Each of the 30 values it checks in (CR sec details) Detailed information on securitisations cannot be more than zero (C 14.01, EBA rule v23147_s)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 14.01, (CR sec details) Detailed information on securitisations by approach.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Each of the values it checks in (CR sec details) Detailed information on securitisations cannot be more than zero.

EBA checks it for five columns: (-) exposure value deducted from own funds, (-) reduction due to risk weight cap (0431), (-) reduction due to overall cap (0432), (-) reduction due to risk weight cap (0442) and (-) reduction due to overall cap (0443). And on six sheets: standardised approach for securitisations (sec-SA), external ratings-based approach for securitisation positions (sec-erba), internal ratings-based approach for securitisation positions (sec-IRBA), 1250% for positions not subject to any method, internal assessment approach and specific treatment for senior tranches of qualifying NPE securitisations. That makes 30 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.

(-) REDUCTION DUE TO RISK WEIGHT CAP: (-) REDUCTION DUE TO RISK WEIGHT CAP, Specific treatment for senior tranches of qualifying NPE securitisations <= 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 C 14.01 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.

What the rule then expects

(-) reduction due to risk weight cap can then be at most 0.

0Passes
100Fails

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

The numbers are illustrative.
