Validation rules

The SFC 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: The same general Plan Único de Cuentas arithmetic and structural checks described for Formato 281 (see Capítulo XVI of the Circular Básica Contable y Financiera)..

Whether every cell of this format is covered was not checked line by line so far.

The rules, on superfinanciera.gov.co

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