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

Total fixed remuneration must equal total remuneration of identified staff (EBA rule v12572_m)

A check in the remuneration benchmarking, credit institutions return (REM benchmarking), on templates R 09.00, remuneration awarded for the financial year and R 12.00.a, information on remuneration of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on institutions’ risk profile (identified staff) (I).

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 fixed remuneration must equal total remuneration of identified staff.

All the values are in the MB management function column (0020).
