Total risk exposure amount for the business subject to market risk must equal the sum of its four parts (EBA rule v22969_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 02.00.a, capital adequacy - risk exposure amounts.

The rule in plain words

Total risk exposure amount for the business subject to market risk must equal these four added up:

  • Risk exposure amount for Position, foreign exchange and commodities risks under internal models (IM)
  • Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S
  • Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying exclusively the alternative standardised appr
  • Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying only the alternative internal models approach

All the values are in the TREA column (0010) of C 02.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

TREA: TOTAL RISK EXPOSURE AMOUNT FOR THE BUSINESS SUBJECT TO MARKET RISK = Risk exposure amount for Position, foreign exchange and commodities risks under internal models (IM) + Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S + Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying exclusively the Alternative standardised appr + Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying only the Alternative Internal Models Approach

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 C 02.00 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

Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S800
Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying exclusively the alternative standardised appr450
Risk exposure amount for on- and off-balance sheet subject to market risk of entities applying only the alternative internal models approach300
Together2,750
What the rule then expects

Total risk exposure amount for the business subject to market risk must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 fails, by 100.

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