With-profits liabilities and assets: values must agree (IRR.12.06, Bank of England rule IR_bv1820)

A blocking check on the with-profits liabilities and assets template (IRR.12.06), in the annual solo (ARS) return.

The rule in plain words

R0060 (future policy related liabilities) = sum of rows r0070-r0120 (future costs) - r0130 - r0140 (deductions)

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 IRR.12.06 as reported.
