Maximum amount of the collateral or guarantee that can be considered must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v8336_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 23.05, loans and advances: collateral received and financial guarantees received.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Maximum amount of the collateral or guarantee that can be considered must equal non Performing plus performing.

EBA checks it for 23 rows, from financial guarantees received on loans and advances (0010) to immovable property collateral (0230). That makes 23 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: Non-financial corporations - SMEs, Maximum amount of the collateral or guarantee that can be considered = of which: Non-financial corporations - SMEs, Non Performing + of which: Non-financial corporations - SMEs, Performing

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 23.05 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.

What the rule then expects

Maximum amount of the collateral or guarantee that can be considered 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.

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_23.05,r0040,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0040,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0040,c0030,}

The next five:

{F_23.05,r0010,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0010,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0010,c0030,}{F_23.05,r0180,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0180,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0180,c0030,}{F_23.05,r0020,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0020,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0020,c0030,}{F_23.05,r0160,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0160,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0160,c0030,}{F_23.05,r0210,c0010,} = {F_23.05,r0210,c0060,} + {F_23.05,r0210,c0030,}
