The rule in plain words
Accounting scope of consolidation [carrying amount] cannot be more than zero.
EBA checks it for two rows: (-) Treasury shares and (-) Interim dividends. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
(-) Interim dividends <= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 17.03 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
Reconciliation between IFRS and CRR scope of consolidation: liabilities (F 17.03)
Rows
- 0340(-) Treasury shares
- 0360(-) Interim dividends
Column
- 0010Accounting scope of consolidation [carrying amount]
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
(-) Interim dividends can then be at most 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports 100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
