1 min readBlockingEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Subordinated financial liabilities cannot be more than financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (EBA rule v1306_m)

A blocking check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.02, balance sheet statement: liabilities and F 08.02, subordinated liabilities.

The rule in plain words

Subordinated financial liabilities cannot be more than financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

F_08.02: Subordinated financial liabilities, Designated at fair value through profit or loss <= F_01.02: Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 01.02 and F 08.02 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Subordinated financial liabilities1,200
What the rule then expects

Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss must then be at least 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,100Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
