Undertakings in the scope of the group: a conditional check (IR.32.01, Bank of England rule IR_bv1723)

A blocking check on the undertakings in the scope of the group template (IR.32.01), in the quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly group (QRG), annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns.

The rule in plain words

The item "Identification code and type of code of the immediate parent of the undertaking" (IR.32.01.04.01 C0081, not a template of this return) is not in a valid format: it should be LEI/ followed by 20 capital letters or digits (a valid LEI) or SC/ followed by a code

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 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. 03This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
