The sum of three rows cannot be more than liabilities and own funds less excluded liabilities (EBA rule v10817_m)

A check in the loss-absorbing capacity return (MREL and TLAC), on templates M 03.00, internal MREL and internal TLAC (ILAC) and M 05.00, creditor ranking (entity that is not a resolution entity) (TLAC2).

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:

  • Eligible own funds, internal MREL
  • Eligible liabilities and guarantees, internal MREL
  • Other bailinable liabilities, internal MREL

The template it checks

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