Impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals and list of items on own funds: a value must not be more than another (S.22.01, S.23.04, EIOPA rule BV1031)

The rule in plain words

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV1031-1 and BV1031-2), and a failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your return fails it

1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
3. 03EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.22.01 and S.23.04 as reported.
5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS) and annual group (ARG) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to annual group (ARG), annual ECB solo (AES) and annual solo (ARS) returns, as a warning.

EIOPA’s own words and formula
