Counterparty credit risk: size of the derivative business (CCR 1): a value must not be more than another (C34.01.01.01, Bank of England check v10492_s)

The rule in plain words

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 C34.01.01 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.
