1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total daily client orders handled, cash value must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v11176_m)

A warning in the investment firms, class 2 return (IFR class 2), on template I 06.08, average value of total daily COH.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total daily client orders handled - cash value must equal execution of client orders plus reception and transmission of client orders.

EBA checks it for five columns: month t-3, month t-4, month t-5, month t-6 and month t-7. That makes five checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Month t-4: Total daily client orders handled - Cash value = Of which: Execution of client orders + Of which: Reception and transmission of client orders

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 I 06.08 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.

What the rule then expects

Total daily client orders handled - cash value must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{I_06.08,r0010,c0020,} = {I_06.08,r0020,c0020,} + {I_06.08,r0030,c0020,}

The next four:

{I_06.08,r0010,c0030,} = {I_06.08,r0020,c0030,} + {I_06.08,r0030,c0030,}{I_06.08,r0010,c0050,} = {I_06.08,r0020,c0050,} + {I_06.08,r0030,c0050,}{I_06.08,r0010,c0040,} = {I_06.08,r0020,c0040,} + {I_06.08,r0030,c0040,}{I_06.08,r0010,c0010,} = {I_06.08,r0020,c0010,} + {I_06.08,r0030,c0010,}

Every IFR class 2 rule, by template

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