2 min readWarningBank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1Updated 11 November 2026

Group solvency: information on affiliates (GS): a check on its values (C06.02.01.01, Bank of England check v11871_m)

A warning on the group solvency: information on affiliates (GS) template (C06.02.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all six test files of those returns.

The rule in plain words

Group solvency: information on affiliates (GS): a check on its values. The Bank's own words and formula below set it out in full.

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.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark C06.02.01 as reported.
