The absolute value of risk-weighted exposure amount cannot be less than the absolute value of synthetic securitisations (EBA rule v7431_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

The absolute value of risk-weighted exposure amount cannot be less than the absolute value of synthetic securitisations.

EBA checks it for 52 rows, from total exposures (0010) to re-securitisations (0430). That makes 52 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.

the absolute value of EXPOSURES IN NON-NPE SECURITISATIONS, RISK-WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT >= the absolute value of EXPOSURES IN NON-NPE SECURITISATIONS, OF WHICH: SYNTHETIC SECURITISATIONS

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 13.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
