A matching-values check across breakdown of loans and advances other than held for trading, and information on performing and non-performing exposures (F 06.01, F 18.00.b, EBA rule v5266_m)

A blocking check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 06.01, breakdown of loans and advances other than held for trading, trading or held for sale assets to non-financial corporations by NACE codes and F 18.00.b, information on performing and non-performing exposures (II).

The rule in plain words

Loans and advances, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures must equal non-financial corporations, accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_06.01: Loans and advances, Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures = F_18.00.B: Non-financial corporations, Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  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 06.01 and F 18.00 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
Loans and advances, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures1,200
What the rule then expects

Non-financial corporations, accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

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.
