The rule in plain words
Total assets must equal total equity plus total liabilities.
All the values are in the carrying amount column (0010).
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
F_01.03: Total equity + F_01.02: Total liabilities = F_01.01: Total assets
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
- 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 01.03, F 01.02 and F 01.01 as reported.
- 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.
Total assets must then be 2,000.
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.
