The rule in plain words
Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures cannot be more than zero.
EBA checks it for 14 rows, from debt securities (0050) to non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss (0180). That makes 14 checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures: Debt securities <= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 04.02.1 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Debt securities, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures can then be at most 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports 100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
