Part 2: Liabilities: a total must equal the sum of its parts (SR01.02.03.01, Bank of England check boe_v1698_m)

A blocking check on the part 2: Liabilities template (SR01.02.03.01), in the intragroup financial reporting (core) (RFB003) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the intragroup financial reporting (core) (RFB003) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all eight test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

In column "Carrying amount: Intragroup transactions" (column 0010) of Part 2: Liabilities (SR01.02.03.01): "Total liabilities" (row 0300) must equal "Financial liabilities held for trading" (row 0010) plus "Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss" (row 0070) plus "Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost" (row 0110) plus "Provisions" (row 0170) plus the sum of "Share capital repayable on demand" (row 0270), "Other liabilities" (row 0280) and "Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale" (row 0290).

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 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 SR01.02.03 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The Bank’s own words and formula

The plain words above spell out the Bank’s formula, with each cell named from its templates. In the Bank of England’s list of validations, word for word:

boe_v1698_m: T1: SR01.02.03.01; columns: {SR01.02.03.01, c0010}; Expression: {SR01.02.03.01, r0300} = {SR01.02.03.01, r0010} + {SR01.02.03.01, r0070} + {SR01.02.03.01, r0110} + {SR01.02.03.01, r0170} + sum({SR01.02.03.01, r0270-0290})
