A calculation check on MREL and TLAC key metrics (resolution groups / entities) (KM2) (M 01.00, EBA rule v10749_m)

A warning in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on template M 01.00, mREL and TLAC key metrics (resolution groups / entities) (KM2).

The rule in plain words

Own funds and subordinated liabilities (under own funds and eligibile liabilities) must equal own funds and subordinated liabilities (under own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount) times total risk exposure amount (TREA).

All the values are in the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) column (0010) of M 01.00.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL): Own funds and eligibile liabilities, of which: own funds and subordinated liabilities = Own funds and eligible liabilities as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount, of which: own funds and subordinated liabilities × Total risk exposure amount (TREA)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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 M 01.00 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.

{M_01.00,r0210,c0010,} = {M_01.00,r0310,c0010,} * {M_01.00,r0100,c0010,}

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
