1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Trading financial liabilities must equal the sum of its five parts (F 17.03, EBA rule v1769_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 17.03, reconciliation between IFRS and CRR scope of consolidation: liabilities.

The rule in plain words

Trading financial liabilities must equal these five added up:

  • Derivatives
  • Short positions
  • Deposits
  • Debt securities issued
  • Other financial liabilities

All the values are in the accounting scope of consolidation [carrying amount] column (0010) of F 17.03.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Trading financial liabilities = Derivatives + Short positions + Deposits + Debt securities issued + Other financial liabilities

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 F 17.03 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.

What the rule then expects

Trading financial liabilities must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

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