Schedule  

Reporting Standard ARS 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books) comprises the 91 pages commencing on the following page.

Reporting Standard ARS 320.0

Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books)

Purpose

1. Data collected in Form ARF 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books) (Form ARF 320.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Application

2.             This reporting standard applies to an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) as set out in the table below.

Information required

3.             An ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 320.0 for each reporting period.

Form and method of submission

4.             The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application.

Note: the Direct to APRA application software may be obtained from APRA.

Reporting periods and due dates

5.             Subject to paragraph 6, an ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide the information required by this reporting standard in respect of each calendar month.

6.             APRA may, by notice in writing change the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular ADI to require it to provide the information:

(a)          more frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the ADI, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more frequently for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI); or

(b)          less frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the ADI and the extent to which it requires prudential supervision, APRA considers it is unnecessary to require the ADI to provide the information as frequently as provided by paragraph 5).

7.             The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA 10 business days after the end of the reporting period to which it relates.

8.             APRA may grant an ADI an extension of a due date in writing, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date on the notice of extension.

Quality control

9.             The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard must be the product of processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI. AGS 1008 ‘Audit Implications of Prudential Reporting Requirements for Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions’, issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provides guidance on the scope and nature of the review and testing required from external auditors. This review and testing must be done on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the data.

10.         The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard must be subject to processes and controls developed by the ADI for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the board and senior management of the ADI to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.

Authorisation

11.         If an ADI submits information under this reporting standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for an officer of the ADI to digitally sign, authorise and encrypt the relevant data. For this purpose, APRA’s certificate authority will issue ‘digital certificates’, for use with the software, to officers of the ADI who have authority from the ADI to transmit the data to APRA.

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

12.         APRA may make minor variations to:

(a)          a form that is part of this reporting standard, and the instructions to such a form, to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; or

(b)          the instructions, to clarify their application to the form

without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.

13.         If APRA makes such a variation it must notify in writing each ADI that is required to report under this reporting standard.

Transitional

14.         An ADI must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:

old reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked in the determination making this reporting standard (being the reporting standard which this reporting standard replaces).

transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:

(a)           which ended before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard; and

(b)           in relation to which the ADI was required, under the old reporting standard, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standard.

Note: for the avoidance of doubt, if an ADI was required to report under an old reporting standard, and the reporting documents were due before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard, the ADI is still required to provide the overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.

General Overview of the Reporting Framework for Collection of the Statements of Financial Position

Reporting entities

A Statement of Financial Position is required for three deemed reporting entities, (generically termed “units”) for each authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) as applicable. The scope of these three reporting “units” is individually outlined below:  

1. Domestic books of the licensed ADI (ARF 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (Domestic books) (ARF 320.0))

This form relates to the Australian books of the Australian licensed ADI and has the following scope:

• is an unconsolidated report of the Australian licensed ADI’s operations/transactions that are booked or recorded inside Australia (with Australian residents and non-residents);
• does not consolidate Australian and offshore controlled entities for the purposes of completing ARF 320.0. A Statement of Financial Position for the consolidated ADI (where applicable) will be collected in ARF 322.0 Statement of Financial Position (Consolidated) (ARF 322.0);
• includes transactions with non-residents that are booked or recorded inside Australia (i.e. on the Australian books) however these are recorded separately in memorandum items on ARF 320.0;
• includes transactions of Australian based offshore banking units of the licensed ADI for this reporting entity (ARF 320.0);
• excludes transactions of overseas-based offshore banking units from this reporting entity (ARF 320.0);
• excludes offshore branches of the Australian licensed ADI from this reporting unit. These are collected separately in ARF 321.0 Statement of Financial Position (Offshore Operations) (ARF 321.0); and
• does not include transactions, assets and liabilities with offshore branches in the body of the form. These should be identified in the separate memo items, “Australian ADI operations: Total amount due from/to overseas operations of the ADI”.

The form must be completed for the Australian branches of overseas parent institutions that meet the above criteria.

The “Domestic books” reporting entity is consistent with the approach of the current Form D.  Transactions with non-residents booked in Australia should not be included with transactions with residents against each asset item. Transactions with non-residents are to be disclosed in aggregate form only, against the appropriate memo items.

Selected memo items have been added to ARF 320.0 to enable the Statement of Financial Position for the ADI licensed entity to be derived monthly on an aggregate basis.  Refer to below to heading licensed entity (ADI).

2.             Offshore operations of the licensed ADI (ARF 321.0)

This form relates to transactions, assets and liabilities booked in overseas branches of the Australian licensed ADI, and has the following scope:

• this reporting unit relates to transactions booked by the overseas branches of the licensed Australian ADI (regardless of the residency status of the customer);
• does not consolidate controlled entities;
• does not include Australian based offshore banking units of the licensed ADI. These should be classified as part of the Domestic books; and
• includes offshore banking units based overseas.

This data is collected to enable APRA to derive a Statement of Financial Position for the ADI licensed entity, without this having to be separately provided by institutions. Intra-company transactions (i.e. between the domestic and offshore operations) are identified to allow this derivation to occur.

Exemptions

Those ADIs that do not have any overseas branches and do not have any material dealings with non-residents are not required to complete the forms for this reporting entity.

3.             Global consolidated operations of the licensed Australian ADI (ARF 322.0)

This form relates to the consolidated operations of the licensed Australian ADI, (incorporating controlled entities, associated entities and joint venture entities of the licensed ADI, both in Australia and overseas). The consolidation process and definitions of controlled entities and associates should be consistent with the requirements of Australian accounting standards.

Exemptions

Those Australian-owned banks and foreign subsidiary banks that do not have any controlled entities are not required to complete the forms for this reporting entity.

Branches of foreign banks are not required to submit forms for this reporting entity.

Reporting framework

Licensed entity (ADI)

A Statement of Financial Position for the Australian licensed ADI entity will be derived by APRA in the following way:

• on a monthly basis, using data from ARF 320.0, total assets and total liabilities for the licensed ADI will be calculated; and
• on a quarterly basis, consolidating ARF 320.0 and ARF 321.0, adjusting for intra-company transactions.

Securitisation deconsolidation principle

Except as otherwise specified in these instructions, the following applies:

1. Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that meets APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120):

(a)          special purpose vehicles (SPVs) holding securitised assets may be treated as non-consolidated independent third parties for regulatory reporting purposes, irrespective of whether the SPVs (or their assets) are consolidated for accounting purposes;

(b)          the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the relevant SPVs may be excluded from the ADI’s reported amounts in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns; and

(c)          the underlying exposures (i.e. the pool) under such a securitisation may be excluded from the calculation of the ADI’s regulatory capital (refer to APS 120). However, the ADI must still hold regulatory capital for the securitisation exposures[1] that it retains or acquires and such exposures are to be reported in Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation or Forms ARF 120.1A to ARF 120.1C IRB – Securitisation (as appropriate). The RWA relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy (ARF 110.0).

2.             Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that does not meet APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120, or the ADI elects to treat the securitised assets as on-balance sheet assets under Prudential Standard APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk or Prudential Standard APS 113 Capital Adequacy: Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk, such exposures are to be reported as on-balance sheet assets in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns. In addition, these exposures must also be reported as a part of the ADI’s total securitised assets within Form ARF 120.2 Securitisation – Supplementary Items.

Reporting Form ARF 320.0

Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books)

Instruction Guide

This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of ARF 320.0.  It provides:

• general directions and notes for preparation and lodgment;
• classification schema;
• sector definitions;
• other definitions; and
• specific instructions.

General directions and notes

Reporting entity

This form is to be completed by all Australian-owned banks, foreign subsidiary banks, branches of foreign banks (other than specialist credit card institutions) and other ADIs on a Domestic books basis.

The Domestic books of Australian-owned banks, foreign subsidiary banks, branches of foreign banks and other ADIs relate to the Australian books of the Australian ADI and has the following scope:

• is an unconsolidated report of the Australian licensed ADI's operations/transactions that are booked inside Australia;

• exclude offshore branches of the Australian licensed ADI from this reporting unit;
• exclude offshore banking units based overseas from this reporting unit;
• do not consolidate Australian and offshore controlled entities or associated entities that are not ADIs;
• include Australian based offshore banking units of the licensed ADI; and
• include transactions with non-residents recorded on Australian books.

Reporting period

The form is to be completed as at the last day of the reporting month. Locally incorporated banks, foreign ADIs and SSPs must submit the completed form to APRA within 10 business days after the end of the relevant reporting month.

Unit of measurement

Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (AASB 121).

The general requirements of AASB 121 for translation are:

1. foreign currency monetary items outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate at the reporting date;[2]
2. foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency must be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction;[3]
3. foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at fair value will be translated at the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined.

Transactions arising under foreign currency derivative contracts at the reporting date must be prepared in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139).  However, those foreign currency derivatives that are not within the scope of AASB 139 (e.g. some foreign currency derivatives that are embedded in other contracts) remain within the scope of AASB 121.

For APRA purposes equity items must be translated using the foreign currency exchange rate at the date of investment or acquisition. Post acquisition changes in equity are required to be translated on the date of the movement.

As foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value, the currency derivative contracts are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.

Exchange differences should be recognised in profit and loss in the period which they arise. For foreign currency derivatives, the exchange differences would be recognised immediately in profit and loss if the hedging instrument is a fair value hedge. For derivatives used in a cash flow hedge, the exchange differences should be recognised directly in equity.

The ineffective portion of the exchange differences in all hedges would be recognised in profit and loss.

4.             translation of financial reports of foreign operations.

A foreign operation is defined in AASB 121 as meaning an entity that is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of a reporting entity, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity.

• Exchange differences relating to foreign currency monetary items that form part of the net investment of an entity in a foreign operation, must be recognised as a separate component of equity.
• Translation of financial reports should otherwise follow the requirements in AASB 121.

Netting

Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are allowed to take advantage of netting agreements in relation to disclosure of data items in this form. Institutions are to comply with the prerequisite for netting outlined in Australian accounting standards AASB 139, AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation (AASB 132), AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (AASB 7) and relevant prudential standards.

Term to maturity

References to ‘term to maturity’ in ARF 320.0 refer to residual term to maturity.

Basis of preparation

Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with Australian accounting standards regarding the measurement of asset, liability and equity items.

Classification schema
