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

Non-financial corporations, accumulated impairment must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v5317_m)

A check in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 18.00.b, information on performing and non-performing exposures (II) 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: accumulated impairment must equal accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0196) plus accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions (row 0120).
