The rule in plain words

If other senior management is reported or other identified staff is reported, total remuneration of identified staff must be reported.

EBA checks it for six columns: investment banking, retail banking, asset management, corporate functions, independent internal control functions and all other. That makes six 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.

If R_12.00.B: Of which: other senior management, Investment banking is reported or R_12.00.B: Of which: other identified staff, Investment banking is reported, then R_12.00.A: Total remuneration of identified staff, Investment banking is reported

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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.

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