It includes Form GRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position and associated specific instructions and must be read in conjunction with the general instruction guide.
Authority
1. This Reporting Standard is made under section 13 of the Financial Sector (Collection of Data) Act 2001.
Purpose
2. Information collected in Form GRF 300.0 Statement of Financial Position (GRF 300.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with the capital standards.
Application and commencement
3. This Reporting Standard applies to all general insurers authorised under the Insurance Act 1973 (insurers). This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 1 January 2013.
Information required
4. An insurer must provide APRA with the information required by Form GRF 300.0 for each reporting period.
Forms and method of submission
5. The information required by this Reporting Standard must be given to APRA in electronic format using the ‘Direct to APRA’ application or, where ‘Direct to APRA’ is not available, by a method notified by APRA prior to submission.
Note: The ‘Direct to APRA’ application software may be obtained from APRA.
Reporting periods and due dates
6. Subject to paragraph 7, an insurer must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard:
(a) in respect of each quarter based on the financial year of the insurer; and
(b) in respect of each financial year of the insurer.
Note: The annual information required from an insurer by paragraphs 4, 5 and 6(b), together with certain annual information required by other reporting standards, will form part of the insurer’s yearly statutory accounts within the meaning of section 3 of the Insurance Act 1973 (the Insurance Act). This means that the information must be audited in accordance with paragraph 49J(1)(a) of the Insurance Act. Under subsection 49J(3), the principal auditor of the insurer must give the insurer a certificate relating to the yearly statutory accounts, and that certificate must contain statements of the auditor’s opinions on the matters required by the prudential standards to be dealt with in the certificate.
7. If, having regard to the particular circumstances of an insurer, APRA considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more or less frequently than as provided by subparagraph 6(a) or 6(b), APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specify reporting periods, for the particular insurer.
8. The information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of an insurer must be provided to APRA:
(a) within the time stated in Reporting Standard GRS 001 Reporting Requirements (GRS 001); or
(b) in the case of information provided in accordance with paragraph 7, within the time specified by notice in writing.
Note: Paragraph 49L(1)(a) of the Insurance Act provides that the auditor’s certificate required under subsection 49J(3) of that Act must be lodged with APRA in accordance with the prudential standards. The prudential standards provide that the certificate must be submitted to APRA together with the yearly statutory accounts. Accordingly, the auditor’s certificate relating to the annual information referred to in subparagraph 6(b) must be provided to APRA by the time specified in GRS 001 (unless an extension of time is granted under GRS 001).
Quality control
9. The information provided by an insurer under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the Appointed Auditor of the insurer. This will require the Appointed Auditor to review and test the insurer’s systems, processes and controls designed to enable the insurer to report 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 Appointed 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 (AUASB) as may be amended from time to time, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the requirements of Prudential Standard GPS 310 Audit and Related Matters.
10. All information provided by an insurer under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the insurer for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the Board and senior management of the insurer to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.
Authorisation
11. When an officer, or agent, of an insurer provides the information required by this Reporting Standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software it will be necessary for an officer, or agent, to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
12. If an insurer provides the information required by this Reporting Standard through an agent who submits using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software on the insurer’s behalf, the insurer must:
(a) obtain from the agent a copy of the completed form with the information provided to APRA; and
(b) retain the completed copy.
13. An officer, or agent, of an insurer who submits the information under this Reporting Standard for, or on behalf of, the insurer must be authorised by either:
(a) the Principal Executive Officer of the insurer; or
(b) the Chief Financial Officer of the insurer.
Variations
14. APRA may, by written notice to the insurer, vary the reporting requirements of Form GRF 300.0 in relation to that insurer.
Transition
15. An insurer must report under the old reporting standards in respect of a transitional reporting period. For these purposes:
old reporting standards means the reporting standards revoked in the determination making this Reporting Standard (being the reporting standards which this Reporting Standard replaces); and
transitional reporting period means a reporting period under the old reporting standards:
(a) which ended before the date of revocation of the old reporting standards; and
(b) in relation to which the insurer was required, under the old reporting standards, to report by a date on or after the date of revocation of the old reporting standards.
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, if an 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 standards, the insurer is still required to provide any overdue reporting documents in accordance with the old reporting standards.

This must be calculated on a net basis as per the following:
· Net OCL as per GRF 300.0 (Item 16 less Item 2.4.1 less Item 2.2.2.1); less
· Net OCL as per GRF 115.0 (Total - Column 10 in Section 3 of GRF 115.0).
30.2. Premiums liabilities surplus / (deficit) calculation:
30.2.1. Premiums liabilities surplus / (deficit)
Include in this item the value of net AASB 1023 premiums liabilities (PL) that are recognised in GRF 300.0 that are in surplus or deficit of the technical provisions required by GPS 320 (i.e. the net premiums liabilities reported in GRF 115.1). Both inside Australia and Total amounts should be reported.
This must be calculated on a net basis as per the following:
· AASB 1023 net PL as per GRF 300.0:
o Item 17 less Item 9 less Item 8 plus Item 18; less
o the net value of any other items which form the total of AASB 1023 net premiums liabilities. This would include: deferred reinsurance exchange commission; unearned commission revenue; and deferred levies and charges.

This is automatically calculated as the sum of Items 30.2.1 and 30.2.2.
30.3. Tax effect of net OCL and premium liabilities surplus / (deficit)
Any surplus / deficit of technical provisions must be adjusted for the tax effect (i.e. the corporate tax rate multiplied by the net amount).
Note: this requirement is not mandating the recognition of a deferred tax asset in GRF 300.0. This adjustment is required purely for prudential capital purposes to derive the accounting after tax cost to capital of creating the excess insurance provision.
The recording of the tax effect is not required where the surplus / deficit of technical provisions has been included in the recognition of a deferred tax asset associated with the recognition of insurance liabilities in GRF 300.0. Deducting the tax effect in this case would constitute double counting, as deferred tax assets are deducted from Net Assets inside Australia.
30.4. Net surplus / deficit relating to insurance liabilities
This is automatically calculated as Item 30.1 plus Item 30.2.2 less Item 30.3.
