The rule in plain words

In each of "Total fair-valued assets and liabilities" (row 0010), "Total fair-valued assets" (row 0020) and "Total fair-valued liabilities" (row 0150) of Prudent valuation: fair-valued assets and liabilities (PRUVAL 1) (C32.01.01.01): "Fair-valued assets and liabilities included in art. 4(1) threshold" (column 0080) must equal "Fair-valued assets and liabilities" (column 0010) minus "Exactly matching" (column 0030) minus "Hedge accounting" (column 0040) minus "Prudential filters" (column 0050) minus "Other" (column 0060).

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.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark C32.01.01 as reported.
