The rule in plain words

  • Purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments
  • Nominal amount in F 09.01.1

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.E: Central banks, Gross carrying amount/Nominal amount = F_09.01: Central banks, Nominal amount + F_09.01.1: Central banks, Instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2) (Stage 2) + F_09.01.1: Central banks, Instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1) + F_09.01.1: Central banks, Purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments + F_09.01.1: Central banks, Nominal amount + F_09.01.1: Central banks, Credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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 18.00 and F 09.01 or F 09.01.1 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Central banks, nominal amount in F 09.011,200
Central banks, instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2) (Stage 2)800
Central banks, instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1)450
Central banks, purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments300
Central banks, nominal amount in F 09.01.1150
Central banks, credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3)100
Together3,000
What the rule then expects

Central banks, gross carrying amount or nominal amount must then be 3,000.

3,000Passes
3,100Fails

A file that reports 3,000 passes. One that reports 3,100 fails, by 100.

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