Original exposure pre conversion factors cross-template consistency for s0004 Public sector entities (OF09.01.01.01, OF07.00.01.01, SC09.01.01.01 and others, Bank of England check boe_b0210)

A warning on the geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor: SA exposures (OF CR GB 1) (OF09.01.01.01), credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01), geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA EXPOSURES) (CR GB 1) (SC09.01.01.01) and credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all six test files of those returns.

The rule in plain words

ORIGINAL EXPOSURE PRE CONVERSION FACTORS cross-template consistency for s0004 Public sector entities

In Geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor: SA exposures (OF CR GB 1) (OF09.01.01.01): "Public sector entities" in column "Original exposure pre conversion factors" (row 0030, column 0010) (where country where the exposure is generated is "All countries") must equal "Total exposures" in column "Original exposure pre conversion factors" (row 0010, column 0010) on sheet "Public sector entities" (sheet 0004) in Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  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 OF07.00.01 and OF09.01.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
