Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA): values must agree (OF07.00.01.01, SC07.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0506)

A warning on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01) 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

risk-weighted exposure amount for the stated row is the exposure value multiplied by the risk weight (400%). RWEA shall only exceed 400% of exposure value if an Equities Transitional Approach is being applied

In row "400%" (0261) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01): "Risk-weighted exposure amount" (column 0220) must equal "Exposure value" (column 0200) multiplied by 4.

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.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF07.00.01 as reported.

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.

Show the formulaShow

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0261, c: 0220} = {t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0261, c: 0200} * 4

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, z:0002;0003;0004;0005;0006;0007;0008;0011;0012;0013;0015;0016;0017, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})

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.
