Canonical Statement
Exchange exports are supporting evidence and MUST be evaluated for completeness, provenance, and consistency; they do not automatically constitute authoritative records in isolation.
Definition
Within this framework, exchange records are evidentiary inputs that require provenance capture, completeness checks, and reconciliation against other records for high-impact compliance decisions.
Why It Matters
Export artefacts are operationally useful but can be incomplete or inconsistent. Treating them as self-authenticating records creates false confidence.
Failure Mode if Ignored
Unverified exports drive conclusions, key activity lines are missed, and unresolved inconsistencies are not governed through documented resolution.
Scope & Non-Claims
This entry is scoped to regulated banking environments in the EU/UK and operational interpretation for exchange-record evidence handling.
This entry does not provide legal advice, does not treat exports as sufficient verification by default, and requires human validation for final compliance determinations.
