The value reported in row 0020 should equal to the sum of the values reported in rows 0030 and 0040 of this column (LV40.00.00.01, Bank of England check v10097_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

The value reported in row 0020 should equal to the sum of the values reported in rows 0030 and 0040 of this column.

In column "Notional amount/ nominal value" (0070) of Alternative treatment of the exposure measure (LR1) (LV40.00.00.01): "Credit derivatives (protection sold)" (row 0020) must equal the sum of "Credit derivatives (protection sold), which are subject to a close out clause" (row 0030) and "Credit derivatives (protection sold), which are not subject to a close out clause" (row 0040).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 LV40.00.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
