Chapter 2 – Introduction

Purpose of this document

This document has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) ADI Prudential Standard (APS) 330: Public Disclosure.

APS 330 mandates the release to the investment community and general public of information relating to capital adequacy and risk management practices. APS 330 was established to implement Pillar 3 of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s framework for bank capital adequacy[2] . In simple terms, the Basel framework consists of three mutually reinforcing ‘Pillars’:

Pillar 1
Minimum capital requirement
Pillar 2
Supervisory review process
Pillar 3
Market discipline
Minimum capital requirements
for Credit Risk, Operational
Risk, Market Risk and Interest
Rate Risk in the Banking Book
Firm-wide risk oversight,
Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP),
consideration of additional risks,
capital buffers and targets and
risk concentrations, etc
Regular disclosure to the
market of qualitative and
quantitative aspects of risk
management, capital adequacy
and underlying risk metrics

APS 330 requires the publication of various levels of information on a quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis. This document is the annual disclosure, which has the most comprehensive requirements.

Basel in ANZ

In December 2007, ANZ received accreditation for the most advanced approaches permitted under Basel for credit risk and operational risk, complementing its accreditation for market risk. Effective January 2013, ANZ adopted APRA requirements for Basel III with respect to the measurement and monitoring of regulatory capital.

Verification of disclosures

These Pillar 3 disclosures have been verified in accordance with Board approved policy, including ensuring consistency with information contained in ANZ’s Annual Report and in Pillar 1 returns provided to APRA. This Pillar 3 disclosure is not audited by ANZ’s external auditor.

Comparison to ANZ’s Annual Report

These disclosures have been produced in accordance with regulatory capital adequacy concepts and rules, rather than in accordance with accounting policies adopted in ANZ’s Annual Report. As such, there are different areas of focus and measures in some common areas of disclosures. These differences are most pronounced in the credit risk disclosures, for instance:

  • The principal method for measuring the amount at risk is Exposure at Default (EAD), which is the estimated amount of exposure likely to be owed on a credit obligation at the time of default. Under the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) approach in APS 113 Capital Adequacy: Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk, banks are accredited to provide their own estimates of EAD for all exposures (drawn, commitments or contingents) reflecting the current balance as well as the likelihood of additional drawings prior to default.

  • Loss Given Default (LGD) is an estimate of the amount of losses expected in the event of default. LGD is essentially calculated as the amount at risk (EAD) less expected net recoveries from realisation of collateral as well as any post default repayments of principal and interest.

  • Most credit risk disclosures split ANZ’s portfolio into regulatory asset classes, which span areas of ANZ’s internal divisional and business unit organisational structure.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are rounded to AUD millions.

Chapter 3 – Risk appetite and governance

Risk types

ANZ is exposed to a broad range of inter-related business risks.

  • Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from a counterparty falling to fulfill its obligations, or from a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in a loss in value.

  • Market risk stems from ANZ’s trading and balance sheet activities and is the risk to ANZ’s earnings arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility, correlations or from fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

  • Securitisation risk is the risk of credit related losses greater than expected due to a securitisation failing to operate as anticipated, or of the values and risks accepted or transferred, not emerging as expected.

  • Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. The definition includes legal risk, and the risk of reputation loss, or damage arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, but excludes strategic risk.

  • Equity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the unexpected reduction in value of equity investments not held in the trading book including those of the Group’s joint ventures and associates.

  • Capital adequacy risk is the risk of loss arising from ANZ failing to maintain the level of capital required by prudential regulators and other key stakeholders (shareholders, debt investors, depositors, rating agencies etc.) to support ANZ's consolidated operations and risk appetite. Losses include those arising from diminished reputation, a reduction in investor/counter-party confidence, regulatory non-compliance (e.g. fines and banking licence restrictions) and an inability for ANZ to continue to do business

  • Compliance risk is defined as the probability and impact of an event that results in a failure to act in accordance with laws, regulations, industry standards and codes, internal policies and procedures and principles of good governance as applicable to ANZ’s businesses.

  • Liquidity and Funding risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets.

  • Reputation risk[3] is defined as the risk of loss caused by adverse perceptions of ANZ held by the public, the media, depositors, shareholders, investors, regulators, or rating agencies that directly or indirectly impact earnings, capital adequacy or value. Reputation Risk arises as a result of poor control processes over client on-boarding or new product development or strategies or a result of unexpected risks crystallising (e.g. credit, market or operational risk).

  • Insurance risk is defined as the risk of unexpected losses resulting from worse than expected claims experience (variation in timing and amount of insurance claims due to incidence or nonincidence of death, sickness, disability or general insurance claims) and includes inadequate or inappropriate underwriting, claims management, reserving, insurance concentrations, reinsurance management, product design and pricing which will expose an insurer to financial loss and the consequent inability to meet its liabilities.

  • Reinsurance risk - Reinsurance is an agreement in which one insurer (‘the reinsurer’) indemnifies another insurer for all or part of the risk of a policy originally issued and assumed by that other insurer. Reinsurance is a risk transfer tool between the insurer and reinsurer. The main risk that arises with reinsurance is counterparty credit risk. This is the risk that a reinsurer fails to meet their contractual obligations, i.e. to pay reinsurance claims when due. This risk is measured by assigning a counterparty credit rating or probability of default. Reinsurance counterparty credit risk is mitigated by restricting counterparty exposures on the basis of financial strength and concentration.

  • Strategic risks are risks that affect or are created by an organisation’s business strategy and strategic objectives. Where the strategy leads to an increase in other Key Material Risks (e.g. Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk) the risk management strategies associated with these risks form the primary controls.

3 Regulatory Capital is calculated in accordance with the definition of Operational Risk outlined in APS 115 Capital Adequacy: Advanced Measurement Approaches to Operational Risk, and therefore excludes reputation risk considerations.

Risk Appetite Framework

ANZ's Board is ultimately responsible for ANZ’s risk management framework, which includes the Group Risk Appetite Statement (RAS). The Group RAS is the document which clearly and concisely sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that ANZ is prepared to accept in pursuit of its strategic objectives and business plan.

The articulation of risk appetite and risk tolerances is central to a risk appetite statement. ANZ’s Group RAS conveys the following:

  • The degree of risk ( risk appetite ) that ANZ is prepared to accept in pursuit of its Super Regional Strategy, objectives and business plans with consideration of its shareholders’ and customers’ best interests.

  • For each material risk, ANZ has set the maximum level of risk ( risk tolerance ) that it is willing to operate within, expressed as a risk limit and based on its risk appetite, risk profile and capital strength. Risk tolerances translate risk appetite into operational limits for the day-to-day management of material risks, where possible.

  • The process for ensuring that risk tolerances are set at an appropriate level, based on an estimate of the impact in the event that a risk tolerance is breached, and the likelihood that each material risk is realised.

  • The process for monitoring compliance with each risk tolerance and for taking appropriate action in the event that it is breached; and

  • The timing and process for review of the risk appetite and risk tolerances.

Risk management governance

ANZ’s Board has ultimate responsibility for establishing processes, and monitoring the effectiveness of the processes for risk management. There are three key committees focused on risks that impact regulatory capital.

egulatory capital.
Risk
Committee
The Board is principally responsible for approving the Group’s risk appetite,
risk tolerance and related strategies and policies. It also looks after policy
compliance and the effectiveness of our risk and compliance management
framework. The Risk Committee is then responsible for assisting the Board in
relation to the oversight and review of the Group’s risk management principles
and policies, strategies, appetite, processes and controls. These include credit,
market, liquidity, balance sheet, operational, compliance and reputation risk
frameworks. The committee meets at least four times annually.
Audit
Committee
Assists the Board of Directors in reviewing: financial reporting principles and
policies, controls and procedures; the effectiveness of ANZ's internal control
and risk management framework; the work of Global Internal Audit; the
integrity of ANZ’s financial statements and compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements; any due diligence procedures; and prudential
supervision procedures required by regulatory bodies to the extent relating to
financial reporting. It is also responsible for the appointment and evaluation of
the external auditor. The committee meets at least four times annually.
Governance
Committee
Amongst other things, the committee reviews the development of and
approves all other corporate governance policies and principles applicable to
ANZ; and ensures an appropriate Board and committee structure is in place. It
approves corporate governance policies and principles applicable to business
and ensures there is a robust and effective process for evaluating the
performance of the Board, Board Committee and non-executive Directors. It
also approves corporate sustainability objectives and reviews their progress.
The committee meets at least twice annually.

The above committees are exclusively comprised of non-executive directors. Members, including the chairperson are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board and for such term or terms as the Board determines. Global Internal Audit provides independent and objective assurance around ANZ’s risk management and control effectiveness, and its primary reporting line is to the Audit Committee.

7

Executive management committees are responsible for co-ordination of risk matters for each of the areas of risk management. The executive committees most relevant to the risks described above and overall capital management at ANZ are as follows:

Group Asset and Liability Committee (GALCO) GALCO is responsible for the oversight and strategic management of the ANZ’s balance sheet, liquidity and funding positions and capital management activities. The committee meets at least six times annually. Capital Management Policy Committee (CMPC) CMPC is responsible for the oversight and control of the Group’s capital and portfolio measurement framework, addressing economic and regulatory capital requirements and is also responsible for making capital management and portfolio measurement related recommendations to the Risk Committee and ANZ Board. The committee meets six times per year or on an ‘as required’ basis. CMPC is a sub-committee of GALCO. Credit and Market Risk Committee (CMRC) CMRC is responsible for the oversight and control of credit, market, insurance and material financial risks across the ANZ Group. The committee meets monthly, with additional meetings as required. Credit Ratings System Oversight Committee (CRSOC) CRSOC oversees and controls the internal ratings system for credit risk in the wholesale and retail sectors, including credit model approvals and performance monitoring. CRSOC is assisted in its rating systems governance role by the Wholesale Ratings Working Group and the Retail Ratings Working Group. The committee meets six times per year or on an as required basis. Operational Risk Executive Committee (OREC) OREC is responsible for oversight of the Operational Risk and Compliance expected and unexpected risk profile and the related control environment. The committee meets at least four times annually. Reputation Risk Committee (RRC) RRC is responsible for assisting ANZ businesses, Risk, Corporate Affairs, and Legal in partnership to effectively manage reputation risk in relation to environmental, social, business, and regulatory issues across ANZ. The committee meets at least four times annually. Stress Testing Oversight Committee (STOC) STOC is responsible for the oversight and control of the Group’s stress testing framework, modeling and processes. The Committee meets four times per year, with additional meetings at the discretion of the Chair. STOC is a sub-committee of CMPC.

Processes and procedures relating to the operation of each of the management committees are documented in the committee charters.

Chapter 4 – Capital reporting and measurement

Capital reporting and measurement

To ensure that an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) is adequately capitalised on both a standalone and group basis, APRA adopts a tiered approach to the measurement of an ADI’s capital adequacy by assessing the ADI’s financial strength at three levels:

  • Level 1 - being the ADI i.e. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, consolidated with APRA approved subsidiaries, to form the ADI’s Extended Licensed Entity (ELE).

  • Level 2 - being the consolidated group for financial reporting purposes adjusted to exclude associates activities and certain subsidiaries excluded under APS 001: Definitions that undertake the following business activities:

  • Insurance businesses (including friendly societies and health funds).

  • Acting as manager, responsible entity, approved trustee, trustee or similar role in relation to funds management.

  • Non-financial (commercial) operations.

  • Securitisation special purpose vehicles to which assets have been transferred in accordance with APRA's requirements as set out in APS 120: Securitisation.

In April 2014 APRA provided further clarification to the definition of the Level 2 Authorised DepositTaking Institution (ADI) group, whereby subsidiary intermediate holding companies are now considered part of the Level 2 Group. The above clarification results in the phasing out, over time, of capital benefits arising from the debt issued by ANZ Wealth Australia Limited (ANZWA). As at 30 September 2014, ANZWA had $805m of debt outstanding which is equivalent to approximately 22bps of Common Equity Tier 1 capital. APRA has approved transitional arrangements, in line with existing maturity profile of the debt in June 2015 ($405m) and March 2016 ($400m). As a result, there is no immediate impact on ANZ’s capital position and the Group is well placed to manage the future transitional impact through organic capital generation.

  • Level 3 - the consolidated group for financial reporting purposes.

ANZ measures capital adequacy monthly and reports for prudential purposes on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis. In August 2014, APRA announced its planned framework for the supervision of Conglomerates Group (Level 3) which includes updated Level 3 capital adequacy standards. These standards will regulate a bancassurance group such as ANZ as a single economic entity with minimum capital requirements and additional monitoring on risk exposure levels. APRA has deferred a decision on the implementation date as well as the final form of the Level 3 framework until the recommendations of the Financial System Inquiry and the Government’s response to them have been announced and considered by APRA. APRA has committed to a minimum transition period of 12 months for affected institutions to comply with the new requirements once an implementation date is established. Based upon the current draft of the Level 3 standards covering capital adequacy, group governance, risk management and risk exposures, ANZ does not expect any material impact on its operations

Chapter 5 – Capital and Capital Adequacy

Table 1 Common Disclosure template

The head of the Level 2 Group to which this prudential standard applies is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Table 1 of this chapter consists of a Common Disclosure template that assists users in understanding the differences between the application of the Basel III reforms in Australia and those rules as detailed in the document Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems, issued by the Bank for International Settlements. The common disclosure template in this chapter is the post January 2018 version as ANZ is fully applying the Basel III regulatory adjustments, as implemented by APRA. Note that the capital conservation and countercyclical buffers referred to in rows 64 to 67 do not apply until 1 January 2016 and the phase out period for capital instruments began on 1 January 2013.

The information in the lines of the template have been mapped to ANZ’s Level 2 balance sheet, which adjusts for non-consolidated subsidiaries as required under APS 001: Definitions. Where this information cannot be mapped on a one to one basis, it is provided in an explanatory table. ANZ’s material nonconsolidated subsidiaries are also listed in this chapter.

Restrictions on Transfers of Capital within ANZ

ANZ operates branches and locally incorporated subsidiaries in many countries. These operations are capitalised at an appropriate level to cover the risks in the business and to meet local prudential requirements. This level of capitalisation may be enhanced to meet local taxation and operational requirements. Any repatriation of capital from subsidiaries or branches is subject to meeting the requirements of the local prudential regulator and/or the local central bank. Apart from ANZ’s operations in New Zealand, local country capital requirements do not impose any material call on ANZ’s capital base. ANZ undertakes banking activities in New Zealand principally through its wholly owned subsidiary, ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, which is subject to minimum capital requirements as set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). The RBNZ adopted the Basel II framework, effective from 1 January 2008 and Basel III reforms from 1 January 2013 and ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited has been accredited to use the advanced approach for the calculation of credit risk and operational risk. ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited maintains a buffer above the minimum capital base required by the RBNZ. This capital buffer has been calculated via the ICAAP undertaken for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, to ensure ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited is appropriately capitalised under stressed economic scenarios.

Table 2 Main features of capital instruments

As the main features of ANZ’s capital instruments are updated on an ongoing basis, ANZ has provided this information separately in the Regulatory Disclosures section of its website.

Table 3 Capital adequacy, Table 4 Credit risk, Table 5 Securitisation

The above tables are produced at the quarters ending 30 June and 31 December.

Table 6 Capital adequacy

Capital management

ANZ pursues an active approach to capital management, which is designed to protect the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders. This involves the on-going review and Board approval of the level and composition of ANZ’s capital base, assessed against the following key policy objectives:

  • Regulatory compliance such that capital levels exceed APRA’s, ANZ’s primary prudential supervisor, minimum Prudential Capital Ratios (PCRs) both at Level 1 (the Company and specified subsidiaries) and Level 2 (ANZ consolidated under Australian prudential standards), along with US Federal Reserve’s minimum Level 2 requirements under ANZ’s Foreign Holding Company Licence in the United States of America;

  • Capital levels are aligned with the risks in the business and to meet strategic and business development plans through ensuring that available capital exceeds the level of Economic Capital required to support the Ratings Agency ‘default frequency’ confidence level for a ‘AA’ credit rating category bank. Economic Capital is an internal estimate of capital levels required to support risk and unexpected losses above a desired target solvency level;

  • Capital levels are commensurate with ANZ maintaining its preferred ‘AA’ credit rating category for senior long-term unsecured debt given its risk appetite outlined in its strategic plan; and

  • An appropriate balance between maximising shareholder returns and prudent capital management principles.

ANZ achieves these objectives through an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) whereby ANZ conducts detailed strategic and capital planning over a medium term time horizon.

Annually, ANZ conducts a detailed strategic planning process over a three year time horizon, the outcomes of which are embodied in the Strategic Plan. This process involves forecasting key economic variables which Divisions use to determine key financial data for their existing business. New strategic initiatives to be undertaken over the planning period and their financial impact are then determined. These processes are used for the following:

  • Review capital ratios, targets, and levels of different classes of capital against ANZ’s risk profile and risk appetite outlined in the Strategic Plan. ANZ’s capital targets reflect the key policy objectives above, and the desire to ensure that under specific stressed economic scenarios that capital levels have sufficient capital to remain above both Economic Capital and Prudential Capital Ratio (PCR) requirements;

  • Stress tests are performed under different economic conditions to ensure a comprehensive review of ANZ’s capital position both before and after mitigating actions. The stress tests determine the level of additional capital (i.e. the ‘stress capital buffer’) needed to absorb losses that may be experienced during an economic downturn; and

  • Stress testing is integral to strengthening the predictive approach to risk management and is a key component in managing risks, asset writing strategies and business strategies. It creates greater understanding of the impacts on financial performance through modeling relationships and sensitivities between geographic, industry and Divisional exposures under a range of macro-economic scenarios. ANZ has a dedicated stress testing team within Risk Management that models and reports to management and the Board’s Risk Committee on a range of scenarios and stress tests.

Results are subsequently used to:

  • recalibrate ANZ’s management targets for minimum and operating ranges for its respective classes of capital such that ANZ will have sufficient capital to remain above both Economic Capital and regulatory requirements; and

  • identify the level of organic capital generation and hence determine current and future capital issuance requirements for Level 1 and Level 2.

From these processes, a Capital Plan is developed and approved by the Board which identifies the capital issuance requirements, capital securities maturity profile, and options around capital products, timing and markets to execute the Capital Plan under differing market and economic conditions.

The Capital Plan is maintained and updated through a monthly review of forecast financial performance, economic conditions and development of business initiatives and strategies. The Board and senior management are provided with monthly updates of ANZ’s capital position. Any actions required to ensure ongoing prudent capital management are submitted to the Board for approval.

22

Regulatory environment

ANZ’s regulatory capital calculation is governed by APRA’s Prudential Standards which adopt a risk-based capital assessment framework based on the Basel III capital measurement standards. This risk-based approach requires eligible capital to be divided by total risk weighted assets (RWAs), with the resultant ratio being used as a measure of an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution’s (ADIs) capital adequacy. APRA determines PCRs for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total Capital, with capital as the numerator and RWAs as the denominator.

Regulatory capital is divided into Tier 1, carrying the highest capital elements, and Tier 2, which has lower capital elements, but still adds to the overall strength of the ADI.

Tier 1 capital is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 capital less deductions and Additional Tier 1 capital instruments. Common Equity Tier 1 capital comprises shareholders’ equity adjusted for items which APRA does not allow as regulatory capital or classifies as lower forms of regulatory capital. Common Equity Tier 1 capital includes the following significant adjustments:

  • Additional Tier 1 capital instruments included within shareholders’ equity are excluded;

  • Reserves excluding the hedging reserve and reserves of insurance and funds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes;

  • Retained earnings excluding retained earnings of insurance and funds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes, but includes capitalised deferred fees forming part of loan yields that meet the criteria set out in the prudential standard;

  • Inclusion of qualifying treasury shares; and

  • Current year net of tax earnings less profits of insurance and funds management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes.

Additional Tier 1 capital instruments are high quality components of capital that provide a permanent and unrestricted commitment of funds, are available to absorb losses, are subordinated to the claims of depositors and senior creditors in the event of the winding up of the issuer and provide for fully discretionary capital distributions.

Deductions from the capital base comprise mainly deductions to the Common Equity Tier 1 component. These deductions are largely intangible assets, investments in insurance and funds management entities and associates, capitalised expenses (including loan and origination fees), and the amount of regulatory expected losses (EL) in excess of eligible provisions.

Tier 2 capital mainly comprises perpetual subordinated debt instruments and dated subordinated debt instruments which have a minimum term of five years at issue date.

Total Capital is the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.

In addition to the prudential capital oversight that APRA conducts over the Company and the Group, the Company’s branch operations and major banking subsidiary operations are overseen by local regulators such as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, the US Federal Reserve, the UK Prudential Regulation Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the China Banking Regulatory Commission who may impose minimum capitalisation rates on those operations.

Throughout the financial year, the Company and the Group maintained compliance with the minimum Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios set by APRA and the US Federal Reserve (as applicable) as well as applicable capitalisation rates set by regulators in countries where the Company operates branches and subsidiaries.

Regulatory change

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has released a series of consultation papers (Basel III) containing a number of proposals to strengthen the global capital and liquidity framework to improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress.

Following the above, APRA released its new prudential capital standards in September 2012 detailing the implementation of the majority of Basel III capital reforms in Australia. ANZ has implemented APRA’s Basel III capital reforms from 1 January 2013, and is also well placed to meet the future implementation of the capital conservation measures included in the reforms, including the capital conservation buffer from 1 January 2016

APRA is still to finalise capital standards on the Basel III reforms dealing with the improvements in capital disclosures, leverage ratio, counterparty credit risk, contingent capital and measures to address systematic and inter-connected risks.

Credit Risk Weighted Assets (CRWA)

Total CRWA increased $21.2 billion (7.4%) from September 2013 to $308.9 billion at September 2014, including a $4.4 billion increase due to foreign currency movements. Portfolio growth contributed a further $17.3 billion, with growth in the Institutional portfolio contributing to the increase in AIRB and Standardised Corporate asset classes. Growth in the Australian mortgages portfolio contributed to the increase in the IRB Residential Mortgage Asset class.

Market Risk, Operational Risk and IRRBB RWA

Traded Market Risk 1-day 99% VaR and RWA increased $2.7 billion (63.8%) however is still lower than financial year 2011 (adjusting for Basel 2.5 RWA impacts from Jan 12). While outright levels of market risk increased for short periods (relative to financial year 2013) improved portfolio diversification was maintained relative to financial year 2011.

IRRBB RWA decreased $4.7 billion (25.5%) primarily due to lower Repricing & Yield Curve Risk combined with an improvement in Embedded Gains.

The $2.9 billion (10.2%) increase in Operational Risk RWA is reflective of our business growth and recognises global and local industry trends.

International capital ratio comparisons

International comparable details

One of the main purposes of the Pillar 3 disclosures is to facilitate comparisons of banks, both within and across jurisdictions. International investors should be aware that there are a number of features of APRA’s implementation of Basel III that have the effect of making key capital adequacy ratios appear lower than would be the case if they were calculated under the rules in other jurisdictions.

The following table details the material differences between APRA’s Basel III prudential requirements and those of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) as at 30 September 2014 on an Internationally Comparable basis. The Internationally Comparable capital ratios is calculated as per the methodology in the Australian Bankers’ Association: International comparability of capital ratios of Australia’s major banks (August 2014) prepared by PwC Australia. ANZ’s CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios as at 30 September 2014 on an Internationally Comparable basis were 12.7%, 15.0% and 17.5% respectively.

Chapter 6 –Credit risk

Table 7 Credit risk – General disclosures

Definition of credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from a counterparty falling to fulfil its obligations, or from a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in a loss in value.

Regulatory approval to use the Advanced Internal Ratings-based approach

ANZ has been given approval by APRA to use the Advanced Internal Ratings-based approach to credit risk, under APS 113. There are however several small portfolios (mainly retail and local corporates in Asia Pacific) where ANZ applies the Standardised approach to credit risk, under APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk.

Credit risk management framework and policies

ANZ has a comprehensive framework to manage credit risk and support sound growth for appropriate returns. The framework is top down, being defined by credit principles and policies. Credit policies, requirements and procedures cover all aspects of the credit life cycle such as transaction structuring, risk grading, initial approval, ongoing management and problem debt management, as well as specialist policy topics. The effectiveness of the credit risk management framework is assessed through various compliance and monitoring processes. These, together with portfolio selection, define and guide the credit process, organisation and staff.

Organisation

As described in Chapter 3, the CMRC is a senior executive level credit risk committee. The CRSOC supports the CMRC, by providing group-wide oversight of ANZ’s credit rating system.

The primary responsibility for prudent and profitable management of credit risk assets and customer relationships rests with the business units. An independent credit risk management function is staffed by risk specialists. Independence is achieved by having all credit risk staff ultimately report to the CRO, even where they are embedded in business units. Risk provides independent credit assessment and approval on lending decisions, and also performs key roles in portfolio management such as development and validation of credit risk measurement systems, loan asset quality reporting, and development of credit policies and requirements.

The authority to make credit decisions is delegated by the Board to the CEO who in turn delegates authority to the CRO. The CRO in turn delegates some of his credit discretion to individuals as part of a ‘cascade’ of authority from senior to the most junior credit officers. Within ANZ, credit approval for material judgemental lending is made on a ‘dual approval’ basis, jointly by the business writer in the business unit and the respective independent credit risk officer. Individuals must be suitably skilled and accredited in order to be granted and retain a credit discretion. Credit discretions are reviewed on an annual basis, and may be varied based on the holder’s performance.

Programmed credit assessment typically covers retail and some small business lending, and refers to the automated assessment of credit applications using a combination of scoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit reporting information. Where an application does not meet the automated assessment criteria it will be referred out for manual assessment, with assessors considering the decision tool recommendation.

Portfolio direction and performance

The credit risk management framework contains several important portfolio direction and performance tools which enable Risk to play a fundamental role in monitoring the direction and performance of the portfolio. These include:

  • Business writing strategies that are prepared by the businesses and set out appetite, planned portfolio growth, capital usage and risk/return profile, and also identify areas that may require attention to mitigate and improve risk management.

  • Regular portfolio reviews.

  • Exposure concentration limits, covering single customers, industries and cross border risk, to ensure a diversified portfolio.

27

ANZ uses portfolio monitoring and analysis tools, technologies and techniques to assist with portfolio risk assessment and management. These assist in:

  • Monitoring, analysing and reporting ANZ’s credit risk profile and progress in meeting portfolio objectives.

  • Calculating and reporting ANZ’s collective provision, economic capital, expected loss, regulatory RWA and regulatory expected loss.

  • Assessing impact of emerging issues, and conducting adhoc investigations and analysis.

  • Validating rating/scoring tools and credit estimates.

  • Ongoing review and refinement of ANZ's credit risk measurement and policy framework.

Reporting – overview and definitions

Credit risk management information systems, reporting and analysis are managed centrally and at the divisional and business unit level.

Periodic reporting provides confirmation of the effectiveness of processes, highlights emerging issues requiring attention and allows monitoring of portfolio trends by all levels of management and the Board.

Examples of reports include EAD, portfolio mix, risk grade profiles and migrations, RWAs, large exposure reporting, credit watch and control lists, impaired assets and provisions. Within the retail segments, monthly reporting packs are prepared that focus on such aspects as scoring and delinquency/slippage monitoring.

Past due facilities

Facilities where a contractual payment has not been met or the customer is outside of contractual arrangements are deemed past due. Past due facilities include those operating in excess of approved arrangements or where scheduled repayments are outstanding but do not include impaired assets.

Impaired assets

Facilities are classified as impaired when there is doubt as to whether the contractual amounts due, including interest and other payments, will be met in a timely manner. Impaired assets include impaired facilities, and impaired derivatives. Impaired derivatives have a credit value adjustment (CVA), which is a market assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties.

Restructured items

Restructured items comprise facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

Collective provisions

As well as holding individual provisions for credit loss, ANZ also holds a collective provision to cover credit losses which have been incurred but have not yet been specifically identified.

Calculation of the collective provision involves placing exposures in pools of similar assets with similar risk characteristics. The required collective provision is estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the collective pool and includes an allowance for inherent risk associated with the design and use of models. The initial calculation from historical loss experience may be adjusted based on current observable data such as changed economic conditions, and to take account of the impact of inherent risk of large concentrated losses within the portfolio.

The methodology underpinning calculation of collective provision from historical experience is predominantly based around the product of an exposure’s PD, LGD and EAD. ANZ uses slightly different PD, LGD and EAD factors in the calculation of regulatory capital and regulatory EL, due to the different requirements of APRA and accounting standards. The key differences are:

  • ANZ must use more conservative LGD assumptions for regulatory capital purposes, such as the 20% LGD floor for retail mortgages and downturn LGD factors.

  • ANZ must use cycle-adjusted PDs for regulatory capital purposes, but uses point-in-time estimates to calculate provisions.

28

Essentially these differences reflect the effects of the credit cycle on credit losses. Point-in-time refers to losses at any given point in the credit cycle, cycle-adjusted refers to adjusting estimates to reflect a full credit cycle and downturn refers to losses at the worst of the cycle and is the most conservative estimate to use. Regardless of the adjustments, the starting point for all estimates is the output of the rating/scoring models and tools to satisfy the in use test[7] .

Individual provisions

Individual provisions are assessed on a case-by-case basis for all individually managed impaired assets taking into consideration factors such as the realisable value of security (or other credit mitigants), the likely return available upon liquidation or bankruptcy, legal uncertainties, estimated costs involved in recovery, the market price of the exposure in secondary markets and the amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries.

Write-offs

Facilities are written off against the related provision for impairment when they are assessed as partially or fully uncollectable, and after proceeds from the realisation of any collateral have been received. Where individual provisions recognised in previous periods have subsequently decreased or are no longer required, such impairment losses are reversed in the current period income statement.

Definition of default

ANZ uses the standard APRA definition of default, so that a default is considered to have occurred with regard to a particular obligor when either or both of the two following events have taken place:

  • ANZ considers that the obligor is unlikely to pay[8] its credit obligations to ANZ in full, without recourse by ANZ to actions such as realising available security.

  • The obligor is at least 90 days past due on a credit obligation to ANZ.

Specific provision and general reserve for credit losses

Due to definitional differences, there is a difference in the split between ANZ’s individual provision and collective provision for accounting purposes and the specific provision and general reserve for credit losses (GRCL) for regulatory purposes. This does not impact total provisions, and essentially relates to the classification of collectively assessed provisions on defaulted accounts. The disclosures in this document are based on individual provision and collective provision, for ease of comparison with other published results.

7 One of the key criteria for regulatory acceptance of a rating model is that the outputs must be used in a wide range of ongoing management activities, to demonstrate that the model is used in day-to-day management of exposures and not just for regulatory capital calculation.

8 Elements to be taken as indications of unlikeliness to pay include the factors relating to impairment (irrespective of whether the credit obligations are well secured) or ANZ selling the credit obligation at a material credit-related economic loss.

15 Impaired derivatives are net of credit value adjustment (CVA) of $46 million, being a market value based assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (March 2014: $80 million; September 2013: $93 million).

16 Impaired loans / facilities include restructured items of $67 million for customer facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk (March 2014: $60 million; September 2013: $341 million).

17 For regulatory reporting not well secured portfolio managed retail exposures have been reclassified from past due loans > 90 days to impaired loans / facilities.

18 Impaired derivatives are net of credit value adjustment (CVA) of $46 million, being a market value based assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (March 2014: $80 million; September 2013: $93 million)

19 Impaired loans / facilities include restructured items of $67 million for customer facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk (March 2014: $60 million; September 2013: $341 million).

20 For regulatory reporting not well secured portfolio managed retail exposures have been reclassified from past due loans > 90 days to impaired loans / facilities..

21 Due to definitional differences, there is a variation in the split between ANZ’s Individual Provision and Collective Provision for accounting purposes and the Specific Provision and General Reserve for Credit Losses (GRCL) for regulatory purposes. This does not impact total provisions, and essentially relates to the classification of collectively assessed provisions on defaulted accounts. The disclosures in this document are based on Individual Provision and Collective Provision, for ease of comparison with other published results.

Table 8 Credit risk – Disclosures for portfolios subject to the Standardised approach and supervisory risk weights in the IRB approach

Use of external rating agencies (External Credit Assessment Institutions)

ANZ portfolios under the Standardised approach are mainly Retail portfolios and hence are not rated by external rating agencies. However, there are a small number of local corporate counterparties that are externally rated. For these counterparties, external ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service are used as inputs into the RWA calculation. As described in the section on the ANZ rating system, ANZ has mapped its master scale to the grading of these two External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs).

In addition, ANZ has applied the Standardised approach to some portfolio segments (mainly retail and local corporates in Asia Pacific) where currently available data does not enable development of advanced internal models for PD, LGD and EAD estimates. Under the Standardised approach, exposures are mapped to several regulatory risk weights, mainly based on the type of counterparty and its external rating.

ANZ applies its full normal risk measurement and management framework to these segments for internal management purposes, such as for economic capital. Standardised segments will be migrated to AIRB if they reach a volume that generates sufficient data for development of advanced internal models.

ANZ has not applied the Foundation IRB approach to any portfolios.

The ANZ rating system

As an AIRB bank, ANZ’s internal models generate the inputs into regulatory capital adequacy to determine the risk weighted exposure calculations for both on and off-balance sheet exposures, including undrawn portions of credit facilities, committed and contingent exposures and EL calculations. ANZ’s internal models are used to generate the three key risk components that serve as inputs to the IRB approach to credit risk:

  • PD is an estimate of the level of the risk of borrower default. Borrower ratings are derived by way of rating models used both at loan origination and for ongoing monitoring.

  • EAD is defined as the expected facility exposure at the date of default.

23 The IRB asset classification of investment banks is Corporate, rather than Bank.

24 Since 2009, APRA has agreed that some large, well-diversified commercial property exposures may be treated as corporate exposures, in line with the original Basel Committee’s definition of Specialised Lending.

25 ANZ uses an internal assessment which is mapped to the appropriate Supervisory Slot.

44

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

  • LGD is an estimate of the potential economic loss on a credit exposure, incurred as a consequence of obligor default and expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD. When measuring economic loss, all relevant factors are taken into account, including material effects of the timing of cash flows and material direct and indirect costs associated with collecting on the exposure, including realisation of collateral.

Effective maturity is also calculated as an input to the risk weighted exposure calculation for bank, sovereign and corporate IRB asset classes.

ANZ’s rating system has two separate and distinct dimensions that:

  • Measure the PD, which is expressed by the Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting the ability to service and repay debt.

  • Measure the LGD as expressed by the Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the percentage of loan covered by security which can be realised in the event of default. This calculation uses standard ratios to adjust the current market value of collateral items to allow for historical realisation outcomes. The security-related SIs are supplemented with a range of other SIs which cover such factors as cash cover, mezzanine finance, intra-group guarantees and sovereign backing as ANZ’s LGD research indicates that these transaction characteristics have different recovery outcomes. ANZ’s LGD also includes recognition of the different legal and insolvency regimes in different countries, where this has been shown to influence recovery outcomes.

ANZ’s corporate PD master scale is made up of 27 rating grades. Each level/grade is separately defined and has a range of default probabilities attached to it. The PD master scale enables ANZ’s rating system to be mapped to the gradings of external rating agencies, using the PD as a common element after ensuring that default definitions and other key attributes are aligned. The following table demonstrates this alignment (for one year PDs):

ANZ CCR Moody’s Standard & Poor’s PD Range
0+ to 1- Aaa to Aa3 AAA to AA- 0.0000 - 0.0346%
2+ to 3+ A1 to Baa1 A+ to BBB+ 0.0347 - 0.1636%
3= to 4= Baa2 to > Ba1 BBB to > BB+ 0.1637 - 0.5108%
4- to 6- Ba1 to B1 BB+ to B+ 0.5109 - 3.4872%
7+ to 8+ B2 to B3 B to B- 3.4873 - 10.0928%
8= Caa CCC 10.0929 - 99.9999%
8-,9 and 10 Default Default 100%

In the retail asset classes, most facilities utilise credit rating scores. The scores are calibrated to PDs, and used to allocate exposures to homogenous pools, along with LGD and EAD. ANZ also uses specialised PD master scale/mappings for the sovereign asset class, based predominantly on the corporate master scale.

Use of internal estimates other than for regulatory capital purposes

ANZ’s rating system is a fundamental part of credit management and plays a key role in:

  • Lending discretions.

  • Minimum origination standards.

  • Concentration limits.

  • Portfolio reporting.

  • Customer profitability measurement.

  • Collective provision measurement.

  • Management of deteriorating customers (where certain CCR/SI combinations trigger increasing scrutiny).

  • Pricing decisions.

PD, LGD and EAD are used in the calculation of economic capital and in the collective provisioning process. Regulatory and economic capital are calculated from the same data sources and starting from the same basis, however there are some differences between the factors used because several aspects of ANZ’s rating system are adjusted in accordance with APRA requirements for regulatory capital purposes. The most significant of these adjustments are the use for regulatory capital purposes of downturn LGDs; the imposition of a 20% LGD floor for exposures secured by Australian residential

45

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

real estate and the mandatory use of the supervisory slotting approach for project finance and most commercial real estate exposures.

Controls surrounding the ratings system

ANZ’s rating system and credit risk estimates are governed by the Board Risk Committee and several executive management committees, and are underpinned by a comprehensive framework of controls that operate throughout ANZ. All policies, methodologies, model designs, model reviews, validations, responsibilities, systems and processes supporting the ratings systems are documented, and subject to review by Global Internal Audit.

The design, build and implementation of credit rating models resides with a specialist Group-level team. Credit rating models are owned by central Risk teams. The use (including overrides) and performance of credit rating models is monitored by the relevant business and their counterparts in Risk, and validated regularly by a separate specialist Group-level function. This cycle of design, build, implementation, monitoring and validation is overseen by the CRSOC, and informs the need for new models or recalibration of existing models.

Risk grades are an integral part of reporting to the Board and executives.

In addition, the use of the rating system’s outputs in key business unit performance measures in processes such as provisioning and the allocation of economic capital ensures that the rating system receives robust input from the business units, not just the specialist modelling teams.

Rating process by asset class

Building reliable and accurate rating tools requires balancing of many factors including data availability (external data may be used in some circumstances, where it is relevant), the size of the segment (the more customers within the segment, the more likely that statistically reliable models can be built), and the need to be able to validate the model. Rating tool approaches include:

  • Statistical models producing a PD or a LGD, which are developed from internal or external data on defaults.

  • Statistical models producing an internal rating, which involve calibrating ANZ’s models to external rating data where data on defaults is insufficient for statistical purposes (such as banks).

  • Hybrid statistical and expert models producing an internal rating, which use a mixture of default data and expert input.

  • Expert models/processes that produce an internal rating, including external rating agency replication models.

Ongoing data collection and testing processes ensure enhanced or new models are introduced as required to maintain and improve the accuracy and reliability of rating processes.

Regardless of what credit risk rating tool is used, lending staff rating a customer are required to review the model-generated PD (or CCR) and take into account any out-of-model factors or policy overlays to decide whether or not to override the model rating. Overrides of a rating model to a better rating require approval from the independent credit risk function. The significance of the model for risk grading varies with the customer segment: models will dominate risk grading of homogenous, simple and data-rich segments such as in Retail, however for complex, specialised business segments expert knowledge and the highly customised nature of transactions will influence the rating outcome.

For the Retail Basel asset class (Residential Mortgages, Qualifying Revolving Retail and Other Retail Exposures) the large number of relatively homogenous exposures enable the development of statistically robust application scoring models for use at origination and behavioural scoring for ongoing management. As noted above, the scores are calibrated to PD, and used to allocate exposures to homogenous pools, along with LGD and EAD.

Estimation of LGD and EAD

ANZ’s LGD modelling takes into account data on secured recovery, unsecured recovery rates and debt seniority, geography and internal management costs from several major data sources. Internal data is used as the basis for LGD estimation in the retail asset class, and is supplemented by external data for the corporate asset class. Given the scarcity of internal data for Bank and Sovereign Basel asset classes, LGD modelling for these classes is primarily based on external data.

EAD represents the expected facility exposure at the date of default, including an estimate of additional drawings prior to default, as well as post-default drawings that were legally committed to prior to default.

26 Specialised Lending exposures are rated with internal rating tools to produce a PD and LGD. These are used in internal processes, but not for regulatory capital purposes where the exposures are mapped to Supervisory Slots.

27 In accordance with APS 330, EAD in Table 9(d) includes Advanced IRB exposures; however does not include Specialised Lending, Standardised, Securitisation, Equities or Other Assets exposures. Specialised Lending is excluded from Table 9(d) as it follows the Supervisory Slotting treatment, and a breakdown of risk weightings is provided in Table 8(b).

28 Average EAD is calculated as total EAD post risk mitigants divided by the total number of credit risk generating exposures.

29 Exposure-weighted average risk weight (%) is calculated as CRWA divided by EAD.

APS 330 Table 9f compares internal credit risk estimates used in calculating regulatory capital with realised outcomes by portfolio types. It covers the PD, EAD and LGD estimates for the IRB portfolios.

Estimated PD and LGD for Specialised Lending exposures have not been provided, since APRA requires the use of supervisory slotting for Regulatory EL calculations.

Actual PD, EAD ratio, Estimated LGD and Actual LGD for Sovereign exposures have not been provided, since there was no Sovereign defaults observed in ANZ Sovereign exposures for the observation period.

The estimated PD is based on the average of the internally estimated long-run PD’s for obligors that are not in default at the beginning of each financial year over the period of observation being 2009 to September 2014. The actual PD is based on the number of defaulted obligors compared to the total number of obligors measured at the beginning of each financial year over the period of observation being 2009 to September 2014

The EAD ratio compares internally estimated EAD prior to default to realised EAD for defaulted obligors over the four years of observation being 2009 to 2013 financial years. A ratio greater than1.0 signifies that on average, the actual defaulted exposures are lower than the estimated exposures at the time of default.

The estimated LGD is the internal estimates of downturn LGD for accounts that defaulted at the beginning of each year during the observation period being 2009 to 2013 financial years. The actual LGD is based on the average realised losses over the period for the accounts observed at beginning and defaulted during the observation period. For non-retail portfolios, the estimated and actual LGDs are based on accounts that defaulted in 2009 to 2011 financial years. For retail portfolios, the estimated and actual LGDs are based on accounts that defaulted in 2009 to 2013 financial years. For non-retail portfolios, defaults occurring in the 2012 and 2013 have been excluded from the analysis to allow sufficient time for workout period. For retail portfolios, defaults occurring in 2013 have been excluded. For non-retail portfolios, actual LGD for defaults where workouts were not finalised have been estimated to approximate the final actual loss. For the retail portfolios, defaults with nonfinalised workout have been excluded from the analysis.

In assessing the accuracy of the credit risk estimates, it should be noted that the period of analysis does not cover a full economic cycle

Table 10 Credit risk mitigation disclosures

Main types of collateral taken by ANZ

Collateral is used to mitigate credit risk, as the secondary source of repayment in case the counterparty cannot meet its contractual repayment obligations.[30] Types of collateral typically taken by ANZ include:

  • Charges over residential, commercial, industrial or rural property.

  • Charges over business assets.

  • Charges over specific plant and equipment.

  • Charges over listed shares, bonds or securities.

  • Charges over cash deposits.

  • Guarantees and pledges.

In some cases, such as where the customer risk profile is considered very sound or by the nature of the product (for instance, small limit products such as credit cards), a transaction may not be supported by collateral.

Credit policy, requirements and processes set out the acceptable types of collateral, as well as a process by which additional instruments and/or asset types can be considered for approval. ANZ’s credit risk modelling teams use historical internal loss data and other relevant external data to assist in determining the discount that each type would be expected to incur in a forced sale. The discounted value is used in the determination of a SI for LGD purposes.

Policies and processes for collateral valuation and management

ANZ has well established policies, requirements and processes around collateral valuation and management. The concepts of legal enforceability, certainty and current valuation are central to collateral management.

In order to achieve legal enforceability and certainty, ANZ uses standard collateral instruments or has specific documentation drawn up by external legal advisers, and where applicable, security interests are registered. The use of collateral management systems also provides certainty that the collateral has been properly taken, registered and stored.

In order to rely on the valuation of collateral assets, ANZ has developed comprehensive rules around acceptable types of valuations (including who may value an asset), the frequency of revaluations and standard extension ratios for typical asset types. Upon receipt of a new valuation, the information is used to recalculate the SI (or to reassess the adequacy of the provision, in the case of an impaired asset), thereby ensuring that the exposure has an updated LGD attached to it for risk quantification purposes.

Guarantee support

Guarantee support for lending proposals are an integral component in transaction structuring for ANZ. The guarantee of a financially strong party can help improve the PD of a transaction through its explicit support of the weaker rated borrower.

Guarantees that are recognised for risk rating purposes may be provided by parties that include associated entities, banks, sovereigns or individuals. Credit requirements provide threshold parameters to determine acceptable counterparties in achieving risk grade enhancement of the transaction.

The suitability of the guarantor is determined by risk rating that guarantor. Not all guarantees or guarantors are recognised for risk grade enhancement purposes.

Use of credit derivatives for risk mitigation

ANZ uses purchased credit derivatives to mitigate credit risk by lowering exposures to reference entities that generate high concentration risk exposures or to improve risk return performance.

Only certain credit derivatives such as credit default swaps (CDS) are recognised for risk mitigation purposes in the determination of regulatory capital. A CDS entails the payment by one party in

30 For some products, the collateral provided is fundamental to its structuring so is not strictly the secondary source of repayment. For example, lending secured by trade receivables is typically repaid by the collection of those receivables.

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

exchange for credit default protection payment if a credit default event on a reference asset occurs. Standard, legally enforceable documentation applies.

For regulatory capital purposes, ANZ only recognises protection using credit derivatives where they meet several policy and regulatory requirements around the strength of the protection offered such as being irrevocable.

A CDS may only be transacted with banks and non-bank financial institutions that have been credit assessed and approved by a designated specialist credit officer. All parties must meet minimum credit standards and be allocated a related credit limit. In the event that the creditworthiness of a credit protection provider falls below the minimum required to provide effective protection, the protection is no longer recognised as an effective risk mitigant for regulatory purposes.

The use of netting

Netting is a form of credit risk mitigation in that it reduces EAD, by offsetting a customer’s positive and negative balances with ANZ.

In order to apply on-balance sheet netting, the arrangement must be specifically documented with the customer and meet a number of legally enforceable requirements.

Netting is also used where the credit exposure arises from off-balance sheet market related transactions. For close-out netting to be utilised with counterparties, a legally enforceable eligible netting agreement in an acceptable jurisdiction must be in place. This means that each transaction is aggregated into a single net amount and transactions are netted to arrive at a single overall sum.

Transaction structuring to mitigate credit risk

Besides collateral, guarantee support and derivatives described above, credit risk mitigation can also be furthered by prudent transaction structuring. For example, the risk in project finance lending can be mitigated by lending covenants, loan syndication and political risk insurance.

Concentrations of credit risk mitigation

Taking collateral raises the possibility that ANZ may inadvertently increase its risk by becoming exposed to collateral concentrations. For example, in the same way that an over-exposure to a particular industry may mean that a bank is more sensitive to the fortunes of that industry, an overexposure to a particular collateral asset type may make ANZ more sensitive to the performance of that asset type.

ANZ does not believe that it has any material concentrations of collateral types, given the well diversified nature of its portfolio and conservative asset extension ratios.

Table 11 General disclosures for derivatives and counterparty credit risk

Definition of counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk in derivative transactions arises from the risk of counterparty default before settlement date of derivative contracts and the counterparty is unable to fulfill present and future contractual payment obligations. The amount at risk may change over time as a function of the underlying market parameters up to the positive value of the contract in favour of ANZ.

Counterparty credit risk is present in market instruments (derivatives and forward contracts), and comprises:

  • Settlement risk, which arises where one party makes payment or delivers value in the expectation but without certainty that the counterparty will perform the corresponding obligation in a bilateral contract at settlement date.

  • Market replacement risk (pre-settlement risk), which is the risk that a counterparty will default during the life of a derivative contract and that a loss will be incurred in covering the position.

ANZ transacts market instruments with the following counterparties:

  • End users – would typically use over the counter derivative instruments provided by ANZ to manage price movement risk associated with their core business activity.

  • Professional counterparties – ANZ may hedge price movement risks by entering into transactions with professional counterparties that conduct two way (buy and sell) business.

Counterparty credit risk requires a different method to calculate exposure at default because actual and potential market movements impact ANZ’s exposure or replacement cost. The markets covered by this treatment include the derivative activities associated with interest rate, foreign exchange, CDS, equity, commodity and repurchase agreement (repo) products.

Counterparty credit risk governance

ANZ’s counterparty credit risk management is governed by its credit principles, policies and procedures. The Counterparty Credit Risk function is responsible for determining the counterparty credit risk exposure methodology applied to market instruments, in the framework for counterparty credit limit management, measurement and reporting.

The counterparty credit risk associated with derivative transactions is governed by credit limit setting consistent with all credit exposures to the ANZ Group. Counterparty credit limits are approved by the appropriate credit delegation holders.

Counterparty credit risk measurement and reporting

The approach to measure counterparty credit risk exposure is based on internal models. These measures are referred to as potential credit risk exposure (PCRE) and potential future exposure (PFE) and measure the worst case credit exposure of derivative transactions at future time points. PFE is measured at the 97.5[th] percentile at future pre-described time points, and PCRE is a 97.5[th] percentile averaged over time points.

ANZ is moving from PCRE based on add-on methodology to a more sophisticated PFE Monte Carlo based approach to assess possible exposure movements for certain derivative products and will use these estimates in internal Economic Capital calculations.

PCRE factors recognise that prices may change over the remaining period to maturity, and that risk decreases as the contract’s remaining term to maturity decreases. In general terms PCRE is calculated by applying a risk weighting or volatility factor to the face value of the notional principal of individual trades.

PFE simulates relevant risk factors in a portfolio by taking into account the relevant volatilities and correlations calibrated to historical market data.

PFE and PCRE models are also used by credit officers to establish credit limits on an uncommitted and unadvised basis, to ensure the potential volatility of the transaction value is recognised. Counterparty credit risk exposure is calculated six times per 24 hour day and excesses above approved limits are reported to account controllers and Credit officers for action.

Credit value adjustment (CVA)

Over the life of a derivative instrument, ANZ uses a CVA model to adjust fair value to take into account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology calculates the present value of

59

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

expected losses over the life of the financial instrument as a function of PD, LGD, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor.

APRA requires banks to hold additional risk based capital to cover the risk of mark to market losses associated with deterioration in counterparty credit worthiness when entering into derivatives transactions. The effect is that banks are required to increase the amount of capital provisioned for deterioration in the counterparty credit worthiness when entering into a derivatives trade.

Wrong way risk

ANZ’s management of counterparty credit risk also considers the possibility of wrong way risk, which emerges when PD is adversely correlated with counterparty credit risk exposures. ANZ’s credit policies and independent transaction evaluation by Credit Risk are central to managing wrong way risk.

Counterparty credit risk mitigation and credit enhancements

ANZ’s primary tools to mitigate counterparty credit risk include:

  • A bilateral netting master agreement (e.g. an International Swaps and Derivatives Association - ISDA) allowing close-out netting of exposures in a portfolio with offsetting contracts, with a single net payment with the same legal counterparty.

  • Use of collateral agreements in some transactions based on standard market documentation (i.e. ISDA master agreement with credit support annex) that governs the amount of collateral required to be posted or received by ANZ throughout the life of the contract. Some agreements are linked to external credit ratings which means in the event of a party’s (ANZ or a counterparty) external rating being downgraded, it would likely be required to lodge collateral. The operation of collateral agreements falls under policy which establishes the control framework to ensure a robust and globally consistent approach to the management of collaterised exposures.

  • Use of right to break clauses in master agreement or in trade confirmation to reduce term of long dated derivative trades.

  • Independent limit setting, credit exposure control, monitoring and reporting of excesses against approved credit limits.

  • Additional termination triggers (close out of exposure) such as credit rating downgrade clauses and change in ownership clauses included in documentation.

  • Linking covenants and events of default in existing loan facility agreement to master agreement.

  • Use of credit derivatives to hedge counterparty credit risk exposure.

  • Settlement through Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) to eliminate settlement risk for foreign exchange transactions with CLS members.

  • Clearing certain derivative transactions through central counterparty clearing houses.

In the event of a downgrading of ANZ’s rating by one notch from AA- to A+, as at 30 September 2014, ANZ would be required to lodge USD586 million additional collateral with its counterparties. This represents a small percentage of ANZ's overall liquidity portfolio.

Chapter 7 – Securitisation

Table 12 Securitisation disclosures

Definition of securitisation and resecuritisation

A securitisation is a financial structure where the cash flow from a pool of assets is used to service obligations to at least two different tranches or classes of creditors,[32] typically holders of debt securities, with each class or tranche reflecting a different degree of credit risk. This stratification of credit risk means that one class of creditors is entitled to receive payments from the pool before another class. A resecuritisation exposure is a securitisation exposure in which the risk associated with an underlying pool of exposures is tranched and at least one of the underlying exposures is a securitisation exposure.

Securitisations may be categorised as:

  • Traditional securitisations, where legal ownership of the underlying asset pool is transferred to investors, with principal and interest paid from realisation of or regular cash flows from the assets. The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) assets are insulated from bankruptcy of the seller or servicer.

  • Synthetic securitisations, where credit risk is transferred to a third party but legal ownership of the underlying assets remain with the originator e.g. by using credit derivatives or guarantees.

Regulatory capital approaches used in ANZ’s securitisation activities

For securitisation exposures held in ANZ’s banking book[33] , ANZ applies an IRB approach (as outlined in APS 120) to determine the regulatory capital charge.

Chapter 8 outlines regulatory capital treatment for securitisation exposures held in ANZ’s trading book.

Securitisation activities

ANZ’s key securitisation activities are:

  • Securitisation of third-party originated assets, including residential mortgages, credit cards, auto and equipment loans and trade receivables.

  • Investment in securities – ANZ may purchase notes issued by securitisation programs.

  • • Securitisation of ANZ originated assets (including self securitisation) as a funding and liquidity management tool, which may or may not involve the transfer of credit risk i.e. may or may not provide regulatory capital relief.

  • Provision of facilities and services to securitisations or resecuritisations (where the underlying assets may be ANZ or third-party originated) e.g. structuring and arranging services, providing funding and/or swaps to securitisation vehicles and (via ANZ Capel Court Limited) trust management services.

Similar to other exposures, securitisation exposures are subject to credit, market, operational and legal risks. Roles and responsibilities are clearly outlined in ANZ’s established risk management framework of policies and procedures, including:

  • Appropriate risk management systems to identify, measure, monitor and manage the risks arising from its involvement in securitisation exposures;

  • Impact of ANZ’s involvement in securitisation exposures on its risk profile; and

  • How ANZ ensures that it does not provide any implicit support to its securitisation exposures.

Historically, ANZ utilised a conduit structure to facilitate the securitising of third party originated assets via the issuance of asset backed commercial paper (ABCP). The conduit is no longer issuing ABCP due to changes in regulatory and market conditions. Funding is instead provided on third party originated exposures via balance sheet funded arrangements where such arrangements satisfy ANZ’s credit, due diligence and other business requirements.

32 APRA’s definition of securitisation includes certain cases where only one tranche or class of creditors is serviced by the cash flow from the pool of assets.

33 Exposures are classified into either the trading book or the banking book. In general terms, the trading book consists of positions in financial instruments and commodities held with trading intent or in order to hedge other elements of the trading book, and the banking book contains all other exposures. Banking book exposures are typically held to maturity, in contrast to the shorter term, trading nature of the trading book.

61

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

ANZ has no affiliated entities that ANZ manages or advises and that invests in securitisation exposures that ANZ has securitised or in SPV’s that ANZ sponsors.

Governance of securitisation activities

Governance of securitisation activities is overseen by the Board and executive committees described in Chapter 3, and managed in accordance with the credit risk and market risk frameworks described in Chapters 6 and 8.

Many functions within ANZ are involved in securitisation activities given the range of activities undertaken and risks that need to be managed. For origination and structuring, ANZ has a specialist securitisation team with independent Risk personnel overseeing operations. Credit decisions require joint Risk and business approval. The securitisation team must be involved in all non-trading securitisation transactions across ANZ, which ensures consistent expert treatment. Where ANZ invests in instruments issued by securitisation programs, the relevant business area manages these exposures until the securitisation or resecuritisation exposures are repaid in full or traded.

Risk measurement and reporting of securitisation exposures

In accordance with APS 120, ANZ has a hierarchy of approaches available to quantify the credit risk of banking book securitisation exposures. The most common approaches used are the Ratings Based Approach (specifically utilising the external ratings of ECAI’s) and the Internal Assessment Approach (IAA).

When utilising the IAA, ANZ uses a rating agency-type methodology which specifies certain stress factors, takes into account historical performance of assets and other (asset-specific) considerations such as underwriting standards. IAA methodology is applied in accordance with APRA’s requirements and it forms part of ANZ’s overall securitisation risk-grading framework.

All facilities provided to or investments in securitisation programs (across both the banking and trading books) undergo initial and ongoing due diligence. This due diligence is completed with input from the Risk function and includes analysing the structure of the transaction and monitoring of the performance of the underlying assets of the transaction. In addition, such exposures are formally reviewed at least annually, including the risk grade.

The type and frequency of internal reporting on ANZ’s securitisation exposures is as follows:

  • Facilities provided to securitisation programs are reported using standard credit reporting systems, distinguished by appropriate product codes. The regular reporting frequency for most of these systems is monthly.

  • Investments in securitisations are reported through the banking book or the trading book on a monthly basis.

The use and treatment of Credit Risk Mitigation (“CRM”) techniques with respect to securitisation exposures is assessed on a case-by-case basis in a manner consistent with the bank-wide CRM methodology.[34]

Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies governing ANZ’s securitisation activities are outlined in ANZ’s 2014 Annual Report, Notes to the Financial Statements. These include the valuation, derecognition, consolidation and income recognition principles outlined in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies and the critical judgments applied to these policies outlined in Note 2 – Critical Estimates and Judgments Used in Applying Accounting Policies. ANZ applies these group accounting policies to its securitisation activities, as appropriate.. Note 40 – Transfers of Financial Assets also provides details about the nature of ANZ’s securitisation activities and certain accounting policies as they specifically apply to these activities.

The policies as they apply to ANZ’s securitisation activities have changed since the prior period as the new accounting standard AASB 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements applied to ANZ from 1 October 2013. The standard replaced the previous Interpretation 112 – Consolidated Special Purpose Entities and establishes the principles for when ANZ controls another entity. Any Structured Entity (SE) (previously referred to as SPV) used in ANZ’s securitisation activities are assessed for control under the requirements of this new standard. Where control is determined to exist, the SE is consolidated into ANZ’s financial statements. Financial instruments held or issued either by SEs consolidated by ANZ or those held or issued to a non-consolidated SE are recognised and valued using the principles of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

34 For example, various types of analysis including quantitative analysis of credit enhancements are performed for non-externally rated transactions. Factors such as geography, facility / transaction type and ANZ’s role will determine the applicable CRM techniques to apply.

62

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

For synthetic securitisations, any transferred credit exposure is recognised through the fair value measurement of the segregated embedded or stand-alone credit derivative established within the structure.

To the extent that ANZ has exposures intended to be securitised, they could reside in either the banking or trading book.

To the extent that ANZ has entered into contractual arrangements that could require it to provide financial support for securitised assets e.g. liquidity facilities, these are recognised in accordance with the accounting policies set out in ANZ’s 2014 Annual Report.

Use of external rating agencies

Where the use of external rating agencies is relevant, ANZ applies the ratings or the rating methodologies provided by Standard & Poor’s, Moody's Investor Services and/or Fitch Ratings as appropriate.

Chapter 8 – Market risk

Table 13 Market risk – Standard approach

ANZ uses the standard model approach to measure market risk capital for interest rate risk – specific risk[36] , equity specific risk and electricity trading risk factors. For internal purposes only ANZ also uses an internal model for electricity.

For interest rate risk – specific risk, ANZ’s internal VaR model captures general interest rate and credit spread risk for all products, but not the credit spread risk associated with individual issuers of interest rate products.

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Table 14 Market risk – Internal models approach

Definition and scope of market risk

Market risk stems from ANZ’s trading and balance sheet activities and is the risk to ANZ’s earnings arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility, correlations or from fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

Market risk management of IRRBB is described in Chapter 11 and excluded from this Chapter.

Regulatory approval to use the Internal Models Approach

ANZ has been approved by APRA to use the Internal Models Approach (IMA) under APS 116 Capital Adequacy: Market Risk for all trading portfolios except for specific interest rate risk, equity specific risk and electricity trading. ANZ uses the Standardised approach to market risk capital for these segments.

Governance of market risk

The Board Risk Committee oversight of market risk is supported by the CMRC as described in Chapter 3.

The Markets Risk function is a specialist risk management unit independent of the business that is responsible for:

  • Designing and implementing policies and procedures to ensure market risk exposures are managed within the appetite and limit framework set by the Board.

  • Measuring and monitoring market risk exposures, and approving counterparty and associated risks.

  • The ongoing effectiveness and appropriateness of the risk management framework.

Traded market risk

The Traded, Foreign Exchange and Commodity Market Risk Policy and accompanying procedures (together the “TFC Framework”) governs the management of traded market risk and its key components include:

  • A clear definition of the trading book.

  • A comprehensive set of requirements that promote the proactive identification and communication of risk.

  • A robust Value at Risk (VaR) quantification approach supplemented by comprehensive stress testing.

  • A comprehensive limit framework that controls all material market risks.

  • An independent Markets Risk function with specific responsibilities.

  • Regular and effective reporting of market risk to executive management and the Board.

Measurement of market risk

ANZ’s traded market risk management framework incorporates a risk measurement approach to quantify the magnitude of market risk within trading books. This approach and related analysis identifies the range of outcomes that can be expected over a given period of time and establishes the relative likelihood of those outcomes.

ANZ’s key tools to measure and manage traded market risk on a daily basis are VaR, sensitivities and stress tests. VaR is calculated in two forms – Standard and Stressed. Standard VaR is based on a historical simulation using a 500 day observation period. Stressed VaR is based on a one-year period of stressed market conditions. Traded VaR is calculated at a 99% confidence level with one and tenday holding periods for standard VaR, and a ten-day holding period for stressed VaR. All material market risk factors and all trading portfolios are captured within the VaR model, with the exception of specific interest rate risk, equity specific risk and electricity trading, for which capital is calculated using the Standardised approach described in Table 13(b).

ANZ also applies a wide range of stress tests to the Group trading portfolio and to individual trading portfolios. Standard stress tests are executed daily and measure the potential loss that would arise from the largest market movements during the previous seven years given prescribed holding periods. The prescribed holding periods used in the stress tests vary to reflect the liquidity of each product type.

78

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Results from stress testing on severe yet plausible scenarios are calculated monthly and potential losses are reported to the CMRC.

VaR and stress tests are also supplemented by cumulative loss limits and detailed control limits. Cumulative loss limits ensure that in the event of continued losses from a trading activity, the trading activity is stopped and senior management reviews before trading is resumed. Where necessary, detailed control limits such as sensitivity or position limits are also in place to ensure appropriate control is exercised over a specific risk or product.

Comparison of VaR estimates to gains/losses

Back testing involves comparing VaR calculations with corresponding profit and loss to identify how often trading losses exceed the calculated VaR. For APRA back testing purposes, VaR is calculated at the 99% confidence interval with a one-day holding period.

Back testing is conducted daily, and outliers are analysed to determine whether they are the result of trading decisions, systemic changes in market conditions or issues related to the VaR model (historical data or model calibration).

ANZ uses actual and hypothetical profit and loss data. Hypothetical data is designed to remove the impacts of intraday trading and sales margins. It is calculated as the difference between the value of the prior day portfolio at prior day closing rates and the value at current day closing rates. Markets Finance calculates actual profit and loss while Market Risk calculates hypothetical profit and loss.

Total traded market risk back testing exceptions were within the APS 116 green zone for the period.

The following table discloses the high, mean and low VaR values over the reporting period and at period end.

Reporting of market risk

Market Risk reports daily VaR and stress testing results to senior management in Market Risk and the Global Markets business. Market Risk expediently escalates details of any limit breach to the appropriate discretion holder within Market Risk and to Group Risk, and report to the CMRC each month.

Market Risk monitors and analyses back testing results daily and reports results to the CMRC quarterly.

Mitigation of market risk

The Market Risk team’s responsibilities, including the reporting and escalation processes described above, are fundamental to how market risk is managed. Market Risk has presence in all the major dealing operations centres in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and America.

Commodities risk

Commodity price risk arises as a result of movement in prices of various commodities. All exposures are transferred to the trading book and centrally managed by the Global Markets business and monitored by Market Risk in accordance with the TFC framework.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises as a result of movements in relative values of various currencies.

Exposures from ANZ’s normal operating business and trading activities are recorded in core multicurrency systems and managed within the trading book in accordance with the TFC framework.

Structural exposures from foreign investments and capital management activities are managed in accordance with policies approved by the Board Risk Committee, with the main objective of ensuring that ANZ’s capital ratio is largely protected from changes in foreign exchange. As at 30 September 2014, ANZ’s investment in ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited is the main source of the structural foreign exchange exposure.

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Chapter 9 – Operational risk

Table 15 Operational risk

Definition of operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, and the risk of reputation loss, or damage arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, but excludes strategic risk.

The objective of operational risk management is to ensure that risks are identified, assessed, measured, evaluated, treated, monitored and reported in a structured environment with appropriate governance oversight. ANZ does not expect to eliminate all risks, but to ensure that the residual risk exposure is managed as low as reasonably practical based on a sound risk/reward analysis in the context of an international financial institution.

ANZ has been authorised by APRA to use the advanced measurement approach (AMA) for calculation of operational risk capital requirements under APS 115 Capital Adequacy: Advanced Measurement Approaches to Operational Risk. This methodology applies across all of ANZ.

Operational risk governance and structure

The ANZ Board has delegated its powers to the Risk Committee to approve the ANZ Operational Risk Framework which is in accordance with Australian Prudential Standard APS 115. Operational Risk Executive Committee (OREC) is the primary senior executive management forum responsible for the oversight of operational risk and the compliance risk control environment. OREC supports the Risk Committee in relation to the carrying out of its role in connection with operational risk and compliance. OREC undertakes review and challenge of ANZ’s operational risk profile including treatment plans for extreme risks.

Divisional Risk Committees and Business Unit Risk Forums manage and maintain oversight of operational risks supported by thresholds for escalation and monitoring. Day to day management of operational risk is the accountability of every employee. Business Units undertake operational risk activities as part of this accountability. This includes implementation of the operational risk framework and involvement in decision making processes concerning all material operational risk matters. Divisional risk personnel provide oversight of operational risk undertaken in the Business Units.

Enterprise Operational Risk is responsible for exercising governance over operational risk through the management of the operational risk frameworks, policy development, framework assurance, operational risk measurement and capital allocations and reporting of operational risk issues to executive committees.

Three lines of defence

The three lines of defence are Business first line, Divisional and Group risk functions second line and Internal Audit the third line. The First and Second Lines of Defence have defined roles, responsibilities and escalation paths to support effective two way communication and management of operational risk at ANZ. There are also on-going review mechanisms in place to ensure the Operational Risk Measurement and Management Framework (ORMMF) and Compliance frameworks continue to meet organisational needs and regulatory requirements.

The Business has first line of defence responsibility for managing operational risk including obligations to:

  • Take primary accountability for the understanding of key risks and related control environment.

  • undertake day-to-day management of risks, related decision-making and reporting.

  • promote a strong risk culture of adhering to thresholds, managing risk exposure and making sustainable business decisions.

  • ensure operational risk information is up to date and reflective of the true operational risk position.

81

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Operational Risk functions (Divisional and Enterprise) form the second line of defence accountable for:

Division

  • undertake independent oversight in the application of the ORMMF.

  • coordinating, oversight and reporting on material operational risks and change initiatives.

  • contributing to the identification of systemic issues and risk collation across the Division.

  • undertake review and challenge of business activities and ensure that the strategy is maintained across the division

Enterprise

  • develop and maintain relevant policies and procedures to support consistent execution and continuing appropriateness of Operational Risk Measurement and Management Framework (ORMMF).

  • setting and monitoring compliance with the Group Operational Risk Appetite Statements (RAS).

  • undertake independent review and challenge of business activities and ensure that the strategy is maintained across the enterprise.

  • leading scenario analysis and operational risk capital calculation process.

  • central point of contact with regulators in regards to operational risk.

  • ensure a strong risk management culture across the enterprise.

With Global Internal Audit being the third line of defence accountable for:

  • providing independent and objective assurance to management and ANZ Board regarding compliance with policy and regulatory requirements.

  • performing objective assessments across all geographies, Divisions, Lines of Business and processes.

  • ensuring independent review of the adequacy of the ORMMF is undertaken.

Collectively Global Internal Audit, Operational Risk functions, Divisions and Business Units are responsible for monitoring and reporting to Executive Management, the Board, Regulators and others.

82

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Operational risk principles

ANZ has developed a comprehensive framework to manage operational risk and compliance which includes the following operational risk management principles:

Principle 1:
Risk Governance
ANZ recognises operational risk as a primary risk category and has an
effective and embedded operational risk governance structure. This
includes a dedicated and independent operational risk management
function and an executive committee for oversight of operational risk
across ANZ, supported by organisation wide policies, procedures and
systems.
Principle 2:
Risk Culture
ANZ
believes
risk
management
is
everyone’s
responsibility
and
encourages a culture of prompt escalation of risk to staff sufficiently senior
to drive resolution. This culture is supported by clearly articulated roles
and responsibilities to ensure effective measurement and management of
operational risk.
Principle 3:
Risk Appetite and
Objective Setting
ANZ’s Board is responsible for the overall operational risk profile and
accordingly has an approved operational risk appetite, including
thresholds for risk assessment and reporting that determines the risk
boundaries within which the business must operate to set its strategy.
Principle 4:
Risk and Control
Assessment
ANZ periodically identifies and assesses its exposure to key operational
risk within all existing and new products, processes, projects and systems,
and assesses the key controls in place to manage these risks.
Principle 5:
Loss and Incident
Management
ANZ incorporates analysis of loss, incident and control failure into
improving the underlying control environment by defining clearly
articulated risk response strategies. This includes effective contingency
and business continuity plans that enable it to operate on an ongoing
basis and limit losses in the event of severe business disruption.
Principle 6:
Capital Calculation
ANZ holds capital commensurate with its operational risk, and maintains
comprehensive and well documented operational risk capital processes for
calculating its operational risk capital, including monitoring for material
changes to capital exposure.
Principle 7:
Risk Monitoring and
Reporting
ANZ maintains a comprehensive and sustainable approach for monitoring
and reporting relevant operational risk data, and monitors material
changes to operational risk exposure, including Key Risk Indicators (KRIs),
to support the proactive management of operational risk across the
Group.
Principle 8:
Assurance and
Continuous
Improvement
ANZ has appropriate review processes to continuously evaluate the
effectiveness and relevance of its operational risk measurement and
management processes to meet organisational needs and regulatory
requirements.
Principle 9:
Risk Based Decision
Making
ANZ ensures effective integration of day to day operational risk
management with outputs from the operational risk measurement
processes, to support risk based decision making.

ANZ’s operational risk framework is delivered through:

  • Level 1 ANZ Board Operational Risk Policy (the Principles) – approved by the Board Risk Committee, sets the operational risk principles for governing the overall measurement and management of operational risk across ANZ.

  • Level 2 Global Operational Risk Measurement and Management Policy (the Policy) – approved by the Board Risk Committee, outlines the core standards, roles and responsibilities and minimum requirements of the way in which operational risk is measured and managed, in line with Level 1 ANZ Board Operational Risk Policy and APS 115.

83

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

  • Level 2A Global Operational Risk Procedures (the Procedures) – owned by Enterprise Operational Risk, provide the procedures to support the consistent application of Level 1 and Level 2 Global Operational Risk Policies across ANZ. The procedures are further augmented by tools, templates, systems and on-going training.

Operational risk management

Risk and Controls are managed as part of business as usual right across the organisation. Risk management, supported by a strong Risk Culture, ensures all staff are thinking about and managing risk on a daily basis – “Risk is Everyone’s Responsibility”. However, Senior Management needs visibility of the key risks. These are the risks that if they materialised, would adversely affect the achievement of business objectives, ANZ’s reputation, regulatory compliance or impact key processes (i.e. the risks that really matter, not all risks) and are typically inherent high and extreme risks.

Day-to-day management of operational risk is the responsibility of business unit line management and staff. This includes:

  • Primary accountability for the understanding of key risks and related control environment.

  • Analysis of identified risks, including assessing the inherent and residual risk after consideration of controls currently in place. This requires analysis of the potential consequences of failing to deal with the risks, the likelihood of the risks being realised and the effectiveness of the key controls in place to prevent or mitigate the risk.

  • Evaluation of the risk to determine whether it is within Board approved risk appetite.

  • Identification and implementation of risk treatment options to improve the key controls over the risk for those risks that are outside the risk appetite. When the preferred risk treatment option is selected the risk treatment plan is documented.

  • Ensure operational risk information is up to date and reflective of the true operational risk position.

  • Monitoring and review of treatment plans, operational risks and controls, including testing the key controls and reporting on the current operational risk profile.

  • Promote a strong risk culture of adhering to thresholds, managing risk exposure and making sustainable risk decisions.

  • Dedicated Divisional and Group Corporate Centre Risk Governance teams play a support, monitoring, oversight and challenge role with Global Internal Audit providing independent assurance and review.

Operational risk mitigation

In line with industry practice, ANZ obtains insurance to cover those operational risks where costeffective premiums can be obtained. In conducting their business, Business Units are advised to act as if uninsured and not to use insurance as a guaranteed mitigant for operational risk. ANZ’s Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) operational risk regulatory capital calculation does not utilise insurance as a risk mitigation.

ANZ has business continuity, recovery and crisis management plans. The intention of the business continuity and recovery plans is to ensure critical business functions can be maintained, or restored in a timely fashion, in the event of material disruptions arising from internal or external events.

Crisis management planning at Group and country levels supplement business continuity plans in the event of a broader group or country crisis. Crisis management plans include crisis team structures, roles, responsibilities and contact lists, and are subject to testing.

Operational risk reporting

ANZ’s operational risk management includes a system for capturing internal losses, case management and reporting. Operational risk and compliance events (including actual losses, near misses and breaches) are recorded and managed to ensure timely, complete and accurate reporting.

The Corporate Centre and Business Unit risk functions prepare reporting. OREC’s role is to review and, if appropriate, approve the risk mitigation and monitor associated action plans.

ANZ’s advanced measurement approach

Enterprise Operational Risk is responsible for maintaining ANZ’s AMA for operational risk measurement and capital allocation.

Operational risk capital is held to protect depositors and shareholders of the bank from rare and severe unexpected losses. In order to quantify the overall operational risk profile, ANZ maintains and calculates operational risk capital (including regulatory and economic capital), on at least a six

84

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

monthly basis. The capital is calculated using scaled external loss data, internal loss data and scenarios as a direct input and risk registers as an indirect input.

ANZ typically models capital at a divisional level. Once calculated, the capital is allocated to lines of business according to risk exposure (key allocation drivers). Understanding the makeup of the key allocation drivers allows lines of business to consider capital impacts when making decisions. Accordingly, capital allocations are structured to encourage businesses to effectively manage their operational risk exposures e.g. improve controls, reduce losses etc.

In the event of an ‘off cycle’ scenario review, a recalculation is performed to judge the sensitivity of the change on capital. The outcomes of the off cycle calculation are shared with executive management and decisions are made as to whether to adjust capital or incorporate a scenario change in to the next capital update. This ensures that capital levels are responsive to material changes in risk levels across ANZ.

Capital modelling uses the following expected and unexpected losses as data inputs:

  • Minimum of five years of historical internal losses captured and reported in the Bank-wide Operational Loss Database (BOLD).

  • Relevant external losses, sourced from the Operational Risk Data Exchange (ORX), an industry data base comprising the anonymised loss data from over 60 member banks.

  • Scenario analysis, unexpected potential loss estimates for severe but plausible risk events.

ANZ does not use expected loss offsets for the purposes of regulatory capital modelling and does not recognise the risk-mitigating effect of insurance in determining operational risk capital.

Operational risk capital is derived using probability distributions and calculated using Monte Carlo simulations using a mathematical method called a loss distribution approach.

Operational risk modelling is performed by a specialist central function. The data inputs are combined using a loss distribution approach and include the following:

  • Historical internal losses captured and reported in an internal loss database.

  • Relevant external losses sourced from ORX. Scenario analysis data for severe but plausible risk events, elicited in workshops with risk and business professionals.

Capital outcomes include:

  • Operational risk regulatory capital to meet the regulatory capital soundness standard based on a 99.9% confidence interval in accordance with APS 115.

  • Economic Capital based on a 99.97% confidence interval.

Compliance

Enterprise Compliance is accountable for designing a compliance program that allows ANZ to meet its regulatory obligations. It also provides assurance to the Board that material risks are identified, assessed and managed by the business.

ANZ’s Compliance Framework is aligned to key industry and global standards and benchmarks. It utilises the concept of a 'risk-based' approach to manage compliance. This allows the Compliance function to support divisions and businesses by taking a standardised approach to compliance management tasks. This enables ANZ to be consistent in proactively identifying, assessing, managing, reporting and escalating compliance-related risk exposures while respecting the specific obligations of each jurisdiction in which we operate.

Chapter 10 – Equities

Table 16 Equities – Disclosures for banking book positions

Definition and categorisation of equity investments held in the banking book Equity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the unexpected reduction in value of equity investments not held in the trading book including those of the Group’s associates.

  • Equity investments that are taken for strategic reasons - These transactions represent strategic business initiatives and include ANZ’s investments in partnership arrangements with financial institutions in Asia. These investments are undertaken after extensive analysis and due diligence by Group Strategy, internal specialists and external advisors, where appropriate. Board approval is required prior to committing to any investments over delegated authorities, and all regulatory notification requirements are met. Performance of these investments is monitored by both the owning business unit and Group Strategy to ensure that it is within expectations and the values of the investments are tested at least six monthly for impairment.

  • Equity investments on which capital gains are expected - These transactions are originated and managed by dedicated equity finance teams. These transactions represent funding solutions for known customers of ANZ and are governed by specific policies. ANZ ensures that the investment in these entities does not constitute a controlling interest in the relevant business.

  • Equity investments made as the result of a work out of a problem exposure - From time to time, ANZ will take an equity stake in a customer as part of a work out arrangement for problem exposures. These investments are made only where there is no other viable option available and form an immaterial part of ANZ’s equity exposures.

Valuation of and accounting for equity investments in the banking book

In line with Group Accounting Policy the accounting treatment of equity investments depends on whether ANZ has significant influence over the investee.

Investments in associates

Where significant influence exists, the investment is classified as an Investment in Associate in the financial statements. ANZ adopts the equity method of accounting for associates. ANZ’s share of the results of associates is included in the consolidated income statement. The associate investments are recognised at cost plus ANZ’s share of post acquisition net assets. Interests in associates are reviewed annually for impairment, using either market value, or a discounted cash flow methodology to assess value in-use.

Available-for-Sale Investments

Where ANZ does not have significant influence over the investee, the investment is classified as Available-for-Sale (AFS). The investment is initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Changes in the fair value of the investments are recognised in an equity reserve with any impairment recognised in the income statement. When the asset is sold the cumulative gain or loss relating to the asset held in the AFS revaluation reserve is transferred to the income statement.

Chapter 11 – Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book

Table 17 Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book

Definition of interest rate risk in the banking book

Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZ’s future net interest income. The risk generally arises from:

  • Repricing and yield curve risk - the risk to earnings or market value as a result of changes in the overall level of interest rates and/or the relativity of these rates across the yield curve.

  • Basis risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from volatility in the interest margin applicable to banking book items.

  • Optionality risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from the existence of stand-alone or embedded options in banking book items.

Regulatory capital approach

ANZ has received approval from APRA to use the IMA for the calculation of regulatory capital for IRRBB, under APS 117 Capital Adequacy: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (Advanced ADIs).

Governance

The Board Risk Committee has established a risk appetite for IRRBB and delegated authority to the GALCO to manage the strategic position (capital investment term) and oversee the interest rate risk arising from the repricing of asset and liabilities (mismatch risk) in the banking book. GALCO has delegated the management of this mismatch risk to the Global Markets business.

Market Risk is the independent function responsible for:

  • Designing and implementing policies and procedures to ensure that IRRBB exposure is managed within the limit framework set by the Board Risk Committee.

  • Monitoring and measuring IRRBB market risk exposure, compliance with limits and policies.

  • Ensuring ongoing effectiveness and appropriateness of the risk management framework.

Management framework

IRRBB is managed under a comprehensive measurement and reporting framework, supported by an independent Market Risk function. Key components of the framework include:

  • A comprehensive set of policies that promote proactive risk identification and communication.

  • Funds Transfer Pricing framework to transfer interest rate risk from business units so it can be managed by the Global Markets business and monitored by Market Risk.

  • Quantifying the magnitude of risks and controlling the potential impact that changes in market interest rates can have on the net interest income and balance sheet fair value of ANZ.

  • An independent Market Risk function with specific responsibilities.

  • Regular and effective reporting of IRRBB to executive management and the Board.

Measurement of interest rate risk in the banking book

ANZ uses the following principal techniques to quantify and monitor IRRBB:

  • Interest Rate Sensitivity - this is an estimate of the change in economic value of the banking book due to a 1 basis point move in a specific part of the yield curve.

  • Earnings at risk (EaR) - this is an estimate of the amount of income that is at risk from interest rate movements over a given holding period, expressed to a 97.5% or 99% level of statistical confidence.

  • Value at risk (VaR) - this is an estimate of the impact of interest rate changes on the banking book’s market value, expressed to a 99% level of statistical confidence for a given holding period.

  • Market Value loss limits - this mitigates the potential for embedded losses within the banking book.

  • Stress testing - standard and extraordinary tests are used to highlight potential risk which may not be captured by VaR, and how the portfolio might behave under extraordinary circumstances.

88

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

The calculations used to quantify IRRBB require assumptions to be made about the repricing term of exposures that do not have a contractually defined repricing date, such as deposits with no set maturity dates, and prepayments. Changes to these assumptions require GALCO approval.

Where relevant, IRRBB techniques recognise foreign currency effects as all measures are expressed in Australian dollars.

Basis and optionality risks are measured using Monte Carlo simulation techniques, to generate a theoretical worst outcome at a specified confidence level (typically 99%) less the average outcome.

Reporting of interest rate risk in the banking book

Market Risk analyses the output of ANZ’s VaR, EaR and Stress Testing calculations daily. Compliance with the risk appetite and limit framework is reported to CMRC, GALCO and the Board Risk Committee.

IRRBB regulatory capital is calculated monthly.

ANZ’s interest rate risk in the banking book capital requirement

The IRRBB regulatory capital requirements includes a value for repricing and yield curve risk, basis and optionality risks based on a 99% confidence interval, one year holding period and a six year historical data set.

Embedded losses also make up the capital requirement and are calculated as the difference between the book value of banking book items and the current economic value.

Results of standard shock scenario

The Basel II framework sets out a standard shock scenario of a 200 basis point parallel shift change in interest rates, in order to establish a comparable test across banks. Table 17(b) that follows shows the results of this test by currency of the exposures outside the trading book.

IRRBB stress testing methodology

Stress tests within ANZ include standard and extraordinary tests. These tests are used to highlight potential risk which may not be captured by VaR, and how the portfolio might behave under extraordinary circumstances. Standard stress tests include statistically derived scenarios based on historical yield curve movements. These combine parallel shocks with twists and bends in the curve to produce a wide range of hypothetical scenarios at high statistical confidence levels, with the single worst scenario identified and reported. Extraordinary stress tests include interest rate moves from historical periods of stress as well as stresses to assumptions made about the repricing term of exposures. The rate move scenarios include daily changes over the stressed periods and the worst theoretical losses over the selected periods are each reported. Stresses of the repricing term assumptions investigate scenarios where actual repricing terms are vastly different to those modelled.

Chapter 12 – Liquidity and funding risk

Liquidity and Funding Risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets.

Governance

The management of ANZ’s liquidity and funding risk is overseen by the Board Risk Committee and GALCO, in accordance with ANZ’s liquidity policy framework.

Scenario modelling

The Global financial crisis highlighted the importance of differentiating between stressed and normal market conditions in a name-specific crisis and the different behaviour that offshore and domestic wholesale funding markets can exhibit during market stress events. ANZ’s short term liquidity scenario modelling stresses cash flow projections against multiple ‘survival horizons’ over which the Group is required to remain cash flow positive. In addition, longer term scenarios are in place that measures the structural liquidity position of the balance sheet. Scenarios modelled are either prudential requirements or Board mandated scenarios. Under these scenarios, customer and wholesale balance sheet asset/liability flows are stressed.

Wholesale Funding

ANZ targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency.

$23.9billion of term wholesale debt (with a remaining term greater than one year as at September 30, 2014) was issued during FY14. In addition, $1.6 billion of ANZ Capital Notes were issued.

  • All wholesale funding needs were comfortably met.

  • The weighted average tenor of new term debt was 4.9 years (4.3 years in 2013).

  • The average term debt portfolio costs are slowly reducing however remain substantially above pre-crisis levels.

91

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Liquidity portfolio

The Group holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high credit quality securities that may be sold or pledged to provide same-day liquidity. This portfolio helps protect the Group’s liquidity position by providing cash in a severely stressed environment. All assets held in the prime portfolio are securities eligible for repurchase under agreements with the applicable central bank (i.e. ‘repo eligible’).

The liquidity portfolio is well diversified by counterparty, currency and tenor. Under the liquidity policy framework, securities purchased for ANZ’s liquidity portfolio must be of a similar or better credit quality to ANZ’s external long-term or short-term credit ratings and continue to be repo eligible. Supplementing the prime liquid asset portfolio, the Group holds additional liquidity;

  • central bank deposits with the US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and European Central Bank of $21.8 billion,

  • Australian Commonwealth and State Government securities of $8.4 billion and gold and precious metals of $3.0 billion, and,

  • cash and other securities to satisfy local country regulatory liquidity requirements which are not included in the liquid assets below.

Glossary

Collective provision (CP) Collective provision is the provision for credit losses that are inherent in the portfolio but not able to be individually identified. A collective provision may only be recognised when a loss event has already occurred. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. Credit Default Swaps (CDS) A sequence of payments by one party (often called the “Buyer”) in exchange for an obligation of the other party (often called the “Seller”) to make a payment to the buyer if a credit default event occurs in relation to a specified reference entity (and possibly a specified obligation of that reference entity). Credit exposure The aggregate of all claims, commitments and contingent liabilities arising from on- and off-balance sheet transactions (in the banking book and trading book) with the counterparty or group of related counterparties. Credit risk The risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully the terms of a loan or contract. Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) Over the life of a derivative instrument, ANZ uses a CVA model to adjust fair value to take into account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology calculates the present value of expected losses over the life of the financial instrument as a function of probability of default, loss given default, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor. Impaired derivatives are also subject to a CVA. Days past due The number of days a credit obligation is overdue, commencing on the date that the arrears or excess occurs and accruing for each completed calendar day thereafter. Equity risk Is the potential loss that may be incurred on equity investments in the banking book. Expected loss (EL) Expected loss is determined based on the expected average annual loss of principal over the economic cycle for the current risk profile of the lending portfolio. Exposure at Default (EAD) Exposure At Default is defined as the expected facility exposure at the date of default. Impaired assets (IA) Facilities are classified as impaired when there is doubt as to whether the contractual amounts due, including interest and other payments, will be met in a timely manner. Impaired assets include impaired facilities, and impaired derivatives. Impaired derivatives have a credit valuation adjustment (CVA), which is a market assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties. Impaired loans (IL) Impaired loans comprise of drawn facilities where the customer’s status is defined as impaired. Individual provision charge (IPC) Individual provision charge is the amount of expected credit losses on financial instruments assessed for impairment on an individual basis (as opposed to on a collective basis). It takes into account expected cash flow over the lives of those financial instruments.

ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure September 2014

Loss Given Default (LGD) Loss Given Default is an estimate of the potential economic loss
on a credit exposure, incurred as a consequence of obligor
default and expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD.
Market risk The risk to ANZ’s earnings arising from changes in interest
rates, currency exchange rates and credit spreads, or from
fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices. ANZ has
grouped market risk into two broad categories to facilitate the
measurement, reporting and control of market risk:
Traded market risk - the risk of loss from changes in the value
of financial instruments due to movements in price factors for
physical and derivative trading positions. Trading positions arise
from transactions where ANZ acts as principal with clients or
with the market.
Non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk) - comprises
interest rate risk in the banking book and the risk to the AUD
denominated value of ANZ’s capital and earnings due to foreign
exchange rate movements.
Operational risk The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems or from external events. This
definition includes legal risk, and the risk of reputation loss, or
damage arising from inadequate or failed internal processes,
people and systems, but excludes strategic risk.
Past due facilities Facilities where a contractual payment has not been met or the
customer is outside of contractual arrangements are deemed
past due. Past due facilities include those operating in excess of
approved arrangements or where scheduled repayments are
outstanding but do not include impaired assets.
Probability of Default (PD) Probability of Default is an estimate of the level of the risk of
borrower default.
Recoveries Payments received and taken to profit for the current period for
the amounts written off in prior financial periods.
Regulatory Expected Loss Regulatory Expected Loss is a measure of expected credit
losses at the start of the year.
Restructured items Restructured items comprise facilities in which the original
contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the
financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist
of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due,
or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically
offered to new facilities with similar risk.
Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) Assets which are weighted for credit risk according to a set
formula (APS 112/113).
Securitisation risk The risk of credit related losses greater than expected due to a
securitisation failing to operate as anticipated, or of the values
and risks accepted or transferred, not emerging as expected.
Slotting Exposures where repayment is dependent on funds generated
by the asset financed and with little/no recourse to any
alternative source.
Write-Offs Facilities are written off against the related provision for
impairment when they are assessed as partially or fully
uncollectable, and after proceeds from the realisation of any
collateral have been received. Where individual provisions
recognised in previous periods have subsequently decreased or
are no longer required, such impairment losses are reversed in
the current period income statement.
