The rule in plain words
In each of "Multiplication factor (mc) x average of previous 60 working days (VaRavg)" (column 0030), "Previous day (VaRt-1)" (column 0040), "Multiplication factor (ms) x average of previous 60 working days (SVaRavg)" (column 0050) and "Latest available (SVaRt-1)" (column 0060) of Market risk: internal models (MKR IM) (C24.00.01.01): "Total amount for specific risk" (row 0110) must not be more than the sum of "TDI - Specific risk" (row 0040) and "Equities - Specific risk" (row 0070).
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C24.00.01 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Which returns it applies to
Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds (PRA001) returns, as a blocking check.
The Bank’s own words and formula
The plain words above spell out the Bank’s formula, with each cell named from its templates. In the Bank of England’s list of validations, word for word:
