The rule in plain words
Assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered cannot be negative.
EBA checks it for 17 rows, from carrying amount of selected financial liabilities (0010) to total sources of encumbrance (0170). That makes 17 checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered: Debt securities issued >= 0
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 32.04 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.
Debt securities issued, assets, collateral received and own debt securities issued other than covered bonds and securitisations encumbered must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
