On- and off-balance sheet items - additional breakdown of exposures (LR2): this value of this exposure must be greater than or equal to zero (LV41.00.00.01, Bank of England check v3811_s)

A blocking check on the on- and off-balance sheet items - additional breakdown of exposures (LR2) template (LV41.00.00.01), 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

This value of this exposure must be greater than or equal to zero.

In On- and off-balance sheet items - additional breakdown of exposures (LR2) (LV41.00.00.01): "Low risk off-balance sheet items and off-balance sheet items attracting a 0% conversion factor under the solvency ratio (memo item)" in column "Nominal value" (row 0110, column 0030) must not be negative.

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 LV41.00.00 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
