None of the 36 values it checks in composition of specific committees of the management body in its supervisory function can be negative (R 15.00, EBA rule v22855_s)

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

None of the values it checks in composition of specific committees of the management body in its supervisory function can be negative.

EBA checks it for three columns: male, female and non-binary. And for twelve rows, from chair of risk committee (0010) to other members of the combined nomination and remuneration committee (0120). That makes 36 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.

Non-binary: Chair of remuneration committee >= 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 15.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Chair of remuneration committee, non-binary must then be at least 0.

0Passes
-100Fails

A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.

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