The rule in plain words
Total sources of encumbrance must equal carrying amount of selected financial liabilities plus other sources of encumbrance.
All the values are in the additional amount of encumbered assets column (0020) of F 34.00.b.

Additional amount of encumbered assets: TOTAL SOURCES OF ENCUMBRANCE = Carrying amount of selected financial liabilities + Other sources of encumbrance
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
- 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 34.00 as reported.
- 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.
Total sources of encumbrance must then be 2,000.
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.
