Capital adequacy - capital ratios and capital levels for SDDTs (CA3 SDDT): values must agree (SC03.00.01.01, SC01.00.01.01, SC02.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0027_ss)

A blocking check on the capital adequacy - capital ratios and capital levels for SDDTs (CA3 SDDT) (SC03.00.01.01), own funds for SDDTs (CA1 SDDT) (SC01.00.01.01) and own funds requirements for SDDTs (CA2 SDDT) (SC02.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

To calculate Surplus(+)/Deficit(-) of total capital in table SC03.00, the parameters shall be c0010 or c0030, when c0030 is greater than c0010

In Capital adequacy - capital ratios and capital levels for SDDTs (CA3 SDDT) (SC03.00.01.01): "Surplus(+)/Deficit(-) of total capital" in column "Amount" (row 0060, column 0010) must equal "Own funds" in column "Amount" (row 0010, column 0010) in Own funds for SDDTs (CA1 SDDT) (SC01.00.01.01) minus "Total risk exposure amount" in column "All approaches" (row 0010, column 0010) in Own funds requirements for SDDTs (CA2 SDDT) (SC02.00.01.01) multiplied by 0.08.

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark SC01.00.01, SC02.00.01 and SC03.00.01 as reported.

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: SC03.00.01.01, r: 0060, c: 0010} = {t: SC01.00.01.01, r: 0010, c: 0010} - ({t: SC02.00.01.01, r: 0010, c: 0010} * 0.08)
