The rule in plain words
Total capital requirements must be the sum of capital requirements across all methodologies
In Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Authorisations (CVA) (OF25.01.01.01): if "SA-CVA" in column "Methodologies used by the firm (Yes/No)" (row 0030, column 0010) is true and "'Reduced' BA-CVA" in column "Methodologies used by the firm (Yes/No)" (row 0010, column 0010) is true, "All exposures subject to CVA capital requirements" in column "CVA capital requirements" (row 0010, column 0030) in Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03) must equal the sum of "of which, using the SA-CVA" (row 0020) and "of which, using the reduced BA-CVA" (row 0040) in column "CVA capital requirements" (column 0030) in Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
- 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.01 and OF25.01.01.03 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds (PRA001) returns, as a blocking check.
The Bank’s own words and formula
The first paragraph of the plain words above is the Bank of England’s own, word for word, from its list of validations. The second spells out its formula, with each cell named from its templates.
