Objective of this reporting standard
This reporting standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001 and outlines the overall requirements for the provision of information to APRA relating to deposits and loans. It should be read in conjunction with the versions of Form ARF 320.7 Deposits and Loans Classified by State and Territory designated for ‘Domestic Books’ and ‘Licensed ADI’ and the associated instructions (all of which are attached and form part of this reporting standard).
Purpose
Data collected in Form ARF 320.7 Deposits and Loans Classified by State and Territory (Form ARF 320.7) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision. It may also be used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Application
This reporting standard applies to all authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs).[1]
[1] Other than specialist credit card institutions that do not engage in credit card issuing activities.
Information required
An ADI that is:
(a)an Australian-owned bank or foreign subsidiary bank;
(b)a locally-incorporated other ADI; or
(c)a branch of a foreign bank (other than a specialist credit card institution)
must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 320.7 on a ‘Domestic Books’ basis for each relevant reporting period.
An ADI that is:
(a)a credit union;
(b)a building society;
(c)specialist credit card institution that conducts issuing activities (whether locally-incorporated or not); or
(d)Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited
must provide APRA with the information required by Form ARF 320.7 on a ‘Licensed ADI’ basis for each relevant reporting period.
Form and method of submission
The information required by this reporting standard must be given to APRA in electronic form, using one of the electronic submission mechanisms provided by the ‘Direct to APRA’ (also known as ‘D2A’) application.
Note: the Direct to APRA application software may be obtained from APRA.
Reporting periods and due dates
Subject to paragraph 7:
(a)an ADI that is a:
(i) Australian-owned bank or foreign subsidiary bank;
(ii) locally-incorporated other ADI; or
(iii) branch of a foreign bank (other than a specialist credit card institution)
must provide the information required by this reporting standard for each calendar month; and
(b)an ADI that is:
(i) a credit union;
(ii) a building society;
(iii) specialist credit card institution that conducts issuing activities (whether locally-incorporated or not); or
(iv) Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited
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 Reserve Bank of Australia or the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The information required by this reporting standard must be provided to APRA in accordance with the table below. The right hand column of the table sets out the number of business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates within which information must be submitted to APRA by an ADI in the classes set out in the left hand column.
Class of ADI Number of business days Australian-owned Bank 10 Foreign Subsidiary Bank 10 Branch of a Foreign Bank 10 Building Society 15 Credit Union[2] 15 Specialist Credit Card Institution (SCCI) 15 Other ADI 10 [2] The definitions of ‘credit union’ and ‘other ADI’ in paragraph 15 of this reporting standard provide that Cairns Penny Savings and Loans Limited is to be treated in accordance with the reporting period requirements applicable to credit unions for the purposes of paragraph 8.
APRA may grant an ADI an extension of a due date in writing, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the date on the notice of extension.
Authorisation
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.
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.
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.
Transitional
An ADI must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:
old reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked in the determination making this reporting standard (being the reporting standard which this reporting standard replaces).
transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:
(a)which ended before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard; and
(b)in relation to which the ADI was required, under the old reporting standard, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standard.
Note: for the avoidance of doubt, if an ADI was required to report under an old reporting standard, and the reporting documents were due before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard, the ADI is still required to provide the overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.

Reporting Form ARF 320.7
Deposits and Loans Classified by State and Territory
Instruction Guide
General directions and notes
Reporting entity
This form is to be completed by all Australian-owned banks and foreign subsidiary banks, branches of foreign banks and other authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) on a Domestic books basis.
The Domestic books of Australian-owned banks and foreign subsidiary banks, branches of foreign banks and other ADIs relates to the Australian books of the Australian ADI and has the following scope:
is an unconsolidated report of the Australian licensed ADI's operations/transactions that are booked inside Australia;
exclude offshore branches of the Australian licensed ADI from this reporting unit;
exclude offshore banking units based overseas from this reporting unit;
do not consolidate Australian and offshore controlled entities or associated entities that are not ADIs;
include Australian based offshore banking units of the licensed ADI; and
exclude deposits from and loans to non-residents.
Note: For this form only the Domestic books reporting entity excludes transactions with non-residents.
The Deposits and Loans Classified by State and Territory form should be completed by all Credit Unions, Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited, Building Societies and Specialist Credit Card Institutions (SCCIs) on a licensed ADI basis. SCCIs that operate as branches in Australia are required to complete this form for the Australian branch only.
Note: SCCIs that engage only in credit card acquiring activities are not required to complete this form.
Licensed ADI
This refers to the operations of the reporting ADI on a stand-alone basis.
Securitisation deconsolidation principle
Except as otherwise specified in these instructions, the following applies:
Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that meets APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120):
(a)special purpose vehicles (SPVs) holding securitised assets may be treated as non-consolidated independent third parties for regulatory reporting purposes, irrespective of whether the SPVs (or their assets) are consolidated for accounting purposes;
(b)the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the relevant SPVs may be excluded from the ADI’s reported amounts in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns; and
(c)the underlying exposures (i.e. the pool) under such a securitisation may be excluded from the calculation of the ADI’s regulatory capital (refer to APS 120). However, the ADI must still hold regulatory capital for the securitisation exposures[3] that it retains or acquires and such exposures are to be reported in Form ARF 120.0 Standardised – Securitisation or Forms ARF 120.1A to ARF 120.1C IRB – Securitisation (as appropriate). The RWA relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy (ARF 110.0).
[3] Securitisation exposures are defined in accordance with APS 120.
Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that does not meet APRA’s operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120, or the ADI elects to treat the securitised assets as on-balance sheet assets under Prudential Standard APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk or Prudential Standard APS 113 Capital Adequacy: Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk, such exposures are to be reported as on-balance sheet assets in APRA’s regulatory reporting returns. In addition, these exposures must also be reported as a part of the ADI’s total securitised assets within Form ARF 120.2 Securitisation – Supplementary Items.
Reporting period
For Australian-owned banks, foreign subsidiary banks, branches of foreign banks and other ADIs, the form is to be completed as at the last day of the reporting month. The completed form should be submitted to APRA within 10 business days after the end of the relevant reporting month.
For Credit Unions, Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited, Building Societies and SCCIs, the form is to be completed as at the last day of the stated reporting quarter (i.e. September and December, March, June). The completed form should be submitted to APRA within 15 business days after the end of the relevant reporting quarter.
Unit of measurement
Australian-owned banks, foreign subsidiary banks and branches of foreign banks are asked to complete the form in millions of Australian dollars rounded to one decimal place. Other ADIs, Building Societies, Credit Unions, SCCIs and Cairns Penny Savings & Loans Limited are asked to complete the form in whole Australian dollars (no decimal place).
Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (AASB 121).
The general requirements of AASB 121 for translation are:
foreign currency monetary items outstanding at the reporting date must be translated at the spot rate at the reporting date;[4]
[4] Monetary items are defined to mean units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in a fixed or determinable number of units of currency. Spot rate means the exchange rate for immediate delivery.
foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency must be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction;[5]
[5] Examples of non-monetary items include amounts prepaid for goods and services (e.g. prepaid rent); goodwill; intangible assets; physical assets; and provisions that are to be settled by the delivery of a non-monetary asset.
foreign currency non-monetary items that are measured at fair value will be translated at the exchange rate at the date when fair value was determined.
Transactions arising under foreign currency derivative contracts at the reporting date must be prepared in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139). However, those foreign currency derivatives that are not within the scope of AASB 139 (e.g. some foreign currency derivatives that are embedded in other contracts) remain within the scope of AASB 121.
For APRA purposes equity items must be translated using the foreign currency exchange rate at the date of investment or acquisition. Post acquisition changes in equity are required to be translated on the date of the movement.
As foreign currency derivatives are measured at fair value, the currency derivative contracts are translated at the spot rate at the reporting date.
Exchange differences should be recognised in profit and loss in the period which they arise. For foreign currency derivatives, the exchange differences would be recognised immediately in profit and loss if the hedging instrument is a fair value hedge. For derivatives used in a cash flow hedge, the exchange differences should be recognised directly in equity.
The ineffective portion of the exchange differences in all hedges would be recognised in profit and loss; and
translation of financial reports of foreign operations.
A foreign operation is defined in AASB 121 as meaning an entity that is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of a reporting entity, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity.
·Exchange differences relating to foreign currency monetary items that form part of the net investment of an entity in a foreign operation, must be recognised as a separate component of equity.
·Translation of financial reports should otherwise follow the requirements in AASB 121.

Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with the prerequisite for netting outlined in Australian accounting standards AASB 139, AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and any relevant prudential standards.
Basis of preparation
Unless otherwise specifically stated, institutions are to comply with Australian accounting standards regarding the measurement of asset, liability and equity items.
