Appendix (B): Generic Guidance for Developing Sampling Methodology

Effective from 3/4/2025
The selection methodology of the sample size should cover, among others, the following aspects:
a.transactions of different sizes such as, small, medium and large transactions,
b.transactions executed via different distribution channels and in different geographical areas,
c.transactions executed with different customers,
d.transactions executed in different currencies (if applicable),
The selected transactions should be distributed throughout the period covered by the review exercise in accordance with the adopted methodology, such as equal distribution of samples across the period covered by the review exercise, or uneven distribution whereby transactions executed in certain periods may be deemed more vulnerable to the SNC risk and for that reason larger sample will be collected to ensure fair representation of the executed transactions in it during the time covered by the review.
