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 15.00.b, EBA rule v23946_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 15.00.b, derecognition and financial liabilities associated with transferred financial assets: derivatives, deposits, debt securities issued, other financial liabilities.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

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

EBA checks it for four columns: carrying amount, securitizations, repurchase agreements and carrying amount of associated liabilities. That makes four 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.

Carrying amount: 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 15.00 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.

The cells it reads

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Equity instruments1,200
Debt securities800
Loans and advances450
Together2,450
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.

Show the rule as writtenShow

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

{F_15.00.b,r0091,c0040,} = {F_15.00.b,r0092,c0040,} + {F_15.00.b,r0093,c0040,} + {F_15.00.b,r0094,c0040,}

The next three:

{F_15.00.b,r0091,c0060,} = {F_15.00.b,r0092,c0060,} + {F_15.00.b,r0093,c0060,} + {F_15.00.b,r0094,c0060,}{F_15.00.b,r0091,c0090,} = {F_15.00.b,r0092,c0090,} + {F_15.00.b,r0093,c0090,} + {F_15.00.b,r0094,c0090,}{F_15.00.b,r0091,c0050,} = {F_15.00.b,r0092,c0050,} + {F_15.00.b,r0093,c0050,} + {F_15.00.b,r0094,c0050,}
