Basic information and list of assets: a value must not be more than another (S.01.02, S.06.02, EIOPA rule BV707)

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.

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs three of them (BV707-2 to BV707-5), 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. 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. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.01.02 and S.06.02 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.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly group (QRG), quarterly branch (QRB), annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG), annual branch (ARB) and financial stability group (QFG) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to quarterly branch (QRB), annual branch (ARB), financial stability group (QFG), quarterly group (QRG), annual group (ARG), quarterly solo (QRS) and annual solo (ARS) returns, as a warning.

EIOPA’s own words and formula

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

The item "maturity date" in template S.06.02 - List of assets should be equal to or after the reporting reference date reported in S.01.02 - Basic information, except for specific cases such as assets in default.

Other rules on Basic information (S.01.02)

Every Solvency II rule on S.01.02

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
