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 720.4 ABS/RBA Debt Securities Held (ARF 720.4) is used by the ABS and RBA for various purposes, including the compilation of Australia’s National Accounts and the calculation of the monetary and credit aggregates. 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 31 March 2019.\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\nMinor alterations to forms and instructions\n\n16. 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\nwithout changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.\n\n17. If APRA makes such a variation it must notify in writing each ADI or RFC that is required to report under this Reporting Standard.\n\nInterpretation\n\n18. Terms that are defined in ARS 701.0 appear in bold and italics in this Reporting Standard.\n\n19. 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\n20. 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_4: ABS/RBA Debt Securities Held |\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| | Total | of which: Denominated in FX (AUD equivalent) |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------- |\n| | (1) | (2) |\n| 1.

ARF 720.4 collects information relating to debt securities held by ADIs and RFCs.\n\nInformation reported in ARF 720.4 is required primarily for purposes of the ABS and the RBA. Items on ARF 720.4 are required for various purposes, including the compilation of Australia’s National Accounts and the calculation of the monetary and credit aggregates. Information reported in ARF 720.4 may be used by APRA for prudential and publication purposes.\n\nReporting level\n\nARF 720.4 must be completed by each ADI and RFC to which this Reporting Standard applies under paragraphs 4 or 5.\n\nReporting basis and unit of measurement\n\nThese instructions specify the reporting basis and unit of measurement that applies to each item.\n\nItems on ARF 720.4 must be reported as at the end of the reporting period.\n\nFor reporting purposes, unless specified otherwise, enter data as a positive number.\n\nCounterparties\n\nDebt securities issued by residents and non-residents are separately identified. Note that this treatment differs from Reporting Form ARF 720.0A ABS/RBA Statement of Financial Position (Standard) (ARF 720.0A) where debt securities issued by non-residents are not separately identified.\n\nInclude debt securities issued by related parties and non-related parties. Note that this treatment differs from the ARF 720.0A where debt securities issued by related parties are reported separately.\n\nValues\n\nReport closing balances at market prices effective at the reference date. Where denominated in foreign currency, convert market values in foreign currency to AUD at the spot rate effective as at the reference date. This valuation approach for debt securities on the ARF 720.4 may differ from the Australian Accounting Standards and ARF 720.0A depending on the classification of these assets in your institution’s statutory accounts.\n\nReport items on ARF 720.4 adjusted for the value of short-sold positions. That is, report the value of securities held less the value of securities short-sold. Do not include unsettled trades.\n\nReport items on ARF 720.4 as whole dollars.\n\nStandard Business Reporting (SBR)\n\nReport items on ARF 720.4 with accounting type of debit (assets). The accounting type (i.e. credit or debit) applies to all monetary items and represents the natural accounting treatment of the item collected.\n\nSpecific instructions\n\nTerms highlighted in bold italics are defined in ARS 701.0.\n\nAll derived fields in the form are shaded in grey and are explained in words as a mathematical expression in these instructions.\n\nExamples included under ‘Include’ and ‘Exclude’ must not be taken as an exhaustive list of items to be included or excluded.\n\n1. Total short-term debt securities held\n\nItem 1 collects information on the value of short-term debt securities held by the ADI or RFC by the counterparty of the issuer.\n\nShort-term debt securities are all securities held for trading and securities not held for trading with an original maturity less than or equal to 12 months.\n\n| Column 1 | Report the market value of debt securities with an original maturity of 12 months or less. |\n| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Column 2 | Of the amount reported in column 1, report the value that is denominated in foreign currency. |\n\n| Item 1 | Report short-term debt securities held.Item 1 is a derived item.
