Credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC): a value must not be less than another (C13.01.01.01, Bank of England check v7432_m)

A warning on the credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC) template (C13.01.01.01), in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

Check your file for this ruleWhat to do if it fails

The rule in plain words

In each of 43 rows (listed below) of Credit risk: securitisations (CR SEC) (C13.01.01.01): the size of "SEC-IRBA" (column 0720) (ignoring its sign) must not be less than the size of "Of which: calculated under article 255 (4) (PURCHASED RECEIVABLES)" (column 0730) (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 table 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:

v7432_m: [C13.01.01.01 (r0010;0020;0030;0040;0050;0060;0070;0080;0090;0100;0110;0120;0130;0140;0150;0160;0170;0180;0190;0200;0210;0220;0230;0240;0250;0260;0270;0280;0290;0300;0310;0320;0330;0340;0350;0360;0370;0380;0390;0400;0410;0420;0430)] abs({c0720}) >= abs({c0730})

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

abs({t: C13.01.01.01, c: 0720}) >= abs({t: C13.01.01.01, c: 0730})

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.
