1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Commitments and guarantees given, carrying amount must equal the sum of its three parts (EBA rule v7319_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 01.02, balance sheet statement: liabilities and F 09.01, off-balance sheet exposures under national GAAP: loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given.

The rule in plain words

Commitments and guarantees given, carrying amount must equal these three added up:

  • Other commitments given, provisions
  • Financial guarantees given, provisions
  • Loan commitments given, provisions
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_01.02: Commitments and guarantees given = F_09.01: Other Commitments given, Provisions + F_09.01: Financial guarantees given, Provisions + F_09.01: Loan commitments given, Provisions

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 01.02 and F 09.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Other commitments given, provisions1,200
Financial guarantees given, provisions800
Loan commitments given, provisions450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Commitments and guarantees given, carrying amount must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

{F_01.02,r0220,c0010,} = sum({F_09.01,r0170,c0020,},{F_09.01,r0090,c0020,},{F_09.01,r0010,c0020,})

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
