The rule in plain words

Financial guarantees received on loans and advances, exposures with forbearance measures must equal these three added up, all for loans and advances:

  • Financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment)
  • Financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment)
  • Financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments valued at cost or at amortised cost)
How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 23.05 and F 19.00 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
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments at strict LOCOM, or fair value through profit or loss or through equity not subject to impairment)1,200
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment)800
Loans and advances, financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures (under debt instruments valued at cost or at amortised cost)450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Financial guarantees received on loans and advances, exposures with forbearance measures 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.
