2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total must equal the sum of its ten parts (F 15.00.a, EBA rule v1204_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 15.00.a, derecognition and financial liabilities associated with transferred financial assets: equity instruments, debt securities, loans and advances.

The rule in plain words

Total must equal these ten added up:

  • Financial assets held for trading
  • Trading financial assets
  • Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss
  • Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
  • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity
  • Financial assets at amortised cost
  • Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method
  • Other non-trading non-derivative financial assets

EBA checks it for four columns: carrying amount, securitizations, repurchase agreements and amounts derecognised for capital purposes. That makes four 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.

Of which: repurchase agreements: Total = Financial assets held for trading + Trading financial assets + Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss + Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss + Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income + Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss + Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at fair value to equity + Financial assets at amortised cost + Non-trading non-derivative financial assets measured at a cost-based method + Other non-trading non-derivative financial assets

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 F 15.00 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.
