1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

The sum of three columns cannot be more than trading financial liabilities, carrying amount (EBA rule v5092_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.02, balance sheet statement: liabilities and F 14.00, fair value hierarchy: financial instruments at fair value.

The rule in plain words

For trading financial liabilities: these three added up cannot be more than carrying amount:

  • Level 3
  • Level 2
  • Level 1
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_14.00: Trading financial liabilities, Level 3 + F_14.00: Trading financial liabilities, Level 2 + F_14.00: Trading financial liabilities, Level 1 <= F_01.02: Trading financial liabilities

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 01.02 and F 14.00 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Trading financial liabilities, level 31,200
Trading financial liabilities, level 2800
Trading financial liabilities, level 1450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Trading financial liabilities, carrying amount must then be at least 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,350Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,350 fails, by 100.

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