Own funds requirements (CA2): of which items shall be less than or equal to row 0710 (OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b2217)

A warning on the own funds requirements (CA2) template (OF02.00.01.01), 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

Of which items shall be less than or equal to row 0710

In column "All approaches" (0010) of Own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01): "Of which: Additional stricter prudential requirements based on Article 458" (row 0710) must not be less than the sum of "Of which: requirements for large exposures" (row 0720), "Of which: due to modified risk weights for targeting asset bubbles in the residential and commercial property" (row 0730) and "Of which: due to intra financial sector exposures" (row 0740).

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 smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF02.00.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
