Debt securities: the sum of three rows must equal credit institutions, non-performing gross carrying amount (all sheets added up) (EBA rule v5283_m)

A warning 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.

The rule in plain words

For credit institutions: these three added up must equal non-performing gross carrying amount (all sheets added up):

  • Non-performing (row 0184)
  • Non-performing (row 0040)
  • Non-performing (row 0214)
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.A: Debt securities, credit institutions, Non-performing (row 0184) + F_18.00.A: Debt securities, credit institutions, Non-performing (row 0040) + F_18.00.A: Debt securities, credit institutions, Non-performing (row 0214) = F_20.04: Credit institutions, Of which: non-performing (all sheets added up)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  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 18.00 and F 20.04 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.
