2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Past due > 90 days must equal the sum of its six parts (F 23.04, EBA rule v7994_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 23.04, loans and advances: additional information on accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Past due > 90 days must equal these six added up:

  • Past due > 90 days <= 180 days
  • Past due > 180 days <= 1 year
  • Past due > 1 years <= 2 years
  • Past due > 2 years <= 5 years
  • Past due > 5 years <= 7 years
  • Past due > 7 years

EBA checks it for 20 rows, from loans and advances (0010) to commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to NFCs other than SMEs (0200). That makes 20 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: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 90 days = of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 90 days <= 180 days + of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 180 days <= 1 year + of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 1 years <= 2 years + of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 2 years <= 5 years + of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 5 years <= 7 years + of which: Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans to SMEs, Past due > 7 years

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 F 23.04 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
Past due > 90 days <= 180 days1,200
Past due > 180 days <= 1 year800
Past due > 1 years <= 2 years450
Past due > 2 years <= 5 years300
Past due > 5 years <= 7 years150
Past due > 7 years100
Together3,000
What the rule then expects

Past due > 90 days must then be 3,000.

3,000Passes
3,100Fails

A file that reports 3,000 passes. One that reports 3,100 fails, by 100.

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