ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.

ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These are the financial statements for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its controlled entities (together, the ‘Banking Group’) for the year
ended 30 September 2020. The Bank is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The address of the Bank’s registered office and its principal placeof business is ANZ Centre, 23-29 Albert Street, Auckland, New Zealand.
On 17 November 2020, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements.
Information in the financial statements is included only to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial
statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:• the amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);• the information is significant by nature (qualitative factor);• the user cannot understand the Banking Group’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);• the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in the Banking Group’s business during the period – forexample: business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);• the information relates to an aspect of the Banking Group’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); or• the information is required under legislative requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 or by the Banking Group’s principal
regulator, RBNZ.
This section of the financial statements:• outlines the basis upon which the Banking Group’s financial statements have been prepared; and• discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
These financial statements are general purpose (Tier 1) financial statements prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with the requirements of
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These financial statements comply with:• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;• New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as
appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities; and• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
We present the financial statements of the Banking Group in New Zealand dollars, which is the Banking Group’s functional and presentation currency.
We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
We have prepared the financial information in accordance with the historical cost basis - except for the following assets and liabilities which we havestated at their fair value:• derivative financial instruments;• financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and• financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATIONThe consolidated financial statements of the Banking Group comprise the financial statements of the Bank and all its subsidiaries. An entity, including
a structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of the group when we determine that the Bank has control over the entity. Control exists when the
Banking Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns throughits power over the entity. We assess power by examining existing rights that give the Banking Group the current ability to direct the relevant activitiesof the entity. We have eliminated, on consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in the Banking Group.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At thereporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate.
Any foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.
We measure translation differences on non-monetary items at fair value through profit or loss and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss onthese items. We include any translation differences on non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income in the investment securities revaluation reserve in equity.

ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In the process of applying the Banking Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied
estimates and assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider
material to the financial statements are contained within the relevant notes to the financial statements.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economy have impacted our customers, operations and the Banking Group‘s
performance. The outbreak necessitated governments to respond at unprecedented levels to protect the health of the population,
local economies and livelihoods. It has affected different regions at different times and at varying degrees and there remains a risk ofsubsequent waves of infection. Thus the pandemic has significantly increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of thesefinancial statements including:• the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions of governments, businesses and consumers tocontain the spread of the virus;• the extent and duration of the expected economic downturn, and subsequent recovery. This includes the impacts on capital
markets and liquidity, credit quality, increasing unemployment, declines in consumer spending, reductions in production, andother restructuring activities; and• the effectiveness of government and central bank measures to support businesses and consumers through this disruption andeconomic downturn.
The Banking Group has made various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions whichreflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 September 2020 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in thecircumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The underlying assumptions are also
subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Banking Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to bedifferent from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may
significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.
The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expectedcredit losses, fair value measurement, and the assessment of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these estimates is discussed further in the relevant note of these financial statements.
Readers should carefully consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described above.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PERIODNZ IFRS 16 LEASES (NZ IFRS 16)
NZ IFRS 16 became effective for the Banking Group from 1 October 2019 and replaced the previous standard NZ IAS 17 Leases (NZ IAS 17). NZ IFRS 16
primarily impacts the Banking Group’s property and technology leases which were previously classified as operating leases. Under NZ IAS 17,
operating leases were not recognised on the balance sheet and rent payments were expensed over the lease term.
Under NZ IFRS 16, the Banking Group recognises all leases (except for leases of low value assets and short term leases) on the balance sheet under asingle accounting model. Accordingly, the Banking Group recognises its right to use an underlying leased asset over the lease term as a right-of-use(ROU) asset, and its obligation to make lease payments as a lease liability. In the income statement, the Banking Group recognises depreciation
expense on the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability. As a result, lease expenses will be higher in the early periods of a lease and lower
in the later periods of the lease compared to the previous standard where expenses were constant over the lease term. Cumulative expenses over thelife of a lease will not change.
As permitted by the standard, the Banking Group does not recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value items and short term leases(less than 12 months). Instead, the lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as operating expense in the income statement on astraight-line basis over the lease term.
The Banking Group has applied the modified retrospective transition approach whereby initial lease liabilities are recognised based on the present
value of remaining lease payments as of the transition date. The initial ROU asset recognised for certain large commercial leases was measured as if NZ
IFRS 16 had always been applied to the leases. For all other leases, the initial ROU asset was measured as equal to the initial lease liability plus any
future make good obligations associated with exiting the lease.
The implementation of NZ IFRS 16 requires management to make certain key judgements including the determination of lease terms, discount rates
and identifying arrangements that contain a lease.
Based on the modified retrospective transition approach, the Banking Group recognised lease liabilities of NZ$333 million presented within Payables
and other liabilities and ROU assets of NZ$309 million presented within Premises and equipment. This resulted in a reduction to opening retained
earnings of NZ$17 million and an increase in deferred tax assets of NZ$7 million as of 1 October 2019. Comparatives have not been restated.

ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In addition, the Banking Group elected to apply the following practical expedients as permitted under the modified retrospective transition approach:• Impairment of ROU assets at the transition date was assessed by relying on onerous lease provisions previously recognised as of 30 September
2019 under NZ IAS 17;• Initial direct costs associated with entering leases prior to the transition date were excluded from the carrying value of ROU assets recognised attransition;• No ROU assets or lease liabilities were recognised for certain leases with less than 12 months remaining as of the transition date; these leases
were treated as short-term leases with all lease payments recognised in rent expense as incurred; and• Hindsight was used to determine the lease term of contracts that contained options to extend the lease.
The following table reconciles the operating lease commitments disclosed under NZ IAS 17 as at 30 September 2019 to the opening lease liabilities
recognised under NZ IFRS 16 as at 1 October 2019.

INTEREST RATE BENCHMARK REFORM
Background
Interbank offered rates (IBORs), such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), play a critical role in global financial markets, serving as reference
rates for derivatives, loans and securities, and as parameters in the valuation of financial instruments.
Uncertainty surrounding the integrity of IBORs has in recent years, led regulators, central banks and market participants to work towards a transition toalternative risk-free benchmark reference rates (RFRs) and market-led working groups in respective jurisdictions have recommended alternative riskfree reference rates, which are gradually being adopted. Progress in the transition to these new benchmarks has resulted in significant uncertainty inthe future of IBOR benchmarks beyond 1 January 2022.
Accounting amendments
In response to the uncertainty about the long-term viability of these benchmark rates, and LIBOR in particular, the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) has established a project to consider the financial reporting implications of the reform. The transition from IBORs is expected to have an
impact on various elements of financial instrument accounting, including hedge accounting, as well as fair value methodologies and disclosures.
In November 2019, the External Reporting Board (XRB) issued XRB amending standard Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, which amends certain existinghedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the interest rate benchmark reform. The Banking
Group elected to early adopt the amendments from 1 October 2019 which have not had a significant impact on the Banking Group. These
amendments address the accounting effects of uncertainty in the period leading up to the reform arising from the Banking Group’s ability to satisfy
the existing prospective hedge effectiveness requirements of NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39). This
uncertainty arises as it is not known when the hedged items (such as debt issuances) and associated hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps)
will be changed to reference the RFRs, or if both the hedging item and the associated hedging instrument will move to the new rates at the sametime. The Banking Group has applied this amendment to all hedge accounted relationships (cash flow or fair value hedges) where the reform gives
rise to uncertainties about the timing or amount of IBOR based cash flows of the hedged item or hedging instrument.
In September 2020, the XRB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2, which is mandatory for the Banking Group for the 2022 financial year. This
standard addresses issues that may affect the Banking Group at the point of transition from an existing IBOR rate to a RFR, including the effects ofchanges to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships. The standard includes amendments in respect of:•Modification of a financial asset or a financial liability measured at amortised cost
IBOR reform is expected to result in a change to the basis for determining contractual cash flows of impacted assets and liabilities of the Banking
Group. The amendments provide a practical expedient to account for a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows as aresult of IBOR reform by updating the effective interest rate. As a result, no immediate gain or loss is recognised. This applies when the change isnecessary as a direct consequence of the reform, and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to theprevious basis.

•

Additional relief for hedging relationships
The Standard also amends a number of existing hedge accounting requirements that will assist the Banking Group to maintain its existinghedge accounted relationships post IBOR transition. The Banking Group will continue to record any ongoing hedge ineffectiveness, includingthat generated by changes as a result of interest rate reform, within the income statement.

The Banking Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Impact of IBOR reform
The Banking Group has exposure to IBORs through its issuance of debt, the structural interest rate risk position, products denominated in foreign
currencies and associated hedging activities in our markets and treasury businesses within the Institutional and Other segments respectively.
The Banking Group has established a programme to manage the transition. The programme includes the assessment and actions necessary toaccommodate the transition to RFRs as they apply to internal processes and systems including pricing, risk management, documentation and hedge
arrangements. The programme includes management of the impact on customers.
Impact of IBOR reform on the Banking Group’s hedging relationships
Certain IBORs are subject to replacement RFRs. The Banking Group has hedge accounting relationships referencing IBORs, with the most significant
interest rate benchmarks for these hedging relationships being US dollar LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor), Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) andBank Bill Market (BKBM).
Of these benchmarks the Banking Group expects BBSW, BKBM and Euribor to exist as benchmark rates for the foreseeable future and therefore does
not believe its BBSW, BKBM or Euribor benchmark fair value or cash flow hedges to be directly impacted by IBOR reform.
The table below details the carrying values of the Banking Group's exposures designated in hedge accounting relationships that will be impacted by
IBOR reform, principally US dollar LIBOR. The nominal value of the associated hedging instruments is also included:

Hedging Instruments
Fair value hedges

As at 30 September 2020, the Banking Group also has Swiss franc LIBOR exposures designated in hedge accounting relationships of NZ$1,031 million.
In addition to hedge accounted relationships that will be impacted by IBOR reform, the Banking Group has exposures to other financial instruments
referencing an IBOR that are also subject to reform. The Banking Group is continuing to monitor market developments in relation to the transition to
RFRs from IBORs and their impact on the Banking Group’s financial assets and liabilities to ensure that there are no unexpected consequences or
disruption from the transition.
NZ IFRIC 23 UNCERTAINTY OVER INCOME TAX TREATMENTS (NZ IFRIC 23)
NZ IFRIC 23 became effective for the Banking Group from 1 October 2019. NZ IFRIC 23 clarifies application of recognition and measurement
requirements in NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. As the Banking Group’s existing policy aligned withthe requirements of NZ IFRIC 23, it had no material impact on the Banking Group.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT EARLY ADOPTED
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for the financial statements
for the year ended 30 September 2020, and have not been applied by the Banking Group in preparing these financial statements. Further details ofthese are set out below.
GENERAL HEDGE ACCOUNTINGNZ IFRS 9 introduces new hedge accounting requirements which more closely align accounting with risk management activities undertaken when
hedging both financial and non-financial risks. NZ IFRS 9 provides the Banking Group with an accounting policy choice to continue to apply the NZ
IAS 39 hedge accounting requirements until the IASB’s ongoing project on macro hedge accounting is completed. The Banking Group continues toapply the hedge accounting requirements of NZ IAS 39.
REVISED CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKIn May 2018 the XRB issued a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The new framework includes updated definitions and criteria forthe recognition and derecognition of assets and liabilities. Additionally, it introduces new concepts on measurement, including factors to consider
when selecting a measurement basis. The revised Conceptual Framework will apply to the Banking Group from 1 October 2020 and is not expected tohave a material impact on the Banking Group.

OPERATING INCOME (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTNET INTEREST INCOME
Interest income and expense
We recognise interest income and expense for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for trading, assets measured atfair value through other comprehensive income or designated at fair value through profit or loss in net interest income. For assets held at
amortised cost we use the effective interest rate method to calculate amortised cost. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts thestream of estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter
period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we determine their expected life on
the basis of historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio - taking into account contractual obligations and prepayment experience.
We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instruments (for example, loan origination fees and costs), using
the effective interest rate method. This is presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial
instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Fee and commission income
We recognise fees or commissions:• that relate to the execution of a significant act (for example, advisory or arrangement services, placement fees and underwriting fees)
when the significant act has been completed; and• charged for providing ongoing services (for example, maintaining and administering existing facilities, funds management services) as
income over the period the service is provided.
Net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income
We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:• 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;• fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives that we use to manage interest rate and foreign exchange
risk on funding instruments not designated as accounting hedges;• the ineffective portions of fair value hedges and cash flow hedges;• immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments in items designated as fair value hedges
and amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges;• fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss or held for trading; and• amounts released from the investment securities revaluation reserve in equity when a debt instrument classified as FVOCI is sold.
NET INCOME FROM INSURANCE BUSINESSWe recognise:• premiums with a regular due date as income on an accruals basis;• claims on an accruals basis once our liability to the policyholder has been confirmed under the terms of the contract; and• change in life insurance contract asset, net of liability for reinsurance, under the Margin of Service (MoS) model.
SHARE OF ASSOCIATES’ PROFITThe equity method is applied to accounting for associates in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the Banking
Group’s share of the after tax results of associates is included in the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income.

Following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 October 2019, with the exception of low value leases and leases of less than 12 months, expenses associated with leases are shown as
depreciation of the ROU asset and interest expense associated with the lease liability (comparatives not restated).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTOPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to the Banking Group over the period in which an asset is consumed or once a
liability is created.
SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS – ANNUAL LEAVE, LONG SERVICE LEAVE AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Wages and salaries, annual leave, and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of employees
rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that the Banking Group expects to pay when the liabilities
are settled.
We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff
departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market yields
are determined from a blended rate of high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future cash
outflows.
If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when the Banking Group has a present legal or constructive obligation
to pay this amount (as a result of past service provided by the employee) and the obligation can be reliably measured.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense comprises both current and deferred taxes and is based on the accounting profit adjusted for differences in the accounting
and tax treatments of income and expenses (that is, taxable income). We recognise tax expense in profit or loss except when the tax relates toitems recognised directly in equity and other comprehensive income, in which case we recognise the tax directly in equity or othercomprehensive income respectively.
CURRENT TAX EXPENSE
Current tax is the tax we expect to pay on taxable income for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the reporting date.
We recognise current tax as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIESWe account for deferred tax using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises because the accounting income is not always the same as thetaxable income. This creates temporary differences, which usually reverse over time. Until they reverse, we recognise a deferred tax asset, or
liability, on the balance sheet. We measure deferred taxes at the tax rates that we expect will apply to the period(s) when the asset is realised, or
the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
We offset current and deferred tax assets and liabilities only to the extent 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.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FINANCIAL ASSETS

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT
Financial assets - general
There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under NZ IFRS 9: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and fairvalue through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two
criteria:• the business model within which the financial asset is managed; and• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments ofprincipal and interest).
The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:• Amortised cost: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in abusiness model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;• FVOCI: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a businessmodel whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and• FVTPL: any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.
Fair value option for financial assets
A financial asset may be irrevocably designated at FVTPL on initial recognition when the designation eliminates or significantly reduces anaccounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

In 2020, the Banking Group reclassified trading securities issued by development banks and supra-nationals from Corporate and financial institution securities to Government securities.
Comparative information has been restated accordingly, with NZ$3,313 million reclassified as Government securities from Corporate and financial institution securities.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trading securities are financial instruments we either:• acquire principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term; or• hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.
We recognise purchases and sales of trading securities on trade date:• initially, we measure them at fair value; and• subsequently, we measure them in the balance sheet at their fair value with any revaluation recognised in the profit or loss.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of trading securities not valued using
quoted market prices. Refer to Note 16 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.

(9,755)(1,287)(11,042)FEATURES
Derivative financial instruments are contracts:• whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract – sometimes the value is derived from morethan one variable;• that require little or no initial net investment; and• that are settled at a future date.
Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.

PURPOSEThe Banking Group’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:
Trading

Derivatives held in order to:• meet customer needs for managing their own risks.
• manage risk in the Banking Group that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship.
• undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or
margins.

Designated in hedging
relationships

Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching
movements to underlying positions relating to:• hedges of the Banking Group’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.
• hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.

TYPES
The Banking Group offers and uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:
Forwards

A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional
principal amount at a future date.

Futures

An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on thetransaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.

Swaps

A contract in which one party exchanges one series of cash flows for another.

Options

A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a “call option”)
or to sell (known as a “put option”) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has thecorresponding obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises theoption.

RISKS MANAGED
The Banking Group offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following market factors:
Foreign exchange

Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.

Interest rate

Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.

Commodity

Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa, and sugar) and hard commodities (thatis, mined products such as gold, oil and gas).

CreditCounterparty risk in the event of default.

The Banking Group uses two types of hedge accounting relationships:
Fair value hedge

Cash flow hedge

Objective of thishedgingarrangement

To hedge our exposure to changes to the fair value of arecognised asset or liability or unrecognised firm
commitment caused by interest rate or foreign currency
movements.

To hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows of arecognised asset or liability, a firm commitment or ahighly probable forecast transaction caused by interest
rate, foreign currency and other price movements.

Recognition ofeffective hedge
portionThe following are recognised in profit or loss at the sametime:
• all changes in the fair value of the underlying item
relating to the hedged risk; and• the change in the fair value of the derivatives.

We recognise the effective portion of changes in the fairvalue of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge inthe cash flow hedge reserve.

Recognition of ineffective
hedge portion

Recognised immediately in other operating income.

If a hedging instrument
expires, or is sold,terminated, or exercised;or no longer qualifies forhedge accounting

When we recognise the hedged item in profit or loss, werecognise the related unamortised fair value adjustmentin profit or loss. This may occur over time if the hedged
item is amortised to profit or loss as part of the effective
yield over the period to maturity.

Only when we recognise the hedged item in profit orloss is the amount previously deferred in the cash flow
hedge reserve transferred to profit or loss.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Recognition

Initially and at each reporting date, we recognise all derivatives at fair value. If the fair value of a derivative ispositive, then we carry it as an asset, but if its value is negative, then we carry it as a liability.
Valuation adjustments are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes:• a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the counterparty risk and/or event of default; and• a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) to account for funding costs and benefits in the derivatives portfolio.

Derecognition ofassets and liabilities

We remove derivative assets from our balance sheet when the contracts expire or we have transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We remove derivative liabilities from our balance sheet
when the Banking Group’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

Impact on theincome statement

How we recognise gains or losses on derivative financial instruments depends on whether the derivative isheld for trading or is designated into a hedging relationship. For derivative financial instruments held for
trading, gains or losses from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
For an instrument designated into a hedging relationship the recognition of gains or losses depends on thenature of the item being hedged. Refer to the previous table on page 21 for profit or loss treatment dependingon the hedge type.
Sources of hedge ineffectiveness may arise from basis risk and differences in discounting between the hedged
items and the hedging instruments. The hedging instruments are discounted using Overnight Index Swaps
discount curves which are not applied to the hedged items.

Hedge effectivenessTo qualify for hedge accounting a hedge is expected to be highly effective. A hedge is highly effective only if
the following conditions are met:
• the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows
attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated (prospective
effectiveness); and• the actual results of the hedge are within the range of 80-125% (retrospective effectiveness).
The Banking Group monitors hedge effectiveness on a regular basis but at a minimum at least at eachreporting date.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when we select the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivatives, particularly the selectionof valuation inputs that are not readily observable, and the application of valuation adjustments to certain derivatives. Refer to Note 16
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.

In 2020, the Banking Group reclassified investment securities issued by development banks and supra-nationals from Corporate and financial institution securities to Government securities.
Comparative information has been restated accordingly, with NZ$1,844 million reclassified as Government securities from Corporate and financial institution securities.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investment securities are those financial assets in security form (that is, transferable debt or equity instruments) that are not held for trading
purposes. By way of exception, bills of exchange (a form of security/transferable instrument) which are used to facilitate the Banking Group’s
customer lending activities are classified as loans and advances (rather than investment securities) to better reflect the substance of thearrangement.
Non-trading equity instruments may be designated at FVOCI on an instrument by instrument basis. If this election is made, gains or losses are
not reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss on disposal of the investment. However, gains or losses may be reclassified
within equity.
Assets disclosed as investment securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined at thecommencement of the Banking Group’s Financial Asset disclosures on page 18.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when we select valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets not valued using quoted market
prices, particularly the selection of valuation inputs that are not readily observable. Refer to Note 16 Fair Value of Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities for further details.

The Bank has sold residential mortgages to the NZ Branch with a net carrying value of NZ$287 million as at 30 September 2020 (2019: NZ$739 million).
These assets qualify for derecognition as the Bank does not retain a continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are
facilities the Banking Group provides directly to customers or through third party channels.
Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance, which areprimarily brokerage/mortgage origination fees which we amortise over the estimated life of the loan. Subsequently, we then measure loans andadvances at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any provision for credit impairment.
We classify contracts to lease assets and hire purchase agreements as finance leases if they transfer substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the asset to the customer or an unrelated third party.
The Banking Group enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets that are recognised on its balance sheet. When the Banking
Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets remain on the Banking Group’s balance
sheet, however if substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, the Banking Group derecognises the asset.
If the risks and rewards are partially retained and control over the asset is lost, then the Banking Group derecognises the asset. If control over theasset is not lost, the Banking Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.
We separately recognise the rights and obligations retained, or created, in the transfer as assets and liabilities as appropriate.
Assets disclosed as net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on
page 18. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with loans and advances at amortised cost are recognised and measured in accordancewith the accounting policy outlined in Note 12.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of gross loans and advances contributed to changes in loss allowance
Overall, loss allowances are 0.5% of gross balances as at 30 September 2020, up from 0.4% as at 30 September 2019. The NZ$259 million (43.6%)
increase in loss allowances was driven by an increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in the forward looking
economic scenarios and changes in probability weightings as described in the key judgements and estimates section below.

COVID-19 LOAN DEFERRAL AND RELIEF PACKAGES
Since March 2020, the Banking Group has offered various forms of assistance to customers to counteract the impact of COVID-19 on the ability ofcustomers to meet their loan obligations. The assistance provided has included arrangements such as temporary deferral of principal and interest
repayments, replacing principal and interest with interest only repayments, and extension of loan maturity dates. Refer to Key Judgements andEstimates in this note for details on the impact of deferrals where there has been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR).
Loan deferral and relief packages are considered to be a loan modification under NZ IFRS 9. This either results in the loan being derecognised andreplaced with a new loan (substantial modification) or the existing loan continuing to be recognised (non-substantial modification). The table below
shows the outstanding balance as at 30 September 2020 of all loans that have been modified (both substantial and non-substantial modifications):

12. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTEXPECTED CREDIT LOSS IMPAIRMENT MODEL
The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability weighted prediction which evaluates a range of scenarios andtakes into account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Expected credit losses are either measured over 12 months or the expected lifetime of the financial asset, depending on credit deterioration
since origination, according to the following three-stage approach:•••Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a SICR since origination, an allowance equivalent to 12
months ECL is recognised reflecting the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12 months
from the reporting date. For instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, expected credit losses are estimated basedon default events that are possible over the remaining time to maturity.
Stage 2: Where there has been a SICR since origination, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised reflecting expected credit
losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. If credit risk were to improve in a
subsequent period such that the increase in credit risk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure returns to a
Stage 1 classification and a 12 month ECL applies.
Stage 3: Where there is objective evidence of impairment, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised.

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for exposures in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and on either a collective or individual basis
when transferred to Stage 3.
MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSESECL is calculated as the product of the following credit risk factors at a facility level, discounted to incorporate the time value of money:•••

Probability of default (PD) – the estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will default over a given period;
Exposure at default (EAD) – the expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest,
expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest; andLoss given default (LGD) – the expected loss in the event of the borrower defaulting, expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD,
taking into account direct and indirect recovery costs.

These credit risk factors are adjusted for current and forward looking information through the use of macro-economic variables.
EXPECTED LIFE
When estimating ECL for exposures in Stage 2 and 3, the Banking Group considers the expected lifetime over which it is exposed to credit risk.
For non-retail portfolios, the Banking Group uses the maximum contractual period as the expected lifetime for non-revolving credit facilities.
For non-retail revolving credit facilities, such as corporate lines of credit, the expected life reflects the Banking Group’s contractual right towithdraw a facility as part of a contractually agreed annual review, after taking into account the applicable notice period.
For retail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using behavioural term, taking into account expected repayment behaviour andsubstantial modifications.
DEFINITION OF DEFAULT, CREDIT IMPAIRED AND WRITE-OFFS
The definition of default used in measuring expected credit losses is aligned to the definition used for internal credit risk management
purposes across all portfolios. This definition is also in line with the regulatory definition of default. Default occurs when there are indicatorsthat a debtor is unlikely to fully satisfy contractual credit obligations to the Banking Group, or the exposure is 90 days past due.
Financial assets, including those that are well secured, are considered credit impaired for financial reporting purposes when they default.
When there is no realistic probability of recovery, loans are written off against the related impairment allowance on completion of the Banking
Group’s internal processes and when all reasonably expected recoveries have been collected. In subsequent periods, any recoveries ofamounts previously written-off are credited to credit impairment charge in the income statement.
MODIFIED FINANCIAL ASSETS
If the terms of a financial asset are modified or an existing financial asset is replaced with a new one for either credit or commercial reasons, anassessment is made to determine if the changes to the terms of the existing financial asset are considered substantial. This assessment
considers both changes in cash flows arising from the modified terms as well as changes in the overall instrument risk profile; for example,
changes in the principal (credit limit), term, or type of underlying collateral. Where a modification is considered non-substantial, the existing
financial asset is not derecognised and its date of origination continues to be used to determine SICR. Where a modification is considered
substantial, the existing financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at its fair value on the modification date, which
also becomes the date of origination used to determine SICR for this new asset.

12. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENTSIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CREDIT RISK (SICR)
Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a SICR since origination. In determining what constitutes a SICR, the Banking Groupconsiders both qualitative and quantitative information:•

Internal credit rating grade
For the majority of portfolios, the primary indicator of a SICR is a significant deterioration in the internal credit rating grade of a facility
since origination and is measured by application of thresholds.
For non-retail portfolios, a SICR is determined by comparing the Customer Credit Rating (CCR) applicable to a facility at reporting
date to the CCR at origination of that facility. A CCR is assigned to each borrower which reflects the probability of default of theborrower and incorporates both borrower and non-borrower specific information, including forward looking information. CCRs are
subject to review at least annually or more frequently when an event occurs which could affect the credit risk of the customer.
For retail portfolios, a SICR is determined, depending on the type of facility, by either comparing the scenario weighted lifetime
probability of default at the reporting date to that at origination, or by reference to customer behavioural score thresholds. The
scenario weighted lifetime probability of default may increase significantly if:••

there has been a deterioration in the economic outlook, or an increase in economic uncertainty; orthere has been a deterioration in the customer’s overall credit position, or ability to manage their credit obligations.

•

Backstop criteria
The Banking Group uses 30 days past due arrears as a backstop criteria for both non-retail and retail portfolios. For retail portfolios
only, facilities are required to demonstrate three to six months of good payment behaviour prior to being allocated back to Stage 1.

•

COVID-19 initiatives
For facilities subject to the COVID-19 payment deferral arrangements noted above, an assessment of SICR has been determinedbased on various measures of the customer’s current financial position and earnings capacity from which the facilities are
categorised into risk categories. SICR is then determined based on the resulting risk categorisation. Customers in higher risk
categories, and those who have requested deferral extension are classified as having a SICR.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
Forward looking information is incorporated into both our assessment of whether a financial asset has experienced a SICR since its initialrecognition and in our estimate of ECL. In applying forward looking information for estimating ECL, the Banking Group considers four
probability-weighted forecast economic scenarios as follows:•

Base case scenario
The base case scenario is our view of the most likely future macro-economic conditions. It reflects management’s assumptions used
for strategic planning and budgeting, and also informs the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
which is the process the Banking Group applies in strategic and capital planning over a 3 year time horizon;•

Upside and downside scenarios
The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on theeconomic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are based on a combination more optimistic (in the case of the upside) andpessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic events and uncertainty over the long term horizons; and•Severe downside scenario
The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe
impact of less likely extremely adverse economic conditions. It reflects macro-economic conditions of a downturn economic eventwith a probability of occurrence once every 25 years.

The four scenarios are described in terms of macro-economic variables used in the PD, LGD and EAD models (collectively the ECL models)depending on the portfolio and country of the borrower. Examples of the variables include unemployment rates, GDP growth rates, house
price indices, commercial property price indices and consumer price indices.
Probability weighting each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base casescenario, as well as specific portfolio considerations where required.
Where applicable, adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been adequately
addressed in the modelling process.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In estimating collectively assessed ECL, the Banking Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:• the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology, noting that the modelling of the Banking Group’s ECL estimates arecomplex; and• the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.
The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the ECL model inputs and the interdependencies between
those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.
The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impacts of COVID-19, and reflect historical experienceand other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances. In relation to COVID-19, judgements and assumptions include the extent and duration of the pandemic, the impacts of actionsof governments and other authorities, and the responses of businesses and consumers in different industries, along with the associated impact
on the global economy. Accordingly, the Banking Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ fromthese estimates.
Judgement /assumption
Determining
when a SICR
has occurred

Description
In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved insetting the rules and trigger points to determine
whether there has been a SICR since initialrecognition of a loan, which would result in thefinancial asset moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This isa key area of judgement since transition from Stage 1
to Stage 2 increases the ECL from an allowance basedon the probability of default in the next 12 months, toan allowance for lifetime expected credit losses.
Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting intransition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly resultin significant changes in the ECL allowance.
The setting of precise trigger points requires
judgement which may have a material impact upon
the size of the ECL allowance. The Banking Group
monitors the effectiveness of SICR criteria on an
ongoing basis.

Measuringboth 12-monthand lifetime
credit losses

Considerations for the year ended
30 September 2020
In response to the impacts of COVID-19, various
packages, such as payment deferrals, have beenoffered to eligible retail and commercial customers.
The Banking Group does not consider that when acustomer is first provided assistance, all things being
equal, that there has been a SICR and a consequent
impact on ECL when assessing provisions.
Subsequent to take-up, customers have been
contacted to discuss available options once thepackages reach their end date. This additional
information on the customer’s financial position andability to recommence their loan repayments is used
to assist in classification of customers into risk
categories. Customers in high risk categories, andthose who have requested a deferral extension, havebeen classified as having a SICR.

The PD, LGD, and EAD credit risk parameters used indetermining ECL are point-in-time measuresreflecting the relevant forward looking information
determined by management. Judgement is involved
in determining which forward-looking information
variables are relevant for particular lending portfolios
and for determining each portfolio’s point-in-time
sensitivity.

The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to the
Banking Group’s model risk policy that stipulates
periodic model monitoring, periodic re-validation anddefines approval procedures and authorities
according to model materiality.

In addition, judgement is required where behaviouralcharacteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime ofa facility to be used in measuring ECL.

There were no changes to behavioural lifetime
estimates during the year ended 30 September 2020.

There were no material changes to the models during
the year ended 30 September 2020.

Description

Considerations for the year ended
30 September 2020

Base caseeconomic
forecast

The Banking Group derives a forward looking “basecase” economic scenario which reflects our view ofthe most likely future macro-economic conditions.

There have been no changes to the types of forward
looking variables (key economic drivers) used asmodel inputs in the current year.
As at 30 September 2020, the base case assumptions
have been updated to reflect the rapidly evolving
situation with respect to COVID-19. This includes anassessment of the impact of central bank policies,
governments’ actions, the response of business, andinstitution specific responses (such as payment
deferrals). These are considered in determining thelength and severity of the forecast economic
downturn.
The expected outcomes of key economic drivers forthe base case scenario as at 30 September 2020 are
described below under the heading “Base caseeconomic forecast assumptions”.

Probability
weighting ofeach scenario(base case,upside,downside andseveredownsidescenarios)1,2

Probability weighting of each economic scenario is
determined by management considering the risks
and uncertainties surrounding the base case scenario
at each measurement date.

The key consideration for probability weightings in
the current period is the continuing impact of COVID19.
The Banking Group considers these weightings toprovide the best estimate of the possible loss
outcomes and has analysed inter-relationships andcorrelations (over both the short and long term)
within the Banking Group’s credit portfolios indetermining them.
In addition to the base case forecast which reflects
the negative economic consequences of COVID-19,
greater weighting has been applied to the downsideand severe downside scenarios given the Banking
Group’s assessment of downside risks.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to ahigh degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore theactual outcomes may be significantly different tothose projected.

Management
temporaryadjustments

Management temporary adjustments to the ECL
allowance are used in circumstances where it isjudged that our existing inputs, assumptions andmodel techniques do not capture all the risk factors
relevant to our lending portfolios. Emerging local or
global macroeconomic, microeconomic or politicalevents, and natural disasters that are not incorporated
into our current parameters, risk ratings, or forwardlooking information are examples of suchcircumstances. The use of management temporary
adjustments may impact the amount of ECL
recognised.
The uncertainty associated with the COVID-19
pandemic, and the extent to which the actions ofgovernments, businesses and consumers mitigate
against potentially adverse credit outcomes are notfully incorporated into existing ECL models.
Accordingly, management overlays have been
applied to ensure credit provisions are appropriate.

Management have applied a number of adjustments
to the modelled ECL primarily due to the uncertainty
associated with COVID-19.
Management overlays (including COVID-19 overlays)
which add to the modelled ECL provision have been
made for retail, commercial and agri banking.

The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are
based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic conditions.
The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe downside impact of less likely extremely adverse economic
conditions.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Base case economic forecast assumptions
The uncertain evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic increases the risk to the economic forecast resulting in an understatement oroverstatement of the ECL balance due to uncertainties around:• the extent and duration of measures to stop or reduce the speed of the spread of COVID-19;• the extent and duration of the economic downturn, along with the time required for economies to recover; and• the effectiveness of government stimulus measures, in particular their impact on the magnitude of the economic downturn and theextent and duration of the recovery.
The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts at 30 September 2020 are set out below. These reflect our view of the most likely
future macro-economic conditions at 30 September 2020. For years beyond the near term forecasts below, the ECL models project future year
economic conditions including an assumption to eventual reversion to mid-cycle economic conditions.

The base case economic forecasts as at 30 September 2020 reflect a significant deterioration in current and expected economic conditions
from the forecasts as at 30 September 2019 reflecting the emergence and ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Probability weightings
Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base casescenario. The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the continuing impact of COVID-19.
In addition to the base case forecast which reflects largely the negative economic consequences of COVID-19, greater weighting has been
applied to the downside and severe downside scenarios given the Banking Group’s assessment of downside risks.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may besignificantly different to those projected. The Banking Group considers these weightings to provide the best estimate of the possible loss
outcomes and has analysed inter-relationships and correlations (over both the short and long term) within the Banking Group’s credit
portfolios in determining them. The average weightings applied are set out below:

ECL - Sensitivity analysis
The uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 introduces significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the measurement of the Banking Group’s
allowance for ECL. The rapidly evolving consequences of COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses could result insignificant adjustments to the allowance in future financial years.
Given current economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future
periods, ECL reported by the Banking Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.
The table below illustrates the sensitivity of collectively assessed ECL to key factors used in determining it as at 30 September 2020:

FINANCIAL LIABILITIESCLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, or fair value through profit or loss (when they are held for trading). Additionally, financial
liabilities can be designated at FVTPL where:• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise;• a group of financial liabilities are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management strategy; or• the financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives unless:• the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or• the embedded derivative is closely related to the host financial liability.
Where financial liabilities are designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are included
in other comprehensive income, except where doing so would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
For deposits and other borrowings that:• are not designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, we measure them at amortised cost and recognise their interest
expense using the effective interest rate method; and• are managed on a fair value basis, reduce or eliminate an accounting mismatch or contain an embedded derivative, we designated them asmeasured at fair value through profit or loss.
Refer to Note 16 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for details.
For deposits and other borrowings designated at fair value we recognise the amount of fair value gain or loss attributable to changes in the Banking
Group’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income in retained earnings. Any remaining amount of fair value gain or loss we recognise directlyin profit or loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to profit or loss.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent a liability to repurchase the financial assets that remain on our balance sheet since the risks
and rewards of ownership remain with the Banking Group. Over the life of the repurchase agreement, we recognise the difference between thesale price and the repurchase price and charge it to interest expense in the income statement.

14. DEBT ISSUANCESThe Banking Group uses a variety of funding programmes to issue unsubordinated debt (including senior debt and covered bonds) and subordinateddebt. The difference between unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt is that holders of unsubordinated debt take priority over holders ofsubordinated debt owed by the relevant issuer and subordinated debt will be repaid by the relevant issuer only after the repayment of claims ofdepositors, other creditors and the senior debt holders.

Covered bonds are guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ
Covered Bond Trust (the Covered Bond Trust). The Covered Bond Trust is a member of the Banking Group, whereas the Covered Bond Guarantor is nota member of the Banking Group.

SUBORDINATED DEBT
Certain subordinated debt qualifies as regulatory capital for the Banking Group and is classified as Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital for RBNZ’s capital
adequacy purposes depending on its term and conditions. The Banking Group’s AT1 Capital, which is comprised of perpetual capital instruments,
includes ANZ NZ Capital Notes (ANZ NZ CN), ANZ NZ Internal Capital Notes 1 (ANZ NZ ICN), and ANZ NZ Internal Capital Notes 2 (ANZ NZ ICN2).
AT1 CAPITAL
AT1 capital notes are fully paid convertible non-cumulative perpetual subordinated notes. The AT1 capital notes rank equally with each other and with
the Bank’s preference shares. Holders of AT1 capital notes do not have any right to vote in general meetings of the Bank.
As at 30 September 2020, ANZ NZ CN carried a BBB- credit rating from S&P Global Ratings.
AT1 capital notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond the Bank’s control where the principal is converted into a variable
number of ordinary shares of the Bank (ANZ NZ ICN and ANZ NZ ICN2) or the Ultimate Parent Bank (ANZ NZ CN).
Interest payments on the AT1 capital notes are non-cumulative and subject to the issuer’s absolute discretion and certain payment conditions(including regulatory requirements).
Where specified, AT1 capital notes provide the Bank with an early redemption or conversion option on a specified date and in certain othercircumstances (such as a tax or regulatory event). Early redemption is subject to RBNZ’s, and in the case of ANZ NZ CN, APRA’s prior written approval.

35

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
14. DEBT ISSUANCES (continued)
Each of the AT1 capital notes will immediately convert into a variable number of ordinary shares of the:• Bank based on the net assets per share in the Bank’s most recently published Disclosure Statement (ANZ NZ ICN and ANZ NZ ICN2); or• Ultimate Parent Bank based on the average market price of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ordinary shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1%
discount, subject to a maximum conversion number (ANZ NZ CN)
if:• the Banking Group’s, or in the case of the ANZ NZ CN the Overseas Banking Group’s Level 2, common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or lessthan 5.125% - known as a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; or• RBNZ directs the Bank to convert or write-off the notes or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides that the Bank must convert
or write-off the notes or, in the case of the ANZ NZ CN, APRA notifies the Ultimate Parent Bank that, without the conversion or write-off of certain
securities or a public injection of capital (or equivalent support), it considers that the Ultimate Parent Bank would become non-viable – known
as a Non-Viability Trigger Event.
Where specified, AT1 capital notes mandatorily convert into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Bank (ANZ NZ ICN and ANZ NZ ICN2) (basedon the net assets per share in the Bank’s most recently published Disclosure Statement) or the Ultimate Parent Bank (ANZ NZ CN) (based on the
average market value of the shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount):• on a specified mandatory conversion date; or• on an earlier date under certain circumstances as set out in the terms.
However, the mandatory conversion is deferred for a specified period if certain conversion tests are not met.

On 2 April 2020, RBNZ announced that locally incorporated banks, including the Bank, should not redeem capital notes at this time. Accordingly, the Bank was not permitted to, and did not,redeem ANZ NZ CN on 25 May 2020 (the Optional Exchange Date). Further, the Bank did not exercise its option to convert ANZ NZ CN into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank on the
Optional Exchange Date.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Debt issuances are measured at amortised cost. Where the Banking Group enters into a fair value hedge accounting relationship, the fair value
attributable to the hedge risk is reflected in adjustments to the carrying value of the debt. Interest expense is recognised using the effective
interest rate method.
Subordinated debt with capital-based conversion features (i.e. Common Equity Capital Trigger Event or Non-Viability Trigger Events) areconsidered to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at fair value through profit and loss. The embedded derivatives arise
because the amount of shares issued on conversion following any of those trigger events is subject to the maximum conversion number,
however they have no value as of the reporting date given the remote nature of those triggering events.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AND MODELINTRODUCTION
The use of financial instruments is fundamental to the Banking Group’s businesses of providing banking and other financial services to our customers.
The associated financial risks (primarily credit, market, and liquidity risks) are a significant portion of the Banking Group’s key material risks.
This note details the Banking Group’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the key financial risks:

The risk of financial loss resulting from:• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in financial loss.
Credit risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending to customers
who could be impacted by climate change or by changes to laws,
regulations, or other policies adopted by governments or regulatory
authorities, including carbon pricing and climate change adaptation or
mitigation policies.
Market risk
The risk to the Banking Group’s earnings arising from:• changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges rates, credit spreads,
volatility and correlations; or• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.
Liquidity and funding risk
The risk that the Banking Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as
they fall due, including:• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or• the Banking Group having insufficient capacity to fund increases in
assets.

OVERVIEWAN OVERVIEW OF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKThis overview is provided to aid the users of the financial statements to understand the context of the financial disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7.
The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing the Banking Group’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board has delegated authority
to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with the Banking Group’s risk management policies. The BRC reports
regularly to the Board on its activities.
The Board approves the strategic objectives of the Banking Group including:• the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that the Banking Group is prepared toaccept in pursuit of its strategic objectives and business plan; and• the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes the Banking Group’s strategy for managing risks and the key elements of the RMF thatgives effect to this strategy. This includes a description of each material risk, and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference
to the relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how the Banking Group identifies, measures, evaluates,
monitors, reports and controls or mitigates material risks.
The Banking Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and robust control environment
in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. At the Banking Group, risk is everyone’s responsibility.
The Banking Group has an independent risk management function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who:
• is responsible for overseeing the risk profile and the risk management framework;• can effectively challenge activities and decisions that materially affect the Banking Group’s risk profile; and• has an independent reporting line to the BRC to enable the appropriate escalation of issues of concern.
Internal Audit Function
Internal Audit is a function independent of management whose role is to provide the Board and management with an effective and independent
appraisal of the internal controls established by management. Operating under a Board approved Charter, the reporting line for the outcomes of work
conducted by Internal Audit is direct to the Chair of the Audit Committee, with a direct communication line to the Chief Executive Officer and theexternal auditor. The Internal Audit Plan is developed using a risk based approach and is reviewed quarterly. The Audit Committee approves the plan.
All audit activities are conducted in accordance with local and international auditing standards, and the results of the activities are reported to the
Audit Committee and management. These results influence the performance assessment of business heads. Furthermore, Internal Audit monitors theremediation of audit issues and reports the current status of any outstanding audits.

CREDIT RISKCREDIT RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES
Granting credit facilities to customers is one of the Banking Group’s major sources of income. As this activity is also a key material risk, the Banking
Group dedicates considerable resources to its management. The Banking Group assumes credit risk in a wide range of lending and other activities indiverse markets and in many jurisdictions. Credit risks arise from traditional lending to customers as well as from interbank, treasury, trade finance andcapital markets activities around the world.
Our credit risk management framework ensures we apply a consistent approach across the Banking Group when we measure, monitor and manage
the credit risk appetite set by the Board. The Board is assisted and advised by the BRC in discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The BRC:
• sets the credit risk appetite and credit strategies; and• approves credit transactions beyond the discretion of executive management.
We quantify credit risk through an internal credit rating system (masterscales) to ensure consistency across exposure types and to provide a consistentframework for reporting and analysis. The system uses models and other tools to measure the following for customer exposures:
Probability of Default (PD)Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting the Banking Group’s assessment of a customer’sability to service and repay debt.

Exposure at Default (EAD)

The expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal andinterest, expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest at the time of default.

Loss Given Default (LGD)

Expressed by a Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to thepercentage of loan covered by security which the Banking Group can realise if a customer defaults. The
A-G scale is supplemented by a range of other SIs which cover such factors as cash cover and sovereign
backing. For retail and some small business lending, we group exposures into large homogeneous
pools – and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.

Our specialist credit risk teams develop and validate the Banking Group’s PD and LGD rating models. The outputs from these models drive our day-today credit risk management decisions including origination, pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, internal capital allocation, and credit
provisioning.
All customers with whom the Banking Group has a credit relationship are assigned a CCR at origination via either of the following assessment
approaches:
Large and more complex lending

Retail and some small business lending

Rating models provide a consistent and structured assessment, withjudgement required around the use of out-of-model factors. We
handle credit approval on a dual approval basis, jointly with thebusiness writer and an independent credit officer.

Automated assessment of credit applications using a combination ofscoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit
reporting information. If the application does not meet the automatedassessment criteria, then it is referred out for manual assessment.

We use the Banking Group’s internal CCR to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, the Banking Group’s CCRs are
mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO CREDIT RISKFor 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, thesedifferences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject tomarket risk, or bank notes and coins.
For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum
exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount the Banking Group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk becomes concentrated when a number of customers are engaged in similar activities, have similar economic characteristics, or have similar
activities within the same geographic region – therefore, they may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Banking
Group monitors its credit portfolio to manage risk concentration and rebalance the portfolio. The Banking Group also applies single customer
counterparty limits to protect against unacceptably large exposures to one single customer.
Analysis of financial assets by industry sector is based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes. The significant
categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC), except that Agriculture is shown separately as
required by the Order.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT
We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations. Where there issufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is largely the case for certain lending products that are secured by corresponding
investment for which margin loans are utilised and for reverse repurchase agreements. For some products, the collateral provided by customers isfundamental to the product’s structuring, so it is not strictly the secondary source of repayment - for example, lending secured by trade receivables istypically repaid by the collection of those receivables. During the period there was no change in our collateral policies.
The nature of collateral or security held for the relevant classes of financial assets is as follows:
Net loans and advances
Loans – housing and personal

Housing loans are secured by mortgage(s) over property and additional security may take the form ofguarantees and deposits.
Personal lending (including credit cards and overdrafts) is predominantly unsecured. If we takesecurity, then it is restricted to eligible vehicles, motor homes and other assets.

Loans – businessBusiness loans may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Typically, we take security by way of amortgage over property and/or a charge over the business or other assets.
If appropriate, we may take other security to mitigate the credit risk, for example: guarantees, standby
letters of credit or derivative protection.

Other financial assets
Trading securities, investment
securities, derivatives and otherfinancial assets

For trading securities, we do not seek collateral directly from the issuer or counterparty. However, thecollateral may be implicit in the terms of the instrument (for example, with an asset-backed security).
The terms of debt securities may include collateralisation.
For derivatives, we typically terminate all contracts with the counterparty and settle on a net basis atmarket levels current at the time of a counterparty default under International Swaps and Derivatives
Association (ISDA) Master Agreements.
Our preferred practice is to use a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to the ISDA so that 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 when their position is out of themoney (or provided to the counterparty by the Banking Group when our position is out of the money).

Off-balance sheet positions
Undrawn and contingent liabilities

Collateral for off-balance sheet positions is mainly held against undrawn facilities, and they are typically
performance bonds or guarantees. Undrawn facilities that are secured include housing loans securedby mortgages over residential property and business lending secured by commercial real estate and/or
charges over business assets.

The table below shows the estimated value of collateral we hold and the net unsecured portion of credit exposures:

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
MARKET RISKMARKET RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIESMarket risk stems from the Banking Group’s trading and balance sheet management activities and the impact of changes and correlation between
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads and volatility in bond, commodity or equity prices.
The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of both market risk and compliance with market risk policies to the Bank’s Asset &Liability Committee (ALCO).
Within overall strategies and policies established by the BRC, business units and risk management have joint responsibility for the control of market
risk at the Banking Group level. The Market Risk team (a specialist risk management unit independent of the business) allocates market risk limits at
various levels and monitors and reports on them daily. This detailed framework allocates individual limits to manage and control exposures using risk
factors and profit and loss limits.
Management, measurement and reporting of market risk is undertaken in two broad categories:
Traded market risk

Non-traded market risk

Risk of loss from changes in the value of financial instruments due
to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative
trading positions. Principal risk categories monitored are:• Currency risk – potential loss arising from changes in foreignexchange rates or their implied volatilities.
• Interest rate risk – potential loss from changes in market
interest rates or their implied volatilities.
• Credit spread risk – potential loss arising from a movement
in margin or spread relative to a benchmark.
• Commodity risk – potential loss arising from changes incommodity prices or their implied volatilities.
• Equity risk – potential loss arising from changes in equity
prices.

Risk of loss associated with the management of non-traded interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and foreign exchange exposures. This includes interest rate riskin the banking book. This risk of loss arises from adverse changes in theoverall and relative level of interest rates for different tenors, differences in
the actual versus expected net interest margin, and the potential valuation
risk associated with embedded options in financial instruments and bankproducts.

MEASUREMENT OF MARKET RISKWe primarily manage and control market risk using Value at Risk (VaR), sensitivity analysis and stress testing.
VaR gauges the Banking Group’s possible daily loss based on historical market movements.
The Banking Group’s VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. We use historical changes in market rates, prices andvolatilities over:• the previous 500 business days, to calculate standard VaR, and• a 1-year stressed period, to calculate stressed VaR.
We calculate traded and non-traded VaR using a one-day holding period. For stressed VaR we use a ten-day period. Back testing is used to ensure ourVaR models remain accurate.
The Banking Group measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval which means there is a 99% chance that a loss will not exceed the VaR for the relevant
holding period.

The diversification benefit reflects risks that offset across categories. The high and low VaR figures reported for each factor did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported for
the Banking Group as a whole. Consequently, a diversification benefit for high and low would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the table.

Non-traded market risk
Balance sheet risk management
The principal objectives of balance sheet risk management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate the negative
impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of the Banking Group’s banking book, while ensuring the Banking Group
maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.
Interest rate risk management
Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on the Banking Group’s future net interest
income. This risk arises from two principal sources, namely mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets and liabilities; and theinvestment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities in interest bearing assets. Interest rate risk is reported using VaR and scenario analysis(based on the impact of a 1% rate shock). The table below shows VaR figures for non-traded interest rate risk for the Banking Group.

We undertake scenario analysis to stress test the impact of extreme events on the Banking Group’s market risk exposures. We model a 1% overnight
parallel positive shift in the yield curve to determine the potential impact on our net interest income over the next 12 months. This is a standard risk
measure which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.
The table below shows the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years, expressed as a percentage of reported net
interest income. A positive number signifies that a rate increase is positive for net interest income over the next 12 months.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK – STRUCTURAL EXPOSURES
Where it is considered appropriate, the Banking Group takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated revenue streams(primarily Australian Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). The primary objective of hedging is to ensure that, if practical, the effect of changes inforeign exchange rates on the consolidated capital ratios are minimised.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISKLIQUIDITY RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Banking Group is either:• unable to meet its payment obligations (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) when they fall due; or• does not have the appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and liquidity to fund increases in its assets.
Management of liquidity and funding is overseen by ALCO. The Banking Group’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a set of principles
approved by the Risk Committees of the Bank’s and Ultimate Parent Bank’s Boards and include:• maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in the immediate term;• ensuring that the Banking Group has the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’ under Banking Group specific and general market liquidity stressscenarios to meet cash flow obligations over the short to medium term;• maintaining strength in the Banking Group’s balance sheet structure to ensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;• ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements;• preparing daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis to quantify the Banking Group’s positions;• targeting a diversified funding base to avoid 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 a detailed contingency plan to cover different liquidity crisis events.
KEY AREAS OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIQUIDITY RISKSupervision and regulation
RBNZ requires the Bank to have a comprehensive Board approved liquidity strategy defining: policy, systems and procedures for measuring, assessing,reporting and managing liquidity. This also includes a formal contingency plan for dealing with a liquidity crisis. The Banking Group is required to meet
one week and one month liquidity mismatch ratios and a one year core funding ratio each day.
Scenario modelling
A key component of the Banking Group’s liquidity management framework is scenario modelling.
Potential severe liquidity crisis scenarios which model the behaviour of cash flows where there is a problem (real or perceived) may include, but are
not limited to, operational issues, doubts about the solvency of the Banking Group, or adverse rating changes. Under these scenarios the Banking
Group may have significant difficulty rolling over or replacing funding. The Banking Group’s liquidity policy requires sufficient high quality liquid assets
to be held to meet its liquidity needs for the following 30 calendar days under the modelled scenarios.
As of 30 September 2020 the Banking Group was in compliance with the above scenarios.
Structural balance sheet metrics
The Banking Group’s liquidity management framework also encompasses structural balance sheet metrics such as the RBNZ core funding ratio. These
metrics are designed to limit the amount of wholesale funding required to be rolled over within a 1 year timeframe and so interact with the liquidity
scenarios to maintain the Banking Group‘s liquidity position.
Wholesale funding
The Banking Group’s wholesale funding strategy is designed to deliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances cost efficiency withtargeting diversification by markets, investors, currencies, maturities and funding structures. Short-term and long-term wholesale funding is managed
and executed by Treasury operations.
The Banking Group also uses maturity concentration limits under the wholesale funding and liquidity management framework. Maturity
concentration limits ensure that the Banking Group is not required to issue large volumes of new wholesale funding within a short time period toreplace maturing wholesale funding. Funding instruments used to meet the wholesale borrowing requirement must be on a pre-established list of
approved products.
Funding capacity and debt issuance planning
The Banking Group adopts a conservative approach to determine its funding capacity. Annually, a funding plan is approved by the Bank’s Board. The
plan is supplemented by regular updates and is linked to the Banking Group’s three year strategic planning cycle.

Assets held in the Banking Group’s liquidity portfolio include short term cash held with RBNZ, New Zealand Government securities, securities issued bysupranational agencies, securities issued by highly rated banks and securities issued by State Owned Enterprises, Local Authorities and highly rated
New Zealand domestic corporates. These assets would be accepted as collateral by RBNZ in repurchase transactions. At 30 September 2020, theBanking Group would be eligible to enter into repurchase transactions with a value of NZ$22,552 million (2019: NZ$15,607 million). The Banking
Group also held unencumbered internal residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) which would entitle the Banking Group to enter into
repurchase transactions with a value of NZ$8,184 million at 30 September 2020 (2019: NZ$7,179 million).
Liquidity crisis contingency planning
The Banking Group maintains a liquidity crisis contingency plan to define an approach for analysing and responding to a liquidity-threatening eventon a group wide basis. The framework includes:• the establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;• clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;• early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, and mechanisms to monitor and report these signals;• outlined action plans, and courses of action for altering asset and liability behaviour;• procedures for crisis management reporting, and covering cash-flow shortfalls; and• assigned responsibilities for internal and external communications.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
RESIDUAL CONTRACTUAL MATURITY ANALYSIS OF THE BANKING GROUP’S FINANCIAL LIABILITIESThe tables below provide residual contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities at 30 September 2020 and 30 September 2019 within relevant
maturity groupings. All outstanding debt issuances are profiled on the earliest date on which the Banking Group may be required to pay. The amounts
represent principal and interest cash flows – so they may differ from equivalent amounts reported on the balance sheet.
It should be noted that this is not how the Banking Group manages its liquidity risk. The management of this risk is detailed on page 46.

On adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 October 2019, the Banking Group recognised right-of-use assets of NZ$309 million presented within Premises and equipment and lease liabilities of NZ$333
million presented within Payables and other liabilities. This resulted in a reduction to opening retained earnings of NZ$17 million and an increase in deferred tax assets of NZ$7 million.
Comparative information has not been restated. Refer to Note 1 for further details.

At 30 September 2020, NZ$14 million (2019: NZ$59 million) of the Banking Group’s non-credit related commitments and NZ$31,016 million (2019:
NZ$29,350 million) of its credit related commitments and contingent liabilities mature in less than 1 year, based on the earliest date on which the
Banking Group may be required to pay.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIESThe Banking Group carries a significant number of financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value is the best estimate of theprice that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date.
VALUATION
The Banking Group has an established control framework, including appropriate segregation of duties, to ensure that fair values are accurately
determined, reported and controlled. The framework includes the following features:• products are approved for transacting with external customers and counterparties only where fair values can be appropriately determined;• quoted market prices used to value financial instruments are independently verified with information from external pricing providers;• fair value methodologies and inputs are evaluated and approved by a function independent of the party that undertakes the transaction;• movements in fair values are independently monitored and explained by reference to underlying factors relevant to the fair value; and• valuation adjustments (such as funding valuation adjustments, credit valuation adjustments and bid-offer adjustments) are independently
validated and monitored.
If the Banking Group holds offsetting risk positions, then the Banking Group uses the portfolio exemption in NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (NZ
IFRS 13) to measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. We measure the portfolio based on the price that would bereceived to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.
FAIR VALUE APPROACH AND VALUATION TECHNIQUESWe use valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted
price in an active market exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:
Asset or liability

Fair value approach

Financial instruments classified as:- Trading securities- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities- Investment securities

Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial
instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.

Financial instruments classified as:- Net loans and advances- Deposits and other borrowings- Debt issuances

Discounted cash flow techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the
instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates
for debt with similar maturities or with a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term tomaturity.

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHYThe Banking Group categorises assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by NZ IFRS 13 based on the observabilityof inputs used to measure the fair value:• Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;• Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly; and• Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following table presents assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The following table sets out the Banking Group’s basis of estimating fair values of the financial instruments carried at amortised cost:
Financial asset and liability

Fair value approach

Net loans and advances to banks

Discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for loans with similar credit quality.

Net loans and advances to customers

Present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve that incorporates changes inwholesale market rates, the Banking Group’s cost of wholesale funding and the customer margin,
as appropriate.

Deposit liability without a specified maturity or
at call

The amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We do not adjust the fair value for any
value we expect the Banking Group to derive from retaining the deposit for a future period.

Interest bearing fixed maturity deposits andother borrowings and acceptances withquoted market rates

Market borrowing rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount contractual
cash flows to derive the fair value.

Debt issuances

Calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs as applicable. If quoted market
prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate forthe remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument. The fair value reflects adjustments to credit
spreads applicable to the Banking Group for that instrument.

The financial assets and financial liabilities listed in the table below are carried at amortised cost on the Banking Group’s balance sheet. While this is thevalue at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, the Banking Group provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial
assets and financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Banking Group evaluates the material accuracy of the valuations incorporated in the financial statements as they can involve a highdegree of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date.
The majority of valuation models the Banking Group uses employ only observable market data as inputs. This has not changes as a result of
COVID-19, however, the Banking Group has considered the impact of related economic and market disruptions on fair value measurement
assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs, notably valuation adjustments, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the classification of
exposures in the fair value hierarchy.
For certain financial instruments, we may use data that is not readily observable in current markets. If we use unobservable market data, thenwe need to exercise more judgement to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall
valuation. Generally, we derive unobservable inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices whereavailable.
When establishing the fair value of a financial instrument using a valuation technique, the Banking Group considers valuation adjustments indetermining the fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as bid/offer spreads, credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation
adjustments – refer Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments) to reflect the Banking Group’s assessment of factors that market participants
would consider in setting fair value.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ALLOCATED TO CASH-GENERATING UNITS (CGUs)
Goodwill arose on the acquisition of the NBNZ Holdings Limited group on 1 December 2003, and the carrying amount reflects amortisation
recognised before the application of NZ IFRS from 1 October 2004 and subsequent business disposals. Remaining other intangible assets, relating tofunds management rights, have been assessed as having indefinite useful lives and arose on the acquisition of the ING Holdings (NZ) Limited (nowANZ Wealth New Zealand Limited) group on 30 November 2009.
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are allocated to CGUs as follows:

Impairment expense recognised
On 26 August 2020, ANZ Investment Services (New Zealand) Limited (ANZIS), a subsidiary of the Bank and Manager of the Bonus Bonds Scheme(Bonus Bonds), announced that it intended to start winding up Bonus Bonds no later than 31 October 2020. The wind up formally commenced on 31
October 2020.
ANZIS contributed NZ$28 million of goodwill when it joined the Wealth CGU, which is reported in the Retail segment. As ANZIS ceased charging
Bonus Bonds management fees from 1 September 2020, the recoverable amount of ANZIS operations relating to the management of Bonus Bonds
was considered to be nil, and therefore this goodwill was impaired. This was a value in use assessment, and no discount rate was required as there
were no future cash inflows to discount.
Impairment testing as at 30 September 2020
The annual impairment test is performed as at the end of February each year and, as the Overseas Banking Group’s market capitalisation was below its
net asset value, and considering uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, we assessed the carrying value of goodwill as at 30 September 2020.
Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU
is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and its value-in use (VIU). We use a value-in-use approach to estimate the recoverable
amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated. We also estimated the FVLCOD for each CGU as at 30 September 2020, howeveras the VIU was higher for all CGUs except Institutional, where the FVLCOD was not materially higher, the disclosures below are for the VIU assessment.
Based on this assessment no impairment was identified for any CGU.
VALUE-IN-USE
These calculations use cash flow projections based on a number of financial budgets within each CGU covering an initial forecast period. These
projections also incorporate economic assumptions including GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial property prices, the impactof the restriction imposed by the RBNZ on the payment of ordinary dividends by all New Zealand incorporated registered banks, and theimplementation of the RBNZ’s increased capital requirements. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are extrapolated using the terminal growth rate.
These cash flow projections are discounted using a discount rate derived using a capital asset pricing model.
Future changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential impairmentof part or all of the goodwill balances.

Forecast period and projections

Eight years - an extended forecast period was used to cover the implementation period of the RBNZ’s
increased capital requirements over the period 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2028.

Revenue growth over forecast
periodComprises impacts of net interest margin and volume growth, arising from planned responses to known
regulatory and economic forecasts, and a forecast increase in the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 2.5% by 2028.
Average annual forecast revenue growth varies by CGU as follows: Retail & business banking +5.8%; Wealth+2.7%; Commercial +4.8%; Institutional +0.6%.

Credit impairment over forecast
periodVaries by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2021 to 2023, before returning to long run experience levels for2024 to 2028. Long run experience levels are based on the Banking Group’s bad debts written off, net ofrecoveries, since 2004 of 0.15% of gross loans and advances.
Values applied for 2024 to 2028 (all as a proportion of forecast gross loans and advances) were: Retail &business banking 0.13%; Wealth 0.01%; Commercial 0.22%; Institutional 0.12%.

Terminal growth rate

1.5% - based on 2023 forecast inflation from the RBNZ’s August 2020 Monetary Policy Statement

Discount rate

9.3% (February 2019: 11.1%). Implied pre-tax: Retail & business banking 16.7%; Wealth 16.0%; Commercial
17.1%; Institutional 17.0%. (February 2019: 14.7%).
The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the risk free rate, beta and the market risk
premium. The risk free rate was the traded 10 year New Zealand government bond yield as at 30
September 2020 of 0.46%. The market risk premium was calculated using observed changes in the NZX50
index and average annual traded 10 year New Zealand government bond yields since 2003. Beta wasconsistent with observable measures applied in the regional banking sector.
The 30 September 2020 implied pre-tax discount rates are significantly higher than the post-tax discountrate because of the impact of regulatory capital retention over the forecast period which is not tax effected.

We performed stress tests for key sensitivities in each CGU. A change, considered to be reasonably possible by management, in key assumptions
would not cause the recoverable amounts of the Retail & business banking and Wealth CGUs to exceed their carrying amounts, but would do so for
the Commercial and Institutional CGUs.
A summary of the amounts by which key assumptions for Commercial and Institutional must change in order for their recoverable amounts to equal
their carrying amounts is shown below.

19. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The table below details how we recognise and measure different intangible assets:
Intangible

Goodwill

Software

Other Intangible Assets

Definition

Excess amount the Banking
Group has paid in acquiring abusiness over the fair value lesscosts of disposal of theidentifiable assets and liabilities
acquired.

Purchases of “off the shelf” software
assets are capitalised as assets.

Management fee rights.

Cost less any accumulated
impairment losses.

Initially, measured at cost.

Carrying value

Allocated to the CGU to which
the acquisition relates.

Internal and external costs incurredin building software and computer
systems costing more than NZ$20
million are capitalised as assets.
Those less than NZ$20 million are
expensed in the year in which thecosts are incurred.
Subsequently, carried at cost lessaccumulated amortisation andimpairment losses.

Initially, measured at fair value atacquisition.
Subsequently, carried at cost less
impairment losses.

Costs incurred in planning or
evaluating software proposals or inmaintaining systems after
implementation are not capitalised.
Useful life

Indefinite.
Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment at least annually or
when there is an indication of
impairment.

Except for major core
infrastructure, amortised overperiods between 2-5 years;
however major core infrastructure
may be amortised up to 7 years
subject to approval by the Audit
Committee.

Management fee rights have an
indefinite life and are reviewed for
impairment at least annually or
when there is an indication of
impairment.

Purchased software is amortisedover 2 years unless it is considered
integral to other assets with alonger useful life.
Amortisation
methodNot applicable.

Straight-line method.

Not applicable.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATESManagement judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life ofan asset, or if an asset has an indefinite life. We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.
Goodwill
A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired:• the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are the Group’s four
revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill.
• determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis of corporate
assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated.
• assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported isbased on judgements including the selection of the model and key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount.
The assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU has been made within the context of the ongoing impact of COVID-19, andreflects expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The rapidly evolving consequences of
COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses create heightened uncertainty in these estimates and any variations could
have a positive or adverse impact on the determination of recoverable amounts.

Customer remediation
Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, remediation project costs and related
customer, counterparty and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation outcomes.
Restructuring costs
Provisions for restructuring costs arise from activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by the Banking Group, including
the OnePath separation, or the manner in which that business is undertaken and include employee termination benefits. Costs relating to on-going
activities are not provided for and are expensed as incurred.
Leasehold make good
Provisions associated with leased premises where, at the end of a lease, the Banking Group is required to remove any fixtures and fittings installed in
the leased property. This obligation arises immediately upon installation. Estimated make good costs are added to the leasehold improvement asset(within premises and equipment) upon installation and amortised over the lease term.
Other
Other provisions comprise various other provisions including losses arising from other legal action, operational issues, and warranties and indemnities
provided in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets.

58

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20. OTHER PROVISIONS (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Banking Group recognises provisions where there is a present obligation arising from a past event, an outflow of economic resources isprobable, and the amount of 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 timing and amount of the obligation. 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.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Banking Group holds provisions for various obligations including customer remediation, restructuring costs, leasehold make good andlitigation related claims. These 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.
In relation to customer remediation, determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the costof settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number ofdifferent assumptions, including the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer and the associated remediation
costs. Consequently, the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and otherrelevant evidence and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

Preference shares
The key terms of the preference shares are as follows:
Dividends
Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Directors of the Bank and are non-cumulative. The Bank must not resolve to pay any dividend or makeany other distribution on its ordinary shares until the next preference dividend payment date if the dividend on the preference shares is not paid.
Should the Bank elect to pay a dividend, the dividend is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill rateplus a 325 basis point margin, multiplied by one minus the New Zealand company tax rate, with dividend payments due on 1 March and 1 September
each year.
Redemption features
The preference shares are redeemable, subject to prior written approval of RBNZ, by the Bank providing notice in writing to holders of the preference
shares:• on any date on or after a change to laws or regulations that adversely affects the regulatory capital or tax treatment of the preference shares; or• on any dividend payment date; or• on any date if the Bank has ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent Bank.
The preference shares may be redeemed for nil consideration should a non-viability trigger event occur.
The preference shares qualify as AT1 capital for RBNZ’s capital adequacy purposes.

22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENTCAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGYThe Banking Group’s core capital objectives are to:• protect the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders;• ensure the safety and soundness of the Banking Group’s capital position; and• ensure that the capital base supports the Banking Group’s risk appetite, and strategic business objectives, in an efficient and effective manner.
The Board holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring that capital adequacy is maintained. This includes: setting, monitoring and obtaining assurance for
the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) policy and framework; standardised risk definitions for all material risks;materiality thresholds; capital adequacy targets; internal capital principles; and risk appetite.
The Banking Group has minimum and trigger levels for common equity tier 1, tier 1 and total capital that ensure sufficient capital is maintained to:• meet minimum prudential requirements imposed by regulators;• ensure consistency with the Banking Group’s overall risk profile and financial positions, taking into account its strategic focus and business plan;and• support the internal risk capital requirements of the business.
ALCO and its related Capital Management Forum are responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining the Banking Group's ICAAP
framework, including ongoing monitoring, reporting and compliance. The Banking Group’s ICAAP is subject to independent and periodic review.
Throughout the year, the Banking Group maintained compliance with RBNZ’s minimum capital ratios.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTAs the Bank is a registered bank in New Zealand, it is primarily regulated by RBNZ under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989. The Bank mustcomply with the minimum regulatory capital requirements, capital ratios and specific reporting levels that RBNZ sets. RBNZ requirements are
summarised below:
Regulatory capital definition

Minimum capital ratios

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital

Comprises ordinary share capital, retained
earnings, and certain accounting reserves. Someamounts (e.g. the value of goodwill) must be
deducted to determine the final value of CET1

must be at least 4.5%.

Tier 1 capital

CET1 capital plus additional tier 1 instruments,
which comprise high-quality capital and must:• provide a permanent and unrestrictedcommitment of funds;• be freely available to absorb losses; andprovide for fully discretionary capital
distributions.

Tier 1 capital divided by total risk weighted assets
must be at least 6.0%.

Total capital

Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 instruments
include some subordinated instruments andaccounting reserves that are not included in Tier
1 capital. Some amounts are deducted indetermining the value of Tier 2 instruments.

Total capital divided by total risk weighted assets
must be at least 8.0%.

Capital buffer

The Capital buffer is actual CET1 capital in excess
of any of the minimum capital requirements
imposed on the Bank.

Capital buffer divided by total risk weighted assets
should be at least 2.5%.

Reporting levels
Solo consolidated

The registered bank plus subsidiaries which are funded exclusively and wholly owned by theregistered bank.

Banking GroupThe registered bank’s consolidated group.

The Banking Group does not own ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust and Kingfisher NZ Trust 2008-1. Control exists as the Banking Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of theoperations. Details of the Banking Group’s interest in consolidated structured entities is included in Note 24 Structured Entities.

Changes in controlled entities
UDC was sold to Shinsei Bank on 1 September 2020 (refer to Note 26 Divestments).
Arawata Finance Limited and Karapiro Investments Limited amalgamated with the Bank on 30 September 2020.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Banking Group subsidiaries are those entities it controls through:• being exposed to, or having rights to, variable returns from the entity; and• being able to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The Banking Group assesses whether it has power over those entities by examining the Banking Group’s existing rights to direct the relevant
activities of the entity.

62

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

24. STRUCTURED ENTITIESA Structured Entity (SE) is an entity that has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls theentity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s
returns) are directed by means of contractual arrangement. A SE 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• financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).
SEs are classified as subsidiaries and consolidated when control exists. If the Banking Group does not control a SE, then it is not consolidated. This note
provides information on both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs.
The Banking Group’s involvement with SEs is as follows:Type

Details

Securitisation

The Banking Group uses the Kingfisher NZ Trust 2008-1 (the Kingfisher Trust) to securitise residential mortgages
that it has originated, in order to diversify sources of funding for liquidity management. The Kingfisher Trust is aninternal securitisation (bankruptcy remote) vehicle we created for the purpose of structuring assets that are eligible
for repurchase under agreements with RBNZ (these are known as ‘Repo eligible’).
The Banking Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Kingfisher Trust and has the ability
to affect those returns through its power over the Kingfisher Trust’s activities. The Kingfisher Trust is therefore
consolidated.
As at 30 September 2020 and 30 September 2019, the Banking Group had not entered into any repurchaseagreements with RBNZ for residential mortgage backed securities issued and therefore no collateral had been
accepted by RBNZ under this facility.
Additionally, the Banking Group may acquire interests in securitisation vehicles set up by third parties throughproviding lending facilities to, or holding securities issued by, such entities.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust(the Covered Bond Trust)

Substantially all of the assets of the Covered Bond Trust are made up of certain housing loans and related
securities originated by the Bank which are security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited astrustee of the Covered Bond Trust of issuances of covered bonds by the Bank, or its wholly owned subsidiary ANZ
New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, from time to time. The assets of the Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditorsof the Bank, although the Bank (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against the residual assetsof the Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all prior ranking creditors of the Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.
The Banking Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Covered Bond Trust and has theability to affect those returns through its power over the Covered Bond Trust’s activities. The Covered Bond Trust istherefore consolidated.

Structured financearrangements

The Banking Group is involved with SEs established:• in connection with structured lending transactions to facilitate debt syndication and/or to ring-fencecollateral; and• to own assets that are leased to customers in structured leasing transactions.
The Banking Group may provide risk management products (derivatives) to the SE.
In all instances, the Banking Group does not control these SEs. Further, the Banking Group’s involvement does notestablish more than a passive interest in decisions about the relevant activities of the SE, and accordingly we do
not consider that interest disclosable.

Funds management activities The Banking Group is the scheme manager for a number of Managed Investment Schemes (MIS). These MIS
include the ANZ and OneAnswer branded KiwiSaver, retail and wholesale schemes and the Bonus Bonds Scheme.
These MIS are financed through the issue of units to investors and the Banking Group considers them to be SEs.
The Banking Group’s interests in these MIS are limited to receiving fees for services or providing risk management
products (derivatives). These interests do not create significant exposures to the MIS that would allow the Banking
Group to control the funds. Therefore, these MIS are not consolidated.

63

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
24. STRUCTURED ENTITIES (continued)
CONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIESFinancial or other support provided to Consolidated Structured Entities
The Bank provides lending facilities, derivatives and commitments to the Kingfisher Trust and the Covered Bond Trust and/or holds debt instrumentsthat they have issued. The Bank did not provide any non-contractual support to consolidated SEs during the year (2019: nil).
UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIESThe Banking Group’s interest in Unconsolidated Structured Entities
An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated SE is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement with a SE that exposes the Banking Group to variabilityof returns from the performance of that SE. These interests include, but are not limited to: holdings of debt or equity securities; derivatives that pass onrisks specific to the performance of the SE; lending; loan commitments; financial guarantees; and fees from funds management activities.
For the purpose of disclosing interests in unconsolidated SEs:
• no disclosure is made if the Banking Group’s involvement is not more than a passive interest - for example: when the Banking 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 Banking Group to
participate in decisions about the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns).
• ‘interests’ do not include derivatives intended to expose the Banking Group to market risk (rather than performance risk specific to the SE) or
derivatives through which the Banking Group creates, rather than absorbs, variability of the unconsolidated SE (such as purchase of credit
protection under a credit default swap).
The Banking Group earned funds management fees from its MIS of NZ$197 million (2019: NZ$198 million) during the year. As at 30 September 2020,
the Banking Group had total funds under management of NZ$35.2 billion (2019: NZ$34.1 billion) of which NZ$21.2 billion (2019: NZ$20.6 billion)
related to its MIS, with the largest individual fund being approximately NZ$3.5 billion (2019: NZ$3.3 billion).
The Banking Group did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2019: nil): nor does it have any current
intention to provide financial or other support to unconsolidated SEs.
SPONSORED UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIESThe Banking Group may also sponsor unconsolidated SEs in which it has no disclosable interest.
For the purposes of this disclosure, the Banking Group considers itself the ‘sponsor’ of an unconsolidated SE if it is the primary party involved in thedesign and establishment of that SE and:• the Banking Group is the major user of that SE; or• the Banking Group’s name appears in the name of that SE, or on its products; or• the Banking Group provides implicit or explicit guarantees of that SE’s performance.
The Bank has sponsored the ANZ PIE Fund, which invests only in deposits with the Bank. The Banking Group does not provide any implicit or explicit
guarantees of the capital value or performance of investments in the ANZ PIE Fund. There was no income received from, nor assets transferred to, thisentity during the year.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Significant judgement is required in assessing whether control exists over Structured Entities involved in securitisation activities,
structured finance transactions and investment funds. Judgement is required in relation to the existence of:• power over the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); and• exposure to variable returns of that entity.

64

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

25. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETSIn the normal course of business the Banking Group enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets directly to third parties. These transfers
may give rise to the Banking Group fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on the Banking Group’s exposure to the risks
and rewards or control over the transferred assets. If the Banking Group retains substantially all of the risk and rewards of a transferred asset, thetransfer does not qualify for derecognition and the asset remains on the Banking Group’s balance sheet in its entirety.
Covered bonds
The Banking Group operates a covered bond programme to raise funding. Refer to Note 24 Structured Entities for further details. The covered bonds
issued externally are included within debt issuances.
Repurchase agreements
When the Banking Group sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which we retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership,then those assets do not qualify for derecognition. An associated liability is recognised for the consideration received from the counterparty.
The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities:

Includes holdings of units in the ANZ PIE Fund (a sponsored unconsolidated structured entity) which are invested solely in deposits of the Bank.

Loans made to KMP and their related parties are made in the ordinary course of business on normal commercial terms and conditions no morefavourable than those given to other employees or customers, including the term of the loan, security required and the interest rate. No amounts
have been written off or forgiven, or individually assessed allowances for expected credit losses raised in respect of these balances (2019: nil).
All other transactions with KMP and their related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Thesetransactions generally involve the provision of financial and investment services. In addition to the amounts above:• Aggregate amounts for each of unsecured loans and advances, interest expense, fee income, insurance premium income, debt issuances andcollectively assessed credit impairment charge and allowance for expected credit losses were less than NZ$1 million for both years presented.
• KMP and their related parties also hold units in MIS managed by the Banking Group. Transactions and balances in respect of these, MIS holdings
are not disclosed because those MIS are unconsolidated structured entities and not included in the financial statements of the Banking Group.

NZ$0.1 million).
• Some KMP pay the Banking Group for the use of carparks in premises owned or leased by the Banking Group. These amounts were less than
NZ$0.1 million (2019: less than NZ$0.1 million).
Transactions with other members of the Overseas Banking Group and associates

are expected to be only partially used, and others may never be used at all. As such, the total of the nominal principal amounts is not necessarily
representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements. Based on the earliest date on which the Banking Group may be required to pay, thetotal undrawn facilities of NZ$28,273 million (2019: NZ$26,600 million) mature within 12 months.
GUARANTEES, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND PERFORMANCE RELATED CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees, letters of credit and performance related contingencies relate to transactions that the Banking Group has entered into as principal –including: guarantees, standby letters of credit and documentary letters of credit.
Documentary letters of credit involve the Banking Group issuing letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter. They are 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 Banking Group to make payments to a third party if the customer fails to fulfil its nonmonetary obligations under the contract.
To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, we apply the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements that weapply to loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that we could lose if the counterparty fails to meet its financial
obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. Basedon the earliest date on which the Banking Group may be required to pay, the total guarantees and letters of credit of NZ$1,309 million (2019:
NZ$1,248 million) and total performance related contingencies of NZ$1,434 million (2019: NZ$1,502 million) mature within 12 months.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

28. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)
OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIESThere are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against the Banking Group. Where relevant, expert legal advice has beenobtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions (refer to Note 20 Other Provisions) and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In
some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or becausesuch disclosure may prejudice seriously the interests of the Banking Group.
Regulatory and customer exposures
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which the Banking Group engages with its regulators. There have also beensignificant increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement actions (whether by court action
or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against
financial institutions both in New Zealand and globally. The Banking Group has received various notices and requests for information from its
regulators as part of both industry-wide and Banking Group-specific reviews, and has also made disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation. The
nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, may include a range of matters including responsible lending practices, regulated
lending financial transactions, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealthadvice, insurance distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money
laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation. There may be
exposures to customers which are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class actions, individual claims or customer
remediation or compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.
Commerce Commission settlement
Between June 2015 and May 2016, the Bank had an issue with a loan calculator which meant some interest to be charged to customers was left out
when calculating their repayments or loan term. On 2 March 2020, the Commerce Commission announced it had agreed with the Bank that the Bank
would pay some customers affected by the issue a further NZ$29.4 million, in addition to the NZ$8.4 million the Bank has paid previously. All amounts
in relation to this matter were provided for in the period to 30 September 2019. These payments are nearing completion.
Reviews under section 95 of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 (RBNZ Act)
On 5 July 2019, the RBNZ issued a notice under section 95 of the RBNZ Act, requiring the Bank to obtain two external reviews, the first on the Bank’s
compliance with certain aspects of the RBNZ Banking Supervision Handbook document Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal Models Based Approach)(BS2B) and the second on the effectiveness of the Bank’s directors’ attestation and assurance framework.
• The director attestation and assurance framework review was completed in December 2019, and the Bank is committed to implementing therecommendations identified and addressing the issues raised. On 11 December 2019, the RBNZ issued a further notice under section 95 of the
RBNZ Act, requiring the Bank to obtain an external review of the improvements made to the Bank’s directors’ attestation and assurance
framework. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in May 2020, the RBNZ agreed to extend the time period for addressing the directors’attestation recommendations, subject to the Bank obtaining an external interim review, assessed as at March 2021, with a final review of theBank’s directors’ attestation and assurance framework being assessed as at September 2021.
• The report regarding the Bank's compliance with the RBNZ's capital adequacy requirements was completed in April 2020. This report identified
instances of both current and historical non-compliance with capital adequacy requirements. The Bank has accepted the findings of this review,
and is working with the RBNZ to rectify the issues identified. The RBNZ has stated that it is confident the Bank will resolve this matter without
issue, and has emphasised that the Banking Group remains sound and well capitalised. In May 2020, a detailed remediation plan, which includes
key dates on model submissions, was submitted to the RBNZ. The Bank also submitted the first tranche of model documentation to RBNZ in
August 2020, a key milestone in the section 95 models remediation. In October 2020, the RBNZ notified the Bank that it should obtain an
external interim review of certain remediation activities relating to the report on capital adequacy requirements, assessed as at March 2021, witha final review of those activities being assessed as at September 2021 (to reflect the close relationship between these improvements and thosebeing undertaken for directors’ attestation and assurance).
The Section 95 reviews have highlighted the need for a broader programme of improving the Bank's processes covered by those reviews, and thisprogramme is underway.
Warranties and indemnities
The Banking Group has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the purchaser in connection with various disposals of
businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties,
indemnities and commitments.

not contravene auditor independence requirements. KPMG New Zealand may not provide services that are perceived to be in conflict with the role ofthe external auditor or breach auditor independence. These include consulting advice and subcontracting 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.

REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)
Details of ultimate parent bank and ultimate holding company
The ultimate parent bank and ultimate holding company of the Bank is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (Ultimate Parent Bank). The
address for service of the Ultimate Parent Bank is ANZ Centre, Melbourne, Level 9, 833 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria 3008, Australia.
Restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support
Effect of APRA’s Prudential Standards
The Banking Group is subject to extensive prudential regulation by APRA. APRA’s current or future requirements may have an adverse effect on the
Bank’s business, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or financial condition.
APRA Prudential Standard APS 222 Associations with Related Entities (APS 222) sets minimum requirements for authorised deposit-taking institutions(ADIs) in Australia, including the Ultimate Parent Bank, in relation to the monitoring, management and control of risks which arise from associations
with related entities and also includes maximum limits on intra-group financial exposures.
Under APS 222, the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support to the Bank is subject to the following restrictions:• the Ultimate Parent Bank should not undertake any third party dealings with the prime purpose of supporting the business of the Bank;• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not hold unlimited exposures (i.e. should be limited as to specified time or amount) in the Bank (e.g. not provide
a general guarantee covering any of the Bank’s obligations);• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not enter into cross-default clauses whereby a default by the Bank on an obligation (whether financial orotherwise) triggers or is deemed to trigger a default by the Ultimate Parent Bank on its obligations; and• the level of exposure, net of exposures deducted from capital, of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 total capital base to the Bank should notexceed: (A) 50% on an individual exposure basis; or (B) 150% in aggregate (being exposures to all similar regulated ADI equivalent entities
related to the Ultimate Parent Bank).
In August 2019, APRA announced that it will amend APS222 to reduce the limits for Australian ADIs’ individual entity exposure to related ADIs (oroverseas equivalents) from 50% of Level 1 total capital to 25% of Level 1 Tier 1 capital, and aggregate exposures from 150% of Level 1 total capital to75% of Level 1 Tier 1 capital. As exposures are measured net of capital deductions, the proposed changes to APRA’s capital regulations (contained in
APS111 – as defined below) will affect the measurement of ADI exposures. The implementation date for these changes has been deferred by APRA to
1 January 2022 (12 month deferral from initial implementation date of 1 January 2021).
In October 2019, APRA released a discussion paper on draft revisions to the prudential standard APS111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital(APS111) for consultation. The most material change arising from APRA's proposal is in relation to the treatment of capital investments for eachbanking and insurance subsidiary at Level 1, with the tangible component of the investment changing from a 400% risk weighting to:• 250% risk weighting up to an amount equal to 10% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s net Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital; and• the remainder of the investment will be treated as a CET1 capital deduction.
In November 2020, APRA further announced, that until the new APS111 is finalised and implemented, APRA will require any new or additional equity
investments in banking and insurance subsidiaries, where the amount of that new or additional investments takes the aggregate value of theinvestment above 10 per cent of an ADI’s CET1 capital, to be fully funded by equity capital at the ADI parent company level. This treatment would
apply to the proportion of the new or additional investment that is above 10 per cent of an ADI’s CET1 capital.
The Ultimate Parent Bank continues to review the implications for its current investments. The net impact on the Overseas Banking Group is unclear
and will depend upon a number of factors including the capitalisation of the affected subsidiaries at the time of implementation, the final form of theprudential standard, as well as the effect of management actions being pursued that have the potential to materially offset the impact of these
proposals. Based on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s current investment as at 30 September 2020 in its affected subsidiaries and in the absence of any
offsetting management actions, the above proposals imply a reduction in the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 CET1 capital of up to approximately AUD
2.5 billion (~70 basis points). There would be no impact on the Overseas Banking Group's Level 2 CET1 capital ratio arising from these proposedchanges. The proposed implementation date of 1 January 2021 for these changes is currently under review by APRA and is expected to be delayed to
1 January 2022. In addition, APRA has confirmed that by 1 January 2021, no more than 5% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital base cancomprise non-equity exposures to its New Zealand operations (including its subsidiaries incorporated in New Zealand, such as the Banking Group andthe New Zealand Branch) during ordinary times. This limit does not include holdings of capital instruments or eligible secured contingent funding
support provided to the Bank during times of financial stress.
APRA has also confirmed that contingent funding support by the Ultimate Parent Bank to the Bank during times of financial stress must be provided
on terms that are acceptable to APRA. At present, only covered bonds meet APRA’s criteria for contingent funding.
Effect of the Level 3 framework
In addition, certain requirements of APRA’s Level 3 framework relating to, among other things, group governance and risk exposures became effective
on 1 July 2017. This framework also requires that the Ultimate Parent Bank must limit its financial and operational exposures to subsidiaries (including
the Bank).
In determining the acceptable level of exposure to a subsidiary, the Board of the Ultimate Parent Bank should have regard to:• the exposures that would be approved for third parties of broadly equivalent credit status;• the potential impact on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s capital and liquidity positions; and• the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to continue operating in the event of a failure by the Bank.
These requirements are not expected to place additional restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial or operational support
to the Bank.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTREGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES
B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)
Other APRA powers
The Ultimate Parent Bank may not provide financial support in breach of the Australian Banking Act 1959 (the Banking Act). Under the Banking Act:
• APRA must exercise its powers and functions for the protection of a bank’s depositors in Australia and for the promotion of financial systemstability in Australia; and• in the event of a bank becoming unable to meet its obligations or suspending payment, the assets of the bank in Australia are to be available tomeet that bank’s deposit liabilities in Australia in priority to all other liabilities of the bank.
The requirements of the Banking Act and the exercise by APRA of its powers have the potential to impact the management of the liquidity of the
Bank.
Interests in 5% or more of voting securities of the BankThe Immediate Parent Company holds 100% of the voting securities of the Bank. The Immediate Parent Company has the direct ability to appoint
100% of the Directors of the Bank, subject to RBNZ advising that it has no objection to the appointment in accordance with the Bank’s conditions ofregistration. RBNZ also has the power under section 113B of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989, after obtaining the consent of the Minister ofFinance, to remove, replace, or appoint directors in certain circumstances.
Priority of creditors’ claims
In the event that the Bank was put into liquidation or ceased to trade, claims of secured creditors and those creditors set out in Schedule 7 of theCompanies Act 1993 would rank ahead of the claims of unsecured creditors. Customer deposits are unsecured and rank equally with other unsecured
liabilities of the Bank, and such liabilities rank ahead of any subordinated instruments issued by the Bank.
Guarantees
The Bank has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of covered bonds issued by its subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited. Thisobligation is guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered
Bond Trust. The Covered Bond Guarantor’s address for service is Level 9, 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, New Zealand. The Covered Bond Guarantor is
not a member of the Banking Group and has no credit ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations. The covered bonds have been
assigned a long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Refer to page 35 for further details, and topage 53 for the amount of assets of the ANZ Covered Bond Trust pledged as security for covered bonds.
No other material obligations of the Bank are guaranteed as at 17 November 2020.
Auditors
KPMG, 18 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland, New Zealand.
Directors
Any document or communication may be sent to any Director at the Registered Office. The document or communication should be marked for theattention of that Director.
Transactions with Directors
No Director has disclosed that he/she or any immediate relative or professional associate has any dealing with the Banking Group which has been
either entered into on terms other than those which would in the ordinary course of business be given to any other person of like circumstances ormeans or which could otherwise be reasonably likely to influence materially the exercise of the Director’s duties as a Director of the Bank.
Board Audit Committee
There is a Board Audit Committee which covers audit matters. The committee has six members. Each member is a non-executive Director, themajority of whom satisfy the criteria for independence.
Policy of the Board of Directors for avoiding or dealing with conflicts of interest
In order to ensure that members of the Board are reminded of their disclosure obligations under the Companies Act 1993, the Board has adopted a
protocol setting out the procedures for Directors to follow to disclose and manage conflicts of interest. This protocol will be reviewed annually. In
addition:• at least once in each year, Directors are requested to confirm and disclose, in terms of section 140(1) of the Companies Act 1993, any interests
which they have with the Bank itself. Directors are reminded at this time of their obligation under the Companies Act 1993 to disclose promptly
any transaction or proposed transaction with the Bank in which they have an interest.
• Directors are also requested to confirm and make a general disclosure of their interest in other entities in terms of section 140(2) of theCompanies Act 1993.
In addition to the disclosures referred to above, Directors disclose relevant interests which they have before discussion of particular business items.
Disclosures are entered into the Bank’s Interests Register. The Companies Act 1993 allows a Director with an interest in a transaction to participate indiscussions and to vote on all matters relating to that particular transaction. However, under the protocol the Board has adopted a guideline whereby
a Director with an interest in a transaction should not be present during any discussions, and should not vote, on any matter pertaining to thatparticular transaction.

REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)
Non-compliance with conditions of registrationa) Condition of Registration 1B – non-compliance with BS2B
A review of the Bank’s compliance with the RBNZ’s capital adequacy requirements was undertaken under section 95 of the RBNZ Act and wascompleted in April 2020. The Bank has accepted the improvements identified in the review, and is working to rectify its processes. The RBNZ has
stated that it is confident the Bank will resolve this matter without issue, and has emphasised that the Banking Group remains sound and wellcapitalised.
As first reported in the disclosure statement for the year ended 30 September 2019, the Bank has not complied with condition of registration 1B in
relation to the implementation of changes to rating models and processes that were not approved by the RBNZ.
Applying the last RBNZ approved methodologies to the affected exposures as at 30 September 2019 would have decreased Risk Weighted Assets(RWA) by NZ$47 million (0.05%) in aggregate, which was not sufficient to affect the reported capital ratios.
Affected models and the initial dates of non-compliance are:• Commercial Property Model Suite (Single Investment, Multi Investment, Hotel Investment, Special Purpose Asset Investment, Single Residential
Development, Commercial Development, Englobo Land Pre Development) - 2011
• Non-Bank Financial Institutions Model Suite (Life Insurance, Non-life Insurance, Insurance Holding Company, Finance Companies, Financial
Services Companies, Real Money Funds) - 2009
• Project and Structured Finance - 2009
• Bank, Country & Sovereigns - 2008
The Bank’s model compendium required under section 1.3B of BS2B was found to be non-compliant as it included unapproved model changes.
The first tranche of remediated models was submitted to RBNZ for approval in August 2020, and the second tranche was submitted in November
2020. Remediation of the remaining models is expected to be submitted to RBNZ in 2021.
Further to the above, in May 2020 the Bank identified that its approach to enhancing wholesale risk grades in the presence of a guarantee was notcompliant with BS2B. The estimated impact as at 31 March 2020 was an understatement of RWA of NZ$26 million (0.03%), which is not sufficient toaffect the reported capital ratios. The Bank has updated the calculation of RWA as at 30 September 2020 in line with the approach agreed with RBNZ.
b) Condition of Registration 1B – historical non-compliance with BS2B
The Bank has identified one counterparty that had been misclassified as sovereign, inconsistent with the definition in BS2B paragraph 4.5, since
December 2017. The estimated impact as at 31 March 2020 was an understatement of RWA of NZ$383 million (0.38%), and an overstatement of the
Banking Group’s capital ratios of 0.05%. This issue was corrected for the calculation of RWA from 30 April 2020, and did not result in non-compliancewith the Bank’s conditions of registration over the year ended 30 September 2020. However, until 31 December 2018, Condition of Registration 1B
required compliance with all aspects of BS2B and, as a result, the Bank had not complied with Condition of Registration 1B in respect of this matter
between December 2017 and 31 December 2018.
c) Condition of Registration 5 - Exposures to connected persons not on more favourable terms (BS8)As first reported in the disclosure statement for the year ended 30 September 2019, from time to time, the Bank provides a guarantee or standby letterof credit to a third party in respect of an obligation of a customer of the Ultimate Parent Bank. The Ultimate Parent Bank provides a counter-guarantee
or standby letter of credit to the Bank, giving the Bank recourse directly to the Ultimate Parent Bank if the guarantee or standby letter of credit the
Bank provides in respect of the customer's obligations is called upon. The Bank charges the Ultimate Parent Bank a fee for this service. However,through an internal review, the Bank identified that since January 2014 this fee had been lower than the fee charged for this same service provided tounrelated banks and, as a result, the Bank has not complied with condition of registration 5.
The Bank has implemented a revised pricing methodology for all new transactions entered into from 1 January 2020. The Bank has also retrospectively
applied the revised pricing methodology to all such transactions, including those where the Bank has provided a similar counter-guarantee or standby
letter of credit to the Ultimate Parent Bank, that were active during the year ended 30 September 2020, resulting in additional net income of less than
NZ$1 million.
d) Condition of Registration 13 - Liquidity ratios (BS13)
The following were reported as matters of non-compliance with BS13 in the disclosure statement for the year ended 30 September 2019. These
matters were not sufficient to affect the reported liquidity ratios.
• The liquidity ratio calculation system and the system of record for certain bond liabilities and certain swaps calculate future cash flows
differently. The difference had been known since 2017. Processes have been updated with effect from 31 January 2020 to ensure thecalculations comply with BS13.
• Since 2010, the Bank has calculated the next cash inflow on variable-rate housing loans based on a current wholesale rate plus the existingmargin rather than using the current interest rate. The Bank has sought further guidance from the RBNZ on this matter (refer to f) below) as theappropriate process is a matter of interpretation of BS13.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTREGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES
B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)e) Condition of Registration 21 – Outsourcing (BS11 updated April 2020)
BS11 requires the Bank to have a compendium of information about outsourcing arrangements.
• During the year ended 30 September 2020, the Bank identified the following instances of data discrepancies in relation to the compendium: 146
data errors; 10 arrangements not entered into the compendium within 20 working days; and 12 instances of incomplete information recorded
against arrangements in the compendium. The matters were assessed by the RBNZ as relatively minor and were all corrected during the year
ended 30 September 2020. As at the date of last issue to the RBNZ (14 September 2020), the Bank’s Condition of Registration 21 compendium
contained 132 remediated arrangements with a total of 2,112 data fields.
• In August 2020, the RBNZ notified the Bank that omitting upfront costs in certain entries in the Bank’s 2019 compendium without formal
dispensation was a relatively minor breach of BS11. Upfront costs were included in the Bank’s updated compendium submitted to the RBNZ in
September 2020.
BS11 requires the Bank to apply specified risk mitigants against each outsourcing arrangement.
• During the year ended 30 September 2019, the Bank outsourced two arrangements to the Overseas Banking Group without the requiredprescribed contractual terms. These arrangements were remediated in December 2019.
• During the six months ended 31 March 2020, one of the Bank’s independent third party contracts expired nine days before a replacement
contract was entered into. During those nine days the relevant outsourcing arrangement did not include the prescribed contractual terms.
• During the year ended 30 September 2020, the Bank outsourced one arrangement to the Overseas Banking Group without the requiredprescribed contractual terms. This arrangement was remediated in June 2020.
f)

Other matters relating to potential non-compliance with the conditions of registration

There are several matters under review, including the calculation of the liquidity ratios (under BS13 and BS13A), and the measurement of security
indicators for commercial customers with home loans (under BS2B, but not considered to affect compliance with the current conditions ofregistration), where there may be more than one interpretation of the respective policy wording or requirement. Where there may be someuncertainty about the interpretation the Bank has applied, where appropriate, it has sought further guidance from the RBNZ on these matters. In the
Bank’s current view, the potential impact of the application of other interpretations is immaterial to reported ratios.
Other material matters
RBNZ review of capital requirements
Between May 2017 and December 2019, the RBNZ conducted a comprehensive review of the capital adequacy framework applying to New Zealand
locally incorporated registered banks. The RBNZ's final decisions on the capital review as they relate to the Bank are set out below. In response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the RBNZ has delayed the start date for the increased capital requirements to support credit availability, with further delays
possible if the conditions warrant it. The new regime is expected to be implemented in stages from 1 July 2021.
• The Banking Group’s total capital requirement will increase to 18% of RWA, including tier 1 capital of at least 16% of RWA. Up to 2.5% of the tier 1
capital requirement can be made up of additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, with the remainder of the tier 1 requirement made up of common equity
tier 1 (CET1) capital. The increased capital ratios requirement will be implemented progressively from 1 July 2022 to 1 July 2028. AT1 capital must
consist of perpetual preference shares, which may be redeemable. The total capital requirement can also include tier 2 capital of up to 2% of
RWA. Tier 2 capital must consist of long-term subordinated debt.
• The tier 1 capital requirement will include a CET1 prudential capital buffer of 9% of RWA. This will include: a 2% domestic, systemically importantbank capital buffer; a 1.5% 'early-set' counter-cyclical capital buffer, which can be temporarily reduced to 0% following a financial crisis, or
temporarily increased to prevent asset price bubbles from developing; and a 5.5% capital conservation buffer.
• Contingent capital instruments will no longer be treated as eligible regulatory capital. As at 30 September 2020, the Bank had approximately
NZ$2,741 million of AT1 instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over a seven year transition period from 1
July 2021 to 1 July 2028.
• As an internal ratings based approach accredited bank, the Banking Group’s RWA outcomes will be increased to approximately 90% of what
would be calculated under the standardised approach. This will be achieved by applying an 85% output floor from 1 January 2022, andincreasing the credit RWA scalar from 1.06 to 1.20 from 1 October 2022.
• The Banking Group will be required to report RWA, and resulting capital ratios, using both the internal models and the standardised approaches
from 1 January 2022.
The RBNZ’s reforms will result in a material increase in the level of capital that the Banking Group is required to hold, although the amount of theincrease is currently uncertain. The reforms could have a material impact on the Banking Group and its business, including on its capital allocation andbusiness planning.
The Banking Group has started preparing for the changes. Since 30 September 2018, CET1 capital has increased by NZ$2.9 billion to NZ$11.9 billion at
30 September 2020 and total capital has increased by NZ$2.8 billion to NZ$14.7 billion.

Impacts of changes in gross financial assets on loss allowances - total

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of gross loans and advances contributed to changes in loss allowance
Overall, loss allowances are 0.5% of gross balances as at 30 September 2020, up from 0.4% as at 30 September 2019. The NZ$259 million (43.6%)
increase in loss allowances was driven by an increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in the forward looking
economic scenarios and changes in probability weightings as described in Note 12 to the financial statements.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of residential mortgages contributed to changes in loss allowance
While gross balances have increased, and there has been a small increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, the NZ$26
million (33.8%) increase in loss allowances on residential mortgage exposures is primarily driven by changes in the forward looking economic
scenarios and changes in probability weightings as described in Note 12 to the financial statements. Overall loss allowances and individually impaired
exposures remain low, reflecting that approximately 94% of on-balance sheet residential mortgage exposures have loan to valuation ratios notexceeding 80% (refer to page 97).

amounts, and an increase in the proportion of Stage 2 and Stage 3 collectively assessed exposures. Overall loss allowances and individually impaired
exposures remain low, reflecting that approximately 95% of on-balance sheet residential mortgage exposures have loan to valuation ratios notexceeding 80%.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of corporate exposures contributed to changes in loss allowance
While there has been a small increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, the NZ$269 million (72.3%) increase in loss
allowances is primarily driven by changes in the forward looking economic scenarios and changes in probability weightings as described in Note 12 to
the financial statements, partially offset by the reduction in exposures from the sale of UDC and amounts written-off.

The Banking Group has an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) which complies with the requirements of the Bank's Conditions ofRegistration. Under the Banking Group's ICAAP it identifies and measures all "other material risks", which are those material risks that are not explicitly
captured in the calculation of the Banking Group's tier 1 and total capital ratios. The other material risks identified by the Banking Group include
pension risk, strategic equity risk, fixed asset risk, deferred acquisition cost risk and software risk. The Banking Group's internal capital allocation forthese other material risks is NZ$293 million. (2019: NZ$272 million).

The Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group are required to hold minimum capital as determined by APRA, which is at least equal tothat specified under the Basel III capital framework.
APRA has authorised the Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group to use:
• the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets. There are however small portfolios(mainly retail and local corporates in Asia Pacific) where the Overseas Banking Group applies the standardised approach.
• the AMA for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.
The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the minimum capital requirements set by APRA as at 30 September 2020 and for the comparative priorperiods.
The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 30 September 2020. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar
3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 30 September 2020, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses
capital adequacy ratios and other prudential information. This document can be accessed at the website anz.com.
Regulatory liquidity ratios
RBNZ requires banks to hold minimum amounts of liquid assets to help ensure that they are effectively managing their liquidity risks. The mismatch
ratio is a measure of a bank’s liquid assets, adjusted for expected cash inflows and outflows during a 1-month or 1-week period of stress. It is expressed
as a ratio over the bank’s total funding. The Banking Group must maintain its 1-month and 1-week mismatch ratios above zero on a daily basis. The 1month and 1-week mismatch ratios are averaged over the quarter.
RBNZ requires banks to get a minimum amount of funding from stable sources called core funding. From 2 April 2020, the minimum amount of corefunding was lowered from 75% to 50% of a bank’s total loans. The Banking Group must maintain its core funding ratio above the regulatory minimum
on a daily basis. This measure of the core funding ratio is averaged over the quarter.

Credit exposures to connected persons
The information on credit exposure to connected persons has been derived in accordance with the RBNZ Banking Supervision Handbook document
Connected Exposures Policy (BS8), is net of individual credit impairment allowances and excludes advances to connected persons of a capital nature.
Peak end-of-day aggregate exposure
Peak end-of-day aggregate credit exposure to connected persons as a ratio to tier 1 capital for the full year accounting period is derived bydetermining the maximum end-of-day aggregate amount of credit exposure over the accounting period and then dividing that amount by the
Banking Group’s tier 1 capital as at the reporting date.
Rating contingent limit
The rating-contingent limit that applied to the Banking Group as at 30 September 2020 was 60%. No limit changes have occurred over the year to 30
September 2020. Within the overall rating-contingent limit, there is a sub-limit of 15% of tier 1 capital that applies to the aggregate credit exposure tonon-bank connected persons.
Additional requirements for aggregate credit exposure to connected persons
Aggregate credit exposure to connected persons has been calculated on a partial bilateral net basis. The gross amounts and amounts netted off
under a bilateral netting agreement are included in the table above. There is a limit of 125% of the Banking Group’s tier 1 capital in respect of the grossamount of aggregate credit exposure to connected persons that can be netted off in determining the net exposure.
Aggregate amount of contingent exposures arising from risk lay-off arrangements
NZ$264 million of contingent exposures of the Banking Group to connected persons arose from risk lay-off arrangements in respect of credit
exposures to counterparties (excluding counterparties that are connected persons) as at 30 September 2020.
Loss allowance for credit-impaired credit exposures to connected persons
There were no loss allowances provided against credit exposures to connected persons as at 30 September 2020.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTREGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES
B8. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIESInformation about risk
The success of the Banking Group’s strategy is underpinned by our sound management of the Banking Group’s risks. All of the Banking Group’s
activities involve - to varying degrees - the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of risks or combinations of risks.
The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing the Banking Group’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board
has delegated authority to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with the Banking
Group’s risk management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities.
The key pillars of the Banking Group’s RMF include:•

the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that the Banking
Group is prepared to accept in pursuing its strategic objectives and its business plan; and•the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes the Banking Group’s strategy for managing risks and a summary of
the key elements of the RMF that give effect to that strategy. The RMS includes: a description of each material risk; and an
overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference to the relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also
includes information on how the Banking Group identifies, measures, evaluates, monitors, reports and then either controls
or mitigates material risks.

The material risks facing the group per the Banking Group’s RMS, and how these risks are managed are summarised below.

Key Material Risks
Each key material risk has an associated RAS, and where applicable, is measured by appropriate metric(s) and associated tolerance(s) representing the
maximum level of risk appropriate to execute the Banking Group’s strategic agenda. Metrics are prepared and reviewed at least monthly. A risk
appetite dashboard is prepared and reviewed by senior management monthly, and presented to the BRC at each meeting.
Risk Type

Description

Managing the Risk

Strategic
Risk

Risks that affect or are created by an organisation’s businessstrategy and strategic objectives. Strategic risk might arise
from making poor strategic business decisions, from thesub-standard execution of decisions, from inadequate
resource allocation, or from a failure to respond well tochanges in a business environment.

We consider and manage strategic risks through our annual strategicplanning process, managed by the Executive Committee andapproved by the Board. Where the strategy leads to an increase in
Key Material Risks (e.g. Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk) therisk management strategies associated with these risks form theprimary controls.

CapitalAdequacy
Risk

The risk of loss arising from the Banking Group failing tomaintain the level of capital required by prudential
regulators and other key stakeholders (shareholders, debt
investors, depositors, rating agencies, etc.) to support the
Banking Group’s consolidated operations and risk appetite.

We pursue an active approach to Capital Management throughongoing review, and Board approval, of the level and composition of
our capital base against key policy objectives.

CreditRisk

The risk of financial loss resulting from:• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting
in a financial loss.

Our Credit Risk framework is top down, being defined by credit
principles and policies. Credit policies, requirements and procedures
cover all aspects of the credit life cycle - for example: transaction
structuring, risk grading, initial approval, ongoing management andproblem debt management, as well as specialist policy topics.

Credit Risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending
to customers who could be impacted by climate change orby changes to laws, regulations, or other policies adopted
by governments or regulatory authorities, including carbon
pricing and climate change adaptation or mitigation
policies.

The effectiveness of the Credit Risk framework is assessed throughvarious compliance and monitoring processes. These, together withportfolio selection, define and guide the credit process, organisationand staff.

Includes:• concentrations of credit risk;• intra-day credit risk;• credit risk to bank counterparties; and• related party credit risk.
MarketRisk

The risk to the Banking Group’s earnings arising from:• changes in any interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
credit spreads, volatility, and correlations; or• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

Our risk management and control framework for Market Risk involves
us quantifying the magnitude of market risk within the trading andbalance sheet portfolios through independent risk measurement.
This identifies the range of possible outcomes, the likely timeframe,
and the likelihood of the outcome occurring. Then we allocate an
appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.
The Banking Group’s key tools to measure and manage Market Risk
on a daily basis include value at risk, earnings at risk, interest ratesensitivities, market value loss limits and stress testing.

Description

Managing the Risk

Liquidity
andFunding
Risk

The risk that the Banking Group is unable to meet its
payment obligations as they fall due, including:• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or• the Banking Group having insufficient capacity to fundincreases in assets.

Key principles in managing our Liquidity and Funding Risk include:• maintaining our ability to meet liquidity ‘survival horizons’
under a range of stress scenarios to meet cash flow obligations
over a short to medium term horizon;• maintaining a strong structural funding profile; and• maintaining a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets to act as asource of liquidity in times of stress.

Operational
Risk

The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with laws resulting
from inadequate or failed internal processes, people
and/or 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/or systems; but excludes strategicrisk.

We operate a three-lines-of-defence model to manage Operational
Risk, with each line of defence having defined roles, responsibilities
and escalation paths to support effective communication andeffective management of our operational risk. We also haveongoing review mechanisms to ensure Operational Risk andCompliance Framework continues to meet organisational needs
and regulatory requirements.

Compliance Risk
The risk of failure to act in accordance with laws,
regulations, industry standards and codes, internal policies
and procedures and principles of good governance asapplicable to the Banking Group’s businesses.

Conduct and Reputation Risk
The risk of loss that directly or indirectly impacts earnings,
capital adequacy or value, that is caused by:• adverse perceptions of the Banking Group held by anyof our customers, the community, shareholders,investors, regulators, or rating agencies;• conduct risk associated with the Banking Group’s
employees or contractors (or both); or the social orenvironmental (or both) impacts of our lending
decisions.

Key features of how we manage Compliance Risk as part of our
Operational Risk and Compliance Framework include:• centralised management of key obligations, and emphasis on
identifying changes in regulations and the businessenvironment, so as to enable us to proactively assess emerging
compliance risks and implement robust reporting andcertification processes.
• recognition of incident management as a separate element toenhance the Banking Group’s ability to identify, manage andreport on incidents/breaches in a timely manner.
• the Whistleblower Protection Policy allowing employees andcontractors to make confidential, anonymous submissions
regarding concerns relating to accounting, internal control,
compliance, audit and other matters.
We manage Conduct and Reputation Risk by maintaining a
positive and dynamic culture that:• ensures we act with integrity; and• enables us to build strong and trusted relationships withcustomers and clients, with colleagues, and with the broader
society.
We have well established decision-making frameworks and policies
to ensure our business decisions are guided by sound social andenvironmental standards that take into account Conduct and
Reputation Risk.

Refer to Note 15 Financial Risk Management for the disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

Other Material Risks
Risks where the maximum level of risk is set as part of the Banking Group’s ICAAP. These risks do not require the same degree of active or transactional
management as the Key Material Risks and are managed and monitored as part of the Banking Group’s business, strategic and capital management
process. For more information about the Banking Group’s ICAAP refer to the section ‘Capital for other material risks’ in Note B4.
PensionRisk

The risk of the value of investments in a defined benefit pension fund being insufficient to meet liabilities resulting in additional
funds being required to match pension liabilities.

Strategic
Equity Risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the unexpected reduction in value of equity investments not held in the trading book.

Fixed Asset
Risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the negative revaluation of fixed assets owned and leased, caused by adverse changes inbusiness and/or economic conditions. Residual Value Risk is included in the definition of Fixed Assets, which is the risk that themarket value of the underlying assets of operating leases may fall below the anticipated residual value.

Deferred

Internal Audit Function of the Banking Group
The Banking Group has an Internal Audit Function, refer to Note 15 Financial Risk Management for details.
The nature and scope of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee responsibilities, to which Internal Audit reports, are to assist the Board of Directors
by providing oversight and review of:• the Banking Group's financial reporting principles and policies, controls, systems and procedures;• the effectiveness of the Banking Group’s internal control and risk management framework;• the work and internal audit standards of Internal Audit which reports directly and solely to the Chair of the Audit Committee;• the integrity of the Banking Group's financial statements and the independent audit thereof, and the Banking Group’s compliance with legal
and regulatory requirements in relation thereto;• any due diligence procedures;• prudential supervision procedures and other regulatory requirements to the extent relating to financial reporting; and• any other matters referred to it by the Board.
The Audit Committee is also responsible for:• the appointment, annual evaluation and oversight of the external auditor;• annual review of the independence, fitness and propriety, and qualifications of the external auditor;• compensation of the external auditor; and• where deemed appropriate, replacement of the external auditor.
In carrying out its responsibilities and duties, the Audit Committee will aim to seek fair customer outcomes and financial market integrity in its
deliberations.
Measurement of impaired assets
Refer to Note 12 Allowance for Expected Credit Losses and Note 15 Financial Risk Management for details of the Banking Group’s approach tomeasurement of impaired assets. Further to this, impairment is assessed monthly, with individual allowances for credit impairment also updated
monthly and collective allowances for credit impairment updated quarterly.
Credit risk mitigation
Refer to Note 18 Offsetting for the policies and processes for, and extent of, on-balance sheet netting. The same policies and processes apply to offbalance sheet credit related commitments. No off-balance sheet credit related commitments or guarantees meet the criteria for netting.
As an AIRB bank, the Banking Group uses the comprehensive method to measure the mitigating effects of collateral.
The Banking Group assesses the integrity and ability of counterparties to meet their contractual financial obligations for repayment. The Banking
Group generally takes collateral security in the form of real property or a security interest in personal property, except for major government, bank andcorporate counterparties of strong financial standing. Longer term consumer finance, in the form of housing loans, is generally secured against realestate while short term revolving consumer credit is generally unsecured.
Additional information about credit risk
Implementation of the advanced internal ratings based approach to credit risk measurement
The Banking Group adheres to the standards of risk grading and risk quantification as set out for IRB banks in the RBNZ document Capital Adequacy
Framework (Internal Models Based Approach) (BS2B).
Under this IRB Framework banks use their own measures for calculating the level of credit risk associated with customers and exposures, by way of the
primary components of:• Probability of Default (PD): An estimate of the level of risk of borrower default graded by way of rating models used both at loan origination andfor ongoing monitoring.
• Exposure at Default (EAD): The expected facility exposure at default. Total credit risk-weighted exposures include a scalar of 1.06 in accordancewith the Bank’s Conditions of Registration.
• Loss Given Default (LGD): An estimate of the potential economic loss on a credit exposure, incurred as a consequence of obligor default andexpressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD. For Retail Mortgage exposures the Bank is required to apply the downturn LGDs according toloan to value (LVR) bands as set out in BS2B. For farm lending exposures the Banking Group is required to adopt RBNZ prescribed downturn LVR
based LGDs, along with a minimum maturity of 2.5 years and the removal of the firm-size adjustment.
For exposures classified under Specialised Lending, the Banking Group uses slotting tables approved by RBNZ rather than internal estimates.
The exceptions to IRB treatment are three minor portfolios where, due to systems constraints, determining these IRB risk estimates is not currently
feasible or appropriate. Risk weights for these exposures are calculated under a separate treatment as set out in the RBNZ document Capital Adequacy
Framework (Standardised Approach) (BS2A).

Controls surrounding credit risk rating systems
The term “Rating Systems” covers all of the methods, processes, controls, data collection and technology that support the assessment of credit risk, theassignment of internal credit risk ratings and the quantification of associated default and loss estimates.
All material aspects of the Rating Systems and risk estimate processes are governed by the BRC. Risk grades are an integral part of reporting to senior
management and executives. Management and staff of credit risk functions, in conjunction with the relevant Retail and Wholesale Risk Committees,
regularly assess the performance of the rating systems, identify any areas for improvement and monitor progress on previously identified
development work needed.
The Banking Group's Rating Systems are governed by a comprehensive framework of controls that operate at the business unit and support centres,
and through central audit and validation processes. All policies, model designs, model reviews, methodologies, validations, responsibilities, systems
and processes supporting the ratings systems are fully documented.
The Banking Group's Retail and Wholesale ratings functions work closely with the Ultimate Parent Bank's risk ratings functions, are independent ofoperational lending activities and are responsible for the ratings strategies and ongoing management of credit risk models within New Zealand. The
annual review of models used across the Banking Group is a function undertaken by the ANZ Decision Model Validation Unit, which is also
independent of credit risk operational functions and is responsible for overseeing the design, implementation and performance of all rating models in
the Banking Group.
The target approach to modelling for the Banking Group is to deploy the model most suitable for the environment. At present this involves anapproach to modelling that combines models developed in New Zealand and models developed by the Ultimate Parent Bank, tested and validated
for use in New Zealand, as appropriate.

ANZ BANK NEW ZEALAND LIMITED 2020 ANNUAL REPORTINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTKEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial
statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit procedures to address those matters in order that theshareholder as a body may better understand the process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context
of and solely for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express discrete
opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.
Key changes in the assessment of audit risks
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant additional risks across a number of areas of the business, particularly the assessment of the provision
for credit impairment. All forward looking assumptions are inherently more uncertain during these unprecedented times. While the key audit matter“Allowance for Expected Credit Loss”, detailed below, is unchanged from last year, the underlying audit risk has increased which impacted the extent
and nature of audit evidence that we had to gather.
ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSESThe key audit matter
Allowance for expected credit losses is a key audit matter due to the significance of the loans and advances balance to the consolidated financial
statements and the inherent complexity of the Banking Group’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) models used to measure ECL allowances. These models arereliant on data and a number of estimates including impacts of multiple economic scenarios, and other assumptions such as defining a Significant
Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) which in a COVID environment have greater uncertainties.
NZ IFRS 9 requires the Banking Group to measure ECLs on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of future economic conditions, including forwardlooking assumptions, of which GDP and unemployment levels are considered key assumptions. Post-model adjustments to the ECL results are also
made by the Banking Group to address known ECL model limitations or emerging trends in the loan portfolios. We exercise significant judgement inchallenging both the economic scenarios used and the judgemental overlays that the Banking Group applies to the ECL results.
The Banking Group’s criteria selected to identify a SICR, such as a decrease in customer credit rating (CCR), are key areas of judgement within the
Banking Group’s ECL methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 12 month or lifetime allowance is recorded.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that assumptions regarding the economic outlook are more uncertain which, combined with varying
government responses, increases the level of judgement required by the Banking Group in calculating the ECL, and the associated audit risk.
Additionally, allowances for individually assessed wholesale loans exceeding specific thresholds are individually assessed by the Banking Group. We
exercise significant judgement in challenging the assessment of specific allowances based on the expected future cash repayments and estimatedproceeds from the value of the collateral held by the Banking Group in respect of the loans.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for the allowance for ECL and disclosures included assessing the Banking Group’s significant accounting policies against therequirements of the accounting standard. KPMG Financial Risk Management and Economic specialists were used in ECL audit procedures as a core
part of our audit team.
We tested key controls in relation to:
•
•
•
•
•

The Banking Group’s ECL model governance and validation processes which involved assessment of model performance;
The Banking Group’s assessment and approval of the forward looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenario weightings through challenge
applied by the Banking Group’s internal governance processes;
Reconciliation of the data used in the ECL calculation process to gross balances recorded within the general ledger as well as source systems;
Counterparty risk grading for wholesale loans (larger customer exposures are monitored individually). We tested the approval of new lending
facilities against the Banking Group’s lending policies, and controls over the monitoring of counterparty credit quality; andThe Banking Group’s oversight of the portfolios, with a focus on controls over delinquency monitoring.

We also tested relevant General Information Technology Controls (GITCs) over the key IT applications used by the Banking Group in measuring ECL
allowances, as detailed in the IT systems and Controls key audit matter below.
In addition to controls testing, our procedures included:
•

•
•
•
110

Re-performing credit assessments of a sample of wholesale loans controlled by the Banking Group’s specialist workout and recovery team, who
assessed these as higher risk or impaired, and a sample of other loans, focusing on larger exposures assessed by the Banking Group as showing
signs of deterioration, or in areas of emerging risk (assessed against external market conditions and in particular considered the impacts of
COVID-19). For each loan sampled, we challenged the Banking Group’s CCR and Security Indicator (SI), assessment of loan recoverability,
valuation of security and the impact on the credit allowance. To do this, we reviewed the information on the Banking Group’s loan file,understood the facts and circumstances of the case with the relationship manager, and performed our own assessment of recoverability.
Exercising our judgement, our procedures included using our understanding of relevant industries and the macroeconomic environment, andcomparing data and assumptions used by the Banking Group in recoverability assessments to externally sourced evidence, such as commodity
prices and external property sale information;
Obtaining an understanding of the Banking Group’s processes to determine ECL allowances, evaluating the Banking Group’s ECL model
methodologies against established market practices and criteria in the accounting standards;
Working with KPMG Financial Risk Management specialists, we assessed the accuracy of the Banking Group’s ECL model estimates by reperforming, for a sample of loans, the ECL allowance using our independently driven calculation tools and comparing this to the amountrecorded by the Banking Group;
Working with our KPMG Economic specialists, we challenged the Banking Group’s forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenarios

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT••

incorporated in the Banking Group’s ECL models. We compared the Banking Group’s forecast GDP and unemployment rates to relevant publicly
available macro-economic information, and considered other known variables and information obtained through our other audit procedures to
identify contradictory indicators;
Testing the implementation of the Banking Group’s SICR methodology by re-performing the staging calculation for a sample of loans taking into
consideration movements in the CCR from loan origination CCR and comparing our expectation to actual staging applied on an individual
account level in the Banking Group’s ECL model; andAssessing the accuracy of the data used in the ECL models by confirming a sample of data fields such as account balance and CCR to relevant
source systems.

We also challenged key assumptions in the components of the Banking Group’s post-model adjustments to the ECL allowance balance. This included:••••

Assessing the requirement for other additional allowances considering the Banking Group’s ECL model and data deficiencies identified by the
Banking Group’s ECL model validation processes, particularly in light of the extreme volatility in economic scenarios caused by the current
COVID-19 pandemic and government responses;
Evaluating underlying data used in concentration risk and economic cycle allowances by comparing underlying portfolio characteristics to loss
experience, current market conditions and specific risks inherent in the Banking Group’s loan portfolios;
Assessing the impacts on the modelled ECL and the requirement for out of model adjustments to account for the portion of customers on loandeferral packages that are not aged. We also assessed assumptions used to determine whether a SICR event has occurred; andAssessing the completeness of additional allowance overlays by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the portfolios against the
Banking Group’s assessment.

We assessed the appropriateness of the Banking Group’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements using our understanding obtained fromour testing and against the requirements of NZ IFRS.
VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The key audit matter
The fair value of the Banking Group’s financial instruments is determined by the Banking Group through the application of valuation techniques which
often involve the exercise of judgement and the use of assumption and estimates.
The valuation of Level 2 financial instruments held at fair value is a key audit matter due to the complexity associated with the valuation methodology
and models of certain more complex Level 2 financial instruments leading to an increase in subjectivity and estimation uncertainty. Level 2 financial
instruments represent 42% of the Banking Group’s financial assets carried at fair value and 98% of the Banking Group’s financial liabilities carried at fairvalue.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for the valuation of financial instruments held at fair value included:
Performing an assessment of the population of financial instruments held at fair value to identify portfolios that have a higher risk of misstatement
arising from significant judgment over valuation either due to unobservable inputs or complex models.
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating specifically to these financial instruments, including:
•
•
•
•
•

Testing the Banking Group’s data validation controls. Controls in relation to Independent Price Verification (IPV), including completeness of
portfolios and valuation inputs subject to IPV;
Controls in relation to model validation at inception and periodically, including assessment of model limitation and assumptions;Controls in relation to the review and challenge of daily profit and loss (P&L) by a control function;
Control over the collateral management process, including review of margin reconciliations with clearing houses; andControls over fair value adjustments (FVAs), including exit price and portfolio level adjustments.

With the assistance of KPMG valuation specialists, we independently revalued a selection of financial instruments and FVAs on level 2 instruments. This
involved sourcing independent inputs from market data providers or external sources and using our own valuation models. We challenged the
Banking Group where our revaluations significantly differed from the Banking Group’s.
We assessed the Banking Group’s consolidated financial statement disclosures, including key judgements and assumptions using our understanding
obtained from our testing and against NZ IFRS.
IT SYSTEMS AND CONTROLSThe key audit matter
As a major New Zealand bank, the Banking Group’s businesses utilise a large number of complex, interdependent Information Technology (IT) systems
to process and record a high volume of transactions. Controls over access and changes to IT systems are critical to the recording of financial
information and the preparation of a financial report which provides a true and fair view of the Banking Group’s financial position and performance.
The IT systems and controls, as they impact the financial recording and reporting of transactions, is a key audit matter and our audit approach could
significantly differ depending on the effective operation of the Banking Group’s IT controls.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We tested the control environment for key IT applications used in processing significant transactions and recording balances in the general ledger. We
also tested automated controls embedded within these systems which support the effective operation of technology-enabled business processes.
KPMG IT specialists were used throughout the engagement as a core part of our audit team.
Our audit procedures included:•

Assessing the governance and higher-level controls in place across the IT environment, including the approach to the Banking Group policy
design, review and awareness;

Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls across the User Access Management Lifecycle, including how users are on-boarded,
reviewed, and removed on a timely basis from critical IT applications and supporting infrastructure. We also examined how privileged roles andfunctions are managed across each IT application and the supporting infrastructure;
Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls in place over change management, including how changes are initiated, documented,
approved, tested and authorised prior to migration into the production environment of critical IT applications. We also assessed theappropriateness of users with access to make changes to IT applications across the Banking Group;
Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls used by the Banking Group’s technology teams to schedule system jobs and monitor
system integrity;
Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls related to significant IT application programs per the ANZ Delivery Framework; andDesign and operating effectiveness testing of automated business process controls including those that enforce segregation of duties between
conflicting roles within IT applications, configurations in place to perform calculations, mappings, and flagging of financial transactions,
automated reconciliation controls (both between systems, and intra-system) and data integrity of critical system reporting used by us in our
audit to select samples and analysis data used by management to generate financial reporting.

PROVISION FOR CUSTOMER REMEDIATIONThe key audit matter
The Banking Group has assessed the need to recognise provisions in relation to certain customer remediation activities arising from both internal andexternal investigations, and reviews. This includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, remediation project costs
and related customer, counterparty and regulatory claims, penalties, and litigation outcomes.
The provision for customer remediation is a key audit matter due to the judgements required in assessing the Banking Group’s determination of:••••

The existence of a present legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event using the conditions of the event against the criteria in theaccounting standards;
The number of investigations and the quantum of amounts being paid arising from the present obligations;
Reliable estimates of the amounts that may be paid arising from investigations, including estimates of related costs; andThe potential for legal proceedings, further investigations, and reviews from its regulators leading to a wider range of estimation outcomes for
us to consider.

How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for customer remediation provisions included:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Obtaining an understanding of the Banking Group’s processes for identifying and assessing the potential impact of the investigations into
customer remediation payments, related project costs and legal proceedings associated with compliance matters, investigations and reviews
from its regulators;
Enquiring with the Banking Group regarding ongoing legal, and regulatory matters, and investigation into other remediation activities;
Enquiring with external legal counsel;
Reading the minutes and other relevant documentation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited’s Board of Directors and various management
committees, and attending ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited’s Audit and Risk Committee meetings;
Inspecting correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies;
For a sample of individual matters, assessing the basis for recognition and measurement of a provision and associated costs against therequirements of the accounting standards. We did this by understanding and challenging the provisioning methodologies and underlying
assumptions;
Testing completeness by evaluating all current customer remediation matters identified by the Banking Group and checking these exposuresagainst the criteria defining a provision or a contingency in the accounting standards; andEvaluating the related disclosures using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of NZ IFRS.

COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY OF RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURESThe key audit matter
The Banking Group has increased its focus on related party disclosures. We also reassessed the risk of completeness and accuracy of related party
disclosures. We consider the increased risk to primarily arise from transactions with key management personnel and their related parties.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for related party disclosures included:
•
•
•
•
•
•

112

Challenging the Banking Group’s definition of related parties and related party transactions;
Testing the key control over the Banking Group’s process for identifying key management personnel, their related parties and their transactions
and balances;
Sample testing the related parties identified, by searching the Directors’ Interests Register and public records to identify companies controlled
by key management personnel or their close family members;
Agreeing a sample of key management personnel compensation, transactions and balances identified by the Banking Group to approval
documents and source systems;
Sample testing the Banking Group’s core bank system to identify undisclosed balances with key management personnel and their relatedparties; andEvaluating the Banking Group’s assertion that key management personnel transactions are on normal commercial terms by testing a sample oftransactions and comparing the terms offered to those offered to other employees or customers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTCARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL
The key audit matter
Carrying value of goodwill is a key audit matter as:
The wide ranging impact of COVID-19 has increased the potential for impairment and our audit effort in this area. Significant judgement was requiredby the Banking Group as a result of the current COVID-19 environment and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s increased capital requirements overthe period 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2028. COVID-19 has caused significant estimation uncertainty and as a result there is increased judgement inforecasting cash flows and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment assessment.
These conditions and the uncertainty of their continuation increase the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a significantly wider range of possible outcomes
and therefore the possibility of goodwill being impaired.
The Banking Group’s goodwill impairment assessment is sensitive to small changes in revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, discount rates,
future maintainable earnings, market multiples and control premium assumptions. This drives additional audit effort.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior team members in assessing this key audit matter.
Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

In accordance with accounting standards, assessing the reasonableness of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which the Banking Group
allocated goodwill;
Reconciling the movement in goodwill including the reasonableness of the allocation of goodwill to the disposal of UDC and the impairment of
goodwill on wind-up of Bonus Bonds;
Considering the appropriateness of the valuation methods applied by the Banking Group, being value in use (VIU) and fair value less costs ofdisposal (FVLCOD) to perform their annual test for impairment against the requirements of the accounting standards;
Assessing the integrity of the VIU model and the FVLCOD model used by the Banking Group, including the accuracy of the underlying
calculation formulae;
Assessing key assumptions used in the FVLCOD model, such as, future maintainable earnings, the control premium comparing the implied
multiples from comparable market transactions to the implied multiple used in the model;
Having considered the reasonableness of the FVLCOD model, performing a cross check against the Banking Group’s VIU model for each CGU to
identify any inconsistences in assumptions;Comparing the forecast cash flows contained in the VIU model to the Banking Group’s revised strategic plans, reflecting the low interest rateenvironment, the increased regulatory minimum capital requirements and COVID-19 impacts;
Assessing the accuracy of previous Banking Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the VIU model;
For each CGU, assessing the Banking Group’s key assumptions used in the VIU model, including discount rates, revenue growth rates, andterminal growth rates by comparing to external observable metrics, historical experience, our knowledge of the markets and current market
practice;
Stress testing key VIU assumptions to consider reasonably possible alternatives, including long term OCR forecasts and forecast lending growth;
Determining with reference to our analysis of both FVLCOD and VIU, whether there is sufficient appropriate evidence to support the Banking
Group’s conclusion that there is no impairment in goodwill associated with any CGU; andAssessing the disclosures in the financial statements against the requirements of the accounting standards.

OTHER INFORMATIONThe Directors, on behalf of the Banking Group, are responsible for the general disclosures required to be included in the Banking Group’s DisclosureStatement in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Order (section B1).
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover section B1 (referred to as ‘other information’) and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider

QUALIFIED REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4 RELATING TO
CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND REGULATORY LIQUIDITY RATIOS (SECTION B4)
We have reviewed the registered bank disclosures, as disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2020,
which are required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.
Based on our review, with the exception of the matter described below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios, disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement, is not, in all material
respects disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.

BASIS FOR QUALIFIED CONCLUSION ON THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4
A review of the registered bank disclosures in section B4 in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries,
primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our responsibilities underthat standard are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the registered bank disclosures in section B4’ section of ourreport.
As the auditor of the Banking Group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial
statements.
As described in section B1, the Banking Group has identified that it was not compliant with Condition of Registration 1B in relation to the operation ofversions of the following rating models and processes, which were not approved by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (in some cases since 2008):••••

Commercial property Model Suite (single investment, multi-investment, Hotel Investment, Special Purpose Asset investment, Single Residential
Development, Englobo Land Pre Development);
Non-Bank Financial Institutions Model Suite (Life Insurance, Non-Life Insurance, Insurance Holding Company, Finance Companies, Financial
Services Companies, Real Money Funds);
Project and Structured Finance; andBank, Country and Sovereigns.

In this respect, the Capital Adequacy Ratios disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement have not been disclosed in accordance with Schedule
11 of the Order, with section B1 disclosing the Banking Group’s calculation of the corresponding impact on risk weighted assets. The Banking Group is
working with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to remediate this matter.
The above matters do not affect the Regulatory Liquidity information, which is also disclosed in section B4.
