The rule in plain words
In Prudent valuation: core approach - Other (PRUVAL 2) (C32.02.01.03): every value in "Total core approach" (row 0010), "of which: trading book" (row 0020) and "Portfolios under articles 9 to 17 - total category level post-diversification" (row 0030) in "Unearned credit spreads" (column 0210) and "Investing and funding costs" (column 0220) must be zero or more.
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
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark C32.02.01 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
