EIOPA – life and non-life insurance companies, institutions for occupational retirement provision: workbooks do not contain EIOPA’s validation rules
- The workbooks of Solvency II and Pension Fund modules do not contain EIOPA’s validation rules related to the content of the report.
- It is not technically possible to implement all the checks in the Reporting Application. Particularly in EIOPA’s data collections, there have been differences between the validation feedback of the Reporting Application’s workbooks and the automatic feedback of FIN-FSA’s reporting environment. This has resulted in additional clarification work for reporters and FIN-FSA.
- The workbooks contain validation checks on the accuracy of the report file. The validation checks are performed on the General Information sheet, reported templates, key fields, option list values, mandatory reported cells, and identifier checks (e.g. LEI code, ISIN code). In addition, the workbooks contain formula cells based on EIOPA’s validation rules.
- Reporters may submit their reports to FIN-FSA’s testing environment for validation before submitting the official report to FIN-FSA, see below for further information.

- Solo- and group-level quarterly and annual modules (incl. Financial Stability modules) as well as the Technical Entry Point (TEP) reporting module, which are intended for reporting in special cases, are downloadable.
- The Reporting Application does not support Public Disclosure modules (APS and APG) included in taxonomy 2.4.0, which are intended to facilitate the production of data for disclosure on company websites (SFCR quantitative tables).

EBA, EIOPA, ESMA – use of testing environment recommended
It is not technically possible to implement all the checks into the Reporting Application. Reporters may submit their reports to FIN-FSA’s testing environment for validation before submitting the official report to FIN-FSA. The reporter’s testing environment is similar to FIN-FSA's production environment except that in the testing environment, acceptance testing is done before the changes are implemented into the production environment. For this reason, the feedback message received from the testing environment may not be identical with the feedback message received from the production environment. The email address of the testing environment is TK_rahoitus(at)bof.fi. We hope that reporters will make extensive use of the testing environment.
FIN-FSA welcomes feedback relating to FIN-FSA’s Reporting Application as well as feedback and development wishes relating to the reporters’ testing environment.
