Legacy exempt ratio must be reported if transitional arrangements under rule 7.1(2) have been chosen (OF25.01.01.04, Bank of England check boe_b0940)

A blocking check on the credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements during the transitional period (CVA) template (OF25.01.01.04), 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

Legacy exempt ratio must be reported if transitional arrangements under rule 7.1(2) have been chosen

In row "Transitional described under rule 7.1(2)" (0020) of Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements during the transitional period (CVA) (OF25.01.01.04): if "Transitional arrangement chosen (Yes / No)" (column 0010) is true, "Legacy exempt ratio at the start of the transitional" (column 0020) must be reported.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.04 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
