The rule in plain words
Derogations on a firm wide basis under Article 94(3)(a) of the CRD cannot be negative.
EBA checks it for 14 rows, from number of identified staff benefitting from the above derogation (0040) to fixed remuneration (0210). That makes 14 checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Derogations on a firm wide basis under Art. 94(3)(a) CRD: Total remuneration of identified staff benefitting from the above derogation >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 05.00 as reported.
- 05This 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.
Total remuneration of identified staff benefitting from the above derogation, derogations on a firm wide basis under Article 94(3)(a) of the CRD must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
