A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 07.00.b, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements - of which: arising from counterparty credit risk.

The rule in plain words

The absolute value of total exposures cannot be less than the absolute value of SME.

All the values are in the exposure value arising from counterparty credit risk column (0210) of C 07.00.b.

Of which: Arising from Counterparty Credit Risk: the absolute value of TOTAL EXPOSURES >= the absolute value of of which: SME

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 07.00 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.

The cells it reads

Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements - of which: arising from counterparty credit risk (C 07.00.b)
