Interest in Controlled Entities and Joint Ventures
Instruction Guide
Introduction
GRF 450.0 – Interest in Controlled Entities and Joint Ventures captures information on the reporting insurer’s interest in controlled entities, joint venture entities and joint venture operations.
Audit requirements
The information provided under the form is not required to be audited and has been exempted from the definition of ‘yearly statutory accounts’.
Reporting entities
Forms are to be completed for the following reporting entities where appropriate:
Authorised insurance entities (including mutuals); and
Authorised reinsurance entities.
Unit of measurement
This form is to be presented in Australian currency, rounded to thousands of dollars, with no decimal place. Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with AASB 121 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ (AASB 121).
The general requirements of AASB 121 for translation are:
Foreign currency monetary items[10] outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate[11] at the reporting date.
Foreign currency non-monetary items[12] that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency must be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at fair value will be translated at the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined.
Transactions arising under foreign currency derivative contracts at the reporting date must be prepared in accordance with AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ (AASB 139). However, those foreign currency derivatives that are not within the scope of AASB 139 (e.g. some foreign currency derivatives that are embedded in other contracts) remain within the scope of AASB.
For APRA purposes equity items must be translated using the foreign currency exchange rate at the date of investment or acquisition. Post acquisition changes in equity are required to be translated on the date of the movement.
As foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value, the currency derivative contracts are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.
Exchange differences should be recognised in profit and loss in the period which they arise. For foreign currency derivatives, the exchange differences would be recognised immediately in profit and loss if the hedging instrument is a fair value hedge. For derivatives used in a cash flow hedge, the exchange differences should be recognised directly in equity.
The ineffective portion of the exchange differences in all hedges would be recognised in profit and loss.
Translation of financial reports of foreign operations.
A foreign operation is defined in AASB 121 as meaning an entity that is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of a reporting entity, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity.
Exchange differences relating to foreign currency monetary items that form part of the net investment of an entity in a foreign operation, must be recognised as a separate component of equity.
Translation of financial reports should otherwise follow the requirements in AASB 121.
