How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Total equity = Capital + Share premium + Equity instruments issued other than capital + Other equity + Accumulated other comprehensive income + Retained earnings + Revaluation reserves + Fair value reserves + Other reserves + First consolidation differences + (-) Treasury shares + Profit or loss attributable to Owners of the parent + (-) Interim dividends + Minority interests [Non-controlling interests]

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 01.03 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.
