The rule in plain words

Values reported in these columns should be greater than or equal to zero

In Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) - Memorandum items - Equity exposures - transitional provisions (OF07.00.01.04): every value in the cells it covers on sheet "Subordinated debt, equity and other own funds instruments" (sheet 0016) must be zero or more.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF07.00.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
