1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 13 September 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

The absolute value of equities cannot be more than the absolute value of equities, general risk plus the absolute value of equities, specific risk (EBA rule v903649_h)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 24.00, market risk: internal models - total.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 13 September 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

The absolute value of equities cannot be more than the absolute value of equities - general risk plus the absolute value of equities - specific risk.

All the values are in the multiplication factor (mc) x average of previous 60 working days (VaRavg) column (0030) of C 24.00.

EBA writes it out five 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}.

abs({C_24.00,r0050,c0030,}) <= abs({C_24.00,r0060,c0030,}) + abs({C_24.00,r0070,c0030,})

And 4 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.
