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 SME Data Set Manual version 1.1 (7 rows with a rule, in 2 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.
