  2.              Where APRA has changed the reporting periods under paragraph 6, the RSE licensee must provide the relevant information within the time specified by the notice in writing.
  3.              APRA may grant, in writing, an RSE licensee an extension of a due date, in which case the new due date for the provision of the information will be the due date on the specified notice of extension.

Note: For the avoidance of doubt, APRA’s expectation is that if the due date falls on a day other than a usual business day, an RSE licensee will submit the information required no later than the due date.

  1.              The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA in electronic format using an electronic method available on APRA’s website or by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
  1.          The information provided by an RSE licensee under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, procedures and internal controls that have been reviewed and tested by the RSE auditor of the RSE licensee to which the information relates[2]. This will require the RSE auditor to review and test the RSE licensee’s systems, procedures and internal controls designed to enable the RSE licensee to report reliable information to APRA. This review and testing must be done on:
    1.           an annual basis or more frequently if necessary to enable the RSE auditor to form an opinion on the reliability and accuracy of information; and
    1.           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 SPS 310 Audit and Related Matters (SPS 310).
  2.          All information provided by an RSE licensee under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the RSE licensee for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the Board and senior management of the RSE licensee to ensure that an appropriate set of policies, procedures and controls for the authorisation of information submitted to APRA is in place.
  1.          When an officer or agent of an RSE licensee 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.
  2.          If the information required by this Reporting Standard is provided by an agent who submits the information on the RSE licensee’s behalf, the RSE licensee must:
    1.           obtain from the agent a copy of the completed form with the information provided to APRA; and
    2.           retain the completed copy.
  3.          An officer or agent of an RSE licensee who submits the information under this Reporting Standard for, or on behalf of, the RSE licensee must be authorised by either:
    1.           the Chief Executive Officer of the RSE licensee; or
    2.           the Chief Financial Officer of the RSE licensee.
  1.          APRA may make minor variations to:
    1.           a form that is part of this Reporting Standard, and the instructions to such a form, to correct technical, programming or logical errors, inconsistencies or anomalies; or
    2.           the instructions to a form, to clarify their application to the form,

without changing any substantive requirement in the form or instructions.

  1.          If APRA makes such a variation, it must notify each RSE licensee that is required to report under this Reporting Standard.
  1.          In this Reporting Standard:

APRA means the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority established under the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998.

Chief Executive Officer means the chief executive officer of the RSE licensee, by whatever name called, and whether or not he or she is a member of the Board of the RSE licensee[3].

Reporting Form SRF 340.0

RSE Licensee Financial Statements

Instruction Guide

This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of Reporting Form SRF 340.0 RSE Licensee Financial Statements (SRF 340.0). This form collects information relating to the RSE licensee’s audited financial statements and reports.

SRF 340.0 must be completed for each RSE licensee in respect of its business operations.

Tables described in this reporting form list each of the data fields required to be reported.
 

In completing the reporting standards, unless otherwise specifically stated, reporting RSE Licensees are to report in accordance with the relevant Australian Accounting Standards.

 

Report values in this Reporting Standard in whole Australian dollars (AUD) with no decimal place.

Terms highlighted in bold italics indicate that the definition is provided in Reporting Standard SRS 101.0 Definitions for Superannuation Data Collections (SRS 101.0).

Report each revenue and expense item listed in Table 1 that the RSE Licensee is able to categorise within their financial accounts. For any items with nil value, leave the field blank. Report expenses as negative values.

Where certain expense items are aggregated into a single service fee and are not available by expense category, report the total amount in ‘Other Expenses’ and leave the other relevant expense item field blank. For example, if RSE licensee expenses comprise a single, non-itemised payment to a service provider to cover both ‘Administration expenses’ and ‘Occupancy expenses’, report the total expense amount under ‘Other expenses’ and leave the ‘Administration expenses’ and 'Occupancy expenses' fields blank.

APRA expects where revenue and expense items are able to be broken down into separate items, that they be reported under the relevant category. For example, where Director Remuneration and Executive Remuneration have been quantified to meet other disclosure requirements, they should be reported separately in this table.
