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.\n\nFor 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.\n\nAs foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value, the currency derivative contracts are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.\n\nExchange 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.\n\nThe ineffective portion of the exchange differences in all hedges would be recognised in profit and loss; and\n\n4. translation of financial reports of foreign operations.\n\nA 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.\n\n-   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.\n-   Translation of financial reports should otherwise follow the requirements in AASB 121.\n\n## Netting\n\nUnless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are allowed to take advantage of netting agreements in relation to disclosure of data items in this form.

The RWA relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy (ARF 110.0).\n\n2. 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.\n\n## Reporting period\n\nThe form is to be completed as at the last day of the stated reporting quarter (i.e. September, December, March and June). Australia-owned banks, foreign subsidiary banks and other ADIs must submit the completed form to APRA within 25 business days after the end of the relevant reporting quarter. Credit Unions, Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited, Building Societies and SCCIs must submit the completed form to APRA within 15 business days after the end of the relevant reporting quarter.\n\n## Unit of measurement\n\nAustralia-owned banks and foreign subsidiary banks are asked to complete the form in millions of Australian dollars rounded to one decimal place. Other ADIs, Building Societies, Credit Unions, SCCIs and Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited are asked to complete the form in whole Australian dollars (no decimal place).\n\nAmounts 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).\n\nThe general requirements of AASB 121 for translation are:\n\n1.  foreign currency monetary items outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate at the reporting date;[\\[3\\]](#_ftn3)\n2.  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;[\\[4\\]](#_ftn4)\n3.  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.\n\nTransactions 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), AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure (AASB 7) and AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. 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.\n\nFor 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.\n\nAs foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value, the currency derivative contracts are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.\n\nExchange 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.\n\nThe ineffective portion of the exchange differences in all hedges would be recognised in profit and loss; and\n\n4. translation of financial reports of foreign operations.\n\nA 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.\n\n-   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.\n-   Translation of financial reports should otherwise follow the requirements in AASB 121.\n\n## Netting\n\nUnless 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 7, and AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and any relevant prudential standards.\n\n## Term to maturity\n\nAny references to ‘term to maturity’ in Form ARF 322.0 Statement of Financial Position (Consolidated) (ARF 322.0) refer to residual term to maturity.\n\n## Basis of preparation\n\nThe nature of the disclosure and format of this form may not be strictly consistent with the annual financial statements prepared by the institution. Notwithstanding this, in completing this form (unless otherwise specifically stated for individual items of assets, liabilities or equity), institutions are requested to follow the basis that is used for the preparation of its annual financial statements in accordance with the Australian accounting standards, specifically in regard to the:\n\n-   interpretation/definition of specific asset, liability and equity items;\n-   appropriate measurement basis for asset, liability and equity items; and\n-   netting of financial assets and financial liabilities.\n\nIf additional clarification is required for specific asset, liability or equity items in ARF 322.0, reference should be made to the instructions provided for ARF 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books), ARF 321.0 Statement of Financial Position (Offshore Operations) and ARF 323.0 Statement of Financial Position (Licensed ADI) as appropriate.\n\nSpecific instructions\n\nSection D: Additional information required by APRA\n\n1\\. to 5.\n\nProvide a summary of financial assets and liabilities balances categorised in accordance with AASB 139.\n\nIn item 1, financial assets available-for-sale include as part of loans and advances those “tainted” held-to-maturity investments that can no longer be classified as held-to-maturity investments.\n\n6. Reconciliation of loan loss provisions\n\nThis section reconciles the amounts disclosed as loan loss provisions under International Financial Reporting Standards with APRA reporting on a gross basis.
