The item "Equities" reported in Balance sheet must be equal to the sum of "Equities - listed" and "Equities - unlisted" (S.02.01, EIOPA rule BV560_1)

The rule in plain words

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV560_1-1 and BV560_1-3), 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. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
4. 04EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.02.01 as reported.
6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual branch (ARB) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual branch (ARB) returns, as a blocking check.
