Other intangible assets must equal software assets (EBA rule v903203_h)

A warning in the financial reporting, solo data points return (FINREP data points), on templates F 01.01.DP, balance sheet statement: assets DP and F 42.00, tangible and intangible assets: carrying amount by measurement method.

The rule in plain words

Other intangible assets must equal software assets.

All the values are in the carrying amount column (0010).

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

F_01.01.DP: Other intangible assets = F_42.00: Of which: software assets, Carrying amount

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  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 F 01.01.dp and F 42.00 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

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Other intangible assets1,200
What the rule then expects

Software assets must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

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