Solvency capital requirement - non-life and health catastrophe risk: values must agree (IR.27.01, Bank of England rule IR_bv0655)

The rule in plain words

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.27.01 as reported.

The cells it reads

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS) return on Bank of England taxonomy 2.2.0. The Bank of England applies it to annual solo (ARS) returns, as a blocking check.

The Bank’s own words and formula

In the Bank of England’s list of validations, word for word:

The item "Diversification effect between regions" reported in IR.27.01.01.02 - Solvency Capital Requirement - Non-life and Health catastrophe risk should be equal to the difference between "Total Windstorm after diversification" and "Total Windstorm all Regions before diversification".
