The rule in plain words
Derivatives - hedge accounting cannot be less than fair value hedges.
EBA checks it for eight columns: assets, assets carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, liabilities, liabilities carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, total hedging, derivatives carried at amortised cost / LOCOM, positive value and negative value. That makes eight checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
Assets: Derivatives - Hedge Accounting >= of which: fair value hedges
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 11.02 as reported.
- 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.
Fair value hedges can then be at most 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
