The information required on an annual basis must be reported as at the last day of the reporting period on a financial year-to-date basis of the MDO.\n\nFor half-yearly reporting (that is, the half-year that does not correspond with the MDO’s financial year end), MDOs must lodge a form within 20 business days of the end of that six month period.\n\nAudit Requirements\n\nThis form must be subject to audit review and testing on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the data. The auditor must provide a certificate to the MDO specifying whether, in their opinion, the data provided by the MDO are reliable. The MDO must submit this certificate to APRA on an annual basis.\n\nThe scope and nature of audit testing required is outlined in the applicable Auditing and Assurance Guidance Statement issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.\n\nDefinitions\n\nDefinitions for data reporting items required by this form have been provided where possible in the instructions under the section headed ‘Specific Instructions’.\n\nBasis of Preparation\n\nUnit of Measurement\n\nThis form is to be prepared in thousands of Australian dollars (AUD).

Interest must be recognised and measured in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards. This will mean that interest income is recognised on an accrual basis, unless the asset is considered to be impaired / non-performing in which interest is to be recognised on a cash basis. Include:\n\n-   Coupon payments from fixed interest securities (i.e. Commonwealth Govt Bonds)\n-   Earnings on discounted securities (i.e. bank accepted bills)\n-   Interest from deposits with banks and non-bank financial intermediaries\n-   Interest from loans and advances (to related and unrelated entities)\n-   Interest on finance leases\n\nFor the purposes of this form, interest income is to be disclosed into the following categories:\n\n-   Parent/controlled entities\n-   Other related parties\n-   Derivatives - report the interest received/receivable in relation to derivative positions e.g. from swap contracts. If interest income from derivative contracts is with the parent/controlled entities or other related entities, report interest income under the appropriate headings above, do not duplicate reporting under this heading.\n-   Other\n\nDividend\n\nDividend is the income receivable on assets such as shares, units and trusts. Report dividend income as per the categories detailed on the form.\n\nRental income\n\nRent is the income receivable on assets such as land and property.

Report trust income as per the categories on the form.\n\nOther distributions\n\nInclude any distributions received or receivable not reported elsewhere. Report other distributions as per the categories on the form.\n\nForeign exchange gains/losses (realised and unrealised) on investments:\n\n-   Investments (other than derivatives)\n\nReport realised and unrealised currency exchange gains/losses relating to the translation/conversion into Australian currency of investments (e.g. every investment other than derivative positions) denominated in a currency other than the Australian currency. Do not report the gains and losses attributable to the movement in the fair value of the underlying investments that are denominated in a foreign currency, these are reported below under “Change in net fair value of investments”. Only report the gain/loss that is attributable to movements in the currency value the investments are denominated in, respective to the Australian currency.\n\n-   Derivatives\n\nReport exchange gains/losses relating to the currency translation/conversion in the Australian currency of derivative contracts held in relation to the underlying investment portfolios (e.g. as hedges of the interest rate or equity investment portfolios or as outright position taking - altering the asset allocation strategy). Do not report the gains and losses attributable to the movement in the fair value of the derivative position that are denominated in a foreign currency, these are reported below under “Change in net fair value of investments”. Only report the gain/loss that is attributable to movements in the currency value that the derivative contract is denominated in, respective to the AUD.\n\nChange in fair value of investments\n\n(a) Unrealised gains/losses\n\nChange in fair value is the increase or decrease in the fair value of each asset compared to the value of that asset at the beginning of the reporting period. These assets are still owned by the MDO at the end of the period, they have not been sold as a result the gains or losses on the assets are termed unrealised. If the assets are sold during the reporting period, then the gains or losses are realised and are to be disclosed separately under part (b) “Realised gains/losses”.\n\nOnly include the movement in the fair value of the asset. Do not include the movement in the value of the currency comparative to the AUD if the asset is denominated in a currency other than the AUD. Movements in value attributable to the movements in the currency exchange rates are to be separately disclosed under the heading “Foreign exchange gains/losses (realised and unrealised)”.\n\nFor the purposes of this form unrealised gains/losses must be reported in the following categories:\n\nDirect Investments:\n\nThis relates to investments where the MDO holds direct title/ownership of the underlying asset (i.e. holding of debt securities, listed equity securities, freehold property).\n\n-   Interest rate investments\n\nDo not include unrealised gains/losses on interest rate related derivative contracts.

Do not include unrealised or realised movements in foreign currency derivative contracts, as these are to be separately disclosed under the heading “Foreign exchange gains / losses (realised and unrealised)”.\n\nIndirect Investments:\n\nThis relates to investments where the MDO does not hold direct title/ownership of underlying assets (i.e. holding of units in listed or unlisted unit trusts).\n\n-   Units in trusts / managed investment vehicles\n\nDisclose the change in fair value (unrealised gain/loss) of holdings of units in trusts or other management investment vehicles.\n\n(b) Realised gains/losses\n\nChange in fair value is the increase or decrease in the fair value of each asset at the date of its disposal, compared to the value of that asset at the beginning of the reporting period or when last revaluation recognised. These assets have been sold and as a result the gains or losses on the assets are termed realised. If the assets have not been sold during the reporting period, then the gains or losses are unrealised and are to be disclosed separately under part (a) “Unrealised gains/losses”.\n\nOnly include the movement in the fair value of the asset. Do not include the movement in the value of the currency comparative to the AUD if the asset is denominated in a currency other than the AUD.
