Risk-weighted exposure amount cross-template consistency for CIUs exposures subject to Mandate-based approach (OF07.00.01.01, SC07.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b1002)

A blocking check on the credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01) and credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements for SDDTs (CR SA SDDT) (SC07.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001), step-in risk (PRA115) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all 14 test files of those returns.

The rule in plain words

RISK-WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT cross-template consistency for CIUs exposures subject to Mandate-based approach

In each of 9 columns (listed below) of Credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: standardised approach to capital requirements (CR SA) (OF07.00.01.01): "of which: operational phase" (row 0025) must not be less than "of which: Exposures to corporates - Specialised lending - Project finance exposures" (row 0023).

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 smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  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 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001), step-in risk (PRA115) 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), own funds (PRA001) and step-in risk (PRA115) returns, as a blocking check.

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: 0025} >= {t: OF07.00.01.01, r: 0023}

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):

scope({t: OF07.00.01.01, c:0030;0035;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0130;0140,z:0001;0002;0003;0004;0005;0006;0007;0008;0009;0010;0011;0012;0013;0015;0016;0017, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})

The same code in the step-in risk (PRA115) return: another check

The Bank of England uses boe_b1002 for a different check in the step-in risk (PRA115) return. There it is a blocking check on identification of step-in entities (SI1) (SI01.00.01.01).

If the entity type in column 0030 is "Other," a description is expected in column 0040

In Identification of step-in entities (SI1) (SI01.00.01.01): exactly 2 values must be reported in "Type of Code" (column 0020) and "If 'other' in 0030, please provide a description" (column 0040).

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
