The rule in plain words
Accumulated impairment and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures cannot be more than zero.
EBA checks it for five columns: parent and entities with joint control or significance influence, subsidiaries and other entities of the same group, associates and joint ventures, key management of the institution or its parent, and other related parties. That makes five 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.
Parent and entities with joint control or significance influence: Accumulated impairment and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures <= 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 31.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
Related parties: amounts payable to and amounts receivable from (F 31.01)
Row
- 0131Accumulated impairment and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures
Columns
- 0010Parent and entities with joint control or significance influence
- 0020Subsidiaries and other entities of the same group
- 0030Associates and joint ventures
- 0040Key management of the institution or its parent
- 0050Other related parties
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Accumulated impairment and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk on non-performing exposures, parent and entities with joint control or significance influence can then be at most 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports 100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
