"Own funds requirements" multiplied by 12.5 must equal "Total risk exposure amount" (OF23.00.01.01, OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check v0630_m)

A blocking check on the market risk: standardised approaches for position risk in commodities (MKR SA COM) (OF23.00.01.01) 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 "Total positions in commodities" (0010) of Market risk: standardised approaches for position risk in commodities (MKR SA COM) (OF23.00.01.01): "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 OF23.00.01 as reported.
