Capital adequacy - memorandum items (CA4): "Total original exposures" must not be negative, and "Total original exposures" must be reported (C04.00.01.01, SC04.00.01.01, Bank of England check v6295_m)

The rule in plain words

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark C04.00.01 as reported.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns on Bank of England banking taxonomy 4.1.1. The Bank of England applies it to own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) and own funds (PRA001) returns, as a warning.

The Bank’s own words and formula

v6295_m: [C04.00.01.01 (r0860)] {c0010} >= 0 and {c0010} != empty
