How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

C_35.01: Secured part of NPEs, >7 years <=8 years = C_35.02: Part of NPEs guaranteed or counter-guaranteed by an eligible protection provider, >7 years <=8 years + C_35.02: Part of NPEs secured by immovable property or residential loan guaranteed by an eligible protection provider, >7 years <=8 years + C_35.02: Part of NPEs secured by other funded or unfunded credit protection, >7 years <=8 years + C_35.03: Part of NPEs secured by immovable property or residential loan guaranteed by an eligible protection provider, >7 years <=8 years + C_35.03: Part of NPEs secured by other funded or unfunded credit protection, >7 years <=8 years

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 C 35.01, C 35.02 and C 35.03 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.

Together2,900
What the rule then expects

Secured part of NPEs must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
