Where the list was read: Source
Validation rules
The BOT publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the 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: a 'Validation Rule' column for each data element in Data File Manual version 1.2 (electronic payment service business report) (132 rows with a rule, in 14 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).
How they were counted
Not counted: the checks are written for each data element in the manual's 'Validation Rule' column, often several to a cell, not as numbered rules.
Counts are in the BOT's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data

Knowing exactly what is collected, in what format and under which rules is the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
