Loan loss provisioning

Provisions assessed on an individual facility basis in accordance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards[3] (IFRS) are to be treated as specific provisions in the reporting forms for regulatory reporting purposes APS 220 Credit Quality (APS 220). Specific provisions also include that portion of provisions assessed on a collective basis that are not eligible for regulatory purposes to be included in General Reserve for Credit Losses as defined by APS 220.

Note: Specific provisions and General Reserve for Credit Losses for products and counterparties where indicated in the form are to be reported only if the data is already recorded and allocated on that basis by the institution. Otherwise the specific provision and General Reserve for Credit Losses can be disclosed in aggregate.

Do not include associated deferred tax assets (DTA) in the amounts reported for General Reserve for Credit Losses or specific provisions. Include associated DTA in 'Other Assets - DTA - General Reserve for Credit Losses'.
