A calculation check across breakdown of loans and advances other than held for trading, and geographical breakdown of assets (F 06.01, F 20.04, EBA rule v5351_m)

A warning 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 20.04, geographical breakdown of assets by residence of the counterparty.

The rule in plain words

Loans and advances, gross carrying amount must equal non-financial corporations, gross carrying amount (all sheets added up) minus non-financial corporations, gross carrying amount held for trading or trading (all sheets added up).

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, Gross carrying amount = F_20.04: Non-financial corporations, Gross carrying amount (all sheets added up) - F_20.04: Non-financial corporations, Of which: held for trading or trading (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 06.01 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.
