Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 6 of 2025.
This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of Reporting Form SRF 551.1 Liquidity Demand (SRF 551.1). This form collects information on actual and estimated cashflows, member transactions and foreign currency contracts outstanding.
General directions and notes
Reporting level
SRF 551.1 must be completed for each RSE, defined benefit RSE and pooled superannuation trust (PST).
Reporting tables
Tables described in this reporting form list each of the data fields required to be reported. The data fields are listed sequentially in the column order that they will appear in the reported data set. Constraints on the data that can be reported for each field have also been provided.
The Unique identifier column indicates which field or fields form the primary key of the table. Where a field has ‘Y’ in the Unique identifier column, this denotes that this field forms part of the primary key for the table. A blank cell in the Unique identifier column means that the field does not form part of the primary key for the table. Any specific combination of values in the fields that form the primary key of a table must not appear on more than one row in that table when reported.
Reporting basis and unit of measurement
Report all items on SRF 551.1 in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards.
Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than AUD are to be converted to AUD using the mid-point rate (of market buying and selling spot quotations) effective as at the end of the reporting period. An RSE licensee may use those AUD exchange rates that it judges to be a representative closing mid-market rate as at the end of the reporting period. However, to ensure consistency across related returns and to assist in the reconciliation between these returns, an RSE licensee must use the same exchange rates across all returns submitted to APRA.
Amounts in SRF 551.1 are to be reported as whole dollars. Percentages are to be reported as an unconverted number to two decimal places. For example, 12.34 per cent is to be reported as 0.1234.
Items on SRF 551.1 must be reported as at the end of the reporting period.
Tables 2 and 4 are to be reported for internally managed investment options only.
Definitions
Terms highlighted in bold italics indicate that the definition is provided in Reporting Standard SRS 101.0 Definitions for Superannuation Data Collections (SRS 101.0).
