  • UG-2.3 UG-2.3 Format and page layout

    • Headers

      • UG-2.3.1

        The top of each page in the Rulebook identifies the Volume, Module and Chapter in question. Each Module is a separate document. New Chapters start on a fresh page.

    • Footers

      • UG-2.3.2

        The bottom of each page in the Rulebook (on the left hand side) identifies the Module in question, its section and page number. Page numbering starts afresh for each Section: the total number of pages in each respective Section is shown as well as the individual page number. The bottom right hand side shows an issue date. The Contents Page for each Module is given its own separate version number. In addition, the Contents page lists the latest issue date for each Section in that Module. The Contents page thus acts as a summary checklist of the current version in force for each section. Further explanation is provided in Section UG-3.1 below.

    • Defined terms

      • UG-2.3.3

        Defined terms used in the Rulebook are underlined. Each Volume has its own glossary listing defined terms and giving their meaning. Definitions of terms used apply only to the Volume in question. It is possible for the same term to be used in a different Volume with a different meaning.

    • Cross-references

      • UG-2.3.4

        Cross-references are highlighted in yellow. Two active cross-references are shown in Paragraph UG-2.3.5 below. Any cross-references given in a text state the Module code, followed by the numbering convention for the chapter and section being referred to. For example, the cross-reference FC-1.2.3 refers to the third Paragraph in the second Section of the first Chapter of the Financial Crimes Module. Many references will be quite general, referring to a Module or Chapter rather than a specific Paragraph.

    • Text format

      • UG-2.3.5

        Each paragraph is assigned a complete reference to the Module, Chapter, and Section, as well as its own paragraph number, as explained in UG-2.3.4 above. The format of the paragraph reference and paragraph text indicates their status as either a Rule or Guidance, as explained in UG-1.2.4 above.
