SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables) cannot be more than security financing transactions (EBA rule v10098_m)

A warning in the leverage ratio return (COREP LR), on template C 40.00.a, alternative treatment of the exposure measure (I).

The rule in plain words

SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables) cannot be more than security financing transactions.

All the values are in the accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM column (0020) of C 40.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM: SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables) <= Security Financing Transactions

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 40.00 as reported.
  5. 05This 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
SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables)1,200
What the rule then expects

Security financing transactions must then be at least 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,100Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,100 fails, by 100.

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