It includes Form LRF 200.0 Capital Adequacy Supplementary Information 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 (Collection of Data Act).
Purpose
2.             Information collected in Form LRF 200.0 Capital Adequacy Supplementary Information (LRF 200.0) is used by APRA for the purpose of prudential supervision including assessing compliance with capital standards.
Application and commencement
3.             This Reporting Standard applies to all life insurance companies including friendly societies (together referred to as ‘life companies’) registered under the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Life Insurance Act). This Reporting Standard applies for reporting periods ending on or after 1 January 2013.
Information required
4.             A life company must provide APRA with the information required by Form LRF 200.0 for each reporting period.
5.             The information reported to APRA under this Reporting Standard is not required to be given to policy owners pursuant to section 124 of the Life Insurance Act. It does not constitute a reporting document for the purposes of section 124.
Forms and method of submission
6.             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
7.             Subject to paragraph 8, a life company must provide the information required by this Reporting Standard:
(a)           in respect of each quarter based on the financial year of the life company on an unaudited basis; and
(b)          in respect of each financial year of the life company on an audited basis.
Note 1: This means that this form will be submitted five times for a full financial year.
Note 2: The annual audited form must be submitted in conjunction with the annual auditor’s report, as required under Prudential Standard LPS 310 Audit and Related Matters (LPS 310).
8.             If, having regard to the particular circumstances of a life company,  APRA  considers it necessary or desirable to obtain information more or less frequently than as provided by subparagraph 7(a) or 7(b), APRA may, by notice in writing, change the reporting periods, or specify reporting periods, for the particular life company.
9.             The information required by this Reporting Standard in respect of a life company must be provided to APRA:
(a)           within the time stated in Reporting Standard LRS 001 Reporting Requirements (LRS 001); or
(b)          in the case of information provided in accordance with paragraph 8, within the time specified by notice in writing.
Quality control
10.         The information provided by a life company under this Reporting Standard must be the product of systems, processes and controls that have been reviewed and tested by the Auditor of the life company. This will require the Auditor to review and test the life company’s systems, processes and controls supporting the reporting of the information to enable the life company to provide 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 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 LPS 310.
11.         All information provided by a life company under this Reporting Standard must be subject to systems, processes and controls developed by the life company for the internal review and authorisation of that information. It is the responsibility of the Board and senior management of the life company to ensure that an appropriate set of policies and procedures for the authorisation of data submitted to APRA is in place.
12.         Actuarial valuations and calculations included in or used in the preparation of the information provided to APRA must be in accordance with the prudential standards in force for the reporting period. However, life companies may use reasonable estimates when preparing information that will not be audited (i.e. for the first four submissions of information for a full financial year).
Authorisation
13.         When an officer of a life company provides the information required by this Reporting Standard using the ‘Direct to APRA’ software, it will be necessary for the officer to digitally sign the relevant information using a digital certificate acceptable to APRA.
