Covered bonds must equal total exposures (EBA rule v5793_q)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 07.00.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements and C 09.01.a, geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA exposures).

Line4 Check does not run this rule yet: its EBA formula needs parts of the XBRL formula language the engine does not cover. Your authority’s own validation still runs it.

The rule in plain words

Covered bonds must equal total exposures.

All the values are in the original exposure pre conversion factors column (0010).
