Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities: a value must not be more than another (SR19.00.04.04, SR19.00.04.03, SR19.00.04.02, Bank of England check boe_v7889_m)

A warning on the intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.04), intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.03) and intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.02) 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 forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.04): the sum of "Loan commitments given" in column "Collateral received on exposures with forbearance measures" (row 0340, column 0170) and "Loan commitments given" in column "Financial guarantees received on exposures with forbearance measures" (row 0340, column 0180) in Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.03) must not be more than "Loan commitments given" in column "Gross carrying amount / nominal amount of exposures with forbearance measures" (row 0340, column 0010) minus "Loan commitments given" in column "Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions" (row 0340, column 0120) in Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on forborne exposures to other group entities (SR19.00.04.02).

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. 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 SR19.00.04 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
