It should be read in conjunction with the versions of Form ARF 330.3 Other Operating Expenses designated for a ‘Licensed ADI’ and ‘Consolidated Group’ and the instructions to each version of the form (all of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard).\n\n# Purpose\n\n1.  Data collected in Form ARF 330.3 Other Operating Expenses (Form ARF 330.3) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.\n\n# Application\n\n2. This reporting standard applies to all authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs).\n\n# Information required\n\n3. An ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by the version of Form ARF 330.3 designated for a ‘Licensed ADI’ for each reporting period.\n\n4. An ADI to which this reporting standard applies that is a highest parent entity in relation to a consolidated ADI group must also provide APRA the information required by the version of Form ARF 330.3 designated for a ‘Consolidated Group’ for each reporting period.\n\n# Form and method of submission\n\n5. The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application.\n\nNote: the Direct to APRA application software may be obtained from APRA.\n\n# Reporting periods and due dates\n\n6. Subject to paragraph 7, an ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide the information required by this reporting standard for each quarter based on the financial year (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001) of the ADI.\n\n7. APRA may, by notice in writing, change 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:\n\n(a) the particular circumstances of the ADI;\n\n(b) the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI; and\n\n(c) the requirements of the Reserve Bank of Australia or the Australian Bureau of Statistics.\n\n8. 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 the classes set out in the left hand column.\n\n| Class of ADI                              | Number of business days |\n| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |\n| Australian-owned Bank                     | 25                      |\n| Foreign Subsidiary Bank                   | 25                      |\n| Branch of a Foreign Bank                  | 25                      |\n| Building Society                          | 15                      |\n| Credit Union[1]                           | 15                      |\n| Specialist Credit Card Institution (SCCI) | 15                      |\n| Other ADI                                 | 25                      |\n\n9. APRA may grant an ADI 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\n# Quality control\n\n10. The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard (except for the information required under paragraph 4) must be the product of processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI. AGS 1008 ‘Audit Implications of Prudential Reporting Requirements for 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 be done on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the data.\n\n11. 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 data submitted to APRA is in place.\n\n# Authorisation\n\n12. If an ADI submits information under this reporting standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for an officer of the ADI to digitally sign, authorise and encrypt the relevant data. 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 data to APRA.\n\n# Minor alterations to forms and instructions\n\n13. APRA may make minor variations to:\n\n> (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\n\n> (b) the instructions to a form, to clarify their application to the form\n\n> without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.\n\n14. If APRA makes such a variation it must notify in writing each ADI that is required to report under this reporting standard.\n\n# Transitional\n\n15. An ADI must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:\n\nold reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked in the determination making this reporting standard (being the reporting standard which this reporting standard replaces).\n\ntransitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:\n\n(a) which ended before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard; and\n\n(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.\n\nNote: 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 the overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.\n\n# Interpretation\n\n16.
