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

Fixed remuneration, total must equal the sum of its four parts (EBA rule v12620_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

Fixed remuneration (in EUR), total must equal these four added up, all for total fixed remuneration (in EUR) in year N:

  • Other senior management
  • MB management function
  • Other identified staff
  • MB supervisory function
