The rule in plain words
This represents the aggregate own funds requirements for non-modellable risk factors (NMRF SS Total) calculated in accordance with the formula set out in Article 325bk of the Market Risk: Internal Model Approach (CRR) Part of the PRA rulebook based on the latest available observation (previous one-day horizon)
The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table 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 OF24.02.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
