Cash flow hedges [effective portion] must equal the sum of its four parts (EBA rule v1052_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 03.00, statement of comprehensive income.

The rule in plain words

Cash flow hedges [effective portion] must equal these four added up:

  • Valuation gains or (-) losses taken to equity
  • Cash flow hedges [effective portion] transferred to profit or loss
  • Cash flow hedges [effective portion] transferred to initial carrying amount of hedged items
  • Other reclassifications

All the values are in the current period column (0010) of F 03.00.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Cash flow hedges [effective portion] = Valuation gains or (-) losses taken to equity + Transferred to profit or loss + Transferred to initial carrying amount of hedged items + Other reclassifications

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 F 03.00 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.

Cash flow hedges [effective portion] transferred to initial carrying amount of hedged items450

What the rule then expects

Cash flow hedges [effective portion] must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 fails, by 100.

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