Validation rules

304 rules, as counted from the CBI's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: XBRL Formula assertions in the NST taxonomy package (val folder), plus an Excel list of every rule with its expression, severity and modules.

The rules, on centralbank.ie

How they were counted

Distinct rule codes in sheet 'NST' of 'NST 1.7.0 List of Validations' whose 'Severity and modules' column names module arsgb, with 'Include in XBRL' = yes and 'Deactivated' = no (304). A further 48 rule codes list arsgb but have 'Include in XBRL' = no.

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

Public data

No published data from this return was found. No published data from this return was found on the Central Bank pages checked. Source
