Total exposures cannot be less than additional stricter prudential requirements (EBA rule v22988_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 10.00, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: IRB exposures subject to output floor.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total exposures cannot be less than additional stricter prudential requirements based on Article 124 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

EBA checks it for eight columns: original exposure pre conversion factors, exposure net of value adjustments and provisions, exposure value, S-TREA, exposures secured by mortgages on residential property up to 55% of the property value, exposures secured by mortgages on residential property between 55% and 80% of the property value, exposures to unrated corporates with a PD estimate, and IRB exposures subject to counterparty credit risk under the IMM. That makes eight 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.

EXPOSURE NET OF VALUE ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVISIONS: TOTAL EXPOSURES >= Of which: Additional stricter prudential requirements based on Article 124 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 10.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Total exposures1,200
What the rule then expects

Additional stricter prudential requirements based on Article 124 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

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

Show the rule as writtenShow

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

{C_10.00,r0010,c0030,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0030,}

The next five:

{C_10.00,r0010,c0090,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0090,}{C_10.00,r0010,c0120,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0120,}{C_10.00,r0010,c0040,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0040,}{C_10.00,r0010,c0110,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0110,}{C_10.00,r0010,c0060,} >= {C_10.00,r0020,c0060,}

And 2 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
