Reinsurer and collateral provider entity information: a conditional check (IR.30.05, Bank of England rule IR_bv2639)

A blocking check on the reinsurer and collateral provider entity information template (IR.30.05), in the annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns.

The rule in plain words

The item "Identification code of reinsurer or collateral provider and type of code" (IR.30.05.01.01 C0010) is not in a valid format: it should be LEI/ followed by 18 capital letters or digits, then two digits (a valid LEI), SC/ followed by a code, left empty, or LSY/ 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.

The cells it reads

Reinsurer and collateral provider entity information (IR.30.05.01.01)

Columns

  • C0030Legal name of reinsurer or collateral provider
  • C0040Type of reinsurer or collateral provider
  • C0050Country of residency
  • C0060External rating assessment by ECAI
  • C0070Name of ECAI
  • C0080Internal rating

Which returns it applies to

Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual third-country branch (ARB) returns on Bank of England taxonomy 2.2.0. The Bank of England applies it to annual third-country branch (ARB), annual solo (ARS) and annual group (ARG) returns, as a blocking check.
