Validation rules

136 rules, as counted from the BdE's published material. They are written for people to read; software cannot run them as published. Source

How they are written: PDF report of cross-checks ('Informe de cuadres y relaciones' or 'Correlaciones y cuadres') giving each rule code, its number of evaluations, tolerance and formula.

Under I.E. 2008.02, statements that fail the validations are, as a general rule, rejected automatically and treated as not filed; part of the checks are also published in XBRL in the Bank's taxonomies.

The rules, on bde.es

How they were counted

Distinct rule codes in the two 'RC' coding reports, for LQB ('Correlaciones_LQB_RC.pdf') and LQIM ('Correlaciones_IMLQ_RC.pdf'), counted together; the 'FIN' coding versions repeat the same checks.

Counts are in the BdE's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
