Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA): a value must not be more than another (OF07.00.01.01, OF09.01.01.01, OF02.00.01.01 and others, Bank of England check boe_b0536)

A warning on the 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 (OF CR GB 1) (OF09.01.01.01), own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01), credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01), geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA EXPOSURES) (CR GB 1) (SC09.01.01.01) and own funds requirements for SDDTs (CA2 SDDT) (SC02.00.01.01) 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

The values reported for Defaulted exposures (row 0015) in sheets 0001, 0012,0015 and 0016 should be smaller than (or equal to) r0010 Total Exposures

In each of 12 columns (listed below) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01): "of which: Defaulted exposures" (row 0015) must not be more than "Total exposures" (row 0010).

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

  1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 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.

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) and own funds (PRA001) returns, as a warning.

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.

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

{t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0015} <= {t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0010}

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

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, c:0010;0040;0100;0110;0120;0150;0160;0170;0180;0190;0200;0220,z:0001;0012;0015;0016, 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.
