Derivatives hedging assets must equal hedging debt securities plus hedging other assets (J 05.00.a, EBA rule v22303_m)

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Derivatives hedging assets must equal hedging debt securities plus hedging other assets.

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.

Greater than 10 years up to 15 years: Derivatives hedging assets = Hedging debt securities + Hedging other assets

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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
Hedging debt securities1,200
Hedging other assets800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Derivatives hedging assets must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

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

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

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0230,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0230,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0230,}

The next five:

{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0330,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0330,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0330,}{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0390,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0390,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0390,}{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0250,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0250,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0250,}{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0120,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0120,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0120,}{J_05.00.a,r0140,c0190,} = {J_05.00.a,r0160,c0190,} + {J_05.00.a,r0170,c0190,}

And 21 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
