4 min readWarningBank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1Updated 11 November 2026

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, SC07.00.01.01 and others, Bank of England check boe_b0721)

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), credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01) and geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA EXPOSURES) (CR GB 1) (SC09.01.01.01) 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

total exposures row 0010 should be equal to the sum of all exposures allocated to the breakdown of risk weights applicable for the exposures. This applies to each column 0010 (original exposure value), [OF07.00.01.01] (adjustments to original exposure), 0040 (net of adjustment exposure value)

In each of "Original exposure pre conversion factors" (column 0010), "(-) Value adjustments and provisions associated with the original exposure" (column 0030), "(-) Adjustment to exposure value due to on-balance sheet netting" (column 0035) and "Exposure net of value adjustments, provisions, and on-balance sheet netting" (column 0040) 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 27 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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) 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.

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: 0140; 0150; 0160; 0170; 0171; 0180; 0181; 0182; 0190; 0191; 0192; 0200; 0201; 0202; 0220; 0221; 0222; 0230; 0231; 0232; 0233; 0234; 0240; 0250; 0261; 0270; 0280})

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

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, c:0010;0030;0035;0040,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.
