Own funds: two values must match (S.23.01, EIOPA rule BV98)

A blocking check on the own funds template (S.23.01), in the quarterly group (QRG) 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 "Total available own funds to meet the consolidated group SCR (excluding own funds from other financial sector and from the undertakings included via D&A)" reported in Own funds (S.23.01) must be equal to the "Total basic own funds after deductions"

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. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.23.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Total basic own funds after deductions1,200
What the rule then expects

Total 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) must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.

EIOPA’s own words and formula

EIOPA's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: S.23.01.05.01, r: R0520, z: Z0001} = {t: S.23.01.05.01, r: R0290, z: Z0001}

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.
