The rule in plain words
In each of 8 columns (listed below) of Counterparty credit risk: CCR exposures treated with the internal model method (IMM) (CCR 5) (C34.05.01.01): "Total" (row 0180) must equal the sum of "Credit" (row 0140), "Interest rate" (row 0120), "Commodity" (row 0160), "Equity" (row 0150), "Foreign exchange" (row 0130) and "Other" (row 0170).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
- 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C34.05.01 as reported.
- 06This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
With simple numbers.
Total must then be 3,000.
A file that reports 3,000 passes. One that reports 3,100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
Which returns it applies to
Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds (PRA001) returns, as a warning.
