Validation rules
The Bank of Israel publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: XBRL Formula 1.0 value assertions in the taxonomy package (val folder, files vr-*.xml grouped in assertion sets per table, severity fatal or warning), per the Bank's taxonomy documentation.
The directive text also sets reconciliations, for example table 7.1 row 20 column 01 must equal table 01 row 04 column 07, and housing loans in table 07 must equal those reported under directive 876 (sections 20 and 23 to 25).
How they were counted
Not counted. The checks are XBRL Formula assertions inside the taxonomy package, which is linked only from the XBRL page; that page blocks automated access and the package file could not be located.
Counts are in the Bank of Israel's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
Published only added up across firms. Monthly balance sheet series for the whole banking system are published in the Bank's statistics database (dataflow BBS_99 'Monthly Balance Sheets - Banks', and website series WEB_M), tagged with data points of directive 821. No bank-by-bank 821 series were found. Source
