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 Service channel Data File Manual version 1.1 (commercial banks) (51 rows with a rule, in 3 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

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

No published data from this return was found. No published figures from this return were found. Source
