Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 25 of 2006 - Reporting Standard ARS 320.9 - Intra-Group Receivables and Payables.
This form is to be completed by all locally incorporated banks and foreign authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) (other than specialist credit card institutions) on a Domestic books basis.
The Domestic books of the locally incorporated banks and foreign ADIs 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 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. Locally incorporated banks and foreign ADIs 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.

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.
