Data collected in each version of Form GRF 110.0 is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing an insurer’s compliance with the capital standards.\n\n# Application and commencement\n\n2. This reporting standard applies to all insurers for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2008.\n\n# Information required\n\n3.

The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA either:\n\n(a) in electronic form using the ‘Direct to APRA’ application, applying one of the electronic submission mechanisms under that application; or\n\n(b) by manually completing Form GRF 110.0 on paper and mailing the completed form to APRA’s head office at Level 26, 400 George Street, Sydney, New South Wales.\n\nWhere the information is submitted by means of an agent to whom the insurer has outsourced the function of providing the information on the insurer’s behalf, the agent may only provide the information in accordance with subparagraph 5(b) if the agent has contacted APRA and advised that the agent cannot submit the information in electronic form under subparagraph 5(a).\n\nNote: The ‘Direct to APRA’ application software and paper forms may be obtained from APRA.\n\nReporting periods and due dates\n\n5.

Under subsection 49J(3), the auditor must give the insurer a certificate relating to the yearly statutory accounts, and that certificate must specify the matters provided for in the prudential standards.\n\n6. APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular insurer to require it to provide the information:\n\n(a) more frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the insurer, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more frequently for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the insurer); or\n\n(b) less frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the insurer and the extent to which it requires prudential supervision, APRA considers it unnecessary to require the insurer to provide the information as frequently as provided by subparagraph 6(a) or (b)).\n\n7.
