CHAIRMAN’S REPORT, A MESSAGE FROM DAVID GONSKI, AC
ANZ has strong customer franchises in Retail andCommercial banking in Australia and New Zealand anda leading position in Institutional Banking in 34 markets
including a unique presence in Asia.
The 2016 financial year has been a year of transition for ANZ
with statutory profit after tax of $5.7 billion, down 24%.
Cash profit (which excludes non-core items from statutory profit)
was $5.9 billion, down 18% due to a $1,077 million charge primarily
related to reshaping the Group to position it for improved performancein future years. Our core business continued to perform well during
the year, with solid growth in retail and business lending in Australia
and New Zealand, and the strategic repositioning of our Institutional
business well underway.
The final dividend of 80 cents brought the total dividend for the year
to 160 cents per share fully franked, a decrease of 12%. This change
reflects a move to gradually consolidate ANZ’s dividend payout ratio
within its historic range of 60–65% of annual cash profit. Your Board
believes this provides a sustainable and fully franked dividend basefor the future.
The decision to cut the dividend, while difficult, has assisted ANZ
in continuing to strengthen its capital position. Our Common Equity
Tier One capital ratio ended the year at 9.6%, well positioned ahead of
expected increases in regulatory capital required of Australian banks.
Reputation
For the most part individual customers like and trust their own bank,however this year has seen growing community discontent with big
business in Australia and with the banking industry in particular.
There are many reasons for this discontent, for example community
concern over the impact of globalisation, income inequality and theeffect of disruption by technology on traditional jobs.
However, we also need to accept that much of the fault lies withbusinesses themselves.
There is no doubt that mistakes have been made within the banking
sector. At ANZ this has resulted in regulatory investigations, concerns
over the conduct of staff and legal action involving former customers.
While it is easy to rationalise these issues as isolated problems in a verylarge business, there is more to it than that. Clearly we need to change.
I believe that large institutions, including major banks such as ANZ, havebeen slower than we should have been to open the windows and to be
more transparent, to listen more to the views of the community and toensure there is greater focus on improving the customer experience.
Realistically, genuine sustained change takes time and even then we
will not get everything right. But at ANZ, we have begun the process.
We have formally recognised the Board's focus on the area ofsustainability by the renaming of the Governance Committee
which I chair as the Environmental, Sustainability andGovernance Committee.
A key focus of our Corporate Sustainability Framework, revised
this year to align with our longer term strategy, is to deliver fair andresponsible banking. For example, we are identifying specific areas
where we want to do better than just meet our basic obligations
by proactively contributing to our customers’ and the community’s
wellbeing. On farm loans, we have extended a drought relief package
in Australia including a moratorium on farm foreclosures in drought
declared areas.
We also believe we need to increase our community engagement
by supporting community initiatives where we believe thecapabilities of our organisation and people can make a positive
difference and give back to the community.

6

We have a role to play in enabling the social and economic
participation of people in the communities in which we operate
by improving their financial health and well-being through ourtargeted inclusion programs. For example, ANZ’s MoneyMindedfinancial education program has, since 2003, helped more than
420,000 people build their money management skills. As a large
employer, we also have the capacity to assist those from underrepresented groups, such as people with a disability and Indigenous
Australians, to enter the workforce and develop new skills.
I want to assure you though that we do not see this pursuit of better
customer and community engagement to be at the expense ofshareholders. On the contrary, we think our shareholders will benefit
because their bank has a longer term and more sustainable viewof the bottom-line benefits. To be frank, it also makes sense for us
to respond and re-build our community standing ourselves, rather
than to ignore our critics and invite others to attempt to improve
our community standing for us.
New Chief Executive
This year saw Shayne Elliott succeed Mike Smith as ANZ’s Chief
Executive Officer on 1 January 2016. Shayne joined ANZ in 2009and has served as CEO of our Institutional Bank and as Chief
Financial Officer.
Shayne in the view of the Board, epitomises the attributes neededto achieve the goals we have set for our bank. He has broughta shift of priorities at ANZ with a focus on building a simpler,better capitalised, better balanced bank that delivers stronger
outcomes for shareholders and for customers.
I take this opportunity of again thanking Mike Smith mostsincerely for his service over eight years as chief executive.
Board Appointments
We were pleased to announce that Jane Halton AO would join the
ANZ Board on 21 October 2016 following a distinguished career inthe Australian public service. Until her recent retirement, Jane was
Secretary of the Australian Department of Finance. Her experience infinance, insurance, risk management, information technology, healthand ageing and public policy will be of significant benefit to the Board.
Outlook
ANZ has strong customer franchises in Retail and Commercial banking
in Australia and New Zealand and a leading position in Institutional
Banking in 34 markets including a unique presence in Asia.
The environment for banking is becoming more difficult. The sector
is facing lower revenue growth and after many years of improving
credit quality the cycle is seeing debt provisioning returning
to something closer to the long run average.
Consumer expectations are also rising in part driven by a demand
for greater transparency and the uptake of new technology. Thereis greater competitive intensity as non-banks and technology
firms target the most profitable sectors of the industry. And there
is increased public and regulatory scrutiny.
However, your Board believes the management team at ANZ
is well equipped to achieve ANZ’s priority of rapidly adapting
to this environment supported by a strong culture of customer
and community service. This will position us strongly to deliver
improved growth and value to shareholders over the medium term.

David Gonski, AC
ChairmanANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT, A MESSAGE FROM SHAYNE ELLIOTTThis year I was honoured to become ANZ’s Chief Executive Officer andto begin a process of reshaping ANZ’s strategic focus to create a simpler,better capitalised and more balanced bank that produces better outcomesfor customers, for shareholders and the community.

Progress in 2016
Of course a lot of what ANZ does today is already very successful.
We have great Retail and Commercial businesses in Australia and
New Zealand. In 2016, we continued to deliver a strong financial
performance based on market share gains and tight cost managementwith our retail and small business franchises producing particularly
strong results.
I am pleased to report that we helped over 168,000 people in Australia
buy a home in 2016 which saw ANZ become the nation’s third largest
home lender. We also increased our support for small business providing
more than $2 billion in lending to help Australians start new businesses
and to grow their existing businesses. In New Zealand, we maintained
our position as the largest lender for housing and for businesses.
We stepped up the pace of innovation with new initiatives to compete
successfully in the digital age. This included the launch of Apple Pay™ in
Australia and New Zealand and the launch of Android Pay™ in Australia.
These market-leading initiatives contributed to more customers choosing
ANZ for their banking with over 350,000 new customers joining us, thehighest number in many years.
In Institutional Banking after a period of international expansion
and a focus on revenue growth, there was good progress in improving
returns. In doing so we are reshaping Institutional Banking to be a simpler
business focused on servicing regional trade and capital flows. This has
included a significant and ongoing reduction in low yielding assets, atightening of our target market and a major improvement in productivity.
We have also simplified our international presence with the recently
announced sale of our Retail and Wealth businesses in five Asian
countries. This allows us to focus our resources on continuing to provide
a unique service to our large business and institutional clients where
we are ranked as a top four corporate bank in Asia and equal number
one for relationship quality.

Industry Challenges
The banking industry however faces very significant challenges.
Increasingly technology is redefining our business and customer
expectations while political, social and regulatory expectationsof banks are also rapidly changing.
Lending demand is now more subdued after a period of high growthand credit costs are increasing both globally and in Australia albeit froma cyclical low. At the same time, the industry faces stubborn cost growth
related to higher technology and compliance costs.
Regulators are also requiring us to hold significantly more capitaland liquidity to operate our business and to be unquestionably strong.
Left unmanaged, these changes will restrict banks’ ability to fulfil their core
purpose in society – converting savings into investment and unlocking
opportunity for individuals, families, businesses and communities. ANZ
is dealing with these challenges decisively and evolving rapidly to ensure
we succeed in the new environment that we are facing.

Strategic Priorities and Leadership
While we do have to face challenges, our aim is to build ANZ into abank that is known for delivering value from innovative and convenientbanking services and for being Australia’s only truly regional bank: onethat delivers consistently strong financial results for our shareholders
with a balance between growth and return, and the short and long term.
To help us deliver against these goals, we made changes to ANZ’s seniorleadership team in January to improve our focus on our Retail, Commercial
and Institutional customers and on our four strategic priorities.
The new senior team reflects a diverse mix of experience and new talentfrom inside and outside ANZ. This included two external appointments.
Maile Carnegie joined us after a career at Google and Procter & Gamble
to take on a new role as Group Executive Digital Banking highlighting thecritical importance of technology in enabling us to compete effectively
in the digital age. Michelle Jablko joined ANZ as our Chief Financial
Officer from independent investment bank Greenhill & Co where she
was Managing Director and Co-Head for Australia. She was previously
at UBS Australia.

Community Engagement
The current community discussion about the banking sector, particularly
in Australia, shows that we still have much more to do to shift our culture
and evolve the way we do business.
ANZ needs to better anticipate changing customer and community
expectations of banks based on a stronger sense of our core purpose,
ethics and fairness. In doing so we want to be known an organisation thatshapes a future where people and communities thrive by striving to createa balanced, sustainable economy in which everyone can take part andbuild a better life.
While this is a lofty goal given the starting point of the banking industry
today, we are committed to change and we expect to report significant
progress in 2017.
Our new Corporate Sustainability Framework will support the deliveryof our business strategy. While acknowledging the challenges ahead,
it is worth reflecting on the contributions ANZ has made this past year
to the communities in which we operate. Our community investment
reached approximately $90 million and we have met or made good
progress towards 85% of our 2016 public sustainability targets. We
celebrated our 1000th Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recruitin Australia and continued to help refugees gain vital work experiencethrough our support of refugee employment programs. We passed
a milestone with 25,000 people successfully completing our Saver Plus
matched savings program, which assists low income Australians and
New Zealanders to save for their own or their children’s education.
In addition, almost 100,000 new digital banking customers are now
registered for goMoney™ in rural communities across the Pacific,
many of whom were previously unable to access banking services.

Outlook
There is a lot to do at ANZ. The environment is challenging and naturally
expectations are high. We are pleased with the initial progress that has
been made this year in reshaping our strategy and setting ANZ on apath towards a continuous improvement in customer outcomes andshareholder returns.
We have a consistent focus on the simplification of our business andactively rebalancing our portfolio. Importantly, the team at ANZ is aligned
and we have a strong sense of urgency about the work that still needs
to be done. This sets us up well to increase the pace of execution in2017 and to deliver a better bank for customers, for shareholders andfor the community.
We could not have achieved this without the hard work and commitmentof our people, and I thank them all for their contribution.

ANZ Strategic Priorities}} Create a simpler, better capitalised, better balanced andmore agile bank.
Reduce operating costs and risks by removing product andmanagement complexity, exiting low return and non-corebusinesses and reducing our reliance on low-returning
aspects of Institutional Banking in particular.
}} Focus our efforts on attractive areas where we can carveout a winning position.
Make buying and owning a home or starting, running andgrowing a small business in Australia and New Zealand easy,
and to be the best bank in the world for customers driven
by the movement of goods and capital in our region.
}} Drive a purpose and values led transformation of the Bank.
Create a stronger sense of core purpose, ethics and fairness,investing in leaders who can help sense and navigate a rapidlychanging environment.
}} Build a superior everyday experience for our people
and customers to compete in the digital age.
Build more convenient, engaging banking solutions
that simplify the lives of customers and our people.

DIRECTORS’ REPORTThe directors present their report together with the financial statements of the consolidated entity (the Group),
being Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities, for theyear ended 30 September 2016 and the independent auditor’s report thereon. The information is provided
in conformity with the Corporations Act 2001.

Principal Activities

State of Affairs

The Group provides a broad range of banking and financial products
and services to retail, small business, corporate and institutional clients.

In the Directors’ opinion there have been no significant changes
in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year other than
the strategic repositioning of the Institutional business to improve
capital efficiency and returns.

Geographically, operations span Australia, New Zealand, a numberof countries in the Asia Pacific region, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and the United States.
The Group operates on a divisional structure with Australia,
Institutional, New Zealand, Wealth Australia and Asia Retail& Pacific being the major operating divisions.

Results
Consolidated profit after income tax attributable to shareholdersof the Company was $5,709 million, a decrease of 24% comparedto the prior year. Key factors affecting the result were:}} Operating income decreased $561 million (-3%) driven by lower
other operating income of $1,040 million, partially offset by higher
net interest income of $479 million (+3%). The reduction in otheroperating income was due to an impairment of our investment
in AMMB Holdings Berhad, a refinement to our methodology tovalue derivatives and lower income from Institutional as a resultof the strategic repositioning of that business. Growth in net
interest income was driven by a 5% increase in average interest
earnings assets, partially offset by a 4 basis point decline in net
interest margin.
}} Operating expenses increased $1,044 million (+11%) mostly due
to initiatives to reposition the Group for improved performancein future years, including a $247 million increase in restructuring
charges and a $743 million charge from the change in theapplication of accounting policy to accelerate software amortisation.
}} Credit impairment charges increased $750 million (+64%) due tohigher provisions in Institutional partly as a result of moderating
economic activity in the resource sector, and the settlement of
the Oswal legal dispute.
On the Group's balance sheet, total assets increased by $25.0 billion(+3%), total liabilities increased by $24.5 billion (+3%) and total
equity increased by $0.5 billion (+1%). Key factors include:}} Available for sale assets increased by $19.4 billion (+45%) due
to growth in the liquidity portfolio.
}} Net loans and advances increased by $13.7 billion (+2%) driven
by strong home loan growth in both Australia and New Zealand.
}} Esanda Dealer Finance assets were sold to Macquarie Group Limited.
}} Deposits and other borrowings increased by $17.4 billion (+3%)
driven by an increase in deposits from banks in Institutional as wellas growth in demand deposits in both Australia and New Zealand.
}} Subordinated debt increased by $5.0 billion (+29%) due to new
debt issuances.

section of this Directors’ Report on pages 15 to 31.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Events since the end of the Financial Year
On 31 October 2016 the Group announced it had entered into anagreement to sell its Retail and Wealth businesses in Singapore, China,
Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indonesia to DBS Bank Limited.
Further details are contained in note 44 on page 173 of this report.
Other than the matters outlined above, there were no significant
events from 30 September 2016 to the date of this report.

Future Developments
Details of likely developments in the operations of the Group andits prospects in future financial years are contained in the Chairman’s
Report, the Chief Executive Officer’s Report and the Operating and
Financial Review section of this Directors’ Report on pages 15 to 31.

Environmental Regulation
ANZ recognises the expectations of its stakeholders – customers,
shareholders, staff and the community – to operate in a way thatmitigates its environmental impact. It sets and reports against
public targets regarding its environmental performance.

ANZ holds a licence under the Water Act 1989 (Vic), allowing
it to extract water from the Yarra River for thermal regulationof its Melbourne head office building. The licence specifies daily
and annual limits for the extraction of water from the Yarra River
with which ANZ fully complies. The extraction of river water
reduces reliance on the high quality potable water supply andis one of several environmental initiatives that ANZ has introduced
at its Melbourne head office building.
The Group does not believe that its operations are subject toany particular and significant environmental regulation undera law of the Commonwealth of Australia or of an Australian Stateor Territory. It may become subject to environmental regulation
as a result of its lending activities in the ordinary course ofbusiness and has developed policies to identify and manage
such environmental matters.
Having made due enquiry, and to the best of ANZ’s knowledge,
no entity of the Group has incurred any material environmental
liability during the year.
Further details of ANZ’s environmental performance, including
progress against its targets and details of its emissions profile,
are available on anz.com > About us > Corporate Sustainability.

In Australia, ANZ meets the requirements of the National Greenhouseand Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth), which imposes reporting
obligations where energy production, usage or greenhouse gas
emissions trigger specified thresholds.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Corporate Governance Statement

Non-audit Services

ANZ is committed to maintaining a high standard in its governanceframework. ANZ confirms it has followed the ASX Corporate
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles andRecommendations (3rd edition) (ASX Governance Principles)during the 2016 financial year. ANZ’s Corporate GovernanceStatement, together with the ASX Appendix 4G which relates
to the Corporate Governance Statement, can be viewed at
anz.com/CorporateGovernance and has been lodged with the ASX.

The Group’s Stakeholder Engagement Model for Relationship with theExternal Auditor (which incorporates requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001 and international best practice) states that the external
auditor may not provide services that are perceived to be in conflictwith the role of the external auditor. These include consulting advice
and sub-contracting of operational activities normally undertaken
by management, and engagements where the external auditor may
ultimately be required to express an opinion on its own work.

As an overseas listed issuer on the NZX, ANZ is deemed to comply
with the NZX Listing Rules provided that it remains listed on the ASX,
complies with the ASX Listing Rules and provides the NZX with all theinformation and notices that it provides to the ASX. ANZ met thoserequirements during the year.

Specifically the Stakeholder Engagement Model:}} limits the non-audit services that may be provided;}} requires that audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services
must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, or pre-approvedby the Chairman of the Audit Committee (or up to a specified
amount by a limited number of authorised senior membersof management) and notified to the Audit Committee; and}} requires that the external auditor does not commence anengagement for the Group until the Group has confirmedthat the engagement has been pre-approved.

The ASX Governance Principles may materially differ from the NZX’scorporate governance rules and the principles of the NZX’s Corporate
Governance Best Practice Code. More information about thecorporate governance rules and principles of the ASX can be foundat asx.com and, in respect of the NZX, at nzx.com.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

The Group’s strategic priorities and outlook
STRATEGY
Our strategy is to use our strong Australian and New Zealand foundations, distinctive geographic footprint, and market-leading service andinsights to better meet the needs of customers and capture opportunities linked to regional trade and capital flows. In doing this, ANZ provides
shareholders with access to a unique combination of high-returning franchises and direct exposure to long-term Asian growth.
Our strategy has three elements – creating the best bank in Australia and New Zealand for home owners and small business customers, building
the best bank in the world for clients driven by regional trade and capital flows, and establishing common, digital-ready infrastructure to provide
great customer experience, scale and control. The strategy is underpinned by strong expense, capital and risk management disciplines and thequality of our people.
STRATEGIC PROGRESSThe Financial Services industry is being reshaped by a set of forces that make it more difficult to achieve the performance levels of the past, withlower economic growth, heightened consumer expectations, increased competitive intensity and greater regulatory, legal and political scrutiny.
Left unchecked, these forces will lower sector growth, reduce profitability and increase the commoditisation of the industry. In response, we are
creating a simpler, better capitalised bank that is more focused, more innovative and more values-based.
Over the course of the year, we made significant progress in each of these areas, with highlights described in the table below.
Strategic Priorities

2016 Progress Highlights

Create a simpler, better capitalised,better balanced and more agile bank.
Reduce operating costs and risks byremoving product and management

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES & OUTLOOK 1
In 2017, we expect that lower regional growth and subdued credit growth in our home markets of Australia and New Zealand will result inmodest growth in key business lines, with likely higher funding costs placing pressure on margins and higher provisions in the medium-term.
In response to these conditions, we will continue our simplification and productivity agenda, and target further reductions in Institutional RWAs.
Key risks to the downside include further regulatory changes and the impact of lower China growth on financial markets.
In response, we will prioritize our efforts in the following areas:

Net interest income (+$479m)
Net interest income increased $479 million (+3%) with 5% growth in average interest earning assets, partly offset by a 4 basis point decreasein net interest margin. Adjusting for the $96 million favourable impact of foreign currency translation and the $224 million impact of theEsanda Dealer Finance divestment, net interest income increased by $607 million (+4%) and net interest margin fell by 1 basis point.
Net interest margin (-4 bps)
The decline in net interest margin was driven by higher wholesale funding costs, the divestment of the Esanda Dealer Finance business, growthin the lower margin liquidity portfolio, and lower earnings on capital in a low interest rate environment, partially offset by improved margins
on Australian home loans.

}} Personnel expenses increased $62 million (+1%). Excluding an unfavourable foreign currency translation impact of $79 million and$213 million due to software capitalisation changes (personnel expenses that would have otherwise been capitalised) and a reductionof $19 million relating to the Esanda Dealer Finance divestment, personnel expenses decreased $211 million (-4%) due to a 7% decrease
in FTE (-5% on average), primarily managed through restructuring activities across the Group and natural attrition, and lower incentive

expenses decreased by $3 million (0%) driven by lower repairs and maintenance costs, partially offset by annual inflationary rent increases.
}} Technology expenses increased $688 million (+47%). Excluding an unfavourable foreign currency translation impact of $7 million, $492 million
due to software capitalisation changes (comprising $373 million of increased amortisation for software assets and $119 million of expenditure

Credit Impairment Charge

Total credit impairment charges increased $751 million (+62%) due to an $829 million (+75%) increase in individual credit impairment
charges, partially offset by a $78 million (-82%) decrease in collective credit impairment charges. There was minimal impact from foreign
currency translation.
The individual credit impairment charge increased $829 million (+75%), driven by increases in new and existing provisions of $689 million (+39%),
combined with a $140 million (-21%) reduction in recoveries and write-backs. The main driver of the increase in new and existing provisions
was in the Institutional division, from a small number of Australian and multi-national resource related exposures, continued commodity andmanufacturing sector weaknesses and the settlement of the Oswal legal dispute. In the Australia division, the increase in provisions was due
to growth in Small Business Banking, higher delinquencies in the retail and commercial portfolios in Queensland and Western Australia, andhigher write-backs in Corporate Banking in 2015 that were not repeated in 2016. In the New Zealand division, the increase was driven by
new provisions in the Agri and Commercial portfolios and lower levels of write backs.
The decrease in collective credit impairment charges, $78 million (-82%), was driven by portfolio contraction in Institutional, lower portfolio
growth in Australia and customer migration from collective to individual provisioning in Institutional, partially offset by the release of an economic
cycle overlay in 2015 not repeated in 2016.

Summary Balance Sheet

Total assets increased by $25.0 billion and liabilities by $24.5 billion during 2016 increasing equity by $0.5 billion:}} Trading and available-for-sale assets increased $17.6 billion (+19%). Adjusting for a $1.5 billion decrease due to foreign currency translation,
the $19.1 billion increase was driven by increased liquidity portfolio holdings due to balance sheet growth, and the reclassification of the BoT
investment as an available-for-sale asset upon cessation of equity accounting.
}} Derivative financial assets increased $1.9 billion (+2%) and derivative financial liabilities increased $7.4 billion (+9%) respectively as foreignexchange rate and interest rate movements resulted in higher derivative fair values. The net derivatives liability position is mainly attributable
to the fair value losses in derivatives economically hedging our foreign currency borrowings.
}} Net loans and advances increased $5.7 billion (+1%). Adjusting for a $0.5 billion decrease due to foreign currency translation, the $6.2 billion
increase is primarily driven by $12.0 billion increase in the Australia division from growth in Home Loans and Business Lending, $6.1 billion
increase in the New Zealand division reflecting growth across both the housing and non-housing portfolios, partially offset by a $11.8 billion
decrease in the Institutional division as a result of the strategic repositioning of that business to improve capital efficiency and returns.
}} Deposits and other borrowings increased $17.4 billion (+3%). Adjusting for a $5.9 billion decrease due to foreign currency translation, the$23.3 billion increase is primarily driven by $10.7 billion growth in Institutional deposits from banks and certificates of deposits, $10.3 billion
increase in the Australia division due to growth in term deposits and home loans offset balances and $5.1 billion increase in the New Zealanddivision primarily driven by customer deposits.
}} Total equity increased $0.5 billion (+1%) primarily due to $5.7 billion profits generated over the year, partially offset by the payment(net of dividend reinvestment) of the 2015 final and 2016 interim dividends of $5.0 billion.

2 Full year average, calculated as prescribed per APRA Prudential Regulatory Standard (APS 210 Liquidity) and consistent with APS 330 requirements.

The Group holds a portfolio of high quality unencumbered liquid assets in order to protect the Group’s liquidity position in the event of severely
stressed environment, as well as to meet regulatory requirements. High quality liquid assets comprise three categories, consistent with thedefinitions prescribed by Basel 3 LCR:}} Highest-quality liquid assets (HQLA1): Cash, highest credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for
repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
}} High-quality liquid assets (HQLA2): High credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate
debt securities and high quality covered bonds eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
}} Alternative liquid assets (ALA): Assets qualifying as collateral for the Committed Liquidity Facility and eligible securities listed by the Reserve
Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).
The Group monitors and manages the composition of liquid assets to ensure diversification by asset class, counterparty, currency and tenor.
Minimum levels of liquid assets are set annually based on a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios such that
potential cash flow obligations can be met over the short to medium term, and holdings are appropriate to existing and future businessactivities, regulatory requirements and in line with the approved risk appetite.
During the year customer funding increased by $5.2 billion (+1%) and wholesale funding increased $17.9 billion (+7%). Customer funding
represents 59.4% of total funding (2015: 60.6%). $32.1 billion of term wholesale debt (excluding Additional Tier 1 Capital) with a remaining
term greater than one year as at 30 September 2016 was issued during the year ended 30 September 2016 (2015: $18.8 billion). The weighted
average tenor of new term debt was 5.5 years (2015: 4.9 years). In addition, $2.9 billion of Additional Tier 1 Capital issuance took place during
the financial year.

RESULTS OF MAJOR SEGMENTS OF THE GROUP
During 2016, the Group announced changes to the organisation's structure to better meet the needs of our retail, commercial and institutionalcustomers. As a result of these organisational changes there are now six reported divisions: Australia, New Zealand, Institutional, Asia Retail& Pacific, Wealth Australia and Technology, Services and Operations (TSO) and Group Centre.
These divisions were created by removing the Asia Retail & Pacific business from the former International and Institutional Banking (IIB)
division, and repositioning minority investments in Asia from IIB to the Group Centre with the residual IIB business re-named Institutional.
The New Zealand funds management and insurance businesses were repositioned to the New Zealand division, and the Private Bank business
was reorganised along geographic lines under the Australia, New Zealand and Asia Retail & Pacific divisions with the residual Global Wealthbusiness re-named Wealth Australia. Comparative information has been restated.
Other than those described above, there have been no significant structural changes. However, certain prior period comparatives have been
restated to align with current period presentation as a result of changes to customer segmentation and the continued realignment of support
functions. The TSO organisational changes announced in September 2016 did not take effect until 1 October 2016.

by a 3% increase in operating expenses and a 24% increase in credit impairment charges.
Key factors affecting the result were:}} Net interest income increased $502 million (+7%). Excluding specified items1, net interest income increased 10%, driven by growth in Home
Loans, Business lending and Retail deposits. Net interest margin was stable.
}} Other operating income decreased $6 million (0%). Excluding specified items1, other operating income increased 3% primarily due to fee
income growth in Small Business Banking, Home Loans and Deposits and Payments.
}} Operating expenses increased $196 million (+6%). Excluding specified items1, operating expenses increased 3% driven by investments
supporting our growth strategy (particularly in priority areas of Home Loans, Small Business and Digital) and wage inflation, partially offset
by productivity initiatives that resulted in a 3% decrease in FTE during the year.
}} Credit impairment charges increased $68 million (+8%). Excluding specified items1, credit impairment charges increased by 24%. Individual
impairment charges increased $233 million (+36%) predominantly due to growth in Small Business Banking, higher delinquencies in theretail and commercial portfolios in Queensland and Western Australia and higher write-backs in Corporate Banking in 2015 (not repeated in 2016).

Cash profit decreased 46%. Excluding specified items1, cash profit decreased by 34% driven by a 10% decrease in other operating income, 4%
decrease in net interest income and higher credit impairment charges.
Key factors affecting the result were:}} Net interest income decreased $133 million (-4%) driven by decreases in Markets, Loans and Transaction Banking. Markets net interest income
fell due to reduced gold financing and lower Balance Sheet earnings in Asia. The Loans reduction was due to a continued focus on improving
capital efficiency and the exit of lower returning business. Net interest margin decreased 7 bps driven by growth in lower margin liquidity
portfolios in Markets. Excluding Markets, net interest margin increased 13 bps reflecting the impact of exiting lower returning assets andan improved funding mix.
}} Other operating income decreased $454 million (-21%). Excluding specified items1, other operating income decreased 10%. Loans andTransaction Banking decreased due to the exit of low returning business as well as a slowdown in natural resource related projects.
The reduction in Markets was primarily driven by reduced Sales income, due to lower demand for interest rate products and gold financing
from Asian customers.
}} Operating expenses increased $129 million (+5%). Excluding specified items1, operating expenses increased 1% reflecting the part year benefitof the 14% FTE reduction arising from productivity and organisational changes.
}} Credit impairment charges increased $543 million driven by higher individual impairment charges in Loans and Transaction Banking,reflecting a return to historical averages and the settlement of the Oswal legal dispute.

Cash profit increased 1%. Excluding specified items1, cash profit increased 3% primarily driven by lending volume growth and disciplined costmanagement, partially offset by higher credit impairment charges.
Key factors affecting the result were:}} Net interest income increased by $70 million (+3%) driven by 9% growth in average gross loans and advances, with growth across both the
housing and non-housing portfolios. This was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin of 12 bps, driven by competition for lending
assets, unfavourable lending mix with customers continuing to favour lower margin fixed rate products, and the impact of capital notes issued
in March 2015 and June 2016.
}} Other operating income increased by $35 million (+6%) driven by the gain on sale of a fixed asset, volume driven growth in fee income,rebates and dividends received, and growth in KiwiSaver funds under management, partially offset by loss on sale of the medical insurance
business (nil impact after tax).
}} Operating expenses increased by $28 million (+2%). Excluding specified items1, operating expenses decreased 2% with disciplined costmanagement and productivity gains more than offsetting inflationary impacts.
}} Credit impairment charges increased by $65 million. The individual impairment charges increased $50 million driven by higher new
provisions in the Agri and Commercial portfolios and lower write-backs. The collective impairment charges increased $15 million driven
by a deteriorating Agri risk profile.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Risks
The success of the Group’s strategy is underpinned by soundmanagement of its risks. As the Group progresses on its strategic
path of becoming the best connected and most respected bankacross the region, the risks faced by the Group will evolve in linewith the strategic direction. The success of the Group’s strategy isdependent on its ability to manage the broad range of interrelatedrisks it is exposed to across our geographic footprint.
Risk Appetite
ANZ’s risk appetite is set by the Board and integrated within
ANZ’s strategic objectives. The risk appetite framework underpins
fundamental principles of strong capitalisation, robust balance sheet
and sound earnings, which protects ANZ’s franchise and supports
the development of an enterprise-wide risk culture. The frameworkprovides an enforceable risk statement on the amount of risk ANZ
is willing to accept and it supports strategic and core businessactivities and customer relationships ensuring that:}} only permitted activities are engaged in;}} the scale of permitted activities, and subsequent risk profile, does
not lead to potential losses or earnings volatility that exceeds ANZ
approved risk appetite;}} risk is expressed quantitatively via limits and tolerances;}} management focus is brought to bear on key and emerging risk
issues and mitigating actions; and}} risk is linked to the business by informing, guiding andempowering the business in executing strategy.
ANZ’s risk management is viewed as a core competency and toensure that risks are identified, assessed and managed in an accurate
and timely manner, ANZ has:}} An independent risk management function, with both central
and enterprise-wide functions (which typically cover activities
such as risk measurement, reporting and portfolio management),
together with embedded risk managers within the businesses.
}} Developed frameworks to provide structured and disciplined
processes for managing key risks. These frameworks include
articulation of the appetite for these risks, portfolio direction,
policies, structures, limits and discretions.
Material Risks
All the Group’s activities involve, to varying degrees, the analysis,
evaluation, acceptance and management of risks or combinationsof risks. The material risks facing the Group and its approach to
management of those risks are described below:
Capital Adequacy Risk – is the risk of loss arising from ANZ failingto maintain the level of capital required by prudential regulatorsand other key stakeholders (shareholders, debt investors, depositors,
rating agencies etc.) to support ANZ’s consolidated operations andrisk appetite. Losses include those arising from diminished reputation,a reduction in investor/counterparty confidence, regulatory
non-compliance (such as fines and banking license restrictions) andan inability for ANZ to continue to do business. ANZ pursues an active
approach to capital management, which is designed to protect
the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders.

30

Credit Risk – is the risk of financial loss resulting from a counterparty
failing to fulfil its obligations, or from a decrease in credit quality ofa counterparty resulting in a loss in value. ANZ has a comprehensive
framework to manage credit risk. The framework is top down, being
defined by credit principles and policies. The effectiveness of thecredit risk management framework is assessed through various
compliance and monitoring processes. These, together with portfolio
selection, define and guide the credit process, organisation and staff.
ANZ's customers could also be impacted by climate change
and changes to laws or regulations, or other policies adopted bygovernments or regulatory authorities, including carbon pricing andclimate change adaptation or mitigation policies. We factor theserisks into our customer evaluations and due diligence processes.
ANZ has strengthened its due diligence processes governing lending
to the coal mining, transportation and power generation sectors.
We expect our customers in these sectors to have strategies in place
to reduce the emissions intensity, and increase the energy efficiencyof their operations over time. We also regularly conduct portfolio
reviews to identify potential financial stress in sectors that may
be impacted by declining demand or reduced commodity prices.
Market Risk – Market Risk stems from ANZ’s trading and balance
sheet activities and is the risk to ANZ’s earnings arising from changes
in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility, andcorrelations or from fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.
ANZ has a detailed market risk management and control framework,
to support its trading and balance sheet activities, which incorporates
an independent risk measurement approach to quantify themagnitude of market risk within the trading and balance sheet
portfolios. This approach, along with related analysis, identifies
the range of possible outcomes that can be expected over a given
period of time, and establishes the likelihood of those outcomes andallocates an appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.
Liquidity and Funding Risk – is the risk that the Group is unable
to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying
depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has
insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The Global financial
crisis highlighted the importance of differentiating between stressedand normal market conditions in a name-specific crisis and thedifferent behaviour that offshore and domestic wholesale funding
markets can exhibit during market stress events. ANZ’s short term
liquidity risk appetite is defined by the ability to meet a range of
regulatory and internal liquidity metrics mandated by the Board.
The metrics cover a range of scenarios of varying duration and levelof severity which ANZ uses to manage this risk.
Operational Risk – is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or
failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.
This definition includes legal risk and the risk of reputation loss, or
damage arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people
and systems but excludes strategic risk. The objective of operationalrisk management is to ensure that risks are identified, assessed,
measured, evaluated, treated, monitored and reported in a structured
environment with appropriate governance oversight. ANZ does
not expect to eliminate all operational risks, but to ensure that theresidual risk exposure is managed as low as reasonably practical
based on a sound risk/reward analysis in the context
of an international financial institution.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Compliance Risk – is the probability and impact of an event that
results in a failure to act in accordance with laws, regulations, industry
standards and codes, internal policies and procedures and principles
of good governance that apply to ANZ’s businesses. ANZ’s Compliance
Framework is aligned to key industry and global standards andbenchmarks. It utilises the concept of a ‘risk-based’ approach tocompliance management, enabling the Compliance function to
support divisions and businesses in taking a standardised approachto compliance management tasks. This allows ANZ to be globallyconsistent in proactively identifying, assessing, managing, reportingand escalating compliance-related risk exposures while respecting
the specific obligations of each jurisdiction in which we operate.
Reputation Risk – is the risk of loss caused by adverse perceptionsof ANZ held by the public, shareholders, investors, regulators,
or rating agencies that directly or indirectly impact earnings, capital
adequacy or value. Reputation Risk can arise as a result of poor
control processes or unexpected risks crystallising (such as credit,
market or operational risk). Conduct risk associated with ANZ’s
employees and/or contractors, in addition to the social and/or
environmental impacts of our lending decisions may also leadto reputation risk. ANZ manages reputation risk through a robust
governance process and controls. The ANZ Reputation Risk
Committee, which derives its authority by delegated discretion fromthe ANZ CEO, is the key decision making authority with the power
to approve or decline ANZ products, transactions and activities that
do or may give rise to Reputation Risk; and approve principles,policies, processes and guidelines for the management of
reputation risks.
Insurance Risk – is the risk of unexpected losses resulting fromworse than expected claims experience (variation in timing andamount of insurance claims due to incidence or non-incidence
of death, sickness, disability or general insurance claims) and includes
inadequate or inappropriate underwriting, claims management,
reserving, insurance concentrations, reinsurance management,
product design and pricing which will expose an insurer to financial
loss and the consequent inability to meet its liabilities. In the life
insurance business, insurance risk arises primarily through mortality(death) and morbidity (illness and injury) and longevity risks.
Insurance risk is managed primarily by: product design to price allapplicable risks into contracts; reinsurance to reduce liability for large
individual risks; underwriting to price/reserve for the level of risk
associated with an individual contract; claims management to admit
and pay genuine claims appropriately; insurance experience reviews
to update assumptions and portfolio management to maintaina diversity of individual risks.

Reinsurance Risk – Reinsurance is an agreement in which one
insurer (‘the reinsurer’) indemnifies another insurer for all or partof the risk of a policy originally issued and assumed by that otherinsurer. Reinsurance is a risk transfer tool between the insurer andreinsurer. The main risk that arises with reinsurance is counterparty
credit risk. This is the risk that a reinsurer fails to meet their contractual
obligations, that is, to pay reinsurance claims when due. This risk
is measured by assigning a counterparty credit rating or probabilityof default. Reinsurance counterparty credit risk is mitigatedby restricting counterparty exposures on the basis of financial
strength and concentration.
Strategic Risk – Strategic Risks are risks that affect or are createdby an organisation’s business strategy and strategic objectives. Where
the strategy leads to an increase in other Key Material Risks (suchas Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk), the risk management
strategies associated with these risks form the primary controls.
Management Board members will identify and assess potential
strategic risks in the course of making decisions about the futureof ANZ. This will include analysis of potential merger and acquisition
activity, exit strategies and the nature of resourcing. In assessing
strategic risks, Management Board will consider impacts such as
pricing and products, the systems and processes needed to deliveron the proposed strategy, and capital implications. In monitoring
the potential for strategic risk to materialise, ANZ must maintaina deep understanding of the key markets and jurisdictions in which
we operate. This includes analysis of the economy and outlook,globally and locally; the actions of competitors; and being agile
in our response to new and emerging technology.
A listing of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Groupis set out on pages 179 to 187.
Further information on ANZ’s sustainability risks and how they are
managed is available in the 2016 Corporate Sustainability Review,
to be published on anz.com in December 2016.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Introduction from the Chair of the Human Resources Committee
Dear Shareholder,I am pleased to present our Remuneration Report for the year ending 30 September 2016.
The remuneration framework, which is aligned to our risk management framework, is designed to create value for all stakeholders, to differentiate
rewards based on Group and individual performance and to provide competitive rewards that attract, motivate and retain talented people.
Remuneration outcomes
The ANZ Board has assessed the 2016 performance against the balanced scorecard and progress towards broader long term strategic goals.
2016 saw steady progress at the start of a period of consolidation and transition for ANZ. The goal is to be a simpler, better capitalised andmore balanced bank that consistently produces better outcomes for shareholders and for customers. As part of this transition the Group took
up $1,077 million of charges (post tax) for “Specified Items”. Cash Profit declined 18% (excluding the impact of the “Specified Items” Cash Profit
reduced 3%). In line with the strategic focus on capital efficiency, ANZ reduced the FY16 dividend and stated an intention to move back towards
the historic payout range of 60% to 65% of Cash Profit which we believe to be a sustainable base for the future. The Board is very pleased
with the substantial progress being made by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and his team, to refocus the organisation and establish a solid
foundation for future performance.
This year there have been significant (9% to 43%) reductions in variable remuneration year on year for the majority of executives. Five of the nine
executives (including the CEO) have received a below target award for 2016.
The Long Term Variable Remuneration1 awarded in 2012 was tested in late 2015. ANZ achieved a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of 38% and
31% over the three year performance periods for the Current CEO and Disclosed Executives, and Former CEO awards respectively. ANZ’s TSR did
not reach the median of the comparator group and accordingly, the performance rights did not vest, executives received no value from theseawards and the awards have now lapsed. It is likely that the Long Term Variable Remuneration awarded in 2013, to be tested in November 2016,
will not reach the vesting thresholds and will also lapse.
Executive changes
Shayne Elliott became CEO on 1 January 2016 and there were also several changes to Disclosed Executives during the year. These included
the appointment of Fred Ohlsson as Group Executive, Australia and Mark Whelan as Group Executive, Institutional. Maile Carnegie (Group
Executive, Digital Banking) and Michelle Jablko (Chief Financial Officer) also joined ANZ as Disclosed Executives. For each of these appointments,
fixed remuneration was set lower than that of the prior incumbent (where relevant), including the CEO whose fixed remuneration was set at$2.1 million (nearly 40% lower than his predecessor). The Total Remuneration allocated for the CEO and Disclosed Executives has reduced (onan annualised basis) from around $40 million in FY15 to around $30 million in FY16, most of which is attributable to reduced fixed and variable
remuneration levels.
Changes to remuneration structures
The Human Resources Committee has a strong focus on the relationship between business performance, risk management and remuneration,and regularly reviews the executive remuneration structure to ensure it remains appropriate.
During 2016 the HR Committee reviewed the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ remuneration frameworks to ensure they support the achievementof ANZ’s strategic objectives. The review considered a range of factors including market best practice, changes in market conditions andregulatory developments and feedback from shareholders and proxy advisors. The review has resulted in the changes summarised below,
which are effective for the 2016 year.
We have implemented a combined Variable Remuneration framework for Disclosed Executives (combining Annual Variable Remuneration2 andLong Term Variable Remuneration). Individual performance continues to be assessed against Group, Divisional and Individual annual objectives
based on a balanced scorecard of measures and positive demonstration of values led behaviours. Measures relate to annual targets and also
contributions towards medium to longer term performance outcomes aligned to ANZ’s strategic objectives. The grant of Variable Remuneration
is determined at the end of the bank’s financial year and is delivered as 33% cash, 33% shares and 34% performance rights delivered over the
short, medium and longer term. Delivery and deferral periods are as follows:}} The cash portion vests immediately.
}} Shares are now deferred equally over four years (rather than two years previously).
}} Performance rights will continue to be deferred over three years subject to testing at the end of the performance period. 75% are measured
against the TSR of the Select Financial Services comparator group, and 25% are measured against Absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate
TSR target.
}} The maximum opportunity is now 150% of target and the deferral threshold is no longer applicable.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

33

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

For the bank’s financial year commencing 1 October 2016, the Variable Remuneration target for Disclosed Executives (excluding the Chief Risk
Officer) has been increased from 170% to 200% of fixed remuneration in alignment with the other Australian major banks. As a result, a greater
proportion of total target remuneration will be at risk (67% of total target remuneration rather than 63%). This also aligns the proportion of fixed
and at risk remuneration for the Disclosed Executives with the CEO. This does not mean that variable rewards will necessarily increase as it isdependant on the percentage of target paid which is based on the performance in the year.
Consistent with the arrangements disclosed to the market at the time of appointment, the CEO has a separate Annual Variable Remunerationand Long Term Variable Remuneration framework.
}} Annual Variable Remuneration is delivered as an equal mix of cash and shares.
–– The cash portion vests immediately.
–– Shares are now deferred equally over four years (rather than two years previously).
–– The maximum opportunity is now 150% of target (rather than 200% previously) and the deferral threshold is no longer applicable.
}} Long Term Variable Remuneration continues to be delivered as performance rights deferred over three years subject to testing at theend of the performance period and measured against the same hurdles as Disclosed Executives.
Further detail is provided within the Remuneration Report which we hope you will find informative.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1. Basis of Preparation
The Remuneration Report is designed to provide shareholders with an understanding of ANZ’s remuneration policies and the link between our
remuneration approach and ANZ’s performance, in particular regarding Key Management Personnel (KMP) as defined under the Corporations
Act 2001. Individual outcomes are provided for ANZ’s Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), the CEO and Disclosed Executives (current and former).
The Disclosed Executives are defined as those direct reports to the CEO with responsibility for the strategic direction and managementof a major revenue generating Division or who control material revenue and expenses that fall within the definition of KMP.
The Remuneration Report for the Company and the Group for 2016 has been prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations
Act 2001. Information in Tables 5 and 6: Awarded Remuneration Disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the presentation basis set
out in Section 8.4. The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations
Act 2001, unless indicated otherwise, and forms part of the Directors’ Report.

3. Role of the Board in Remuneration
The HR Committee is a Committee of the Board. The HR Committee is responsible for:}} reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in relation to remuneration governance, director and senior executive remunerationand senior executive succession;}} specifically making recommendations to the Board on remuneration and succession matters related to the CEO, and individual remuneration
arrangements for other key executives covered by the Group’s Remuneration Policy;}} the design of significant variable remuneration (such as the ANZ Employee Reward Scheme (ANZERS) and the Institutional Total Incentives
Performance Plan (TIPP)); and}} remuneration structures for senior executives and others specifically covered by the Remuneration Policy.
More details about the role of the HR Committee can be found on the ANZ website.1
The link between remuneration and risk is considered a key requirement by the Board. Committee membership is structured to ensure overlapof representation across the HR Committee and Risk Committee, with three NEDs currently on both committees. The HR Committee has free
and unfettered access to risk and financial control personnel, and can also engage independent external advisors as needed.
Throughout the year the HR Committee and management received information from external providers including Aon Hewitt, Ashurst,
Ernst & Young, Herbert Smith Freehills, Korn Ferry Hay Group, McLagan, Mercer Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
This information related to market data and market practice information, legislative requirements and interpretation of governance andregulatory requirements.
The HR Committee did not receive any remuneration recommendations from consultants during the year in relation to the remuneration
arrangements of KMP. ANZ employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide recommendations to the HR Committee/Board, taking
into consideration market information provided by external providers. The Board’s decisions were made independently using the information
provided and having careful regard to ANZ’s strategic objectives, risk appetite and Remuneration Policy and principles.

4. The Role of the HR Committee
During 2016, the HR Committee met on six occasions, with remuneration matters an agenda item on each occasion. The HR Committee has
a strong focus on the relationship between business performance, risk management and remuneration, with the following activities occurring
during the year:}} annual review of the effectiveness of the Remuneration Policy;}} review of key senior executive appointments and terminations;}} involvement of the Risk function in remuneration regulatory and compliance related activities;}} monitoring of regulatory and compliance matters relating to remuneration governance;}} review of variable remuneration arrangements including changes to the CEO and Group Executive Committee (ExCo)remuneration framework;}} review of reward outcomes for key senior executives;}} review of ANZ’s risk culture and employee engagement;}} review of diversity and inclusion; and}} review of succession plans for key senior executives.

5. Remuneration Strategy and Objectives
ANZ’s remuneration strategy, the Group’s Remuneration Policy and reward frameworks all reflect the importance of sound risk management.
The following principles underpin ANZ’s Remuneration Policy, which is approved by the Board and applied globally across ANZ:}} creating and enhancing value for all ANZ stakeholders;}} emphasising the ‘at risk’ components of total rewards to increase alignment with shareholders and encourage behaviour that supports thelong term financial soundness and the risk management framework of ANZ, and the delivery of superior long term total shareholder returns;}} differentiating rewards in line with ANZ’s culture of rewarding for outperformance and demonstration of behaviours aligned with ANZ’s values(Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect and Excellence); and}} providing a competitive reward proposition to attract, motivate and retain the highest quality individuals in order to deliver ANZ’s businessand growth strategies.
Appropriate risk management is fundamental to the way ANZ operates and is therefore a key element of the way performance is measured andassessed at a Group, Division and individual level. Variable remuneration outcomes reflect performance against a balanced scorecard of financial
and non-financial (including risk) measures.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

The remuneration mix in Figure 2 is based on performance rights face value at 50% vesting assuming an ‘on target’ award.
The CEO’s target remuneration mix is equally weighted between fixed remuneration, Annual Variable Remuneration (AVR) and Long Term
Variable Remuneration (LTVR), with approximately half of total target remuneration allocated as equity (shares deferred equally over four
years, and performance rights deferred over three years), which remains at risk until vesting date.
The target remuneration mix for Disclosed Executives is weighted between fixed remuneration (37%) and Variable Remuneration (VR) (63%),
with approximately 42% of total target remuneration allocated as equity (shares deferred equally over four years, and performance rights
deferred over three years) remaining at risk until vesting date.
The CEO and Disclosed Executives may be awarded amounts above or below the target for variable remuneration.
ANZ’s variable remuneration deferral arrangements are designed to ensure that the CEO and Disclosed Executives are acting in the best longterm interests of ANZ and its shareholders. Deferring part of their variable remuneration over one to four years results in a substantial amountbeing directly linked to long term shareholder value. For example as at 30 September 2016 Shayne Elliott held 66,482 unvested deferred sharesand 282,483 unvested performance rights, the combined value1 of which was around four and a half times his fixed remuneration. Similarly as
at 30 September 2016 Disclosed Executives held unvested equity, the value1 of which was around four times their average fixed remuneration.
The reward structure for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is detailed below.
2017 Bank financial year
The target remuneration mix for Disclosed Executives (excluding the Chief Risk Officer (CRO)) will change as shown in Figure 2 above. VR targets
will be increased from 170% to 200% of fixed remuneration in alignment with the Australian major banks, noting that the deferral period forshares has increased from two to four years, the deferral threshold has been removed, the maximum opportunity has been reduced to 150%of target and the performance rights for Disclosed Executives are now effectively hurdled twice (once on grant to determine the award andthen on vesting against the performance hurdles).
The only exception is the CRO whose remuneration arrangements have been structured differently to preserve the independence of thisrole and to minimise any conflicts of interest in carrying out the risk control function across the organisation. The CRO’s VR target will remainunchanged (refer to Section 6.2.3 How Variable Remuneration is delivered).
1 Value is based on the number of unvested deferred shares and unvested rights held at 30 September 2016 multiplied by the ANZ closing share price as at 30 September 2016.

6.1 FIXED REMUNERATION
The fixed remuneration amount is expressed as a total dollar amount which can be taken as cash salary, superannuation contributions andother nominated benefits. Fixed remuneration is set based on financial services market1 relativities reflecting responsibilities, performance,
qualifications, experience and location.
1 Considered the most relevant comparator as this is the main pool for sourcing talent and where key talent may be lost.

6.2 VARIABLE REMUNERATION
6.2.1 Overview of arrangements
Variable remuneration forms a significant part of the CEO’s and Disclosed Executives’ potential remuneration, providing at risk components thatare designed to drive performance in the short, medium and long term.
For the 2016 awards, we have implemented revised variable remuneration arrangements:}} Disclosed Executives: Rewarded under a single Variable Remuneration (VR) framework. Individual performance is assessed against Group,
Divisional and individual objectives based on a balanced scorecard of measures and positive demonstration of values led behaviours. Manyof the measures relate to contribution towards medium to longer term performance outcomes aligned to ANZ’s strategic objectives as wellas annual goals. Assessment is over a one year time frame with the grant of variable remuneration determined at the end of the bank financial
year. VR is then delivered as an even mix of cash, deferred shares and performance rights (subject to further performance measurement).
}} CEO: Remains on separate AVR and LTVR frameworks. A target opportunity for both AVR and LTVR is established and performance is measured
separately for each component.
The maximum AVR opportunity for the CEO and maximum VR opportunity for the Disclosed Executives is up to 150% of target. AVR/VR canbe adjusted down (and potentially to a nil payment) based on assessed performance.

38

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

6.2.2 Annual performance
Variable remuneration is delivered under ANZ’s Employee Reward Scheme (ANZERS) structure and the pool for distribution is reviewed by the HR
Committee and approved by the Board. The size of the overall pool is based on an assessment of the balanced scorecard of measures of the Groupand affordability.
Targets are set considering prior year performance, industry standards and ANZ’s strategic objectives. Many of the measures also focus ontargets which are set for the current year in the context of progress towards longer term goals. The specific targets and features relating to allthese measures have not been provided in detail due to their commercial sensitivity.
Key performance areas for the ANZERS scorecard and outcomes against those for 2016 are in Section 7.2 Variable Remuneration – Performanceand Outcomes.
For the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the weighting of measures in each individual’s balanced scorecard will vary to reflect the responsibilitiesof their role. For example the Group Executives of the Australia, New Zealand and Institutional divisions have a 40% weighting on financial
measures and 20% on each of Customer, Process/Risk and People.
Performance is assessed against these objectives at the end of the year, with input from the CEO, CRO, CFO and Group General Manager Internal
Audit on risk management, financial performance and internal audit matters, followed by review and endorsement by the HR Committee, withfinal outcomes approved by the Board.
The Board reviews performance outcomes against target for each metric, combined with a judgemental assessment of each outcome relative
to overall business performance for both the short and longer term.
6.2.3 How Variable Remuneration is delivered
Mandatory deferral of a significant portion of variable remuneration places an increased emphasis on having a variable structure that is flexible,
continues to be performance linked, has significant retention elements and aligns the interests of the CEO and Disclosed Executives to shareholders
to deliver against strategic objectives. Deferred remuneration remains subject to downward adjustment by the Board during the vesting period.

Downward adjustment
The Board has on-going and absolute discretion to:}} adjust deferred variable remuneration downwards, or to zero at any time, including after the grant of such remuneration, where the Board
considers such an adjustment is necessary to protect the financial soundness of ANZ or to meet unexpected or unknown regulatory
requirements, or if the Board subsequently considers that having regard to information which has come to light after the grant of deferred
equity/cash, the deferred equity/cash was not justified;}} withhold vesting until the Board has considered any information that may impact the vesting.
Prior to any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether any downward adjustment should be made.
No downward adjustment was applied to the remuneration of the executives during 2016.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

PERFORMANCE RIGHTS – CEO (LTVR) AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES (VR) EXCLUDING THE CRO
Award instrument

Performance rights delivered to the CEO and Disclosed Executives are a right to acquire a share at nil cost,subject to meeting time and performance hurdles. Upon exercise, each performance right entitles the holder
to one ordinary share.

Calculating the number To increase transparency and reduce volatility in the number of performance rights allocated each year a face valueof performance rights methodology has been used for grants after 1 October 2015 to determine the number of performance rights allocatedto the CEO and Disclosed Executives.
The number of performance rights allocated is calculated based on the five trading day Volume Weighted Average
Price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX in the week up to and including the start of the performance
period (commencing 22 November 2016 for the 2016 award). The future value of performance rights may range
from zero to an indeterminate value depending on performance against the hurdle and the share price at the timeof exercise.
Performance conditions For the performance rights in relation to the 2016 year (to be granted in November/December 2016):}} 75% will be measured against the TSR of the Select Financial Services comparator group (Tranche 1); and}} 25% will be measured against Absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) TSR (Tranche 2).
TSR represents the change in the value of a share plus the value of reinvested dividends paid. TSR was chosen as themost appropriate comparative measure as it focuses on the delivery of shareholder value and is a well understoodand tested mechanism to measure performance.
Each tranche will be measured independently from the other so one tranche may vest fully or partially but anothertranche may not.
The S&P/ASX 50 Index comparator group has been removed for performance rights in relation to the 2016 year
to simplify the performance hurdles utilised in the measurement of performance rights.
Performance period

Performance rights awarded to the CEO and Disclosed Executives will be tested against the relevant performance
hurdle at the end of the three year performance period.
A three year performance period provides a reasonable period to align reward with shareholder return and also acts
as a vehicle to help retain the CEO and Disclosed Executives. It aligns to the business planning cycle, provides sufficient
time for the longer term performance to be reflected, while balancing a reasonable timeframe for the CEO and
Disclosed Executives to find the award meaningful.

Relative TSR
performance
hurdle and TSR
comparator group

For the 2016 (and 2015) awards, the Select Financial Services TSR comparator group is comprised of the following
nine companies:}} Bank of Queensland Limited}} Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited}} Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited}} DBS Bank Limited}} Macquarie Group Limited}} National Australia Bank Limited}} Standard Chartered PLC}} Suncorp Group Limited}} Westpac Banking Corporation

The proportion of performance rights that become exercisable in each tranche will depend upon the TSR achievedby ANZ relative to the companies in the relevant comparator group at the end of the three year performance period.
An averaging calculation is used for TSR over a 90 day period for start and end values in order to reduce the impact
of share price volatility. To ensure an independent TSR measurement, ANZ engages the services of an externalorganisation (Mercer Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd) to calculate ANZ’s performance against the TSR hurdles. The
level of performance required for each level of vesting, and the percentage of vesting associated with each levelof performance, are set out below. The performance rights lapse if the performance condition is not met. Thereis no re-testing.

Absolute TSR
performance hurdle

To strengthen the focus of executives on growing positive returns to shareholders, Absolute CAGR TSR was introduced
in 2015 as an internal hurdle contingent on ANZ achieving or exceeding a threshold level of growth (as determined by
the Board). The combination of absolute and relative TSR hurdles provides balance to the plan, rewarding executives
for performance that exceeds that of peer companies, while still ensuring there is a continued focus on providing
positive growth (even when the market is declining). Absolute CAGR TSR provides executives with a more direct lineof sight to the performance required to achieve shareholder value creation and provides a tighter correlation between
the executives’ rewards and the shareholders’ financial outcomes.
The level of performance required for each level of vesting and the percentage of vesting associated with each levelof performance are set out below. The performance rights lapse if the performance condition is not met. There is no

6.3 OTHER REMUNERATION ELEMENTS
Hedging and Margin Lending Prohibition
As specified in the Trading in ANZ Securities Policy and in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, equity allocated under ANZ variable
remuneration plans must remain at risk until fully vested (in the case of deferred shares) or exercisable (in the case of deferred share rights
or performance rights). As such, it is a condition of grant that no schemes are entered into, by an individual or their associated persons, thatspecifically protects the unvested value of shares, deferred share rights or performance rights allocated. Doing so would constitute a breachof the grant conditions and would result in the forfeiture of the relevant shares, deferred share rights or performance rights.
ANZ also prohibits the NEDs, CEO and Disclosed Executives from providing ANZ securities in connection with a margin loan or similar financing
arrangements which may be subject to a margin call or loan to value ratio breach.
To monitor adherence to this policy, ANZ’s NEDs, CEO and Disclosed Executives are required to sign an annual declaration stating that they andtheir associated persons have not entered into (and are not currently involved in) any schemes to protect the value of their interests in any ANZ
securities. Based on the 2016 declarations, ANZ can advise that the NEDs, CEO and Disclosed Executives are fully compliant with this policy.
CEO and Disclosed Executives Shareholding Guidelines
The CEO and Disclosed Executives are expected to accumulate ANZ shares over a five year period, to the value of 200% of their fixed
remuneration and to maintain this shareholding while an executive of ANZ. Shareholdings for this purpose include all vested and allocated(but unvested) equity which is not subject to performance hurdles. Based on equity holdings as at 30 September 2016, the CEO and all Disclosed
Executives meet or, if less than five years’ tenure, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding requirement apart from Alistair Currie, whois stepping down from his role as announced to the market.
Conditions of Grant
The conditions under which deferred shares, deferred share rights and performance rights are granted are approved by the Board in accordancewith the rules of the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and/or the ANZ Share Option Plan.
Where deferred share rights or performance rights are granted, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent
payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion.
CEO and Disclosed Executives’ Contract Terms
The following sets out details of the contract terms relating to the CEO and Disclosed Executives. The contract terms for the CEO and all

1 The Group has used cash profit as a measure of performance for ongoing business activities of the Group, enabling shareholders to assess Group and Divisional performance against priorperiods and against peer institutions since 1 October 2012. Statutory profit has been adjusted for non-core items to arrive at cash profit. Cash profit is not audited; however, the external auditor
has informed the Audit Committee that the cash profit adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across the respective periods presented.

Figure 3 compares ANZ’s TSR performance against the median TSR and upper quartile TSR of the performance rights Select Financial Services(SFS) comparator group over the 2012 to 2016 measurement period. ANZ’s TSR performance is below the median TSR of the SFS comparatorgroup over the five year period to 30 September 2016. Although this is across a different performance period, it is consistent with the outcomesof the most recently tested performance rights grants.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

7.2 VARIABLE REMUNERATION – PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES
ANZ uses a balanced scorecard approach to measure performance in relation to the Group’s main variable remuneration plans. The scorecard
approach provides a framework whereby a combination of measures can be applied to ensure a broader long term strategic focus on driving
shareholder value as well as a focus on annual priorities.
The balanced scorecard is aligned to the Group’s long term strategic intent under the themes of High Performing, Most Respected, Well
Managed, Best Connected and Customer Driven, with each of the five categories having broadly equal weighting. The Board reviews
performance against the balanced scorecard and also assesses affordability in light of Group net profit after tax and returns to shareholders,
including the level of dividend, in determining the overall reward pool size.
The original balanced scorecard for 2016 was based on the operating plans approved by the Board in October 2015; these were subsequently
adjusted, following the appointment of Shayne Elliott as CEO on 1 January 2016, with the Board’s endorsement. The changed priorities wereconsidered as being in the best interests of shareholders over the longer term and include:}} Rebalancing of the Institutional portfolio through a reduction in credit risk weighted assets in the year with consequent reduction in revenues.
}} Driving a productivity agenda in light of the subdued revenue outlook.
Whilst these changes in strategic priorities have adversely impacted performance against all of the High Performing category and some of theBest Connected, Customer Driven and Most Respected categories in the short term, they have been implemented quickly and effectively andset the Bank up well for the longer term. The Board has taken all these factors into account as well as strategic progress in creating long term
value and the reduction in dividend to shareholders. Focus has also been given to adherence to values including building an appropriate
culture and balancing risk and return in making remuneration recommendations.
Overall spend approved by the Board for the main annual variable remuneration pool was below target levels with a range of underlying
outcomes for Disclosed Executives, in line with ANZ’s objectives of differentiating reward based on performance.
The Group’s financial performance is below target, predominantly impacted by short term outcomes in Institutional as a result of changed
priorities, and a number of specified items including changes to the application of the Group’s software capitalisation policy, impairment of an
Asian minority investment and changes in the credit valuation adjustment methodology for derivatives and restructuring expenses. Australia
and New Zealand have performed well, and Wealth and Retail Asia also generated solid performances. The Group has made strong progressin implementing new strategic priorities, including a $28 billion reduction in Institutional's credit risk weighted assets and containing costs.
The Group has performed well against the Well Managed category. Most Respected, Best Connected and Customer Driven scorecard
outcomes have been mixed / slightly below target, partially due to changes to strategic priorities during the year.
The following provides key measures within each category of the balanced scorecard used in 2016.
Category

MeasureHigh Performing

Outcome1
Below Target:

Revenue

Revenue of $20,577 million, up (+0.2%) on 2015. Strong growth in Australia and New Zealand
was largely offset by lower growth in Institutional reflecting the challenging market conditions
and the rebalancing of the Institutional portfolio, the impairment of our AmBank investment
and the impact of a derivative credit valuation adjustment methodology change.

Economic profit2

Economic profit of $1,278 million (determined using a 10% Cost of Capital), was down 56%
due to the impact of “Specified Items3” as well as higher capital holdings reflecting the higher
capital requirements.

Return on equity (ROE)

Cash ROE of 10.3% was down from 14.0% in 2015 due to the impact of “Specified Items” andthe higher capital requirements. Excluding the “Specified Items” ROE for the year was 12.2%.

Cash earnings per share Cash EPS of 202.6 cents was down from 260.3 cents in 2015 reflecting both the impact of the(EPS)“Specified Items” and the impacts of share issuances from raising capital in 2015. Excluding
the “Specified Items” cash EPS was 239.7 cents.
Most Respected

Slightly Below Target:
Workforce diversity

Workforce diversity is core to delivering on our super regional strategy. The percentage ofmanagement roles filled by women has increased from 40.4% to 41.5% year on year4. ANZ
is focused on increasing the diversity of its workforce.

Employee engagement An engaged workforce is regarded as an important driver of sustainable long term performance.
The continuing challenging business conditions and significant bank-wide changes over theyear have contributed to a decline in employee engagement to 74% in 2016 compared to
76% in 2015.
Senior leaders as rolemodels of our values

The overall assessment of Senior Leaders as role models of our values has increased to 72%
in 2016 from 71% in 2015.

Well Managed

On Target:
Maintain strong
credit rating

Maintained a strong credit rating at AA- which is fundamental to the ongoing stabilityof the Group.

Core funding ratio (CFR) Maintained a strong CFR of 89.7%, through disciplined balance sheet management.
Cost to income ratio

Cost to income ratio of 50.6% was significantly higher than 2015 due to the impact
of “Specified Items”.

Number of repeat
adverse internal
audit ratings

ANZ Internal Audit conduct reviews to identify weaknesses in procedures and compliancewith policies. In 2016 there were 4 repeat adverse audit ratings out of 183 reports (2015 – Nil).

Best Connected

Slightly Below Target:
Growth in products per
customer

In 2016, products per customer remained stable in Australia, New Zealand and Institutional,
with Wealth division increasing the number of wealth solutions in ANZ channels and increasing
customer numbers in Private Bank.

Growth in cross-borderrevenue

Growth in cross-border revenue declined from 1.1% in 2015 to -1.5% in 2016 due to the run-off
of lower return portfolios as a result of the change in strategic priorities and lower external
credit growth, especially in Asia.

Customer Driven

Slightly Below Target:
Customer satisfaction(based on externalsurvey outcomes)

ANZ tracks customer satisfaction across its businesses as part of a group of indicators of longer
term performance trends. ANZ aims to achieve top quartile customer satisfaction scores in eachbusiness based on external surveys.
In 2016, both customer satisfaction and market share in Australia Retail have decreased slightly,
and Corporate and Commercial segment also had a lower customer satisfaction rate.
Customer satisfaction in New Zealand is stable across Personal, Commercial and Rural customer
segments. While New Zealand Retail has a higher market share, Commercial and Agri-Business’
market share has declined partly as a result of change of strategic direction.
Institutional has maintained #1 ranking in terms of customer satisfaction (Peter Lee Surveys)
in APEA and New Zealand. In Australia Institutional has improved to No. 1 from No. 2 last year.

1 The outcomes of these key measures are derived from unaudited financial and non-financial information.
2 Economic profit is an unaudited risk adjusted profit measure determined by adjusting cash profit for economic credit costs, the benefit of imputation credits and the cost of capital.
3 The impacts of “Specified Items” include the impacts of changes to the application of the Group's software capitalisation policy, an Asia Partnership impairment charge (AmBank), gainon cessation of equity accounting (Bank of Tianjin), restructuring expenses, changes in the credit valuation adjustment methodology for derivatives and the divestment of Esanda Dealer
Finance portfolio. Further details are provided in ANZ's 2016 Annual Report on page 19.
4 Includes all employees regardless of leave status but not contractors (which are included in FTE).

8. 2016 Remuneration
8.1 NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS (NEDS)
Principles underpinning the remuneration policy for NEDs.
Principle

Comment

Aggregate Board and Committee fees arewithin the maximum annual aggregate
limit approved by shareholders

The current aggregate fee pool for NEDs of $4 million was approved by shareholders at the 2012
Annual General Meeting. The annual total of NEDs’ fees, including superannuation contributions,is within this agreed limit.

Fees are set by reference to key
considerations

Board and Committee fees are set by reference to a number of relevant considerations including:}} general industry practice and best principles of corporate governance;}} the responsibilities and risks attached to the role of NEDs;}} the time commitment expected of NEDs on Group and Company matters; and}} fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies.
ANZ compares NED fees to a comparator group of Australian listed companies with a similar
size market capitalisation, with particular focus on the major financial services institutions.
This is considered an appropriate group, given similarity in size, nature of work and timecommitment required by NEDs.

The remuneration structure preserves
independence whilst aligning interestsof NEDs and shareholders

So that independence and impartiality is maintained, fees are not linked to the performanceof the Company and NEDs are not eligible to participate in any of the Group’s variable
remuneration arrangements.

Components of NED Remuneration
NEDs receive a base fee for being a Director of the Board, and additional fees for either chairing or being a member of a Board Committee.
The Chairman of the Board does not receive additional fees for service on a Board Committee.
NEDs also receive superannuation contributions in accordance with the current Superannuation Guarantee legislation (up to theGovernment’s prescribed maximum contributions limit) which satisfies the Company’s statutory superannuation contributions.
Based on an independent assessment of market practice the Board elected to increase the ANZ Chairman fee and NED base fee, and theCommittee Chair and Member fees for the HR and Risk Committees as shown below. The Committee Chair and Committee Member fees
for the Audit, Governance and Technology Committees remained unchanged for 2016.

NED Shareholding Guidelines
The NED shareholding guidelines require NEDs to accumulate shares, over a five year period from appointment, to the value of 100%
(200% for the Chairman) of the NED base fee and to maintain this shareholding while a Director of ANZ. NEDs have agreed that where
their holding is below this guideline they will direct a minimum of 25% of their fees each year toward achieving this shareholding.
All NEDs have met or, if appointed within the last five years, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding requirement.

3 Amounts disclosed for remuneration of Directors exclude insurance premiums paid by the Group in respect of Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts. The total premium, which cannot
be disclosed because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the Directors believe that noreasonable basis for such allocation exists.

8.2 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
Actual remuneration provided to the CEO in 2016 is detailed below, with remuneration tables provided in Section 8.4.
Fixed remuneration: The CEO’s annual fixed remuneration was set at commencement at $2.1 million.
AVR: The CEO has a target AVR opportunity of $2.1 million. The actual amount awarded can increase or decrease from this number dependent
on his performance as CEO and the performance of the organisation as a whole. Specifically, if, in the Board’s view, the CEO has performed
above/below his targets the Board may exercise its discretion to increase/decrease the AVR from his target payment.
The Board approved the Former CEO’s 2016 balanced scorecard annual objectives and the Group’s longer term strategic goals at the start of thebank financial year. The Current CEO has been assessed against these in combination with the new targets set at the time of his appointment.
The CEO’s AVR payment for 2016 was then determined having regard to his delivery against these objectives, the overall performance of theorganisation and the shareholder experience (including the reduction in the dividend). Accordingly the AVR payment for 2016 is $1,550,000(around 80% of target) with half paid in cash and half awarded as deferred shares (25% deferred for one year, 25% deferred for two years,
25% deferred for three years and 25% deferred for four years).
LTVR: At the 2015 Annual General Meeting shareholders approved an LTVR grant of performance rights to the incoming CEO with a face valueof $4.2 million (at 100% vesting), divided into three equal tranches. The performance condition for Tranches 1 and 2 is based on relative
TSR against set comparator groups, and for Tranche 3 is based on ANZ’s Absolute CAGR TSR performance against targets set by the Board.
Performance will be assessed at the end of the three year performance period commencing 18 November 2015 (with no retesting). The total
number of performance rights granted was determined by splitting the face value at 100% vesting into three equal tranches of $1.4 million eachand then dividing these amounts by the five trading day VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX in the week up to, and including,
18 November 2015 (the start of the performance period), of $26.32. This equated to 53,191 performance rights being allocated each for the first,
second and third tranches.
For 2016, it is proposed to grant LTVR with a face value of $4,200,000 (100% vesting) as performance rights subject to shareholder approval at
the 2016 Annual General Meeting, reflecting the importance of focusing the CEO on the achievement of longer term strategic objectives andalignment with shareholders’ interests. The LTVR will be delivered as 75% in Tranche 1 (Select Financial Services comparator group) and 25%
in Tranche 2 (Absolute CAGR TSR), subject to testing after three years (with no retesting).
8.3 DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
Actual remuneration provided to the Disclosed Executives in 2016 is summarised below, with remuneration tables provided in Section 8.4.
Fixed remuneration: For each of the Disclosed Executive appointments in 2016, fixed remuneration was set lower than that of the priorincumbent (where relevant). The annual review of ANZ’s fixed remuneration levels for Disclosed Executives identified that most existing
executives were competitively positioned within the market and therefore an adjustment was only made to one executive (Mark Whelan).

Variable Remuneration (VR): All AVR awarded in the 2016 financial year related to performance from the 2015 financial year
(paid/granted in November/December 2015).
In determining VR outcomes each year the Board takes into consideration overall Company performance against the balanced scorecardof measures, along with individual performance against set objectives.
Overall, the total amount of VR for Disclosed Executives for the 2016 year (which are paid/granted in November/December 2016) is significantly
lower than what was paid to the same group of people for the prior year reflecting a more challenging year. Nevertheless it should be noted thatthe progress in reducing credit risk weighted assets in order to rebalance the Institutional portfolio, together with significant sustainable cost
reductions, are important for positioning the bank for longer term success.
8.4 REMUNERATION TABLES – CEO AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES
Tables 5 and 6: Awarded Remuneration Disclosure has been prepared to provide shareholders with a view of remuneration structure and how
remuneration was awarded to the CEO and Disclosed Executives for 2015 and 2016. The Board believes presenting information in this way
provides the shareholder with increased clarity and transparency of the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ remuneration, clearly showing theamounts awarded for each remuneration component (fixed remuneration and variable remuneration) within the financial year as well as theamounts actually received.
The information provided in Tables 5 and 6 differs from the information provided in Table 7: Statutory Remuneration Disclosure, which has been
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. A description of the difference between the three tables in relation to the 2016
financial year information is provided below:

1 Cash salary includes adjustments made in relation to the utilisation of ANZ's Lifestyle Leave Policy, where applicable.
2 Non monetary benefits generally consist of company-funded benefits such as car parking and taxation services. This item also includes costs met by the company in relation to relocation, gifts
received on leaving ANZ for former Disclosed Executives, and life insurance for the former CEO. The fringe benefits tax payable on any benefits is also included in this item.
3 The total cash incentive relates to the cash component only, with the relevant amortisation of the AVR/VR deferred components included in share-based payments and amortised over the vesting
period. The total AVR/VR was approved by the Board on 13 October 2016. 100% of the cash component of the AVR/VR awarded for the 2015 and 2016 years vested to the Disclosed Executive in theapplicable financial year.
4 The possible range of AVR/VR is between 0 and 1.5 times target AVR/VR. The actual AVR/VR received is dependent on ANZ and individual performance. Anyone who received less than 100%of target forfeited the rest of their AVR/VR entitlement. The minimum value is nil and the maximum value is what was actually paid.
5 For all Australian based Disclosed Executives, the superannuation contribution reflects the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution – individuals may elect to take this contribution
as superannuation or a combination of superannuation and cash.
6 Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ prior to November 1992, D Hisco, G Hodges and N Williams are eligible to receive a Retirement Allowance onretirement, retrenchment, death, or resignation for illness, incapacity or domestic reasons. The Retirement Allowance is calculated as follows: three months of preserved notional salary (which is
65% of Fixed Remuneration) plus an additional 3% of notional salary for each year of full time service above 10 years, less the total accrual value of long service leave (including taken and untaken).
7 In accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based payments, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of allequity that had not yet fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period.
The amount included as remuneration is not related to nor indicative of the benefit (if any) that may ultimately be realised should the equity become exercisable.
8 Remuneration amounts disclosed exclude insurance premiums paid by the consolidated entity in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts which cover current and former KMPof the controlled entities. The total premium, which cannot be disclosed because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, basedon all available information, the directors believe that no reasonable basis for such allocation exists.
9 While the CEO is an Executive Director, he has been included in this table with the Disclosed Executives.
10 M Carnegie commenced in a Disclosed Executive role on 27 June 2016 so 2016 remuneration reflects partial service year. As part of M Carnegie’s employment arrangement, she will receive $836,000
in cash (of which $736,000 was paid in 2016) and $3.264 million in deferred equity vesting from November 2016 to June 2018, as compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferredremuneration forfeited.
11 D Hisco was eligible in 2015 and 2016, and F Ohlssson in 2016, to receive shares in relation to the Employee Share Offer, which provides a grant of ANZ shares in each financial year to eligible
employees subject to Board approval. Refer to note 39 Employee Share and Option Plans for further details on the Employee Share Offer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1: Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking
Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group)for the year ended 30 September 2016 were authorised for issue inaccordance with a resolution of the Directors on 2 November 2016.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The addressof the Company’s registered office is ANZ Centre, Level 9, 833 Collins
Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008.
The Company and Group are for-profit entities.
ANZ provides a broad range of banking and financial products andservices to retail, high net worth, small business, corporate andcommercial and institutional customers.
Geographically, operations span Australia, New Zealand, a numberof countries in the Asia Pacific region, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and the United States.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of thesefinancial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied by the Company and all Group entities for all
years presented in these financial statements.
A) BASIS OF PREPARATION
i) Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company and Group are general
purpose financial statements (Tier 1) which have been preparedin accordance with the relevant provisions of the Banking Act 1959,
Australian Accounting Standards (AASs) and other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board(AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are Standards andInterpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB). IFRS forms the basis of AASs. The Group’s applicationof AASs ensures that the financial statements of the Company andGroup comply with IFRS.
ii) Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires the useof management judgement, estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts and the application of accounting policies.
Discussion of the critical accounting treatments, which include
complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are covered innote 2. Such estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis.
iii) Basis of measurement
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with thehistorical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities
are stated at their fair value:}} derivative financial instruments;}} available-for-sale financial assets;}} financial instruments held for trading; and}} assets and liabilities designated as fair value through profit or loss.
In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts (‘AASB 1038’), life
insurance liabilities are measured using the Margin on Services model.
In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits (‘AASB 119’), defined
benefit obligations are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

68iv) Rounding
The Company is an entity of the kind referred to in Australian
Securities and Investments Commission Corporations Instrument
2016/191. Consequently, amounts in the financial statements
have been rounded to the nearest million dollars, except whereotherwise indicated.
v) Comparatives
Certain amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified
to conform with current period financial statement presentations.
Refer to note 43 for further details.
vi) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise thefinancial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. An entity,
including a structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of the Group
when it is determined that control over the entity exists. Control isdeemed to exist when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability
to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Poweris assessed by examining existing rights that give the Group thecurrent ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity.
At times, the determination of control can be judgemental. Further
detail on the judgement involved in assessing control has been
provided in note 2 (iii).
The effect of all transactions between entities in the Group has
been eliminated.
Where subsidiaries are sold or acquired during the year, theiroperating results are included to the date of disposal or from thedate of acquisition. When control ceases, the assets and liabilitiesof the subsidiary, any related non-controlling interest and othercomponents of equity are derecognised.
Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is initially measured
at fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in theincome statement.
In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries
are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
vii) Associates
The equity method is applied to accounting for associates in boththe consolidated financial statements of the Group and the financial
statements of the Company.
Under the equity method, the share of results of associates
is included in the income statement and statement of othercomprehensive income. Investments in associates are carriedin the balance sheet at cost plus the post-acquisition share ofchanges in associates’ net assets less accumulated impairment.
Investments in associates are reviewed for any indication of
impairment at least at each reporting date. Where an indicationof impairment exists the recoverable amount of the associate isdetermined based on the higher of the associate’s fair value lesscosts to sell and its value in use. A discounted cash flow methodology
and other methodologies such as the capitalisation of earnings
methodology are used to determine the recoverable amount.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)viii) Fiduciary activities
The Group provides fiduciary services to third parties including
custody, nominee, trustee, administration and investment
management services predominantly through the Wealth segment.
This involves the Group holding assets on behalf of third parties
and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial
instruments. In circumstances where ANZ is not the beneficial
owner or does not control the assets, they are not recognisedin these financial statements.
ix) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each Group entity aremeasured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (the functional currency).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the datesof the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities resulting from foreign currencytransactions are subsequently translated at the spot rate atreporting date.
Exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary
items and translation differences on monetary items translated at rates
different to those at which they were initially recognised or included
in a previous financial report, are recognised in the income statementin the period in which they arise.
Translation differences on non-monetary items measured at fairvalue through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value
gain or loss on these items.
Translation differences on non-monetary items classified as availablefor-sale financial assets are included in the available-for-salerevaluation reserve in equity.
Translation to presentation currency
The results and financial position of all Group entities (noneof which has the functional currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from theGroup’s presentation currency are translated into the Group’s
presentation currency as follows:}} assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange rulingat reporting date;}} revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate
for the period, unless this average is not a reasonable approximationof the rate prevailing on transaction date, in which case revenue andexpenses are translated at the exchange rate ruling at transaction
date; and}} all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign
currency translation reserve.
When a foreign operation is disposed, cumulative exchange
differences are recognised in the income statement as part of thegain or loss on sale.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation is treatedas an asset of the foreign operation and translated at the spot rate
at reporting date.

B) INCOME RECOGNITION
i) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest
rate method.
The effective interest rate method calculates the amortised cost ofa financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income
or interest expense over the expected life of the financial asset or
financial liability so as to achieve a constant yield on the financial
asset or liability.
For assets subject to prepayment, expected life is determined on thebasis of the historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio, taking
into account contractual obligations and prepayment experience.
This is assessed on a regular basis.
ii) Fee and commission income
Fees and commissions received that are integral to the effective
interest rate of a financial asset are recognised using the effective
interest rate method. For example, loan origination fees, together
with related direct costs, are deferred and recognised as an
adjustment to the effective interest rate on a loan once drawn.
Fees and commissions that relate to the execution of a significant
act (for example, advisory or arrangement services, placement fees
and underwriting fees) are recognised when the significant act has
been completed.
Fees charged for providing ongoing services (for example,
maintaining and administering existing facilities) are recognised
as income over the period the service is provided.
iii) Dividend income
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive
payment is established.
iv) Leasing income
Income on finance leases is recognised on a basis that reflects a
constant periodic return on the net investment in the finance lease.
v) Gain or loss on sale of assets
The gain or loss on the disposal of assets is determined as thedifference between the carrying amount of the asset at the timeof disposal and the proceeds of disposal, net of incremental disposal
costs. This is recognised as an item of other income in the year in which
the significant risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer.
C) EXPENSE RECOGNITION
i) Interest expense
Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised costis recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.
ii) Loan origination expenses
Certain loan origination expenses are an integral part of the effective
interest rate of a financial asset measured at amortised cost. Theseloan origination expenses include:}} fees and commissions payable to brokers and certain customer
incentive payments in respect of originating lending business; and}} other expenses of originating lending business, such as external
legal costs and valuation fees, provided these are direct andincremental costs related to the origination of a financial asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

69

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Such loan origination expenses are initially recognised as partof the cost of acquiring the financial asset and amortised as partof the effective yield of the financial asset over its expected life
using the effective interest rate method.
iii) Share-based compensation expense
The Group has various equity settled share-based compensationplans. These are described in note 39 and comprise the ANZ
Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ Share Option Plan.
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan
The fair value of ANZ ordinary shares granted under the Employee
Share Acquisition Plan is measured at grant date, using the one-day
volume weighted average market price of ANZ shares. The fair value
is expensed on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period.
This is recognised as share-based compensation expense witha corresponding increase in share capital.
ANZ Share Option Plan
The fair value of share options (deferred share rights, performancerights) is measured at grant date, using an option pricing model.
The fair value is expensed on a straight line basis over the relevant
vesting period. This is recognised as share based compensation
expense with a corresponding increase in the share options reserve.
The option pricing model takes into account the exercise price ofthe option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of ANZ’sordinary share price and other factors. Market vesting conditions
are taken into account in determining the fair value.
A deferred share right or a performance right is a right to acquirea share at nil cost to the employee subject to satisfactorily meetingtime and/or performance hurdles. For equity grants made after
1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may besatisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than shares at theBoard’s discretion.
Other adjustments
Subsequent to the grant of an equity-based award, the amountrecognised as an expense is reversed when an employee fails tosatisfy the minimum service period specified in the award upon
resignation, termination or notice of dismissal for serious misconduct.
The expense is not reversed where the award does not vest due
to the failure to meet a market-based performance condition.
iv) Lease payments
Leases entered into by the Group as lessee are predominantly
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
D) INCOME TAXi) Income tax expense
Income tax on earnings for the year comprises current and deferred
tax and is based on the applicable tax law in each jurisdiction.
It is recognised in the income statement as tax expense, except
when it relates to items credited directly to equity, in which case
it is recorded in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting
for a business combination, in which case it is included in thedetermination of goodwill.

70ii) Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income forthe year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at thereporting date, including any adjustment for tax payable in previous
periods. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised
as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
iii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive tax balance
sheet method. It is generated by temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their tax base.
Deferred tax assets, including those related to the tax effects ofincome tax losses and credits available to be carried forward, arerecognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences or unused tax losses and credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences, other than those relating to taxable temporary
differences arising from goodwill. They are also recognised for taxable
temporary differences arising on investments in controlled entities,
branches, and associates, except where the Group is able to control
the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that
temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets associated with these investments are recognised
only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference
will reverse in the foreseeable future and there will be sufficienttaxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of thetemporary difference.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates thatare expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability
giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (andtax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by thereporting date. The measurement reflects the tax consequences thatwould follow from the manner in which the Group, at the reporting
date, expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only to theextent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation
authority, there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis
and it is allowed under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction.
E) ASSETS
FINANCIAL ASSETSi) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Purchases and sales of trading securities are recognised on trade date.
Trading securities are financial instruments acquired principally for the
purpose of selling in the short-term or which are a part of a portfolio
which is managed for short-term profit-taking. Trading securities are
initially recognised and subsequently measured in the balance sheet
at their fair value.
Derivatives that are not effective accounting hedges are measured
at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group may designate certain financial assets and liabilities
as measured at fair value through profit or loss in any of thefollowing circumstances:

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)}} investments backing policy liabilities (refer to note 1 I (iii));}} life investment contract liabilities (refer to note 1 I (i));}} external unit holder liabilities (life insurance funds) (refer to note 1 l (ii);}} doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement
or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise frommeasuring assets and liabilities, or recognising the gains or losses
thereon, on different bases;}} a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both is managed
and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis; or}} the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unlessthe embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash
flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be
separately recorded.
Changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognisedin the income statement except in the case of financial liabilities
designated as fair value through profit or loss. For financial liabilities
designated as fair value through profit or loss, the amount of fair value
gain or loss attributable to changes in the Group’s own credit risk
is recognised in other comprehensive income (retained earnings).
The remaining amount of fair value gain or loss is recognised in profit
or loss. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are
not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
ii) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is derived
from one or more underlying price, index or other variable. They
include swaps, forward rate agreements, futures and options.
Derivative financial instruments are entered into for trading purposes(including customer-related reasons), or for hedging purposes where
the derivative instruments are used to hedge the Group’s exposures
to interest rate risk, currency risk, credit risk and other exposuresrelating to non-trading positions.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value
with gains or losses from subsequent measurement at fair value
being recognised in the income statement. Valuation adjustments
are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes
a derivative credit valuation adjustment (CVA) methodology change
to reflect the credit worthiness of the counterparty and a funding
valuation adjustment (FVA) to account for the funding cost inherent
in the portfolio.
Where the derivative is effective as a hedging instrument andis designated as such, the timing of the recognition of any
resultant gain or loss in the income statement is dependent
on the hedging designation.
Derivative credit valuation adjustment methodology change
In determining the fair value of a derivative the Group recognises
CVA to reflect the probability that the counterparty may default atsome point over the life of the transaction. It is calculated by applying
a probability of default (PD) on the potential estimated future positive
exposure of the counterparty after taking into account the impact ofcollateral arrangements. At 30 September 2016, the Group revised its
methodology for estimating CVA to align with industry best practice.
The revised methodology makes greater use of market information
for determining the PD and enhanced exposure modelling. At 30
September 2016 the effect of the changes in fair value as a result of
the revisions to the methodology was to increase the CVA applicable
to derivative positions by $237 million with a corresponding charge
recognised in Other operating income. It is impracticable to estimate
the effect of the changes in fair value estimate on future periods.

Fair value hedge
Where the Group hedges the fair value of a recognised asset
or liability or firm commitment, changes in the fair value of thederivative designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in theincome statement. Changes in the fair value of the hedged item
attributable to the hedged risk are reflected in adjustments tothe carrying value of the hedged item, which are also recognisedin the income statement.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, exercised or no longer qualifies forhedge accounting. The adjustment to the carrying amount of thehedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to the income
statement over the period to maturity of the hedged item.
If the hedged item is sold or repaid, the unamortised fair value
adjustment is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Cash flow hedge
The Group designates derivatives as cash flow hedges where theinstrument hedges the variability in cash flows of a recognised asset
or liability, a foreign exchange component of a firm commitment
or a highly probable forecast transaction. For qualifying cash flow
hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portionof the cash flow hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income
and then recycled to the income statement in the periods when thehedged item is recognised in the income statement. Any ineffective
portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. When thehedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated, or no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting, the cumulative amount deferred in equity
remains in the cash flow hedge reserve, and is subsequently
transferred to the income statement when the hedged item
is recognised in the income statement.
When a forecast hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur,
the amount deferred in the cash flow hedge reserve is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted forsimilarly to cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of the hedging
instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are deferredin the foreign currency translation reserve in other comprehensive
income and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in theincome statement.
The cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive
income is recognised in the income statement on the disposal
or partial disposal of a foreign operation.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
All gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are
not designated in a hedging relationship but are entered into to manage
the interest rate and foreign exchange risk of the Group are recognisedin the income statement. Under certain circumstances, the componentof the fair value change in the derivative which relates to current period
realised and accrued interest is included in Net interest income. The
remainder of the fair value movement is included in Other income.
iii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are recognisedon trade date being the date on which the Group commits to purchaseor sell the asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

71

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Available-for-sale financial assets comprise non-derivative financial
assets which the Group designates as available-for-sale but which are
not deemed to be held principally for trading purposes, and include
equity investments and debt securities.
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value
plus transaction costs. Subsequent gains or losses arising from changes
in fair value are included as a separate component of equity in theavailable-for sale revaluation reserve except for interest, dividends
and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which arerecognised directly in the income statement. When the asset is sold,the cumulative gain or loss relating to the asset is transferred from theavailable-for-sale revaluation reserve to the income statement.
Where there is objective evidence of impairment of an availablefor-sale financial asset, the cumulative loss related to that asset
is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement,
as an impairment expense for debt instruments or as other income
for equity instruments. If, in a subsequent period, the amountof an impairment loss relating to an available-for-sale debt instrument
decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment event, the loss is reversed throughthe income statement through the impairment expense line.
iv) Net loans and advances
Net loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
They arise when the Group provides money to a debtor with nointention of trading the loans and advances. Loans and advances
are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance. They aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method (refer to note 1 B (i)) unless specifically designatedon initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss.
All loans are graded according to the level of credit risk.
Net loans and advances includes direct finance provided to customers
such as bank overdrafts, credit cards, term loans, finance lease receivables
and commercial bills.
Impairment of loans and advances
Loans and advances are reviewed at least at each reporting datefor impairment.
Credit impairment provisions are raised for exposures that are known to
be impaired. Exposures are impaired and impairment losses are recorded
if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the loan and prior to the reporting date, and that loss event, or events,
has had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the individualloan or the collective portfolio of loans that can be reliably estimated.
Impairment is assessed for assets that are individually significant(or on a portfolio basis for small value assets) and then on a collective
basis for those exposures not individually known to be impaired.
Exposures that are assessed collectively are placed in pools of similar
assets with similar risk characteristics. The required provision isestimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets withcredit risk characteristics similar to those in the collective pool.
The historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observabledata such as changed economic conditions. The provision also takes
account of the impact of inherent risk of large concentrated losses
within the portfolio and an assessment of the economic cycle.
The estimated impairment losses are measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cash
flows discounted to their present value.
72

As the discount unwinds during the period between recognitionof impairment and recovery of the cash flow, it is recognised
in interest income.
Impairment of capitalised acquisition-related expenses is assessed
through comparing the actual behaviour of the portfolio against
initial expected life assumptions.
The provision for impairment loss (individual and collective)
is deducted from loans and advances in the balance sheet
and the movement for the reporting period is reflected in theincome statement.
When a loan is uncollectable, either partially or in full, it is written-off
against the related provision for loan impairment. Unsecured facilities
are normally written-off when they become 180 days past due
or earlier in the event of the customer’s bankruptcy or similar legal
release from the obligation. In the case of secured facilities, remainingbalances are written-off after proceeds from the realisation ofcollateral have been received if there is a shortfall.
Impairment losses recognised in previous periods are reversed in theincome statement if the estimate of the loss subsequently decreases.
A provision is also raised for off-balance sheet items such as loan
commitments that are considered to be onerous.
v) Lease receivables
Contracts to lease assets and hire purchase agreements are classified
as finance leases if they transfer substantially all the risks and rewardsof ownership of the asset to the customer or an unrelated third party.
All other lease contracts are classified as operating leases.
vi) Repurchase agreements
Securities sold under repurchase agreements are retained in thefinancial statements where substantially all the risks and rewardsof ownership remain with the Group. A counterparty liability
is recognised and classified as deposits and other borrowings.
The difference between the sale price and the repurchase priceis accrued over the life of the repurchase agreement and charged
to interest expense in the income statement.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell, where the Group
does not acquire the risks and rewards of ownership, are recorded asreceivables in cash or net loans and advances if the original maturity
is greater than 90 days. The security is not included in the balance
sheet. Interest income is accrued on the underlying loan amount.
Securities borrowed are not recognised in the balance sheet, unlessthese are sold to third parties, at which point the obligation to
repurchase is recorded as a financial liability at fair value with fairvalue movements included in the income statement.
vii) Derecognition
The Group enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets
recognised on its balance sheet yet retains either all or a portionof the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. If all, or substantiallyall, of the risks and rewards are retained, the transferred assets are
not derecognised from the balance sheet.
In transactions where substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred,
the Group derecognises the asset if control over the asset is lost.
In transfers where control over the asset is retained, the Group
continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing
involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed tochanges in the value of the transferred asset.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The rights and obligations retained or created in the transfer are
recognised separately as assets and liabilities as appropriate.
NON-FINANCIAL ASSETSviii) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over thefair value of the identifiable net assets of a controlled entity at the dateof gaining control. Goodwill is recognised as an asset and not amortised,
but is assessed for impairment at least annually or more frequently
if there is an indication that the goodwill may be impaired. This
involves using a discounted cash flow methodology or capitalisationof earnings methodology to determine the expected recoverable
amount of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which the goodwill
relates. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount,the difference is charged to the income statement. Any impairmentof goodwill is not subsequently reversed.
ix) Software
Software includes costs incurred in acquiring and building softwareand computer systems.
In the current year the Group made a number of changes to theapplication of its accounting policy relating to the capitalisationof internally generated software assets by increasing the thresholdfor capitalisation of software development spend, reflecting theincreasingly shorter useful life of smaller items of software, andby direct expensing of more project related costs. The impact ofthese changes was an accelerated amortisation charge of $556
million relating to previously capitalised software balances (ofthis, $183 million would otherwise have been amortised during the
September 2016 full year) and higher operating expenses during
the period of $370 million relating to development costs that would
otherwise have been capitalised. These costs would otherwise havebeen amortised to the Income Statement in future periods of up
to 5 years.
Software is amortised using the straight-line method over its
expected useful life to the Group. The period of amortisation is
between 3 and 5 years, except for certain major core infrastructure
projects where the useful life has been determined to be 7 or 10 years
and has been approved by the Audit Committee. The amortisation
period for software assets is reviewed at least annually. Where theexpected useful life of the asset is different from previous estimates
the amortisation period is changed prospectively.
At each reporting date, software assets are reviewed for impairment
indicators. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of
the assets are estimated and compared against the existing carrying
value. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount,the difference is charged to the income statement.
Costs incurred in planning or evaluating software proposals, orin maintaining systems after implementation, are not capitalised.
x) Acquired portfolio of insurance and investment business
Identifiable intangible assets in respect of acquired portfolios of
insurance and investment business acquired in a business combination
are stated initially at fair value at acquisition date. These are amortisedover the period of expected benefits of between 15 and 23 years.
The amortisation period is reviewed annually and the asset isreviewed for indicators of impairment. Any impairment identified
is charged to the income statement.
xi) Deferred acquisition costs
Refer to note 1 I (vii).

xii) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include management fee rights and aligned
advisor relationships.
Management fee rights and aligned advisor relationships areamortised over the expected useful lives to the Group using thestraight line method.
Where the intangible asset is assessed to have an indefinite life,
it is carried at cost less any impairment losses.
The period of amortisation is no longer than:Management fee rights
7 years
Aligned advisor relationships
8 years
The amortisation period is reviewed at least at the end of each annual
reporting period and changed if there has been a significant change
in the pattern of expected future benefits from the asset.
xiii) Premises and equipment
Assets other than freehold land are depreciated at rates based upon
their expected useful lives to the Group, using the straight-line
method. The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:
Buildings
1.5%
Building integrals
10%
Furniture and equipment
10%–20%Computer and office equipment
12.5%–33%
Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis overthe shorter of their useful life or the remaining term of the lease.
The depreciation rate is reviewed annually and changed if there has
been a significant change in the pattern of expected future benefits
from the asset.
At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of premises andequipment are reviewed for impairment. If any impairment indicator
exists, the recoverable amount of the assets are estimated andcompared against the carrying value. Where the carrying value
exceeds the recoverable amount, the difference is charged to theincome statement. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable
amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.
A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has
been an increase in the estimated recoverable amount.
xiv) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of qualifying assets
are capitalised into the cost of the qualifying asset during the periodof time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its
intended use. The calculation of borrowing costs is based on aninternal measure of the costs associated with the borrowing of funds.
F) LIABILITIESFINANCIAL LIABILITIESi) Deposits and other borrowings
Deposits and other borrowings include certificates of deposit, interest
bearing deposits, debentures and other similar interest bearing
financial instruments. Deposits and other borrowings not designatedat fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition are measured
at amortised cost. The interest expense is recognised using theeffective interest rate method.

Refer to note 1 E (i).
iii) Debt issuances and subordinated debt
Debt issuances and subordinated debt are accounted for in thesame way as deposits and other borrowings, except for those debt
securities which are designated as at fair value through profit or loss
on initial recognition.
iv) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts that require the issuer to makespecified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss the holder
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due,
are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on thedate the guarantee is given (typically this is the premium received).
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liabilities under suchguarantees are measured at the higher of their amortised amountand the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle any
financial obligation arising at the reporting date. These estimates
are determined based on experience of similar transactions andthe history of past losses.
v) Derecognition
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified
in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIESvi) Employee benefits
Leave benefits
The liability for long service leave (including on-costs) is calculated
and accrued for in respect of all applicable employees using
an actuarial valuation. Expected future payments for long service
leave are discounted using market yields at the reporting date
for a blended rate of high quality corporate bonds with terms
to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future
cash outflows. The amounts expected to be paid in respect of
employees’ entitlements to annual leave are accrued at expectedsalary rates including on-costs.
Defined contribution superannuation schemes
The Group operates a number of defined contribution schemes
and also contributes, according to local law, in the various countries
in which it operates, to government and other plans that havethe characteristics of defined contribution schemes.
The Group’s contributions to these schemes are recognised
as an expense in the income statement when incurred.
Defined benefit superannuation schemes
The Group operates a small number of defined benefit schemes. The
liability and expense related to providing benefits to employees undereach defined benefit scheme are calculated by independent actuaries.
A defined benefit liability is recognised to the extent that the present
value of the defined benefit obligation of each scheme, calculatedusing the Projected Unit Credit Method, is greater than the fair valueof each scheme’s assets. Where this calculation results in an assetof the Group, a defined benefit asset is recognised, which is cappedat the recoverable amount. In each reporting period, themovements in the net defined benefit liability are treated as follows:

74}} the net movement relating to the current period’s service cost, net
interest on the net defined benefit liability, past service costs andother costs (such as the effects of any curtailments and settlements)
is recognised as an operating expense in the Income Statement;}} remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise
actuarial gains and losses and return on scheme assets (excludinginterest income included in net interest), are recognised directly
in retained earnings through other comprehensive income; and}} contributions made by the Group are recognised directly against
the net defined benefit position.
vii) Provisions
The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation,
the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amountof the provision can be measured reliably.
The amount recognised is the best estimate of the consideration
required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking
into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation
at reporting date. Where a provision is measured using the estimatedcash flows required to settle the present obligation, its carrying
amount is the present value of those cash flows.
G) EQUITYi) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares in the Company are recognised at the amount
paid per ordinary share net of directly attributable issue costs.
ii) Treasury shares
Shares in the Company which are purchased on-market by the ANZ
Employee Share Acquisition Plan or issued by the Company to the
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan are classified as treasury shares(to the extent that they relate to unvested employee share based
awards) and are deducted from share capital.
In addition, the life insurance business may also purchase and holdshares in the Company to back policy liabilities in the life insurance
statutory funds. These shares are also classified as treasury shares anddeducted from share capital. These assets, plus any corresponding
income statement fair value movement on the assets and dividend
income, are eliminated when the life statutory funds are consolidated
into the Group. The cost of the investment in the shares is deductedfrom share capital. However, the corresponding life investment
contract and life insurance contract liabilities, and related changes
in the liabilities recognised in the income statement, remain
upon consolidation.
Treasury shares are excluded from the weighted average numberof ordinary shares used in the earnings per share calculations.
iii) Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interests represent the share in the net assetsof subsidiaries attributable to equity interests not owned directly
or indirectly by the Company.
iv) Reserves
Foreign currency translation reserve
As indicated in note 1 A (ix), exchange differences arising on translationof assets and liabilities into the Group’s presentation currency arereflected in the foreign currency translation reserve. Any offsetting
gains or losses on hedging these balances, together with any tax
effect, are also reflected in this reserve. When a foreign operation
is sold, attributable exchange differences are recognised in theincome statement.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Available-for-sale revaluation reserve
This reserve includes changes in the fair value and exchange
differences on the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets,
net of tax. These changes are transferred to the income statement(in other operating income) when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
Cash flow hedge reserve
This reserve includes the fair value gains and losses associated withthe effective portion of designated cash flow hedging instruments
net of tax. The cumulative deferred gain or loss on the hedge isrecognised in the income statement when the hedged transaction
impacts the income statement.
Share option reserve
This reserve includes the amounts which arise on the recognitionof share-based compensation expense (see note 1 C (iii)). Amounts
are transferred out of the reserve into share capital when the equity
instruments are exercised.
Transactions with non-controlling interests reserve
The transactions with non-controlling interests reserve represents
the impact of transactions with non-controlling shareholders in theircapacity as shareholders.
H) PRESENTATION
i) Offsetting of income and expenses
Income and expenses are not offset unless required or permitted
by an accounting standard. This generally arises in the following
circumstances:}} where transaction costs form an integral part of the effective
interest rate of a financial instrument which is measured
at amortised cost, these are offset against the interest income/expense as part of the effective yield; or}} where gains and losses arise from a group of similar transactions,such as foreign exchange gains and losses.
ii) Offsetting assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in thebalance sheet only where there is:}} a current enforceable legal right to offset the asset and liability; and}} an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset andsettle the liability simultaneously.
iii) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages inbusiness activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive
Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to thesegment and assess its performance, and for which discrete information
is available. Changes in the internal organisational structure of theGroup can cause the composition of the Group’s reportable segments
to change. Where this occurs corresponding segment information forthe previous financial year is restated, unless the information is notavailable and the cost to prepare it would be excessive.
I) LIFE INSURANCE AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT BUSINESSThe Group conducts its life insurance and funds managementbusiness (the Life Business) in Australia primarily through OnePath
Life Limited, which is registered under the Life Insurance Act 1995
(Life Act) and in New Zealand through OnePath Life (NZ) Limited
which is licensed under the Insurance (Prudential Supervision)
Act 2010.

The operations of the Life Business are conducted within separate
statutory funds, as required by the Life Act and are reported inaggregate with the shareholders’ fund in the Income Statement,
Statement of Changes in Equity, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Statements of the Group. The assets of the Life Business in Australia
are allocated between policyholder and shareholder funds inaccordance with the requirements of the Life Act. Under AASs,
the financial statements must include all assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and equity, irrespective of whether they are designatedas relating to shareholders or policyholders. Accordingly, theconsolidated financial statements include both policyholder(statutory) and shareholders’ funds.
i) Policy liabilities
Policy liabilities include liabilities arising from life insurance contracts
and life investment contracts.
Life insurance contracts are insurance contracts regulated under
the Life Act and similar contracts issued by entities operating
outside Australia. An insurance contract is a contract under which
an insurer accepts significant insurance risk from another party(the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a
specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder.
All contracts written by registered life insurers that do not meet thedefinition of an insurance contract are referred to as life investment
contracts. Life investment contract business relates to funds
management products in which the Group issues a contract where
the resulting liability to policyholders is linked to the performanceand value of the assets that back those liabilities.
Whilst the underlying assets are registered in the name of the life insurer
and the policyholder has no direct access to the specific assets, thecontractual arrangements are such that the policyholder bears the risks
and rewards of the fund’s underlying assets investment performancewith the exception of capital guaranteed products where thepolicyholder is guaranteed a minimum return or asset value. The Group
derives fee income from the administration of the underlying assets.
Life investment contracts that include a discretionary participation
feature (participating contracts) are accounted for as if they are life
insurance contracts under AASB 1038.
Life insurance liabilities
Life insurance liabilities are determined using the ‘Margin on Services’(MoS) model using a projection method. Under the projection
method, the liability is determined as the net present value of the
expected future cash flows, plus planned margins of revenues overexpenses relating to services yet to be provided, discounted using
a risk-free discount rate that reflects the nature, structure and termof the liabilities. Expected future cash flows include premiums,
expenses, redemptions and benefit payments, including bonuses.
Profits from life insurance contracts are brought to account using
the MoS model in accordance with Actuarial Standard LPS 340
Valuation of Policy Liabilities as issued by APRA under the Life Act
and Professional Standard 20 Determination of Life Insurance Policy
Liabilities as issued by the New Zealand Society of Actuaries. Under
the MoS model, profit is recognised as premiums are received andservices are provided to policyholders. When premiums are received
but the service has not been provided, the profit is deferred. Losses
are expensed when identified.
Costs associated with the acquisition of policies are recognised overthe period that the policy generates profits. Costs are only deferredto the extent that a contract is expected to be profitable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

75

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Participating contracts, defined as those contracts that entitle thepolicyholder to participate in the performance and value of certain assets
in addition to the guaranteed benefit, are entitled to share in the profitsthat arise from the participating business. This profit sharing is governedby the Life Act and the life insurance company’s constitution. The
profit sharing entitlement is treated as an expense in the consolidated
financial statements. Any benefits which remain payable at the endof the reporting period are recognised as part of life insurance liabilities.
Life investment contract liabilities
Life investment contracts consist of two components: a financial
instrument and an investment management service.
The financial instrument component of the life investment contract
liabilities is designated at fair value through profit or loss. The
investment management service component, including associatedacquisition costs, is recognised as revenue in the profit or loss as services
are performed. See note 1 I (vii) for the deferral and amortisation of life
investment contract acquisition costs and entry fees.
The life investment contract liability is directly linked to theperformance and value of the assets that back them and is determinedas the fair value of those assets after tax. For fixed income policies theliability is determined as the net present value of expected cash flows
subject to a minimum of current surrender value.
ii) External unit holder liabilities (life insurance funds)
The life insurance business includes controlling interests in investment
funds. The total amounts of the underlying assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses of the controlled entities are recognised in the Group’s
consolidated financial statements. When a controlled investment fundis consolidated, the share of the unit holder liability attributable to theGroup is eliminated but amounts due to external unit holders remain
as liabilities in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.
iii) Investments backing policy liabilities
All investments backing policy liabilities are designated as at fairvalue through profit or loss. All policyholder assets, being thoseassets held within the statutory funds of the life company that are notsegregated and managed under a distinct shareholder investment
mandate are held to back life insurance and life investment contract
liabilities (collectively referred to as policy liabilities).
iv) Claims
Claims are recognised when the liability to the policyholder under
the policy contract has been established or upon notification of theinsured event depending on the type of claim.
Claims incurred in respect of life investment contracts represent
withdrawals and are recognised as a reduction in life investment
contract liabilities.
Claims incurred that relate to the provision of services and bearing
of insurance risks are treated as expenses and these are recognisedon an accruals basis once the liability to the policyholder has been
established under the terms of the contract.
v) Revenue
Life insurance premiums
Life insurance premiums earned by providing services and bearing
risks are treated as revenue. For annuity, risk and traditional business,
all premiums are recognised as revenue. Premiums with no due date
are recognised as revenue on a cash received basis. Premiums with aregular due date are recognised as revenue on an accruals basis.

76

Unpaid premiums are only recognised as revenue during the daysof grace or where secured by the surrender value of the policy andare included as other assets in the balance sheet.
Life investment contract premiums
There is no premium revenue in respect of life investment contracts.
Life investment deposit premiums are recognised as an increase inpolicy liabilities. Amounts received from policyholders in respectof life investment contracts are recognised as an investment
contract liability where the receipt is in the nature of a deposit,
or progressively as an investment management fee.
Fees
Fees are charged to policyholders in connection with life insurance
and life investment contracts and are recognised when the service
has been provided. Entry fees from life investment contracts aredeferred and recognised over the average expected life of thecontracts. Deferred entry fees are presented within other liabilities
in the balance sheet.
vi) Reinsurance contracts
Reinsurance premiums, commissions and claim settlements,
as well as the reinsurance element of insurance contract liabilities,
are accounted for on the same basis as the underlying direct
insurance contracts for which the reinsurance was purchased.
vii) Policy acquisition costs
Life insurance contract acquisition costs
Policy acquisition costs are the fixed and variable costs of acquiring
new business. The appointed actuary assesses the value and future
recoverability of these costs in determining policy liabilities. The net
profit impact is presented in the income statement as a change inpolicy liabilities. The deferral is determined as the lesser of actual
costs incurred and the allowance for recovery of these costs fromthe premiums or policy charge as appropriate for each business class.
This is subject to an overall limit that future profits are anticipated
to cover these costs. Amounts which are deemed recoverable fromfuture premiums or policy charges are deferred and amortised overthe life of the policy. Losses arising on acquisition are recognised in
the income statement in the year in which they occur.
Life investment contract acquisition costs
Incremental acquisition costs, such as commissions, that are directly
attributable to securing a life investment contract are recognised
as an asset where they can be identified separately and measured
reliably and if it is probable that they will be recovered. Thesedeferred acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet as anintangible asset and are amortised over the period that they will berecovered from future policy charges.
Any impairment losses arising on deferred acquisition costs arerecognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur.
viii) Basis of expense apportionment
All life investment contracts and insurance contracts are categorised
based on individual policy or product. Expenses for these products
are then allocated between acquisition, maintenance, investment
management and other expenses.
Expenses which are directly attributable to an individual policy or
product are allocated directly to a particular expense category, fund,class of business and product line as appropriate. Where expenses
are not directly attributable to an individual policy or product, they
are appropriately apportioned based on detailed expense analysis
having regard to the objective in incurring that expense and theoutcome achieved.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The apportionment has been made in accordance with Actuarial
Standard LPS 340, issued by the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority, and on an equitable basis to the different classes of businessin accordance with Division 2 of Part 6 of the Life Act.
J) OTHERi) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured
at fair value at the acquisition date. At subsequent reporting dates thevalue of such contingent liabilities is reassessed based on the estimateof the expenditure required to settle the contingent liability.
Other contingent liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet
but disclosed in note 41 unless it is considered remote that the Groupwill be liable to settle the possible obligation.
ii) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) datafor its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit
or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by theweighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during
the period after eliminating treasury shares.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable
to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number ofordinary shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive ordinary shares.

AASB 16 Leases (‘AASB 16’)
The AASB issued the final version of AASB 16 in February 2016. The
standard is not mandatorily effective for the Group until 1 October
2019. AASB 16 requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset
representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a leaseliability representing its obligation to make lease payments. AASB 16
substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in
AASB 117 Leases.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of AASB
16 and is not yet able to reasonably estimate the impact on its
financial statements.

2: Critical Estimates and Judgements Usedin Applying Accounting Policies
The preparation of the financial statements of the Company andGroup involves making estimates and judgements that affect thereported amounts within the financial statements. The estimates andjudgements are continually evaluated based on historical factors andexpectations of future events, which are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. All material changes to accounting policies
and estimates and the application of these policies and judgements
are approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.
A brief explanation of the critical estimates and judgements follows.

iii) Accounting Standards not early adopted
The following accounting standards relevant to the Company and/or
the Group have been issued but are not yet effective and have not been
applied in these financial statements.

i) Provisions for credit impairment
The measurement of impairment of loans and advances requires
management’s best estimate of the losses incurred in the portfolio
at reporting date.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (‘AASB 9’)
The AASB issued the final version of AASB 9 in December 2014. When
operative, this standard will replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 addresses recognition andmeasurement requirements for financial assets and financial
liabilities, impairment requirements that introduce an expected credit
loss impairment model and general hedge accounting requirements
which more closely align with risk management activities undertaken
when hedging financial and non-financial risks.

Individual and collective provisioning involves the use of assumptions
for estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows.
The process of estimating the amount and timing of cash flows
involves considerable management judgement. These judgements
are regularly revised to reduce any differences between loss estimatesand actual loss experience.

AASB 9 is not mandatorily effective for the Group until 1 October
2018. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of
AASB 9 and is not yet able to reasonably estimate the impact
on its financial statements.
The Group early adopted, in isolation, the part of AASB 9 relating
to gains and losses attributable to changes in own credit risk offinancial liabilities designated as fair value through profit or loss
in the prior financial year (effective from 1 October 2013). Referto note 1 E (i) for a description of the accounting policy.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (‘AASB 15’)The AASB issued AASB 15 in December 2014. The standard is notmandatorily effective for the Group until 1 October 2018. AASB
15 contains new requirements for the recognition of revenue andadditional disclosures about revenue.
While it is expected that a significant proportion of the Group’s
revenue will be outside the scope of AASB 15, the Group is in theprocess of assessing the impact of AASB 15 and is not yet able
to reasonably estimate the impact on its financial statements.

The collective provision involves estimates regarding the historicalloss experience for assets with credit characteristics similar to thosein the collective pool. The historical loss experience is adjusted
based on current observable data and events and an assessmentof the impact of model risk. The provision also takes into accountmanagement’s assessment of the impact of large concentrated
losses inherent within the portfolio and the economic cycle.
The use of such judgements and reasonable estimates is consideredby management to be an essential part of the financial reporting
process and does not impact on the reliability of the provision.
ii) Impairment of non-lending assets
The carrying values of non-lending assets are subject to impairment
assessments at each reporting date. Judgement is required in
identifying the cash-generating units to which goodwill and otherassets are allocated for the purpose of impairment testing.
Impairment testing involves identifying appropriate internal andexternal indicators of impairment and whether these exist at eachreporting date. Where an indication of impairment exists, therecoverable amount of the asset is determined based on the higherof the assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Judgement
is applied when determining the assumptions supporting therecoverable amount calculations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

77

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

2: Critical Estimates and Judgements Used in Applying Accounting Policies (continued)
During the year the impairment assessment of non-lending assets
identified that two of the Group’s associate investments (AMMB
Holdings Berhad (Ambank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin))
had indicators of impairment; specifically their market value (basedon share price) was below their carrying value. The Group performed
value in use (VIU) calculations to assess if the carrying value ofthe investments were impaired. The VIU calculation is sensitive
to a number of key assumptions, including discount rate, longterm growth rates, future profitability and capital levels. The key
assumptions used in the VIU calculations are outlined in note 34.
The VIU calculation continues to support the carrying value of theinvestment in PT Panin, however did not support the carrying valueof the Group’s investment in Ambank. As a consequence the Group
recorded an impairment charge of $260 million for the full year to
reduce the carrying value to its VIU. The associate investment in
Ambank forms part of the TSO and Group Centre operating segment.
iii) Consolidation
The Company assesses, at inception and at each reporting date,whether a structured entity should be consolidated based on
the accounting policy outlined in note 1 A (vi). Such assessments
are predominantly required for structured entities involved insecuritisation activities and structured finance transactions, andinvestment funds. When assessing whether the Company controls(and therefore consolidates) such entities, judgement is required
about whether the Company has power over the relevant activities
as well as exposure to variable returns of that entity.
The Company is deemed to have power over an investment fundwhen it performs the function of Manager/Responsible Entity of thatinvestment fund. Whether the Company controls the investment funddepends on whether it holds that power as principal, or as an agent
for other investors. The Company is considered the principal, andthus controls an investment fund, when it cannot be easily removed
from the position of Manager/Responsible Entity by other investors
and has variable returns through significant aggregate economic
interest in that investment fund. In all other cases the Company isconsidered to be acting in an agency capacity and does not control
the investment fund.
iv) Financial instruments at fair value
The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value are statedin note 1 A (iii). In estimating the fair value of financial instruments
the Group uses quoted market prices in an active market,
wherever possible.
In the event that there is no active market for the instrument, fairvalue is based on present value estimates or other market acceptedvaluation techniques. The valuation models incorporate the impactof bid/ask spreads, counterparty credit spreads and other factors thatmarket participants would consider in determining the fair value.
The selection of appropriate valuation techniques, methodologies
and inputs requires judgement. These are reviewed and updated
as market practices evolve.
The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable
market data. However, for certain financial instruments, the fair value
cannot be determined with reference to current market transactions
or valuation techniques whose variables only include data fromobservable markets. For these financial instruments, the fair value
is determined using data derived and extrapolated from market data
and tested against historic transactions and observed market trends.
Application of professional judgement is required to analyse the data
available to support each assumption upon which these valuations
are based. Changing the assumptions changes the resulting estimateof fair value.
78

The majority of outstanding derivative positions are transacted overthe-counter where no active market exists for such instruments andtherefore need to be valued using valuation techniques. Includedin the determination of the fair value of derivatives is a CVA to reflect
the credit worthiness of the counterparty. Judgement is requiredin selecting the appropriate methodology and determining credit
related inputs where they are not readily observable. Further, inorder to account for the funding costs inherent in the derivative,
a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) is applied. Judgment is required
to determine the appropriate cost of funding and the future expectedcash flows used to determine FVA.
v) Provisions (other than loan impairment)
The Group holds provisions for various obligations including employee
entitlements, restructurings and litigation related claims. The provision
for long-service leave is supported by an independent actuarial reportand involves assumptions regarding employee turnover, future salary
growth rates and discount rates. Other provisions involve judgements
regarding the outcome of future events including estimates of
expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. Where relevant, expert
legal advice has been obtained and, in light of such advice, provisions
and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made.
vi) Life insurance contract liabilities
Policy liabilities for life insurance contracts are computed using
statistical or mathematical methods, which are expected to give
approximately the same results as if an individual liability wascalculated for each contract. The computations are made by suitably
qualified personnel on the basis of recognised actuarial methods,
with due regard to relevant actuarial principles and standards. The
methodology takes into account the risks and uncertainties of theparticular class of life insurance business written. Deferred policy
acquisition costs are connected with the measurement basis of life
insurance liabilities and are equally sensitive to the factors that areconsidered in the liability measurement.
The key factors that affect the estimation of these liabilities andrelated assets are:}} the cost of providing the benefits and administering theinsurance contracts;}} mortality and morbidity experience on life insurance products,
including enhancements to policyholder benefits;}} discontinuance experience, which affects the Company’s ability
to recover the cost of acquiring new business over the lives of thecontracts; and}} the amounts credited to policyholders’ accounts compared to thereturns on invested assets through asset-liability management
and strategic and tactical asset allocation.
In addition, factors such as regulation, competition, interest rates, taxes
and general economic conditions affect the level of these liabilities.
The total value of policy liabilities for life insurance contracts havebeen appropriately calculated in accordance with these principles.
vii) Taxation
Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of
uncertain tax positions. The Group estimates its tax liabilities basedon its understanding of the relevant law in each of the countries inwhich it operates and seeks independent advice where appropriate.

TAX CONSOLIDATIONThe Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The
Company is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income and deferred tax liabilities/assets arising from temporary
differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax
consolidated group on a ‘group allocation’ basis. Current tax liabilities and assets of the tax consolidated group are recognised by the Company(as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable
to or receivable by the Company and each member of the tax-consolidated group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable
between the Company and the other members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement.
Members of the tax-consolidated group have also entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities
between the entities should the head entity default on its income tax payment obligations.

New Zealand imputation credits of NZ 9 cents per fully paid ANZ ordinary share will also be attached to the 2016 final dividend (2015: NZ
11 cents). The 2016 interim dividend of 80 cents, paid 1 July 2016, was fully franked for Australian tax purposes (2015: interim dividend of
86 cents, paid 1 July 2015, fully franked for Australian tax purposes). New Zealand imputation credits of NZ 10 cents per fully paid ANZ ordinary
share were attached to the 2016 interim dividend (2015: NZ 10 cents).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

7: Dividends (continued)
The final proposed 2016 dividend will utilise the entire balance of $118 million franking credits available at 30 September 2016. Instalment tax
payments on account of the 2017 financial year which will be made after 30 September 2016 will generate sufficient franking credits to enable
the final 2016 dividend to be fully franked. The extent to which future dividends will be franked will depend on a number of factors, including
the level of profits that will be subject to tax in Australia.
New Zealand imputation credits can be attached to our Australian dividends, but may only be used by New Zealand resident shareholders.
The amount of available New Zealand imputation credits at the end of the financial year, adjusted for credits that will arise from the paymentof New Zealand income tax payable as at the end of the financial year and New Zealand imputation credits that will arise from dividends
receivable as at the end of the financial year, is NZ$3,494 million (2015: NZ$3,508 million).
RESTRICTIONS WHICH LIMIT THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
There are presently no significant restrictions on the payment of dividends from material controlled entities to the Company. There are various
capital adequacy, liquidity, foreign currency controls, statutory reserve and other prudential and legal requirements that must be observedby certain controlled entities and the impact of these requirements on the payment of cash dividends is monitored. In particular, if any interest
payment is not paid on any scheduled payment date on the ANZ NZ Capital Notes, ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited may be restricted frompaying a dividend on its ordinary shares (subject to a number of exceptions).
There are presently no significant restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company, although reductions in shareholders’ equity
through the payment of cash dividends are monitored having regard to the following:}} There are regulatory and other legal requirements to maintain a specified level of capital. Further, APRA has advised that a bank under
its supervision, including the Company, must obtain its written approval before paying dividends (i) on ordinary shares which exceed
its after tax earnings after taking into account any payments on more senior capital instruments in the financial year to which they relateor (ii) where the Company’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio falls within capital range buffers specified by APRA from time to time;}} The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provides that the Company must not pay a dividend on any instrument unless (i) it has sufficient net assets
for the payment, (ii) the payment is fair and reasonable to the Company’s shareholders as a whole, and (iii) the payment does not materially
prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors;}} The terms of the Company’s ANZ Convertible Preference Shares also limit the payment of dividends on these securities in certain circumstances.
Generally the Company may not pay a dividend on these securities if to do so would result in the Company becoming, or likely to become,insolvent or breaching specified capital adequacy ratios, if the dividend would exceed its after tax prudential profits (as defined by APRA fromtime to time) or if APRA so directs; and}} If any dividend, interest or redemption payments or other distributions are not paid on the scheduled payment date, or shares or otherqualifying Tier 1 securities are not issued on the applicable conversion or redemption dates, on the Company’s ANZ Convertible Preference
Shares, ANZ Capital Notes or ANZ Capital Securities in accordance with their terms, the Company may be restricted from declaring or paying
any dividends or other distributions on Tier 1 securities including ANZ ordinary shares and preference shares. This restriction is subject toa number of exceptions.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
During the year ended 30 September 2016, 7,937,264 fully paid ANZ ordinary shares were issued at $27.08 per share and 7,979,719 fully paid
ANZ ordinary shares at $24.82 per share to participating shareholders under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (2015: 8,031,825 fully paid ANZ
ordinary shares at $32.02 per share, and 27,073,309 fully paid ANZ ordinary shares at $31.93 per share). All eligible shareholders can elect toparticipate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
For the 2016 final dividend, no discount will be applied when calculating the ‘Acquisition Price’ used in determining the number of fully paid
ANZ ordinary shares to be provided under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan terms and conditions, and the ‘Pricing Period’
under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan terms and conditions will be the ten trading days commencing on 18 November
2016 (unless otherwise determined by the Directors and announced to ASX).
BONUS OPTION PLAN
The amount paid in dividends during the year has been reduced as a result of certain eligible shareholders participating in the bonus option planand foregoing all or part of their right to dividends. These shareholders were issued fully paid ANZ ordinary shares under the bonus option plan.
During the year ended 30 September 2016, 3,516,214 fully paid ANZ ordinary shares were issued under the Bonus Option Plan (2015: 2,899,350
fully paid ANZ ordinary shares).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

9: Segment Analysis(i) DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS
During 2016, the Group announced changes to the organisation's structure to better meet the needs of our retail, commercial and institutionalcustomers. As a result of these organisational changes there are now six reported divisions: Australia, New Zealand, Institutional, Asia Retail &Pacific, Wealth Australia and Technology, Services and Operations (TSO) and Group Centre.
These divisions were created by removing the Asia Retail & Pacific business from the former International and Institutional Banking (IIB)
division, and repositioning minority investments in Asia from IIB to the Group Centre with the residual IIB business re-named Institutional.
The New Zealand funds management and insurance businesses were repositioned to the New Zealand division, and the Private Bank business
was reorganised along geographic lines under the Australia, New Zealand and Asia Retail & Pacific divisions with the residual Global Wealthbusiness re-named Wealth Australia. Comparative information has been restated.
Other than those described above, there have been no significant structural changes. However, certain prior period comparatives have been
restated to align with current period presentation as a result of changes to customer segmentation and the continued realignment of support
functions. The TSO organisational changes announced in September 2016 did not take effect until 1 October 2016.
The primary sources of external revenue across all divisions are interest income, fee income and trading income. The Australia and New Zealanddivisions derive revenue from products and services from retail and commercial banking. The Institutional division derives its revenue from retailand institutional products and services. Wealth derives revenue from funds management and insurance businesses.
(ii) OPERATING SEGMENTS
Transactions between business units across segments within ANZ are conducted on an arms length basis.

13: Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is derived
from one or more underlying variables or indices defined in thecontract, require little or no initial net investment and are settled
at a future date. Derivatives include contracts traded on registeredexchanges and contracts agreed between counterparties. The useof derivatives and their sale to customers as risk management
products is an integral part of the Group’s trading and sales activities.
Derivatives are also used to manage the Group’s own exposure
to fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates as part of its
asset and liability management activities.
Derivative financial instruments are subject to market and credit risk,
and these risks are managed in a manner consistent with the risks
arising on other financial instruments. Refer to note 1 E (ii) on page 71
for further information.
The Group’s objectives and policies on managing risks that arise inconnection with derivatives, including the policies for hedging, areoutlined in note 20.
TYPES OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group transacts principally in foreign exchange, interest rate,commodity and credit derivative contracts. The principal types ofderivative contracts include swaps, forwards, futures and options
contracts and agreements.
Derivatives, except for those that are specifically designated as
effective hedging instruments, are classified as held for trading. The
held for trading classification includes two categories of derivative
financial instruments: those held as trading positions and thoseused in the Group’s balance sheet risk management activities.
TRADING POSITIONS
Trading positions arise from both sales to customers and market
making activities. Sales to customers include the structuring andmarketing of derivative products which enable customers to manage
their own risks. Market making activities consist of derivatives enteredinto principally for the purpose of generating profits from short-term
fluctuations in prices or margins. Positions may be traded actively
or held over a period of time to benefit from expected changes inmarket rates.
92

Trading derivatives are managed within the Group’s market risk
management policies, which are outlined in note 20.
Gains or losses, including any current period interest, from thechange in fair value of trading positions are recognised in the income
statement as ‘Other income’ in the period in which they occur.
BALANCE SHEET RISK MANAGEMENTThe Group designates balance sheet risk management derivatives
into hedging relationships in order to minimise income statement
volatility. This volatility is created by differences in the timing ofrecognition of gains and losses between the derivative and thehedged item. Hedge accounting is not applied to all balance sheet
risk management positions.
Gains or losses from the change in fair value of balance sheet risk
management derivatives that form part of an effective hedging
relationship are recognised in the income statement based on thehedging relationship. Any ineffectiveness is recognised in theincome statement as ‘Other income’ in the period in which it occurs.
Gains or losses, excluding any current period interest, from thechange in fair value of balance sheet risk management positions thatare not designated into hedging relationships are recognised in theincome statement as ‘Other income’ in the period in which they occur.
Current period interest is included in interest income and expense.
The tables on the following pages provide an overview of the Group’s
and the Company’s foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity
and credit derivatives. They include all trading and balance sheet
risk management contracts. Notional principal amounts measure
the amount of the underlying physical or financial commodity andrepresent the volume of outstanding transactions. They are not ameasure of the risk associated with a derivative. Further information
on netting of derivative financial instruments is included in note 24
Offsetting. The derivative instruments become favourable (assets)or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market rates
relative to the terms of the derivative. Notional amounts of thecontracts are not recorded on the Balance sheet.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING
There are three types of hedge accounting relationships: fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign
operation. Each type of hedge has specific requirements when accounting for the fair value changes in the hedge relationship. For details
on the accounting treatment of each type of hedge relationship refer to note 1 E (ii).
FAIR VALUE HEDGE ACCOUNTING
The risk being hedged in a fair value hedge is a change in the fair value of an asset or liability or unrecognised firm commitment that may affectthe income statement. Changes in fair value might arise through changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The Group’s fair value
hedges consist principally of interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fixed-rate
financial instruments due to movements in market interest rates and exchange rates.
The application of fair value hedge accounting results in the fair value adjustment on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk being
recognised in the income statement at the same time the hedging instrument impacts the income statement. If hedge relationships no longer
meet the criteria for hedge accounting, hedge accounting is discontinued and the fair value adjustment to the hedged item continues to berecognised as part of the carrying amount of the item or group of items and is amortised to the income statement as a part of the effective yieldover the period to maturity. Where the hedged item is derecognised from the Group’s balance sheet, the fair value adjustment is included in theincome statement as ‘other income’ as a part of the gain or loss on disposal.

CASH FLOW HEDGE ACCOUNTING
The risk being hedged in a cash flow hedge is the potential variability in future cash flows that may affect the income statement. The variability
in future cash flows may result from changes in interest rates or exchange rates affecting recognised financial assets and liabilities and highly
probable forecast transactions. The Group’s cash flow hedges consist principally of interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements and crosscurrency swaps that are used to protect against exposures to variability in future cash flows on non-trading assets and liabilities which bearinterest at variable rates or which are expected to be refunded or reinvested in the future. The Group primarily applies cash flow hedge
accounting to its variable rate loan assets, variable rate liabilities and short-term re-issuances of fixed rate customer and wholesale deposit
liabilities. The amounts and timing of future cash flows, representing both principal and interest flows, are projected for each portfolio offinancial assets and liabilities on the basis of their forecast repricing profile. This forms the basis for identifying gains and losses on the effective
portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives qualifying and designated as cash flow hedges is recognised initially in othercomprehensive income. These are recognised in the income statement in the period during which the hedged forecast transactions take place.
The ineffective portion of a designated cash flow hedge relationship is recognised immediately as other income in the income statement. The
schedule below shows the movements in the hedging reserve:

All underlying hedged cash flows are expected to be recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur which is anticipatedto take place over the next 0–10 years (2015: 0–10 years).
All gains and losses associated with the ineffective portion of the hedging derivatives are recognised immediately as ‘Other income’ in theincome statement. Ineffectiveness recognised in the income statement in respect of cash flow hedges amounted to a $5 million gain for
the Group (2015: nil) and a $5 million gain for the Company (2015: $1 million gain).
HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS
In a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the risk being hedged is the exposure to exchange rate differences arising on consolidationof foreign operations with a functional currency other than the Australian Dollar. Hedging is undertaken using foreign exchange derivative
contracts or by financing with borrowings in the same currency as the applicable foreign functional currency.
Ineffectiveness arising from hedges of net investments in foreign operations and recognised as ‘Other income’ in the income statement amounted
to nil (2015: nil).

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

19: Subordinated Debt (continued)
Subordinated debt is subordinated in right of payment to the claims of depositors and other creditors of the Company or its controlled entities
which have issued the notes or preference shares.
As defined by APRA for capital adequacy purposes, ANZ CPS, ANZ Capital Notes, ANZ Capital Securities and ANZ NZ Capital Notes constitute
Additional Tier 1 ('AT1') capital and all other subordinated notes constitute Tier 2 capital.
ADDITIONAL TIER 1 CAPITAL (PERPETUAL SUBORDINATED SECURITIES)The ANZ Capital Notes, ANZ Capital Securities and ANZ NZ Capital Notes are Basel 3 compliant instruments. APRA has granted ANZ transitional
Basel 3 capital treatment for each of the ANZ CPS until their first conversion date. Each of the ANZ CPS, the ANZ Capital Notes and the ANZ
Capital Securities issued by the Company rank equally with each other.
Distributions on the AT1 capital securities are non-cumulative and subject to the issuer’s absolute discretion and certain payment conditions(including regulatory requirements). Distributions on the ANZ CPS and ANZ Capital Notes are franked in line with the franking applied to ANZ
ordinary shares.
Where specified, if a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event or a Non-viability Trigger Event occurs, the AT1 capital securities will immediately
convert into a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares based on the average market price of ANZ ordinary shares less a 1% discount, subject
to a maximum conversion number. A Common Equity Capital Trigger Event occurs if ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or lessthan 5.125%. A Non-viability Trigger Event occurs if APRA notifies the Company that, without the conversion or write-off of certain securities
or a public sector injection of capital (or equivalent support), it considers that the Company would become non-viable.
The AT1 capital securities (other than the ANZ Capital Securities) are mandatorily convertible into a variable number of ANZ ordinary sharesbased on the average market price of the shares less a 1% discount on a specified date, or on an earlier date under certain circumstances. The
mandatory conversion is deferred for a specified period if conversion tests are not met.
ANZ CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES (ANZ CPS)ANZ CPS are fully paid, mandatorily convertible preference shares and are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. A summary of the key

20: Financial Risk Management
STRATEGY IN USING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are fundamental to the Group’s business,
constituting the core element of its operations. Accordingly, the risks
associated with financial instruments are a significant componentof the risks faced by the Group. Financial instruments create, modify
or reduce the credit, market (including traded and non-traded interest
rate and foreign currency related risks) and liquidity risks of the Group’sbalance sheet. These risks, and the Group’s objectives, policies andprocesses for managing and measuring such risks are outlined below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of
ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully theterms of a loan or contract. The Group assumes credit risk in a wide
range of lending and other activities in diverse markets and in many
jurisdictions. Credit risks arise not only from traditional lending
to customers, but also from inter-bank, treasury, international
trade and capital market activities around the world.
The Group has an overall objective of sound growth for appropriate
returns. The credit risk principles of the Group have been set by the
Board and are implemented and monitored within a tiered structureof delegated authority designed to oversee multiple facets of credit
risk, including business writing strategies, credit policies and controls,
portfolio monitoring and risk concentrations.
Credit Risk Management Overview
The credit risk management framework ensures a consistent
approach is applied across the Group in measuring, monitoringand managing the credit risk appetite set by the Board.
The Board is assisted and advised by the Board Risk Committee indischarging its duty to oversee credit risk. The Board Risk Committee
sets the credit risk appetite and credit strategies, as well as approving
credit transactions beyond the discretion of executive management.
Responsibility for the oversight and control of the credit risk
framework (including the risk appetite) resides with the Credit andMarket Risk Committee (CMRC), which is an executive management
committee comprising senior risk, business and Group executives,chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO).
Central to the Group’s management of credit risk is the existenceof an independent credit risk management function that is staffedby risk specialists. Independence is achieved by having all credit
risk staff ultimately report to the CRO, including where they areembedded in business units. The primary responsibility for prudent
and profitable management of credit risk and customer relationships
rests with the business units.
The authority to make credit decisions is delegated by the Board
to the CEO who in turn delegates authority to the CRO. The CRO
in turn delegates some of his credit discretion to individuals as
part of a ‘cascade’ of authority from senior to the most junior credit
officers. Individuals must be suitably skilled and accredited in order
to be granted and retain a credit discretion. Credit discretions arereviewed on an annual basis, and may be varied based on theholder’s performance.

The Group has two main approaches to assessing credit risk arisingfrom transactions:}} the larger and more complex credit transactions are assessed ona judgemental credit basis. Rating models provide a consistent andstructured assessment, with judgement required around the useof out-of-model factors. Credit approval for judgemental lending
is typically on a dual approval basis, jointly by the business writerin the business unit and an independent credit officer; and}} programmed credit assessment typically covers retail and somesmall business lending, and refers to the automated assessmentof credit applications using a combination of scoring (application
and behavioural), policy rules and external credit reporting
information. Where an application does not meet the automatedassessment criteria it will be referred out for manual assessment,with assessors considering the decision tool recommendation.
Central and divisional credit risk teams perform key roles in portfolio
management such as the development and validation of credit risk
measurement systems, loan asset quality reporting, stress testing,and the development of credit policies and requirements. Credit
policies and requirements cover all aspects of the credit life cycle
such as transaction structuring, risk grading, initial approval, ongoing
management and problem debt management, as well as specialist
policy topics.
The Group’s credit grading system is fundamental to the
management of credit risk, seeking to measure the probabilityof default (PD), the exposure at default (EAD) and the loss in theevent of default (LGD) for all transactions.
From an operational perspective, the Group’s credit grading system
has two separate and distinct dimensions that:}} measure the PD, which is expressed by a 27-grade Customer Credit
Rating (CCR), reflecting the ability to service and repay debt. Within
the programmed credit assessment sphere, the CCR is typically
expressed as a score which maps back to the PD; and}} measure the LGD, which is expressed by a Security Indicator(SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to thepercentage of the loan covered by security which can be realisedin the event of default. The security-related SIs are supplemented
with a range of other SIs to cover situations where ANZ’s LGD
research indicates certain transaction characteristics have different
recovery outcomes. Within the programmed credit assessment
sphere, exposures are grouped into large homogenous pools– and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.
The development and regular validation of rating models isundertaken by specialist central risk teams. The outputs from thesemodels drive many day-to-day credit decisions, such as origination,
pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, economic
capital allocation and provisioning. The risk grading process includes
monitoring of model-generated results to ensure appropriate
judgement is exercised (such as overrides to take into accountany out-of-model factors).

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Collateral management
Collateral is used to mitigate credit risk, as the secondary sourceof repayment in case the counterparty cannot meet its contractual
repayment obligations.
ANZ credit principles specify to only lend when the counterparty
has the capacity and ability to repay, and the Group sets limits on
the acceptable level of credit risk. Acceptance of credit risk is firstly
based on the counterparty’s assessed capacity to meet contractual
obligations (such as the scheduled repayment of principal and interest).
In certain cases, such as where the customer risk profile is consideredvery sound or by the nature of the product (for instance, small limit
products such as credit cards), a transaction may not be supported bycollateral. For some products, the collateral provided is fundamental
to its structuring so is not strictly the secondary source of repayment.
For example, lending secured by trade receivables is typically repaidby the collection of those receivables.
The most common types of collateral typically taken by ANZ include:}} collateral received in respect of derivative trading;}} charges over cash deposits;}} security over real estate including residential, commercial,industrial or rural property; and}} other security includes charges over business assets, security over
specific plant and equipment, charges over listed shares, bonds
or securities and guarantees and pledges.
Credit policy requirements set out the acceptable types of collateral,
as well as a process by which additional instruments and/or asset
types can be considered for approval. ANZ’s credit risk modelling
approach uses historical internal loss data and other relevant external
data to assist in determining the discount that each type of collateral
would be expected to incur in a forced sale. This discounted value
is used in the determination of the SI for LGD purposes.
In the event of customer default, any loan security is usually held as
mortgagee in possession while the Group is actively seeking to realise
it. Therefore the Group does not usually hold any real estate or otherassets acquired through the enforcement of security.

108

The Group generally uses Master Agreements with its counterparties
for derivatives activities. Generally, International Swaps and Derivatives
Association (ISDA) Master Agreements will be used. Under the ISDA
Master Agreement, if a default of a counterparty occurs, all contracts
with the counterparty are terminated. They are then settled on a net
basis at market levels current at the time of default.
In addition to the terms noted above, ANZ’s preferred practice isto use a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to the ISDA Master Agreement.
Under a CSA, open derivative positions with the counterparty are
aggregated and cash collateral (or other forms of eligible collateral)is exchanged daily. The collateral is provided by the counterparty
that is out of the money. Upon termination of the trade, payment
is required only for the final daily mark-to-market movement rather
than the mark-to-market movement since inception.
Concentrations of credit risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers areengaged in similar business activities or activities within the samegeographic region, or when they have similar risk characteristics
that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations tobe similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.
The Group monitors its portfolios, to identify and assess risk
concentrations. The Group’s strategy is to maintain well-diversified
credit portfolios focused on achieving an acceptable risk-return
balance. Credit risk portfolios are actively monitored and frequently
reviewed to identify, assess and guard against unacceptablerisk concentrations. Concentration analysis will typically include
geography, industry, credit product and risk grade. The Groupalso applies single customer counterparty limits to protect against
unacceptably large exposures to single name risk. These limits are
established based on a combination of factors including the natureof the counterparty, probability of default and collateral provided.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit quality
Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances,
there may be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below.
Principally, these differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity investments which
are primarily subject to market risk, or bank notes and coins. For contingent exposures, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum
amount the Group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon. For undrawn facilities, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the fullamount of the committed facilities.
The following tables present the maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial assets before taking
account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Distribution of financial assets by credit quality
The Group has a comprehensive rating system that is used to quantify credit risk. The use of masterscales ensures consistency across exposure
types at the Group, providing a consistent framework for reporting and analysis.
All customers with whom ANZ has a credit relationship, including guarantors, are assigned a Customer Credit Rating (CCR) or score at origination
either by programmed credit assessment or by judgemental assessment. In addition, the CCR or score is reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure
it accurately reflects the credit risk of the customer and the prevailing economic conditions.
The Group’s risk grade profile therefore changes dynamically through new lending, repayment and/or existing counterparty movementsin either risk or volume.
Restructured items
Restructured items are facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficultiesof the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due or an extension in maturity
materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Credit quality of financial assets neither past due nor impaired
The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Group using internal CCRs based on their current probability of default. The Group’s
masterscales are mapped to external rating agency scales, to enable wider comparisons.
Internal rating
Strong credit profile

Customers that have demonstrated superior stability in their operating and financial performance over the long-term,
and whose debt servicing capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. This rating broadly corresponds
to ratings ‘Aaa’ to ‘Baa3’ and ‘AAA’ to ‘BBB-’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

Satisfactory risk

Customers that have consistently demonstrated sound operational and financial stability over the medium to long-term,even though some may be susceptible to cyclical trends or variability in earnings. This rating broadly corresponds
to ratings ‘Ba2’ to ‘Ba3’ and ‘BB’ to ‘BB-’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

Sub-standard but notpast due or impaired

Customers that have demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with variability and uncertainty
in profitability and liquidity projected to continue over the short and possibly medium term. This rating broadly
corresponds to ratings ‘B1’ to ‘Caa’ and ‘B+’ to ‘CCC’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Ageing analysis of financial assets that are past due but not impaired
Ageing analysis of past due loans is used by the Group to measure and manage emerging credit risks. Financial assets that are past due but
not impaired include those which are assessed, approved and managed on a portfolio basis within a centralised environment (for example
credit cards and personal loans) that can be held on a productive basis until they are 180 days past due, as well as those which are managed
on an individual basis.
A large portion of retail credit exposures, such as residential mortgages, are generally well secured. That is, the value of associated security
is sufficient to cover amounts outstanding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Market risk (excludes insurance and funds management)
Market Risk stems from ANZ's trading and balance sheet activities
and is the risk to ANZ's earnings arising from changes in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility, and correlations orfrom fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.
ANZ has a detailed market risk management and control framework,
to support its trading and balance sheet activities, which incorporates
an independent risk measurement approach to quantify themagnitude of market risk within the trading and balance sheet
portfolios. This approach, along with related analysis, identifies
the range of possible outcomes that can be expected over a given
period of time, and establishes the likelihood of those outcomes andallocates an appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.
Group-wide responsibility for the strategies and policies relating
to the management of market risk lies with the Board Risk Committee.
Responsibility for day to day management of both market risks andcompliance with market risk policy is delegated by the Risk Committee
to the Credit and Market Risk Committee (CMRC) and the Group Assetand Liability Committee (GALCO). The CMRC, chaired by the Chief Risk
Officer, is responsible for the oversight of market risk. All committees
receive regular reporting on the range of trading and balance sheet
market risks that ANZ incurs.
Within overall strategies and policies, the control of market risk
at the Group level is the joint responsibility of Business Units andRisk Management, with the delegation of market risk limits fromthe Board and CMRC allocated to both Risk Management and theBusiness Units.
The management of risk is supported by a comprehensive limit
and policy framework to control the amount of risk that the Groupwill accept. Market risk limits are allocated at various levels and arereported and monitored by Market Risk on a daily basis. The detailed
limit framework allocates individual limits to manage and control asset
classes (eg. interest rates, foreign exchange), risk factors (eg. interest
rates, volatilities) and profit and loss limits (to monitor and manage
the performance of the trading portfolios).
Market risk management and control responsibilities
To facilitate the management, measurement and reporting of market
risk, ANZ has grouped market risk into two broad categories:a) Traded market riskThis is the risk of loss from changes in the value of financial
instruments due to movements in price factors for both physical andderivative trading positions. Trading positions arise from transactions
where ANZ acts as principal with customers, financial exchanges
or interbank counterparties.

118

The principal risk categories monitored are:}} Currency risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in thevalue of a financial instrument due to changes in foreign exchange
rates or their implied volatilities.
}} Interest rate risk is the potential loss arising from the change in thevalue of a financial instrument due to changes in market interest
rates or their implied volatilities.
}} Credit spread risk is the potential loss arising from a change invalue of an instrument due to a movement of its margin or spread
relative to a benchmark.
}} Commodity risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in thevalue of a financial instrument due to changes in commodity prices
or their implied volatilities.
}} Equity risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the valueof a financial instrument due to changes in equity prices or theirimplied volatilities.
b) Non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk)This comprises the management of non-traded interest rate risk,
liquidity, and the risk to the Australian dollar denominated valueof the Group’s capital and earnings as a result of foreign exchange
rate movements.
Some instruments that do not fall into either category also expose
ANZ to market risk. These include equity securities classified
as available-for-sale financial assets.
Value at Risk (VaR) measure
A key measure of market risk is Value at Risk (VaR). VaR is a statisticalestimate of the possible daily loss and is based on historicalmarket movements.
ANZ measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval. This means that
there is a 99% chance that the loss will not exceed the VaR estimate
on any given day.
The Group’s standard VaR approach for both traded and non-tradedrisk is historical simulation. The Group calculates VaR using historicalchanges in market rates, prices and volatilities over the previous
500 business days. Traded and non-traded VaR is calculated using
a one‑day holding period.
It should be noted that because VaR is driven by actual historicalobservations, it is not an estimate of the maximum loss that theGroup could experience from an extreme market event. As a resultof this limitation, the Group utilises a number of other risk measures(such as stress testing) and risk sensitivity limits to measure andmanage market risk.

VaR is calculated separately for foreign exchange, interest rate, credit, commodity and equities and for the Group. The diversification
benefit reflects the historical correlation between these products. Electricity commodities risk is measured under the standard approachfor regulatory purposes.
To supplement the VaR methodology, ANZ applies a wide range of stress tests, both on individual portfolios and at a Group level. ANZ‘sstress‑testing regime provides senior management with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on market risk
exposures of ANZ. Standard stress tests are applied on a daily basis and measure the potential loss arising from applying extreme market
movements to individual and groups of individual market factors. Extraordinary stress tests are applied daily and measure the potential
loss arising as a result of scenarios generated from major financial market events.
Non-traded Market Risk (Balance Sheet Risk)
The principal objectives of balance sheet management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate thenegative impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of the Group’s banking book, while ensuring the Group
maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Interest rate risk
The objective of balance sheet interest rate risk management is to secure stable and optimal net interest income over both the short(next 12 months) and long-term. Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on theGroup’s future net interest income. This risk arises from two principal sources: mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets
and liabilities; and the investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities in interest bearing assets. Interest rate risk is reported using
various techniques including VaR and scenario analysis (to a 1% shock).
a) VaR non-traded interest rate risk
The repricing assumptions used to determine the VaR and 1% rate shock have been independently validated. Below are aggregate VaR figures
covering non-traded interest rate risk.

VaR is calculated separately for the Australia, New Zealand and APEA geographies, as well as for the Group.
To supplement the VaR methodology, ANZ applies a wide range of stress tests, both on individual portfolios and at Group level. ANZ’s stress testing
regime provides senior management with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on market risk exposures of ANZ.
b) Scenario Analysis – a 1% shock on the next 12 months’ net interest income
A 1% overnight parallel positive shift in the yield curve is modelled to determine the potential impact on net interest income over the
succeeding 12 months. This is a standard risk measure which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.
The figures in the table below indicate the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years – expressed as a percentageof reported net interest income. The sign indicates the nature of the rate sensitivity with a positive number signifying that a rate increaseis positive for net interest income over the next 12 months.

The extent of mismatching between the repricing characteristics and timing of interest bearing assets and liabilities at any point has implications
for future net interest income. On a global basis, the Group quantifies the potential variation in future net interest income as a result of these
repricing mismatches.
The repricing gaps themselves are constructed based on contractual repricing information. However, for those assets and liabilities where thecontractual term to repricing is not considered to be reflective of the actual interest rate sensitivity (for example, products priced at the Group’s
discretion), a profile based on historically observed and/or anticipated rate sensitivity is used. This treatment excludes the effect of basis risk
between customer pricing and wholesale market pricing.

120

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Equity securities classified as available-for-sale
The portfolio of financial assets, classified as available-for-sale formeasurement and financial reporting purposes, also contains equity
investment holdings which predominantly comprise investments
held for longer term strategic reasons. These equity investments
are also subject to market risk which is not captured by the VaR
measures for traded and non-traded market risks. Regular reviews
are performed to substantiate valuation of the investments within
the portfolio and the equity investments are regularly reviewed
by management for impairment. The fair value of the equity
securities can fluctuate.
The balance of available-for-sale equity securities for the Groupamounts to $855 million (2015: $51 million) and $832 million (2015:$30 million) for the Company. Included in this is the $795 million
investment in the Bank of Tianjin (BoT) that ceased equity accounting
during the period.
Foreign currency risk – structural exposures
The investment of capital in foreign operations, such as branches,
subsidiaries or associates with functional currencies other than theAustralian Dollar, exposes the Group to the risk of changes in foreignexchange rates.
The main operating (or functional) currencies of Group entities
are the Australian Dollar, the New Zealand Dollar and the US Dollar,
with a number of overseas undertakings operating in various othercurrencies. The Group presents its consolidated financial statements
in Australian Dollars, as the Australian Dollar is the dominantcurrency. The Group’s consolidated balance sheet is therefore affectedby exchange differences between the Australian Dollar and functional
currencies of foreign operations. Variations in the value of theseoverseas operations arising as a result of exchange differences
are reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
The Group routinely monitors this risk and conducts hedging, where
it is expected to add shareholder value, in accordance with approved
policies. The Group’s exposures to structural foreign currency risks
are managed with the primary objective of ensuring, where practical,
that the consolidated capital ratios are neutral to the effect ofchanges in exchange rates.

Liquidity Risk (Excludes Insurance and Funds Management)
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment
obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or
maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity
to fund increases in assets. The timing mismatch of cash flows andthe related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations andis closely monitored by the Group.
The Group’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a set ofprinciples which are approved by the ANZ Board Risk Committee.
Following the global financial crisis, the framework was reviewed
and updated. The following key components underpin theoverall framework:}} Maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in theimmediate term;}} Ensuring that the Group has the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’
under a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stressscenarios, at the site and Group-wide level, to meet cash flow
obligations over the short to medium term;}} Maintaining strength in the Group’s balance sheet structure toensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;}} Ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible
with local regulatory requirements;}} Preparation of daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis,
quantifying the Group’s positions;}} Targeting a diversified funding base, avoiding undue
concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source
and currency;}} Holding a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to protect
against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day
operations; and}} Establishing detailed contingency plans to cover different liquidity
crisis events.
Management of liquidity and funding risks are overseen by theGroup Asset and Liability Committee (GALCO).

Selective hedges were in place during the 2016 and 2015 financial
years. For details on the hedging instruments used and effectivenessof hedges of net investments in foreign operations, refer to note 13
to these financial statements. The Group’s economic hedges against
New Zealand Dollar and US Dollar revenue streams are included
within ‘Trading derivatives’ at note 13.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

121

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
The Group’s approach to liquidity risk management incorporates
two key components:
Scenario Modelling of Funding Sources
ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite is defined by the ability to meet a rangeof regulatory and internal liquidity metrics mandated by the Board.
The metrics cover a range of scenarios of varying duration and levelof severity. This framework:}} Provides protection against shorter-term but more extreme market
dislocations and stresses.
}} Maintains structural strength in the balance sheet by ensuring
an appropriate amount of longer-term assets are funded withlonger-term funding.
}} Ensures no undue timing concentrations exist in the Group’s
funding profile.
A key component of this framework is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio(LCR) which was implemented in Australia on 1 January 2015. The
LCR is a severe short term liquidity stress scenario, introduced as partof the Basel 3 international framework for liquidity risk measurement,
standards and monitoring. As part of meeting the LCR requirements,
ANZ has a Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) with the Reserve Bank
of Australia (RBA). The CLF has been established as a solution to a High
Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) shortfall in the Australian marketplace
and provides an alternative form of RBA-qualifying liquid assets.
The total amount of the CLF available to a qualifying ADI is set
annually by APRA.

Liquid Assets
The Group holds a portfolio of high quality unencumbered liquid
assets in order to protect the Group’s liquidity position in a severely
stressed environment, as well as to meet regulatory requirements.
High quality liquid assets comprise three categories, with thedefinitions consistent with Basel 3 LCR:}} Highest-quality liquid assets (HQLA1): Cash, highest credit quality
government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for
repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
}} High-quality liquid assets (HQLA2): High credit quality government,
central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate debt
securities and high quality covered bonds eligible for repurchasewith central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
}} Alternative liquid assets (ALA): Assets qualifying as collateral
for the CLF and eligible securities listed by the Reserve Bankof New Zealand (RBNZ).
The Group monitors and manages the composition of liquid assets
to ensure diversification by asset class, counterparty, currency andtenor. Minimum levels of liquid assets held are set annually based ona range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios
such that potential cash flow obligations can be met over the short
to medium term, and holdings are appropriate to existing and futurebusiness activities, regulatory requirements and in line with theapproved risk appetite.

20: Financial Risk Management (continued)
Liquidity Crisis Contingency Planning
The Group maintains APRA-endorsed liquidity crisis contingency
plans defining an approach for analysing and responding toa liquidity threatening event at a country and Group-wide level.
To align with the enhanced liquidity scenario analysis framework,crisis management strategies are assessed against the Group’s
crisis stress scenarios.

Group Funding
ANZ manages its funding profile using a range of funding metrics
and balance sheet disciplines. This approach is designed to ensurethat an appropriate proportion of the Group’s assets are fundedby stable funding sources including core customer deposits,
longer‑dated wholesale funding (with a remaining term exceeding
one year) and equity.

The framework is compliant with APRA’s key liquidity contingency
crisis planning requirements and guidelines and includes:}} The establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;}} Clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;}} Early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, andmechanisms to monitor and report these signals;}} Crisis Declaration Assessment processes, and related escalation
triggers set against early warning signals;}} Outlined action plans, and courses of action for altering asset
and liability behaviour;}} Procedures for crisis management reporting, and making up
cash-flow shortfalls;}} Guidelines determining the priority of customer relationships
in the event of liquidity problems; and}} Assigned responsibilities for internal and external communications.

The Group’s global wholesale funding strategy is designed todeliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances
cost efficiency against prudent diversification and duration.

Regulatory Change
The Basel 3 Liquidity requirements changes include the introductionof two liquidity ratios to measure liquidity risk; (i) the Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR) which went live on 1st January 2015 and (ii)the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).
The Basel 3 NSFR standard was released in October 2014. APRA
released their NSFR consultation papers and draft standards in Marchand September 2016 which confirmed that the NSFR will becomea minimum requirement on 1 January 2018. In the draft standards,
APRA also proposed that they may require an ADI to maintain a higher
minimum than the stated 100% where APRA considers it appropriate
to do so. As part of managing future liquidity requirements, ANZ
monitors the NSFR ratio in its internal reporting and is well placed
to meet this requirement.

Funding plans and performance relative to those plans are reported
regularly to senior management via the Group Asset and Liability
Committee (GALCO). These plans address customer balance sheet
growth and changes in wholesale funding including, targetedfunding volumes, markets, investors, tenors and currencies forsenior, secured, subordinated and hybrid transactions. Plans aresupplemented with a monthly forecasting process which reviews
the funding position to-date in light of market conditions andbalance sheet requirements.
Funding plans are generated through the three-year strategic planning
process and further refined by the annual funding plan and approvedby the Board. Asset and deposit plans are submitted at the businesssegment level with the wholesale funding requirements then derived
at the geographic level. To the extent that asset growth exceeds
funding generated from customer deposits, additional wholesale
funds are sourced.
Short-term wholesale funding requirements, with a contractual
maturity of less than one year, are managed through Group
Treasury and local Markets operations. Long-term wholesale fundingis managed and executed through Group Treasury operations
in Australia and New Zealand.
Funding Position 2016
ANZ targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations
by investor type, maturity, market source and currency.
$32.1 billion of term wholesale debt (excluding Additional Tier 1
Capital) with a remaining term greater than one year as at
30 September 2016 was issued during the financial year ending
30 September 2016 (2015: $18.8 billion). The weighted averagetenor of new term debt was 5.5 years (2015: 4.9 years). In addition,$2.9 billion of Additional Tier 1 Capital Issuance took place during
the year.

Credit related contingencies
Undrawn facilities and issued guarantees comprise the nominal principal amounts of commitments, contingencies and other undrawn facilities

The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to customers maintaining specific credit and other requirements or conditions. Many of thesefacilities are expected to be partially used, whereas others may never be required to be drawn upon. As such, the total of the nominal principal
amounts is not necessarily representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements.

Life insurance risk
Although not a significant contributor to the Group’s balance sheet, theGroup’s insurance businesses give rise to unique risks which are managed
separately from the Group’s banking businesses. The nature of these risks
and the manner in which they are managed is set out in note 37.
Operational risk management
Within ANZ, operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting
from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems
or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, and therisk of reputational loss or damage arising from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and systems, but excludes strategic risk.
The objective of operational risk management is to ensure that risks
are identified, assessed, measured, evaluated, treated, monitored andreported in a structured environment with appropriate governanceand oversight. ANZ does not expect to eliminate all risks. Rather
it seeks to ensure that its residual risk exposure is managed as low
as reasonably practical based on a sound risk/reward analysis in
the context of an international financial institution.
The ANZ Board has delegated its powers to the Risk Committee
to approve the ANZ Operational Risk Framework which is inaccordance with Australian Prudential Standard APS 115 Capital
Adequacy: Advanced Measurement Approaches to Operational Risk.
The Operational Risk Executive Committee (OREC) is the primarysenior executive management committee responsible for oversightof ANZ’s Risk Profile. The purpose of OREC is to assist the Board
Risk Committee in the effective discharge of its responsibilities
for operational risk management and the management of thecompliance obligations of ANZBGL and its controlled entities.

The Company

Enterprise Operational Risk is responsible for exercising governanceover operational risk through the management of the operationalrisk framework, policy development, framework assurance,
operational risk measurement and capital allocations and reportingof operational risk issues to executive committees.
The integration of the Operational Risk Measurement andManagement and Compliance Frameworks, supported by common
policies, procedures and tools allows for a simple and consistent
way to identify, assess, measure and monitor risks across ANZ.
In line with industry practice, ANZ obtains insurance cover fromthird party and captive providers to cover those operational risks
where cost-effective premiums can be obtained. In conducting
their business, Business Units are advised to act as if uninsured
and not to use insurance as a guaranteed mitigation for operationalrisk. Business disruption is a critical risk to a bank’s ability to operate,
so ANZ has comprehensive business continuity, recovery andcrisis management plans. The intention of the business continuity
and recovery plans is to ensure critical business functions can be
maintained, or restored in a timely fashion, in the event of material
disruptions arising from internal or external events.
Enterprise Operational Risk is responsible for maintaining
ANZ’s Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operationalrisk. Operational risk capital is held to protect depositors andshareholders of the bank from rare and severe unexpected losses.
ANZ maintains and calculates operational risk capital (including
regulatory and economic capital), on at least a six monthly basis.
The capital is calculated using external loss data, internal loss dataand scenarios as a direct input and risk registers as an indirect input.

Divisional Risk Committees and Business Unit Risk Forums
manage and maintain oversight of operational and compliancerisks supported by thresholds for escalation and monitoring
which is used to inform and support senior management strategic
business decision making. Day to day management of operationaland compliance risk is the accountability of every employee.
Business Units undertake operational risk activities as partof this accountability. Divisional risk personnel provide oversightof operational risk undertaken in the Business Units.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

21: Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
A significant number of financial instruments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The following disclosures set out the classificationof financial assets and financial liabilities and in respect of the fair value either recognised or disclosed, the various levels within which fairvalue measurements are categorised, and the valuation methodologies and techniques used. The fair value disclosure does not cover those
instruments that are not considered financial instruments from an accounting perspective, such as intangible assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participantsat the measurement date. The determination of the fair value of financial instruments is fundamental to the financial reporting framework
as all financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and, with the exception of those financial instruments carried at amortisedcost, are remeasured at fair value in subsequent periods.
On initial recognition, the best evidence of a financial instrument’s fair value is the transaction price. However, in certain circumstances theinitial fair value may be based on other observable current market transactions in the same instrument, without modification or repackaging,or on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. For those financial instruments where the fair value
at initial recognition would be based on unobservable inputs, the difference between the transaction price and the amount which would
have been determined using a valuation technique (being the day one gain or loss) is not immediately recognised in the income statement.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value is based on quoted market prices, whereavailable. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using market accepted valuation techniques that
employ observable data. In limited cases where observable market data is not available, the input is estimated based on other observable
market data, historical trends and other factors that may be relevant.
In the tables below, financial instruments have been allocated based on their accounting classification. The significant accounting policies
in note 1 describe how the categories of financial assets and financial liabilities are measured and how income and expenses, including fairvalue gains and losses, are recognised.
(i) CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIESThe following tables set out the classification of financial asset and liability categories according to measurement bases together with theircarrying amounts as reported on the balance sheet.

1 Derivative financial instruments classified as ‘held for trading’ include derivatives entered into as economic hedges which are not designated as accounting hedges.
2 Fair value hedging is applied to financial assets within net loans and advances. The resulting fair value adjustments mean that the carrying value differs from the amortised cost.
3 Net loans and advances includes Esanda Dealer Finance assets classified as held for sale as at 30 September 2015 which were sold in 2016. Refer to note 15 for further details.

(ii) MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUE(a) Valuation methodologies
ANZ has an established control framework that ensures fair value is either determined or validated by a function independent of the party
that undertakes the transaction. The control framework ensures that all models are calibrated periodically to test that outputs reflect prices
from observable current market transactions in the same instrument or other available observable market data.
Where quoted market prices are used, prices are independently verified from other sources. For fair values determined using a valuation model,
the control framework may include, as applicable, independent development or validation of valuation models, any inputs to those models,
any adjustments required outside of the valuation model and, where possible, independent validation of model outputs. In this way, continued
appropriateness of the valuations is ensured.
In instances where the Group holds offsetting risk positions, the Group uses the portfolio exemption in AASB 13 to measure the fair valueof such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position (thatis, an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (that is, a liability) for a particular risk exposure.
The Group categorises its fair value measurements on the basis of inputs used in measuring fair value using the fair value hierarchy below:}} Level 1 – Financial instruments that have been valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial
instruments. This category includes financial instruments valued using quoted yields where available for specific debt securities.
}} Level 2 – Financial instruments that have been valued through valuation techniques incorporating inputs other than quoted prices within
Level 1 that are observable for a similar financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
}} Level 3 – Financial instruments that have been valued using valuation techniques which incorporate significant inputs that are not basedon observable market data (unobservable inputs).

130

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

21: Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)(b) Valuation techniques and inputs used
In the event that there is no quoted market price for the instrument, fair value is based on valuation techniques. Where applicable, the valuation
models incorporate the impact of bid/ask spreads, counterparty credit spreads, funding costs and other factors that would influence the fairvalue determined by market participants.
The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable market data. However, for certain financial instruments the valuation technique
may employ some data (valuation inputs or components) which is not readily observable in the current market. In these cases valuation inputs(or components of the overall value) are derived and extrapolated from other relevant market data and tested against historic transactions andobserved market trends. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market, the determinationof fair value can be more subjective, dependent on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation.
The following valuation techniques have been applied to determine the fair values of financial instruments where there is no quoted pricefor the instrument:}} For instruments classified as Trading security assets and Securities short sold, Derivative financial assets and liabilities, Available-for-salefinancial assets, and Investments backing policy liabilities, fair value measurements are derived by using modelled valuations techniques(including discounted cash flow models) that incorporate market prices/yields for securities with similar credit risk, maturity and yieldcharacteristics; and/or current market yields for similar instruments.
}} For Net loans and advances, Deposits and other borrowings and Debt issuances, discounted cash flow techniques are used where contractual
future cash flows of the instrument are discounted using discount rates incorporating wholesale market rates or market borrowing rates
of debt with similar maturities or a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.
}} The fair value of external unit holder liabilities (life insurance funds) represents the external unit holder’s share of the net assets of theconsolidated investment funds, which are carried at fair value. The fair value of policy liabilities being liabilities of the insurance businessis directly linked to the performance and value of the assets backing the liabilities. These liabilities are measured at fair value using
observable inputs.
Further details of valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in measuring fair values are described in (iv)(a) below.
Apart from derivative credit valuation adjustments, there have been no substantial changes in the valuation techniques applied to different
classes of financial instruments during the year. With respect to derivative CVA, the methodology was revised in 2016 to reflect leading market
practice in exposure modelling and greater use of current market data (refer note 1 E (ii)).
(iii) FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES THAT ARE MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE IN THE BALANCE SHEETThe table below provides an analysis of financial instruments carried at fair value at reporting date categorised according to the lowest level
input into a valuation model or a valuation component that is significant to the reported fair value. The significance of the input is assessedagainst the reported fair value of the financial instrument and considers various factors specific to the financial instrument. The fair value has
been allocated in full to the category in the fair value hierarchy which most appropriately reflects the determination of the fair value.

The Company

The Level 3 balances include Structured credit products that the Group entered into from 2004 to 2007 whereby it sold protection using credit
default swaps over certain structures, and mitigated risk by purchasing protection via credit default swaps from US financial guarantors over thesame structures. These trades are valued using complex models with certain inputs relating to the reference assets and derivative counterparties
not being observable in the market. Such unobservable inputs include credit spreads and default probabilities.
The remaining Level 3 balances include Asset backed securities and Illiquid corporate bonds where the effect on fair value of issuer credit
cannot be directly or indirectly observed in the market; Alternative assets that largely comprise investments in funds which are illiquid and are
not currently redeemable, as well as various investments in unlisted equity securities for which no active market exists; and Other derivatives
which predominantly include reverse mortgage swaps where the mortality rate cannot be observed and options over emissions certificateswhere the volatility input cannot be observed.

The Company

1 Transfers into Level 3 for the Group in 2016 relate principally to illiquid corporate bonds and asset backed securities where market activity has reduced resulting in pricing to no longer
be observable. Transfers out of Level 3 for the Group relate principally to derivative products where the trade characteristics are such that inputs significant to the valuation are now
observable. Transfers into and out of Level 3 are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.
2 Relating to assets and liabilities held at the end of the period.

(c) Sensitivity to Level 3 data inputs
Where valuation techniques are employed and assumptions are required due to significant data inputs not being directly observed in themarket place (Level 3 inputs), changing these assumptions changes the resultant estimate of fair value. The majority of transactions in thiscategory are ‘back-to-back’ in nature where ANZ either acts as a financial intermediary or hedges the market risks. Similarly, the valuationof Investments backing policy liabilities directly impacts the associated life investment contracts they relate to. In these circumstances,changes in the assumptions generally have minimal impact on the income statement and net assets of ANZ. An exception to this is the'back-to-back' structured credit intermediation trades which create significant exposure to credit risk.
Principal inputs used in the determination of fair value of financial instruments included in the structured credit portfolio include counterparty
credit spreads, market-quoted CDS prices, recovery rates, default probabilities, correlation curves and other inputs, some of which may not
be directly observable in the market. The potential effect of changing prevailing unobservable inputs does not result in a significant impact
on net profit.

21: Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)(d) Deferred fair value gains and losses
Where the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is determined using unobservable data that is significant to the valuationof the instrument, the difference between the transaction price and the amount determined based on the valuation technique (day one gainor loss) is not immediately recognised in the income statement. Subsequently, the day one gain or loss is recognised in the income statement
over the life of the transaction on a straight line basis or over the period until all inputs become observable.
The table below summarises the aggregate amount of day one gains not yet recognised in the income statement and amounts which havebeen subsequently recognised.

(v) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS(a) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
The category Loans and advances includes certain loans designated at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate an accounting
mismatch which would arise if the asset were otherwise carried at amortised cost. This mismatch arises as the derivative financial instruments
which were acquired to mitigate interest rate risk of the loans and advances, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. By designating
the economically hedged loans, the movements in the fair value attributable to changes in interest rate risk will be recognised in the income
statement in the same periods.
At balance date, the credit exposure of the Group on these assets was $397 million (2015: $683 million) and for the Company was $37 million(2015: $144 million). In relation to these exposures, for the Group $237 million (2015: $509 million) and the Company $37 million (2015: $144
million) was mitigated by collateral held.
For the Group, the cumulative change in fair value attributable to change in credit risk was a reduction to the assets of $1 million (2015: reduction
to the assets of $1 million). For the Company the cumulative change to the assets was nil (2015: nil). The amount recognised in the income
statement attributable to changes in credit risk for the Group was $1 million (2015: $1 million) and for the Company nil (2015: nil).
The change in fair value of the designated financial assets attributable to changes in credit risk has been calculated by determining the change
in credit rating and credit spread implicit in the loans and advances issued by entities with similar credit characteristics.
(b) Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss
Parts of Debt issuances and Deposits and other borrowings have been designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss inorder to eliminate an accounting mismatch which would arise if the liabilities were otherwise carried at amortised cost. This mismatch arises
since the derivatives acquired to mitigate interest rate risk of the financial liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss. In addition
Policy liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 1038. External unitholder liabilities which are notincluded in the table below, represent the external unitholder share of the ‘Investments backing policy liabilities’ which are designated at fairvalue through profit or loss.
The table below compares the carrying amount of financial liabilities carried at full fair value, to the contractual amount payable at maturity
and fair value gains and losses recognised during the period on liabilities carried at full fair value that are attributable to changes in ANZ’s own
credit rating.

For Debt issuances and Deposits and other borrowings, the change in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk has been determined as theamount of change in fair value that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risks (benchmark interest rates andforeign exchange rates). This approach is deemed appropriate as the changes in fair value arising from factors other than changes in own credit
risk or changes in benchmark interest rates and foreign exchange rates are considered to be insignificant.
(vi) FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The table below reflects the carrying amounts of financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Group’s balance sheet and where thecarrying amount is not considered a close approximation of fair value. The table also provides a comparison of the carrying amount of thesefinancial instruments to the Group’s estimate of their fair value. The categorisation of the fair value into the levels within the fair value hierarchy
is determined in accordance with the methodology set out on page 130 (note 21(ii)).

The following sets out the Group’s basis of establishing fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on the balance sheet.
The valuation techniques employed are consistent with those used to calculate fair values of financial instruments carried at fair value.
Certain Net loans and advances, Deposits and other borrowings and Debt issuances have been designated at fair value and are therefore
excluded from the tables above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

135

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

21: Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
Net loans and advances
The fair value has been determined through discounting future cash flows as follows:}} For Net loans and advances to banks, the fair value is derived by discounting cash flows using prevailing market rates for lending with similar
credit quality.
}} For Net loans and advances to customers, the fair value is the present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve which incorporates
changes in wholesale market rates, the Group’s cost of wholesale funding and the customer margin, as appropriate.
Deposits and other borrowings
The fair value of a deposit liability without a specified maturity or at call is deemed to be the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
The fair value is not adjusted for any value expected to be derived from retaining the deposit for a future period of time. For interest bearing
fixed maturity deposits and other borrowings and acceptances with quoted market prices, market borrowing rates of interest for debt witha similar maturity are used to discount contractual cash flows to derive the fair value.
Debt issuances and Subordinated debt
The aggregate fair value of Debt issuances and Subordinated debt is calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs whereapplicable. For those debt issuances where quoted market prices were not available, a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve
appropriate for the remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument used. The fair value includes the effects of the appropriate credit
spreads applicable to ANZ for that instrument.

Guarantees and contingent liabilities
These guarantees and contingent liabilities relate to transactions that the Group has entered into as principal, including guarantees, standby
letters of credit and documentary letters of credit.
Documentary letters of credit involve the issue of letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter secured against an underlying
shipment of goods or backed by a confirmatory letter of credit from another bank.
Performance related contingencies are liabilities that oblige the Group to make payments to a third party should the customer fail to fulfil the
non-monetary terms of the contract.
To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, they are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateralrequirements as customers that apply for loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that could be lost if thecounterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do notnecessarily reflect future cash requirements.

GOODWILL ALLOCATED TO CASH–GENERATING UNITS
The goodwill balance above largely comprises the goodwill purchased on acquisition of NBNZ Holdings Limited in December 2003
and ANZ Wealth Australia Limited (formerly OnePath Australia Limited) on 30 November 2009. Refer to note 9 for Divisional allocation.
The recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated is estimated using a market multiple approachas representative of the fair value less costs of disposal of each CGU. The price earnings multiples are based on observable multiples
reflecting the businesses and markets in which each CGU operates. The earnings are based on the current forecast earnings of the divisions.
The aggregate fair value less costs of disposal across the Group is compared to the Group’s market capitalisation to validate the conclusionthat goodwill is not impaired.

Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of fair value less costs of disposal include assumptions as to the costsof disposal estimates, the ability to achieve forecast earnings, and market multiples adopted being reflective of the segment’s business. For eachof ANZ’s divisions with goodwill, the range of multiples observed were as follows:

Costs relating to on-going activities are not provided for. Provision is made when the Group is demonstrably committed, it is probable that thecosts will be incurred, though their timing is uncertain, and the costs can be reliably estimated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

145

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

32: Capital Management
ANZ pursues an active approach to capital management, which
is designed to protect the interests of depositors, creditors andshareholders. This involves the on-going review and Board approvalof the level and composition of ANZ’s capital base, assessed against
the following key policy objectives:}} regulatory compliance such that capital levels exceed APRA’s, ANZ’s
primary prudential supervisor, minimum Prudential Capital Ratios(PCRs) both at Level 1 (the Company and specified subsidiaries) andLevel 2 (ANZ consolidated under Australian prudential standards),
along with US Federal Reserve’s minimum Level 2 requirements
under ANZ’s Foreign Holding Company Licence in the United Statesof America;}} capital levels are aligned with the risks in the business and to meetstrategic and business development plans through ensuring thatavailable capital exceeds the level of Economic Capital. Economic
Capital is an internal estimate of capital levels required to support
risk and unexpected losses above a desired target solvency
level; and}} an appropriate balance between maximising shareholder returns
and prudent capital management principles.
ANZ achieves these objectives through an Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP) whereby ANZ conducts detailed strategic
and capital planning over a medium term time horizon.
Annually, ANZ conducts a detailed strategic planning process overa three year time horizon, the outcomes of which are embodied in
the Strategic Plan. This process involves forecasting key economic
variables which ANZ divisions use to determine key financial data
for their existing business. New strategic initiatives to be undertakenover the planning period and their financial impact are thendetermined. These processes are used for the following:}} review capital ratios, targets, and levels of different classes of capitalagainst ANZ’s risk profile and risk appetite outlined in the Strategic
Plan. ANZ’s capital targets reflect the key policy objectives above,and the desire to ensure that under specific stressed economic
scenarios capital levels are sufficient to remain above both
Economic Capital and PCR requirements;}} stress tests are performed under different economic scenarios
to ensure a comprehensive review of ANZ’s capital position both
before and after mitigating actions. The stress tests determine
the level of additional capital (the ‘stress capital buffer’) needed
to absorb losses that may be experienced during an economic
downturn; and}} stress testing is integral to strengthening the predictive approach
to risk management and is a key component in managing risks,
asset writing strategies and business strategies. It creates greater
understanding of the impacts on financial performance throughmodelling relationships and sensitivities between geographic,
industry and divisional exposures under a range of macroeconomic
scenarios. ANZ has a dedicated stress testing team within Risk
Management that models and reports to management and theBoard’s Risk Committee on a range of scenarios and stress tests.
Results are subsequently used to:}} recalibrate ANZ’s management targets for minimum and operating
ranges for its respective classes of capital such that ANZ will havesufficient capital to remain above both economic and regulatory
capital requirements; and}} identify the level of organic capital generation and hence
determine current and future capital issuance requirementsfor Level 1 and Level 2.

146

From these processes, a capital plan is developed and approvedby the Board which identifies the capital issuance requirements,
capital securities maturity profile, and options around capital
products, timing and markets to execute the capital plan under
differing market and economic conditions.
The capital plan is maintained and updated through a monthly
review of forecast financial performance, economic conditions anddevelopment of business initiatives and strategies. The Board andsenior management are provided with monthly updates of ANZ’scapital position. Any actions required to ensure ongoing prudent
capital management are submitted to the Board for approval.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
ANZ’s regulatory capital calculation is governed by APRA’s Prudential
Standards which adopt a risk-based capital assessment framework
based on the Basel 3 capital measurement standards. This risk based
approach requires eligible capital to be divided by total risk weighted
assets (RWAs), with the resultant ratio being used as a measure of an
ADI’s capital adequacy. APRA determines PCRs for Common Equity
Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total Capital, with capital as the numerator
and RWAs as the denominator.
To ensure that ADIs are adequately capitalised on both a stand-alone
and group basis, APRA adopts a tiered approach to the measurementof an ADI’s capital adequacy by assessing the ADIs financial strength
at three levels:}} Level 1 – the ADI on a stand-alone basis (that is, the Company
and approved subsidiaries which are consolidated to form the
ADI’s Extended Licensed Entity);}} Level 2 – the consolidated banking group (that is the consolidated
financial group less certain subsidiaries and associates excluded
under prudential standards); and}} Level 3 – the conglomerate group at the widest level.
ANZ is a Level 1 and Level 2 reporter, and measures capital adequacy
monthly on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis, and is not yet required toreport on a Level 3 basis.
Regulatory capital is divided into Tier 1, carrying the highest capitalelements, and Tier 2, which has lower capital elements, but still adds
to the overall strength of the ADI.
Tier 1 capital is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 capital lessdeductions and Additional Tier 1 capital instruments. Common Equity
Tier 1 capital comprises shareholders’ equity adjusted for items which
APRA does not allow as regulatory capital or classifies as lower formsof regulatory capital. Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes thefollowing significant adjustments:}} Reserves, excluding the hedging reserve and reserves of insurance
and funds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes;}} Retained earnings excludes retained earnings of insurance andfunds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes,
but includes capitalised deferred fees forming part of loan yields
that meet the criteria set out in the prudential standard;}} Inclusion of qualifying treasury shares; and}} Current year net of tax earnings less profits of insurance andfunds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

32: Capital Management (continued)
Additional Tier 1 capital instruments are high quality components
of capital that provide a permanent and unrestricted commitmentof funds, are available to absorb losses, are subordinated to the claimsof depositors and senior creditors in the event of the winding upof the issuer and provide for fully discretionary capital distributions.
Deductions from the capital base comprise mainly deductions to
the Common Equity Tier 1 component. These deductions are largely
intangible assets, investments in insurance and funds management
entities and associates, capitalised expenses (including loan andorigination fees) and the amount of regulatory expected losses(EL) in excess of eligible provisions.
Tier 2 capital mainly comprises perpetual subordinated debt
instruments and dated subordinated debt instruments whichhave a minimum term of five years at issue date.
Total Capital is the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.
In addition to the prudential capital oversight that APRA conducts
over the Company and the Group, the Company’s branch operations
and major banking subsidiary operations are overseen by local
regulators such as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the US Federal
Reserve, the UK Prudential Regulation Authority, the Monetary
Authority of Singapore, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the
China Banking Regulatory Commission who may impose minimum
capitalisation rates on those operations.

}} Effective 1 July 2016, APRA requires increased capital holdings
for Australian residential mortgage exposures by ADIs accredited
to use the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to credit risk
which increases the average credit risk weight to be applied
to Australian mortgage portfolios to at least 25%. For ANZ, theimpact of this requirement as at 30 September 2016 was -60 bps
to the CET1 ratio. Additionally, APRA also requires refinements to
ANZ’s residential mortgages risk models which will take effect in
the financial year 2017. The exact impact of the model refinements
has not been confirmed, pending review and approval from APRA.
However, any change is expected to increase the average credit
risk weight applied to ANZ’s residential mortgages exposures tobe within the 25% to 30% range. Ahead of the increased capitalrequirements for Australian residential mortgages ANZ raised$3.2 billion of ordinary share capital during 2015.
}} Reporting of the Leverage Ratio commenced from 1 July 2015
however APRA have not yet announced details of the minimum
requirement which will apply to impacted Australian ADIs.
The Australian Government agreed with the FSI recommendations
and endorsed APRA to implement the recommendations. However,apart from the above, APRA has not made any announcementson the other key recommendations to date. Therefore, the final
outcomes from the FSI, including any impacts and the timingof these impacts on ANZ remain uncertain.

Throughout the financial year, the Company and the Group
maintained compliance with the minimum Common Equity Tier 1, Tier
1 and Total Capital ratios set by APRA and the US Federal Reserve (asapplicable) as well as applicable capitalisation rates set by regulators
in countries where the Company operates branches and subsidiaries.

Level 3 Conglomerates (Level 3)
APRA is extending its prudential supervision framework to
Conglomerate Groups via the Level 3 framework which will regulatea bancassurance group such as ANZ as a single economic entity withminimum capital requirements and additional monitoring of risk
exposure levels.

OTHER REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

In August 2016, APRA confirmed the deferral of capital requirements
for Conglomerate Groups until 2019 at the earliest, to allow for the
final requirements arising from FSI recommendations and international
initiatives that are already in progress to be determined.

Financial System Inquiry (FSI)The FSI final report into Australia’s financial system was releasedin December 2014. Key recommendations included:}} Setting capital standards such that Australian Authorised Deposittaking Institutions’ (ADI) capital ratios are unquestionably strong;}} Raising the average internal ratings-based (IRB) mortgage risk weightto narrow the difference between average mortgage risk-weight for
ADIs using IRB models and those using standardised risk weights;}} Implementing a framework for minimum loss absorbing andrecapitalisation capacity in line with emerging international practice;}} Developing a common reporting template that improves thetransparency and comparability of capital ratios of Australian ADIs; and}} Introducing a leverage ratio that acts as a backstop to ADI’s
risk-based capital requirements, in line with the Basel framework.
APRA responded to parts of the FSI inquiry with the following
announcements made in connection to the key recommendations:}} In July 2015, APRA released an information paper entitled'International capital comparison study' (APRA Study) which
supports the FSI’s recommendation that the capital ratios ofAustralian ADIs should be unquestionably strong. In an updateto the APRA study published in July 2016, APRA acknowledgedthat the relative capital positions of major Australian ADIs have
improved since and are now broadly in line with the benchmark
suggested by the FSI. The results of the APRA Study will only
inform but will not determine APRA’s approach for setting
capital adequacy requirements.

The non-capital components of the Level 3 framework coveringgroup governance, risk exposures, intragroup transactions andother risk management and compliance requirements will become
effective on 1 July 2017. ANZ is not expecting any material impact
on its operations based upon the current version of these standards.
Current Proposals from the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (BCBS) on RWA
As part of the BCBS agenda to simplify RWA measurement andreduce their variability between banks, the BCBS has issued
a number of consultation documents in relation to:}} Standardised approach to RWA for credit risk;}} Revisions to Standardised Measurement Approach
to Operational Risk;}} Fundamental Review of the Trading Book;}} Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book;}} Framework on imposition of capital floors based on standardised
RWA approaches; and}} Additional constraints on the use of internal models for credit RWA.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT – INSURANCE AND FUNDS MANAGEMENT BUSINESS
Under APRA’s Prudential Standards, life insurance and funds management activities are de-consolidated for the purposes of calculating capital
adequacy and excluded from the risk based capital adequacy framework for the ANZ Level 2 Group.
ANZ’s insurance companies in Australia are regulated by APRA on a stand-alone basis. Prudential Standards issued under the Life Insurance
Act 1995 and Insurance Act 1973 determine the minimum capital requirements these companies are required to meet. Life insurance companies
in New Zealand are required to meet minimum capital requirements as determined by the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010.
Fund managers in Australia are subject to ‘Responsible Entity’ regulation by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). The
regulatory capital requirements vary depending on the type of Australian Financial Services Licence or Authorised Representatives’ Licence held.
APRA supervises approved trustees of superannuation funds and it introduced new financial requirements which became effective from
1 July 2013.
ANZ’s insurance and funds management companies held assets in excess of regulatory capital requirements at 30 September 2016.

During the year the impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group's associate investments (AMMB Holdings
Berhad (Ambank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin)) had indicators of impairment; specifically their market value (based on share price) was
below their carrying value. The Group performed value in use (VIU) calculations to assess if the carrying value of the investments were impaired.
150

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

34: Investments in Associates (continued)
The VIU calculation continued to support the carrying value of theinvestment in PT Panin, however the VIU did not support the carrying
value of the Group's investment in Ambank. As a consequence theGroup recorded an impairment charge of $260 million in 2016 to
reduce the carrying value to its VIU. The associate investment in
Ambank forms part of the TSO and Group Centre operating segment.
Refer to note 9 for further details.
The value in use calculation is sensitive to a number of key
assumptions, including future profitability levels, capital levels,
long term growth rates and discount rates. The key assumptions
used in the value in use calculation are outlined below:   As at 30 Sep 2016

35: Structured Entities
A structured entity (‘SE’) is an entity that has been designed sothat voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding
who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate
to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directedby means of contractual arrangements. A structured entity often
has some or all of the following features or attributes:}} restricted activities;}} a narrow and well-defined objective;}} insufficient equity to permit the SE to finance its activities
without subordinated financial support; and/or}} financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments toinvestors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).
SEs are consolidated when control exists in accordance with theaccounting policy disclosed in note 1(A)(vi). In other cases theGroup may have an interest in or sponsor a SE but not consolidate
it. This note provides information on both consolidated andunconsolidated SEs.
The Group’s involvement with SEs is mainly through securitisation,
covered bond issuances, structured finance arrangements and funds
management activities. SEs may be established either by the Groupor by a third party.
Securitisation
The Group uses SEs to securitise customer loans and advances thatit has originated in order to diversify its sources of funding for liquidity
management. Such securitisation transactions involve transfers to
an internal securitisation (bankruptcy remote) vehicle created for the
purpose of structuring assets that are eligible for repurchase underagreements with the applicable central bank (that is, Repo eligible).
The internal securitisation SEs are consolidated. Refer to note 36 forfurther details.
The Group also establishes SEs on behalf of its customers to securitise
their loans or receivables. The Group may manage these securitisation
vehicles and/or provide liquidity or other support. Additionally, theGroup may acquire interests in securitisation vehicles set up by third
parties through holding securities issued by such entities. While themajority are unconsolidated, in limited circumstances the Group
consolidates SEs used in securitisation when control exists.
Covered bond issuances
Certain loans and advances have been assigned to bankruptcy
remote SEs to provide security for issuances of debt securities
by the Group. The Group retains control of the SEs and accordingly
they are consolidated. Refer to note 36 for further details.
Structured finance arrangements
The Group is involved with SEs established in connection with structured
lending transactions to facilitate debt syndication and/or to ring-fencecollateral assets. The Group is also involved with SEs established to own
assets that are leased to customers in structured leasing transactions.
Sometimes, the Group may also manage the SE, hold minor amountsof capital or provide risk management products (derivatives). The abilityof the Group to participate in decisions about the relevant activitiesof these SEs varies. In most instances the Group does not control theseSEs. Further, the Group’s involvement typically does not establish morethan a passive interest in decisions about the relevant activities andaccordingly is not considered disclosable as discussed in (b) below.
Funds management activities
The Group’s Wealth Australia and New Zealand divisions conduct
investment management and other fiduciary activities as a
responsible entity, trustee, custodian or manager for investment
funds and trusts, including superannuation funds and wholesale
and retail trusts (collectively ‘Investment Funds’). The Investment
Funds are financed through the issue of puttable units to investors
and are considered by the Group to be SEs. The Group’s exposure
to Investment Funds includes holding units and receiving fees forservices. Where the Group invests in Investment Funds on behalf ofpolicyholders they are consolidated when control is deemed to exist.
(a) Financial or other support provided to consolidated
structured entities
Pursuant to contractual arrangements, the Group provides financial
support to consolidated SEs as outlined below (these represent
intra‑group transactions which are eliminated on consolidation):}} Securitisation and covered bond issuances:
The Group provides lending facilities, derivatives and commitments
to these SEs and/or holds debt instruments that they have issued.
Refer to note 36 for further details in relation to the Group’s internal
securitisation programmes and covered bond issuances.
}} Structured finance arrangements:
The assets held by these SEs are normally pledged as collateral for
finance provided. Certain consolidated SEs are financed entirely by
the Group while others are financed by syndicated loan facilities inwhich the Group is a participant. The financing provided by the Group
includes lending facilities where the Group’s exposure is limited to theamount of the loan and any undrawn amount. Additionally the Grouphas provided Letters of Support to these consolidated SEs confirmingthat the Group will not demand repayment of the financing provided
for the ensuing 12 month period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

151

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

35: Structured Entities (continued)
The Group did not provide any non-contractual support to consolidated SEs during the year (2015: nil).
Other than as disclosed above the Group does not have any current intention of providing financial or other support to consolidated SEs.
(b) Group’s interest in unconsolidated structured entities
An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated SE is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement which exposes the Group to variability of returns
from the performance of that entity. Such interests include, but are not limited to, holdings of debt or equity securities, derivatives that pass-on risks
specific to the performance of the structured entity, lending, loan commitments, financial guarantees and fees from funds management activities.
For the purpose of disclosing interests in unconsolidated SEs:}} no disclosure has been made where the Group’s involvement does not establish more than a passive interest, for example, when the Group’s
involvement constitutes a typical customer-supplier relationship. On this basis, exposures to unconsolidated SEs that arise from lending,
trading and investing activities are not considered disclosable interests unless the design of the structured entity allows the Group to
participate in decisions about the relevant activities (being the activities that significantly affect returns).
}} ‘interests’ do not include derivatives intended to expose the Group to market-risk (rather than performance risk specific to the SE) or derivatives
where the Group creates rather than absorbs variability of the unconsolidated SE (such as purchase of credit protection under a credit default swap).
The following table sets out the Group’s interests in unconsolidated SEs together with the maximum exposure to loss that could arise fromsuch interests.

In addition to the interests above, the Group earned funds
management fees from unconsolidated SEs of $524 million(2015: $542 million) during the year.

}} Investment funds: Size is indicated by Funds Under Management
which vary by SE with a maximum value of approximately$35.0 billion (2015: $33.8 billion).

The Group’s maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum
amount of loss that the Group could incur as a result of its
involvement with unconsolidated SEs, regardless of the probabilityof occurrence, if loss events were to take place. This does not in any
way represent the actual losses expected to be incurred. Instead,the maximum exposure to loss is contingent in nature and may arise
for instance upon the bankruptcy of an issuer of securities or debtor
or if liquidity facilities or guarantees were to be called upon.
Furthermore, the maximum exposure to loss is stated gross of theeffects of hedging and collateral arrangements entered into
to mitigate ANZ’s exposure to loss.

The Group did not provide any non-contractual support
to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2015: nil).

For each type of interest, maximum exposure to loss has been
determined as follows:}} available-for-sale assets and investments backing policy
liabilities – carrying amount; and}} loans and advances – carrying amount plus undrawn amountof any commitments.
Information about the size of the unconsolidated SEs that theGroup is involved with is as follows:}} Securitisation and structured finance: Size is indicated by total
assets which vary by SE with a maximum value of approximately$1.7 billion (2015: $1.7 billion); and152

The Group does not have any current intention of providing
financial or other support to unconsolidated SEs.
(c) Sponsored unconsolidated structured entities
The Group may also sponsor unconsolidated SEs in which it has
no disclosable interest.
For the purposes of this disclosure, the Group considers itself
the ‘sponsor’ of an unconsolidated SE where it is the primary
party involved in the design and establishment of that SE and:}} where the Group is the major user of that SE;}} the Group’s name appears in the name of that SE or on its
products; or}} the Group provides implicit or explicit guarantees of that
SE’s performance.
The Group has sponsored the ANZ PIE Fund in New Zealand whichinvests only in deposits with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited. The
Group does not provide any implicit or explicit guarantees of thecapital value or performance of investments in the ANZ PIE Fund.
There was no income received from nor assets transferred to thisentity during the year.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

36: Transfers of Financial Assets
The Group enters into transactions in the normal course of businessby which it transfers financial assets directly to third parties or toSEs. These transfers may give rise to the full or partial derecognitionof those financial assets depending on the Group’s continuing
involvement and exposure to risks and rewards.
SECURITISATIONSNet loans and advances include residential mortgages securitised
under the Group’s securitisation programs which are assigned tobankruptcy remote SEs to provide security for obligations payable
on the notes issued by the SEs. This includes mortgages that areheld for potential repurchase agreements (Repos) with central banks.
The holders of the issued notes have full recourse to the pool ofresidential mortgages which have been securitised and the Company
cannot otherwise pledge or dispose of the transferred assets.

The Company is required to maintain the cover pool at a levelsufficient to cover the bond obligations. In addition the Company
is entitled to any residual income of the covered bond SEs and enters
into derivatives with the SEs. The Company is therefore deemed tohave retained the majority of the risks and rewards of the residential
mortgages and as such continues to recognise the mortgages
as financial assets. The obligation to pay this amount to the SEs
is recognised as a financial liability of the Company.
The Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with
the Covered Bond SEs and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the SE’s activities. The SEs are therefore
consolidated by the Group. The covered bonds issued externally
are included within debt issuances.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

In some instances the Company is also the holder of the securitisednotes. In addition, the Company is entitled to any residual incomeof the SEs and enters into derivatives with the SEs. The Company
is therefore deemed to have retained the majority of the risks andrewards of the residential mortgages and as such continues torecognise the mortgages as financial assets. The obligation to pay thisamount to the SE is recognised as a financial liability of the Company.

Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements are considered
to be transferred assets that do not qualify for derecognition whensubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with theGroup. An associated liability is recognised for the consideration
received from the counterparty.

The Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement withthese securitisation SEs and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the SE’s activities. The SEs are therefore
consolidated by the Group.

The Company arranges funding for certain customer transactions
through structured leasing and commodity prepayment arrangements.
At times, other financial institutions participate in the funding ofthese arrangements. This participation involves a proportionate
transfer of the rights to the lease receivable or financing arrangement.
The participating banks have limited recourse to the leased assets
or financed commodity and related proceeds. Circumstances may arise
whereby the Company continues to be exposed to some of the risksof the transferred lease receivable or financing arrangement througha derivative or other continuing involvement. When this occurs, the leasereceivable or loan is not derecognised and the Company will instead
recognise an associated liability representing its obligations to theparticipating financial institutions.

COVERED BONDS
The Group operates various global covered bond programs to raisefunding in its primary markets. Net loans and advances include
residential mortgages assigned to bankruptcy remote SEs associatedwith these covered bond programs. The mortgages provide security
for the obligations payable on the issued covered bonds.
The covered bond holders have dual recourse to the issuer and thecover pool of assets. The issuer cannot otherwise pledge or disposeof the transferred assets, however, subject to legal arrangements
it may repurchase and substitute assets as long as the required
cover is maintained.

37: Life Insurance Business
The Group conducts its life insurance business through OnePath Life Limited and OnePath Life (NZ) Limited. This note is intended
to provide disclosures in relation to the life insurance businesses conducted through these controlled entities.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY OF LIFE INSURER
Australian life insurers are required to hold reserves in excess of policy liabilities to support capital requirements under theLife Insurance Act (Life Act).
The life insurance business in New Zealand is not governed by the Life Act as this is a foreign domiciled life insurance company.
The company is however required to meet similar capital requirements.
The summarised capital information below, in respect of capital requirements under the Life Act, has been extracted from the financial
statements prepared by OnePath Life Limited. For detailed capital adequacy information on a statutory fund basis, users of this annual

c) Sensitivity analysis – Life investment contract liabilities
Market risk arises on the Group’s life insurance business in respectof life investment contracts where an element of the liability to thepolicyholder is guaranteed by the Group. The value of the guarantee
is impacted by changes in underlying asset values and interest rates.
As at 30 September 2016, a 10% decline in equity markets would
have decreased profit by $10 million (2015: $12 million) and a 10%
increase would have increased profit by $2 million (2015: $5 million).
A 1% increase in interest rates at 30 September 2016 would havedecreased profit by $13 million (2015: $4 million) and a 1% decrease
would have increased profit by $2 million (2015: $6 million).

METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS – LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS
Significant actuarial methods
The effective date of the actuarial report on policy liabilities (which
includes insurance contract liabilities and life investment contract
liabilities) and solvency requirements is 30 September 2016.
In Australia, the actuarial report was prepared by Mr Jaimie Sach FIAA
Appointed Actuary, a fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia.
The actuarial reports indicate Mr Sach is satisfied as to the accuracyof the data upon which policy liabilities have been determined.
The amount of policy liabilities has been determined in accordancewith methods and assumptions disclosed in this financial report andthe requirements of the Life Act, which includes applicable standardsof APRA.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

37: Life Insurance Business (continued)
In New Zealand, the actuarial report was prepared by Mr Michael Bartram FIAA FNZSA, a fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia
and a fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries. The actuarial reports indicate that Mr Bartram is satisfied as to the accuracyof the data upon which policy liabilities have been determined.
Policy liabilities have been calculated in accordance with Prudential Standard LPS 340 Valuation of Policy Liabilities issued by APRA in
accordance with the requirements of the Life Act. For life insurance contracts the Standard requires the policy liabilities to be calculated
in a way which allows for the systematic release of planned margins as services are provided to policyholders.
The profit carriers used to achieve the systematic release of planned margins are based on the product groups.
Critical assumptions
The valuation of the policy liabilities is dependent on a number of variables including interest rates, equity prices, future expenses, mortality,
morbidity and inflation. The critical estimates and judgements used in determining the policy liabilities is set out in note 2 (vi) on page 78.
Sensitivity analysis – life insurance contracts
The Group conducts sensitivity analysis to quantify the exposure of the life insurance contracts to risk of changes in the key underlying variables
such as interest rates, equity prices, mortality, morbidity and inflation. The valuations included in the reported results and the Group’s best
estimate of future performance is calculated using certain assumptions about these variables. The movement in any key variable will impact
the performance and net assets of the Group and as such represents a risk. The table below illustrates how changes in key assumptions would
impact the reported profit, insurance contract policy liabilities and equity at 30 September 2016.

Morbidity risk

Discontinuance risk

The cost of health-related claims depends on both the incidenceof policyholders becoming ill and the duration which they remain
ill. Higher than expected incidence and duration would increaseclaim costs, reducing profit and shareholder equity.
An increase in discontinuance rates at earlier durations has a negative effectas it affects the ability to recover acquisition expenses and commissions.

LIFE INSURANCE RISK
Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to unexpected changes in current and future insurance claims rates. Insurance risk exposure arises in thelife insurance business as the risk that claims payments are greater than expected. In the life insurance business this arises primarily throughmortality (death) or morbidity (illness or injury) risks being greater than expected.
Insurance risks are controlled through the use of underwriting procedures and reinsurance arrangements. Controls are also maintained overclaims management practices to assist in the correct and timely payment of insurance claims. Regular monitoring of experience is conducted
at a sufficiently detailed level in order to identify any deviation from expected claim levels.
Financial risks relating to the Group’s life insurance business are generally monitored and controlled by selecting appropriate assets to backinsurance and life investment contract liabilities. Wherever possible within regulatory constraints, the Group segregates policyholders funds
from shareholders funds and sets investment mandates that are appropriate for each. The assets are regularly monitored by the Wealth Asset
Liability Committee and Wealth Product Committee to ensure that there are no material asset and liability mismatch issues and other risks,such as liquidity risk and credit risk, are maintained within acceptable limits.
All financial assets within the life insurance statutory funds directly support either the Group’s life insurance contracts, life investment contracts
or capital requirements. Market risk arises for the Group on contracts where the liabilities to policyholders are guaranteed. The Group manages thisrisk by the monthly monitoring and rebalancing of assets to policy liabilities. However, for some contracts the ability to match asset characteristics
with policy obligations is constrained by a number of factors including regulatory constraints, the lack of suitable investments as well as by thenature of the policy liabilities themselves.
Market risk also arises from those life investment contracts where the asset management fees earned are directly impacted by the valueof the underlying assets. The Group is exposed to the risk of future decreased asset management fees as a result of a decline in assets undermanagement and operational risk associated with the possible failure to administer life investment contracts in accordance with the productterms and conditions.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

37: Life Insurance Business (continued)
Risk strategy
In compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements, a strategy is in place to monitor that the risks underwritten satisfy policyholders’risk and reward objectives whilst not adversely affecting the Group’s ability to pay benefits and claims when due. The strategy involves theidentification of risks by type, impact and likelihood, the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate the risks, and continuous
monitoring and improvement of the procedures in place to minimise the chance of an adverse compliance or operational risk event occurring.
Included in this strategy are the processes and controls over underwriting, claims management and product pricing. Capital management
is also a key aspect of the Group’s risk management strategy.
Allocation of capital
The Group’s life insurance businesses are subject to regulatory capital requirements which prescribe the amount of capital to be held dependingon the contract liability.
Solvency margin requirements established by APRA are in place to reinforce safeguards for policyholders’ interest, which are primarily the ability
to meet future claims payments in respect of existing policies.
Methods to limit or transfer insurance risk exposures
Reinsurance – Reinsurance treaties are analysed using a number of analytical modelling tools to assess the impact on the Group’s exposure
to risk with the objective of achieving the desired choice of the type of reinsurance and retention levels.
Underwriting procedures – Strategic underwriting decisions are put into effect using the underwriting procedures detailed in the Group’s
underwriting manual. Such procedures include limits to delegated authorities and signing powers.
Claims management – Strict claims management procedures are in place to assist in the timely and correct payment of claims in accordancewith policy conditions.

38: Superannuation and Post Employment Benefit Obligations

The sensitivity analysis shows the effect of reasonably possible
changes in significant assumptions on the value of scheme liabilities.
The sensitivities provided assume that all other assumptions remainunchanged and are not intended to represent changes that are theextremes of possibility. The figure shown is the difference between
the recalculated liability figure and that stated in the balance sheet
as detailed above.

The employer contributions to the defined contribution sectionsof the schemes are included as superannuation costs inpersonnel expenses.

GOVERNANCE OF THE SCHEMES AND FUNDING OF THE
DEFINED BENEFIT SECTIONS

Further details about the funding and contributions for the main
defined benefit sections of the schemes are described below.

The main schemes in which the Group participates operate undertrust law and are managed and administered on behalf of themembers in accordance with the terms of the relevant trust deed
and rules and all relevant legislation. These schemes have corporate
trustees, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Group. The
trustees are the legal owners of the assets which are held separatelyfrom the assets of the Group. The trustees are solely responsible forsetting investment policy and for agreeing funding requirementswith the employer through the triennial actuarial valuation process.

}} ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme
The Pension Section of the ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation
Scheme provides pension benefits to retired members and theirdependants. This section of the Scheme was closed to newmembers in 1987.

Employer contributions to the defined benefit schemes are
based on recommendations by the schemes’ actuaries. Funding
recommendations are made by the actuaries based on assumptionsof various matters such as future investment performance, interest
rates, salary increases, mortality rates and turnover levels. The funding
methods adopted by the actuaries are intended to ensure that thebenefit entitlements of employees are fully funded by the time they
become payable.
As at the most recent reporting dates of the schemes, the aggregate
deficit of net market value of assets over the value of accrued benefits
on the funding bases was $52 million (2015: $129 million).
In 2016 the Group made contributions totalling $55 million (2015:$79 million) to the defined benefit sections of the schemes, and expects
to make around $2 million of contributions in the next financial year.

The Group has a legal liability to fund deficits in the schemes, but
no legal right to use any surplus in the schemes to further its own
interests. The Group has no present liability to settle deficits with
an immediate contribution.

An interim actuarial valuation, conducted by consulting actuaries
Russell Employee Benefits as at 31 December 2015, showeda deficit of $0.6 million and the actuary recommended that theGroup make no contribution to the Pension Section for the year
to 31 December 2016 and the funding position be reviewed
as part of the full actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2016.
The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust
Deed to commence contributions or fund any deficit.
}} ANZ UK Staff Pension Scheme
This Scheme provides pension benefits. From 1 October 2003,
members contribute 5% of their salary. The Scheme was closed to
new members on 1 October 2004.
A full actuarial valuation, conducted by consulting actuaries Willis
Towers Watson as at 31 December 2015, showed a deficit of GBP
21 million ($36 million at 30 September 2016 exchange rates)
measured on a funding basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

38: Superannuation and Post Employment Benefit Obligations (continued)
Following the full actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2015,
the Group agreed to make regular contributions at the rate of 26%
of pensionable salaries. These contributions are sufficient to cover
the cost of accruing benefits. To address the deficit, the Groupagreed to continue to pay additional quarterly contributionsof 7.5 million until September 2016. These contributions will be
reviewed following the next actuarial valuation which is scheduled
to be undertaken as at 31 December 2018.
The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deedto fund the deficit measured on a funding basis. A contingent
liability may arise in the event that the Scheme was wound up.
If this were to happen, the Trustee would be able to pursue theGroup for additional contributions under the UK Employer Debt
Regulations. The Group intends to continue the Scheme on an
on‑going basis.

In Australia, ANZ ordinary shares were granted to eligible employees
for nil consideration and vested on grant, as there is no forfeitureprovision. It is a requirement, however, that shares are held in trust forthree years from the date of grant, after which time they may remain
in trust, be transferred to the employee’s name or sold. Dividends
received on the shares are automatically reinvested into the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan.
In New Zealand shares were granted to eligible employees upon
payment of NZD one cent per share.
Shares granted in New Zealand under this plan vest subject to thesatisfaction of a three year service period, after which time they
may remain in trust, be transferred into the employee’s nameor sold. Unvested shares are forfeited in the event of resignation
or dismissal for serious misconduct. Dividends are either paid
as cash or reinvested into the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

}} National Bank Staff Superannuation FundThe defined benefit section of the Fund provides pension benefits
and was closed to new members on 1 October 1991. Members
contribute 5% of salary.

During the 2016 year, 626,121 shares with an issue price of $27.60
were granted under the Employee Share Offer to employees on
3 December 2015 (2015 year: 643,568 shares with an issue priceof $31.84 were granted on 4 December 2014).

An actuarial valuation of the National Bank Staff Superannuation
Fund, conducted by consulting actuaries AON Consulting NZ,
as at 31 March 2015 showed a surplus of NZD 3 million ($3 million
at 30 September 2016 exchange rates). The actuary recommended
that the Group make contributions of 24.8% of salaries including
employer superannuation contribution tax) in respect of membersof the defined benefit section.

Deferred Share Plan
Under ANZ’s standard Short Term Incentive (STI)1 arrangements
equity deferral into shares applies to half of all incentive amounts
above a specified threshold. Half the deferred portion is deferredfor one year and half deferred for two years.

The Group has no present liability under the Fund’s Trust Deed tofund the deficit measured on a funding basis. A contingent liability
may arise in the event that the Fund was wound up. Under the
Fund’s Trust Deed, if the Fund were wound up, the Group is required
to pay the Trustees of the Fund an amount sufficient to ensure
members do not suffer a reduction in benefits to which they would
otherwise be entitled. The Group intends to continue the defined
benefit section of the Fund on an on-going basis.
Amounts were also recognised in the financial statements in respectof other defined benefit arrangements in Taiwan, Japan, Philippines
and the UK.

39: Employee Share and Option Plans
ANZ operates a number of employee share and option schemes
under the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ
Share Option Plan.
ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE ACQUISITION PLAN
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan schemes that operated during
the 2015 and 2016 years were the Employee Share Offer and theDeferred Share Plan.
Employee Share Offer
Most permanent employees who have had continuous service
for three years are eligible to participate in the Employee Share
Offer enabling the grant of up to AUD1,000 of ANZ shares in eachfinancial year, subject to approval of the Board. At a date approvedby the Board, the shares will be granted to all eligible employees
using the one week Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of ANZshares traded on the ASX in the week leading up to and including
the date of grant.

160

Under the Institutional Total Incentives Performance Plan (TIPP)
mandatory deferral into shares also applies to 60% of incentive
amounts above a specified threshold, deferred evenly overthree years.
Selected employees may be granted Long Term Incentive (LTI)2
deferred shares which vest to the employee three years fromthe date of grant.
In exceptional circumstances, deferred shares may be granted tocertain employees upon commencement with ANZ to compensate
for remuneration forgone from their previous employer. The
vesting period generally aligns with the remaining vesting periodof remuneration forgone, and therefore varies between grants.
Retention deferred shares may also be granted occasionally to highperforming employees who are regarded as a significant retention
risk to ANZ.
Unless the Board decides otherwise, unvested deferred shares areforfeited on resignation, termination on notice or dismissal forserious misconduct. Deferred shares remain at risk and can be
adjusted downwards at any time prior to the vesting date. The
deferred shares may be held in trust beyond the deferral period.
The employee receives dividends on deferred shares while thoseshares are held in trust (cash or Dividend Reinvestment Plan).
Deferred share rights may be granted instead of deferred sharesin some countries as locally appropriate (refer to Deferred Share
Rights section).
1 Also referred to as Annual Variable Remuneration (AVR).
2 Also referred to as Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR).

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

39: Employee Share and Option Plans (continued)
The issue price for deferred shares is based on the VWAP of theshares traded on the ASX in the week leading up to and including
the date of grant.
During the 2016 year, 5,797,450 deferred shares with a weighted
average grant price of $26.15 were granted under the deferred shareplan (2015 year: 5,129,479 shares with a weighted average grant priceof $31.96 were granted).
In accordance with the downward adjustment provisions detailedin Section 6.2 of the 2016 Remuneration Report, Board discretion
was exercised to adjust downward 9,397 deferred shares in 2016
and 135,592 deferred shares in 2015.
Share Valuations
The fair value of shares granted in the 2016 year under the Employee
Share Offer and the Deferred Share Plan, measured as at the dateof grant of the shares, is $171.3 million based on 6,423,571 sharesat a volume weighted average price of $26.67 (2015 year: fair valueof shares granted was $184.4 million based on 5,773,047 shares at
a weighted average price of $31.93). The VWAP of all ANZ shares soldon the ASX on the date of grant is used to calculate the fair value ofshares. No dividends are incorporated into the measurement of thefair value of shares.
ANZ SHARE OPTION PLAN
Selected employees may be granted options/rights, which entitle
them to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in ANZ at a price fixedat the time the options/rights are granted. Voting and dividend
rights will be attached to the ordinary shares allocated on exerciseof the options/rights.
Each option/right entitles the holder to one ordinary share subject
to the terms and conditions imposed on grant. The exercise priceof the options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan,is generally based on the VWAP of the shares traded on the ASX
in the week leading up to and including the date of grant. For rights,
the exercise price is nil.
The option plan rules set out the entitlements a holder of options/rights has prior to exercise in the event of a bonus issue, pro rata
new issue or reorganisation of ANZ’s share capital. In summary:}} if ANZ has issued bonus shares during the life of an option andprior to the exercise of the option, then when the option is
exercised the option holder is also entitled to be issued such
number of bonus shares as the holder would have been entitledto if the option holder had held the underlying shares at the timeof the bonus issue;}} if ANZ makes a pro rata offer of securities during the life ofan option and prior to the exercise of the option, the exercise
price of the option will be adjusted in the manner set out in
the ASX Listing Rules; and}} in respect of rights, if there is a bonus issue or reorganisationof ANZ’s share capital, the number of rights or the number ofunderlying shares may be adjusted so that there is no advantage
or disadvantage to the holder.

Holders otherwise have no other entitlements to participate in any
new issue of ANZ securities prior to exercise of their options/rights.
Holders also have no right to participate in a share issue of a body
corporate other than ANZ (such as a subsidiary).
For equity grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of theaward which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment
rather than shares at the Board’s discretion.
ANZ Share Option Plan schemes expensed in the 2015 and 2016
years are as follows:
Option Plans that operated during 2015 and 2016
Performance Rights Plan (excluding CEO Performance Rights)
Performance rights are granted to selected employees as part of
ANZ’s incentive plans. Performance rights provide the right to acquire
ANZ shares at nil cost, subject to a three year vesting period and Total
Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdles.
The provisions that apply in the case of cessation of employment
are detailed in Section 6.3 of the 2016 Remuneration Report.
During the 2016 year, 1,411,054 performance rights (excluding
CEO performance rights) were granted (2015: 1,389,890).
In accordance with the downward adjustment provisions detailedin Section 6.2 of the 2016 Remuneration Report, Board discretion
was exercised to adjust downward zero performance rights in 2016
and 1,552 performance rights in 2015.
CEO Performance Rights
At the 2015 Annual General Meeting shareholders approved a LTI
grant of performance rights to the incoming CEO with a face valueof $4.2 million (at 100% vesting), divided into three equal tranches.
This equated to 53,191 performance rights being allocated for eachtranche (a total of 159,573 performance rights). Each tranche will
be subject to testing against a separate TSR hurdle after three years
from the start of the performance period, 18 November 2018.
The provisions that apply in the case of cessation of employment
are detailed in Section 6.3 of the 2016 Remuneration Report.
Former CEO Performance Rights
At the 2012, 2013 and 2014 Annual General Meetings shareholders
approved LTI grants to the Former CEO with a fair value of$3.15 million in 2012 and 2013, and with a fair a value of $3.4 million
in 2014. This equated to a total of 328,810 (2012), 201,086 (2013) and
229,272 (2014) performance rights being allocated, which are subject
to testing against a TSR hurdle after three years, being December
2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. The 2012 grant of performancerights was tested in December 2015. ANZ achieved a TSR of 31.31%
over the three year performance period. ANZ’s TSR did not reach themedian of the comparator group and accordingly, the performancerights did not vest and lapsed in full at this time. The Former CEO
received no value. There is no retesting of this grant.

39: Employee Share and Option Plans (continued)
Deferred Share Rights (no performance hurdles)

In determining the fair value below, the standard market techniques for valuation, including Monte Carlo and/or Black Scholes pricing
models, were applied in accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based payments. The models take into account early exercise
of vested equity, non-transferability and market based performance hurdles (if any). The significant assumptions used to measure the fairvalue of instruments granted during 2016 are contained in the table below:

1 Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ's share price is expected to fluctuate over the life of the rights. The measure of volatility used in the model is the annualised
standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the historical share price over a deferred period of time preceding the date of grant. This historical average annualised
volatility is then used to estimate a reasonable expected volatility over the expected life of the rights.

1 Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fluctuate over the life of the rights. The measure of volatility used in the model is the annualised
standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the historical share price over a defined period of time preceding the date of grant. This historical average annualised
volatility is then used to estimate a reasonable expected volatility over the expected life of the rights.

41: Other Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
In addition to the credit related contingent liabilities included at note 25, the Group also had contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2016
in respect of the matters outlined below. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions
and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of theindividual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because such disclosure may prejudice the interests of the Group.
i) Bank fees litigation
Litigation funder IMF Bentham Limited commenced a class action against ANZ in 2010, followed by a second similar class action in March 2013.
The applicants contended that certain exception fees (honour, dishonour and non-payment fees on transaction accounts and late payment andoverlimit fees on credit cards) were unenforceable penalties (at law and in equity) and that various of the fees were also unenforceable understatutory provisions governing unconscionable conduct, unfair contract terms and unjust transactions. In August 2014, IMF Bentham Limited
commenced a separate class action against ANZ challenging late payment fees charged to ANZ customers in respect of commercial credit
cards and other ANZ products (at this stage not specified). This action is expressed to apply to all relevant customers, rather than being limited
to those who have signed up with IMF Bentham Limited.
In the second class action, all the applicants' claims have failed. The claims in relation to all fees were dismissed by the Full Federal Court.
That decision was appealed to the High Court only in relation to credit card late payment fees (the other claims were not appealed).
On 27 July 2016 the High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the judgment in favour of ANZ in respect of credit card late payment fees.
The applicants are presently considering the implications of the High Court's decision for the remaining class actions, which have been on holdpending the outcome of the second class action. ANZ believes that the remaining class actions are likely to be discontinued or dismissed.
ii) Proceedings in relation to Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW)
On 4 March 2016, ASIC commenced court proceedings against ANZ. ASIC is seeking declarations and civil penalties for alleged market
manipulation, unconscionable conduct, misleading or deceptive conduct, and alleged breaches by ANZ of certain statutory obligations asa financial services licensee. ASIC has subsequently initiated similar proceedings against two other Australian banks. ASIC’s case against ANZ
concerns transactions in the Australian interbank BBSW market in the period from March 2010 to May 2012. ANZ is defending the proceedings.
The potential civil penalty or other financial impact is uncertain.
In August 2016, a class action complaint was brought in the United States District Court against two international broking houses and 17 banks,
including ANZ. The class action is brought by two US-based investment funds and an individual derivatives trader. The action is expressed toapply to persons and entities that engaged in US-based transactions in financial instruments that were priced, benchmarked, and/or settled
based on BBSW, from 1 January 2003 onwards. The claimants seek damages or compensation in amounts not specified, and allege that thedefendant banks, including ANZ, violated US anti-trust laws, anti-racketeering laws, the Commodity Exchange Act, and unjust enrichment
principles. ANZ is defending the proceedings. The action is at an early stage.
iii) Regulator investigations into foreign exchange trading
Since 2014, each of ASIC and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have been investigating foreign exchange trading
conduct of various banks including ANZ. ASIC’s and the ACCC’s investigations are ongoing and the range of potential outcomes include civil
penalties and other actions under the relevant legislation.
iv) Other regulatory reviews
In recent years there have been significant increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, enforcement actions(whether by court action or otherwise) and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against financial institutions both in Australia
and globally. The nature of these investigations and reviews can be wide ranging and, for example, currently include a range of matters
including responsible lending practices, wealth advice and product suitability, conduct in financial markets and capital market transactions.
During the year, ANZ has received various notices and requests for information from its regulators as part of both industry-wide and ANZspecific reviews. The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews remain uncertain.

41: Other Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (continued)v) Security recovery actions
Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets over recent years. ANZ
will defend these claims.
vi) Clearing and settlement obligations
In accordance with the clearing and settlement arrangements set out:}} in the Australian Payments Clearing Association Limited’s Regulations for the Australian Paper Clearing System, the Bulk Electronic Clearing
System, the Issuers and Acquirers Community and the High Value Clearing System (HVCS), the Company has a commitment to comply withrules which could result in a bilateral exposure and loss in the event of a failure to settle by a member institution. The exposure arising fromthese arrangements is unquantifiable in advance; and}} in the Austraclear System Regulations (Austraclear) and the CLS Bank International Rules, the Company has a commitment to participate
in loss-sharing arrangements in the event of a failure to settle by a member institution. The exposure arising from these arrangements is
unquantifiable in advance.
For HVCS and Austraclear, the obligation arises only in limited circumstances.
vii) Parent entity guarantees
The Company has issued letters of comfort and guarantees in respect of certain subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Under theseletters and guarantees, the Company undertakes to ensure that those subsidiaries continue to meet their financial obligations, subject to certain
conditions including that the entity remains a controlled entity of the Company.
viii) Sale of Grindlays businesses
On 31 July 2000, ANZ completed the sale to Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) of ANZ Grindlays Bank Limited and the private banking business of
ANZ in the United Kingdom and Jersey, together with ANZ Grindlays (Jersey) Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, for USD1.3 billion in cash.
ANZ provided warranties and certain indemnities relating to those businesses and, where it was anticipated that payments would be likely
under the warranties or indemnities, made provisions to cover the anticipated liability. The issue below has not impacted adversely the reported
results. All settlements, penalties and costs to date have been covered within existing provisions.
Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (India)
In 1991 certain amounts were transferred from non-convertible Indian Rupee accounts maintained with Grindlays in India. These transactions
may not have complied with the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. Grindlays, on its own initiative, brought thesetransactions to the attention of the Reserve Bank of India. The Indian authorities served notices on Grindlays and certain of its officers in India
and civil penalties have been imposed which are the subject of appeals. Criminal prosecutions are pending and will be defended. The amounts
in issue are not material.

Group Policy allows KPMG Australia or any of its related practices to provide assurance and other audit-related services that, while outside thescope of the statutory audit, are consistent with the role of external auditor. These include regulatory and prudential reviews requested by theCompany’s regulators such as APRA. Any other services that are not audit or audit-related services are non-audit services. Group Policy allows
certain non-audit services to be provided where the service would not contravene auditor independence requirements. KPMG Australia or anyof its related practices may not provide services that are perceived to be in conflict with the role of the external auditor. These include consulting
advice and subcontracting of operational activities normally undertaken by management, and engagements where the auditor may ultimately
be required to express an opinion on its own work.

43: Changes to Comparatives
Certain amounts reported as comparative information have changed as a result of being reclassified to conform with current period financial
statement presentation.
Organisational restructure
During 2016, the Group announced changes to the organisation’s structure to better meet the needs of our retail, commercial and institutionalcustomers. As a result of these organisational changes there are six reported divisions: Australia, New Zealand, Institutional, Asia Retail & Pacific,
Wealth Australia and Technology, Services & Operations ('TSO') and Group Centre.
These divisions were created by removing the Asia Retail & Pacific business from the former International and Institutional Banking (IIB)
division, and repositioning minority investments in Asia from IIB to the Group Centre with the residual IIB business re-named Institutional.
The New Zealand funds management and insurance businesses were repositioned to the New Zealand division, and the Private Bank business
was reorganised along geographic lines under the Australia, New Zealand and Asia Retail & Pacific divisions with the residual Global Wealthbusiness re-named Wealth Australia. Comparative information has been restated.
Card related fees
Certain card related fees that are integral to the generation of income were reclassified within total income and from operating expenses to total
income to better reflect the nature of the items. Comparatives in notes 4, 5 and 9 have changed.
Insurance and other wealth related income
Income from certain insurance and other wealth related products have been reclassified within total income to better reflect the nature of theitems. Comparatives in note 4 have changed.

44: Events Since the End of the Financial Year
On 31 October 2016 the Group announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its Retail and Wealth businesses in Singapore, China,
Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Indonesia to DBS Bank Limited for a premium of approximately $110 million over the book value of net assets, whichprincipally comprised approximately $11 billion of gross lending assets and $17 billion of deposits as at 30 September 2016. The final purchaseprice will be based on the net assets at completion.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approval in each country, with completion occurring on a rolling country by country basis from mid
financial year 2017 with all countries expected to be completed with 18 months.
The Group anticipates the transaction will generate a net loss of approximately $265 million (post-tax) including write-downs of software,
goodwill and fixed assets, as well as separation and transaction costs.
The assets associated with the Retail Asia and Wealth businesses were assessed for impairment as at 30 September 2016 on the basis of thebusinesses being a continuing operation and no impairment was identified. Additionally, the assets did not meet the conditions for ‘held for sale’
classification under AASB 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
Other than this matter, no other material events have occurred between the end of the reporting period (30 September 2016) and the dateof this report.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

1. Introduction
The Group’s activities are subject to risks that can adversely
impact its business, operations and financial condition. The risks
and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that theGroup may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Groupis unaware of, or that the Group currently deems to be immaterial,
may also become important factors that affect it. If any of the listed
or unlisted risks actually occur, the Group’s business, operations,financial condition, or reputation could be materially and adversely
affected, with the result that the trading price of the Group’s equity
or debt securities could decline, and investors could lose all or partof their investment.
2. Changes in general business and economic conditions,
including disruption in regional or global credit andcapital markets, may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition
The Group’s financial performance is primarily influenced by the
economic conditions and the level of business activity in the majorcountries and regions in which it operates or trades, ie. Australia,
New Zealand, Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. The Group’sbusiness, operations, and financial condition can be negatively affectedby changes in economic and business conditions in these markets.
The economic and business conditions that prevail in the Group’s
major operating and trading markets are affected by domestic andinternational economic events, political events and natural disasters,
and by movements and events that occur in global financial markets.
For example, the global financial crisis that commenced in 2007 saw
a sudden and prolonged dislocation in credit and equity capital
markets, a contraction in global economic activity and the emergenceof many challenges for financial services institutions worldwide
that still persist to some extent in many regions. Sovereign risk andits potential impact on financial institutions in Europe and globallysubsequently emerged as a significant risk (see risk factor 5 'Sovereignrisk may destabilise global financial markets adversely affecting all
participants, including the Group').
The impact of the global financial crisis and its aftermath continue toaffect regional and global economic activity, confidence and capital
markets. Prudential authorities have implemented and continue to
implement increased regulations to mitigate the risk of such eventsrecurring, although there can be no assurance that such regulations
will be effective. The global financial crisis has also had a lasting effecton consumer and business behaviour in the advanced economies.
Consumers have acted more cautiously, while businesses havebeen reluctant to invest and inflation has remained low. Monetary
authorities have responded by introducing zero and near-zero interest
rates across most countries, while the major central banks have taken
unconventional steps to support growth and raise inflation. Whilesome economic factors have recently improved, lasting impacts
from the global financial crisis and the potential for escalationin geopolitical risks suggest ongoing vulnerability and potential
adjustment of consumer and business behaviour.
Additionally, on 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave theEuropean Union in a referendum. The Group expects there will be an
extended period of increased uncertainty and volatility in the global
financial markets while the details of the departure (known as 'Brexit')
are negotiated. The United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European
Union may adversely affect the Group’s ability to raise medium orlong term funding in the international capital markets. There is also
potential for further consequences of Brexit to adversely impact thefinancial markets.

Other current economic conditions impacting the Group and its
customers include changes in the commercial and residential
real estate markets in Australia and New Zealand (see risk factor 6'Weakening of the real estate markets in Australia, New Zealand orother markets where the Group does business may adversely affect its
business, operations and financial condition'). The demand for natural
resources is also an important economic influence given that sector
is a significant contributor to Australia’s economy and that sector’ssignificant exposure to Asia, particularly China and China’s economic
growth (see risk factor 21 'An increase in the failure of third parties
to honour their commitments in connection with the Group’s trading,lending, derivatives and other activities may adversely affect its
business, operations and financial condition').
Should difficult economic conditions in the Group’s markets eventuate,
asset values in the housing, commercial or rural property markets
could decline, unemployment could rise and corporate and personal
incomes could suffer. Also, deterioration in global markets, including
equity, property, currency and other asset markets, could impact theGroup’s customers and the security the Group holds against loans andother credit exposures, which may impact its ability to recover loans
and other credit exposures.
All or any of the negative economic and business impacts describedabove could cause a reduction in demand for the Group’s products
and services and/or an increase in loan and other credit defaults
and bad debts, which could adversely affect the Group’s business,
operations, and financial condition.
The Group’s financial performance could also be adversely affected
if it were unable to adapt cost structures, products, pricing or activities
in response to a drop in demand or lower than expected revenues.
Similarly, higher than expected costs (including credit and funding
costs) could be incurred because of adverse changes in the economy,
general business conditions or the operating environment in the
countries in which the Group operates.
Geopolitical instability, such as threats of, potential for, or actual
conflict, occurring around the world, such as the ongoing unrest andconflicts in the Ukraine, North Korea, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq
and elsewhere, as well as the current high threat of terrorist activities,
may also adversely affect global financial markets, general economic
and business conditions and the Group’s ability to continue operatingor trading in a country, which in turn may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations, and financial condition.
Natural and biological disasters such as, but not restricted to, cyclones,
floods, droughts, earthquakes and pandemics, and the economic
and financial market implications of such disasters on domestic andglobal conditions can adversely impact the Group’s ability to continue
operating or trading in the country or countries directly or indirectly
affected, which in turn may adversely affect the Group’s business,
operations and financial condition. For more risks in relation to naturaland biological disasters, refer to risk factor 23 'The Group may be
exposed to the impact of future climate change, geological events,
plant, animal and human diseases, and other extrinsic events which
may adversely affect its business, operations and financial condition'.
Other economic and financial factors or events that may adversely
affect the Group’s performance, and give rise to operational andmarkets risk are covered in risk factors 13 ('The Group is exposed tomarket risk, which may adversely affect its business, operations andfinancial condition') and 14 ('Changes in exchange rates may adversely
affect the Group’s business, operations and financial condition').

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES179PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

3. C ompetition may adversely affect the Group’s business,
operations and financial condition in the markets in which
it operates
The markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive andcould become even more so. Factors that contribute to competition
risk include industry regulation, mergers and acquisitions, changes
in customers’ needs and preferences, entry of new participants,
development of new distribution and service methods andtechnologies, increased diversification of products by competitors,
and regulatory changes in the rules governing the operationsof banks and non-bank competitors. For example, changes in thefinancial services sector in Australia and New Zealand have madeit possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionallyprovided by banks, such as payments, home loans, and credit cards.
In addition, it is possible that existing companies from outside of
the traditional financial services sector may seek to obtain banking
licences to directly compete with the Group by offering products andservices traditionally provided by banks. In addition, banks organisedin jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand are subject todifferent levels of regulation and some may have lower cost structures.
Increasing competition for customers could also potentially leadto a compression in the Group’s net interest margins or increased
advertising and related expenses to attract and retain customers.
Digital technologies are changing customer behaviour andthe competitive environment. The use of digital channels by
customers to conduct their banking continues to rise and emerging
competitors are increasingly utilising new technologies and seeking
to disrupt existing business models, including in relation to digital
payment services.
Furthermore, increased competition for deposits could also increase
the Group’s cost of funding and lead the Group to access other types
of funding or reduce lending. The Group relies on bank deposits tofund a significant portion of its balance sheet and deposits have beena relatively stable source of funding. The Group competes with banks
and other financial services firms for such deposits. To the extent
that the Group is not able to successfully compete for deposits, theGroup would be forced to rely more heavily on other, potentiallyless stable or more expensive forms of funding, or reduce lending.
This could adversely affect the Group’s business, prospects, financial
performance or financial condition.
The impact on ANZ of an increase in competitive market conditions,especially in the Group’s main markets and products, would
potentially lead to a material reduction in the market share and/or
margins of the relevant Group business(es), which would adversely
affect the Group’s financial performance and position.
4. C hanges in monetary policies may adversely affect theGroup’s business, operations and financial condition
Central monetary authorities (including the RBA, the RBNZ, theUnited States Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the monetary
authorities in the Asian jurisdictions in which the Group operates) set
official interest rates or take other measures to affect the demand formoney and credit in their relevant jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions,currency policy is also used to influence general business conditions
and the demand for money and credit. These policies can significantly
affect the Group’s cost of funds for lending and investing and thereturn that the Group will earn on those loans and investments.
These factors impact the Group’s net interest margin and can affectthe value of financial instruments it holds, such as debt securities andhedging instruments. The policies of the central monetary authorities
can also affect the Group’s borrowers, potentially increasing the riskthat they may fail to repay loans. Changes in such policies are difficult
to predict and may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations
and financial condition.
180

5. Sovereign risk may destabilise global financial markets
adversely affecting all participants, including the Group
Sovereign risk is the risk that foreign governments will default on theirdebt obligations, be unable to refinance their debts as and when theyfall due or nationalise parts of their economy. Sovereign risk remains inmany economies, including the United States, United Kingdom, China,
Europe and Australia. Should one sovereign default, there could be acascading effect to other markets and countries, the consequences ofwhich, while difficult to predict, may be similar to or worse than thoseexperienced during the global financial crisis and subsequent sovereign
debt crises. Such events could destabilise global financial markets,adversely affecting all participants, including adversely affecting theGroup’s liquidity, financial performance or financial condition.
6. Weakening of the real estate markets in Australia,
New Zealand or other markets where the Group does
business may adversely affect its business, operations
and financial condition
Residential and commercial property lending, together with realestate development and investment property finance, constituteimportant businesses to the Group. Major sub-segments within
the Group's lending portfolio include:}} Residential housing loans, owner occupier and investment; and}} Commercial real estate loans.
Declining asset prices could impact customers and counterparties
and the value of the security (including residential and commercial
property) the Group holds against loans which may impair theGroup’s ability to recover amounts owing to the Group if customers
or counterparties were to default. Since 2009, the world’s major
central banks have embarked upon unprecedented monetary
policy stimulus. The resulting weight of funds searching for yieldcontinues to drive underlying property markets in core ANZ property
jurisdictions (Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong).
Values for completed tenanted properties and residential house
prices, particularly in metro east coast Australian and New Zealandmarkets, have steadily risen.
A significant decrease in Australian and New Zealand housing
valuations triggered by, for example, an event or a series of eventsin the local or global economy, could adversely impact the Group’s
home lending activities because borrowers with loans in excess of
their property value show a higher propensity to default and, in theevent of such defaults our security values would be eroded, causing
the Group to incur higher credit losses which could adversely affect
the Group’s financial performance and condition. The demand for
the Group’s home lending products may also decline due to buyer
concerns about decreases in values or concerns about rising interest
rates, which could make the Group’s lending products less attractive
to potential homeowners and investors.
A significant decrease in commercial property valuations or asignificant slowdown in Australia, New Zealand or other commercial
real estate markets where the Group does business could result ina decrease in the amount of new lending the Group is able to write
and/or increase the losses that the Group may experience fromexisting loans, which, in either case, could materially and adversely
impact the Group’s financial condition and operations. The Group's
portfolio of commercial property interest only loans, may beparticularly susceptible to losses in the event of a decline in property
prices as a result of refinance risk and deteriorating security values.
A material decline in residential housing prices could also cause
losses in the Group’s residential build to sell portfolio if customers
who are pre-committed to purchase these dwellings are unable
or unwilling to complete their contracts and the Group is forced
to re-sell these dwellings at a loss.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

During the year the Group reduced the leverage it generally provides
for commercial property developers and investors. In addition the
Bank has tightened its general lending conditions such as requiring
higher levels of pre-commitments for build to sell developments
and higher interest cover ratios for investment loans. The Group alsoceased retail mortgage lending to non-permanent resident borrowers
and reduced its acceptance of foreign sourced income supportinga borrower’s serviceability assessment in borrower loan applications.
7. The Group is exposed to liquidity and funding risk,
which may adversely affect its business, operations andfinancial condition
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment
obligations as they fall due (including repaying depositors or maturingwholesale debt) or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fundincreases in assets. Liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations
due to the timing mismatch between cash inflows and cash outflows.
Reduced liquidity could lead to an increase in the cost of the Group’s
borrowings and constrain the volume of new lending, which could
adversely affect the Group’s profitability. A deterioration in investor
confidence in the Group could materially impact the Group’s costof borrowing, and the Group’s ongoing operations and funding.
The Group raises funding from a variety of sources, including
customer deposits and wholesale funding in Australia and offshore
markets to meet its funding obligations and to maintain or growits business generally. In times of liquidity stress, if there is damage
to market confidence in the Group or if funding inside or outsideof Australia is not available or constrained, the Group’s ability toaccess sources of funding and liquidity may be constrained andit will be exposed to liquidity risk. In any such cases, the Groupmay be forced to seek alternative funding. The availability of suchalternative funding, and the terms on which it may be available,
will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market
conditions and the Group’s credit ratings (which are strongly
influenced by Australia’s sovereign credit rating). Even if available,
the cost of these funding alternatives may be more expensive or on
unfavourable terms, which could adversely affect the Group’s financial
performance, liquidity, capital resources and financial condition.
Since the advent of the global financial crisis in 2007, developmentsin the United States, European and Chinese markets have adversely
affected the liquidity in global capital markets and increased funding
costs compared with the period immediately preceding the global
financial crisis.
More recently, the provision of significant amounts of liquidity bymajor central banks globally has helped mitigate near term liquidity
concerns, although no assurance can be given that such liquidity
concerns will not return, particularly when the extraordinary liquidity
is withdrawn by central banks. Future deterioration in market
conditions may limit the Group’s ability to replace maturing liabilities
and access funding in a timely and cost-effective manner necessary
to fund and grow the Group’s businesses.
8. Regulatory changes or a failure to comply with regulatory
standards, law or policies may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations or financial condition
As a financial institution, the Group is subject to detailed laws andregulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates or obtains
funding, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Europe
and Asia Pacific. The Group is also supervised by a number of different
regulatory and supervisory authorities.

Compliance risk arises from these legal, regulatory and internal
compliance requirements. If the Group, or an employee of the Group,
fails to comply, the Group may be subject to fines, penalties or
restrictions on its ability to do business and it may lose customer
confidence and business, which could have a material adverse impact
on the Group. In Australia, an example of the broad administrative
power available to regulatory authorities is the power available to
APRA under the Banking Act in certain circumstances to investigate
the Group’s affairs and/or issue a direction to the Group (suchas direction to comply with a prudential requirement, to conduct
an audit, to remove a director, executive officer or employee or not
to undertake a transaction). Other regulators also have the power
to investigate the Group. For further information see note 41(Contingent Liabilities) of the 2016 Financial Statements.
Recent public scrutiny of banking culture has also led to a proposalby the Opposition Australian Labor Party for a Royal Commission
to investigate Australian banks. Regulatory investigations, fines,
penalties or regulator imposed conditions could adversely affect
the Group’s business, reputation, prospects, financial performanceor financial condition.
As with other financial services providers, the Group faces increasing
supervision and regulation in most of the jurisdictions in which theGroup operates or obtains funding, particularly in the areas offunding, liquidity, product design and pricing, capital adequacy,
conduct and prudential regulation, cyber-security, anti-bribery andcorruption, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing
and trade sanctions.
The Group has fully implemented the requirements of the BaselCommittee on Banking Supervision’s ('BCBS') and APRA’s capitalreform packages (and APRA’s implementation thereof ), known
as Basel 3, aimed at implementing Basel 3 and strengthening theresilience of the banking and insurance sectors. Details of thesereforms are contained in APRA’s prudential standards implementing
Basel 3 capital reforms, which took effect from 1 January 2013.
In addition to the above, Basel 3 requirements also include liquidity
reforms. Consistent therewith, APRA requires the Group to comply with
the Liquidity Coverage Ratio ('LCR') requirements with effect from
1 January 2015 and is currently consulting on the implementationof the Net Stable Funding Ratio ('NSFR') requirements, which are
expected to be implemented by 1 January 2018. Certain regulators
in jurisdictions where the Group has a presence have also either
implemented or are in the process of implementing Basel 3 andequivalent reforms.
Separately, since 2014, the BCBS has also released a number ofconsultation documents as part of its reforms aimed at simplifying
the measurement of risk-weighted assets and reducing their variability
across banks and jurisdictions. Consultation and finalisation of thesereforms are current and on-going. Any impacts on the Group resulting
from these reforms cannot be determined as final calibration is still to
be finalised by the BCBS and they are also subject to the form of these
proposals that APRA will implement in Australia.
In addition, there have also been a series of other regulatory releases
from authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Group
operates or obtains funding proposing significant regulatory change
for financial institutions. This includes new accounting and reporting
standards, or implementation of regulatory changes including global
OTC derivatives reforms, the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive ('MiFID') and the United States Dodd-Frank legislation,
including the Volcker Rule promulgated thereunder.

The Group is responsible for ensuring that it complies with allapplicable legal and regulatory requirements (including accounting
standards) and industry codes of practice in the jurisdictions in which
it operates or obtains funding.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES181

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

The Australian Government conducted a comprehensive inquiry into
Australia’s financial system and released the Financial Systems Inquiry('FSI') Final Report on 7 December 2014. The contents of the FSI Final
Report are wide-ranging. Key recommendations from the FSI Final
Report that may have an impact on regulatory capital levels include:}} setting capital standards ensuring that capital ratios of ADI’s'unquestionably strong';}} raising the average internal ratings-based ('IRB') mortgage risk
weight to narrow the difference between average mortgage
risk weights for ADIs, which use IRB models, and those that use
standardised risk weights in order to increase competition in
mortgage lending;}} implementing a framework for minimum loss absorption
and recapitalisation capacity in line with emerging
international practice;}} developing a common reporting template that improves thetransparency and comparability of capital ratios of ADIs; and}} introducing a Leverage Ratio that acts as a backstop to ADIs’
risk-based capital requirements, in line with Basel 3.
APRA supported the FSI’s recommendation that the capital ratios
of ADIs should be unquestionably strong and, with effect from July
2016, increased the capital requirements for Australian residential
mortgage exposures for ADIs accredited to use the IRB approachto credit risk (including ANZ).
Apart from the July 2015 announcements, APRA has not made any of
the other key recommendations in the FSI Final Report to date.
Therefore, the final outcome of the FSI, including any impacts and thetiming of these impacts on ANZ, remain uncertain. In addition, there
are several ongoing Government enquiries and proposals for new
enquiries which may affect ANZ and its business, the impact of whichis indeterminate at this stage.
APRA is currently undertaking several open consultations, including
those related to ADI Counterparty Credit Risk and international
exposures reporting requirements as well as other areas of focus.
Until these are finalised, the impact to the Group is unknown.
Regulation is becoming increasingly extensive and complex. Someareas of potential regulatory change involve multiple jurisdictions
seeking to adopt a coordinated approach. This may result in conflicts
with specific requirements of the jurisdictions in which the Group
operates and, in addition, such changes may be inconsistently
introduced across jurisdictions. Changes may also occur in theoversight approach of regulators. It is possible for example thatgovernments in jurisdictions in which the Group operates or obtains
funding might revise their application of existing regulatory policies
that apply to, or impact, the Group’s business, including for reasons
relating to national interest and systemic stability.
Regulatory changes and the timing of their introduction continue to
evolve. The nature and impact of future changes are not predictable
and are beyond the Group’s control. Regulatory change may impact
the Group in a range of ways, such as by requiring the Group tochange its business mix, incur additional costs as a result of increased
management attention, raise additional amounts of higher-quality
capital (such as ordinary shares, Additional Tier 1 capital or Tier 2
capital instruments) or retain capital (through lower dividends), andhold significant levels of additional liquid assets and undertake
further lengthening of the funding base. Further examples of ways inwhich regulatory change may impact the Group include: limiting thetypes, amount and composition of financial services and products theGroup can offer, limiting the fees and interest that the Group may

182

charge, increasing the ability of other banks or of non-banks to offer
competing financial services or products and changes to accounting
standards, taxation laws and prudential regulatory requirements.
Regulatory change could adversely affect one or more of the Group’sbusinesses, restrict its flexibility, require it to incur substantial costs
and impact the profitability of one or more business lines. Any suchcosts or restrictions could adversely affect the Group’s business,
prospects, financial performance or financial condition.
9. The Group is exposed to the risk of receiving significant
regulatory fines and sanctions in the event of breachesof regulation and law relating to anti-money laundering,counter-terrorism financing and sanctions
Anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions
compliance have been the subject of increasing regulatory change
and enforcement in recent years. The increasingly complicatedenvironment in which the Group operates across the Asia Pacificregion has heightened these operational and compliance risks.
Furthermore, the upward trend in compliance breaches by global
banks and the related fines and settlement sums means that theserisks continue to be an area of focus for the Group.
The risk of non-compliance with anti-money laundering, counterterrorist financing and sanction laws remains high given the scaleand complexity of the Group. A failure to operate a robust program
to combat money laundering, bribery and terrorist financing or toensure compliance with economic sanctions could have serious legal
and reputational consequences for the Group and its employees.
Consequences can include fines, criminal and civil penalties, civil
claims, reputational harm and limitations on doing business in certain
jurisdictions. The Group’s foreign operations may place the Group
under increased scrutiny by regulatory authorities, and may increase
the risk of a member of the Group breaching applicable rules,
regulations or laws.
10. The Group may experience challenges in managing its
capital base, which could give rise to greater volatility
in capital ratios
The Group’s capital base is critical to the management of its
businesses and access to funding. Prudential regulators of the Group
include, but are not limited to, APRA, RBNZ and various regulators in
the Asia Pacific, U.S. and U.K. The Group is required by its primary
regulator, APRA, to maintain adequate regulatory capital.
Under current regulatory requirements, risk-weighted assets andexpected loan losses increase as a counterparty’s risk grade worsens.
These additional regulatory capital requirements compound any
reduction in capital resulting from lower profits in times of stress.
As a result, greater volatility in capital ratios may arise and may
require the Group to raise additional capital. There can be no
certainty that any additional capital required would be available
or could be raised on reasonable terms.
The Group’s capital ratios may be affected by a number of factors,
such as (i) lower earnings (including lower dividends from its
deconsolidated subsidiaries such as those in the insurance and funds
management businesses as well as from its investment in associates),(ii) increased asset growth, (iii) changes in the value of the Australian
Dollar against other currencies in which the Group operates(particularly the New Zealand Dollar and United States Dollar) that
impact risk weighted assets or the foreign currency translation
reserve and (iv) changes in business strategy (including acquisitions,divestments and investments or an increase in capitalintensive businesses).

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

APRA’s Prudential Standards implementing Basel 3 are now in effect.
Certain other regulators have either implemented or are in theprocess of implementing regulations, including Basel 3, which seek
to strengthen, among other things, the liquidity and capitalrequirements of banks, funds management entities and insurance
entities, though there can be no assurance that these regulations will
have their intended effect. Some of these regulations, together withany risks arising from any regulatory changes (including those arisingfrom the requirements of the BCBS or the Australian Government’s
response to the FSI), are described in risk factor 8 'Regulatory changes
or a failure to comply with regulatory standards, law or policies may
adversely affect the Group’s business, operations or
financial condition'.
11. The Group is exposed to credit risk, which may adversely
affect its business, operations and financial condition
As a financial institution, the Group is exposed to the risks associatedwith extending credit to other parties. Less favourable business or
economic conditions, whether generally or in a specific industry sector
or geographic region, or natural disasters, could cause customers or
counterparties to fail to meet their obligations in accordance withagreed terms.
For example, the Group’s customers and counterparties in:}} the Australian natural resources sector, which is particularly
exposed to any prolonged slowdown in the Chinese economy andwould be materially and adversely impacted by the current and any
future decline in natural resource prices; and}} the dairy industry in Australia and New Zealand, which isparticularly exposed to excess milk production from otherdeveloped countries being sold into traditional markets, could bematerially and adversely impacted by the current and any future
decline in commodity prices.
Also, the Group’s customers and counterparties may be adversely
impacted by more expensive imports due to the reduced strengthof the Australian and New Zealand dollars relative to other currencies.
In addition, in assessing whether to extend credit or enter into othertransactions with customers and/or counterparties, the Group relies
on information provided by or on behalf of customers and/or
counterparties, including financial statements and other financial
information. The Group may also rely on representations of customers
and independent consultants as to the accuracy and completeness ofthat information. The Group’s financial performance could be
negatively impacted to the extent that it relies on information that is
inaccurate or materially misleading.
The Group holds provisions for credit impairment. The amount ofthese provisions is determined by assessing the extent of impairment
inherent within the current lending portfolio, based on current
information. This process, which is critical to the Group’s financial
condition and results, requires subjective and complex judgements,
including forecasts of how current and future economic conditions
might impair the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. However,if the information upon which the assessment is made proves to beinaccurate or if the Group fails to analyse the information correctly,
the provisions made for credit impairment may be insufficient, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business,
operations and financial condition.

12. The Group is exposed to the risk that its credit ratings couldchange, which could adversely affect its ability to raise
capital and wholesale funding and constrain the volumeof new lending, which may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition
The Group’s credit ratings have a significant impact on both its access
to, and cost of, capital and wholesale funding. Credit ratings may be
withdrawn, qualified, revised or suspended by credit rating agencies
at any time. The methodologies by which they are determined may
also be revised in response to legal or regulatory changes, market
developments or for any other reason. On 7 July 2016, ANZ
announced that Standard & Poor’s decision to revise the outlook
on the Commonwealth of Australia to ratings watch negative, resulting
in a change in the credit rating outlook of ANZ and its strategicallyimportant entities, along with other major Australian banks, fromstable to negative.
On 19 August 2016, ANZ announced that Moody’s decision to revise
Australia’s macro profile resulted in a change in the outlook for major
Australian banks, including ANZ, from stable to negative. The Group’s
credit ratings could be revised at any time in response to a change inthe credit rating of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Credit ratings are not a recommendation by the relevant rating
agency to invest in securities offered by the Group.
In addition, the ratings of individual securities (including, but notlimited to, certain Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital securities andcovered bonds) issued by the Group (and other banks globally)
could be impacted from time to time by changes in the regulatory
requirements for those instruments as well as the ratings
methodologies used by rating agencies.
Any future downgrade or potential downgrade to the Group’s credit
rating may reduce access to capital and wholesale debt markets,
which could lead to an increase in funding costs, constraining thevolume of new lending and affect the willingness of counterparties
to transact with the Group, which may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition.
13. The Group is exposed to market risk, which may adversely
affect its business, operations and financial condition
Market risk is the potential of loss arising from adverse changes
in interest rates, currency exchange rates, credit spreads, or fromfluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices. For purposes offinancial risk management, the Group differentiates between tradedand non-traded market risks. Traded market risks principally arise
from the Group’s trading operations in interest rates, foreignexchange, commodities and securities. The non-traded market risk
is predominantly interest rate risk in the banking book. Other
non-traded markets risks include transactional and structural foreignexchange risk arising from capital investments in offshore operations,market risk arising from the insurance business, non-traded equity
risk and lease residual value risk. For a description of these specificrisks, see note 20 to the 2016 Financial Statements.
14. Changes in exchange rates may adversely affect theGroup’s business, operations and financial condition
As the Group conducts business in several different currencies, its
businesses may be affected by a change in currency exchange rates.
Additionally, as the Group’s annual and interim reports are preparedand stated in Australian Dollars, any appreciation in the Australian
Dollar against other currencies in which the Group earns revenues(particularly to the New Zealand Dollar and United States Dollar)
may adversely affect the reported earnings.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES183

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

The Group has put in place hedges to partially mitigate the impactof currency changes, but there can be no assurance that the Group’s
hedges will be sufficient or effective, and any further appreciation
could have an adverse impact upon the Group’s earnings.
15. The Group is exposed to operational risk which
may adversely affect its business, operations andfinancial condition
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and systems or from external events.
This definition includes legal risk, and the risk of loss of reputation
or damage arising from inadequate or failed internal processes,
people and systems, but excludes strategic risk.
Loss from operational risk events could adversely affect the Group’s
financial results. Such losses can include fines, penalties, loss or theftof funds or assets, legal costs, customer compensation, loss ofshareholder value, reputation loss, loss of life or injury to people,
and loss of property and/or information.
Operational risk is typically classified into the risk event type
categories to measure and compare risks on a consistent basis.
Examples of operational risk events according to category
are as follows:}} Internal Fraud: is associated with ANZ employees acting outside
their normal employment conditions/procedures to create afinancial advantage for themselves or others;}} External Fraud: fraudulent acts or attempts which originate
from outside the Group, more commonly associated with digitalbanking, lending, and cards products. Specific threats include
ATM skimming, malware and phishing attacks and fraudulent
applications, where financial advantage is obtained;}} Employment Practices and Workplace Safety: employee relations,diversity and discrimination, and health and safety risks to theGroup’s employees;}} Clients, Products and Business Practices: risk of market
manipulation, product defects, incorrect advice, money launderingand misuse or unauthorised disclosure of customer information;}} Technology: the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
information technology;}} Business Disruption (including systems failures): risk that theGroup’s banking operating systems are disrupted or fail;}} Damage to physical assets: risk that a natural disaster or terrorist or
vandalism attack damages the Group’s buildings or property; and}} Execution, Delivery and Process Management: is associated withlosses resulting from, among other things, process errors madeby ANZ employees caused by inadequate or poorly designed
internal processes, or the poor execution of standard processes,
vendor, supplier or outsource provider errors or failed mandatory
reporting errors.
Direct or indirect losses that occur as a result of operational failures,
breakdowns, omissions or unplanned events could adversely affect
the Group’s financial results.
16. The Group is exposed to reputational risk, which
may adversely affect its business, operations andfinancial condition
Reputational risk may arise as a result of an external event or
the Group’s own actions, and adversely affect perceptions about
the Group held by the public (including the Group’s customers),
shareholders, investors, regulators or rating agencies. The impactof a risk event on the Group’s reputation may exceed any direct
cost of the risk event itself and may adversely impact the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition.
184

Damage to the Group’s reputation may also have wide-ranging
impacts, including adverse effects on the Group’s profitability,
capacity and cost of sourcing funding, increased regulatory scrutiny
and availability of new business opportunities. The Group’s ability
to attract and retain customers could also be adversely affected
if the Group’s reputation is damaged, which could adversely affect
the Group’s business prospects, financial performance or
financial condition.
17. The Group may be exposed to conduct-related risks relating
to the provision of advice, recommendations or guidance
about financial products and services, or behaviours which
do not appropriately consider the interests of consumers,
the integrity of financial markets and the expectationsof the community, in the course of its business activities
Such risks can result from:}} the provision of unsuitable or inappropriate advice (eg.,commensurate with a customer’s objectives and appetite for risk);}} the representation of, or disclosure about, a product or service
which is inaccurate, or does not provide adequate information
about risks and benefits to customers;}} the use of information asymmetry to the detriment of customers;}} a failure to deliver product features and benefits in accordance withterms, disclosures, recommendations and/or advice;}} a failure to appropriately avoid or manage conflicts of interest;}} sales and/or promotion processes (including incentives andremuneration for staff engaged in promotion, sales and/or theprovision of advice);}} the provision of credit, outside of ANZ policies and standards; and}} trading activities in financial markets, outside of ANZ policies
and standards.
The Group is regulated under various legislative regimes in the
countries in which it operates that provide for customer protection
in relation to advisory, marketing and sales practices. These may
include, but are not limited to, appropriate management of conflictsof interest, appropriate accreditation standards for staff authorised
to provide advice about financial products and services, disclosure
standards, standards for ensuring adequate assessment of client/product suitability, quality assurance activities, adequate record
keeping, and procedures for the management of complaints
and disputes.
Inappropriate advice about financial products and services may resultin material litigation (and associated financial costs) and together withthe failure to avoid or manage conflicts of interest, may expose theGroup to regulatory actions, restrictions or conditions on banking
licences and/or reputational consequences.
18. Disruption of information technology systems or failure
to successfully implement new technology systems
could significantly interrupt the Group’s business,
which may adversely affect its business, operations
and financial condition
The Group and its service offerings (including digital banking)are highly dependent on information systems applications andtechnology. Therefore, there is a risk that these information systems
applications and technology, or the services the Group uses oris dependent upon, might fail, including because of unauthorised
access or use.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

Most of the Group’s daily operations are computer-based andinformation systems applications and technology are essential tomaintaining effective communications with customers. The Group isalso conscious that threats to information systems applications andtechnology are continuously evolving and that cyber threats and riskof attacks are increasing. The Group may not be able to anticipate or
implement effective measures to prevent or minimise disruptions
that may be caused by all cyber threats because the techniques used
can be highly sophisticated and those perpetuating the attacks may
be well resourced. The exposure to systems risks includes thecomplete or partial failure of information technology systems or data
centre infrastructure, the inadequacy of internal and third-party
information technology systems due to, among other things, failure
to keep pace with industry developments and the capacity of theexisting systems to effectively accommodate growth, prevent
unauthorised access and integrate existing and future acquisitions
and alliances.
To manage these risks, the Group has disaster recovery andinformation technology governance in place. However, there canbe no guarantee that the steps the Group is taking in this regard will
be effective and any failure of these systems could result in businessinterruption, customer dissatisfaction, legal or regulatory breaches
and liability and ultimately loss of customers, financial compensation,
damage to reputation and/or a weakening of the Group’s competitive
position, which could adversely impact the Group’s business and havea material adverse effect on the Group’s financial conditionand operations.
In addition, the Group has an ongoing need to update andimplement new information systems applications and technology,
in part to assist it to satisfy regulatory demands, ensure information
security, enhance digital banking services for the Group’s customers
and integrate the various segments of its business. The Group may
not implement these projects effectively or execute them efficiently,
which could lead to increased project costs, delays in the ability
to comply with regulatory requirements, failure of the Group’s
information security controls or a decrease in the Group’s ability
to service its customers. ANZ New Zealand relies on ANZ to provide
a number of information technology systems, and any failure of
ANZ’s systems could directly affect ANZ New Zealand.
19. The Group is exposed to risks associated with information
security including cyber-attacks, which may adversely affectits financial results and reputation
Information security means protecting information and information
systems from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption,
modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. As a bank,the Group handles a considerable amount of personal andconfidential information about its customers and its own internal
operations, including in Australia, New Zealand and India. ANZ
operates in 33 countries and the risks to our systems are inherently
higher in certain countries where, for example, political threatsor targeted cyber-attacks by terrorist or criminal organisations are
greater. The Group employs a team of information security experts
who are responsible for the development and implementation of
the Group’s Information Security Policy. The Group also uses third
parties to process and manage information on its behalf, and any
failure by such third parties could adversely affect the Group’sbusiness. The Group is conscious that threats to information systems
are continuously evolving and that cyber threats, including but
not limited to, cyber compromise, advanced persistent threats,
distributed denial of service, malware and ransomware attacks, andthe risk of such attacks are increasing, and as such the Group may beunable to develop policies and procedures to adequately address or
mitigate such risks. Accordingly, information about the Group and/or

our clients may be inadvertently accessed, inappropriately distributedor illegally accessed or stolen. The Group may not be able toanticipate or to implement effective measures to prevent or minimise
damage that may be caused by all information security threats
because the techniques used can be highly sophisticated and those
perpetuating the attacks may be well resourced. Any unauthorised
access of the Group’s information systems or unauthorised use of its
confidential information could potentially result in disruption of theGroup’s operations, breaches of privacy laws, regulatory sanctions,
legal action, and claims for compensation or erosion to the Group’s
competitive market position, which could adversely affect theGroup’s financial results and reputation.
20. Unexpected changes to the Group’s license to operate in any
jurisdiction may adversely affect its business, operations andfinancial condition
The Group is licensed to operate in various countries, states andterritories. Unexpected changes in the conditions of the licences
to operate by governments, administrations or regulatory agencies
which prohibit or restrict the Group from trading in a manner thatwas previously permitted may adversely impact the Group’s business,
operations and financial condition.
21. An increase in the failure of third parties to honour theircommitments in connection with the Group’s trading,lending, derivatives and other activities may adversely
affect its business, operations and financial condition
The Group is exposed to the potential risk of credit-related losses
that can occur as a result of a counterparty being unable or unwillingto honour its contractual obligations. As with any financial services
organisation, the Group assumes counterparty risk in connection
with its lending, trading, derivatives, insurance and other businesses
where it relies on the ability of a third party (including reinsurers)
to satisfy its financial obligations to the Group on a timely basis. The
Group is also subject to the risk that its rights against third parties
may not be enforceable in certain circumstances.
The risk of credit-related losses may also be increased by a numberof factors, including deterioration in the financial condition of theeconomy, a sustained high level of unemployment, a deteriorationof the financial condition of the Group’s counterparties, a reductionin the value of assets the Group holds as collateral, and a reductionin the market value of the counterparty instruments and obligations
it holds.
The Group is directly and indirectly exposed to the natural
resources sector, including contractors and related industries.
Lower commodity prices, mining activity, demand for resources, or
corporate investment in the natural resources sector may adversely
affect the amount of new lending the Group is able to write, or leadto an increase in lending losses from this sector. The ongoing low oil
prices have resulted in reduced investment and increased asset write
downs with challenges migrating through the energy supply chain.
Upstream exploration and production firms and related services
operators are currently the most directly exposed as new project
investment is wound back and operations rationalised. Services tomining customers are also subject to heightened oversight given
the cautious outlook for the services sector. This industry-specificrevenue decline may lead to a broader regional economic downturnwith a long recovery period.
Credit losses can and have resulted in financial services organisations
realising significant losses and in some cases failing altogether.
Should material unexpected credit losses occur to the Group’s credit
exposures, it could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business,
operations and financial condition.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES185PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

22. The unexpected loss of key staff or inadequate managementof human resources may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition
The Group’s ability to attract and retain suitably qualified and skilledemployees is an important factor in achieving its strategic objectives.
The Chief Executive Officer and the management team of the Chief
Executive Officer have skills and reputation that are critical to setting
the strategic direction, successful management and growth of theGroup, and whose unexpected loss due to resignation, retirement,
death or illness may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations
and financial condition. If the Group had difficulty retaining or
attracting highly qualified people for important roles, particularly
in times of strategic change, the Group’s business, operations andfinancial condition could be adversely affected.
23. The Group may be exposed to the impact of future climatechange, geological events, plant, animal and humandiseases, and other extrinsic events which may adversely
affect its business, operations and financial condition
The Group and its customers are exposed to climate related events,
including climate change. These events include severe storms,
drought, fires, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and rising sea levels. The
Group and its customers may also be exposed to other events suchas geological events (including volcanic seismic activity or tsunamis),plant, animal and human diseases or a pandemic.
Depending on their severity, events such as these may temporarily
interrupt or restrict the provision of some local or Group services, andmay also adversely affect the Group’s financial condition or collateralposition in relation to credit facilities extended to customers,
which may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations andfinancial condition.
24. The Group is exposed to insurance risk, which may adversely
affect its business, operations and financial condition
Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to unexpected changes incurrent and future insurance claim rates. In the Group’s life insurance
business, insurance risk arises primarily through mortality (death)and morbidity (illness and injury) risks being greater than expected
and, in the case of annuity business, should annuitants live longer
than expected. In August 2015, ANZ ceased to issue home, car andtravel insurance and became a distributor only of these products.
Existing business has been transitioned to QBE Insurance Group
Limited on renewal. The only general insurance risk insured now
is a small amount of involuntary unemployment benefits as partof consumer credit insurance sold in Australia. The Group has
exposure to insurance risk in both its life insurance and generalinsurance business, which may adversely affect its businesses,
operations and financial condition.
25. The Group is exposed to increased compliance costs andthe risk of penalties and regulatory scrutiny with respect
to the significant obligations imposed by global tax
reporting regimes which are still evolving
The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ('FATCA') requires
non-U.S. banks and other financial institutions to undertake specificcustomer due diligence and provide information on account holders
who are U.S. citizens or tax residents to the United States Federal
tax authority, the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') either directlyor via local tax authorities. If the required customer due diligenceand provision of account holder information is not undertaken andprovided in a manner and form meeting the applicable requirements,
the Group and/or persons owning assets in accounts with Group
members may be subjected to a 30 percent withholding tax oncertain amounts. While such withholding tax may currently apply only186

to certain payments derived from sources within the United States(and, beginning on January 1, 2019, certain gross proceeds from thedisposition of assets that can give rise to such U.S. source payments),
no such withholding tax will be imposed on any payments derived
from sources outside the United States that are made prior to
January 1, 2019, at the earliest.
}} In addition to FATCA, the U.S. may require the Group in certain
circumstances to provide certain information to U.S. payers(withholding agents, custodians, etc.) and the Group may face
adverse consequences in case it does not provide such informationin compliance with the applicable rules and regulations.
}} The OECD’s Common Reporting Standard ('CRS') provides
for the automatic exchange of (financial account) information('AEOI') in tax matters. Over 90 jurisdictions have committed
to implement the CRS in 2016 or 2017, with the first exchange
of information to take place in 2017 or 2018. Countries witha start date of 1 January 2016 include Cayman Islands, France,
Germany, India, the United Kingdom and South Korea. Australia
has legislated for the CRS to apply from July 1, 2017 (with thegovernment to government exchange of information to take placeby September 2018). Australian financial institutions that do not
fully comply with all the requirements of the CRS (as modified by
the implementing legislation), will be subject to administrative
penalties. The New Zealand Government has released draft
legislation implementing the CRS with similar timelines asAustralia. CRS requirements, though generally similar to FATCA,
have significant differences and a higher standard of compliancein many aspects, including penalties for non-collection ofprescribed customer information.
}} In line with other global financial institutions, ANZ has madeand is expected to make significant investments in order tocomply with, in all the countries that it operates in, the extensive
requirements of FATCA, the CRS and the various other in-country
tax reporting initiatives.
26. The Group may experience changes in the valuation of someof its assets and liabilities that may have a material adverse
effect on its earnings and/or equity
Under AASs, the Group recognises the following instruments at fairvalue with changes in fair value recognised in earnings or equity:}} derivative instruments, including in the case of fair value hedging,
the fair value adjustment on the underlying hedged exposure withchanges in fair value recognised in earnings with the exceptionof derivatives designated in qualifying cash flow or net investment
hedges where the change is recognised in equity and released
to earnings together with the underlying hedged exposure;}} assets and liabilities held for trading;}} available-for-sale assets with changes in fair value recognisedin equity unless the asset is impaired, in which case, the decline
in fair value is recognised in earnings; and}} assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss
with changes recognised in earnings with the exception of changes
in fair value attributable to the own credit component of liabilities
that is recognised in equity.
Generally, in order to establish the fair value of these instruments,
the Group relies on quoted market prices or, where the market fora financial instrument is not sufficiently active, fair values are basedon present value estimates or other accepted valuation techniques
which incorporate the impact of factors that would influence thefair value as determined by a market participant. The fair valueof these instruments is impacted by changes in market prices
or valuation inputs which could have a material adverse effecton the Group’s earnings.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2016

In addition, the Group may be exposed to a reduction in thevalue of non-lending related assets as a result of impairments
loss which is recognised in earnings. The Group is required to assess
the recoverability of the goodwill balances at least annually andother non-financial assets including premises and equipment,
investment in associates, capitalised software and other intangible
assets (including acquired portfolio of insurance and investment
business and deferred acquisition costs) where there are indicatorsof impairment.
For the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the goodwill
balances, the Group uses either a discounted cash flow or a multipleof earnings calculation. Changes in the assumptions upon which
the calculation is based, together with expected changes in future
cash flows, could materially impact this assessment, resulting in thepotential write-off of a part or all of the goodwill balances.
In respect of other non-financial assets, in the event that an asset
is no longer in use, or that the cash flows generated by the asset
do not support the carrying value, impairment may be recorded.
27. Changes to accounting policies may adversely affect
the Group’s financial position or performance}} The accounting policies and methods that the Group applies arefundamental to how it records and reports its financial position
and results of operations. Management must exercise judgment
in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies andmethods so that they not only comply with generally accepted
accounting principles but they also reflect the most appropriatemanner in which to record and report on the Group’s financial
position and results of operations. However, these accounting
policies may be applied inaccurately, resulting in a misstatementof the Group’s financial position and results of operations. In
addition, the application of new or revised generally accepted
accounting principles could have a material adverse effecton the Group’s financial position and results of operations.
}} In some cases, management must select an accounting policy or
method from two or more alternatives, any of which might comply
with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to theGroup and be reasonable under the circumstances, yet might result
in reporting materially different outcomes than would have beenreported under another alternative.
28. Litigation and contingent liabilities may adversely affect
the Group’s business, operations and financial condition
From time to time, the Group may be subject to material litigation,
regulatory actions, legal or arbitration proceedings and othercontingent liabilities which may adversely affect the Group’sbusiness, operations and financial condition.
The Group had contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2016 in respectof the matters outlined in note 41 to the 2016 Financial Statements.
Note 41 includes, among other things, descriptions of:}} bank fees litigation;}} proceedings in relation to Bank Bill Swap Rate;}} regulator investigations into foreign exchange trading; and}} security recovery actions.

In recent years there have been significant increases in the natureand scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, enforcement
actions (whether by court action or otherwise) and the quantumof fines issued by regulators, particularly against financial institutions
both in Australia and globally. The nature of these investigations
and reviews can be wide ranging and, for example, currently include
a range of matters including responsible lending practices, wealthadvice and product suitability, conduct in financial markets andcapital market transactions. During the year, ANZ has received
various notices and requests for information from its regulators aspart of both industry-wide and ANZ-specific reviews. The outcomes
and total costs associated with such reviews remain uncertain.
There is a risk that contingent liabilities may be larger than anticipatedor that additional litigation, regulatory actions, legal or arbitration
proceedings or other contingent liabilities may arise.
There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings(including any such proceedings which are pending or threatenedof which ANZ is aware) that have arisen since 30 September 2016 up
to the date of this 2016 Annual Report which may have a significant
effect on the financial position or profitability of ANZ and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole.
29. The Group regularly considers acquisition and divestment
opportunities, and there is a risk that the Group mayundertake an acquisition or divestment that could resultin a material adverse effect on its business, operations
and financial condition
The Group regularly examines a range of corporate opportunities,
including material acquisitions and disposals, with a view todetermining whether those opportunities will enhance the Group’s
strategic position and financial performance.
There can be no assurance that any acquisition (or divestment)
would have the anticipated positive results, including results relating
to the total cost of integration (or separation), the time required tocomplete the integration (or separation), the amount of longer-term
cost savings, the overall performance of the combined (or remaining)
entity, or an improved price for the Group’s securities. The Group’s
operating performance, risk profile and capital structure may beaffected by these corporate opportunities and there is a risk that theGroup’s credit ratings may be placed on credit watch or downgraded
if these opportunities are pursued.
Integration (or separation) of an acquired (or divested) businesscan be complex and costly, sometimes including combining (orseparating) relevant accounting and data processing systems, andmanagement controls, as well as managing relevant relationships
with employees, customers, regulators, counterparties, suppliers
and other business partners. Integration (or separation) efforts could
create inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies,
as well as diverting management attention and resources. This could
adversely affect the Group’s ability to conduct its business successfully
and impact the Group’s operations or results. Additionally, there canbe no assurance that employees, customers, counterparties, suppliers
and other business partners of newly acquired (or retained) businesses
will remain post-acquisition (or post-divestment), and the loss of
employees, customers, counterparties, suppliers and other business
partners could adversely affect the Group’s operations or results.

2. Explanation of adjustments between
statutory profit and cash profit
NON-IFRS INFORMATIONThe Group provides additional measures of performance which
are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting
standards. The guidance provided in Australian Securities andInvestments Commission Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed
when presenting this information.
ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN STATUTORY PROFITAND CASH PROFIT
Cash profit represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of theongoing business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess
Group and Divisional performance against prior periods and against
peer institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core
items from statutory profit (refer to Glossary for further details). The
adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory
profit which is subject to audit within the context of the Groupstatutory audit opinion. Cash profit is not subject to review or audit
by the external auditor, however, the external auditor has informed
the Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determinedon a consistent basis across each year presented.
Refer to page 18 for a summary of the profit after tax impactof adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit.

188

ANZ shares held by the Group in Wealth Australia are deemed tobe Treasury shares for accounting purposes. Dividends and realised
and unrealised gains and losses from these shares are reversed
as these are not permitted to be recognised as income for statutory
reporting purposes. In deriving cash profit, these earnings areincluded to ensure there is no asymmetrical impact on the Group’s
profits because the Treasury shares are held to support policy
liabilities which are revalued through the Income Statement.
Accordingly, the full year gain of $44 million after tax ($46 million
pre-tax) reversed for statutory accounting purposes has been
added back to cash profit.
REVALUATION OF POLICY LIABILITIESWhen calculating policy liabilities, the projected future cash flows
on insurance contracts are discounted to reflect the present valueof the obligation, with the impact of changes in the market discountrate each period being reflected in the income statement. ANZ
includes the impact on the remeasurement of the insurance contract
attributable to changes in the market discount rates as an adjustment
to statutory profit to remove the volatility attributable to changes
in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of theinsurance contract.
ECONOMIC HEDGES AND REVENUE HEDGESThe Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate
and foreign exchange risk. The application of 'AASB 139: Financial
Instruments – Recognition and Measurement' results in fair value
gains and losses being recognised within the income statement. ANZ
removes the mark-to-market adjustments from cash profit since theprofit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will reverse overtime to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged
item as part of cash profit. This includes gains and losses arising fromapproved classes of derivatives not designated in accounting hedge
relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges,
including hedges of larger foreign exchange denominated revenue
and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated),
as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.
Economic hedging comprises:}} Funding related swaps (primarily cross currency interest rate
swaps) that are used to convert the proceeds of foreign currency
debt issuances into floating rate Australian Dollar and New Zealand
Dollar debt. As these swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting,movements in the fair values are recorded in the income statement.
The main drivers of these fair values are currency basis spreads andthe Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar fluctuation against
other major funding currencies.
}} Economic hedges of select structured finance and specialised
leasing transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The main drivers of these fair value adjustments are movementsin the Australian and New Zealand term structure of interest rates.
}} Ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedge relationships.

CREDIT RISK ON IMPAIRED DERIVATIVES(NIL PROFIT AFTER TAX IMPACT)The charge to income for derivative credit valuation adjustments of$27 million on defaulted and impaired derivative exposures has been
reclassified to cash credit impairment charges (2015: $26 million).
The reclassification has been made to reflect the manner in which
the defaulted and impaired derivatives are managed.
POLICYHOLDERS TAX GROSS UP(NIL PROFIT AFTER TAX IMPACT)

Being derivatives, both the sold protection and purchased
protection are measured at fair value and marked-to-model. Prior
to the commencement of the global financial crisis, movements
in valuations of these positions were not significant and largely
offset each other. Following the onset of the global financial crisis,
the purchased protection has provided only a partial offset against
movements in valuation of the sold protection because:}} one of the counterparties to the purchased protection defaulted
and many of the remaining counterparties were downgraded; and}} the derivative CVA applied to the counterparties to thepurchased protection is impacted by changes relating to their
credit worthiness.
ANZ is monitoring this portfolio with a view to reducing theexposures via termination and restructuring of both the purchased
and sold protection if and when ANZ deems it cost effective relative
to the perceived risk associated with a specific trade or counterparty.
As at 30 September 2016, ANZ’s remaining exposure is against
two financial guarantors. The bought and sold notional protection
are by nature largely offsetting, with the notional amount on theoutstanding bought CDSs acquired to offset the outstanding sold
CDSs at 30 September 2016 both amount to $0.7 billion (2015:$0.7 billion). The profit and loss impact of credit risk on the bought
CDSs is driven by market movements in credit spreads and AUD/USD
and NZD/USD rates.
The (gain)/loss on structured credit intermediation trades is included
as an adjustment to cash profit as it relates to a legacy business where,
unless terminated early, the fair value movements are expected toreverse to zero in future periods.

ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation tradeswith US financial guarantors from 2004 to 2007. The underlying
structures involve credit default swaps (CDSs) over synthetic
collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), portfolios of external
collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) or specific bonds/floating
rate notes (FRNs). ANZ sold protection using CDSs over thesestructures and then to mitigate risk, purchased protection via
CDSs over the same structures from eight US financial guarantors.

ADI – Authorised Deposit-taking Institution.
AFS – Available-for-sale financial assets.
APRA – Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

Cash profit is an additional measure of profit which is prepared ona basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. Cashprofit represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the ongoing
business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Groupand Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer
institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core
items from statutory profit as noted below. These items are calculated
consistently period on period so as not to discriminate between
positive and negative adjustments.
Gains and losses are adjusted where they are significant, or havethe potential to be significant in any one period, and fall into oneof three categories:
1. gains or losses included in earnings arising from changes in tax, legal
or accounting legislation or other non-core items not associatedwith the ongoing operations of the Group;
2. treasury shares, revaluation of policy liabilities, economic hedging
impacts and similar accounting items that represent timing
differences that will reverse through earnings in the future; and3. accounting reclassifications between individual line items that
do not impact reported results, such as policyholder tax gross up.
Cash profit is not a measure of cash flow or profit determined on a cash
accounting basis.
Collective provision is the provision for credit losses that are inherent
in the portfolio but not able to be individually identified. A collective
provision is only recognised when a loss event has occurred. Losses
expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are
not recognised.
Covered Bonds are bonds issued by an ADI to external investors
secured against a pool of the ADI’s assets (the cover pool) assigned
to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. The primary assets
forming the cover pool are mortgage loans. The mortgages remainon the issuer’s balance sheet. The covered bond holders have dual
recourse to the issuer and the cover pool assets. The mortgages
included in the cover pool cannot be otherwise pledged or disposedof but may be repurchased and substituted in order to maintain thecredit quality of the pool. The Group issues covered bonds as partof its funding activities.
Credit equivalent represents the calculation of on-balance sheet
equivalents for market related items.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of ANZ’scustomers and counterparties to honour or perform fully the termsof a loan or contract.

198

Credit risk weighted assets (CRWA) represent assets which areweighted for credit risk according to a set formula (APS 112/113).
Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) – Over the life of a derivative
instrument, ANZ uses a CVA model to adjust fair value to take into
account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology
calculates the present value of expected losses over the life of thefinancial instrument as a function of probability of default, loss given
default, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor.
Impaired derivatives are also subject to a CVA.
Customer deposits represent term deposits, other deposits bearing
interest, deposits not bearing interest and borrowing corporations
debt excluding securitisation deposits.
Dividend payout ratio is the total ordinary dividend payment divided
by profit attributable to shareholders of the Company, adjusted for theamount of preference share dividends paid.
Employer superannuation contribution tax (ESCT) is tax deductedfrom the employer superannuation contributions paid to employeesuperannuation accounts in New Zealand.
Gross loans and advances (GLA) is made up of loans and advances,
acceptances and capitalised brokerage/mortgage origination fees lessunearned income.

Impaired assets are those financial assets where doubt exists as
to whether the full contractual amount will be received in a timely
manner, or where concessional terms have been provided because of
the financial difficulties of the customer. Financial assets are impaired

an impact, which can be reliably estimated, on the expected future
cash flows of the individual asset or portfolio of assets.
Impaired commitments and contingencies comprise undrawn
facilities and contingent facilities where the customer’s status isdefined as impaired.
Impaired loans comprise drawn facilities where the customer’s status
is defined as impaired.
Individual provision is the amount of expected credit losses on
financial instruments assessed for impairment on an individual basis(as opposed to on a collective basis). It takes into account expectedcash flows over the lives of those financial instruments.
Net interest margin (NIM) is net interest income as a percentageof average interest earning assets.
Net loans and advances represent gross loans and advances lessprovisions for credit impairment.
Net tangible assets equal share capital and reserves attributable
to shareholders of the Company less preference share capital andunamortised intangible assets (including goodwill and software).

technology expenses, restructuring expenses, and other operating
expenses (excluding credit impairment charges).
