Item "quantity" in List of assets should not be reported if 'par amount' is reported for CIC codes different than '##71' and '##9#' (IR.06.02, Bank of England rule IR_bv1773_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 "quantity" in List of assets (IR.06.02) should not be reported if 'par amount' is reported for CIC codes different than '##71' and '##9#'

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the tables 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.
