Prudent valuation: core approach - Pre and post diversification (PRUVAL 2): a value must not be less than another (C32.02.01.01, C32.03.01.01, Bank of England check v6359_m)

The rule in plain words

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. 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. 03This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads
