None of the eight values it checks in criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1 PAY).a can be negative (Z 07.01.3.a, row 0210, EBA rule v90259_s)

A warning in the resolution planning: critical functions and services return (RESOL2), on template Z 07.01.3.a, criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1 PAY).a.

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1 PAY).a can be negative.

EBA checks it for two columns: value of assets under custody (0060) and value of assets under custody (0090). And for four rows: custody services, other services / activities / functions (1), other services / activities / functions (2) and other services / activities / functions (3). That makes eight checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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.

Value of assets under custody: Custody services >= 0

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 with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark Z 07.01.3 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.

The cells it reads

Criticality assessment of economic functions (FUNC 1 PAY).a (Z 07.01.3.a)

Rows

  • 0210Custody services
  • 0220Other services / activities / functions (1)
  • 0230Other services / activities / functions (2)
  • 0240Other services / activities / functions (3)

Columns

  • 0060Value of assets under custody
  • 0090Value of assets under custody

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Custody services, value of assets under custody must then be at least 0.

0Passes
-100Fails

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_07.01.3.a,r0210,c0090,} >= 0

The next five:

{Z_07.01.3.a,r0220,c0060,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0230,c0090,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0210,c0060,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0230,c0060,} >= 0{Z_07.01.3.a,r0240,c0090,} >= 0

And 2 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Every RESOL2 rule, by template

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