1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income must equal the sum of its three parts (F 01.01, EBA rule v23902_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 01.01, balance sheet statement: assets.

The rule in plain words

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income must equal these three added up:

  • Equity instruments
  • Debt securities
  • Loans and advances

All the values are in the carrying amount column (0010) of F 01.01.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income = Equity instruments + Debt securities + Loans and advances

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 01.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

What the rule then expects

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
