Alternative treatment of the exposure measure (LR1): a value must not be more than another (LV40.00.00.01, Bank of England check v10098_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 of SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables) in row 0240 should be less than or equal to the value of securities financing transactions reported in row 0071 of this column.

In column "Accounting value assuming no netting or other CRM" (0020) of Alternative treatment of the exposure measure (LR1) (LV40.00.00.01): "SFT cash conduit lending (cash receivables)" (row 0240) must not be more than "Security Financing Transactions" (row 0071).

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

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 bigger 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.
