1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Carrying amount minus assets under LOCOM, carrying amount must equal a calculation over four columns (EBA rule v5431_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 04.10, breakdown of financial assets by instrument and by counterparty sector: other non-trading non-derivative financial assets.

The rule in plain words

Carrying amount minus assets under LOCOM, carrying amount must equal these four worked out:

  • Unimpaired assets
  • Minus assets under LOCOM, unimpaired assets
  • Impaired assets
  • Minus assets under LOCOM, impaired assets

EBA checks it for five rows: equity instruments, unquoted equity instruments, credit institutions, other financial corporations and non-financial corporations. That makes five 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.

of which: non-financial corporations, Carrying amount - of which: non-financial corporations, Carrying amount, of which: assets under LOCOM = of which: non-financial corporations, Unimpaired assets - of which: non-financial corporations, Unimpaired assets, of which: assets under LOCOM + of which: non-financial corporations, Impaired assets - of which: non-financial corporations, Impaired assets, of which: assets under LOCOM

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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 04.10 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.
