SME in C 09.01.a must equal SME in C 07.00.a (EBA rule v0383_m)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 07.00.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements and C 09.01.a, geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA exposures).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

SME in C 09.01.a must equal SME in C 07.00.a.

All the values are in the original exposure pre conversion factors column (0010).

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
