A lower-limit check on CCR exposures by approach (CCR 2) (C 34.02.a, EBA rule v903599_h)

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

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

The absolute value of risk weighted exposure amounts cannot be less than the absolute value of positions treated with the CR standardised approach plus the absolute value of positions treated with the CR IRB approach.

EBA checks it for three rows, all for (for derivatives): original exposure method, simplified SA-CCR and SA-CCR. And on two sheets: all CCR exposures and all CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs). That makes six checks. A failure names the one that failed.

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

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.

the absolute value of Simplified SA-CCR (for derivatives), Risk weighted exposure amounts, All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs) >= the absolute value of Simplified SA-CCR (for derivatives), Positions treated with the CR standardised approach, All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs) + the absolute value of Simplified SA-CCR (for derivatives), 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. 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 34.02 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.

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