PPU materiality threshold in aggregate (OF08.07.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b1046)

A warning on the credit risk and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements: scope of use of IRB and SA approaches (CR IRB 7) template (OF08.07.01.01), 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

PPU materiality threshold in aggregate

In Credit risk and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements: scope of use of IRB and SA approaches (CR IRB 7) (OF08.07.01.01): "Percentage subject to permanent partial use permission (immateriality in aggregate)" in column "Percentage subject to permanent partial use permission (immateriality in aggregate) (%)" (row 0270, column 0180) must not be more than 0.05.

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 OF08.07.01 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.
