1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Collateral that does not qualify as a liquid asset must equal the sum of its two parts (C 74.00.a, EBA rule v4527_m)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 74.00.a, liquidity coverage, inflows, total (DA).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Collateral that does not qualify as a liquid asset must equal collateral is non-liquid equity plus all other non-liquid collateral.

EBA checks it for six columns: subject to the 75% cap on inflows (0010), subject to the 90% cap on inflows (0020), exempted from the cap on inflows (0030), subject to the 75% cap on inflows (0140), subject to the 90% cap on inflows (0150) and exempted from the cap on inflows (0160). That makes six 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.

Subject to the 75% cap on inflows: collateral that does not qualify as a liquid asset = collateral is non-liquid equity + all other non-liquid collateral

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C 74.00 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
collateral is non-liquid equity1,200
all other non-liquid collateral800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Collateral that does not qualify as a liquid asset 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.

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

{C_74.00.a,r0299,c0010,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0301,c0010,},{C_74.00.a,r0303,c0010,})

The next five:

{C_74.00.a,r0299,c0140,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0303,c0140,},{C_74.00.a,r0301,c0140,}){C_74.00.a,r0299,c0160,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0303,c0160,},{C_74.00.a,r0301,c0160,}){C_74.00.a,r0299,c0030,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0303,c0030,},{C_74.00.a,r0301,c0030,}){C_74.00.a,r0299,c0020,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0303,c0020,},{C_74.00.a,r0301,c0020,}){C_74.00.a,r0299,c0150,} = sum({C_74.00.a,r0303,c0150,},{C_74.00.a,r0301,c0150,})

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