​The EBA updates validation rules for supervisory reporting ​

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an updated list of validation rules defined in its reporting frameworks, as part of its regular quarterly review process. The revised package identifies rules that have (i) been deactivated due to inaccuracies or IT-related issues, (ii) been reactivated, or (iii) undergone a change in severity status.

Competent Authorities across the EU are reminded that data submitted in accordance with the ITS and Guidelines should not be formally validated against rules that have been deactivated.

In addition, the EBA has released a small validation rules package, which includes:

• a micro taxonomy package; and

• Data Point Model (DPM) validation rules update scripts.

These components are required from release 4.0 onwards for each validation rules update exercise and ensure amendments are consistently reflected in both the taxonomy and the DPM.

With the introduction of DPM 2.0 from release 4.0 onwards, validation rules are now embedded directly into both the taxonomy and DPM. This integration enhances consistency in implementation by reporting institutions, improves traceability of changes, and contributes to a more efficient and harmonised supervisory reporting process.
