1. This Regulation lays down requirements concerning reporting of supervisory financial information to be submitted to NCAs by:
significant supervised groups applying international accounting standards in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 for supervisory reporting pursuant to Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, including any sub-group thereof;
significant supervised groups, other than those referred to in point (a), which are subject to national accounting frameworks based on Directive 86/635/EEC, including any sub-group thereof;
significant supervised entities, including branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State;
significant supervised groups regarding subsidiaries established in a non-participating Member State or a third country;
less significant supervised groups applying international accounting standards in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 for supervisory reporting pursuant to Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, including any sub-group thereof;
less significant supervised groups, other than those referred to in point (e), which are subject to national accounting frameworks based on Directive 86/635/EEC, including any sub-group thereof;
less significant supervised entities, including branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State.
2. As an exception to Articles 7 and 14, supervised entities that have been given a waiver regarding the application of prudential requirements on an individual basis, in accordance with Article 7 or 10 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, shall not be required to report supervisory financial information in accordance with this Regulation.
3. Where competent authorities, including the ECB, require institutions to comply with the obligations laid down in Parts Two to Four and Parts Six to Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and in Title VII of Directive 2013/36/EU on a sub-consolidated basis in accordance with Article 11(5) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, those institutions shall comply with the requirements laid down in this Regulation on a sub-consolidated basis.
4. NCAs and/or national central banks may use the data collected pursuant to this Regulation for any other tasks.
5. This Regulation shall not affect the accounting standards applied by supervised groups and entities in their consolidated accounts or annual accounts, nor change the accounting standards applied for supervisory reporting. As supervised groups and entities apply different accounting standards, only information related to valuation rules, including methods for estimation of credit risk losses, which exist under the relevant accounting standards and are effectively applied by the corresponding supervised group or entity should be submitted. For these purposes, specific reporting templates are provided for supervised groups and entities applying national accounting frameworks based on Directive 86/635/EEC. Data points within the templates which are not applicable to the respective supervised entities do not have to be reported.
6. Branches established in a participating Member State by a credit institution established in a non-participating Member State may submit the information that they are required to provide under this Regulation to the relevant NCA through the credit institution by which they were established.
