Each of the three values it checks in credit risk: equity cannot be more than zero (C 10.02, EBA rule v23362_s)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 10.02, credit risk: equity - IRB approaches to capital requirements - Breakdown of total exposures under the PD/LGD approach by obligor grades.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Each of the values it checks in credit risk: equity cannot be more than zero.

EBA checks it for three columns: (-) guarantees, (-) credit derivatives and (-) substitution of the exposure due to CRM (-) total outflows. That makes three 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.

(-) Credit derivatives: (-) Credit derivatives <= 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 10.02 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 cells it reads

Credit risk: equity - IRB approaches to capital requirements - Breakdown of total exposures under the PD/LGD approach by obligor grades (C 10.02)

Columns

  • 0030(-) Guarantees
  • 0040(-) Credit derivatives
  • 0050(-) Substitution of the exposure due to CRM (-) Total outflows

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

(-) credit derivatives 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.

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