What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  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 12.01 and F 02.00 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.
