The rule in plain words
The absolute value of non-financial corporations cannot be less than the absolute value of small and medium-sized Enterprises.
EBA checks it for five columns: accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions, perfoming exposures with forbearance measures - accumulated impairment and provisions, non-performing exposures with forbearance measures - accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in impairment due to credit risk a, instruments with modifications in their terms and conditions, and refinancing. That makes five checks. A failure names the one that failed.

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 19.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
