Reporting Standard ARS 111.0
Fair Values
Objective of this Reporting Standard
This Reporting Standard sets out the requirements for the provision of information to APRA relating to an authorised deposit-taking institution’s fair value measurement. It includes Form ARF 111.0 Fair Values and associated instructions and should be read in conjunction with Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy and Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital.
Authority
- This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.
Purpose
2. Information collected in Form ARF 111.0 Fair Values (ARF 111.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision, including assessing compliance with Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy (APS 110) and Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS 111). It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Application and commencement
3. This Reporting Standard applies to all authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) other than branches of foreign banks and providers of purchased payment facilities. This Reporting Standard may also apply to the non-operating holding company (NOHC) of an ADI (refer to paragraph 5). This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 April 2023.
Information required
4. An ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by the version of ARF 111.0 designated for an ADI at Level 1 for each reporting period.
5. If an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies is part of a Level 2 group, the ADI must also provide APRA with the information required by the version of ARF 111.0 designated for an ADI at Level 2 for each reporting period, unless the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC. If the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC, the ADI’s immediate parent NOHC must provide APRA with the information required by that form for each reporting period. In doing so, the immediate parent NOHC must comply with this Reporting Standard (other than paragraphs 4 and 11) as if it were the relevant ADI.
Method of submission
6. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA:
(a) in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website; or
(b) by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
Reporting periods and due dates
7. Subject to paragraph 8, an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of each quarter based on the financial year (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001) of the ADI.
8. APRA may, by notice in writing, vary the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular ADI, to require it to provide the information required by this Reporting Standard more frequently, or less frequently, having regard to:
(i) the particular circumstances of the ADI;
(ii) the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI; or
(iii) the requirements of the Reserve Bank of Australia or the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
9. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided to APRA in accordance with the table below. The right hand column of the table sets out the number of business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates, within which information must be submitted to APRA by an ADI in each of the classes set out in the same row in the left hand column.
Class of ADI | Number of business days |
Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced | 30 |
Bank – Standardised | 20 |
Branch of a Foreign Bank | Not applicable |
Building Society | 15 |
Credit Union | 15 |
Provider of Purchased Payment Facilities | Not applicable |
Other ADI | 20 |
10. APRA may grant an ADI an extension, in writing, of a due date, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date on the notice of extension.
Quality control
11. The information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard (except for the information required under paragraph 5) must be the produced by processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI once the ADI is required to comply with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement for public reporting in Australia. Guidance Statement GS 012 Prudential Reporting Requirements for Auditors of 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 occur at least annually and more frequently if necessary for the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the information.
12. All 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 information submitted to APRA is in place.
Authorisation
13. When an ADI submits information under this Reporting Standard, it will be necessary for an officer of the ADI to digitally sign, authorise and encrypt the relevant information. 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 information to APRA.
Minor alterations to forms and instructions
14. 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 a form, to clarify their application to the form,
without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.
15. If APRA makes such a variation it must notify, in writing, each ADI that is required to report under this Reporting Standard.
Transition
16. 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; and
transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:
(a) that 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 any overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.

Reporting Forms ARF 111.0.1 and ARF 111.0.2
Fair Values
Instruction Guide
This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of the following forms:
(a) Form ARF 111.0.1 Fair Values (Level 1); and
(b) Form ARF 111.0.2 Fair Values (Level 2).
These forms set out the disclosure of certain information relating to assets and liabilities that are held at fair value by an ADI at Level 1 and Level 2.
General directions and notes
Reporting entity
The forms are to be completed at Level 1 and Level 2 by all ADIs other than branches of a foreign bank and providers of purchased payment facilities.
If an ADI is a subsidiary of a NOHC, the report at Level 2 is to be provided by the ADI’s immediate parent NOHC.
Securitisation deconsolidation principle
Except as otherwise specified in these instructions, the following applies:
- 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 regulatory capital (refer to APS 120). However, the ADI must still hold regulatory capital for the securitisation exposures that it retains or acquires and such exposures are to be reported in Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation (ARF 120.0) or Forms ARF 120.1A to ARF 120.1C IRB – Securitisation (ARF 120.1A, ARF 120.1B and ARF 120.1C) (as appropriate). The risk-weighted assets (RWA) relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy.
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 (APS 112) or Prudential Standard APS 113 Capital Adequacy: Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk (APS 113), 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 (ARF 120.2).
The forms are to be completed as at the last day of the stated reporting period (i.e. the relevant quarter). The following table specifies the number of business days after the end of the relevant reporting period within which each class of ADI must submit data to APRA.
Class of ADI | Number of business days |
Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced | 30 |
Bank – Standardised | 20 |
Building Society | 15 |
Credit Union | 15 |
Other ADI | 20 |
An immediate parent NOHC must submit data to APRA within the same timeframe as its subsidiary ADI.
Where both ‘Bank – Standardised’ and ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ reporting requirements and timeframes apply to an ADI
In the following cases an Australian-owned bank or a foreign subsidiary bank must meet reporting requirements and timeframes applicable to both a ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ and a ‘Bank – Standardised’:
(a) where the ADI is operating under the standardised approaches to credit and operational risk, but has applied for IRB and AMA approval, in which case the ADI will be both a ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ and a ‘Bank – Standardised’; and
(b) where the ADI has received IRB and/or AMA approval in respect of most (but not all) of its operations, and has approval for partial use of the standardised approaches to credit and/or operational risk for the remainder of its operations.
Such an ADI must report under the ARF 111.0.1 and ARF 111.0.2 (the forms) as follows:
Description of ADI | Reporting requirement | Timeframes for lodgement |
ADI uses the standardised approaches to credit and operational risk, but has applied to adopt IRB and AMA approaches for all its operations | Report under the forms (for purposes of calculating regulatory capital on the basis of the standardised approaches only) | ‘Bank – Standardised’ timeframe (within 20 business days) |
| Separately report under the forms as if IRB/AMA approval given (for purposes of assessing prospective regulatory capital calculation after IRB/AMA approval (i.e. ‘parallel run’ of data)) | ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ timeframe (within 30 business days) |
ADI uses the standardised approaches to credit and operational risk but has applied to adopt the IRB and AMA approach for most (but not all) of its operations (or APRA has indicated that it does not propose to grant IRB and/or AMA approval in respect of all of the ADI’s operations) | Report under the forms (for purposes of calculating regulatory capital on the basis of the standardised approaches only) | ‘Bank – Standardised’ timeframe (within 20 business days) |
| Separately report under the forms as if approval given for IRB/AMA with partial use (for purposes of assessing prospective regulatory capital calculation after IRB/AMA approval (i.e. ‘parallel run’ of data)). (This report must cover both operations that will be under IRB/AMA approaches and operations that will remain under standardised approaches.) | ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ timeframe (within 30 business days) |
ADI has IRB and/or AMA approval, but some operations remain under a Basel II standardised approach | Report under the forms in respect of all operations using the relevant approaches (for purposes of calculating regulatory capital) | ‘Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced’ timeframe (within 30 business days) |
Class of ADI | Units |
Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced | Millions of dollars rounded to one decimal place |
Bank – Standardised | Millions of dollars rounded to one decimal place |
Building Society | Whole dollars with no decimal place |
Credit Union | Whole dollars with no decimal place |
Other ADI | Whole dollars with no decimal place |
An immediate parent NOHC must complete this form in AUD in accordance with the same units as its subsidiary ADI.
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).
Basis of preparation
Unless otherwise specifically stated, ADIs are to comply with Australian Accounting Standards regarding the measurement of asset, liability and equity items.

Derived field calculated as the sum of items 4.1 to 4.4.
6. Transfers between levels in fair value hierarchy
6.1 Transfers into Level 1 fair value hierarchy
Report any transfers of assets from Level 2 or Level 3 into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy during the reporting period in the relevant boxes.
