The rule in plain words

For debt securities: add up these five:

  • Subsidiaries and other entities of the same group
  • Associates and joint ventures
  • Other related parties
  • Key management of the institution or its parent
  • Parent and entities with joint control or significance influence

The result cannot be more than these ten added up:

  • Carrying amount (under other non-trading non-derivative financial assets)
  • Carrying amount (under non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method)
  • Carrying amount (under financial assets at amortised cost)
  • Carrying amount (under non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss)
  • Carrying amount (under non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss)
  • Carrying amount (under trading financial assets)
  • Carrying amount (under non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity)
  • Carrying amount (under financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income)
  • Carrying amount (under financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss)
  • Carrying amount (under financial assets held for trading)

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because some of its cells have no name of their own in EBA’s template.

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 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 F 31.01 and F 01.01 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.
