Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities: a total must equal the sum of its parts (SR18.00.04.02, SR09.01.04.01, Bank of England check boe_v5198_m)

A blocking check on the intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities (SR18.00.04.02) and intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Part 1: Loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given to other group entities (SR09.01.04.01) 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 (SR18.00.04.02): "Other Commitments given" in column "Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions" (row 0480, column 0130) must equal the sum of "Other Commitments given" (row 0170) in "Instruments without significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 1)" (column 0040), "Instruments with significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but not credit-impaired (Stage 2)" (column 0050), "Credit-impaired instruments (Stage 3)" (column 0060) and "Provision" (column 0110) in Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Part 1: Loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments given to other group entities (SR09.01.04.01).

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. 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 SR09.01.04 and SR18.00.04 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
