3. This Reporting Standard is an Economic and Financial Statistics (EFS) Reporting Standard for the purposes of Reporting Standard ARS 701.0 ABS/RBA Definitions for the EFS Collection (ARS 701.0).
Application and commencement

This Reporting Standard applies to an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) or registered financial corporation (RFC) as set out in the table below, where ‘repos and securities lending’ is measured by the sum of the values reported in items 10.4 and 18.6 on Reporting Form ARF 720.0A/B Statement of Financial Position (Standard)/(Reduced) (ARF 720.0A/B).
Class of financial institution | Applicable |
ADIs | Yes if repos & securities lending ≥ $1b |
RFCs | Yes if repos & securities lending ≥ $1b |
5. APRA may from time to time determine that a higher threshold will apply to a particular ADI or RFC than that specified in paragraph 4 of this Reporting Standard. If APRA does so it will notify the ADI or RFC concerned in writing.
6. This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 30 September 2021.
Information required

(a) the particular circumstances of the ADI or RFC; and
(b) the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the ABS or RBA.
13. APRA may grant an ADI or RFC 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
