EBA updates validation rules for supervisory reporting

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published an updated list of validation rules in its reporting frameworks as part of its quarterly review. The update includes rules that have been deactivated due to inaccuracies or IT issues, reactivated, or had changes in severity.

Competent authorities across the EU are reminded that data submitted according to the Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) and Guidelines should not be validated against rules that have been deactivated.

The EBA has also released a small validation rules package, which includes:

• A micro taxonomy package;
• Data Point Model (DPM) validation rules update scripts.

These components are mandatory from release 4.0 onwards for each validation update, ensuring amendments are reflected in both the taxonomy and DPM.

With the introduction of DPM 2.0 from release 4.0, validation rules are embedded directly into both the taxonomy and DPM. This integration improves consistency, traceability, and efficiency in supervisory reporting processes.
