Balance sheet and liabilities by currency: values must agree (S.02.01, S.02.02, EIOPA rule BV191)

A blocking check on the balance sheet (S.02.01) and liabilities by currency (S.02.02) templates, in the annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual branch (ARB) returns.

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 value for "Total value of all currencies" reported in Liabilities by currency (S.02.02) must be equal to the sum of "Value of the solvency II reporting currency", "Value of remaining other currencies" and "Value of material currencies" for all currencies reported

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.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.02.02 as reported.

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

{t: S.02.02.01.01, c: C0020, z: Z0001} = {t: S.02.02.01.01, c: C0030, z: Z0001} + {t: S.02.02.01.01, c: C0040, z: Z0001} + sum({t: S.02.02.01.02, 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.
