The rule in plain words

Total unencumbered collateral received, debt securities issued by financial corporations must equal debt securities issued by financial corporations, fair value of collateral received or own debt securities issued available for encumbrance plus debt securities issued by financial corporations, nominal of collateral received or own debt securities issued non available for encumbrance.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_36.02.C: Total unencumbered collateral received, of which: issued by financial corporations = F_32.02.A: Of which: issued by financial corporations, Fair value of collateral received or own debt securities issued available for encumbrance + F_32.02.A: Of which: issued by financial corporations, Nominal of collateral received or own debt securities issued non available for encumbrance

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.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 36.02 and F 32.02 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
Debt securities issued by financial corporations, fair value of collateral received or own debt securities issued available for encumbrance1,200
Debt securities issued by financial corporations, nominal of collateral received or own debt securities issued non available for encumbrance800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Total unencumbered collateral received, debt securities issued by financial corporations 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.
