Premiums, claims and expenses by line of business: a value must not be more than another (S.05.01, EIOPA rule BV655)

A warning on the premiums, claims and expenses by line of business template (S.05.01), in the financial stability group (QFG) return.

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 item "Net written premiums" reported in Premiums, claims and expenses by line of business (S.05.01) should be less or equal to gross (direct + reinsurance accepted), non-life, by LOB

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

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.05.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

Premiums, claims and expenses by line of business: non-life (direct business/accepted proportional reinsurance and accepted non-proportional reinsurance) (S.05.01.13.01)
