Impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals: values must agree (IR.22.01, Bank of England rule IR_bv0595_01)

A blocking check on the impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals template (IR.22.01), in the annual solo (ARS) return.

The rule in plain words

The item "Impact of volatility adjustment set to zero" reported in Impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals (IR.22.01.01.01) should be equal to the difference between the value of "Without volatility adjustment and without other transitional measures" and the value of "Without transitional on interest rate"

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.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.22.01 as reported.
