"Total exposures" must not be less than "Of which: RE-SECURITISATIONS" (OF19.00.01.01, Bank of England check v0587_m)

A blocking check on the market risk: standardised approach for specific risk in securitisations (MKR SA SEC) template (OF19.00.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

In each of "Long" (column 0010), "Short" (column 0020), "Long" (column 0050) and "Short" (column 0060) of Market risk: standardised approach for specific risk in securitisations (MKR SA SEC) (OF19.00.01.01): "Total exposures" (row 0010) must not be less than "Of which: RE-SECURITISATIONS" (row 0020).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is smaller 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 OF19.00.01 as reported.
  5. 05This 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

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:

v0587_m: [OF19.00.01.01 (c0010;0020;0050;0060)] {r0010} >= {r0020}
Show the formulaShow

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

{t: OF19.00.01.01, r: 0010} >= {t: OF19.00.01.01, r: 0020}

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

scope({t: OF19.00.01.01, c:0010;0020;0050;0060, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
