Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 36 of 2018.
All Registered Financial Corporations (RFCs) that have total assets equal to or greater than $50 million, after consolidating all RFCs of the same category in a group of related bodies corporate (e.g. two or more money market corporations in the same group) on a Domestic books basis are required to file this return monthly. Consolidated reporting is preferred, but arrangements may be negotiated for less consolidated reporting.
Reporting entity
Reporting Form RRF 320.0 Statement of Financial Position (RRF 320.0) is to be completed by all RFCs on a Domestic books basis.
The Domestic books of the registered entity relates to the Australian books of the Australian entity and has the following scope:
do not consolidate Australian and offshore controlled entities or associated entities that are not required to complete this form;
exclude offshore branches of the Australian registered entity from this reporting unit;
report the Australian consolidated entity’s operations/transactions that are booked inside Australia; and
include transactions with non-residents recorded on Australian books. These are recorded separately in foreign assets and liabilities issued to non-residents.
Securitisation deconsolidation principle
Where an RFC participates in a securitisation that meets APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120):
(a) special purpose vehicles (SPVs) holding securitised assets may be treated as non-consolidated independent third parties for regulatory reporting purposes, irrespective of whether the SPVs (or their assets) are consolidated for accounting purposes; and
(b) the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the relevant SPVs may be excluded from the RFC’s reported amounts in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns.
Where an RFC participates in a securitisation that does not meet APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120, such exposures are to be reported as on-balance sheet assets in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns.
Reporting period and timeframes for lodgement
The form is to be completed as at the last business day of the month. All RFCs should submit the completed form to APRA within 10 business days of the end of the relevant month.
Unit of measurement
All RFCs are asked to complete the form in thousands of Australian dollars rounded to the nearest whole number (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;[4]
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; and[5]
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.
Netting
Institutions are to comply with the prerequisite for netting outlined in Australian accounting standards AASB 139, AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (AASB 7) and AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation (AASB 132).
Term to maturity
Any references to term to maturity in this form refer to residual term to maturity.
Basis of preparation
Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with Australian accounting standards regarding the recognition and measurement of asset, liability and equity items.
