1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total must equal the sum of its three parts (C 28.00, EBA rule v0650_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 must equal these three added up:

  • Total original exposure
  • (-) value adjustments and provisions
  • (-) exposures deducted from CET 1 or additional Tier 1 items
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Total = Total original exposure + (-) Value adjustments and provisions + (-) Exposures deducted from CET 1 or Additional Tier 1 items

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Total original exposure1,200
(-) value adjustments and provisions800
(-) exposures deducted from CET 1 or additional Tier 1 items450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Total must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

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

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