Market risk: ASA credit spread risk for non-securitisations (AS2 CSR): total net sensitivites of non-securitisations CSR (OF91.02.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0554)

A blocking check on the market risk: ASA credit spread risk for non-securitisations (AS2 CSR) template (OF91.02.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Total net sensitivites of non-securitisations CSR

In each of 20 rows (listed below) of Market risk: ASA credit spread risk for non-securitisations (AS2 CSR) (OF91.02.01.01): "Net sensitivities per risk class" (column 0030) must equal the sum of "Positive" (column 0010) and "Negative" (column 0020).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF91.02.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Positive1,200
Negative800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Net sensitivities per risk class must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Which returns it applies to

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.

Show the formulaShow

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

{t: OF91.02.01.01, c: 0030} = {t: OF91.02.01.01, c: 0010} + {t: OF91.02.01.01, c: 0020}

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

scope({t: OF91.02.01.01, r:0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150;0160;0170;0180;0190;0200, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})
