Own funds requirements (CA2): this sum represents Total Market Risk RWAs under all approaches (OF02.00.01.01, C24.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b1091)

A warning on the own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01) and market risk: internal models (MKR IM) (C24.00.01.01) templates, 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

This sum represents Total Market Risk RWAs under all approaches

In column "All approaches" (0010) of Own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01): "Total risk exposure amount for position, foreign exchange and commodities risks" (row 0520) must equal the sum of "Risk exposure amount for position, foreign exchange and commodities risks under simplified standardised approaches (SSA)" (row 0530), "Risk exposure amount for position, foreign exchange and commodities risks under advanced standardised approaches (ASA) - for ASA desks only" (row 0571) and "Risk exposure amount for position, foreign exchange and commodities risks under internal model approach (IMA) - for IMA desks only" (row 0580).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the tables 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 OF02.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
