How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
F_24.02: Closing balance, of which: Non-financial corporations = F_23.04: of which: Non-financial corporations - SMEs, Non Performing + F_23.04: of which: Non-financial corporations - other than SMEs, Non Performing
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
- 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 24.02 and F 23.04 as reported.
- 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.
Closing balance, non-financial corporations must then be 2,000.
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.
