"Own funds requirements" multiplied by 12.5 must equal "Total risk exposure amount" (OF21.00.01.01, OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check v0619_m)

A blocking check on the market risk: standardised approach for position risk in equities (MKR SA EQU) (OF21.00.01.01) and own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01) templates, 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 row "Equities in trading book" (0010) of Market risk: standardised approach for position risk in equities (MKR SA EQU) (OF21.00.01.01): "Own funds requirements" (column 0060) multiplied by 12.5 must equal "Total risk exposure amount" (column 0070).

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF21.00.01 as reported.

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:

v0619_m: [OF21.00.01.01 (All sheets)] {r0010, c0060} * 12.5 = {r0010, c0070}

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

{t: OF21.00.01.01, r: 0010, c: 0060} * 12.5 = {t: OF21.00.01.01, r: 0010, c: 0070}

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

scope({t: OF21.00.01.01, z:0001;0004;0006;0007;0013;0021;0023;0027;0028;0029;0030;0031;0032;0033;0034;0035;0036;0037;0038;0039;0040;0041;0042;0043;0044, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})
