Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument revokes the 2013 reporting standard and replaces it with Reporting Standard SRS 530.0, which forces RSE licensees to file a new, detailed investments return (Form SRF 530.0) for each RSE, defined‑benefit RSE, PST and ERF (paras 1–5). APRA will use the data for prudential supervision and publication (para 2). RSE licensees bear the compliance cost: frequent electronic submissions, auditor review and digital authorisation (paras 6,9,11,13–15). The standard tightens look‑through detail and phases shorter submission windows (para 9).
