The calculation of SCR Equity (Delegated Regulation art. 168) reported in Solvency Capital Requirement - Market risk might not be correct (S.01.01, S.26.01, EIOPA rule BV904_1)

The rule in plain words

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs three of them (BV904_1-2 to BV904_1-5), 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. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
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.01.01 and S.26.01 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.

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 branch (ARB), annual group (ARG) and annual solo (ARS) returns, as a warning.
