This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001 (the Collection of Data Act). It requires credit unions, building societies and Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited, to report to APRA, in relation to their statement of financial position.
This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of relevant information to APRA. It should be read in conjunction with:
Form ARF 323.0 Statement of Financial Position (Licensed ADI) (Form ARF 323.0) and the associated instructions (which are attached and all form part of this reporting standard).
Purpose
Data collected in Form ARF 323.0 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.
Application and commencement
This reporting standard applies to credit unions, building societies, specialist credit card institutions and Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited, and shall begin to apply to those entities on the later of 1 July 2005 and the date of registration on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments.
Information required
A relevant ADI must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 323.0 for each relevant reporting period.
Forms and method of submission
The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA either:
(a) in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application; or
(b) manually completed on paper, which must be faxed or mailed to APRA’s head office.
Note: the Direct to APRA application software and paper forms may be obtained from APRA.
Reporting periods and due dates
Subject to paragraph 6, a relevant ADI must provide APRA with the information required by this reporting standard in respect of the following reporting periods:
(a) in the case of a relevant ADI that is a Monetary Aggregates Reporter:
(i) each calendar month (including the month during which the ADI became a Monetary Aggregates Reporter); and
(ii) each quarter based on the financial year, within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001, of the ADI (including the quarter during which the ADI became a Monetary Aggregates Reporter); and
Division The ADI list - Financial Sector (Collection of Data) determination No. 39 of 2005 - Reporting Standard ARS 323.0 (2005) - Statement of Financial Position (Licensed ADI) - The ADI list | Zoe
(b) in the case of a relevant ADI that it not a Monetary Aggregates Reporter, each quarter based on the financial year, within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001, of the ADI.
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:
(a) more frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the ADI, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more frequently for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI); or
(b) less frequently (if, having regard to the particular circumstances of the ADI and the extent to which it requires prudential supervision, APRA considers it is unnecessary to require the ADI to provide the information as frequently as provided by paragraph 5).
The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA by the following times:
(a) in the case of monthly information referred to in sub-subparagraph 5(a)(i) – 10 business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates; and
(b) in the case of quarterly information referred to in sub-subparagraphs 5(a)(ii) and subparagraph 5(b) – 15 business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates.
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.
Quality control
The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard 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 Assurances Standards Board of the Australian Accounting Research Foundation, 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.
The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard must also 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.
Authorisation
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.
If information provided under this reporting standard is provided in paper form, it must be signed by either:
(a) the Principal Executive Officer of the ADI; or
(b) the Chief Financial Officer of the ADI (by whatever name called).
Minor alterations to forms and instructions
APRA may make minor variations to:
(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
(b) the instructions, to clarify their application to the form
without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.
If APRA makes such a variation it must notify an affected ADI in writing.
Transitional
If a reporting period of a relevant ADI ended on 30 June 2005, or ends after that date, the ADI must report under this reporting standard in respect of that reporting period.
