Validation rules
13 rules, as counted from the APRA's published material. They are written for people to read; software cannot run them as published. Source
How they are written: Excel Rules worksheet listing each rule ID, type (error or warning) and a plain-English business definition; an XSD in the same zip validates the structure of XML files. No executable expressions are published for these collections..
How they were counted
Rows in the Rules worksheet of the current reporting taxonomy workbook(s) inside the APRA Connect taxonomy artefacts zip: 13 in SRS 607.0 RSE Business Model-V6.xlsx. Includes general checks such as the ABN check. Built-in data type and enumeration checks are not listed as rules.
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
