Validation rules

86 rules, as counted from the FIN-FSA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: A sheet in the table workbook with one rule per row: the rule itself as a formula over table cells in the column ValidationCode (for example 'VA01a(1020,10)=SUM(VA01a(102010,10):VA01a(102030,10))'), then the table code, start and end date, frequency, system code, severity and interval..

The same workbook is the table template for the return.

The rules, on finanssivalvonta.fi

How they were counted

86 rows on the sheet 'FIN-FSA Validation rules' in the table workbook vl_lomakemalli_fi.xlsx, one per ValidationCode, none with an end date before 13 November 2026. Every rule has the severity 'Warning'.

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