The rule in plain words
The item "Nominated ECAI" should be reported if the rating was provided in "Credit quality step", for assets CIC other than '##71', '##72' and '##79'
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
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 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.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.01.02 and IR.06.02 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
