Settlement/delivery risk (CR SETT): a value must not be negative (C11.00.01.01, Bank of England check v3734_s)

A blocking check on the settlement/delivery risk (CR SETT) template (C11.00.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

In Settlement/delivery risk (CR SETT) (C11.00.01.01): every value in "Total unsettled transactions in the Non-trading Book" (row 0010) and "Total unsettled transactions in the Trading Book" (row 0070) in column "Total settlement risk exposure amount" (column 0040) must be zero or more.

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. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark C11.00.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
