1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Deposits must equal the sum of its two parts (F 32.04.b, EBA rule v2871_m)

A warning in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on template F 32.04.b, asset encumbrance: sources of encumbrance (b).

The rule in plain words

Deposits must equal repurchase agreements plus collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements.

All the values are in the assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered column (0030) of F 32.04.b.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered: Deposits = Repurchase agreements + Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 32.04 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

Asset encumbrance: sources of encumbrance (b) (F 32.04.b)

Rows

  • 0040Deposits

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Repurchase agreements1,200
Collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements800

What the rule then expects

Deposits must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

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.
