How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.B: Loan commitments given, Non-performing exposures - Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions, of which: purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets + F_18.00.B: Loan commitments given, Performing exposures - Accumulated impairment and provisions, of which: purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets = F_09.01.1: Loan commitments given, Purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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 F 18.00 and F 09.01.1 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
Loan commitments given, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, non-performing exposures - accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions1,200
Loan commitments given, purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, performing exposures - accumulated impairment and provisions800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Loan commitments given, purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments 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.
