to assist in the completion of Reporting Form ARF 110.0 Capital Adequacy.

This form sets out the calculation of regulatory capital and associated capital ratios for an ADI at Level 1 and Level 2.[1] In completing these forms, ADIs should refer to Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy (APS 110) and Prudential Standard Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS 111).

General directions and notes
Reporting entity

The form is to be completed at Level 1 and Level 2 by all ADIs other than foreign ADIs and providers of purchased payment facilities.

If an ADI is a subsidiary of a NOHC, the report at Level 2 is to be provided by the ADI's immediate parent NOHC.[2]

Securitisation deconsolidation principle

Except as otherwise specified in these instructions, the following applies:

     1.              Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group[3]) participates in a securitisation that meets APRA's operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under Prudential Standard APS 120 Securitisation (APS 120):

        1.           special purpose vehicles (SPVs) holding securitised assets may be treated as non-consolidated independent third parties for regulatory reporting purposes, irrespective of whether the SPVs (or their assets) are consolidated for accounting purposes;

        2.           the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the relevant SPVs may be excluded from the ADI's reported amounts in APRA's regulatory reporting returns; and

        3.           the underlying assets (i.e. the pool) under such a securitisation may be excluded from the calculation of regulatory capital (refer to APS 120). However, the ADI must still hold regulatory capital for the securitisation exposures[4] that it retains or acquires and such exposures are to be reported in Reporting Form ARF 120.1 Securitisation – Regulatory Capital. The risk-weighted assets (RWA) relating to such securitisation exposures must also be reported in ARS 110.0.

     1.              Where an ADI (or a member of its Level 2 consolidated group) participates in a securitisation that does not meet APRA's operational requirements for regulatory capital relief under APS 120, or the ADI undertakes a funding-only securitisation or synthetic securitisation, report such assets as on-balance sheet in APRA's regulatory reporting returns. In addition, these assets must also be reported as a part of the ADI's total securitised assets within Reporting Form ARF 120.2 Securitisation – Supplementary Items.

Capital treatment of joint arrangements

For capital adequacy purposes, ADIs must apply equity accounting for all joint arrangements, including joint ventures and joint operations.

Unit of measurement

This form must be completed in Australian dollars (AUD) in whole dollars with no decimal place.

Amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to AUD in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 121 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.[5]

Percentages are to be reported as an unconverted number
