1 min readBlockingEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading and trading must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v0777_m)

A blocking check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.02, balance sheet statement: liabilities and F 10.00, derivatives: trading and economic hedges.

The rule in plain words

For derivatives: financial liabilities held for trading and trading must equal carrying amount (under financial liabilities held for trading) plus carrying amount (under trading financial liabilities).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_01.02: Financial liabilities held for trading, derivatives + F_01.02: Trading financial liabilities, derivatives = F_10.00: Derivatives, Financial liabilities Held for trading and trading

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 F 01.02 and F 10.00 as reported.
  6. 06This 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
Derivatives, carrying amount (under financial liabilities held for trading)1,200
Derivatives, carrying amount (under trading financial liabilities)800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Derivatives, financial liabilities held for trading and trading must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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