2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Sponsor: total exposures must equal the sum of its three parts (EBA rule v7332_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 13.01, (CR sec) credit risk: securitisations.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Sponsor: total exposures must equal these three added up:

  • Securitisations: on-balance sheet items
  • Securitisations: off-balance sheet items and derivatives
  • Re-securitisations

EBA checks it for 93 columns, from original exposure pre conversion factors (0050) to specific treatment of senior tranches in qualifying NPE securitisations (0960). That makes 93 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.

SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR SENIOR TRANCHES OF QUALIFYING NPE SECURITISATIONS: SPONSOR: TOTAL EXPOSURES = SECURITISATIONS: ON-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS + SECURITISATIONS: OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS AND DERIVATIVES + RE-SECURITISATIONS

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C 13.01 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
Securitisations: on-balance sheet items1,200
Securitisations: off-balance sheet items and derivatives800
Re-securitisations450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Sponsor: total exposures 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.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{C_13.01,r0320,c0695,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0695,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0695,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0695,}

The next five:

{C_13.01,r0320,c0650,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0650,}{C_13.01,r0320,c0960,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0960,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0960,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0960,}{C_13.01,r0320,c0400,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0400,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0400,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0400,}{C_13.01,r0320,c0120,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0120,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0120,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0120,}{C_13.01,r0320,c0220,} = {C_13.01,r0330,c0220,} + {C_13.01,r0380,c0220,} + {C_13.01,r0430,c0220,}

And 87 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

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