Goodwill in F 16.07.a must equal goodwill in F 02.00 (EBA rule v1335_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 02.00, statement of profit or loss and F 16.07.a, breakdown of selected statement of profit or loss items: impairment on non-financial assets (a).

The rule in plain words

Goodwill in F 16.07.a must equal goodwill in F 02.00.

All the values are in the additions column (0010).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_16.07.A: Goodwill, Additions = F_02.00: (Goodwill)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  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 02.00 and F 16.07 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

What the rule then expects

(Goodwill) must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

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