Market risk: internal model approach 1B (MKR IMA1B): a value must not be more than another (OF24.02.01.01, OF700.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0901)

The rule in plain words

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. 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 OF24.02.01 and OF700.00.01 as reported.
4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
