1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A balancing check on operational risk (C 16.02, row 0110, EBA rule v903112_m)

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

The rule in plain words

Asset component, average value must equal these three worked out, all for 0.333333 times total assets:

  • Accounting value, year-2
  • Accounting value, year-3
  • Accounting value, last year

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Asset component, Average Value = 0.333333 × Total assets, YEAR-2, accounting Value + 0.333333 × Total assets, YEAR-3, accounting Value + 0.333333 × Total assets, LAST YEAR, accounting Value

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Work out both sides from your file, as the rule in plain words sets out, and compare them.
  3. 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 16.02 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.
