Report Submission stage allows the BSFI to submit reports required under existing regulations. 2. Amendment stage allows the BSFI to amend or revise a successfully validated report. 3. Assessment stage allows the BSFI to receive and reply to correspondence and communications from the BSP. B. The reference component is composed of the following sections: 1. Report List section allows the BSFI to view and download new or enhanced reporting templates and relevant BSP issuances. 2.
