The rule in plain words

Securitisations issued, matching liabilities, contingent liabilities or securities lent must equal securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, total in F 36.01.b plus securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, total in F 36.02.b.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_36.01.B: Securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, Total + F_36.02.B: Securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, Total = F_32.04.A: Of which: securitisations issued, Matching liabilities, contingent liabilities or securities lent

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 36.01, F 36.02 and 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, total in F 36.01.b1,200
Securitisations issued. Matching liabilities, total in F 36.02.b800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Securitisations issued, matching liabilities, contingent liabilities or securities lent 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.

{F_36.01.b,r0140,c0180,} + {F_36.02.b,r0140,c0190,} = {F_32.04.a,r0110,c0010,}
