Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA): two values must match (OF07.00.01.01, OF09.01.01.01, SC07.00.01.01 and others, Bank of England check boe_b0967)

A warning on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01), geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor: SA exposures (OF CR GB 1) (OF09.01.01.01), credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01) and geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor (SA EXPOSURES) (CR GB 1) (SC09.01.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all six test files of those returns.

The rule in plain words

Since row 0025 is a subset of row 0023 and the columns 0030, 0035, 0050, 0060, 0070, 0080, 0090, 0130, 0140 are negatives, then row 0025 should be less negative (i.e. larger than or equal to) row 0023 for the total exposure input (higher negative)

In Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01): "of which: Defaulted exposures" in column "Original exposure pre conversion factors" (row 0015, column 0010) on sheet "Exposures in the form of units or shares in collective investment undertakings (‘CIUs’)" (sheet 0015) must equal "Collective investments undertakings (CIU)" in column "Defaulted exposures" (row 0140, column 0020) (where country where the exposure is generated is "All countries") in Geographical breakdown of exposures by residence of the obligor: SA exposures (OF CR GB 1) (OF09.01.01.01).

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 two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  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 OF07.00.01 and OF09.01.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) and own funds (PRA001) returns, as a warning.

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.

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0015, c: 0010, z: 0015} = {t: OF09.01.01.01, r: 0140, c: 0020, filter: [eba_dim:CEG] = [eba_GA:x1]}
