This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.\n\nPurpose\n\n2. Information collected by Reporting Form ARF 720.3 ABS/RBA Intra-group Assets and Liabilities (ARF 720.3) is used by the ABS and RBA for various purposes, including the compilation of Australia’s National Accounts. This information may also be used by APRA for prudential and publication purposes.\n\n3. 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).\n\nApplication and commencement\n\n4. This Reporting Standard applies to an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) or registered financial corporation (RFC) as set out in the table below, where ‘total assets’ are measured by the value reported in item 13 (column 1) on Reporting Form ARF 720.0A ABS/RBA Statement of Financial Position (Standard) (ARF 720.0A).\n\n| Class of financial institution | Applicable                  |\n| ------------------------------ | --------------------------- |\n| ADI Reporting Category A       | No                          |\n| ADI Reporting Category B       | Yes                         |\n| RFCs                           | Yes if total assets ≥ $500m |\n\n5. APRA may from time to time determine that a threshold, or a higher threshold than that specified in paragraph 4 of this Reporting Standard will apply to a particular ADI or RFC. If APRA does so, it will notify the ADI or RFC concerned in writing.\n\n6. This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 30 September 2021.\n\nInformation required\n\n7. An ADI or RFC to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by this Reporting Standard for each reporting period on a domestic books consolidation.\n\nMethod of submission\n\n8. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA in electronic format, using the ‘Direct to APRA’ application or by a method (i.e. a web-based solution) notified by APRA, in writing, prior to submission.\n\nNote: the Direct to APRA application software (also known as D2A) may be obtained from APRA.\n\nReporting periods and due dates\n\n9. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided by an ADI or RFC to which this Reporting Standard applies under paragraphs 4 or 5:\n\n(a) in respect of each calendar month by an ADI; and\n\n(b) in respect of each quarter ended 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December by an RFC.\n\n10. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided to APRA within:\n\n(a) 10 business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates for ADIs; and\n\n(b) 28 calendar days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates for RFCs.[\\[1\\]](#_ftn1)\n\n11. APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular ADI or RFC, to require it to provide the information required by this Reporting Standard more frequently, or less frequently, having regard to:\n\n(a) the particular circumstances of the ADI or RFC; and\n\n(b) the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the ABS or RBA.\n\n12. 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.\n\nQuality control\n\n13. All information provided by an ADI or RFC under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI or RFC as set out in Prudential Standard APS 310 Audit and Related Matters for ADIs or Reporting Standard RRS 710.0 ABS/RBA Audit Requirements for Registered Financial Corporations for RFCs. Relevant standards and guidance statements issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provide information 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 required by the external auditor to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the information provided by an ADI or RFC under this Reporting Standard.\n\n14. All information provided by an ADI or RFC under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the ADI or RFC for the internal review and authorisation of that information. These systems, processes and controls are to assure the completeness and reliability of the information provided.\n\nAuthorisation\n\n15. When an officer or agent of an ADI or RFC submits information under this Reporting Standard and uses the D2A application, or other method notified by APRA, it will be necessary for the officer or agent to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate or other digital identity credential acceptable to APRA.\n\nInterpretation\n\n16. Terms that are defined in ARS 701.0 appear in bold and italics in this Reporting Standard.\n\n17. In this Reporting Standard:\n\ndue date means the last day of the 10 business days or 28 calendar days provided for in paragraph 10 or, if applicable, the date on a notice of extension given under paragraph 12.\n\nreporting period means a month of a year or a quarter ended 31 March, 30 June, 30 September or 31 December as provided for in paragraph 9 or, if applicable, the date on a notice given under paragraph 11.\n\n18. Unless the contrary intention appears, any reference to an Act, Prudential Standard, Reporting Standard, Australian Accounting or Auditing Standard is a reference to the instrument as in force or existing from time to time.\n\n| ARF_720_3: ABS/RBA Intra-group Assets and Liabilities |\n| ----------------------------------------------------- |\n\n| Australian Business Number | Institution Name |\n| -------------------------- | ---------------- |\n|                            |                  |\n| Reporting Period           | Scale Factor     |\n| Monthly/quarterly          |                  |\n| Reporting Consolidation    |                  |\n| Domestic                   |                  |\n\n| Intra-group assets - by asset type |\n| ---------------------------------- |\n\n|                                                                      | Total | of which: Denominated in FX (AUD equivalent) |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------- |\n|                                                                      | (1)   | (2)                                          |\n| 1.1.
