The "Total" value reported in Own funds must be equal to the sum of "Tier 2" and "Tier 3" (S.23.01, EIOPA rule BV102)

A blocking check on the own funds template (S.23.01), in the quarterly group (QRG) return.

It applies to 2.8.2 returns too, the release for the 2026 returns, and Line4 Check runs it there as well.

The rule in plain words

The "Total" value reported in Own funds (S.23.01) must be equal to the sum of "Tier 2" and "Tier 3"

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your return 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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. 04EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.23.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads

Own funds (S.23.01.05.01)

Row

  • R0380Non available ancillary own funds to be deducted at group level

Columns

  • C0010Total
  • C0040Tier 2
  • C0050Tier 3

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Tier 21,200
Tier 3800

What the rule then expects

Total must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

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

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on quarterly group (QRG) return on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to quarterly group (QRG) returns, as a blocking check.

EIOPA's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: S.23.01.05.01, c: C0010, z: Z0001} = {t: S.23.01.05.01, c: C0040, z: Z0001} + {t: S.23.01.05.01, c: C0050, z: Z0001}

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
