Derivatives, hedge accounting must equal the sum of its six parts (EBA rule v903604_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 11.02, derivatives - hedge accounting under national GAAP: Breakdown by type of risk.

Check your file against this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Derivatives - hedge accounting must equal these six added up:

  • Credit
  • Equity
  • Foreign exchange
  • Interest rate
  • Commodity
  • Other

EBA checks it for ten columns, from assets (0005) to negative value (0040). That makes ten 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.

of which: liabilities carried at amortised cost / LOCOM: Derivatives - Hedge Accounting = Credit + Equity + Foreign exchange + Interest rate + Commodity + Other

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 F 11.02 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.

What the rule then expects

Derivatives - hedge accounting must then be 3,000.

3,000Passes
3,100Fails

A file that reports 3,000 passes. One that reports 3,100 fails, by 100.

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

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_11.02,r0230,c0008,} = {F_11.02,r0160,c0008,} + {F_11.02,r0060,c0008,} + {F_11.02,r0110,c0008,} + {F_11.02,r0010,c0008,} + {F_11.02,r0210,c0008,} + {F_11.02,r0220,c0008,}
