Total CVA RWAs for SFTs represent the sum of RWAs for SFTs calculated under each CVA approach (OF25.01.01.03, Bank of England check boe_b0200)

A blocking check on the credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) template (OF25.01.01.03), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Total CVA RWAs for SFTs represent the sum of RWAs for SFTs calculated under each CVA approach

In column "CVA RWAs of which: Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs) only" (0020) of Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03): "All exposures subject to CVA capital requirements" (row 0010) must equal the sum of "of which, using the SA-CVA" (row 0020), "of which, using the full BA-CVA" (row 0030) and "of which, using the reduced BA-CVA" (row 0040).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.03 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

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

{t: OF25.01.01.03, r: 0010, c: 0020} = sum({t: OF25.01.01.03, r: 0020; 0030; 0040, c: 0020})
