Line4

1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Impairment or reversal of impairment on non-financial assets must equal the sum of its five parts (F 16.07.b, EBA rule v0888_m)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 16.07.b, breakdown of selected statement of profit or loss items: impairment on non-financial assets (b).

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment on non-financial assets must equal these five added up:

  • Goodwill
  • Property, plant and equipment
  • Other
  • Other intangible assets
  • Investment properties

All the values are in the accumulated impairment column (0040) of F 16.07.b.
