Projection of future gross cash flows: future guaranteed and discretionary benefits should be reported as positive value (S.13.01, EIOPA rule BV2538)

A warning on the projection of future gross cash flows template (S.13.01), in the annual solo (ARS) and annual branch (ARB) returns.

It is new in taxonomy 2.10.0, for returns from the first quarter of 2027. 2.8.2 returns do not have it.

The rule in plain words

Future guaranteed and discretionary benefits should be reported as positive value

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.13.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
