Market risk: standardised approach for position risks in traded debt instruments (MKR SA TDI): a total must equal the sum of its parts (OF18.00.01.01, OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check v6019_m)

A blocking check on the market risk: standardised approach for position risks in traded debt instruments (MKR SA TDI) (OF18.00.01.01) and own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01) templates, 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 Market risk: standardised approach for position risks in traded debt instruments (MKR SA TDI) (OF18.00.01.01): the sum of "Traded debt instruments in trading book" in column "Total risk exposure amount" (row 0010, column 0070) on 23 sheets must equal "Traded debt instruments in trading book" in column "Total risk exposure amount" (row 0010, column 0070) on sheet "Total" (sheet 0001) minus 12.5 multiplied by the sum of "Own funds requirement for securitisation instruments" in column "Own funds requirements" (row 0325, column 0060) on sheet "Total" (sheet 0001) and "Own funds requirement for the correlation trading portfolio" in column "Own funds requirements" (row 0330, column 0060) on sheet "Total" (sheet 0001).

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. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF18.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
