Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument requires all authorised deposit-taking institutions and named special service providers to report holdings of equity securities to APRA (generally quarterly) using Form ARF 320.2, by electronic or paper lodgement. APRA says the data are for prudential supervision and may be used by the RBA and ABS.

It affects banks, foreign ADIs, building societies, credit unions and SCCIs listed in the ADI list; it creates timing (20 business days), board-level authorisation and valuation, translation and submission obligations, and allows APRA limited discretion to vary frequency or amend forms.

Reporting Standard ARS 320.2

Objective of this reporting standard

(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

The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA by 20 business days after the end of the reporting period to which it relates.

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.
If information under this reporting standard is provided in paper form, it must be signed on the front page of the relevant completed form by either:

(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.

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

A relevant ADI must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 320.2 for each reporting period.

Forms and method of submission

The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA either:

(a) in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application; or

(b) manually completed on paper, which must be faxed or mailed to APRA’s head office.

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

Reporting periods and due dates

Subject to paragraph 6, a relevant ADI 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.
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

The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA by 20 business days after the end of the reporting period to which it relates.
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.

Authorisation

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.
If 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.
If information under this reporting standard is provided in paper form, it must be signed on the front page of the relevant completed form by either:

(a) the Principal Executive Officer of the ADI; or

(b) the Chief Financial Officer of the ADI (whatever his or her official title may be).

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

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.

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

Transitional

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 in the determination making this reporting standard (being the reporting standard which this reporting standard replaces).

transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:

(a) which ended before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard; and

(b) 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.

special service provider means an ADI whose name appears under the heading ‘Other ADIs’ in the ADI list (other than Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Ltd).

APRA may in writing determine that an ADI is taken to be a bank or special service provider for the purposes of this reporting standard (even if, under paragraph 15 or 16, it comes within a different classification)

General directions and notes

Reporting entity

This form is to be completed by all locally incorporated banks, Foreign authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) and Special Service Providers (SSPs) on a Domestic books basis.

The Domestic books of the locally incorporated banks, foreign ADIs and SSPs relates to the Australian books of the Australian ADI and has the following scope:

is an unconsolidated report of the Australian licensed ADI's operations/transactions that are booked inside Australia;
exclude offshore branches of the Australian licensed ADI from this reporting unit;
exclude offshore banking units based overseas from this reporting unit;
do not consolidate Australian and offshore controlled entities or associated entities that are not ADIs;
include Australian based offshore banking units of the licensed ADI; and
include transactions with non-residents recorded on Australian books.

Securitisation deconsolidation principle

Except where stated otherwise on this form, reporting entities must treat any securitisation program special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in which the ADI (or a member of its consolidated group) participates in accordance with APRA’s clean sale and separation requirements as non-consolidated independent third parties. As a result, for reporting purposes all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of these SPVs must be excluded from the ADI’s reported amounts. Where relevant, report on this form any exposure to or other transaction between the ADI and any such SPV as if such transaction was conducted with an independent third party, regardless of whether the SPV or its assets is consolidated for accounting purposes.

APRA's clean sale and separation require

APRA's clean sale and separation requirements are set out in APS 120 Funds Management and Securitisation and related Guidance Notes AGN 120.3 Purchase and Supply of Assets (including Securities Issued by SPVs) and AGN 120.1 Disclosure and Separation. Whenever the clean sale and separation requirements are not met, all the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the SPV are to be consolidated with the ADI’s reported amounts.

Reporting period

The form is to be completed as at the last day of the stated reporting quarter. Net purchases should be reported for the three months ending the last day of the stated reporting quarter. Locally incorporated banks, foreign ADIs and SSPs should submit the completed form to APRA within 20 business days after the end of the relevant reporting quarter.

Unit of measurement

Banks are asked to complete the form in millions of Australian dollars rounded to one decimal place. SSPs are asked to complete the form in whole Australian dollars (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 outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate at the reporting date;[1]
foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency must be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction;[2]
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 121.

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; and

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.

Timing

Report assets and liabilities, and transactions in assets and liabilities as at the date of change of ownership.

Netting

Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with the prerequisite for netting outlined in Australian accounting standards AASB 139, AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and any relevant prudential standards.

Term to maturity

References to term to maturity in this form are references to original term to maturity.

Valuation and currency conversion

Closing balances should be reported at market price effective at the reference date. Where denominated in foreign currency, market values in foreign currency should be converted to AUD at the spot rate effective as at the reference date.

For holdings of shares in unlisted companies, if a market price is not available as at the reference date, estimate the market price of your shares by using one of the following methods:

a recent transaction price;
director's valuation; or
net asset value (net asset value is equal to total assets, including intangibles, less non-equity liabilities and less the paid up value of non-voting shares. Assets and liabilities should be recorded at estimated market value, rather than historical values).

Net purchases is the net result of dealing in the securities, i.e. purchases less sales. Transactions should be reported at the transaction price in AUD, converted at the appropriate spot rate at the time of the transaction, before the addition or subtraction of transaction costs such as brokerage.

Basis of preparation

Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with Australian accounting standards regarding the measurement of asset, liability and equity items.

Specific instructions

Refer to the sector definitions in the ARF 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (Domestic Books) (ARF 320.0) instructions as a general guide for reporting by sector.
