Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT): a value must not be more than another (SC07.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0061_ss)

A blocking check on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) template (SC07.00.01.01), 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.

Check your file for this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total outflows of CRM techniques with substitution effects on the exposure (i.e. reduction in exposure) in absolute terms should be less than or equal to the exposure that could be reduced via the outflows (i.e. can't reduce exposure by more than the exposure value)

In each of 25 rows (listed below) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01): the size of "(-) Total Outflows" (column 0090) (ignoring its sign) must not be more than "Exposure net of value adjustments, provisions, and on-balance sheet netting" (column 0040).

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.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark SC07.00.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
