Q&A 2026_7914: Direct/indirect method

The Neural Herald summary, AI-generated

Final EBA Q&A on FINREP reporting (template F 40.01 of the ITS on supervisory reporting, Implementing Regulation 2024/3117): the "accumulated equity interest %" and "voting rights %" refer to the relationship between the reporting institution and each investee. If parent P controls 80% of S1 and S1 controls 60% of S2, P reports towards S2 using the indirect method (48%).

It is about filling in the data correctly.
