Value at initial recognition, collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as property Plant and equipment (PP&E) must equal the sum of its three parts (EBA rule v8077_m)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 25.02.a, collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as property Plant and equipment (PP&E): type of collateral obtained (I).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

For value at initial recognition: collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as property Plant and equipment (PP&E) must equal these three added up:

  • <= 2 years
  • > 2 years <= 5 years
  • > 5 years

EBA checks it for eleven rows, from residential immovable property (0010) to total (0110). That makes eleven 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.

Movable property, Collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as Property Plant and Equipment (PP&E), value at initial recognition = Movable property, <= 2 years, value at initial recognition + Movable property, > 2 years <= 5 years, value at initial recognition + Movable property, > 5 years, value at initial recognition

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 25.02 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
Value at initial recognition, <= 2 years1,200
Value at initial recognition, > 2 years <= 5 years800
Value at initial recognition, > 5 years450
Together2,450
What the rule then expects

Value at initial recognition, collateral obtained by taking possession other than collateral classified as property Plant and equipment (PP&E) 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.

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_25.02.a,r0080,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0080,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0080,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0080,c0120,}

The next five:

{F_25.02.a,r0010,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0010,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0010,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0010,c0120,}{F_25.02.a,r0020,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0020,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0020,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0020,c0120,}{F_25.02.a,r0090,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0090,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0090,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0090,c0120,}{F_25.02.a,r0100,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0100,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0100,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0100,c0120,}{F_25.02.a,r0040,c0030,} = {F_25.02.a,r0040,c0060,} + {F_25.02.a,r0040,c0090,} + {F_25.02.a,r0040,c0120,}

And 5 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
