Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Central bank funding (of all types, including e.g. repos). encumbered assets, total plus central bank funding (of all types, including e.g. repos). encumbered collateral received, total cannot be less than central banks, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered (under collateralised deposits other than repurchase agreements) plus central banks, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered (under repurchase agreements).

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_36.01.A: Central bank funding (of all types, including e.g. repos). Encumbered assets, Total + F_36.02.A: Central bank funding (of all types, including e.g. repos).

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 36.01, F 36.02 and F 32.04 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
