1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Defaulted exposures in exposure classes 'CIUs' and equity exposures cannot be more than total exposures (EBA rule v4728_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 07.00.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements.

The rule in plain words

Defaulted exposures in exposure classes 'CIUs' and ‘equity exposures’ cannot be more than total exposures.

EBA checks it for 16 columns, from original exposure pre conversion factors (0010) to risk weighted exposure amount after supporting factors and after FX-mismatch (0220). That makes 16 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.

Original exposure pre conversion factors: Of which: Defaulted exposures in exposure classes 'CIUs' and ‘equity exposures’ <= TOTAL EXPOSURES

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 07.00 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.
