Credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC): a value must not be less than another (C13.01.01.01, SC13.01.01.01, Bank of England check v7335_m)

A warning on the credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC) (C13.01.01.01) and credit risk: securitisations for SDDTs (CR SEC SDDT) (SC13.01.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) and own funds for SDDTs (PRA116) returns, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all six test files of those returns.

Check your file for this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

In each of 19 rows (listed below) of Credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC) (C13.01.01.01): the size of "Total amount of SECURITISATI0N exposures originated" (column 0010) (ignoring its sign) must not be less than the size of "Notional amount retained or repurchased of credit protection" (column 0040) (ignoring its sign).

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. 03The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C13.01.01 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

The Bank’s own words and formula

The plain words above spell out the Bank’s formula, with each cell named from its templates. In the Bank of England’s list of validations, word for word:

v7335_m: [C13.01.01.01 (r0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150;0160;0170;0180;0190)] abs({c0010}) >= abs({c0040})
Show the formulaShow

The Bank of England's formula. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

abs({t: C13.01.01.01, c: 0010}) >= abs({t: C13.01.01.01, c: 0040})

Where it applies, in the Bank's words (its scope):

scope({t: C13.01.01.01, r:0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150;0160;0170;0180;0190, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
