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

Other forms, total amount of deferred remuneration awarded before the financial year actually paid out in the financial year cannot be negative (EBA rule v12154_s)

A check in the remuneration benchmarking, credit institutions return (REM benchmarking), on template R 11.00, deferred remuneration.

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

Other forms, total amount of deferred remuneration awarded before the financial year actually paid out in the financial year cannot be negative.

EBA writes it out 200 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.
