Locally incorporated banks, Foreign ADIs, Credit Unions, Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited and Building Societies should submit the completed form to APRA within 10 business days after the end of the relevant reporting month.

    Unit of measurement

    Banks, Credit Unions, Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited and Building Societies are asked to complete the form in thousands of Australian dollars with no decimal place.

    Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with AASB 1012 ‘Foreign Currency Translation’.

    The general requirements of AASB 1012 for translation are:

  1. Foreign currency monetary items outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.

  2. Other items outstanding at the reporting date must not be retranslated subsequent to initial recognition of the transaction.

    Monetary items are defined to mean money held and assets and liabilities that are to be received or paid in fixed or determinable amounts of money.

    Monetary items arising under foreign currency derivative contracts at the reporting date must be translated as follows:

  • Where the exchange rate is fixed in the contract, at that fixed exchange rate; and

  • Where the exchange rate varies, at the spot rate at the reporting date.

    Basis of preparation

    Unless otherwise specifically stated, information reported on this form should comply with Australian accounting standards.

    Definitions

    A separate form for lease finance in all eight states should be completed. Where the entity has no activity in any state, check the “nil form” box. The form requests details of new commitments to provide lease finance to private and public enterprises. Only the Australian activities of the business should be included on the form. If exact figures are not available please provide careful estimates. Please note that the items listed under Including and Excluding are examples and should not be taken as a complete list of items to be included or excluded.

    What is a “commitment”?

    A commitment is a firm offer to provide finance which has been accepted by the client. A commitment generally exists once the loan application has been approved, and a loan contract or letter of offer has been issued to the borrower.

    Including:

  • commitments to related corporations except to those related corporations within the same Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001 category or Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) class; and

  • new commitments which have also been cancelled during the month.

    Excluding:

  • commitments to non-residents;

  • commitments for commercial hire purchase agreements (these should be reported on ARF 391.0 Commercial Finance);

  • commitments for debt participation in leveraged lease agreements (these should be reported on ARF 391.0 Commercial Finance);

  • commitments for leasing of land and buildings; and

  • commitments for leveraged leases which are finance leases where the lessor provides a portion of the finance, with the major portion usually provided by long-term creditors and where the creditors’ recourse to the lessor is restricted to the proceeds from disposal of the leased asset and any unremitted lease payments.

    How to consolidate

  • for corporations registered under the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001, report consolidated figures for all related corporations within the same RFC category.

  • for other corporations, report consolidated figures for all related corporations within the same ANZSIC class.

    Valuation

    Use one of the following valuation methods:

  • the capital cost of new goods.

  • the written-down value of goods re-leased.

  • the purchase price of second-hand goods.

  • in the case of finance leases, where the full value of the goods under lease is not financed by one corporation (e.g. partnership and syndicated leases), the value is your share of the full value, not equity participation.

  • in the case of revolving lease facilities, such as master leases, report the value of goods acquired at each drawdown against such facilities. Do not report the value of commitments to provide a leasing limit or to increase a leasing limit.


    Specific instructions

    This section asks for details of the value and type of the goods financed, or for which commitments to finance have been made, under both operating and finance lease (excluding leveraged leases) arrangements during the month.

    Note on References to Accounting Standards

    This Note is about references in these instructions to an accounting standard or accounting standards, e.g. where the instructions say that something must be done in accordance with a particular AASB or international accounting standard, or must be done in accordance with the accounting standards (however described) generally.

    Where you see such a reference, you must read it as meaning the version of the accounting standard, or versions of the accounting standards, applying to reporting periods (within the meaning of the accounting standards) beginning immediately before 1 January 2005.

    Accordingly, the new AASB standards for 2005 are not to be applied.

    Similarly, a reference to principles or conventions (however described) governing an accounting procedure or treatment shall be taken to refer to principles or conventions applicable in relation to reporting periods (within the meaning of the accounting standards) that began immediately before 1 January 2005.
