The rule in plain words
Carrying amount of unencumbered assets issued by other entities of the group cannot be negative.
EBA checks it for eleven rows, from assets of the reporting institution (0010) to other assets (0120). That makes eleven checks. A failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 32.01 as reported.
- 05This 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.
Covered bonds, carrying amount of unencumbered assets issued by other entities of the group must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
