1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total funding must equal the sum of its four parts (C 69.00.a, EBA rule v11473_m)

A warning in the additional liquidity monitoring metrics return (ALMM), on template C 69.00.a, prices for various lengths of funding, total.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total funding must equal these four added up:

  • Retail funding
  • Unsecured wholesale funding
  • Secured funding (non-central Bank)
  • Other funding

All the values are on the total currencies sheet (0010) of C 69.00.a.

EBA checks it for nine columns, from volume (0020) to volume (0180). That makes nine 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.

Volume: Total Funding, Total currencies = Retail funding, Total currencies + Unsecured wholesale funding, Total currencies + Secured funding (non-Central Bank), Total currencies + Other Funding, Total currencies

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C 69.00 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.

Illustrative values
Retail funding1,200
Unsecured wholesale funding800
Secured funding (non-central Bank)450
Other funding300
Together2,750
What the rule then expects

Total funding must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 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}.

{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0160,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0160,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0160,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0160,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0160,s0010}

The next five:

{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0060,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0060,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0060,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0060,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0060,s0010}{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0180,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0180,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0180,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0180,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0180,s0010}{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0040,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0040,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0040,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0040,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0040,s0010}{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0140,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0140,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0140,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0140,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0140,s0010}{C_69.00.a,r0010,c0020,s0010} = {C_69.00.a,r0020,c0020,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0030,c0020,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0045,c0020,s0010} + {C_69.00.a,r0080,c0020,s0010}
