Total exposures shall equal the Total the fully adjusted off balance sheet exposure value for the conversion factors 10%,20%,40%, 50%, 100% (OF07.00.01.01, SC07.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0765)

A blocking check on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01) and credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01) 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 shall equal the Total THE FULLY ADJUSTED OFF BALANCE SHEET exposure value for the conversion factors 10%,20%,40%, 50%, 100%

In each of 5 columns (listed below) 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 "Off-balance sheet exposures subject to credit risk" (row 0080).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF07.00.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Off-balance sheet exposures subject to credit risk1,200
What the rule then expects

Total exposures must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

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 blocking check.

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} = {t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0080}

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

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, c:0160;0170;0171;0180;0190,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.
