1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Financial component, value must equal the sum of its two parts (EBA rule v90320_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 16.01.a, operational risk - own funds requirements (opr of) and C 16.02, operational risk - business indicator component (opr BIC).

The rule in plain words

Financial component, value must equal trading book component, average value plus banking book component, average value.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

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

C_16.01.A: Financial component, Value = C_16.02: Trading book component, Average Value + C_16.02: Banking book component, Average Value

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the templates 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 16.01 and C 16.02 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.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Trading book component, average value1,200
Banking book component, average value800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Financial component, value must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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