1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A balancing check across breakdown of loans and advances other than held for trading, and information on performing and non-performing exposures (F 06.01, F 18.00.b, EBA rule v5015_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 06.01, breakdown of loans and advances other than held for trading, trading or held for sale assets to non-financial corporations by NACE codes and F 18.00.b, information on performing and non-performing exposures (II).

The rule in plain words

Loans and advances, accumulated impairment plus loans and advances, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures must equal these three added up, all for non-financial corporations:

  • Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0120)
  • Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0196)
  • Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0226)

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_06.01: Loans and advances, Accumulated impairment + F_06.01: Loans and advances, Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures = F_18.00.B: Loans and advances, non-financial corporations, Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0120) + F_18.00.B: Loans and advances, non-financial corporations, Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0196) + F_18.00.B: Loans and advances, non-financial corporations, Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0226)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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 F 06.01 and F 18.00 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.
