Application and commencement

2. This reporting standard will apply, from the date of registration of the reporting standard on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments, to each trustee of a relevant registered superannuation entity, as defined by paragraph 3.

3. A superannuation entity is a relevant registered superannuation entity if:

(a) at the end of the most recent year of income (within the meaning of section subsection 10(1) of the SIS Act) of the superannuation entity at the time for reporting, it had total assets of at least $50 million; and

(b) at the end of the most recent reporting period for the entity, it was not:

(i) a small APRA fund;

(ii) a self managed superannuation fund; or

(iii) a single member approved deposit fund.

Note: For example, if a superannuation entity (other than one excluded by paragraph (b)) satisfied paragraph (a) at the end of its most recent year of income, but during the most recent quarterly reporting period its assets fell below $50 million, the trustee of that entity will still have to report under this reporting standard in respect of that reporting period.

Note: Part 2B of the SIS Act makes provision for the registration of superannuation entities. However, although it is expected that most superannuation entities covered by this reporting standard will become registered under Part 2B, either during or after the licensing transition period referred to in the SIS Act, it is not a requirement of the definition of ‘relevant registered superannuation entity’ that a superannuation entity actually be registered under Part 2B. A superannuation entity will be a ‘relevant registered superannuation entity’ if it meets the definition in paragraph 3 of this reporting standard, even if it has not been registered under Part 2B. This note is inserted for the avoidance of doubt.
