The rule in plain words

If members of the MB is reported, total remuneration of identified staff must be reported.

EBA checks it for three columns: MB supervisory function, MB management function and total MB. That makes three 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 Of which: members of the MB is reported, then Total remuneration of identified staff 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 12.00 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.

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

if ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0020,c0020,})))) then ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0050,c0020,})))) else True

The next two:

if ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0020,c0030,})))) then ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0050,c0030,})))) else Trueif ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0020,c0010,})))) then ((not(empty({R_12.00.a,r0050,c0010,})))) else True

Every REM benchmarking rule, by template

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