The rule in plain words
Value adjustments and provisions should not exceed original exposure pre CRM
In each of 17 rows (listed below) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements (CR IRB 1) (OF08.01.01.01): the size of "(-) Value adjustments and provisions" (column 0290) (ignoring its sign) must not be more than the size of "Original exposure pre-conversion factors" (column 0020) (ignoring its sign).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 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 OF08.01.01 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
