1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Carrying amount must equal the sum of its eight parts (F 04.03.1, EBA rule v5029_m)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 04.03.1, breakdown of financial assets by instrument and by counterparty sector: financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Carrying amount must equal these eight added up:

  • Assets without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1), gross carrying amount
  • Assets with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2), gross carrying amount
  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3), gross carrying amount
  • Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, gross carrying amount
  • Assets without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1), accumulated impairment
  • Assets with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2), accumulated impairment
  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3), accumulated impairment
  • Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, accumulated impairment

All the values are in the other financial corporations row (0150) of F 04.03.1.

EBA writes it out 14 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_04.03.1,r0150,c0010,} = {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0015,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0030,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0040,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0041,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0050,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0060,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0070,} + {F_04.03.1,r0150,c0071,}

And 13 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
