Statistical Notices update the definitions and guidance contained in the Banking Statistics Yellow Folder
Published on 26 May 2022

Bank of England Statistics taxonomy version 1.2.3

Version 1.2.3 of the Bank of England Statistics taxonomy involves adjustments to a number of validation rules. All entry points remain the same with this update.

A change log has been published to outline changes between version 1.2.2 and this release. A number of validations have been added or amended to ensure the Basic Information template is reported correctly. Additionally a fix has been introduced for FV_v0044 and a number of CE validations have been removed.

All published documents now consistently refer to v1.2.3 but there have only been definitional changes to the taxonomy package, validation spreadsheet and the corresponding change log.

BEEDS UAT Window Opening

As a reminder, there is a BEEDS UAT window opening next week in order to allow firms to test their statistical reporting. Please note that only principal users will be set up (as determined by KeySurvey), it is the responsibility of the principal user to manage/set-up any additional users for your firm(s).

Once the testing environment is ready, comms will be sent to principal users to advise of this - please note that this likely to be on 31 May 2022.

The UAT window will be open until 1st July 2022.

Reporting period end date

For the UAT window, firms should report their reporting period end date as month end. For example, this should be 2022-04-30 for April reporting. This is not the case for any firms reporting in LIVE at present, we will communicate once LIVE reporting has been amended to be month-end.
