This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of Reporting Form SRF 605.0 RSE Structure (SRF 605.0). This form collects information on the structure of each RSE’s business operations.
SRF 605.0 must be completed for each RSE licensee in respect of each registrable superannuation entity (RSE), defined benefit RSE, pooled superannuation trust (PST) and eligible rollover fund (ERF), as relevant, within its business operations.
Tables described in this reporting form 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.
The Unique identifier column indicates which field or fields form the primary key of the table. Where a field has ‘Y’ in the Unique identifier column, this denotes that this field forms part of the primary key for the table. A blank cell in the Unique identifier column means that the field does not form part of the primary key for the table. Any specific combination of values in the fields that form the primary key of a table must not appear on more than one row in that table when reported.
Amounts in SRF 605.0 are to be reported as percentages or whole numbers. Percentages are to be reported as an unconverted number to two decimal places. For example, 12.34 per cent is to be reported as 0.1234.
Items on SRF 605.0 must be reported as at the end of the reporting period, or, if an RSE licensee is submitting ad-hoc information, as at the date of the change.
