Other operating income and expenses, income must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v23436_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 20.03, geographical breakdown of main income statement items by location of the activities and F 45.03, other operating income and expenses.

The rule in plain words

Other operating income and expenses, income must equal other operating income, domestic activities plus other operating income, non-domestic activities.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_45.03: Other operating income and expenses, Income = F_20.03: Other operating income, Domestic activities + F_20.03: Other operating income, Non-domestic activities

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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 F 20.03 and F 45.03 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.

What the rule then expects

Other operating income and expenses, income must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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