APRA: final revised Prudential Standard APS 111 released
5 August 2021
APRA has released the final revised Prudential Standard APS 111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS 111). APS 111 sets out detailed criteria for measuring an ADI’s regulatory capital. The revised APS 111 will come into effect on 1 January 2022.
The key revisions in this update of the Prudential Standard are designed to:
- reinforce financial system resilience, through changes to the capital treatment of an ADI’s equity investments in their banking and insurance subsidiaries;
- promote simple and transparent capital issuance, through the removal of the allowance for the use of special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in regulatory capital issuance; and
- clarify aspects of APS 111, including provision of additional technical information to assist ADIs in issuing capital instruments.
