Reserve of assets must equal unadjusted reserve of assets plus adjustments (EBA rule v89184_m)

A warning in the asset-referenced and e-money tokens return (MiCA), on template Q 03.01, s_03.01: composition of the reserve of assets by type of assets and maturities.

The rule in plain words

Reserve of assets must equal unadjusted reserve of assets plus adjustments.

All the values are in the amount or market value column (0010) of Q 03.01.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

Reserve of assets = Unadjusted reserve of assets + Adjustments

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 Q 03.01 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.

Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Reserve of assets 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.
