"Custody assets [by type of customer]" must not be less than "Of which: entrusted to other entities" (SR22.02.04.01, Bank of England check boe_v1990_h)

A blocking check on the intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Asset management, custody and other service functions Part 2: Assets involved in the services provided template (SR22.02.04.01), in the intragroup financial reporting (core and detailed breakdowns) (RFB004) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the intragroup financial reporting (core and detailed breakdowns) (RFB004) 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 "Amount of the assets involved in the services provided to other group entities" (column 0010) of Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Asset management, custody and other service functions Part 2: Assets involved in the services provided (SR22.02.04.01): "Custody assets [by type of customer]" (row 0060) must not be less than "Of which: entrusted to other entities" (row 0090).

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 SR22.02.04 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
