# InvalidDerivedAccount (/docs/errors/chain/InvalidDerivedAccount)

Deriving the sub-account for `as_derivative` failed to decode into a valid account id from the (caller, index) entropy. Check the `index` argument and the caller account used for derivation.

Declared by the `Utility` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).

## Remediation [#remediation]
