On 27 Sept 2021, APRA has published a set of additional FAQs on the reporting standards for Phase 1 of the Superannuation Data Transformation project. This update includes the staged implementation approach, including an extension to the timeframe for the initial submission of data due by 30 September 2021 to due by 28 October 2021. [LTN 187, 28.9.21]
The questions are designed to clarify reporting issues raised by RSE licensees. APRA encourages entities to report to APRA in accordance with the guidance provided here to the extent practicable. The FAQs refer to APRA’s reporting standards however, until the guidance is formally incorporated into the legislative reporting instruments, it does not form part of the law or create enforceable requirements.
It is APRA’s practice, where appropriate, to incorporate this guidance into the final reporting standards, forms and instructions periodically. When this occurs, APRA provides formal notice to entities and removes the questions from this page. For reference purposes only, APRA will archive questions that contain guidance on matters that have been incorporated in the final reporting standards, forms and instructions. [APRA FAQs]
