Templates (0)
The library lists no templates for this return.
EU return: the templates (Annex IV of Delegated Regulation 231/2013) and the XSD are ESMA's. No EBA or EIOPA entry applies. Source
Validation rules
The KNF publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: ESMA XSD schemas and an Excel description of field formats.
KNF publishes ESMA's XSD schemas (version 1.2), ESMA's technical guidance and a workbook describing the validation of DATMAN and DATAIF files. No national checks beyond these are described.
How they were counted
Not counted here: the reporting rules are ESMA's AIFMD technical guidance and XSD (ESMA/2013/1358 and ESMA/2013/1361), which KNF republishes.
Counts are in the KNF's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
