The rule in plain words
Investor: total exposures must equal securitisations.
EBA checks it for two columns: weighted net long positions and weighted net short positions. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
WEIGHTED NET LONG POSITIONS: INVESTOR: TOTAL EXPOSURES = SECURITISATIONS
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 19.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
Market risk: standardised approach for specific risk in securitisations (C 19.00)
Rows
- 0060INVESTOR: TOTAL EXPOSURES
- 0070SECURITISATIONS
Columns
- 0530WEIGHTED NET LONG POSITIONS
- 0540WEIGHTED NET SHORT POSITIONS
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Securitisations must then be 1,200.
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.
