Statement of comprehensive income: a total must equal the sum of its parts (SR03.00.03.01, Bank of England check boe_v4956_m)

A blocking check on the statement of comprehensive income template (SR03.00.03.01), 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 "Current period: Intragroup transactions" (column 0010) of Statement of comprehensive income (SR03.00.03.01): "Items that will not to be reclassified to profit or loss" (row 0030) must equal the sum of "Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale" (row 0070), "Share of other recognised income and expense of entities accounted for using the equity method" (row 0080), "Fair value changes of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income" (row 0081) and "Fair value changes of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss that is attributable to changes in their credit risk" (row 0086).

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 SR03.00.03 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
