This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of relevant information to APRA. It should be read in conjunction with:

  • Form ARF 210.0 Statement of High Quality Liquid Assets Calculation (Form ARF 210.0) and the associated instructions (all of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard); and

    ·Prudential Standard APS 210 Liquidity and associated guidance notes.

    Purpose

  1. Data collected in Form ARF 210.0 is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with Prudential Standard APS 210 Liquidity.  It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

    Forms and method of submission

  4. The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA either:

    (a)in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application; or

    (b)manually completed on paper, which must be faxed or mailed to APRA’s head office.

    Note: the Direct to APRA application software and paper forms may be obtained from APRA.

  6. 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:

  10. 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. It is the responsibility of the board and senior management of the ADI to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.

    Authorisation

  11. If an ADI submits information under this reporting standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for an officer of the ADI to digitally sign, authorise and encrypt the relevant data.  For this purpose, APRA’s certificate authority will issue ‘digital certificates’, for use with the software, to officers of the ADI who have authority from the ADI to transmit the data to APRA.

  12. If information under this reporting standard is provided in paper form, it must be signed on the front page of the relevant completed form by either:

(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

If the due date for lodgement in respect of a reporting period is a day after the date of registration of this reporting standard on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments, an ADI must report under this reporting standard in respect of that reporting period (including where the reporting period ended before the date of registration).
