  • Other commitments (column 120)
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Total original exposure = Off balance sheet items, financial guarantees (column 170) + Direct exposures, equity instruments + Direct exposures, debt instruments + Off balance sheet items, other commitments (column 180) + Off balance sheet items, loan commitments (column 100) + Indirect exposures, derivatives + Indirect exposures, debt instruments + Off balance sheet items, financial guarantees (column 110) + Direct exposures, derivatives + Indirect exposures, equity instruments + Additional exposures arising from transactions where there is an exposure to underlying assets + Off balance sheet items, loan commitments (column 160) + Off balance sheet items, other commitments (column 120)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 29.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
