Item “Valuation method” in List of assets should be reported (IR.06.02, Bank of England rule IR_bv0741_02)

A blocking check on the list of assets template (IR.06.02), in the quarterly group (QRG) and annual group (ARG) returns.

The rule in plain words

Item “Valuation method” in List of assets (IR.06.02.04.01) should be reported

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.06.02 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
