Securities Subject to Repurchase and Resale and Stock Lending and Borrowing
Objective of this reporting standard
This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001. It requires all banks and special service providers, including those that are foreign authorised deposit-taking institutions operating in Australia through branch operations, to report to APRA, generally on a quarterly basis, in relation to securities subject to repurchase and resale and stock lending and borrowing.
This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of relevant information to APRA. It should be read in conjunction with Form ARF 320.5 Securities Subject to Repurchase and Resale and Stock Lending and Borrowing (Form ARF 320.5) and the associated instructions (both of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard).
Purpose
Data collected in Form ARF 320.5 Securities Subject to Repurchase and Resale and Stock Lending and Borrowing (Form ARF 320.5) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Application
This reporting standard applies to all banks and special service providers (including, in each case, those that are foreign authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs)).
Information required
A relevant ADI must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 320.5 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
(c) the requirements of the Reserve Bank of Australia or the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
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.
