The rule in plain words

For performing: non-financial corporations must equal small and medium-sized Enterprises plus non-financial corporations - other than SMEs.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.A: Non-financial corporations, Performing = F_18.00.A: Of which: Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Performing + F_23.02: of which: Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, Performing

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 18.00 and F 23.02 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
Small and medium-sized Enterprises, performing1,200
Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, performing800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Non-financial corporations, performing 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.
