1. Form AS and Form FV update

The Bank of England is making a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment available for reporters to test Form AS and FV submissions in advance of submitting via the Bank of England’s Electronic Data Submission (BEEDS) portal in September. This UAT environment is being made available in order to test the new Form AS and FV taxonomy v1.1.0 which was released earlier this year. Please see Statistical Notice 2020/01 for more detail on the updated taxonomy.

The dates have now been confirmed and the window will be available from Monday 6 July to Thursday 16 July.

Further information relating to on-boarding for the test window will be sent out shortly. If you have any questions regarding the UAT window, please contact BEEDSqueries@bankofengland.co.uk.

The deadline for first reporting of both forms on the new taxonomy will remain the 1 September 2020 for both Q1 and Q2 2020 reporting periods.

If there are any questions relating to Form AS or Form FV, please contact DSDSecurities@bankofengland.co.uk for Form AS related queries or DSDPLteam@bankofengland.co.uk for Form FV related queries.
