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

Own funds (CA1): a value must not be more than another (C01.00.01.01, C04.00.01.01, SC01.00.01.01 and others, Bank of England check v4813_m)

A blocking check on the own funds (CA1) (C01.00.01.01), capital adequacy - memorandum items (CA4) (C04.00.01.01), own funds for SDDTs (CA1 SDDT) (SC01.00.01.01) and memorandum items for SDDTs (CA4 SDDT) (SC04.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

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

In Own funds (CA1) (C01.00.01.01): "SA General credit risk adjustments" in column "Amount" (row 0920, column 0010) must not be more than "Risk weighted exposure amounts for calculating the cap to the provision eligible as T2" in column "Amount" (row 0180, column 0010) in Capital adequacy - memorandum items (CA4) (C04.00.01.01) multiplied by 0.0125.

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 tables 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. 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C01.00.01 and C04.00.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The Bank’s own words and formula
