Detailed information by tiers on own funds: two values must match (IR.23.02, Bank of England rule IR_bv0499_02)

A blocking check on the detailed information by tiers on own funds template (IR.23.02), in the annual group (ARG) return.

The rule in plain words

The "Total" value of "Ordinary share capital/Called up but not yet paid in" reported in Detailed information by tiers on own funds (IR.23.02.04.01) should be equal to "Tier 2" of the same item

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. 02The two values must be the same. Find which of the two is right, and correct the other one.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.23.02 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

The cells it reads

A worked example

With simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Tier 21,200
What the rule then expects

Total must then be 1,200.

1,200Passes
1,300Fails

A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.
