Objective of this Reporting Standard
This Reporting Standard sets out the requirements for the provision of information to APRA in relation to a life insurer’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
It includes associated specific instructions and must be read in conjunction with Reporting Standard LRS 001 Reporting Requirements (LRS 001), including the instruction guide.
Authority
1. This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.
Purpose
2. The information reported to APRA under this Reporting Standard is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with capital adequacy standards.
Application and commencement
3. This Reporting Standard applies to all life insurance companies other than friendly societies (referred to as life insurers) registered under the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Life Act). This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2023.
Information required
4. A life insurer must provide APRA with the information required by this Reporting Standard for each reporting period.
5. The information reported to APRA under this Reporting Standard is not required to be given to policy owners pursuant to section 124 of the Life Act. It does not constitute a reporting document for the purposes of section 124.
Method of submission
6. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA:
(a) in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website; or
(b) by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
Reporting periods and due dates
7. Subject to paragraph 8, a life insurer must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard:
(a) in respect of each quarter based on the financial year of the life insurer on an unaudited basis; and
(b) in respect of each financial year of the life insurer on an audited basis.
Note 1: This means that information provided under this Reporting Standard will be submitted five times for a full financial year.
Note 2: The annual audited information provided under this Reporting Standard must be submitted in conjunction with the annual auditor’s report, as required under Prudential Standard LPS 310 Audit and Related Matters.
8. If, having regard to the particular circumstances of a life insurer, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more or less frequently than as provided by subparagraph 7(a) or 7(b), APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specify reporting periods, for the particular life insurer.
9. The information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of a life insurer must be provided to APRA:
(a) in the case of quarterly information, within 20 business days after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates;
(b) in the case of annual information, within three months after the end of the reporting period to which the information relates; or
(c) in the case of information provided in accordance with paragraph 8, within the time specified by notice in writing.
10. APRA may, in writing, grant a life insurer an extension of a due date, in which case the new due date will be the date on the notice of extension.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if the due date for a particular reporting period falls on a day other than a usual business day, a life insurer is nonetheless required to submit the information required no later than the due date.
Quality control
11. The information provided by a life insurer under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the Auditor of the life insurer. This will require the Auditor to review and test the life insurer’s systems, processes and controls supporting the reporting of the information to enable the life insurer to provide reliable financial information to APRA. This review and testing must be done on:
(a) an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the Auditor to form an opinion on the reliability and accuracy of data; and
(b) at least a limited assurance engagement consistent with professional standards and guidance notes issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board as may be amended from time to time, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the requirements of Prudential Standard LPS 310 Audit and Related Matters.
12. All information provided by a life insurer under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the life insurer for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the Board and senior management of the life insurer to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.
13. Actuarial valuations and calculations included in or used in the preparation of the information provided to APRA must be in accordance with the prudential standards in force for the reporting period. However, life insurers may use reasonable estimates when preparing information that will not be audited (i.e. for the first four submissions of information for a full financial year).
Authorisation
14. When an officer or agent of a life insurer provides the information required by this Reporting Standard using an electronic format, the officer or agent must digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
15. An officer or agent of a life insurer who submits information under this Reporting Standard must be authorised by either:
(a) the Principal Executive Officer of the life insurer; or
(b) the Chief Financial Officer of the life insurer.
Variations
16. APRA may, by written notice to the life insurer, vary the reporting requirements of this Reporting Standard in relation to that life insurer.
Transition
17. A life insurer must report under the old reporting standard in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:
old reporting standard means the reporting standard revoked in the determination making this Reporting Standard; and
transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standard:
(a) which ended before 1 July 2023; and
(b) in relation to which the life insurer was required, under the old reporting standard, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standard.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if a life insurer was required to report under an old reporting standard, and the reporting documents were due before the date of revocation of the old reporting standard, the life insurer is still required to provide any overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standard.
