The sum of three cells cannot be more than liabilities and own funds less excluded liabilities (EBA rule v10814_m)

A check in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on templates M 01.00, mREL and TLAC key metrics (resolution groups / entities) (KM2), M 02.00.a, mREL and TLAC capacity and composition (resolution groups / entities) (TLAC1) (I) and M 06.00, creditor ranking (resolution entities) (TLAC3).

Line4 Check does not run this rule yet: its EBA formula needs parts of the XBRL formula language the engine does not cover. Your authority’s own validation still runs it.

The rule in plain words

These three added up cannot be more than liabilities and own funds less excluded liabilities:

  • Other bailinable liabilities, minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)
  • Own funds, minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)
  • Eligible liabilities items before adjustments, minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL)

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