Question

What does ‘where applicable’ mean in the title of data field B_02.01.0050?  What should be reported in this field in case the entity that is being reported in this template is not a financial entity (i.e., option 22, 23, or 24 was selected in field B_01.02.0040 for the entity type)?

Background

Field B_01.02.0050 is described as mandatory with no conditionality with the fill-in option provided in the ITS referring only to ‘financial entities’, but the name of the data field is “Hierarchy of the financial entity within the group (where applicable)”, which suggests optionality. The closed set of options refers only to financial entities, but there may be other entities reported in this template. However, since the field name includes “where applicable” it is unclear how non-financial entities should fill it in.

Answer

Field B_01.02.0050 is mandatory and should be filled in also when the entity being reported in this template is not a financial entity, following the fill in instructions and choosing one options from the drop-down menu. Therefore, the reference to ‘where applicable’ in the name of the data field should be disregarded, and the drop-down values provided should be applied to all types of entities. Where an entity fulfils more than one options from the closed list, the higher- level option applicable to the entity should be selected.
