Reporting Standard ARS 120.0

Standardised Approach – Securitisation

Objective of this reporting standard

This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of information to APRA in relation to an authorised deposit-taking institution’s securitisation exposures. It should be read in conjunction with:

• the versions of Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation designated for an authorised deposit-taking institution reporting at Level 1 and Level 2, and the associated instructions (all of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard); and
• Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation.

Purpose

1. Data collected in Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation (ARF 120.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision, including assessing compliance with Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120). It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Application

2. This reporting standard applies to an authorised deposit-taking institution (ADI) that satisfies both of the following requirements:

(a) it is applying the standardised approach to credit risk to all or part of its securitisation exposures (refer to APS 120 and Prudential Standard APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk); and

(b) it is included in one of the classes of ADI to which this reporting standard applies, as set out in the table below.

This reporting standard may also apply to the non-operating holding company (NOHC) of an ADI (refer to paragraph 4).

Information required

3. An ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by the version of ARF 120.0 designated for an ADI at Level 1 for each reporting period.

4. 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 the version of ARF 120.0 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 3 and 10) as if it were the relevant ADI.

Forms and method of submission

5. The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application.

Note: the Direct to APRA application software may be obtained from APRA.

Reporting periods and due dates

6. Subject to paragraph 7, an ADI to which this reporting standard applies must provide the information required by this reporting standard for each quarter based on the financial year (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001) of the ADI.

7. APRA may, by notice in writing, change 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:

(a) the particular circumstances of the ADI;

(b) the extent to which the information is required for the purposes of the prudential supervision of the ADI; and

(c) the requirements of the Reserve Bank of Australia or the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

8. The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA in accordance with the table below. The right hand column of the table sets out the number of business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates, within which information must be submitted to APRA by an ADI in the classes set out in the left hand column.

In some cases an ADI will be both a “bank – advanced or applicant advanced” and a “bank – standardised”. The instructions associated with ARF 120.0 set out the relevant reporting requirements and timeframes in those circumstances.

9. APRA may grant an ADI an extension of a due date in writing, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date on the notice of extension.

Quality control

10. The information provided by an ADI under this reporting standard (except for the information required under paragraph 4) must be the product of processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI. AGS 1008 ‘Audit Implications of Prudential Reporting Requirements for Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions’, issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provides guidance 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 necessary to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the data.

11. 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. It is the responsibility of the board and senior management of the ADI to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.

Authorisation

12. When an ADI submits information under this reporting standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for an officer of the ADI to digitally sign, authorise and encrypt the relevant data. For this purpose, APRA’s certificate authority will issue ‘digital certificates’, for use with the software, to officers of the ADI who have authority from the ADI to transmit the data to APRA.

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

13. APRA may make minor variations to:

(a) a form that is part of this reporting standard, and the instructions to such a form, to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; or

(b) the instructions to a form, to clarify their application to the form

without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.

14. If APRA makes such a variation it must notify in writing each ADI that is required to report under this reporting standard.

Objective of this reporting standard

This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of information to APRA in relation to an authorised deposit-taking institution’s securitisation exposures. It should be read in conjunction with:

• the versions of Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation designated for an authorised deposit-taking institution reporting at Level 1 and Level 2, and the associated instructions (all of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard); and
• Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation.

Instruction Guide

This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of the Standardised - Securitisation form. This form captures the credit risk-weighted assets (RWA) and deductions from regulatory capital relating to an authorised deposit-taking institution’s (ADI’s) securitisation exposure s under the standardised approach to securitisation. In completing this form, ADIs should refer to Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120).

General directions and notes

Reporting entity

This form is to be completed at Level 1 and Level 2[3] by each ADI that satisfies both of the following requirements:

(a) it is applying the standardised approach to credit risk to all or part of its securitisation exposures (refer to APS 120 and Prudential Standard APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk (APS 112)); and

(b) it is included in one of the classes of ADI to which this form applies, as set out in the table below.

If an ADI is a subsidiary of an authorised non-operating holding company (NOHC), the report at Level 2 is to be provided by the ADI’s immediate parent NOHC.[6]

Securitisation deconsolidation principle

Except as otherwise specified in these instructions, the following applies:

1. Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that meets APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120:

(a) special purpose vehicles (SPVs) holding securitised assets may be treated as non-consolidated independent third parties for regulatory reporting purposes, irrespective of whether the SPVs (or their assets) are consolidated for accounting purposes;

(b) the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the relevant SPVs may be excluded from the ADI’s reported amounts in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns; and

(c) the underlying exposures (i.e. the pool) under such a securitisation may be excluded from the calculation of the ADI’s regulatory capital (refer to APS 120). However, the ADI must still hold regulatory capital for the securitisation exposures[7] that it retains or acquires and such exposures are to be reported in this form (ARF 120.0) or Forms ARF 120.1A to ARF 120.1C IRB – Securitisation (as appropriate). The RWA relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy (ARF 110.0).

2. Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that does not meet APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120, or the ADI elects to treat the securitised assets as on-balance sheet assets under APS 112 or Prudential Standard APS 113 Capital Adequacy: Internal-Ratings Based Approach to Credit Risk, such exposures are to be reported as on-balance sheet assets in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns. In addition, these exposures must also be reported as a part of the ADI’s total securitised assets within Form ARF 120.2 Securitisation – Supplementary Items.

Reporting period and timeframes for lodgement

The form is to be completed as at the last day of the stated reporting period (i.e. the relevant quarter). The table below sets out the number of business days after the end of the relevant reporting period within which each class of ADI must submit data to APRA.

An immediate parent NOHC must submit data to APRA within the same timeframe as its subsidiary ADI.

Where both "Bank – Standardised" and "Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced" reporting requirements and timeframes apply to an ADI

In the following cases, an Australian-owned bank or a foreign subsidiary bank must meet reporting requirements and timeframes applicable to both a “Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced” and a “Bank – Standardised”:

(a) where the ADI is operating under the standardised approach to credit risk under APS 112, but has applied for IRB approval under APS 113, in which case the ADI will be both a “Bank – Advanced or Applicant Advanced” and a “Bank – Standardised”; and

(b) where the ADI has received IRB approval under APS 113 in respect of most (but not all) of its operations, and has approval for partial use of the standardised approach under APS 112 for the remainder of its operations.

Such an ADI must report under ARF 120.0 (the form) as follows:

Definitions

In relation to this instruction guide and its corresponding reporting form (ARF 120.0), refer to APS 120 for the definitions of securitisation exposures and other securitisation related terminology.

Specific instructions

The following instructions are applicable at Level 1 and (where relevant) Level 2.

For on-balance sheet securitisation exposures, the exposure value is to be reported net of specific provisions. For off-balance sheet securitisation exposures, a credit conversion factor (CCF) is to be applied to the exposure amount (or the notional amount in the case of eligible facilities) to determine the credit equivalent amount (refer to Attachments B and C to APS 120).

Unless otherwise stated in this instruction guide, deductions from capital relating to an ADI’s securitisation exposures, are to be made 50 per cent from Tier 1 capital and 50 per cent from Tier 2 capital, in accordance with Attachment B to APS 120. Deductions from capital may be calculated net of any specific provisions raised against the relevant securitisation exposures (refer to Attachment B to APS 120).

Section A: Asset weighting for credit risk capital requirements relating to securitisation and resecuritisation exposures

Column 1. Exposures after CRM

Refer to Attachments B and C to APS 120 for the treatment of credit risk mitigation (CRM) for securitisation exposures.

Report securitisation and resecuritisation exposures after CRM, in the relevant rows, for each credit rating grade (refer to Attachment C to APS 120 and Prudential Practice Guide APG 120 Securitisation). Securitisation exposures reported under item 1.1 do not include resecuritisation exposures.

Column 2. Risk-weights

Risk-weights are pre-defined in this section in accordance with the weightings detailed in paragraphs 4 and 5 of Attachment C to APS 120.

Column 3. RWA

Derived fields that are calculated by multiplying the exposure amount after CRM (column 1) for each credit rating grade by the relevant risk-weight (column 2) (refer to Attachment C to APS 120).

Column 4. Deductions from capital

Derived fields that equate to the amounts of exposures after CRM corresponding to those credit rating grades for which a deduction is required, in accordance with Attachment C to APS 120.

These deductions are to be made 50 per cent from Tier 1 capital and 50 per cent from Tier 2 capital (refer to Attachment B to APS 120) and are captured in Section F: Summary of securitisation related RWA and deductions from capital of this form.

Section B: Exceptions to the general treatment of unrated securitisation exposures

Under APS 120, the general treatment prescribed for unrated securitisation (including resecuritisation) exposures is deduction from capital. This section captures the exceptions to this treatment (refer to Attachment C to APS 120).

Column 1. Amount

Report the exposure amount after CRM (as described in section A, column 1 of this instruction guide, except in relation to unrated eligible facilities). For unrated eligible facilities, use the notional amount, which is the face value or gross amount of a given exposure.

Column 2. Credit equivalent amount

Derived fields that calculate the credit equivalent amounts for unrated eligible facilities and eligible servicer cash advance facilities using the CCFs detailed in Attachment C to APS 120.

Column 3. RWA

RWA are to be calculated in accordance with the requirements detailed in Attachment C to APS 120.

2.1 Other unrated exposures

Other unrated exposures include unrated most senior securitisation exposures and, for asset backed commercial paper securitisations, exposures in a second loss, or better, position (refer to paragraphs 7 to 11 of Attachment C to APS 120).

2.2 Unrated eligible facilities

Refer to paragraphs 12 and 13 of Attachment C to APS 120.

2.3 Eligible servicer cash advances

Refer to paragraph 14 of Attachment C to APS 120.

Section C: Credit risk capital requirements relating to cash collateral lodged for securitisation and resecuritisation exposures

This section captures the RWA and deductions from capital associated with cash collateral provided by the ADI to collateralise its obligations under liquidity and other facilities.

Column 1. Amount

Report cash collateral facility amounts in the relevant rows for each risk-weight category (refer to Attachment E to APS 120).

Column 2. Risk-weights

Risk-weights are pre-defined in this section in accordance with the risk-weights for on-balance sheet items in Attachment A to APS 112.

Column 3. RWA

Derived fields that are calculated by multiplying the exposure amount after CRM (column 1) by the relevant risk-weight (column 2).

Column 4. Deductions from capital

Derived fields that equate to the amounts of exposures after CRM for which a deduction is required, where the ADI does not satisfy the requirements in Attachment E to APS 120.

These deductions are to be made 50 per cent from Tier 1 capital and 50 per cent from Tier 2 capital (refer to Attachment B to APS 120) and are captured in Section F: Summary of securitisation related RWA and deductions from capital of this form.

Section D: Early amortisation

This section captures the RWA for the investors’ interest[9] where an ADI transfers a pool of revolving exposures into a securitisation (including a resecuritisation) that contains an early amortisation provision (refer to Attachment G to APS 120).

RWA are to be calculated in accordance with the requirements detailed in Attachment G to APS 120. Report the total amount of RWA for the revolving exposures (that have been transferred into a securitisation) that contain an early amortisation provision.

Section E: Additional securitisation-related deductions from capital

This section captures any additional securitisation-related deductions from capital that are not captured elsewhere in this form. References to securitisation include resecuritisation.

5.1 Deductions from Tier 1 capital

5.1.1 Securitisation start-up costs

Report start-up and other establishment costs of a securitisation, where the costs have been capitalised (refer to Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital).

5.1.2 Tier 1 specific deductions (excluding start-up costs)
