Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities: a value must not be more than another (SR18.00.04.03, SR09.02.04.01, Bank of England check boe_v3078_m)

A blocking check on the intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities (SR18.00.04.03) and intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Part 2: Loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments received from other group entities (SR09.02.04.01) templates, 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 Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities (SR18.00.04.03): the sum of "Debt instruments other than held for trading or trading" (row 0330) and "Off-balance sheet exposures" (row 0550) in "Financial guarantees received on performing exposures" (column 0205) and "Financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures" (column 0210) must not be more than "Financial guarantees received" in column "Maximum amount of the guarantee that can be considered" (row 0080, column 0010) in Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Part 2: Loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments received from other group entities (SR09.02.04.01).

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. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark SR09.02.04 and SR18.00.04 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
