Validation
Check current regulation/master circular/exchange format, field taxonomy, signatory and filing channel.
Evidence
Approved source data, signed/XBRL filing, acknowledgement, error report, correction and retained version.
Practical example
The preparer builds the filing from controlled source systems, obtains required approvals, validates totals and cross-references, files through the prescribed channel and retains the acknowledgement plus any correction trail.
Implementation and evidence controls
- Freeze the applicable entity class, product, transaction date and official instrument version.
- Map every control to its legal owner, enabling provision, responsible function, evidence and escalation route.
- Retain Board/committee approval, policy version, system configuration, maker-checker evidence, exception approval and regulatory filing acknowledgement.
- Re-test the control after an amendment, product change, outsourcing change, merger, customer-risk reclassification or supervisory observation.
