Response to consultation on changes to Reporting Standard ARS 180.0 Capital Adequacy: Counterparty Credit Risk
On 30 October, APRA released its response to consultation on the proposed amendments to Reporting Standard ARS 180.0 Capital Adequacy: Counterparty Credit Risk (ARS180.0).
The amendments will align reporting requirements for non-significant financial institutions (non-SFIs) with APRA’s previous prudential guidance. The creation of a new reporting standard ARS 226.0 Margining and risk mitigation for non-centrally cleared derivatives (ARS 226.0) will make it easier for entities to find the Reporting Form ARF 226.0 Margining and risk mitigation for non-centrally cleared derivatives (ARF 226.0), which was located in ARS 180.0.
The letter to industry and non-confidential submission are available below:

Note on submissions
It is APRA's policy to publish all submissions on the APRA website unless the respondent specifically tells APRA in writing that all or part of the submission is to remain confidential. An automatically generated confidentiality statement in an email does not satisfy this purpose. If you would like only part of your submission to be confidential, you should provide this information marked as 'confidential' in a separate attachment.
Submissions may be the subject of a request for access made under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOIA). APRA will determine such requests, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the FOIA. Information in the submission about any APRA-regulated entity that is not in the public domain and that is identified as confidential will be protected by section 56 of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority Act 1998 and will therefore be exempt from production under the FOIA.
