The rule in plain words
Reinsurance recoverables non-life must be consistent between IR.02.01 and IR.17.01
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
- 04The Bank of England allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.02.01 and IR.17.01 as reported.
- 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
