1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A conditional check on composition of specific committees of the management body in its supervisory function (R 15.00, row 0050, EBA rule v22565_m)

A warning in the diversity benchmarking return (REM diversity), on template R 15.00, composition of specific committees of the management body in its supervisory function.

The rule in plain words

If chair of combined audit and risk committee is reported or other members of combined audit and risk committee is reported, chair of risk committee must be left empty, and other members of the risk committee must be left empty, and chair of audit committee must be left empty, and other members of audit committee must be left empty.

EBA checks it for three columns: male, female and non-binary. That makes three checks. A failure names the one that failed.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

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.

Female: If Chair of combined audit and risk committee is reported or Other members of combined audit and risk committee is reported, then (Chair of risk committee is empty and Other members of the risk committee is empty and Chair of audit committee is empty and Other members of audit committee is empty)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your file. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 15.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

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

if ((not(empty({R_15.00,r0050,c0020,})) or not(empty({R_15.00,r0060,c0020,})))) then ((empty({R_15.00,r0010,c0020,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0020,c0020,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0030,c0020,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0040,c0020,}))) else True

The next two:

if ((not(empty({R_15.00,r0050,c0010,})) or not(empty({R_15.00,r0060,c0010,})))) then ((empty({R_15.00,r0010,c0010,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0020,c0010,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0030,c0010,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0040,c0010,}))) else Trueif ((not(empty({R_15.00,r0050,c0030,})) or not(empty({R_15.00,r0060,c0030,})))) then ((empty({R_15.00,r0010,c0030,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0020,c0030,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0030,c0030,}) and empty({R_15.00,r0040,c0030,}))) else True

Every REM diversity rule, by template

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