Total risk-weighted exposure amount reported by roll-out class (OF08.07.01.01, OF09.02.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0779)

A blocking check on the credit risk and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements: scope of use of IRB and SA approaches (CR IRB 7) (OF08.07.01.01) and geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor: IRB exposures (CR GB 2) (OF09.02.01.01) 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.

The rule in plain words

Total risk-weighted exposure amount reported by roll-out class

In each of 13 columns (listed below) of Credit risk and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements: scope of use of IRB and SA approaches (CR IRB 7) (OF08.07.01.01): "Total" (row 0260) must equal the sum of 8 rows (listed below).

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 OF08.07.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

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 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: OF08.07.01.01, r: 0260} = sum({t: OF08.07.01.01, r: 0180; 0190; 0200; 0210; 0220; 0230; 0240; 0250})

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

scope({t: OF08.07.01.01, c:0010;0020;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150, 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.
