1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Loans and advances must equal the sum of its seven parts (F 07.02, EBA rule v5380_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 07.02, financial assets subject to impairment that are past due under national GAAP.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Loans and advances must equal these seven added up:

  • Reverse repurchase loans
  • On demand [call] and short notice [current account]
  • Finance leases
  • Trade receivables
  • Credit card debt
  • Advances that are not loans
  • Other term loans

EBA checks it for six columns: ≤ 30 days (0010), > 30 days ≤ 90 days (0020), > 90 days (0030), ≤ 30 days (0040), > 30 days ≤ 90 days (0050) and > 90 days (0060). That makes six checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

> 30 days ≤ 90 days: Loans and advances = Reverse repurchase loans + On demand [call] and short notice [current account] + Finance leases + Trade receivables + Credit card debt + Advances that are not loans + Other term loans

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 07.02 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Reverse repurchase loans1,200
On demand [call] and short notice [current account]800
Finance leases450
Trade receivables300
Credit card debt150
Advances that are not loans100
Other term loans60
Together3,060
What the rule then expects

Loans and advances must then be 3,060.

3,060Passes
3,160Fails

A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 3,160 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Every FINREP 9 rule, by template

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
