Reporting basis and unit of measurement

Report all items on SRF 550.0 in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards.

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than AUD are to be converted to AUD using the mid-point rate (of market buying and selling spot quotations) effective as at the end of the reporting period. An RSE licensee may use those AUD exchange rates that it judges to be a representative closing mid-market rate as at the end of the reporting period. However, to ensure consistency across related returns and to assist in the reconciliation between these returns, an RSE licensee must use the same exchange rates across all returns submitted to APRA.

Amounts in SRF 550.0 are to be reported as whole dollars. Percentages are to be reported as an unconverted number to two decimal places. For example, 12.34 per cent is to be reported as 0.1234.

Items on SRF 550.0 must be reported as at the end of the reporting period.

Certain items in SRF 550.0 are to be reported on an APRA-look through basis. Reporting on an APRA-look through basis means:

(a) where the ultimate investment is held directly by the RSE licensee, reporting that investment;
(b) where the ultimate investment is held by a person connected with the RSE licensee, reporting that investment; and
(c) where the ultimate investment is not held by the RSE licensee or a person connected with the RSE licensee, reporting the most proximate investment, of a person connected with the RSE licensee, to the ultimate investment.[\[8\]](#_ftn8) [\[9\]](#_ftn9)

These instructions specify look through basis that applies to each item.
