2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total assets must equal the sum of its twelve parts (EBA rule v4105_m)

A warning in the funding plans return (FP), on template P 01.01, assets.

The rule in plain words

Total assets must equal these twelve added up:

  • Cash and cash balances at central banks
  • Reverse repurchase loans
  • Loans and advances to households (exc reverse repurchase loans)
  • Loans and advances to non-financial corporations (excl. reverse repurchase loans)
  • Loans and advances to credit institutions (excl. reverse repurchase loans)
  • Loans and advances to other financial corporations (excl. reverse repurchase loans)
  • Loans and advances to central banks (excl. reverse repurchase loans)
  • Loans and advances to general governments (excl. reverse repurchase loans)
  • Derivatives
  • Debt securities
  • Equity instruments
  • Other assets

EBA checks it for four columns: actual current position, planned Year 1 Position, planned Year 2 Position and planned Year 3 Position. That makes four checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Planned Year 1 Position: Total Assets = Cash and cash balances at central banks + Reverse repurchase loans + Loans and advances to households (exc reverse repurchase loans) + Loans and advances to non-financial corporations (excl. reverse repurchase loans) + Loans and advances to credit institutions (excl. reverse repurchase loans) + Loans and advances to other financial corporations (excl. reverse repurchase loans) + Loans and advances to central banks (excl. reverse repurchase loans) + Loans and advances to general governments (excl. reverse repurchase loans) + Derivatives + Debt securities + Equity instruments + Other assets

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 P 01.01 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.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{P_01.01,r220,c030,} = {P_01.01,r010,c030,} + {P_01.01,r020,c030,} + {P_01.01,r030,c030,} + {P_01.01,r100,c030,} + {P_01.01,r180,c030,} + {P_01.01,r190,c030,} + {P_01.01,r195,c030,} + {P_01.01,r197,c030,} + {P_01.01,r200,c030,} + {P_01.01,r205,c030,} + {P_01.01,r207,c030,} + {P_01.01,r211,c030,}

Every FP rule, by template

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
