1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 17 March 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Net income must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v90304_m)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 16.02, operational risk - business indicator component (opr BIC).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Net income must equal interest income (including from leased assets (financial & operating)) plus (interest expenses (including from leased assets (financial&Operating))).

All the values are in the accounting value column (0010) of C 16.02.

EBA writes it out three times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

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

{C_16.02,r0020,c0010,} = {C_16.02,r0030,c0010,} + {C_16.02,r0070,c0010,}

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

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