1 min readBlockingEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss: the sum of two columns cannot be more than equity instruments, carrying amount in F 01.01 (EBA rule v5059_m)

A blocking check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.01, balance sheet statement: assets and F 15.00.a, derecognition and financial liabilities associated with transferred financial assets: equity instruments, debt securities, loans and advances.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

For equity instruments: carrying amount in F 15.00.a plus carrying amount of assets still recognised [continuing involvement] cannot be more than carrying amount in F 01.01.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_15.00.A: Equity instruments, Carrying amount + F_15.00.A: Equity instruments, Carrying amount of assets still recognised [continuing involvement] <= F_01.01: Equity instruments

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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 F 15.00 and F 01.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Equity instruments, carrying amount in F 15.00.a1,200
Equity instruments, carrying amount of assets still recognised [continuing involvement]800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Equity instruments, carrying amount in F 01.01 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.
