1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Loans and advances must equal retail plus wholesale non-financial plus wholesale financial (J 08.00.a, EBA rule v22334_m)

A warning in the interest rate risk in the banking book return (IRRBB), on template J 08.00.a, relevant parameters (I).

The rule in plain words

Loans and advances must equal these three added up:

  • Retail
  • Wholesale non-financial
  • Wholesale financial

All the values are in the notional amount column (0010) of J 08.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Notional amount: Loans and advances = Retail + Wholesale non-financial + Wholesale financial

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 J 08.00 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.

What the rule then expects

Loans and advances must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

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

EBA's formula. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{J_08.00.a,r0160,c0010,} = {J_08.00.a,r0180,c0010,} + {J_08.00.a,r0200,c0010,} + {J_08.00.a,r0210,c0010,}

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
