1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 17 March 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Non-financial corporations, financial assets subject to impairment, including cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v5278_m)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 18.00.a, information on performing and non-performing exposures (I) and F 20.04, geographical breakdown of assets by residence of the counterparty.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

For non-financial corporations: financial assets subject to impairment, including cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits must equal gross carrying amount or nominal amount (row 0196) plus gross carrying amount or nominal amount (row 0120).
