ECL amount IFRS 9 Stage 3 cannot be more than exposure value, IFRS 9 Stage 3 (EBA rule v16280_m)

A warning in the benchmarking of IFRS 9 models return (SBP IFRS 9), on template C 115.00, details on exposures in high default portfolios.

The rule in plain words

ECL amount IFRS 9 Stage 3 cannot be more than exposure value - IFRS 9 Stage 3.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

ECL amount IFRS 9 Stage 3 <= Exposure value - IFRS 9 Stage 3

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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 compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 115.00 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.

Illustrative values
ECL amount IFRS 9 Stage 31,200
What the rule then expects

Exposure value - IFRS 9 Stage 3 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.
