What this page covers

3 national returns for banks (the CMF publishes no single consolidated list of every periodic return it collects; this page is anchored on three chapters of its "Recopilacion Actualizada de Normas" (RAN), the compiled banking rulebook, found from the RAN's own chapter index): (1) Capitulo 18-3, which requires banks to prepare and send periodic information to the CMF, by file or by form, under the "Manual del Sistema de Informacion" (MSI, Information System Manual) and the "Compendio de Normas Contables" (Compendium of Accounting Standards); (2) Capitulo 20-8, which requires banks to report operational incidents, especially cybersecurity incidents, to the CMF as they happen; (3) Capitulo 21-20, the Basel Pillar 3 market-discipline and transparency disclosure standard, which lists every table and form a bank must publish and how often. Left out: the detailed periodic-information schedule itself, set out in Chapter C-3 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards and in the MSI (both referred to by Capitulo 18-3 but not read in full so far, and the MSI's own listing page is a JavaScript application not reachable by a plain fetch); banks' Basel III capital-adequacy reporting chapters (21-1 to 21-30), read only for the Pillar 3 disclosure chapter; insurers, securities issuers, pension fund administrators, cooperatives, payment-card issuers and other non-bank entities the CMF also supervises, which have their own, separate rulebooks not examined so far.

How firms file

The library records no filing system for the CMF. Each return's page gives its format and how it is sent, where the regulator says.

What could not be verified

Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.

The Manual del Sistema de Informacion (MSI) and Chapter C-3 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards, which Capitulo 18-3 names as where the periodic-information templates, formats and deadlines are defined, were not read so far: the MSI's own listing page (Manuales de Sistemas de Informacion) is a JavaScript application whose document list could not be read by a plain fetch, and the Compendium itself was not located as a single downloadable file among the pages browsed.
The operational-incident return (Capitulo 20-8) names no fixed template beyond the minimum fields listed in the chapter itself; whether a structured form also exists was not confirmed.
No CMF page stating the current number of banks or branches of foreign banks operating in Chile was read so far, so the size of the supervised population is not given on this page.
Insurers, securities issuers, pension fund administrators, cooperatives, payment-card issuers and other non-bank entities the CMF supervises have their own, separate rulebooks (linked from the same Legislacion y normativa menu) that were not examined so far.
The CMF's Pillar 3 chapter (21-20) cross-references its Basel III capital-adequacy chapters (21-1 to 21-30); only the disclosure chapter itself was read in full, not the underlying capital-adequacy calculation chapters.
