The sum of three rows must equal derivatives in F 20.04 (all sheets added up) (EBA rule v5353_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.01, balance sheet statement: assets and F 20.04, geographical breakdown of assets by residence of the counterparty.

The rule in plain words

These three added up must equal derivatives in F 20.04 (all sheets added up):

  • Derivatives – hedge accounting
  • Derivatives in F 01.01 (under trading financial assets)
  • Derivatives in F 01.01 (under financial assets held for trading)

All the values are in the carrying amount column (0010).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_01.01: Derivatives – Hedge accounting + F_01.01: Trading financial assets, derivatives + F_01.01: Financial assets held for trading, derivatives = F_20.04: Derivatives, Gross carrying amount (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 01.01 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.
