L1 excl. EHQCB "adjusted amount" must equal a calculation over five rows (C 76.00.a, EBA rule v4554_m)

A warning in the liquidity coverage ratio return (LCR), on template C 76.00.a, liquidity coverage, calculations, total (DA).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

L1 excl. EHQCB "adjusted amount" must equal these five worked out:

  • L1 excl. EHQCB liquidity buffer (value according to Article 9): unadjusted
  • Minus L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day outflows
  • L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day inflows
  • Minus secured cash 30 day ouflows
  • Secured cash 30 day inflows

All the values are in the value / percentage column (0010) of C 76.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

L1 excl. EHQCB "adjusted amount" = L1 excl. EHQCB liquidity buffer (value according to Article 9): unadjusted - L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day outflows + L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day inflows - Secured cash 30 day ouflows + Secured cash 30 day inflows

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 76.00 as reported.
  5. 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.

Illustrative values
L1 excl. EHQCB liquidity buffer (value according to Article 9): unadjusted1,200
L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day outflows (taken away)800
L1 excl. EHQCB collateral 30 day inflows450
Secured cash 30 day ouflows (taken away)300
Secured cash 30 day inflows150
Together700
What the rule then expects

L1 excl. EHQCB "adjusted amount" must then be 700.

700Passes
800Fails

A file that reports 700 passes. One that reports 800 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
