2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total assets must equal the sum of its six parts (J 05.00.a, EBA rule v22299_m)

A warning in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 05.00.a, repricing cash flows (I).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total assets must equal these six added up:

  • Central bank
  • Interbank
  • Loans and advances
  • Debt securities
  • Derivatives hedging assets
  • Other

EBA checks it for 27 columns, from overnight (0070) to greater than 1.5 years up to 2 years (0390). That makes 27 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Overnight: Total assets = Central bank + Interbank + Loans and advances + Debt securities + Derivatives hedging assets + Other

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 J 05.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Central bank1,200
Interbank800
Loans and advances450
Debt securities300
Derivatives hedging assets150
Other100
Together3,000
What the rule then expects

Total assets must then be 3,000.

3,000Passes
3,100Fails

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

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