Prudent valuation: fair-valued assets and liabilities (PRUVAL 1): "Total fair-valued assets" must equal the sum of 12 cells (C32.01.01.01, Bank of England check v6321_m)

A blocking check on the prudent valuation: fair-valued assets and liabilities (PRUVAL 1) template (C32.01.01.01), 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 each of 6 columns (listed below) of Prudent valuation: fair-valued assets and liabilities (PRUVAL 1) (C32.01.01.01): "Total fair-valued assets" (row 0020) must equal the sum of 12 cells (listed below).

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 C32.01.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
