The rule in plain words

Employee representatives that are members of the management body, amount must equal these three added up, all for employee representatives:

  • Female, total number of non-executive directors by gender
  • Male, total number of non-executive directors by gender
  • Non-binary, total number of non-executive directors by gender
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

R_13.00.B: Employee representatives that are members of the management body = R_16.00: Employee representatives, female, Total number of non-executive directors by gender + R_16.00: Employee representatives, male, Total number of non-executive directors by gender + R_16.00: Employee representatives, non-binary, Total number of non-executive directors by gender

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 13.00 and R 16.00 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 file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.
