A warning on the market risk: standardised approach for specific risk in the correlation trading portfolio (MKR SA CTP) template (OF20.00.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

The rule in plain words

In each of 12 rows (listed below) of Market risk: standardised approach for specific risk in the correlation trading portfolio (MKR SA CTP) (OF20.00.01.01): the sum of "Long" (column 0050) and "Short" (column 0060) must equal the sum of "OTHER (RW=1250%)" (column 0406), "SEC-IRBA" (column 0402), "SEC-SA" (column 0403), "SEC-ERBA" (column 0404) and "Internal assessment approach" (column 0405).

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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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 OF20.00.01 as reported.
  6. 06This 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:

v7392_m: [OF20.00.01.01 (All rows)] {c0050} + {c0060} = {c0406} + {c0402} + {c0403} + {c0404} + {c0405}

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

{t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0050} + {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0060} = {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0406} + {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0402} + {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0403} + {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0404} + {t: OF20.00.01.01, c: 0405}

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

scope({t: OF20.00.01.01, r:0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120, f: banking, fv: banking_reporting})
