The rule in plain words
The "Tier 1 - unrestricted" value of "Available and eligible own funds/Total available own funds to meet the SCR" reported in the template Own funds (S.23.01) must be equal to the same item "Total eligible own funds to meet the SCR"
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.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.23.01 as reported.
- 04This 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)
Rows
- R0520Total available own funds to meet the consolidated part of the group SCR (excluding own funds from other financial sectors and own funds from undertakings included via D&A method)
- R0560Total eligible own funds to meet the consolidated part of the group SCR (excluding own funds from other financial sectors and own funds from undertakings included via D&A method)
Column
- C0020Tier 1 - unrestricted
A worked example
With simple numbers.
Total eligible own funds to meet the consolidated part of the group SCR (excluding own funds from other financial sectors and own funds from undertakings included via D&A method) must then be 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
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.
