PRA110. HQLA and usable liquidity. Overnight and higher maturity. Total: a total must equal the sum of its parts (CL66.01.01.07, CL66.01.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b2023_45_m)

A warning on the PRA110. HQLA and usable liquidity. Overnight and higher maturity. Total (CL66.01.01.07) and PRA110. Overnight and higher maturity. Total (CL66.01.01.01) templates, in the liquidity pillar II (PRA110) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the liquidity pillar II (PRA110) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

In PRA110. HQLA and usable liquidity. Overnight and higher maturity. Total (CL66.01.01.07): "Total Usable Liquidity Resources" in column "Day 44" (row 7420, column 7280) must equal the sum of "Cash" in column "Day 44" (row 7380, column 7280) and "Outflows which can be met by posting securities (Total)" in column "Day 44" (row 7240, column 7280) in PRA110. Overnight and higher maturity. Total (CL66.01.01.01).

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 CL66.01.01 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.

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Cash, Day 441,200
Outflows which can be met by posting securities (Total), Day 44800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Total Usable Liquidity Resources, Day 44 must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
