GAR - covered assets in both numerator and denominator: a calculation check across mitigating actions and GAR (%) (stock) (D 07.00.a, D 08.00.a, EBA rule v89392_m)

A warning in the environmental, social and governance risks return (ESG), on templates D 07.00.a, mitigating actions: assets for the calculation of GAR (I) and D 08.00.a, gAR (%) (stock) (I).

The rule in plain words

For GAR - covered assets in both numerator and denominator: total GAR assets, towards taxonomy relevant sectors (taxonomy-eligible) must equal GAR, proportion of eligible assets funding taxonomy relevant sectors times total assets in the denominator (GAR), total gross carrying amount.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

D_07.00.A: TOTAL GAR ASSETS, Of which towards taxonomy relevant sectors (Taxonomy-eligible) = D_08.00.A: GAR, Proportion of eligible assets funding taxonomy relevant sectors × D_07.00.A: TOTAL ASSETS IN THE DENOMINATOR (GAR), Total gross carrying amount

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark D 07.00 and D 08.00 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
