- Background
Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 3 to 19 and 21 to 36 of 2018
In 2008, APRA introduced new reporting requirements for authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) as part of its implementation of a revised prudential framework based on the Basel Committee’s measures known as Basel II (the Framework) in Australia. As a result of the implementation, a number of consequential amendments to reporting standards were also made. The new and amended reporting standards were determined under:
(i) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 3-7 of 2008;
(ii) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 10 of 2008;
(iii) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 19-21 of 2008;
(iv) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 23-24 of 2008;
(v) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 30-35 of 2008;
(vi) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 37 of 2008;
(vii) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 39-41 of 2008;
(viii) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 43-53 of 2008; and
(ix) Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 55 of 2008;
The reporting standards created under these determinations would have sunsetted on 1 April 2018 by operation of subsection 50(1) of the Legislation Act 2003.
Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 20 of 2018
From 30 September 2008, APRA began collecting housing loan reconciliation data under Reporting Standard ARS 320.8 Housing Loan Reconciliation (ARS 320.8) from ADIs with total housing loan assets greater than $1 billion. This reporting standard was determined under Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination No. 59 of 2008 and was not created as part of the implementation of the Basel II framework in Australia. The data provide a greater understanding of housing lending activities and household balance sheets. The information is used primarily by the RBA in monetary policy setting. A secondary use is to provide greater granularity to APRA’s analysis of credit risk.
This reporting standard would have sunsetted on 1 October 2018 by operation of subsection 50(1) of the Legislation Act 2003.
ARS 320.8 will be discontinued in 2019, with some data items moved to the Reporting Standard ARS 223.0 Residential Mortgage Lending and other data items moved to the new EFS Reporting Standard ARS 743.0 ABS/RBA Housing Finance.
2. Purpose and operation of the instruments
The purpose and operation of the determinations is to allow the above reporting standards to continue in their current form without any significant changes. The due dates, data required and the application of the reporting standards have not changed, although redundant references to specialised credit card institutions have been removed.
In the reporting standards, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to an Act, Prudential Standard, Reporting Standard, Australian Accounting or Auditing Standard is a reference to the instrument as in force from time to time. The reporting standards also make reference to Prudential Practice Guide APG 113 Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk dated January 2013[1], Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classifications – Australian Bureau of Statistics publication (Catalogue No. 1292.0) – February 2006,[2] International Financial Reporting Standards, being standards set by the International Accounting Standards Board, as in force at 1 April 2018[3] and International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) ISO 4217:2015 Currency names and code elements[4].
3. Consultation
Remaking the reporting standards continues existing reporting requirements, pending replacement by the EFS collection or as part of the Basel 3b work. In consultation on the EFS collection, APRA informed affected ADIs and RFCs that existing reporting requirements are expected to continue until the new EFS reporting standards take effect. The key users of these data, the ABS and RBA, have been consulted on the need to remake these standards and ensure no break in statistical series.
The reporting standards were due to sunset 1 April 2018. Due to the short timeframe, APRA considered that conducting extensive additional consultation was not feasible.
4. Regulation Impact Statement
The Office of Best Practice Regulation has advised that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for these legislative instruments.
5. Statement of compatibility prepared in accordance with Part 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011
A Statement of compatibility prepared in accordance with Part 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 is provided at Attachment A to this Explanatory Statement.
Attachment A
Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights
Prepared in accordance with Part 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011
Financial Sector (Collection of Data) (reporting standard) determination Nos. 3 to 36 of 2018
These Legislative Instruments are compatible with the human rights and freedoms recognised or declared in the international instruments listed in section 3 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 (HRPS Act).
Overview of the Legislative Instruments
These legislative instruments remake those reporting standards, applying to Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions, which are due to sunset on 1 April 2018 and 1 October 2018. The data collected under these reporting standards is used by APRA for the purposes of monitoring capital adequacy and supervisory analysis. The data collected under these reporting standards is also used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to assist them with their functions.
These legislative instruments also remake the reporting standard, applying to Registered Financial Corporations, which is due to sunset on 1 April 2018. The data collected under this reporting standard is used by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to assist them with their functions. APRA collects the data on behalf of these agencies.
No personal information is collected by APRA under these reporting standards. Consequently, APRA is of the view that these legislative instruments do not raise any human rights issues.
Human rights implications
APRA has assessed the instruments and is of the view that they do not engage any of the applicable rights or freedoms recognised or declared in the international instruments listed in section 3 of the HRPS Act. Accordingly, in APRA’s assessment the instruments are compatible with human rights.
Conclusion
These Legislative Instruments are compatible with human rights as they do not raise any human rights issues.
