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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 18.00 and F 13.01 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
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on performing exposures (under debt instruments at cost or at amortised cost)1,200
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on performing exposures (under debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment)800
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on performing exposures (under debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment)450
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures (under debt instruments at cost or at amortised cost)300
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures (under debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment)150
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures (under debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment)100
Together3,000
What the rule then expects

Loans and advances, financial guarantees received must then be 3,000.

3,000Passes
3,100Fails

A file that reports 3,000 passes. One that reports 3,100 fails, by 100.

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