GAR stock cannot be more than 1 (EBA rule v89297_m)

A warning in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on template D 06.00.b, summary of GAR KPIs (cov) (II).

The rule in plain words

GAR stock cannot be more than 1.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

GAR stock <= 1

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value outside the limit in these cells.
  3. 03If the value is a percentage, EBA expects it as a decimal: 12% is reported as 0.12.
  4. 04EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark D 06.00 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.
