Get a plain-English read of Off-balance sheet exposures
Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 12 of 2018.
This refers to items of assets or liabilities that are not recognised or recorded on the statement of financial position of the ADI because they do not satisfy the asset or liability accounting recognition requirements. Items that were treated as off-balance sheet items for the purpose of this form, pre-IFRS, will continue to be treated as off-balance sheet items, post-IFRS.
Instruction guide for specific items
The form has the following reporting components:
Part A: 10 Largest exposures to related entities
Part A is to be completed by all Australian-owned banks and foreign subsidiary banks, and locally-incorporated non-bank ADIs on a licensed ADI or ELE basis (where applicable). Report in this part on a net basis (explained in detail below) the ADI’s/ELE’s (as appropriate) 10 largest exposures to individual related entities.
The following instructions are applicable to Part A of this form.
Name of entity
Report in column 1 the names of the relevant individual related entities to which the ADI/ELE (as appropriate) has exposures to.
Category
Report in column 2 the category of the related entity reported in column 1 using the following abbreviations:
ADI for related ADIs (including overseas based equivalents);
OR for other regulated related entities (i.e. any related entity other than an ADI or overseas based equivalent directly regulated by APRA or by a foreign equivalent); or
UR for unregulated related entities.
On-balance sheet exposures
Report all on-balance sheet exposures to the related entity noted in column 1. This includes all loans and advances to the related entity, equity investment in the related entity, and all other claims on the related entity. Any accrued interest associated with the exposure should also be included.
3.1 Equity investment
Report in column 3.1 the book value of equity investment in the related entity. Exclude any equity investment in the related entity that has been deducted from the ADI’s Level 1 (stand-alone) capital for capital adequacy purposes (refer to Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS 111)).
3.2 Other
Report in column 3.2 the book value of all other on-balance sheet exposures to the related entity on a net basis. Net basis means net of exposures excluded under paragraphs 27(b)(ii)-(vi) in APS 222, specifically:
exposures deducted from the ADI’s Level 1 (stand-alone) capital for capital adequacy purposes (refer to APS 111);
exposures to the extent that they are secured by cash deposits (subject to satisfying the criteria set out in APS 112);
exposures to the extent that they are guaranteed by governments, or secured by government securities (subject to satisfying the conditions set out in APS 112);
exposures arising in the course of settlement of market-related contracts; and
exposures to the extent that they have been written off or specifically provided for.
Off-balance sheet exposures
4.1. Non-market related
This includes all commitments, whether revocable or not, which have been advised to the related entity reported in column 1 (refer to Table 3 in Attachment B to APS 112 for examples of these commitments).
Exclude:
internal limits that have not been formally advised to the related entity and may be cancelled at the ADI’s/ELE’s (as appropriate) discretion.
Report in column 4.1 the value of all unused commitments to the related entity (do not apply credit conversion factors or risk weightings to the value) on a net basis (i.e. net of exposures excluded under paragraphs 27(b)(ii)-(vi) in APS 222 as detailed in point 3.2 above).
Exposures arising from repos (i.e. sale and repurchase agreements) and reverse repos (i.e. purchase and resale agreements) of securities should be reported as exposures to the issuer of the securities and collateralised loans to the counterparty respectively.
4.2. Market related
Include:
all exposures arising from off-balance sheet market related contracts with the related entity reported in column 1 (refer to Attachment B to APS 112) for examples of these contracts).
Report in column 4.2 the credit equivalent amounts of all market related contracts on a net basis (i.e. net of exposures excluded under paragraphs 27(b)(ii)-(vi) in APS 222 as detailed in point 3.2 above). The credit equivalent amounts of these contracts are to be calculated in accordance with Attachment B of APS 112 or Attachment J to APS 112 where netting applies. Netting by novation and close-out netting are permissible for market related contracts provided all the requirements set out in Attachment J to APS 112 for bilateral netting are met.
