Part 2Determining the kinds of ADIs that are large ADIs

 

5  Size of an ADI

 (1) Under subsection 5(1A) of the Act, the kinds of ADIs that are large ADIs, is determined by this section.

 (2) An ADI is a large ADI at a time during a financial year if the ADI’s total asset size at the start of the financial year is or exceeds $124 billion (indexed in accordance with section 8).

 (3) An ADI’s total asset size at the start of a financial year is:

 (a) if, as at the start of that financial year, the ADI has submitted a final report for only one earlier financial year—the ADI’s total resident assets value (see section 6) in that final report; or

 (b) if, as at the start of that financial year, the ADI has submitted final reports for only 2 earlier financial years—the average of the total resident assets value in the final report for each of those financial years; or

 (c) if, as at the start of that financial year, the ADI has submitted final reports for 3 or more earlier financial years—the average of the total resident assets value in the final report for each of the 3 most recent of those earlier financial years.

 (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), if an ADI has submitted final reports for a financial year under both Reporting Standard ARS 720.0 and Reporting Standard ARS 323.0, take into account only the total resident assets value in the final report under Reporting Standard ARS 720.0.

6  Total resident assets value

 (1) An ADI’s total resident assets value in a final report is determined in accordance with this section.

 (2) If the report is under Reporting Standard ARS 323.0, the total resident assets value is the amount reported in Section A, item 11 Total assets in Form ARF 323.0 in that Reporting Standard.

 (3) If the report is under Reporting Standard ARS 720.0 and Form ARF 720.0A in that Reporting Standard, the total resident assets value is worked out in accordance with the following method:

Method Statement

Step 1. Identify the amount reported in Section A, item 13 Total assets including intragroup assets.

Step 2. Subtract from the result of Step 1 the amount required to be reported in Section A, item 11.1 Total assets excluding intragroup assets of which: Due from nonresidents.

Step 3. Subtract from the result of Step 2 the amount required to be reported in Section A, item 12.1 Total intragroup assets of which: Due from nonresidents.

 (4) If the report is under Reporting Standard ARS 720.0 and Form ARF 720.0B in that Reporting Standard, the total resident assets value is the amount reported in Section A, item 13 Total assets including intragroup assets.

7  Reporting Standards

 (1) If a provision (the referring provision) of this instrument refers, in relation to an ADI’s final reporting period in a financial year, to a Reporting Standard with a particular identifier, the referring provision is to be taken to refer to the version of the Reporting Standard with that identifier that applied to that reporting period because of a determination made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.

Example: Reporting Standard ARS 323.0.

 (2) However, if no version of that Reporting Standard applies to that reporting period because that Reporting Standard has been replaced by a Reporting Standard with a different identifier:

 (a) subsection (1) applies as if the referring provision referred instead to the Reporting Standard with the different identifier; and

 (b) if the referring provision also refers to particular material in the Reporting Standard that has been replaced, it is taken to refer instead to the corresponding material in the applicable version of the Reporting Standard with the different identifier.

 (3) In this section:

identifier means a combination of letters and numbers (with or without punctuation marks, and whether or not followed by a title).

8  Indexation of large ADI threshold

 (1) The amount referred to subsection 5(2) is indexed in accordance with this section on 1 January 2024 and each 1 January after that.

 (2) The amount is indexed by:

 (a) multiplying the amount by its indexation factor worked out under this section; and

 (b) rounding the result down to the nearest multiple of $1 billion.

 (3) The indexation factor for the amount is the following fraction, calculated to 3 decimal places (but rounding up the third decimal place if the fourth decimal place would be 5 or more):

 

Formula: relevant GDP number divided by base GDP number

  where:

base GDP number is the annual estimate of the Gross Domestic Product: Current PricesOriginal series most recently published by the Australian Statistician for the financial year ending on 30 June 2022.

relevant GDP number is the firstpublished annual estimate of the Gross Domestic Product: Current PricesOriginal series published by the Australian Statistician for the last financial year that ends before the 1 January on which the indexation occurs, disregarding any revisions of that estimate.

 (4) An indexation factor that is less than 1 is to be increased to 1.

Part 3Transitional provision

9  Transitional provision for large ADIs

  If an ADI was a large ADI under the old determination for the financial year in which this instrument commences, then despite section 5 of this instrument, the ADI continues to be a large ADI for the remainder of that financial year for the purpose of subsection 5(1A) of the Act.
