1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Inflows of collateral during the period must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v8073_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 25.01.a, collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as property Plant and equipment (PP&E): inflows and outflows (I).

The rule in plain words

Inflows of collateral during the period must equal inflow due to new collateral obtained by taking possession plus inflow due to positive changes in value.

All the values are in the carrying amount column (0040) of F 25.01.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Carrying amount: Inflows of collateral during the period = Inflow due to new collateral obtained by taking possession + Inflow due to positive changes in value

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 25.01 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Inflow due to new collateral obtained by taking possession1,200
Inflow due to positive changes in value800

What the rule then expects

Inflows of collateral during the period must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
