The rule in plain words

Other commitments given, non-performing exposures - accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions must equal these five added up, all for non-performing other commitments given:

  • Provision
  • Instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1)
  • Instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2) (Stage 2)
  • Credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3)
  • Purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.B: Other Commitments given, Non-performing exposures - Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions = F_09.01.1: of which: non-performing, Provision + F_09.01.1: of which: non-performing, Instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1) + F_09.01.1: of which: non-performing, Instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2) (Stage 2) + F_09.01.1: of which: non-performing, Credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3) + F_09.01.1: of which: non-performing, Purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 18.00 and F 09.01.1 as reported.
  6. 06This 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
non-performing other commitments given, provision1,200
non-performing other commitments given, instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1)800
non-performing other commitments given, instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2) (Stage 2)450
non-performing other commitments given, credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3)300
non-performing other commitments given, purchased or originated credit-impaired instruments150
Together2,900
What the rule then expects

Other commitments given, non-performing exposures - accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

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