CVA Capital Requirements must be populated. Only positive values or zero are allowed (OF25.01.01.03, Bank of England check boe_b0201_7)

A warning 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

CVA Capital Requirements must be populated. Only positive values or zero are allowed

In each of "CVA capital requirements" (column 0030) and "CVA capital requirements of which: SFTs only" (column 0040) 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 be reported, and every value in "All exposures subject to CVA capital requirements" (row 0010) must be zero or more.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.03 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

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.
