Regulatory order and updating process

Circulars address several topics which are subdivided in chapters by name and abbreviation (i.e., accounting and auditing = CONAU).

Any changes and/or amendments that may be made in each topic are disclosed by communications A, B and C. If a consolidated text for a particular topic was disclosed, successive amendments would enclose the replacement sheets.

Press releases P focus on either clarifying or preliminary information on regulatory or institutional decisions adopted by the BCRA for the benefit of public interest.

Numbering

Circulars are numbered on a sequential basis in terms of the group they belong to (i.e., CREFI 1 or CREFI 2).

Communications A are double numbered:

  • the first number, appearing under the heading, flags the circular group;
  • the second number, in the reference, shows the number of times the circular has been changed.

Communications B and C as well as press releases P only bear a sequential number.
