  • Model risk
  • Concentrated positions
  • Future admnistrative costs
  • Early termination
  • Operational risk
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

C_32.02.A: Of which: trading book, Total AVA >= C_32.02.A: Of which: trading book, Market price uncertainty + C_32.02.A: Of which: trading book, Close-out costs + C_32.02.A: Of which: trading book, Model risk + C_32.02.C: of which: trading book, Concentrated positions + C_32.02.C: of which: trading book, Future admnistrative costs + C_32.02.C: of which: trading book, Early termination + C_32.02.C: of which: trading book, Operational risk

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller 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 32.02 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.

What the rule then expects

Trading book, total AVA must then be at least 3,060.

3,060Passes
2,960Fails

A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 2,960 fails, by 100.

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