Credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements during the transitional period (CVA): a conditional check (OF25.01.01.04, OF25.01.01.03, OF25.02.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0947)

A blocking check on the credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements during the transitional period (CVA) (OF25.01.01.04), credit valuation adjustment: CVA exposures by approach - Capital requirements and exposure values (CVA) (OF25.01.01.03) and credit valuation adjustment: basic approach - Decomposition of full BA-CVA capital requirements (CVA BA) (OF25.02.01.01) 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

Under the transitional arrangements of rule 7.1(2), exposures subject to full BA-CVA Capital requirements must be consistent with post-weighted Total full BA-CVA Capital Requirements after applying the 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 full BA-CVA" in column "CVA capital requirements" (row 0030, 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 "Capital requirement" (row 0100, column 0010) in Credit valuation adjustment: basic approach - Decomposition of full BA-CVA capital requirements (CVA BA) (OF25.02.01.01).

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

  1. 01Open the tables 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. 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 OF25.01.01.03, OF25.01.01.04 and OF25.02.01.01 as reported.
  5. 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
