If total fixed remuneration is reported or total variable remuneration is reported, total remuneration must be reported (EBA rule v12688_m)

A warning in the remuneration benchmarking, credit institutions return (REM benchmarking), on template R 09.00, remuneration awarded for the financial year.

The rule in plain words

If total fixed remuneration is reported or total variable remuneration is reported, total remuneration must be reported.

EBA checks it for four columns: MB supervisory function, MB management function, other senior management and other identified staff. That makes four 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.

MB Management function: If Total fixed remuneration is reported or Total variable remuneration is reported, then Total remuneration is reported

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 09.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

The cells it reads

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

Every REM benchmarking rule, by template

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
