Centralized System of Information Requirements (SISCEN)
The Centralized System of Information Requirements (SISCEN) organizes the reception and management of the information that financial institutions report to the BCRA. It is structured in two main modules:
Data transmission standards
It defines the standardization of the procedures for the transmission of data by financial institutions through the Data Transmission System (DTS).
Information Schemes
It establishes the standards defined by the Monetary Statistics Management of the BCRA for the different information schemes, detailing the structure of the tables and the required data.
Table 10: Account Matching
Table 10: Correspondence of accounts presents the relationship between the accounts defined in SISCEN and the minimum chart of accounts in force, facilitating the reading and linking between both accounting schemes.
