Check that the breakdown of derivatives is equal to the total derivative transactions reported in row 0020 (SC34.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b1037_ss)

A blocking check on the information on derivatives, securities financing and long settlement transactions of SDDTs (CCR SDDT) template (SC34.00.01.01), 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

Check that the breakdown of derivatives is equal to the total derivative transactions reported in row 0020

In each of "Notional amounts" (column 0010), "Long positions" (column 0020), "Short positions" (column 0030) and "AMOUNT" (column 0060) of Information on derivatives, securities financing and long settlement transactions of SDDTs (CCR SDDT) (SC34.00.01.01): "of which: derivative transactions" (row 0020) must equal the sum of 5 rows (listed below).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark SC34.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Show the formulaShow

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

{t: SC34.00.01.01, r: 0020} = sum({t: SC34.00.01.01, r: 0160; 0170; 0180; 0190; 0200})

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