Own funds (CA1): "Own funds" must equal the sum of "Additional tier 1 capital", "Common equity tier 1 capital" and "Tier 2 capital" (C01.00.01.01, SC01.00.01.01, Bank of England check v0148_h)

A blocking check on the own funds (CA1) (C01.00.01.01) and own funds for SDDTs (CA1 SDDT) (SC01.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all six test files of those returns.

The rule in plain words

In column "Amount" (0010) of Own funds (CA1) (C01.00.01.01): "Own funds" (row 0010) must equal the sum of "Additional tier 1 capital" (row 0530), "Common equity tier 1 capital" (row 0020) and "Tier 2 capital" (row 0750).

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C01.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

What the rule then expects

Own funds must then be 2,450.

2,450Passes
2,550Fails

A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

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:

v0148_h: [C01.00.01.01 (c0010)] {r0010} = +{r0530} + {r0020} + {r0750}

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

{t: C01.00.01.01, r: 0010, c: 0010} = {t: C01.00.01.01, r: 0530, c: 0010} + {t: C01.00.01.01, r: 0020, c: 0010} + {t: C01.00.01.01, r: 0750, c: 0010}
