The rule in plain words
OTC - other financial corporations cannot be more than derivatives - hedge accounting.
EBA checks it for eight columns: assets, assets carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, liabilities, liabilities carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, total hedging, derivatives carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, positive value and negative value. That makes eight checks. A failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 11.02 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Derivatives - hedge accounting must then be at least 1,200.
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.
