The rule in plain words
Under the transitional arrangements of rule 7.1(2), exposures subject to SA-CVA Capital requirements must be consistent with post-weighted Total SA-CVA Capital Requirements post-discount factor
In Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements during the transitional period (CVA) (OF25.01.01.04): if "Transitional described under rule 7.1(2)" in column "Transitional arrangement chosen (Yes / No)" (row 0020, column 0010) is true, "of which, using the SA-CVA" in column "CVA capital requirements" (row 0020, column 0030) in Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03) must equal "For firms using the transitional described under rule 7.1(2): Total after applying the discount scalar" in column "Total Capital requirements" (row 0080, column 0040) in Credit valuation adjustment: standardised approach - Decomposition of SA-CVA capital requirements (CVA SA) (OF25.03.01.01).
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
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF25.01.01.03, OF25.01.01.04 and OF25.03.01.01 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The Bank’s own words and formula
