General instructions
Reporting tables
Tables described in this reporting standard list each of the data fields required to be reported. The data fields are listed sequentially in the column order that they will appear in the reported data set. Constraints on the data that can be reported for each field have also been provided.
Any specific combination of values in a table must not appear on more than one row in that table when reported.
Look-through treatment
For asset and liability items that have been treated on a look-through basis for the purpose of Prudential Standard HPS 114 Capital Adequacy: Asset Risk Charge (HPS 114), report the effective underlying exposures after adjustments for look-through as well as their resultant impacts on capital base respectively.
Derivative treatment
All items should be reported gross of impacts from derivatives. Report the fair value of open derivative positions under derivatives (liabilities) and derivatives (assets).
Assets subject to stress
Exclude from the calculation of Asset Risk Charge all components of assets that are either:
· deducted from total assets for the purpose of determining the capital base; or
· subject to the Asset Concentration Risk Charge.
Include investment income receivable with the asset that generated the income.
Asset stress scenario
Private health insurers are not required to report the components of impact on the fund’s capital base for asset stress scenarios where it is determined that those scenarios would improve the capital base (i.e. result in a zero-risk charge component) as at the end of the relevant reporting period.
Private health insurers must report all asset stress scenarios that would give rise to a positive risk charge component.
Definitions
Terms highlighted in bold italics indicate that the definition is provided in these instructions.
A
Adjusted pre-stress amount | This is the value of relevant items of the health benefits fund or general fund. Report amounts before the application of any designated asset stresses, net of the effect of any look-through adjustments and applying the fair value requirement outlined in Prudential Standard HPS 112 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (HPS 112) and HPS 114. |
Aggregated risk charge component | This is the aggregated result of applying the aggregation formula set out in HPS 114 to the capital base for each risk charge component. The formula allows for the likelihood of the asset risk stress scenarios occurring simultaneously. |
Amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held (Items subject to Asset Risk Charge type) | This is the value of amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held. This includes reinsurance premiums that are due to be paid, all unpaid instalment reinsurance premiums, reinsurer’s portion of recoveries, and commissions due to reinsurers. This also includes deposits withheld from reinsurers. For reinsurance contracts held, if there is a legal right of set-off within the underlying reinsurance contracts, report the amount after set-off against other amounts receivable from the reinsurer under that reinsurance contract. If the amount is a net receivable position from the reinsurer, report the amount under amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held. If there is not a legal right of set-off, report the amount payable without set-off. Also refer to the definition of amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held. Amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held is netted against reinsurance contract assets or added to reinsurance contract liabilities under AASB 17. This must exclude any amount already allowed in insurance liabilities determined under Prudential Standard HPS 340 Insurance Liability Valuation (HPS 340) to avoid double counting. This amount must be consistent with amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held reported in Reporting Standard HRS 112.0 Determination of Capital Base (HRS 112.0). |
Amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held (Items subject to Asset Risk Charge type) | This is the value of amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held. This includes reinsurance recoverables on paid claims. For reinsurance contracts held, if there is a legal right of set-off within the underlying reinsurance contracts, report the amount after set-off against other amounts payable to the reinsurer under that reinsurance contract. If the amount is a net payable position to the reinsurer, report the amount under amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held. If there is not a legal right of set-off, report the receivable amount without set-off. Also refer to the definition of amounts payable on reinsurance contracts held. Amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held is netted against reinsurance contract liabilities or added to reinsurance contract assets under AASB 17. This must exclude any amount already allowed in insurance liabilities determined under HPS 340 to avoid double counting. This amount must be consistent with amounts receivable on reinsurance contracts held reported in HRS 112.0. |

For inwards reinsurance business, where there is a legal right of set-off within the underlying reinsurance contract, report under this item if the amount after set-off results in a net payable position to the cedant. If there is not a legal right of set-off, report the amount payable without set-off. Also refer to the definition of premiums receivable. Claims payable is netted against insurance contract assets or added to insurance contract liabilities under AASB 17.
