Total original exposure must equal the sum of its 13 parts (C 28.00, EBA rule v0647_m)

A warning in the large exposures return (COREP LE), on template C 28.00, exposures in the non-trading and trading book.

The rule in plain words

Total original exposure must equal these 13 added up:

  • Debt instruments, direct exposures
  • Equity instruments, direct exposures
  • Derivatives, direct exposures
  • Loan commitments (column 090)
  • Financial guarantees (column 100)
  • Other commitments (column 110)
  • Debt instruments, indirect exposures
  • Equity instruments, indirect exposures
  • Derivatives, indirect exposures
  • Loan commitments (column 150)
  • Financial guarantees (column 160)
  • Other commitments (column 170)
  • Additional exposures arising from transactions where there is an exposure to underlying assets
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Total original exposure = Direct exposures, debt instruments + Direct exposures, equity instruments + Direct exposures, derivatives + Off balance sheet items, loan commitments (column 090) + Off balance sheet items, financial guarantees (column 100) + Off balance sheet items, other commitments (column 110) + Indirect exposures, debt instruments + Indirect exposures, equity instruments + Indirect exposures, derivatives + Off balance sheet items, loan commitments (column 150) + Off balance sheet items, financial guarantees (column 160) + Off balance sheet items, other commitments (column 170) + Additional exposures arising from transactions where there is an exposure to underlying assets

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 28.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
