Line4

1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Total must equal the sum of its seven parts (C 16.03, EBA rule v90303_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 16.03, operational risk breakdown - losses, expenses, provisions and other financial impacts resulting from operational risk events (opr bd).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total must equal these seven added up:

  • (provisions or (-) reversal of provisions )
  • Interest expenses
  • Depreciation
  • Other operating expenses
  • Administrative expenses
  • Other
  • (impairment or (-) reversal of impairment)

EBA checks it for three columns: year-3, year-2 and last year. That makes three 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.

YEAR-2: (Total) = (Provisions or (-) reversal of provisions ) + (Interest expenses ) + (Depreciation) + (Other Operating Expenses) + (Administrative expenses) + (Other ) + (Impairment or (-) reversal of impairment)

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C 16.03 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.

The cells it reads

Operational risk breakdown - losses, expenses, provisions and other financial impacts resulting from operational risk events (opr bd) (C 16.03)

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
(provisions or (-) reversal of provisions )1,200
(interest expenses )800
(Depreciation)450
(other operating expenses)300
(administrative expenses)150
(other )100
(impairment or (-) reversal of impairment)60
Together3,060
What the rule then expects

(total) must then be 3,060.

3,060Passes
3,160Fails

A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 3,160 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Show the rule as writtenShow

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{C_16.03,r0080,c0020,} = sum({C_16.03,r0050,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0010,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0040,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0020,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0030,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0070,c0020,},{C_16.03,r0060,c0020,})

The next two:

{C_16.03,r0080,c0010,} = sum({C_16.03,r0070,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0050,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0060,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0010,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0040,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0020,c0010,},{C_16.03,r0030,c0010,}){C_16.03,r0080,c0030,} = sum({C_16.03,r0010,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0030,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0040,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0050,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0060,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0070,c0030,},{C_16.03,r0020,c0030,})

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