A warning on the capital adequacy - capital ratios (CA3) (C03.00.01.01) and capital adequacy - capital ratios and capital levels for SDDTs (CA3 SDDT) (SC03.00.01.01) 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 Capital adequacy - capital ratios (CA3) (C03.00.01.01): "TSCR: to be made up of Tier 1" in column "Amount" (row 0150, column 0010) must not be less than 0.06.

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 smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark C03.00.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
