Premiums, claims and expenses by country: values must agree (S.05.02, EIOPA rule BV227-1)

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.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.05.02 as reported.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

EIOPA’s own words and formula

In EIOPA’s list of validations, word for word:

The item "Premiums earned - Net" reported in S.05.02 - Premiums, claims and expenses by country should be equal to the sum of "Premiums Earned - Direct business" with "Premiums Earned - proportional reinsurance accepted" and "Premiums Earned - non-proportional reinsurance accepted" minus "Premiums Earned - Reinsurers' share".
