but the BSI data have not been reported correctly; third, where methodological
differences in the requirements of the two datasets justify the discrepancy.

Internal plausibility checks
Internal plausibility checks are self-contained within the AnaCredit data set, i.e.

External plausibility checks
External plausibility checks assess the consistency of data reported under AnaCredit
with other datasets.

AnaCredit external plausibility checks
The following subsections contain the details of the AnaCredit external plausibility
checks.
- List of external plausibility checks performed under AnaCredit
Table 1 shows the external plausibility checks under AnaCredit.

If any of the input data necessary for this calculation are missing or inconsistent, the

FINREP templates and compared with suitably computed AnaCredit equivalents for
banks reporting the supervisory financial information under Regulation ECB/2015/13
(FINREP solo).

Figure 3
Calculation flow ? schematic overview of the comparison with FINREP solo
By stacking the FINREP solo benchmark side-by-side with its AnaCredit equivalent,
the deviation between the values can be quantified.

3.2.2.1
FINREP solo benchmark value
As mentioned, comparing AnaCredit with supervisory financial information helps
ensure accounting information on loan portfolios that must be reported to AnaCredit
is reported properly.

- The composition of FINREP solo reporters thus defined serves as a basis for
determining (i) which AnaCredit observed agents correspond to which FINREP solo
reporters, and (ii) the extent to which the perimeter of a FINREP solo reporter can be
reconstructed from AnaCredit (given that some observed agents may have been
