Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
Amount/Market value: Amount/Market value >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark Q 03.02 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
S_03.02.A: composition of the reserve of assets by counterparty/issuer (Q 03.02.a)
