The rule in plain words
The total full BA-CVA requirement must be reported
In Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Authorisations (CVA) (OF25.01.01.01): if "'Full' BA-CVA" in column "Methodologies used by the firm (Yes/No)" (row 0020, column 0010) is true, "Total" in column "Capital requirement" (row 0090, column 0010) in Credit valuation adjustment: basic approach - Decomposition of full BA-CVA capital requirements (CVA BA) (OF25.02.01.01) must be reported.
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.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.01 and OF25.02.01.01 as reported.
- 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
