None of the 400 values it checks in credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries can be negative (C 10.00, EBA rule v23707_s)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 10.00, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: IRB exposures subject to output floor.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries can be negative.

EBA checks it for ten columns, from original exposure pre conversion factors (0010) to IRB exposures subject to counterparty credit risk under the IMM (0120). And for 40 rows, from total exposures (0010) to SA exposures subject to counterparty credit risk under the IMM (0270). That makes 400 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.

IRB EXPOSURES SUBJECT TO COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK UNDER THE IMM: Subordinated debt exposures >= 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 10.00 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.

0Passes
-100Fails

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