Risk weighted exposure amounts must equal the sum of its two parts (C 34.02.b, EBA rule v90327_m)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 34.02.b, cCR exposures by approach (CCR 2).

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Risk weighted exposure amounts must equal positions treated with the CR standardised approach plus positions treated with the CR IRB approach.

EBA checks it for eight rows: IMM (for derivatives and SFTS), securities financing transactions netting sets, derivatives and long settlement transactions netting sets, from contractual cross-product netting sets, financial collateral simple method (for SFTS), financial collateral comprehensive method (for SFTS), VAR for SFTS, and total. And on two sheets: all CCR exposures and all CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs). That makes 16 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.

VAR for SFTS, Risk weighted exposure amounts, All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs) = VAR for SFTS, Positions treated with the CR standardised approach, All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs) + VAR for SFTS, Positions treated with the CR IRB approach, All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs)

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 34.02 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.

What the rule then expects

Risk weighted exposure amounts 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.

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_34.02.b,r0100,c0200,s0002} = {C_34.02.b,r0100,c0210,s0002} + {C_34.02.b,r0100,c0220,s0002}

The next five:

{C_34.02.b,r0080,c0200,s0002} = {C_34.02.b,r0080,c0210,s0002} + {C_34.02.b,r0080,c0220,s0002}{C_34.02.b,r0090,c0200,s0001} = {C_34.02.b,r0090,c0210,s0001} + {C_34.02.b,r0090,c0220,s0001}{C_34.02.b,r0040,c0200,s0002} = {C_34.02.b,r0040,c0210,s0002} + {C_34.02.b,r0040,c0220,s0002}{C_34.02.b,r0110,c0200,s0001} = {C_34.02.b,r0110,c0210,s0001} + {C_34.02.b,r0110,c0220,s0001}{C_34.02.b,r0070,c0200,s0002} = {C_34.02.b,r0070,c0210,s0002} + {C_34.02.b,r0070,c0220,s0002}

And 10 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.
