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 (SR18.00.04.03, Bank of England check boe_v8260_h)

A warning on the intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities template (SR18.00.04.03), 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 each of "Financial guarantees received on performing exposures" (column 0205) and "Financial guarantees received on non-performing exposures" (column 0210) of Intragroup financial reporting (detailed breakdown) Information on performing and non-performing exposures to other group entities (SR18.00.04.03): "Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or through equity subject to impairment" (row 0201) must equal the sum of "Debt securities" (row 0181) and "Loans and advances" (row 0191).

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark SR18.00.04 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.

The Bank’s own words and formula

The plain words above spell out the Bank’s formula, with each cell named from its templates. In the Bank of England’s list of validations, word for word:

boe_v8260_h: T1: SR18.00.04.03; columns: {SR18.00.04.03, c0205;0210}; Expression: {SR18.00.04.03, r0201} = {SR18.00.04.03, r0181} + {SR18.00.04.03, r0191}

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: SR18.00.04.03, r: 0201} = {t: SR18.00.04.03, r: 0181} + {t: SR18.00.04.03, r: 0191}

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):
