Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

All male staff in percent of all staff plus all female staff in percent of all staff must equal 1.

EBA checks it for five rows: quartile 1 (low), quartile 2 (low to medium), quartile 3 (medium to high), quartile 4 (high), and total staff or identified staff. That makes five checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Quartile 4 (high), All male staff in percent of all staff + Quartile 4 (high), All female staff in percent of all staff = 1

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value outside the limit in these cells.
  3. 03If the value is a percentage, EBA expects it as a decimal: 12% is reported as 0.12.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 06.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{R_06.01.b,r0060,c0020,} + {R_06.01.b,r0060,c0030,} = 1

The next four:

{R_06.01.b,r0070,c0020,} + {R_06.01.b,r0070,c0030,} = 1{R_06.01.b,r0030,c0020,} + {R_06.01.b,r0030,c0030,} = 1{R_06.01.b,r0050,c0020,} + {R_06.01.b,r0050,c0030,} = 1{R_06.01.b,r0040,c0020,} + {R_06.01.b,r0040,c0030,} = 1
