Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

For debt instruments at strict LOCOM: or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment, collateral received on exposures with forbearance measures plus or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment, financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures cannot be more than or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment, gross carrying amount / nominal amount of exposures with forbearance measures plus or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment, accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions.

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.

F_19.00.E: DEBT INSTRUMENTS AT STRICT LOCOM, OR FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS OR THROUGH EQUITY NOT SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT, Collateral received on exposures with forbearance measures + F_19.00.C: DEBT INSTRUMENTS AT STRICT LOCOM, OR FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS OR THROUGH EQUITY NOT SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT, Financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures <= F_19.00.A: DEBT INSTRUMENTS AT STRICT LOCOM, OR FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS OR THROUGH EQUITY NOT SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT, Gross carrying amount / nominal amount of exposures with forbearance measures + F_19.00.B: DEBT INSTRUMENTS AT STRICT LOCOM, OR FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS OR THROUGH EQUITY NOT SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT, Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 F 19.00 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.
