PART I: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Structure and conventions
1.1 Structure
1. Overall, the framework consists of the following blocks of information:
(a) Own funds,
(b) Own funds requirements calculations,
(c) Fixed overheads requirements calculation (d) Level of activity in respect of the conditions set out in Article 12(1) IFR (e) Liquidity requirements
2. For each template, legal references are provided. Further detailed information regarding
more general aspects of the reporting of each block of templates, instructions concerning specific positions as well as validation rules are included in this part of this Implementing Regulation.
1.2 Numbering convention
3. The document follows the labelling convention set in points 4 to 7, when referring to the
columns, rows and cells of the templates. Those numerical codes are extensively used in the validation rules.
4. The following general notation is followed in the instructions: {Template; Row; Column}.
5. In the case of validations inside a template, in which only data points of that template are
used, notations do not refer to a template: {Row; Column}.
6. In the case of templates with only one column, only rows are referred to. {Template; Row}
7. An asterisk sign is used to express that the validation is done for the rows or columns
specified before.
1.3 Sign convention
8. Any amount that increases the own funds or own funds requirements, or the liquidity
requirements, shall be reported as a positive figure. On the contrary, any amount that reduces the total own funds or own funds requirements shall be reported as a negative
figure. Where there is a negative sign (-) preceding the label of an item no positive figure
is expected to be reported of that item.
1.4 Abbreviations
9. For the purposes of this Annex, Regulation (EU) 2019/2033 is referred to as ‘IFR’,
Directive (EU) 2019/2034 is referred to as ‘IFD’ and Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is referred to as ‘CRR’.
1.5 Prudential consolidation
10. Unless an exemption has been granted, IFR and IFD apply to investment firms on
an individual and on a consolidated basis, which includes reporting requirements in
Part Seven of IFR. Point (11) of Article 4(1) IFR defines a consolidated situation as
the result of applying the requirements of IFR to an investment firm group as if the entities of the group formed together a single investment firm.
11. The scope of consolidation of an investment firm group is described in more detail
in the RTS on prudential consolidation under Article 7(5) IFR. Investment firms groups shall use this prudential scope to fulfil the reporting requirements in all templates, and not the scope of accounting consolidation that may be different. The same RTS also describes the consolidation of own funds requirements used in template IF 02.03.
