Reported values should be negative or zero (OF07.00.01.03, Bank of England check boe_b0733_1)

A warning on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) - Memorandum items - Exposures in default template (OF07.00.01.03), 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

Reported values should be negative or zero

In Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) - Memorandum items - Exposures in default (OF07.00.01.03): every value in the cells it covers must be zero or less.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 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.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF07.00.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
