1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factor cannot be less than defaulted (EBA rule v4783_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 09.02, geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (IRB exposures).

The rule in plain words

Risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factor cannot be less than defaulted.

EBA checks it for 31 rows, from central governments or central banks (0010) to total exposures (0150). That makes 31 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.

Of Which: Specialised Lending - Object Finance, RISK WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT PRE SUPPORTING FACTOR >= Of Which: Specialised Lending - Object Finance, Of which: defaulted

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 smaller 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 09.02 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Risk weighted exposure amount pre supporting factor1,200
What the rule then expects

Defaulted can then be at most 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 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}.

The next five:

{C_09.02,r0100,c0110,} >= {C_09.02,r0100,c0120,}{C_09.02,r0070,c0110,} >= {C_09.02,r0070,c0120,}{C_09.02,r0080,c0110,} >= {C_09.02,r0080,c0120,}{C_09.02,r0060,c0110,} >= {C_09.02,r0060,c0120,}{C_09.02,r0133,c0110,} >= {C_09.02,r0133,c0120,}
