The rule in plain words
None of the values it checks in other non-financial (not included in other tabs can be negative.
EBA checks it for two columns: outstanding amount and amount qualifying as Owns funds. That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.
Outstanding Amount: Outstanding Amount >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark Z 17.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
Other non-financial (not included in other tabs, excluding intragroup) (Z 17.00)
Columns
- 0090Outstanding Amount
- 0140Amount Qualifying as Owns Funds
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Outstanding amount must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.
{Z_17.00,,c0090,} >= 0The next one:
{Z_17.00,,c0140,} >= 0Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
