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.
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. System-wide series citing directive 856 data points are published quarterly in the Bank's statistics database (dataflow CRDT and website series WEB_Q). Source
