Accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM should be greater than or equal to accounting balance sheet value (LV40.00.00.01, Bank of England check v10095_m)

A warning on the alternative treatment of the exposure measure (LR1) template (LV40.00.00.01), in the leverage ratio (LVR001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the leverage ratio (LVR001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all eight test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM should be greater than or equal to accounting balance sheet value.

In each of 6 rows (listed below) of Alternative treatment of the exposure measure (LR1) (LV40.00.00.01): "Accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM" (column 0020) must not be less than "Accounting balance sheet value" (column 0010).

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. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark LV40.00.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
