The rule in plain words
0.08 times positions subject to capital charge must equal own funds requirements.
All the values are in the specific risk row (0050) of C 21.00.
EBA checks it on 25 sheets, from total (0001) to euro area (0044). That makes 25 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.
0.08 × Specific risk, Positions subject to capital charge, Czech Republic = Specific risk, Own funds requirements, Czech Republic
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 21.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Own funds requirements must then be 96.
A file that reports 96 passes. One that reports 196 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.
{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0006} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0006}The next five:
{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0043} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0043}{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0004} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0004}{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0023} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0023}{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0031} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0031}{C_21.00,r0050,c0050,s0001} * 0.08 = {C_21.00,r0050,c0060,s0001}And 19 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
