1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total remuneration must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v12105_m)

A check in the remuneration benchmarking, investment firms return, REM benchmarking (IF), on templates R 02.01, information on remuneration of identified staff in investment firms and R 02.02, information on remuneration of identified staff per business area.

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Total remuneration (in EUR) must equal total fixed remuneration (in EUR) in year N plus total variable remuneration (in EUR) in year N.

{R_02.02,r0040,c0090,} = {R_02.01,r0030,c0090,} + {R_02.01,r0110,c0090,}

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