The facts
- Who files
- Credit institutions that report own funds and own funds requirements on a consolidated or sub-consolidated basis; FC 140 only for groups with subsidiaries or branches abroad or with exposures or liabilities to non-residents of at least EUR 10 million (rule 68 of Circular 4/2017). Source
- How often
- Not stated as a frequency in the 2017 text of rule 68 read; the deadline rule refers to the first quarter, so the statements follow the quarterly consolidated reporting cycle. Source
- Deadline

- Format
- XBRL-XML. XBRL-XML file built on the Bank's own taxonomy, sent through the SIF system (web upload or signed and encrypted email to correo@procesos.bde.es) with a Banco de España electronic certificate; the file names the reporting module and lists the statements sent in a preamble (I.E. 2008.02). Taxonomy 'reserv_FC_2026-03' (consolidated confidential statements). Source

Where the list was read: Source
Validation rules
201 rules, as counted from the BdE's published material. They are written for people to read; software cannot run them as published. Source
How they are written: PDF report of cross-checks ('Informe de cuadres y relaciones' or 'Correlaciones y cuadres') giving each rule code, its number of evaluations, tolerance and formula.
Under I.E. 2008.02, statements that fail the validations are, as a general rule, rejected automatically and treated as not filed; part of the checks are also published in XBRL in the Bank's taxonomies.
How they were counted
Distinct rule codes listed in 'FC_Reservados_consolidados_Cuadres.pdf' (file dated 2026-10-07 by the server), each shown with its number of evaluations and its formula; 3 rule codes whose validity period ended before 11 November 2026 were left out (204 listed in all).
Counts are in the BdE's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
No published data from this return was found. No data from this return published by the Banco de España was found on the pages checked. Source
