Interest income on liabilities must equal the sum of its four parts (EBA rule v4719_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 02.00, statement of profit or loss and F 16.01, breakdown of selected statement of profit or loss items: interest income and expenses by instrument and counterparty sector(a).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Interest income on liabilities must equal these four added up:

  • Deposits
  • Debt securities issued
  • Other financial liabilities
  • Other liabilities

All the values are in the current period column (0010).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_02.00: Interest income on liabilities = F_16.01: Deposits, Income + F_16.01: Debt securities issued, Income + F_16.01: Other financial liabilities, Income + F_16.01: Other Liabilities, Income

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 F 02.00 and F 16.01 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Deposits1,200
Debt securities issued800
Other financial liabilities450
Other liabilities300
Together2,750
What the rule then expects

Interest income on liabilities must then be 2,750.

2,750Passes
2,850Fails

A file that reports 2,750 passes. One that reports 2,850 fails, by 100.

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