Non-financial corporations, unlikely to pay that are not past-due or past-due <= 90 days must equal the sum of its two parts (F 18.00.b, EBA rule v89878_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on templates F 18.00.b, information on performing and non-performing exposures (II) and F 23.04, loans and advances: additional information on accumulated impairments and accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Non-financial corporations, unlikely to pay that are not past-due or past-due <= 90 days must equal non-financial corporations - SMEs, unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days plus non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_18.00.B: Non-financial corporations, Unlikely to pay that are not past-due or past-due <= 90 days = F_23.04: of which: Non-financial corporations - SMEs, Unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days + F_23.04: of which: Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, Unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 23.04 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
Non-financial corporations - SMEs, unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days1,200
Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, unlikely to pay that are not past due or past due <= 90 days800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Non-financial corporations, unlikely to pay that are not past-due or past-due <= 90 days 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.

{F_18.00.b,r0120,c0160,} = {F_23.04,r0110,c0080,} + {F_23.04,r0130,c0080,}

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
