The facts
- Who files
- Optional. Institutions subject to FINREP under Article 430(3), (4) and (9) CRR may choose it (Opinion paragraph 16). They report to their competent authority and must notify it of the chosen option; competent authorities inform the EBA by end-2026 and keep sending the data to the EBA through EUCLID (paragraphs 20 and 21). Users of the option submit the IFRS18 module for these templates and the rest of FINREP in the 4.2 FINREP9 module, excluding the replaced templates; others keep submitting the full FINREP9 module (4.4 FAQ 5). Source
- How often
- Same frequencies as the templates they replace (Opinion paragraph 18, referring to Articles 2, 3, 11 and 12 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3117). Under Article 11 of the ITS on supervisory reporting: F 02 and F 16 templates (within F 01.01 to F 19.00) quarterly; F 20 templates quarterly where the institution exceeds the threshold in Article 5(2); F 45 templates (within F 40.01 to F 46.00) annual. Source
- Deadline
- Same remittance dates as FINREP (Opinion paragraph 18): Article 3(1) of the ITS on supervisory reporting, by close of business, quarterly reports by 12 May, 11 August, 11 November and 11 February; annual by 11 February; next working day if the date is a holiday or weekend. Source
- Format
- xBRL-CSV. First reference dates fall after 31 March 2026, from when the EBA takes reports only in xBRL-CSV; the EBA's sample files for the release are xBRL-CSV packages. Source
- How it is filed
- Filing routes recorded for the EBA: EUCLID (European Centralised Infrastructure of Data); Pillar 3 data hub (P3DH) submissions. See how firms file with the EBA.
- Status
- UpcomingNew in release 4.4 phase 1, applicable from reference date 03/2027. It is a temporary module: once the ITS amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3117 apply (expected end-September 2027), the IFRS 18 templates move into release 4.4 phase 2 (into FINREP9, per the release notes) and the separate IFRS18 module ceases to apply (Opinion paragraph 13). The release notes expect this from reference date 09/2027 or 12/2027. Source
- Legal basis
- Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3117 (ITS on supervisory reporting), Articles 2, 3, 11 and 12, as named in the EBA Opinion; EBA-hosted adopted text C(2024) 8389
- EBA Opinion on the profit or loss reporting for the period between the date of application of IFRS 18 and the amended Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3117 (EBA/Op/2026/07), issued under Article 29(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010

Validation rules
121 rules, as counted from the EBA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: Excel list with one row per rule and module version: an expression column in the EBA's DPM-XL syntax, severity (error or warning), active status and reference-date range. The same rules ship as XBRL Formula assertions in the taxonomy package..
EBA's list applies the active IFRS18_4.4 rules to reference dates from 2027-03-31 with no end date set.
How they were counted
Distinct rule codes listed for module IFRS18_4.4 in EBA's validation rules list VR_4.4.phase1_.xlsx ((from 4.0) EBA_Validation rules, latest update 12/10/2026) with IsActive = Active: 121 of 121 listed. 0 of the active rules have severity error; the rest are warnings.
Counts are in the EBA's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
No published data from this return was found. No publication of this return's data found on the EBA's risk analysis and data pages (checked 2026-11-11). Source
