The rule in plain words
For specific risk: own funds requirements cannot be negative.
The value is on the total sheet (0001) of C 18.00.
EBA checks it for two rows: own funds requirement for securitisation instruments and own funds requirement for the correlation trading portfolio. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Own funds requirements: Own funds requirement for securitisation instruments, Total >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 18.00 as reported.
- 05This 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.
Own funds requirement for securitisation instruments, own funds requirements must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
