A blocking check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 02.00.a, capital adequacy - risk exposure amounts and C 18.00, market risk: standardised approach for traded debt instruments.

The rule in plain words

Traded debt instruments in trading book, total risk exposure amount, total must equal traded debt instruments, TREA.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

C_18.00: TRADED DEBT INSTRUMENTS IN TRADING BOOK, Total risk exposure amount, Total = C_02.00.A: Traded debt instruments, TREA

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 18.00 and C 02.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Traded debt instruments in trading book, total risk exposure amount, total1,200
What the rule then expects

Traded debt instruments, TREA must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
