Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3): central banks: > 30 days ≤ 90 days plus ≤ 30 days plus > 90 days cannot be more than the sum of four cells (EBA rule v5413_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 04.03.1, breakdown of financial assets by instrument and by counterparty sector: financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, F 04.04.1, breakdown of financial assets by instrument and by counterparty sector: financial assets at amortised cost and F 07.01, financial assets subject to impairment that are past due.

The rule in plain words

For central banks: add up these three:

  • > 30 days ≤ 90 days
  • ≤ 30 days
  • > 90 days

The result cannot be more than these four added up:

  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) in F 04.03.1, gross carrying amount
  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) in F 04.03.1, accumulated impairment
  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) in F 04.04.1, gross carrying amount
  • Credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) in F 04.04.1, accumulated impairment

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

F_07.01: Central banks, > 30 days ≤ 90 days + F_07.01: Central banks, ≤ 30 days + F_07.01: Central banks, > 90 days <= F_04.03.1: Central banks, Gross carrying amount, credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) + F_04.03.1: Central banks, Accumulated impairment, credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) + F_04.04.1: Central banks, Gross carrying amount, credit-impaired assets (Stage 3) + F_04.04.1: Central banks, Accumulated impairment, credit-impaired assets (Stage 3)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 07.01 and F 04.03.1 or F 04.04.1 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.
