Validation rules
201 rules, as counted from the APRA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: Excel Rules worksheet with an Expression column (APRA Connect expression syntax), a constraint column and a failure message for each rule..
How they were counted
Rules in the Rules worksheet of the APRA Connect taxonomy whose List Name, Display Text or Forms column names a form of this standard: 201 of the 980 rules in APRA-ADI - Main.xlsx (13 rules in that file name no single form, such as ABN, reporting date and some cross-form checks, and are not counted).
Counts are in the APRA's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
