2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Internal assessment approach must equal the sum of its five parts (EBA rule v7429_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

Internal assessment approach must equal these five added up:

  • <=20% RW
  • >20% to 50% RW
  • >50% to 100% RW
  • >100% to 1250% RW
  • 1250% RW

EBA checks it for 59 rows, from total exposures (0010) to re-securitisations (0430). That makes 59 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.

OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, INTERNAL ASSESSMENT APPROACH = OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, <=20% RW + OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, >20% TO 50% RW + OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, >50% TO 100% RW + OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, >100% TO 1250% RW + OF WHICH: SENIOR EXPOSURES, 1250% RW

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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.

What the rule then expects

Internal assessment approach must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 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,r0300,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0300,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0300,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0300,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0300,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0300,c0690,}

The next five:

{C_13.01,r0135,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0135,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0135,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0135,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0135,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0135,c0690,}{C_13.01,r0376,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0376,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0376,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0376,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0376,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0376,c0690,}{C_13.01,r0100,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0100,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0100,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0100,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0100,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0100,c0690,}{C_13.01,r0371,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0371,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0371,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0371,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0371,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0371,c0690,}{C_13.01,r0374,c0640,} = {C_13.01,r0374,c0650,} + {C_13.01,r0374,c0660,} + {C_13.01,r0374,c0670,} + {C_13.01,r0374,c0680,} + {C_13.01,r0374,c0690,}
