The rule in plain words

For past due > 30 days <= 90 days: non-financial corporations must equal non-financial corporations - other than SMEs plus small and medium-sized Enterprises.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.B: Non-financial corporations, of which: Past due > 30 days <= 90 days = F_23.04: of which: Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, of which: Past due > 30 days <= 90 days + F_18.00.B: Of which: Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, of which: Past due > 30 days <= 90 days

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 18.00 and F 23.04 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
Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, past due > 30 days <= 90 days1,200
Small and medium-sized Enterprises, past due > 30 days <= 90 days800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Non-financial corporations, past due > 30 days <= 90 days 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.

EBA's formula. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_18.00.b,r0120,c0910,} = {F_23.04,r0130,c0040,} + {F_18.00.b,r0130,c0910,}

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
