Forms listed in APRA’s APRA Connect taxonomy for this migrated D2A collection (Major Bank Levy). Source
Validation rules
20 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: 20 of the 23 rules in APRA-ADI - Major Bank Levy.xlsx (3 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.
Public data
No published data from this return was found. No APRA statistical publication was found that names this return as a source (checked the explanatory notes and specifications of APRA’s current statistical publications). Source
