Significant business partners and financial agents data

A regulatory return listed by the Bank of Thailand (BOT), Thailand.

Identifies a financial institution's significant business partners (outsourced or partnered service providers) and the agents it uses to distribute financial products, so BOT can see where operational and conduct risk may sit outside the institution itself. Source

Validation rules

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

How they are written: Written rules in BOT's documents, in Thai and English: numbered rules in tables headed 'Validation Id' in Business Partner Document version 1.2 (36 ids); a 'Validation Rule' column for each data element in Business Partner Document version 1.2 (26 rows with a rule, in 5 tables)..

BOT publishes no XML schema file or rule file that software can run as published. BOT's Data Set page describes three automated checks its DMS system runs on every submission: Basic Validation, Complex Validation (relationships within the same data set, run on data received by 17:00 each day) and Cross Validation (between data sets, with results shown to the reporting firm the next day).

The rules, on bot.or.th

How they were counted

36 distinct Validation Id values in the validation tables of Business Partner Document v1.2. Element-level checks in its Validation Rule column (26 rows) are not counted.

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