The rule in plain words
Debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment must equal debt securities plus loans and advances.
EBA checks it for two columns: financial guarantees received on performing exposures and financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Financial guarantees received on performing exposures: DEBT INSTRUMENTS AT STRICT LOCOM, OR FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS OR THROUGH EQUITY NOT SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT = Debt securities + Loans and advances
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- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 18.00 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.
Debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment 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.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.
{F_18.00.c,r0231,c0205,} = {F_18.00.c,r0211,c0205,} + {F_18.00.c,r0221,c0205,}The next one:
{F_18.00.c,r0231,c0210,} = {F_18.00.c,r0211,c0210,} + {F_18.00.c,r0221,c0210,}Other rules on F 18.00.c
