CBN Clause Registry

When a procedure satisfies a Central Bank of Nigeria requirement, the page must cite the clause verbatim in its cbn_clauses: frontmatter. This page is the canonical list of clause names used across CBA Operations.

Why this matters: the CBN audit-pack PDF groups procedures by clause. If two pages cite the same clause with slightly different wording (§11.3 vs §11.3.), they show up as separate entries in the audit pack and the inspector flags it as inconsistent. Copy from this page.

How to add a clause

  1. Pull the official source — cba-platform/docs/cbn/ mirrors the regulator's PDFs.
  2. Use the canonical short form: <Document Title> (<Year>) §<Section>.
  3. Add a one-line description so contributors know what the clause covers.
  4. Submit a PR adding the row to the table below.

Coverage check: This registry is intentionally not exhaustive yet. As we author each persona's procedures, we cite the clause; if it's not in this registry, we add it. Target end-state: every active CBA operations procedure citing at least one clause where a regulator clause applies.
