1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Deposits: level 3 plus level 1 plus level 2 cannot be more than carrying amount (EBA rule v5095_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 deposits: these three added up cannot be more than carrying amount:

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

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

F_14.00: Deposits, Level 3 + F_14.00: Deposits, Level 1 + F_14.00: Deposits, Level 2 <= F_01.02: Deposits

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
Deposits, level 31,200
Deposits, level 1800
Deposits, level 2450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Deposits, 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.

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