Reporting Standard MRS 300.0

Statement of Financial Position

Objective of this reporting standard

This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001. It requires medical defence organisations (‘MDOs’, as defined in paragraph 17) to report to APRA on a half-yearly basis a Statement of Financial Position.

This reporting standard outlines the overall requirements for the provision of this information to APRA. It should be read in conjunction with reporting form MRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position and the instructions to that form (each of which is attached and forms part of this reporting standard).

Application

1.     This reporting standard applies to all MDOs.

Information required

2.     An MDO must, after the end of each reporting period, and in accordance with the instructions, duly complete the form in respect of the reporting period, and provide the completed form (the ‘report’) to APRA by the due date.

Method of submission

3.     Reports 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;

(b)in Microsoft Excel format on a 3.5 inch diskette, which must be posted to APRA’s head office at Level 26, 400 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000; or

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

Note: the Direct to APRA application software and forms may be obtained from APRA but will not be available immediately upon commencement of this standard.  Therefore, initially, only methods of submission (b) and (c) will be available.

Reporting periods

4.     Subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, the reporting periods are the half-yearly period ending on 30 June 2007 and each successive half-yearly period (ending on 31 December or 30 June) after that.

5.     APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods for a particular MDO so that it is required to report in respect of half-yearly reporting periods based upon the MDO’s own year of income.

Note: this will be relevant where the MDO’s year of income does not end on 30 June or 31 December.

6.     APRA may, by notice in writing change the reporting periods for a particular MDO to require it to provide the information:

(a)more frequently (APRA may require this when, having regard to the particular circumstances of the MDO, APRA considers it necessary or desirable for the MDO to report more frequently for the purposes of monitoring the financial position of the MDO); or

(b)less frequently (APRA may do so when, having regard to the particular circumstances of the MDO and the extent to which its financial position requires monitoring, it is unnecessary to require it to report on a half-yearly basis).

Due dates

7.     Reports under this standard must be provided to APRA no later than:

(a)in the case of a report in respect of a half-yearly period ending on the last day of the MDO’s year of income – 4 months after that day; and

(b)in the case of all other reports – 20 business days after the end of the reporting period.

8.     APRA may, in writing, grant an MDO an extension of the due date for submission of a report, in which case the new due date will be the date on the notice of extension.

Audit and auditor’s certificate

9.     Reports under this standard must be the product of processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by a registered company auditor. This will require the auditor to review and test the systems, processes, and controls supporting the reporting of the information to ensure that they produce accurate data and are otherwise reliable. This review and testing must be done on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the approved auditor to form an opinion as to the accuracy and reliability of the data. 

10.   In relation to each year of income of an MDO (including a year of income ending on 30 June 2007), the MDO must provide APRA with an annual certificate, signed by a registered company auditor, which must either:

(a)state that in the auditor’s opinion the information provided to APRA under this standard in respect of the year of income is accurate and reliable; or

(b)state that in the auditor’s opinion the information provided to APRA under this standard in respect of the year of income is not accurate or reliable and specify the ways in which the information is not accurate or reliable and the grounds upon which the auditor has come to this conclusion.

A certificate under this paragraph must be provided to APRA no later than four months after the last day of the year of income to which it relates. It may be combined with certificates under corresponding paragraphs of other reporting standards (made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001) applying to the MDO.

Authorisation

11.   Reports under this standard must also be subject to processes and controls developed by the MDO for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the board and senior management of the MDO to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.

12.   If an MDO submits a report under this standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for an officer of the MDO 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 insurer who have authority from the insurer to transmit the data to APRA.

13.   If a report under this standard is completed in Microsoft Excel format and provided on diskette, the diskette must be sent to APRA with a letter signed by either the Principal Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the MDO.

14.   If a report under this standard is completed and provided in paper form, it must be signed by either the Principal Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the MDO.

Minor alterations to forms and instructions

15.   APRA may make minor variations to:

(a)the form, and the instructions to the form, to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; or

(b)the instructions, to clarify their application to the form

without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.

16.   If APRA makes such a variation it must notify affected MDOs in writing.

Audit Requirements

This form must be subject to audit review and testing on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the auditor to form an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the data.  The auditor must provide a certificate to the MDO specifying whether, in their opinion, the data provided by the MDO are reliable.  The MDO must submit this certificate to APRA on an annual basis.

The scope and nature of audit testing required is outlined in the applicable Auditing and Assurance Guidance Statement issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

19.       Borrowings

19.1.   Securities sold under agreements to repurchase

Treatment is to be consistent with International Accounting Standard 39.  Where the transferee of the securities effectively receives a lenders rate of return (i.e. the underlying risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying securities is not effectively transferred), these transactions are to be accounted for as collateralised borrowing activities (treating securities borrowing as on balance sheet exposures).

Under this method, securities sold under agreements to repurchase represents the payable due to counterparties with whom the securities have been transferred (lent) and from whom cash has been lodged. The MDO’s physical security holdings/portfolio recorded on the balance sheet are not affected (i.e. decreased by the securities subject to this agreement).

Unrated assets or exposures should be classified as Grade 4.

MDOs should, in general, use the same rating agency for determining counterparty gradings.  Where the MDO has counterparties with multiple ratings from two or more of the rating agencies in the table above, the MDO should consistently choose the ratings of a single agency whenever possible.  For example, the MDO may have a number of counterparties that are rated by Standard & Poor’s and AM Best.  In this case, the MDO should choose a single agency that will be consistently used whenever the individual ratings conflict.
