Institutions shall disclose the difference in value between the leverage ratio exposure as disclosed in {LRSum;8} and total accounting assets as disclosed in {LRSum;1} that results from differences between the accounting scope of consolidation and the regulatory scope of consolidation.

If this adjustment leads to an increase in exposure, institutions shall disclose this as a positive amount. If this adjustment leads to a decrease in exposure, institutions shall disclose this as a negative amount.

Institutions shall disclose the amount of derecognised fiduciary items in accordance with Article 429(13) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

As this adjustment reduces the total leverage ratio total exposure measure, institutions shall place the value disclosed in this row between brackets (which signifies a negative amount).

{4}

Adjustment for derivative financial instruments

For credit derivatives and contracts listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, institutions shall disclose the difference in value between the accounting value of the derivatives recognised as assets and the leverage ratio exposure value as determined by application of Article 429(4)(b), Article 429(9) in conjunction with Article 429a, 429(11)(a) and (b) and 429(12) and of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
