Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 16 of 2025.
This Reporting Standard sets out requirements for the provision of information to APRA relating to an authorised deposit-taking institution’s interest rate risk in the banking book regulatory capital.
It includes Reporting Form ARF 117.1 Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book and associated instructions (all of which are attached and form part of this Reporting Standard) and should be read in conjunction with Prudential Standard APS 117 Capital Adequacy: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book.
Authority
This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.
Purpose
Information collected in Reporting Form ARF 117.1 Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (ARF 117.1) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with capital adequacy standards. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Application
This Reporting Standard applies to an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) that has APRA’s approval or is seeking APRA’s approval to use an internal model approach for the calculation of the ADI’s interest rate risk in the banking book regulatory capital.
This Reporting Standard may also apply to the immediate parent non-operating holding company (NOHC) of an ADI (refer to paragraph 7).
This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 1 October 2025.
Information required
An ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by this Reporting Standard designated for an ADI at Level 1 for each reporting period.
If an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies is part of a Level 2 group, the ADI must also provide APRA with the information required by this Reporting Standard designated for an ADI at Level 2 for each reporting period, unless the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC. If the ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised NOHC, the ADI’s immediate parent NOHC must provide APRA with the information required by that form for each reporting period. In doing so, the immediate parent NOHC must comply with this Reporting Standard (other than paragraphs 6 and 13) as if it were the relevant ADI.
Method of submission
The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA:
in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website; or
by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
Reporting periods and due dates
Subject to paragraph 10, an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of each quarter based on the financial year (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001) of the ADI.
APRA may, by notice in writing, vary the reporting periods, or specified reporting periods, for a particular ADI, to require it to provide the information required by this Reporting Standard more frequently, or less frequently, having regard to:
the particular circumstances of the ADI;
the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI; and
the requirements of the RBA or the ABS.
The information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided to APRA within 35 calendar days after the end of the reporting period to which this information relates.
APRA may, by notice in writing, extend the due date by which an ADI must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard, in which case the new due date will be the date specified in the notice of extension.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if the due date for a particular reporting period falls on a day other than a usual business day, APRA’s expectation is that an ADI will submit the information required no later than the due date.
Quality control
All information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard (except for the information required under paragraph 7) must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI as set out in Prudential Standard APS 310 Audit and Related Matters. Relevant standards and guidance statements issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provide information 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 required by the external auditor to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard.
All information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard must be subject to processes and controls developed by the ADI for the internal review and authorisation of that information. These systems, processes and controls are to assure the completeness and reliability of the information provided.
Authorisation
When an officer of an ADI submits information under this Reporting Standard using a method notified by APRA, it will be necessary for the officer to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
Variations
APRA may, by written notice to the ADI, vary the reporting requirements of this Reporting Standard in relation to that ADI.
APRA may determine, in writing, that an individual ADI of one class of ADI is to be treated, for the purposes of this Reporting Standard, as though it was an ADI of another class of ADI.
Transition
An ADI must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:
old reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked by the determination that makes this Reporting Standard (being the reporting standard that this Reporting Standard replaces); and
transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:
that ended before 1 October 2025; and
in relation to which the ADI was required, under the old reporting standard, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standard.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if an ADI was required to report under an old reporting standard, and the reporting documents were due before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard, the ADI is still required to provide any overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.
