Basic information - general and impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals: values must agree (IR.01.02, IR.22.01, Bank of England rule IR_bv1745_02)

A blocking check on the basic information - general (IR.01.02) and impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals (IR.22.01) templates, in the annual solo (ARS) return.

The rule in plain words

If "No use of matching adjustment" is reported in template Basic information - general (IR.01.02), the item "Impact of matching adjustment set to zero" in template Impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals (IR.22.01) should be zero

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.01.02 and IR.22.01 as reported.
