1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 17 March 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Allowances for credit-impaired debt instruments (Stage 3) must equal the sum of its two parts (row 0360, EBA rule v23847_h)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 12.01.a, movements in allowances and provisions for credit losses (I).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Allowances for credit-impaired debt instruments (Stage 3) must equal debt securities plus loans and advances.

All the values are in the increases due to origination and acquisition column (0020) of F 12.01.a.

EBA writes it out twelve times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_12.01.a,r0360,c0020,} = {F_12.01.a,r0370,c0020,} + {F_12.01.a,r0430,c0020,}

And 11 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

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