1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total, nominal amount off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting entity must equal the sum of its three parts (EBA rule v1018_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 30.01, interests in unconsolidated structured entities and F 30.02, breakdown of interests in unconsolidated structured entities by nature of the activities.

The rule in plain words

Total, nominal amount off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting entity must equal these three added up, all for off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution:

  • Asset management
  • Securitisation special purpose entities
  • Other activities
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_30.02: Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, Asset management + F_30.02: Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, Securitisation Special Purpose Entities + F_30.02: Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, Other activities = F_30.01: Total, Nominal amount off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting entity

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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 30.02 and F 30.01 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
Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, asset management1,200
Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, securitisation special purpose entities800
Off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting institution, other activities450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Total, nominal amount off-balance sheet exposures given by the reporting entity must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

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

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