1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 10 June 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Corporates must equal SME plus large corporates (EBA rule v903627_h)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 09.02, geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (IRB exposures).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 10 June 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Corporates must equal SME plus large corporates.

All the values are in the write-offs column (0060) of C 09.02.

EBA writes it out 14 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

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

{C_09.02,r0030,c0060,} = {C_09.02,r0050,c0060,} + {C_09.02,r0051,c0060,}

And 13 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

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