Memorandum items for SDDTs (CA4 SDDT): total fair valued assets and liabilities shall not exceed 13 billion (SC04.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b1034_ss)

A warning on the memorandum items for SDDTs (CA4 SDDT) template (SC04.00.01.01), in the own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Total fair valued assets and liabilities shall not exceed 13 billion

In Memorandum items for SDDTs (CA4 SDDT) (SC04.00.01.01): "Total fair valued assets and liabilities" in column "Amount" (row 0870, column 0010) must be less than 13 multiplied by 1000 multiplied by 1000 multiplied by 1000.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark SC04.00.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
