Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA): a total must equal the sum of its parts (OF07.00.01.01, OF09.01.01.01, OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0717)

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) and own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01) templates, 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.

Check your file for this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

Total exposures (for exposure value and RWA columns) should equal the sum of all on-balance sheet exposures in row 0070, all off-Balance Sheet exposures in row 0080, and counterparty credit risk exposures (rows 0090, 0110, 0130)

In each of "Exposure value" (column 0200) and "Risk-weighted exposure amount" (column 0220) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01): "Total exposures" (row 0010) must equal the sum of 5 rows (listed below).

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. 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 OF07.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This 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) return on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to 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.

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: 0010} = sum({t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0070; 0080; 0090; 0110; 0130})

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

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, c:0200;0220,z:0001;0002;0003;0004;0005;0006;0007;0008;0009;0010;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.
