1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

The absolute value of guarantees plus the absolute value of credit derivatives cannot be more than original exposure conversion factors (EBA rule v4771_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 08.02, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements - Breakdown of exposures assigned to obligor grades or pools by obligor grades.

The rule in plain words

The absolute value of (-) guarantees plus the absolute value of (-) credit derivatives cannot be more than original exposure conversion factors.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

the absolute value of (-) Guarantees + the absolute value of (-) Credit derivatives <= Original exposure conversion factors

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 08.02 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.

The cells it reads

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
(-) guarantees1,200
(-) credit derivatives800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Original exposure conversion factors must then be at least 2,000.

2,000Passes
1,900Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 1,900 fails, by 100.

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