Authority
This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.
Purpose
Data collected in Reporting Form ARF 220.0 Credit Quality (ARF 220.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Application and commencement
This Reporting Standard applies to all authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs).
This Reporting Standard applies to reporting periods ending on or after 31 March 2022.
Information required
An ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies must provide APRA with the information required by the version of ARF 220.0 designated for a Licensed ADI for each reporting period.
An ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies that is a highest parent entity in relation to a consolidated ADI group must also provide APRA with the information required by the version of ARF 220.0 designated for a Consolidated Group for each reporting period.
Form and method of submission
The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website or by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
Reporting periods and due dates
Subject to paragraph 9, an ADI to which this Reporting Standard applies 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 RBA or the ABS.
Subject to paragraph 11, the information required by this Reporting Standard must be provided to APRA within 35 calendar days of the end of the quarter to which the information relates.
APRA may, by notice in writing, extend the due date by which an ADI must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date specified on the notice of extension.
Quality control
All information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard (except for the information required under paragraph 6) must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the external auditor of the ADI as set out in Prudential Standard APS 310 Audit and Related Matters. Relevant standards and guidance statements issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board provide information on the scope and nature of the review and testing required from external auditors. This review and testing must be done on an annual basis or more frequently if required by the external auditor to enable the external auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard.
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. These systems, processes and controls are to assure the completeness and reliability of the information provided.
Authorisation
When an officer or agent of an ADI submits information under this Reporting Standard using a method notified by APRA, the officer or agent must digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
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.
