CHAIR
MESSAGE
The AMP board is
committed to meeting
the highest standards
of governance and
stewardship as the
company works through
its transformation.
I am pleased to present the AMP Limited Annual report for 2021.
It was a year of change and transformation for our business as
we welcomed Alexis George as our new CEO and made strong
progress on separating AMP Capital’s private markets business
(renamed Collimate Capital) from AMP Limited.
The impacts of COVID-19, including lockdowns, were a mainstay
of the year, but we continued to focus on supporting our
customers through that difficult and unsettling period.
I am proud of our people and their ability to meet those
challenges while also delivering major change programs and
a solid underlying profit result. This work sets up AMP for
a strong and sustainable future by further addressing legacy
matters and simplifying the business. We are committed
to continue this work to restore value and pride for AMP’s
shareholders, clients, people and the broader community.
Strategy and portfolio simplification
In November 2021 we outlined our strategy for both businesses,
AMP Limited and Collimate Capital, with a focus on simplification
and growth opportunities. We have strong and accomplished
leaders to take both businesses forward with the commencement
of Alexis as CEO of AMP Limited in August 2021, and Shawn
Johnson who commenced as CEO of AMP Capital in June 2021,
and will take forward the Collimate Capital business as it
demerges. Significant steps to simplify the business during 2021
established a clear perimeter for the demerger of Collimate
Capital. The divestment of the remaining stake in Resolution Life
Australasia marks AMP’s final exit from its former life insurance
and mature business, AMP Life. While this brings to a close AMP’s
long and proud involvement in life insurance in Australia, we
continue to support financial advisers and customers by providing
access to other life insurance products.
In addition, we announced the sale of both the Global Equities
and Fixed Income (GEFI) business and the Infrastructure Debt
platform, as well as the transfer of the Multi-Asset Group
business from AMP Capital to Australian Wealth Management.
Demerger progress
The announcement of the intention to demerge Collimate Capital
from AMP Limited in April 2021 followed a comprehensive review
of AMP’s business portfolio. The rationale was driven by the
fact that AMP is made up of two distinctly different businesses:
a domestic retail wealth manager and a global private markets

business from AMP Capital to Australian Wealth Management.
Demerger progress
The announcement of the intention to demerge Collimate Capital
from AMP Limited in April 2021 followed a comprehensive review
of AMP’s business portfolio. The rationale was driven by the
fact that AMP is made up of two distinctly different businesses:
a domestic retail wealth manager and a global private markets
(infrastructure and real estate) business with institutional
clients. The demerger will accelerate growth strategies,
enhance customer focus, and deliver further value
to shareholders through improvements in efficiency.
Separating the two businesses is complex and extensive and
involves a number of steps, including shareholder approval
and legal processes (including court hearings to approve the
scheme of arrangement), after which Collimate Capital will
trade as a separate ASX-listed company. AMP shareholders
will be sent full details of the demerger, including details
regarding voting and upcoming shareholder meetings.
Share consolidation
AMP will propose a share consolidation at the 2022
Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on 20 May 2022.
If approved, the consolidation will reduce the number
of shares AMP has on issue by converting every eight AMP
shares held into one AMP share.
The consolidation is a simple mechanism through which
AMP’s trading share price can be brought to a level which
is comparable with peer companies. This process alone will
not reduce the value of the shares held by each shareholder,
or the company overall, and we can expect our share price
to adjust to reflect the reduced number of shares on issue.
Further information will be contained in the 2022 AGM
notice which will be sent to all shareholders from mid-April.
Board governance
The AMP board is committed to meeting the highest standards
of governance and stewardship as the company works
through its transformation. The board and its committees met
regularly throughout 2021, and I thank all directors and the
management team for their strong commitment. Moreover,
the board has been actively engaged in oversight of AMP’s
work to strengthen the corporate culture.
In 2021 AMP management, together with the employee
inclusion taskforce, implemented more than 95% of the
actions that were set for 2021 from the board-initiated
external Workplace Conduct Review in addition to their
continued work to create a more inclusive corporate
culture. AMP has also reached its 40-40-20 gender targets
at the board and middle management level and across the
workforce generally.
In July 2021, we welcomed Mike Hirst to the board. Mike
brings extensive experience in retail banking, treasury,
funds management and financial markets.
As previously announced, Non-executive director John
O’Sullivan has confirmed that he will not stand for
reelection to the board at the 2022 AGM. John has been
a valuable member of the board since June 2018 and has
taken the decision not to stand for reelection in order
to dedicate time to other external pursuits. I would like
to take this opportunity, on behalf of the board, to thank
John for his service and contribution to AMP.
Sustainability
At AMP we are committed to creating a sustainable and
equitable future for our stakeholders and the community,
and to openly reporting on our progress and impact.
We recognise that economic, social and environmental
issues can have a material impact on business performance
and society. AMP’s non-financial disclosures have evolved
significantly, and our 2021 Sustainability report reflects
the positive steps taken by AMP towards transparency
and best practice.
In the community, we recognise and support the growing
momentum for global action on climate change and
supporting vulnerable communities.
In 2021, we launched our Climate Position and Action Plan
which details how we manage our business and investment
activities in alignment with net zero emissions by 2050.
This builds on AMP’s long-standing commitment to action
on climate, having been carbon neutral across our global
operations since 2013.
I am also proud of the enduring support the AMP Foundation,
AMP’s philanthropic arm, provides to communities across
Australia. Since its inception in 1992 the AMP Foundation has
contributed more than $110 million to Australian communities
through direct donations, employee dollar matching, employee
fundraising and volunteering, with more than $3.2 million
provided in grants and donations in 2021 alone.
2021 financial performance
and capital position
In 2021, AMP delivered an improved financial performance
with a 53 per cent increase in underlying net profit of
$356 million. The performance was assisted by stronger
earnings in AMP Bank, New Zealand Wealth Management
and AMP Capital as well as strong investment income
from Group Office, including the contribution from our
strategic partnership with China Life Pension Company.
As we continued our transformation program in 2021,
we recognised certain impairments, mainly non-cash
write downs, to position AMP for the future. This resulted
in a reported statutory loss of $252 million, however
it should not be seen as a reflection of the underlying
business performance.
The board also continues to take a conservative approach
to capital management to support the delivery of the
demerger and AMP’s transformation and has resolved
not to pay a dividend for 2021. While we understand that
this is disappointing for shareholders, we believe that it is
the right approach when AMP is making such significant
change. We are committed to reviewing dividend payments
following the completion of the demerger later this year.
Looking forward
We have an exciting year ahead, with significant change
and opportunities. On behalf of the board, I sincerely thank
you for your support as we progressively transform AMP,
a purpose-led company building on its heritage to meet
the needs of today and the future.

CEO
MESSAGE
We are making
progress to rebuild
pride in AMP for
its shareholders,
employees, customers
and the community.
Since joining AMP in August 2021, I’ve taken time to listen to
shareholders, customers and employees of our iconic company.
I’ve looked at where we sit in the market, the challenges and
opportunities ahead and worked with the executive team
to develop a strategy that sets us on a path to a new AMP.
In November 2021, I outlined this strategy and the changes we’re
making to build a simpler, customer-focused and purpose-led AMP.
Purpose will be a bedrock for our strategy, guiding our decisions
and providing clarity for our employees on what we stand for.
We have engaged both our employees and customers in our work
to develop a new purpose, as we believe it will be key to restoring
trust in AMP.
We are also focused on simplifying our business and have made
progress on our planned separation and demerger of AMP
Capital’s Private Markets business – which we have recently
rebranded as Collimate Capital.
Demerger
The rationale for our demerger is simple – we have two very
different businesses that are operating in different markets,
with different customers and a different geographic focus.
In AMP Limited, we have a retail wealth management and
banking business operating in Australia and New Zealand
with about 1.5 million customers.
In Collimate Capital, we have a global manager of infrastructure
and real estate investments with a growing focus on
institutional clients.
The demerger, which is planned for the first half of 2022, will
enable Collimate Capital and AMP Limited to focus on their
respective markets and growth opportunities, as well as to
simplify and improve efficiencies to deliver value to shareholders.
We have made strong progress on the operational separation
of the two businesses in preparation for the demerger. A clear
perimeter has been set with the agreed sale of the Global
Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business, transfer of the
Multi-Asset Group (MAG) to Australian Wealth Management and
the divestment of the Infrastructure Debt (ID) platform which
completed in February 2022. The GEFI and ID sales, along with the

The rationale for our demerger is simple – we have two very

with different customers and a different geographic focus.
In AMP Limited, we have a retail wealth management and
banking business operating in Australia and New Zealand
with about 1.5 million customers.
In Collimate Capital, we have a global manager of infrastructure
and real estate investments with a growing focus on
institutional clients.
The demerger, which is planned for the first half of 2022, will
enable Collimate Capital and AMP Limited to focus on their

Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business, transfer of the
Multi-Asset Group (MAG) to Australian Wealth Management and
the divestment of the Infrastructure Debt (ID) platform which
completed in February 2022. The GEFI and ID sales, along with the
divestment of our residual stake in Resolution Life Australasia
have strengthened our balance sheet, enabling both
businesses to have a solid platform to grow post demerger.
The demerger will be voted on by shareholders in the
coming months, and after further legal steps, Collimate
Capital will begin trading as a separately-listed company
on the ASX.
2021 financial performance
On 10 February we released our 2021 full-year financial
results, which showed a strong increase in our underlying
profit, as well as momentum we have built in simplifying
and reshaping our business.
We reported a statutory loss of $252 million which reflects
actions we took to write down the value of some assets
on our balance sheet, in addition to remediation and
transformation costs. While it has impacted our statutory
results for 2021, our actions help ensure AMP is set up
well for the future.
Our 2021 underlying net profit after tax of $356 million
increased 53 per cent on 2020. The increase was driven by AMP
Bank, AMP Capital and New Zealand Wealth Management
earnings as well as strong investment income from our joint
venture with China Life. The improved result is a testament
to the ongoing efforts and hard work of our teams.
We have also remained focused on costs – simplifying our
operating model and finding efficiencies to deliver on our
2019–2022 cost-out target of $300 million, with $260 million
delivered by the end of 2021.
As we communicated in February, we will not be paying
a full year dividend in 2021. We have committed to review
our approach to capital management including the payment
of dividends after our demerger is complete but as we focus
on delivering the demerger, continuing the transformation
of both businesses, and investing for growth, we must
be conservative with capital.
In AMP Bank we saw strong growth in our residential
mortgage book in an increasingly competitive market.
As we continue our work to grow the Bank, we’re also
maintaining our focus on good credit quality, with 30+ day
and 90+ day arrears decreasing in 2021.
In Australian Wealth Management, the business
transformation is well-progressed and we’re seeing
‘green shoots’ within each of the sub-businesses with our
Platforms business growing assets, including from external
financial advisers, our Master Trust business reducing
costs and the reshape of advice accelerating.
With New Zealand Wealth Management (NZWM)
we continued to improve our efficiency and value
to clients. During the year NZWM completed its transition
to a new index-based investment philosophy with a focus
on sustainable investing.
In AMP Capital, we had a significant year of change but
posted an 18 per cent increase in operating earnings
to $154 million, driven by strong performance fees from
the successful sale of assets held within our infrastructure
equity funds. Our Real Estate business saw the loss
of the AMP Capital Diversified Property Fund (ADPF) but
maintained focus on delivering key developments including
the expansion of Karrinyup and Marrickville Metro shopping
centres, delivering close to $1 billion in further value for our
real estate clients.
After a comprehensive process undertaken in 2021,
the Trustee of the AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund
(AWOF) decided it was in the best interests of AWOF
investors that AMP Capital continue as manager of the fund.
Our real estate investment professionals continue to focus
on maintaining the strong performance of AWOF and
driving further value for clients.
2022 outlook
2021 was a year of significant change, and we’re
continuing that momentum into 2022 as we set AMP
up for a strong future.
As we work towards the demerger and listing of Collimate
Capital on the ASX, our teams are focused on achieving
the targets we’ve set as part of our new strategic
direction. These include opportunities that support the
momentum we’re seeing in our Bank and Platforms
business, maintaining a disciplined approach to costs, and
accelerating our simplification. In Collimate Capital, focus
is on completing the sale of GEFI ahead of demerger and
scaling its existing capabilities in infrastructure equity and
real estate investments for clients around the world.
The pandemic was a catalyst for all businesses to increase
focus on digital interactions to best support customers
and provide the services they need. Digital and data
innovation has always been important for businesses,
but it is now ‘table stakes’ to compete in the financial
services market. We will continue to build and invest
in digital capabilities including the use of data to enhance
the services and support we provide.
Reflecting on 2021, I want to thank all of you for your
continued support and investment in our company.
I joined AMP because I am passionate about our industry
and the important role we have in supporting Australians
and New Zealanders. We’ve made strong progress on
AMP’s transformation and we’re continuing to change the
business. We have the right strategy in place to rebuild

OUR
STRATEGY
AMP provided an update on its strategic growth plans for 2022–2024
on 30 November 2021. The strategy sets a clear path to a new AMP
by repositioning core capabilities in wealth management and banking,
simplifying the organisation and exploring opportunities for growth.
REPOSITION
Invest to grow AMP Bank
Grow the North platform building new relationships
with external financial advisers
Deliver stable earnings and optimal client outcomes
in Master Trust and New Zealand Wealth Management
Accelerate the transformation of Advice
AMP Bank’s growth will be driven through continued investment to deliver great service to customers, and mortgage
and deposit products which suit their needs. Recent investments in the bank’s core technology increased its ability to
originate mortgages, and continued investment in digital and data capability will speed up ‘time to yes’ for customers.
AMP’s flagship North platform has a strong growth opportunity, which we will target through ongoing enhancements
to products and functionality that meet the needs of aligned and external financial advisers and their customers.
A simplified Master Trust business will be better positioned to drive optimal customer outcomes, including member
fee reductions and improved investment performance in superannuation.
Our strategy in New Zealand is based on improving efficiency and delivering value to clients, with a strong focus
on sustainability investments and continuing to strengthen our distribution business.
The Advice business completed a significant transformation in 2021 including the exit of the employed advice channel and
conclusion of client register buy-back arrangements (known as BOLR facility). The acceleration of the business’ transformation
to a professional services provider will see significant simplification of the Advice model, delivering valued licensee services
at a competitive and sustainable price, and driving efficiency in our business operations.
Execute the demerger
Strong progress has been achieved on separation of the Collimate Capital business, setting it up for demerger.
SIMPLIFY
Redefine and right-size the operating model for agility and efficiency
AMP’s ongoing transformation will enable further reviews of the operating model of both businesses.
Continue to review portfolio of assets to ensure AMP is the right owner
We will continue to regularly review the assets held in AMP’s portfolio to ensure we optimise our business for the future.
Enhance shareholder value through disciplined capital management
AMP continues to progress commitments made on its cost base and capital management. We are on track to deliver
$300 million of annual run-rate cost savings by the end of 2022, with an additional $115 million of net cost-out
to be delivered by the end of 2024.
Establish direct-to-consumer solutions in selected areas
Direct-to-consumer opportunities will be a focus in AMP Bank as we enhance our digital capabilities.
EXPLORE
Develop leading position in retirement
Opportunities in the retirement sector are being driven by a large and growing market with limited products to serve
customer needs. AMP brings strong capabilities in annuities and is developing a new retirement offer to launch in 2022.
Explore adjacent new business models (organic and inorganic)
A simplified portfolio will enable AMP to consider new business models in the future.

Full year 2021 highlights
In 2021, AMP Bank helped more than 160,000 customers with their banking needs
and provided over 10,700 new home loans to help more Australians own their own
home. The bank’s residential mortgage book grew at a faster pace than the industry
average (1.36x system) for the year. Total deposits increased $1.7 billion from 2020,
in line with the bank’s strategy to optimise its funding mix. Net interest margin (NIM)
of 1.62% in 2021 was higher than 2020, driven by lower funding and deposit costs
in the first half of the year. NIM compressed in the second half due to above system
growth in a highly competitive market and an increasing shift to fixed rate loans.
A continued focus on maintaining mortgage book quality has resulted in a reduction
in interest only lending (representing 14% of the total book in 2021) and improvement
in both 30+ and 90+ day arrears.
Operational highlights
In 2021 AMP Bank continued to focus on growth by modernising its core systems and
enhancing its service and price propositions. The benefit of investments in technology
to streamline the origination process have resulted in improved experience for both
customers and brokers. The Auto Credit Decisioning (ACD) rate improved by 75%, with
more than 60% of applications processed through ACD during the year, resulting in
faster and more consistent approvals. Paper applications for products have ceased with
straight-through processing functionality adopted and smart forms for complex entities
streamlining the application process. Strong progress has also been made on the digital
origination and establishment of deposit products, with more than 70% of retail deposit
accounts opened digitally. The Bank also ceased issuing cheques and deposit books in 2021.
OUR PEOPLE:
Working flexibly
Enabling inclusion and diversity comes in many forms
– recognising differences in the way we work is one of them.
AMP’s approach to flexible work gives leaders and employees
the autonomy to agree how, when and where work is done,
ensuring a better balance of their work and life goals. It also
ensures employees can bring their best selves to work every
day to deliver for our customers and shareholders.
Lauren Allen is part of the team that led the implementation
of AMP’s new flexible work policy, known as We-Flex, in 2021.
“Being home with my child for bath time is important to me.
I ensure my team knows my schedule, as well as me knowing
theirs, so we can deliver our work priorities without sacrificing
personal commitments. Having flexibility means I have the
option to work where, when, and how I like – giving me
autonomy and empowerment to deliver.“
“The trust built with your leader
and the conversations about your
life outside of work are helpful to
integrate commitments in a practical
way and get the best out of you
for your role. I’m so proud of the
We‑Flex program we’ve created.”

INCREASE
IN INFLOWS
FROM EXTERNAL
FINANCIAL ADVISERS
TO NORTH PLATFORM
Full year 2021 highlights
Australian Wealth Management (AWM) comprises three business lines providing
advice, superannuation (Master Trust), and investment management platforms to
customers. NPAT in 2021 was largely affected by impairments to the carrying value
of Advice assets in 2021, lower revenue predominantly from repricing in Master Trust
and Platforms, and the impact of the cessation of grandfathered remuneration. AUM
increased 8% to $134 billion in 2021 driven by strong investment market returns. Net
cash outflows decreased from 2020 to $5.2 billion in 2021. This was largely attributable
to one-off impacts experienced in 2020, which included early release of super payments
to support customers during the pandemic. 2021 net cash outflows included $1.9 billion
of regular pension payments.
Operational highlights
Notable improvements were made during the year across AWM. For customers on the
North platform this involved the launch of 28 managed portfolios including 23 new equity
managed portfolios from 10 leading investment managers. This has supported strong
AUM growth in managed portfolios, more than doubling in the last 12 months.
The Master Trust business is on a transformational pathway to simplify super and improve
efficiency and member outcomes. Strong investment performance for members in the
12 months to June 2021 saw AMP’s MySuper Lifecycle funds returning an average
performance of 20%. In Advice, new commercial terms announced in July 2021 included
an uplifted service model, the release of institutional ownership and the conclusion
of buy-back (BOLR) arrangements which came into effect from 1 January 2022. The sale
of the employed advice business was also completed in December 2021.
OUR CUSTOMERS:
North Platform enhancements
In 2021 AMP significantly enhanced its platform and managed
portfolio offerings through its flagship platform, North. The
substantial increase in the range of managed portfolios available
to customers and financial advisers included the launch of
equity managed portfolios in November. This has supported
strong growth in managed portfolios with AUM having more
than doubled to $4.3 billion in 2021. AMP will continue to
broaden North’s overall investment menu to provide customers
and financial advisers with more investment choices.
As part of AMP’s commitment to delivering market leading
offers for its customers and their advisers, AMP reduced
administration fees by up to 22% on MyNorth, North and
Summit platforms, benefitting more than 210,000 customers
across these platforms. AMP also reduced minimum brokerage
fees for customers buying shares through the North platform.

NZWM provides customers with a variety of wealth management solutions
including KiwiSaver, corporate superannuation, retail investments, an investment
management platform and general insurance. In 2021, AUM-based revenue
in the business increased by $1 million (1%) on 2020 primarily due to the rebound
in investment markets following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first
half of 2020. The business continues to simplify and transform its operating model
and saw a reduction in controllable costs to $36 million, down 5% on 2020. This
was due to lower employment and IT costs and lower property costs following
a reduction in office footprint.
Operational highlights
In 2021 NZWM completed its transition to a new index-based investment philosophy
with a focus on sustainable investing. This new approach has enabled NZWM
to reduce the carbon footprint of its funds while also reducing fees for clients.
Despite the loss of the KiwiSaver default status, AMP remains a substantial
participant in the overall KiwiSaver market with $5.8 billion in AUM, reflecting
growth of 14% on 2020 in the non-default KiwiSaver product.
OUR COMMUNITY:
Employees supporting their community
For 12 years the AMP Foundation has supported volunteer-led
charities through its Unsung Heroes program, which recognises
the contributions of AMP employees who donate their time and
expertise to the community. To date, the program has provided
close to $1.6 million to 200 non-profit organisations.
In 2021, the program celebrated 31 AMP Unsung Heroes for their
work over the past year. Each of the organisations they volunteer
for received a share of more than $93,000 provided by the
AMP Foundation.
AMP employee and 2021 Unsung Hero, Hemant Raval
volunteered more than 300 hours of his time to the NSW State
Emergency Service (SES) – the primary state agency for flood,
storm and tsunami events.
“I volunteer because I have a

AMP Capital’s 2021 NPAT was $154 million, up 18% from $131 million in 2020.
AUM-based earnings reduced 3% to $545 million, reflecting net cash outflows and fee
reductions including short-term fee concessions in Core Infrastructure and Real Estate,
partly offset by favourable market performance. Performance and transaction fees
of $74 million increased 45% on 2020, primarily due to the recognition of $58 million
of performance fees following favourable asset sales in closed-end infrastructure funds.
2021 seed and sponsor gains of $18 million were up on 2020 due to partial recovery
in COVID-19 devaluations of certain assets, including international airports.
Operational highlights
AMP Capital made significant progress on its separation from AMP Limited in 2021.
This included the sale of GEFI and the Infrastructure Debt platform and the transfer
of MAG funds to AWM. In 2021 AMP Capital also secured a record $2.2 billion
investment in AMP Capital Retail Trust from large institutional partners. The Real
Estate business saw the loss of the AMP Capital Diversified Property Fund (ADPF)
but maintained focus on delivering key developments, delivering close to $1 billion
in further value for real estate clients. The divestment of major stakes in ESVAGT
and Angel Trains also delivered strong returns for infrastructure equity clients.

SUSTAINABILITY
People and partners
Community trust in financial
institutions is essential in maintaining
the confidence of our stakeholders
in the stability and equity of the
financial system. Conduct and
governance issues in recent years have
meant AMP, and the financial services
sector more broadly, receives a high
level of scrutiny on these matters
from customers, employees, investors
and regulators.
AMP is committed to building trust
by taking action across multiple
areas to improve our culture,
strengthen governance systems
and ensure executive management
and employees understand their
accountabilities and act in an ethical
and responsible manner. AMP’s
Code of Conduct is our commitment
to acting ethically and responsibly.
It outlines the minimum standards
of behaviour, decision making
processes and our expectations
for the treatment of employees,
customers, business partners
and shareholders.
Acknowledging the need to uplift our focus on culture, conduct and customer
remediation, AMP has continued to strengthen governance systems by:
ENHANCING
processes and disclosure of conduct-related issues through
internal and external avenues including ensuring appropriate
consequences are applied for substantiated misconduct
STRENGTHENING
the Risk Culture and Capability program, ensuring
employees are equipped to support effective risk
management through training and awareness

Community and environment
AMP is committed to responsible
investment, taking a long-term view
of how our investments will balance
improved financial outcomes for our
customers, and foster a sustainable
and equitable future for everyone
in our community. Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) factors
are important considerations in our
investment decisions.
AMP also recognises it must
contribute to the global move to
net zero by 2050. As a diversified
financial services company, climate
change impacts and our ability
to drive action to address climate
change differs across our portfolio
of businesses. AMP has a strong
tradition of community investment
and for the past 30 years, this
support has been delivered by the
AMP Foundation, one of Australia’s
largest corporate foundations.
AMP continues to drive action on climate action in 2021 by:

New Zealand Wealth Management encompasses the wealth management, financial advice and distribution business in New Zealand.
It provides clients with a variety of wealth management solutions including KiwiSaver, corporate superannuation, retail investments,

AMP Capital is a diversified investment manager across major asset classes including infrastructure debt, infrastructure equity and real
estate which make up its Private Markets business, Global Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI), diversified, multi-manager and multi-asset
funds which make up its Public Markets business. AMP Capital’s aspiration is to build a leading global private markets platform, underpinned
by equity investments in infrastructure and real estate.
On 23 April 2021, following the conclusion of AMP’s portfolio review, AMP announced the intention to demerge AMP Capital’s Private
Markets business, consisting of infrastructure equity, infrastructure debt and real estate. Subsequently, on 24 December 2021, AMP
announced the further simplification of Private Markets with the sale of infrastructure debt, which is expected to complete in Q1 2022.
The demerger of the Private Markets business will create two focused businesses better equipped to pursue and allocate capital to distinct
growth opportunities and realise efficiencies.
As part of the demerger preparations, on 8 July 2021, AMP announced the sale of its Global Equities and Fixed Income business (GEFI),
which is expected to complete by Q1 2022.
The remaining AMP Capital Public Markets business, the Multi-Asset Group (MAG), which is responsible for asset allocation on behalf
of AMP’s superannuation clients, will complete its transition to Australian Wealth Management prior to demerger, creating an end-to-end
superannuation and investment platform business, with the transition of front office functions already complete.
Client remediation
AMP has completed all file reviews for its client remediation program. The total cost of the program will be $828 million, of which
approximately $588 million represents payments to customers. This total program cost is six per cent above original estimates made
three years ago. These costs are now fully provisioned.
To date $37.9 million has been paid to customers under the inappropriate advice program, with a further $1.9 million offered, but not yet
paid. Customers have so far received $489.7 million in fee for no service remediation, and all payments are targeted to complete by end
of Q1 2022.
Demerger update
On 23 April 2021, AMP announced its intention to demerge its Private Markets business by 1H 2022.
AMP continues to make strong progress on the operational separation of AMP Capital’s Private Markets business, in preparation for
demerger in 1H 2022. A clear perimeter has been set with the agreed sale of the GEFI business, the announcement of the sale of the
infrastructure debt business and the transfer of the MAG, and CLAMP to AMP Limited. In addition, the appointment of Shawn Johnson
as CEO, AMP Capital in June 2021 and the appointments of Patrick Snowball and Andrew Fay as Chairman designate and Deputy Chairman
designate further strengthen our readiness for demerger.
The demerger will be subject to final board approval, required regulatory approvals, applicable consents and approval from AMP’s
shareholders and is expected to occur in 1H 2022.
AMP announces new contemporary advice service model
On 26 July 2021, AMP announced the introduction of a new service model with its aligned advice network marking a new era for financial
advice at AMP.
The new model, developed in collaboration with AMP adviser associations, will be progressively introduced with AMP providing services
to advisers which support the delivery of quality advice, improve practice efficiency and help advisers grow their businesses.
Divestment of equity interest in Resolution Life Australasia
On 3 November 2021, AMP announced an agreement to divest its 19.13% equity interest in Resolution Life NOHC Pty Ltd (RLA) for
consideration of $524 million to Resolution Life Group, less the amount of any dividends, distributions or capital returns that are paid
from RLA to AMP. The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete in 1H 2022.
Subsequent to the agreement to divest, AMP received dividends and capital returns from RLA of $15 million.
As part of the divestment agreement, AMP and RLA have also agreed to settle a number of post-completion adjustments and certain
claims between the parties, subject to various limitations and exclusions, which results in a payment of $141 million from AMP to RLA
at completion.
Divestment of Infrastructure Debt platform
On 24 December 2021, AMP announced an agreement to sell its Infrastructure Debt platform to Ares Holdings LP for consideration
of up to $428 million. The sale is subject to a number of conditions precedent and is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2022.
As the Infrastructure Debt platform has been controlled by AMP throughout the reporting period, the results of this business are included
in AMP’s 2021 results.

Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2021
Review of operations and results
The loss attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021 was $252 million (2020: $177 million profit).
Basic (loss)/ earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2021 on a statutory basis was (7.6) cents per share (2020: 5.2 cents per share).
On an underlying basis, the earnings per share was 10.7 cents per share (2020: 8.6 cents per share).
Key performance measures were as follows:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
2021 NPAT (underlying) 1 of $356 million increased 53% from $233 million in 2020. This increase largely reflects the impact of stronger
AMP Bank earnings (+38%), AMP Capital earnings (+18%), New Zealand Wealth Management earnings (+11%) and stronger investment
income from Group Office, including contributions from CLPC and Resolution Life Australasia, partly offset by lower Australian Wealth
Management earnings (-25%).
2021 NPAT (statutory) loss of $252 million was impacted by items reported below NPAT including $312 million of impairment charges,
reflecting a comprehensive review of the balance sheet, $133 million of transformation costs, $78 million of remediation and related
costs and other one-off items.
AMP’s total assets under management (AUM) and administration were $248.2 billion 2 at 31 December 2021 (2020: $255 billion).
Australian Wealth Management net cash outflows were $5.2 billion in 2021 compared to net cash outflows of $7.8 billion in 2020.
Net cash outflows in 2021 also included $1.9 billion of regular pension payments to members. The improvement in net cash outflows
was largely attributable to one-off impacts in 2020, including the $1.8 billion loss of corporate mandates and $1.8 billion of COVID-19
Early Release of Super (ERS) payments.
AMP Capital external net cash outflows were $12.8 billion, with $4.6 billion of net cash outflows across real estate largely attributable
to the exit of the AMP Capital Diversified Property Fund (ADPF) and $6.9 billion net cash outflows across public markets.
AMP Bank’s residential mortgage book increased to $21.7 billion driven by competitive pricing and offers, consistent service and
targeted growth in principal and interest loans across both owner-occupied and investment lending.
AMP’s controllable costs, excluding AMP Capital, of $775 million were 7% lower than 2020 due to cost out benefits partly offset
by structural cost increases, variable remuneration and reinvestment spend.
–
AMP’s cost to income ratio was 71.3% in 2021, down from 75.5% in 2020.
– Underlying return on equity was 8.4% in 2021, up from 6.3% in 2020.
–
2021 total eligible capital resources were $383 million above target requirements, down from $524 million at 31 December 2020.
Operating results by business area
The operating results of each business area 3 for 2021 were as follows:
AMP Bank – 2021 NPAT (underlying) of $153 million increased by $42 million (38%) from 2020 largely due to a $26 million release of credit
loss provisions as a result of the improved macro-economic outlook since the impact of COVID-19 in 2020.
Australian Wealth Management – NPAT (underlying) of $48 million in 2021 declined 25% from 2020 primarily due to impairments to the
carrying value of Advice assets, lower revenue predominantly from the impact of repricing in Master Trust and Platforms, and the cessation
of grandfathered remuneration, partly offset by lower variable and controllable costs from cost reduction initiatives.
New Zealand Wealth Management – 2021 NPAT (underlying) of $39 million increased by $4 million (11%) from 2020 primarily due to the
rebound in investment markets and improved cost performance.
AMP Capital – 2021 NPAT (underlying) of $154 million increased 18% from $131 million in 2020, reflecting higher performance and
transaction fees in 2021 and higher seed and sponsor investment returns due to a partial recovery of COVID-19 devaluations in certain
asset classes and strong performance in some individual assets.
Capital management and dividend
Equity and reserves of the AMP Group attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited was $4.0 billion at 31 December 2021 ($4.3 billion
at 31 December 2020).
AMP’s surplus capital above target requirements at 31 December 2021 is $383 million ($524 million at 31 December 2020).
The board has resolved not to declare a final 2021 dividend. The board continues to maintain a conservative approach to capital management
to support the transformation of the business. The capital management strategy and payment of dividends will be reviewed following the
completion of the demerger in 1H 2022.
1 NPAT (underlying) represents shareholder attributable net profit or loss after tax excluding market adjustments, accounting mismatches and non-recurring
revenue and expenses.
2 Includes SuperConcepts assets under administration.
3 Operating results have been re-presented to align to the FY 2021 Investor Report.
Review of operations and results
Strategy and prospects
The loss attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021 was $252 million (2020: $177 million profit).
Basic (loss)/ earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2021 on a statutory basis was (7.6) cents per share (2020: 5.2 cents per share).
AMP provided an update on its planned demerger and strategic growth plans for the two post-demerger businesses AMP Limited and AMP
Capital’s Private Markets business on 30 November 2021.
On an underlying basis, the earnings per share was 10.7 cents per share (2020: 8.6 cents per share).
In AMP Limited, the strategy sets a clear path to create a new AMP by:
–
–
Renewing AMP’s purpose and values to put the customer at the centre, and continuing to drive cultural transformation;
Repositioning core capabilities to drive growth in banking and wealth platforms;
– Delivering stable earnings in the Master Trust and New Zealand Wealth Management businesses, and accelerating the transformation
of Advice;
–
Simplifying the business to drive efficiency and agility, including delivering on the 2019 to 2022 $300 million cost reduction program
and committing to a further $115 million of cost reduction initiatives from 2022 through to 2024; and
–
Exploring new opportunities, including in retirement and in direct-to-consumer solutions, as well as in new business adjacencies.
In AMP Capital’s Private Markets business, the strategy will focus on leveraging the significant opportunity to become a global leader in the
fast-growing private markets industry through:
– Delivering autonomy through an effective separation and demerger from AMP;
–
Simplifying the business and organisation structure and achieving a run-rate cost base of $275–$280 million by 2023;
– Growing its client base, led by a newly established global client solutions team and scaling its existing infrastructure and real estate
investment strategies; and
– Diversifying its product offering to clients, including potential new investment strategies structured to meet client specific interests globally.
Invest to grow AMP Bank
The Bank continues to focus on growth by optimising its customer value proposition and being service experience led for both customers
and brokers. It remains on track to achieve double-digit growth in the mid-term in a highly competitive market. In particular, the Bank
is benefiting from, and continuing to invest in, technology to further digitise and automate its lending platform.
Transform Australian Wealth Management
The Australian Wealth Management business consists of the Platforms, Master Trust and Advice businesses which are transforming from
a vertically integrated wealth model to a competitive, contemporary wealth model.
GROW THE NORTH PLATFORM
Our Platform growth strategy is focused on attracting inflows through the external fund adviser market onto AMP’s flagship platform
North by delivering enhanced digital experiences and differentiating through innovative market leading retirement solutions.
OPTIMISE CLIENT OUTCOMES IN MASTER TRUST
The Master Trust strategy continues to focus on its asset management capability to deliver strong investment performance to our
customers and focusing on exploring partnership opportunities to drive scale and efficiencies.
ACCELERATE THE TRANSFORMATION IN ADVICE
Over the last year our Advice model has undergone significant transformation with the announcement of our exit of the employed advice
channel occurring on 3 December 2021. AMP’s Advice strategy is to be a professional services provider, delivering valued licensee services
at a competitive and sustainable price. Acceleration of the Advice business’ transformation will also see significant simplification of our
Advice model, with an ambition of breaking even by 2024.
Deliver stable client earnings in New Zealand Wealth Management
In 2H 2021 the business completed the transfer to a new investment approach with BlackRock along with the introduction of a new fee
structure resulting in improved customer outcomes. New Zealand’s wealth management strategy is focused on leveraging partnerships
and broadening its distribution footprint, whilst simplifying its cost base through automation and digitalisation.

Directors’ report

AMP Capital: Expand asset management footprint in private markets and explore partnership
opportunities for public markets
PRIVATE MARKETS
In 1H 2021, work commenced to demerge AMP Capital’s Private Markets business from AMP Limited. The business has continued to
deliver strong outcomes for clients with more than 90% of capital in the Global Infrastructure Fund II committed in infrastructure assets
around the world. The demerger and listing on the ASX are on track to complete in 1H 2022. Its strategy is to become a client led, globally
integrated investment manager offering a diversified suite of real estate and infrastructure capabilities across risk profiles and geographies.
As a standalone business, investors will be able to gain unique exposure to the investment management sector’s fastest growing asset class,
through a unique investment platform, a growing distribution footprint and a globally recognised team with a proven track record.
PUBLIC MARKETS
On 8 July 2021, AMP announced it entered into a binding agreement with Macquarie Asset Management to sell AMP Capital’s GEFI
business for a consideration of up to $185 million. This includes upfront cash consideration of up to $110 million and a cash earn-out of up
to $75 million payable after the second anniversary of completion. The aggregate consideration is subject to meeting certain conditions,
including revenue targets, with the upfront cash component now expected to be approximately $80 million. This transaction delivers on
the previously announced strategy for the AMP Capital Public Markets business to increase the scale of GEFI through partnerships or sale
and is an important step in preparing for the planned demerger. The deal is expected to complete in Q1 2022. AMP Capital is also in the
process of transferring the MAG business to AMP Australian Wealth Management to create an end-to-end superannuation and investment
platform business and this is on track for completion prior to the demerger.
Redefine and right size operating model for agility and efficiency
Building on the positive momentum achieved in 2021, the Company continues to progress commitments on its cost-base, capital
management and culture. Disciplined cost management has reduced controllable costs by $59 million (7%) to $775 million (excluding AMP
Capital) through the simplification of organisational structures, rationalising our property footprint and other efficiencies. $260 million
of cumulative gross cost-savings have been achieved since 2019. The on-market share buy-back was successfully completed during 1H 2021
and at 31 December 2021 AMP has a strong capital position of $383 million above target requirements.
The path to a new AMP is enabled by cultural transformation (improving inclusion, diversity, strengthening accountability and performance),
a purpose and values reset, and leadership engagement led by a new CEO. In 2021, we delivered the changes necessary in the transition
to a simpler, purpose-led AMP. This work included:
–
Improving inclusion and diversity to drive performance
•
•
•
•
•
Launched new Inclusion and Diversity Policy as a new foundation and standard for what inclusion means at AMP
Introduced an Inclusion Index to group and leader scorecards to measure how we are improving over time

Implemented a new approach to gender diversity with 40:40:20 gender representation targets

Executive management and Head of level
•
Launched new Parental Leave Policy removing parenting labels, increasing accessibility, and extending the period in which super
contributions are made during unpaid parental leave
–
Strengthening accountability across the company
•
Implemented a management action plan in response to a review of workplace conduct, with management delivering 55 actions
• Uplifted governance in support of prevention and taking a person-centred response to harassment and discrimination
• Uplifted the employee relations teams’ capabilities
•
•
Increased transparency of reporting and refined conduct and culture metrics
Improved the range of channels for employees to raise concerns or seek advice
• Continued to deliver strong compliance with Code of Conduct through training and support
–
Creating a high-performance culture
• Defined a culture change plan in support of business objectives and creating a simple, purpose-led AMP
• Conducted extensive workforce engagement program, with more than 30% of employees participating in culture workshops and
over 12,000 unique data points collected to inform our refreshed purpose and values
•
Implemented an improved performance framework strengthening link between performance and reward, including risk, leadership
and conduct
• Delivered quarterly culture dashboard to track culture change progress
•
•
•
Supported employee’s mental health and wellbeing through a new EAP program, resources, support and training
Launching LinkedIn learning to all employees to encourage our people to upskill, reskill and explore professional interests
Launched the Into-Great program, to give all employees access to personalised coaching and counselling services

Risk is inherent to our business and AMP takes measured risks within our risk appetite to achieve our strategic objectives.
We have a clear strategic plan to drive our business forward and an Enterprise Risk Management framework to identify,
measure, control and report risks.
Enterprise Risk Management framework
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework provides the foundation for how risks are managed across AMP. There are six key
elements of the ERM framework including governance, risk strategy and risk appetite, risk culture and conduct risk, management information
systems, risk management process (encompassing how AMP identifies, measures, responds to and reports risk) and the risk ecosystem.
The guiding principles in the framework assist with effective risk management practices and enable AMP to meet its legislative and
regulatory requirements, codes and ethical standards, as well as internal policies and procedures.
AMP’s ERM framework includes a risk management strategy which establishes the principles, requirements, roles and responsibilities
for management of risk across AMP. It enables business leaders to make informed decisions and supports AMP in achieving its business
strategy. The integrated framework details how risks are to be managed to fulfil the obligations to key stakeholders, clients, shareholders,
policyholders and regulators to achieve financial and non-financial outcomes.
The Risk Appetite Statement articulates the nature and level of risk the board and management are willing to accept in the pursuit of
delivering their strategic objectives. Alignment between AMP’s corporate strategy and the risk appetite of the AMP Limited Board seeks
to ensure that decisions are consistent with the nature and level of risk the board and management are willing to accept.
Further information can be found in AMP’s Enterprise Risk Management Policy, available on our website at: amp.com.au/corporategovernance.
Key business challenges
Given the nature of the financial services industry, COVID-19 continues to have an adverse impact on the business but AMP remains focused
to deliver its transformational strategy. Significant business challenges (in alphabetical order) include but are not limited to the following:
BUSINESS, EMPLOYEE AND BUSINESS PARTNER CONDUCT
The conduct of financial institutions continues to be an area of significant focus for the financial services industry both globally and in
Australia and New Zealand. AMP devotes significant effort to ensure that our business practices, management, staff or business partner
behaviours adequately meet the expectations of regulators, customers and the broader community, and do not result in an adverse impact
on our reputation and value proposition to customers.
Our Code of Conduct outlines how AMP seeks to conduct its business and how it expects people to conduct themselves. The principles that
define the high standards outline the behaviour and decision-making practices, including how we treat our employees, customers, business
partners and shareholders. We are committed to ensuring the right culture is embedded in our everyday practices.
AMP embraces a safe and respectful work environment that encourages our people to report issues or concerns in the workplace.
Directors, employees (current and former), contractors, service providers or any relative or dependants of any of these people can utilise
the Whistleblowing program to report conduct or unethical behaviours.
CLIMATE CHANGE
AMP, its customers and its external suppliers may be adversely affected by physical and transition risks associated with climate change.
These effects may directly impact AMP and its customers on a range of physical, financial and legal risks to our business, the investments
we manage on behalf of our customers and the wider community.
Initiatives to mitigate or respond to adverse impacts of climate change may in turn impact market and asset prices, economic activity,
and customer behaviour, particularly in geographic locations and industry sectors adversely affected by these changes.
AMP’s approach to managing climate related risks and opportunities is outlined in AMP’s Climate Position and Action Plan, available on
the AMP website. It includes providing low carbon and green investment choices to customers, managing and disclosing investment risks,
leveraging our influence as an investor, reducing our own operational impacts and supporting customers and communities where possible.
AMP provides annual performance disclosures aligned to key pillars of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
framework, including through its Sustainability Report and through investor led disclosures such as the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure
Project). In 2021, AMP retained an A- rating (second highest rating available) in the annual CDP investor disclosure program, indicating
leadership in our management of climate related risks and opportunities. AMP has been carbon neutral across its operations since 2013
to address the direct impacts of our business activities.
COMPETITOR AND CUSTOMER ENVIRONMENT
The financial services industry continues to face challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic but AMP remains focused in supporting clients and
employees during these unprecedented times. We have supported clients with banking and early release of super initiatives during COVID-19.
Customer expectations are evolving which is intensifying competition within wealth management as COVID-19 causes market volatility,
affecting the performance of its assets under management across the industry. There is also strong competitive tension in asset management.
AMP continues to adapt its capabilities and operating model in order to remain competitive and relevant to customers but an on-going
pandemic may impact on new business and retention of existing business.

Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2021
In 2021, AMP continued to deliver its strategy to reposition AMP as a simpler, client-led, growth-oriented business. The strategy to reinvent
AMP as a contemporary wealth manager is to fund growth, reduce costs and fix legacy issues. The strategy builds on core strengths and
market positions with whole-of-wealth solutions.
At the end of 2021, AMP announced its updated strategy to manage core capabilities to drive growth in banking and wealth platforms,
delivering stable earnings in the Master Trust and New Zealand Wealth Management businesses, and accelerating the transformation
of Advice. The program will also simplify the business to drive efficiency and agility, as well as explore new opportunities including
in retirement and direct-to-consumer solutions, as well as in new business adjacencies.
CYBER SECURITY THREATS
Cyber risk continues to be a threat in a rapidly changing technological and regulatory environment as the magnitude of the costs of
cybercrime vary depending on the nature of the attack. We are committed to enhancing our cyber security capability and control posture
as we recognise the current environment of cybercrime activity has increased across the industry during the period.
AMP is investing in building a capability that is both sustainable and commensurate to the threats faced, including having recently
launched a new Cyber Defence Centre and having built an enduring team to further uplift its cyber defences to mitigate malicious threats
and cybercrime activities. Whilst AMP has demonstrated maturity uplifts against the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber
Security Framework and our adopted industry best-practice framework, cyber risk will retain its position as a key risk as AMP continues
to mature and evolve its cyber security operating model. This will assist in preventing, detecting and responding to cyber incidents, in order
to protect AMP’s assets and business operations.
OPERATIONAL RISK ENVIRONMENT
Operational risk exposures, relevant to the industry in which AMP operates, relate to losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people and systems or from external events. These include, but are not limited to, information technology, human resources,
internal and external fraud, money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, bribery and corruption. High operational risks are driven
by a complex operating environment associated with legacy products, systems and, in some cases, manual controls. This environment will
be further stressed by the key business challenges included in this section.
Staff retention and key person risk are key operational risks for AMP, particularly in AMP Capital’s asset management business which
operates in a very competitive industry where competition for talent is high. AMP Capital remains subject to threats to its funds and its
people from time to time.
We are committed to containing operational risk by reducing operational complexity and strengthening risk management, internal controls
and governance. We have completed all file reviews for our client remediation program with some outstanding payments to be completed
by Q1 2022. We continue to reshape the Adviser network and simplify superannuation products and investment options.
The AMP operational risk profile reflects these exposures and the financial statements of AMP contain certain provisions and contingent
liability disclosures for these risks in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
In 2021, AMP concluded its portfolio review, announcing the planned demerger of the Private Markets business of infrastructure equity,
and real estate, the sale of the infrastructure debt platform to Ares Management Corporation, the sale of the Global Equities and Fixed
Income (GEFI) business to Macquarie Asset Management and the transfer of the Multi-Asset Group (MAG) to the Australian Wealth
Management. This coincided with additional changes to simplify the internal operating model.
There is a risk that business momentum is lost whilst organisational change is implemented. The increase in volume of change may have
an adverse impact to employees causing a strain to deliver on our strategy and transformation initiatives. These risks will be mitigated
by maintaining leadership and performance focus on the business.
AMP continues to invest in adopting new ways of working to drive efficiency and improve our practices to increase accountability and
build on core strengths. We recognise that failure to execute appropriately on the implementation of these changes can increase the risks
of disruption to AMP’s business operations.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
AMP operates in multiple jurisdictions across the globe, including Australia and New Zealand, and each of these jurisdictions has its own
legislative and regulatory requirements. The financial services industry both globally and in Australia and New Zealand continues to face
further challenges as temporary regulatory changes were introduced causing disruption to the wealth industry.
AMP continues to respond and adjust its business processes for these changes, however, failure to adequately anticipate and respond to
future regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the performance of its businesses and achieving its strategic objectives.
AMP’s commitment to strengthen its risk management practices, its control environment and enhancing its compliance systems across
the businesses, will address these legislative and regulatory requirements. AMP’s internal policies, frameworks and procedures seek to
ensure any changes in our domestic and international regulatory obligations are complied with in each jurisdiction. Compliance, legal and
regulatory risk that results in breaches is reported to AMP management committees and regulators. This is managed in accordance with
internal policies.
Regulatory consultations and interactions are reported and monitored as part of AMP’s internal risk and compliance reporting process.
AMP actively participates in these interactions and co-operates with all regulators to resolve such matters.
More information about our approach to these challenges can be found on our website at: corporate.amp.com.au/about-amp/

REMUNERATION
REPORT
Our Board and Executive KMP, as
leaders, are united in their recognition
of AMP’s historical significance, their
strong understanding of the business
challenges faced and their drive and
motivation to transform the business.
Dear fellow shareholder
In the 2021 financial year, enormous
efforts were made to drive far-reaching
and necessary changes within AMP. They
were made against an external backdrop
of another year heavily impacted by the
new variants of the global COVID-19
pandemic, with long periods punctuated
by lockdowns. There were also internal
pressures and complexities created by
the need to conduct the portfolio review,
which concluded in April 2021, a significant
shift in strategic direction and a change
in Chief Executive Officer (CEO) partway
through the group’s transformation.
New direction and stability
I am pleased, therefore, to report that new
levels of energy, stability and clear direction
have been brought to AMP under the
stewardship of its new CEO, Alexis George.
The promotion, hiring and retention of high-
calibre and respected senior executives,
who are outstanding leaders in their fields,
were successfully achieved. This includes
the appointment of Scott Hartley in January
as CEO Australian Wealth Management
and Shawn Johnson in June 2021 as CEO
AMP Capital and the recent appointment
of Felicia Trewin as Chief Technology Officer,
who will be joining us in March 2022.
Our Board and Executive KMP are united
in their recognition of AMP’s historical
significance, their strong understanding of
the business challenges faced and their drive
and motivation to transform the business.
Most importantly, like the Board, they are
focused on rebuilding value, trust and
confidence in the business, and are moving
at pace to make this happen.
Year in review
Despite some executive departures, the
overall performance of AMP tracked at
61.5% against the 2021 target scorecard.
This is a solid result, particularly
considering external factors (eg COVID
pandemic, unpredictability of market
and economic factors, consumer shifts)
and internal decisions (eg demerger,
Infrastructure Debt sale, impairments,
leadership changes) including uncertainty
from ongoing operating model change.
The most notable and significant
achievements during 2021 were:
–
–
–
–
The successful hiring and retention
of business leaders with proven track
records to the executive team
The laying of foundations and
delivering to date to the demerger
timetable to create two separate,
streamlined and agile businesses
– a new and reinvigorated AMP Limited
and Private Markets
The completion of the sale of the
remaining stake in Resolution Life
and the agreed divestments of other
non-core businesses – global equities,
fixed income and infrastructure debt
The core bank system was simplified
and modernised, and we more
strongly aligned our advice network,
invested in the North platform and
repriced the Master Trust and MySuper
products, the delivery of ~$130 million
in cost reductions and improvement
in culture.
The scorecard objectives, measures and
targets are set at the start of the year
and relate to weighted long-term goals
to improve financials, boost client care,
drive strategic priorities and significantly
lift both risk management and leadership.
Of the total scorecard targets set for 2021,
51% are financial and 49% non-financial
measurements, of which many are lead
indicators of sustainable future financial
performance such as strategy, culture,
leadership, reputation and risk.

underlying full-year results, the total score
achieved was due to the strategically
significant work undertaken, in large part,
by our renewed and strengthened executive
team during 2H21.
2021 incentive outcomes
In determining the 2021 group incentive
pool, the Board was highly cognisant of the
shareholder experience and the impacts of
organisational instability during the first half
of 2021. This was caused by previous poor
customer experiences as well as reputation-
related events, the portfolio review and the
announcement of Francesco De Ferrari’s
departure. These factors clearly weighed
on AMP’s reputation and share price.
It is important to highlight the tremendous
work and dedication of AMP’s employees,
who were significantly stretched at many
times during the year, yet consistently strove
to provide improved care to customers.
I wish to personally thank them for their
significant contributions to the business
during this difficult and challenging period.
Therefore, considering a holistic view of
performance, the risk overlay and the risk
metrics included in the scorecard, the Board
determined to set an incentive pool of
70% of target (excluding AMP Capital). We
aimed to balance the need to reward, retain
and motivate employees, acknowledging
strategic outcomes delivered in 2021,
while also recognising and aligning to the
disappointing shareholder experience. As
AMP works its way through this strategically
important and challenging time, the
judgement between rewarding and retaining
high-quality executives and the shareholder
experience represents some challenges.
The incentive pool for Executive KMP is
50% of target, of which 40% will be paid
in cash in April 2022 and 60% delivered
in share rights, that vest over three
years for the CEO and over two years for
Executive KMP. Individual allocations vary
based on time in role and performance.
Furthermore, the Board determined that
the former CEO will not receive a STI
allocation for 2021.
There were no long term incentive (LTI)
plans due to be tested in 2021; therefore, no
LTI vested in 2021. Subject to shareholder
approval at the AGM in May 2022,
performance rights under the LTI program
will be granted.
Based on our continued commitment
to provide greater transparency and
disclosure, we provided details on the 2021
scorecard and STI outcomes in Sections 1.4,
1.5, 3.2 and 3.5 of this report.
Executive remuneration
framework
The shareholder vote against the 2019
Remuneration Report was taken very
seriously by the Board. As a result, we
consulted with shareholders, proxy advisers
and other shareholder representatives.
We listened carefully to concerns along the
way and acted on them.
As outlined in last year’s Remuneration
Report, a consistent and simplified
executive remuneration framework was
developed during 2020 and applied from
1 January 2021, outlined in Section 1.3.
The Chair’s fees were reduced from
$660,000 to $561,000 and NEDs’ base fees
were reduced from $240,000 to $204,000
per annum (inclusive of superannuation
contributions).
With the demerger underway, no
amendments are proposed to the
framework for 2022. Nevertheless, it is the
Board’s intention to review key aspects of
executive remuneration on a regular basis
to ensure the structure and methodology
remain aligned with our remuneration
principles while supporting the
reinvigoration and growth of the new AMP.
Post the demerger, we will review and
ensure compliance with the Financial
Accountability Regime and APRA’s
remuneration prudential standard
(CPS 511) for implementation in 2023.
One-off events outside the
2021 remuneration framework
CEO’s sign-on award
We are delighted Alexis George, one the
country’s most experienced and respected
leaders in wealth and banking, joined AMP
as CEO in August 2021. A competitive
remuneration package was developed to
recognise remuneration forgone in leaving
her roles as ANZ Banking Group’s Deputy
CEO and Group Executive of its wealth arm,
with a sign-on equity award with a face
value of $4.091 million, tranches of which
will vest over the next four years. Part of the
sign-on equity, to the value of $1.32 million,
vested during 2021 and Alexis George also
received $732,500 in cash in lieu of STI
forgone at her previous employer.
Full details of Alexis George’s sign-on awards
and Francesco De Ferrari’s exit arrangements
can also be found in Section 1.6.
Retention awards
In 2020, during the portfolio review, to provide
enhanced stability and continuity across
the business, the Board granted one-off
retention awards to critical Executive KMP.
This also recognised key executives’ additional
workloads as a result of the portfolio review.
When the concept was first considered,
extensive consultation with shareholders
and proxy advisors was undertaken. They
expressed their general dislike of such
payments, however, understood and
recognised the challenging and unique
situation facing AMP.
As detailed in the 2020 Remuneration
Report, the retention awards totalled
$3.89 million. On 31 October 2021, 60% of
the award was paid in cash. The remaining
40% was delivered in share rights that will
vest on 31 October 2024.
Non-Executive Director
remuneration
As previously announced, the Board
reviewed the Chair and Non-Executive
Director fees and determined there would
be a 15% reduction to all fees effective
1 August 2021 to reflect the sale of AMP Life.
Non-Executive Director fees will be reviewed
again following completion of the demerger.
People and culture strategy
As we continue our drive to improve
AMP’s culture, uplifting our performance
framework and practices across AMP are an
important part of the reset. The framework
places equal emphasis on results (“the
what”) and behaviours (“the how”), linking
strategy, goals, performance outcomes
and remuneration. We are launching
a new performance management approach
in 2022 in conjunction with the roll out
of a new system: PeopleCONNECT.
Other actions undertaken during 2021
included: completion of the Group’s 2021
action plan, following an in-depth review
of workplace conduct, which will continue
in 2022; launching a new inclusion and
diversity policy; and uplifting workplace
relations capability.
A set of non-negotiable actions were
implemented, they include: delivering
inclusive leadership training for all AMP
employees; ensuring a consistent approach
to workplace conduct management,
including taking a person-centred approach
to conduct matters and the application of
consequences; and establishing succession
and retention plans for critical roles.
During 2021, we commenced our journey
towards a simpler, purpose-led AMP.
Importantly, we are taking an inclusive and
participative approach with employees and
customers to develop our new purpose and
values. We expect to launch these in 1H22.
The approach has engaged more than 30%
of the workforce in face-to-face workshops,
giving our people the opportunity to share
in open conversations about the past,
current experiences and envisage a positive
future. Furthermore, frequent messages
from Alexis George have been well received
and the executive team is focused on
leading by example. Regular employee
surveys show evidence of this, with
improved trust in leadership, and renewed
confidence in the direction of the business.
We appreciate and welcome feedback
from our stakeholders and will continue
to engage with you as we transform and
grow post demerger.
On behalf of the Board, I would like
to thank you for your support as an AMP
shareholder and invite you to read the full
report in detail.

2021 REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
The following diagram illustrates the remuneration framework applied to AMP Limited Executive KMP during 2021 and announced
in the 2020 Remuneration Report. It is underpinned by the remuneration governance, risk management and consequence management
frameworks and is subject to overall AMP Board discretion. The rationale for the remuneration framework has been to strengthen
and simplify AMP’s overall approach to remuneration. In addition, it was developed to work effectively within the context of AMP’s
transformation. With the variable pay and extensive deferral included in the awards, emphasis is placed on the shareholder experience
and compliance with regulatory frameworks and guidelines, including BEAR.

1 Fixed remuneration (FR) received reflects the time in role during 2021. For Rebecca Nash and Sean O’Malley, FR received also includes amounts received
prior to their appointments.
2 Cash STI paid during the relevant year is based on outcomes related to the applicable year’s performance and reflected for the relevant reporting period.
Cash STI represents 40% of the total STI awarded and the remaining 60% will be delivered in share rights in April 2022.
3 The cash component of the Portfolio Review retention awards granted in 2020 were paid on 31 October 2021 to Executive KMP at that time.
4 The value of vested equity awards was calculated based on the units which vested multiplied by the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP)
up to and including the vesting date of each award. The table also includes the portion of Alexis George’s sign-on awards that vested during 2021.
5 The CEO Alexis George received sign-on cash to the value of $732,500 in December 2021. Full details of the sign-on awards are provided in Section 1.6.
6 Other benefits may include non-monetary benefits and any related FBT exempt benefits and FBT payable benefits, for example car related expenses,
insurances, professional memberships and subscriptions.
7 The FR for Rebecca Nash and Sean O’Malley reflects their pro rated FR in their current KMP and prior non-KMP roles.
8 The STI amount is to be determined but will be within the range of zero to a cap of 58% of his target STI opportunity of $490,000.

Remuneration framework
No changes to the remuneration framework are proposed for 2022.
The Board will continue to review its approach to executive remuneration on a regular basis and will consult with shareholders for
feedback. Any adjustments will seek to ensure the structure and methodology remain aligned with our remuneration principles
whilst supporting the growth of the business. We will also review for compliance with the Financial Accountability Regime and APRA’s
remuneration prudential standard CPS 511 during 2022 for implementation in 2023.
Treatment of unvested equity at the demerger
The Board has approved an approach for the treatment of the unvested shares and rights at the time of demerger. The treatment is based
on the principle that employees should be treated fairly and in line with shareholders at the point of the demerger. The performance
measures should continue to operate as intended. The treatment is also consistent with market practice and the approach used in other
recent demergers.
2022 scorecard
For 2022, we are making changes to the scorecard to ensure that the process is simpler, more transparent and drives an improved,
performance-oriented and aligned business. While the key result areas remain consistent, their labels, respective weightings, along with
the objectives and measures are changing. In addition, principles have been established to inform the development of the scorecard,
to improve clarity and alignment, and increase focus on the successful achievement of the critical objectives. 1
SCORECARD PRINCIPLES ARE:
–
–
–
–
Be clear on strategic priorities
–
Focus on fewer objectives and measures
Increase focus on customer and people
– Quantitative or meaningful qualitative measures
Provide a whole of AMP perspective
Balance shareholder and regulator requirements
–

DETAILED BACKGROUND ON THE
REMUNERATION STRATEGY AND FRAMEWORK
2.1
REMUNERATION STRATEGY
The goal of the AMP remuneration strategy is to align performance, ensure prudent risk management and reward outcomes. It is designed
to support the attraction, retention and reward of high-performing talent required to deliver strong client outcomes, sustained returns to
shareholders and foster an environment where our employees can thrive. At the beginning of each year the Board sets the scorecard for the
year to support the achievement of the business strategy. The scorecard consists of five key strategic priorities as outlined below and the
Board determines the appropriate objectives, metrics and targets. These are then cascaded to business units and achievement is assessed
on overall, business unit, team and individual performance. Outcomes awarded under our remuneration framework reflect both what our
strategy seeks to deliver and how it is delivered, as performance assessment explicitly considers not only the strategic priorities delivered,
but also relies on the visible demonstration of our desired culture, behaviours and conduct expectations. The remuneration principles
provide AMP with the flexibility to address the challenges in attracting and retaining talent, remaining competitive and differentiating for
performance. These principles are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they remain fit for purpose and will be used by the Board in annual
assessments of the effectiveness of AMP’s remuneration strategy and framework.

REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK DETAILS
Based on shareholder feedback received in 2020, the Board reviewed the executive remuneration framework and introduced a new
simplified framework in 2021 to respond to the concerns previously raised via stakeholder feedback and to align better with market
practice. The framework is summarised in Section 1.2. More detail on the 2021 short and long term incentives is outlined below.
The Board also considers the shareholder experience, employee performance and applies a risk overlay in determining the reward outcome.
2021 SHORT TERM INCENTIVE
OVERVIEW
STI is the at-risk remuneration component designed to motivate and reward for performance during 2021.
AWARD
DETERMINATION
STIs are determined with reference to the performance of AMP relative to the scorecard, and Executive KMP
individual performance and behaviours. The final outcome and incentive pool is at the Board’s discretion based on:
–
A scorecard comprising financials, clients, strategic, risk management, and leadership priorities and objectives
that supports AMP’s risk management framework; and
–
Behaviour in line with AMP’s desired culture, conduct and risk appetite.
STI OPPORTUNITY
Target STI opportunity is 100% of fixed remuneration (FR) for the CEO and Executive KMP (70% of FR for the CRO).
Maximum STI opportunity is 200% target.
DELIVERY
40% of the STI award is delivered as cash and 60% is deferred into equity.
Deferred STI is delivered as conditional share rights that represents the right to receive a fully-paid ordinary AMP
share for nil consideration subject to continued employment at the time of vesting.

FORFEITURE (MALUS)
The Board has the ability to adjust unvested equity (including downwards to zero) in a range of circumstances,
such as protecting financial soundness or responding to unexpected or unintended consequences that were
unforeseen (such as material risk management breaches, unexpected financial losses, reputational damage
or regulatory non-compliance).

BOARD DISCRETION AND INCENTIVE POOL DETERMINATION
The overall scorecard outcome is 61.5%. This is a solid result, particularly considering external factors (eg COVID
pandemic, unpredictability of market and economic factors, consumer shifts) and internal factors (eg demerger,
Infrastructure Debt sale, impairments, leadership changes) and uncertainty from ongoing operating model change.
Considering the commitment and contributions of employees facing into these challenges the Board exercised
discretion and determined an incentive pool of 70% (excluding AMP Capital). The incentive pool for Executive KMP
is 50%. This reflects the need to balance the reward, retention and motivation of employees whilst recognising and
aligning to shareholder experience. The Board especially considered progress on:

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, adjust outcomes where an event occurs that means the targets of the relevant scorecard are
no longer appropriate. Situations where this discretion can be applied include:
– Material change to the strategic business plan
– Material regulatory or legislative change
– Material changes in external market or natural disasters
–
Significant out of plan business development such as acquisitions and divestments.
Adjustments should reflect the holistic contribution of employees/Executive KMP and exclude significant cost or gains that were unforeseen,
were not in the ordinary course of business or were not the direct result of Executive KMP efforts. During 2021, a number of adjustments
to the NPAT (statutory) measure was considered but did not change the outcome for that component, which remained at zero.

EXECUTIVE AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND CONTRIBUTION
For Executive KMP, contribution is aligned to the scorecard outcomes through the cascade of the company’s overall objectives to respective
portfolios of accountability. In this way, an executive’s performance is aligned to both company and their individual business unit
performance. Their individual performance, conduct and behaviour is also considered when determining the individual STI outcome.
For all other employees, their performance assessment reflects achievement against agreed objectives combined with consideration
of risk management, behaviour and conduct in line with the performance management process. Individual incentive opportunities and
performance ratings determine the portion of the incentive pool allocated to an individual.

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
4.1
GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK
There are a number of remuneration governance and oversight processes in place at AMP, primarily exercised through the AMP Limited
Board, subsidiary boards and the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee assists the various boards to fulfil their
remuneration obligations by developing, monitoring and assessing remuneration strategy, policies and practices across AMP.
Members of the Remuneration Committee are independent non-executive directors. More information on the role of the Remuneration
Committee can be found in the corporate governance section of AMP’s website. The Board believes that, to make prudent remuneration
decisions, it needs both a robust framework and the ability to exercise judgement. Therefore, the Board retains discretion to determine
the appropriate remuneration outcomes.
From time to time the Remuneration Committee may seek external guidance from independent remuneration advisors. Any advice
provided by external advisors is used as a guide and is not a substitute for consideration of all the issues by each Non-Executive Director
of the Remuneration Committee.
During the 2021 year, the Remuneration Committee engaged PwC as independent remuneration advisors to provide guidance on remuneration
for executives. No remuneration recommendations, as defined in the Corporations Act, were made by PwC.

RISK MANAGEMENT IN REMUNERATION
The Board has a range of mechanisms available to adjust remuneration and incentive outcomes to reflect behavioural, risk or compliance
outcomes. The table below summarises the range of mechanisms available and their intended operation.
Risk assessment
Risk and conduct outcomes
Malus and clawback provisions
Board discretion
Enterprise and business unit levels
All employees
All incentive plans
The Chief Risk Officer reports
the overall assessment of
risk management as an input
to the determination of the
incentive pool.
Employees’ risk management
behaviour and conduct is
specifically considered as
part of their performance
assessment and in
the determination of
remuneration outcomes.
The consequence
management framework
ensures that behaviour which
does not meet expectations
is actively and consistently
managed, including
adjustments to remuneration.
Allows the Board to adjust or
lapse (malus) unvested equity
awards or reclaim (clawback)
vested incentives in certain
circumstances.
All deferred incentives are
subject to a conduct and risk
review before vesting.
This applies to current and
former employees.
The Board may
apply its discretion
to adjust vesting
outcomes, subject to
the equity incentive
plan rules governing
the plan and in
compliance with the
relevant policies.
The Board exercises discretion to apply remuneration consequences to executives with overall accountability for matters arising in their
business units with adverse risk, client and/or reputational impacts. There is a standing agenda item at the Remuneration Committee
meetings in July, November and January for the CRO to present any risk related information the Committee should consider when making
remuneration decisions. The Committee considers both the achievement of the risk metrics as well as a risk overlay when determining
the incentive pool. Before every equity vesting event management provides a report to the Committee to highlight if there is any reason
including risk considerations, why the Committee should exercise its discretion to lapse the unvested equity award.
AMP’s consequence management framework was further strengthened in 2021. During the year there were a number of conduct matters
that were substantiated and resulted in the application of formal consequences. At the time of this report, the annual remuneration review
process is about to commence for employees (not including the Executive KMP) where conduct performance will be factored into any
remuneration decisions.
While 2021 presented many challenges from a people perspective, conduct cases involving interpersonal behavioural issues have remained
relatively low. This is a positive outcome, with the work environment risks mitigated by a significant range of mental health and other
support services provided to employees during the year.

EXECUTIVE SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENTS
The relevant amount of AMP equity required to be held under minimum shareholding policy and the time to comply is as follows:
Category
Fixed pay
Timeframe
Securities included to meet requirement
CEO
200%
Executive KMP
100%
Executives are expected to achieve the
minimum shareholding requirement
within a five-year period from
commencement in their role
AMP Limited shares: ordinary AMP Limited
shares registered in the Executive KMP’s name
or a related party
AMP share rights: granted to executives through
AMP’s employee share plans
Share rights allocated to Executive KMP are included to meet their minimum holding requirement only where future vesting is not subject
to any further performance condition (other than a continued service condition). AMP Limited shares and/or share rights cannot be hedged.
Executive KMP are not expected to purchase shares to meet the requirement. Rather, it is expected that they would not sell any shares
held (other than to cover arising tax liabilities) and that they will retain vested shares and share rights until the minimum requirement
is reached.

EXECUTIVE SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENTS
The relevant amount of AMP equity required to be held under minimum shareholding policy and the time to comply is as follows:
Category
Fixed pay
Timeframe
Securities included to meet requirement
CEO
200%
Executives are expected to achieve the
AMP Limited shares: ordinary AMP Limited
minimum shareholding requirement
shares registered in the Executive KMP’s name
Executive KMP
100%
within a five-year period from
commencement in their role
or a related party

AMP’s employee share plans
Share rights allocated to Executive KMP are included to meet their minimum holding requirement only where future vesting is not subject
to any further performance condition (other than a continued service condition). AMP Limited shares and/or share rights cannot be hedged.
Executive KMP are not expected to purchase shares to meet the requirement. Rather, it is expected that they would not sell any shares
held (other than to cover arising tax liabilities) and that they will retain vested shares and share rights until the minimum requirement
is reached.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEES AND
SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENTS
6.1
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEES
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing NED fees for AMP Limited and its main subsidiaries. In reviewing these fees,
the Remuneration Committee has regard to a range of factors, including: the complexity of AMP’s operations and those of its main
subsidiaries; fees paid to board members of other Australian corporations of a similar size and complexity; and the responsibilities and
workload requirements of each board and committee.
The Remuneration Committee obtains market data and recommends any proposed fee changes to the AMP Limited Board for approval.
The total amount of NED fees paid is capped at a maximum aggregate fee pool approved by shareholders. The current fee pool is $4,620,000,
which was approved by shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
In 2021, the Board reviewed the Chair and NED fees and determined that there would be a 15% reduction to all fees effective 1 August 2021
given the reduction in size of AMP Limited due to the sale of AMP Life. Despite the heavy workload and the number of meetings increasing
as a result of the demerger and transformation work in 2021, the Chair fees were reduced from $660,000 to $561,000 and NEDs’ base
fees were reduced from $240,000 to $204,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation contributions). Non-Executive Director fees will be
reviewed again following the completion of the demerger.
The total remuneration paid to AMP Limited NEDs during 2021 was $2,607,253, which represents 56% of the annual fee pool compared with
74% paid in 2020. This represents an overall 23.7% cost reduction in aggregate NED fee spend year on year.
The following table shows the annual NED fees for the Board and permanent committees of AMP Limited and its main subsidiaries for 2021.

1 The Chair of AMP Limited does not receive separate committee fees.
2 No additional fees are paid to NEDs for their membership or for chairing the AMP Bank Limited Board.
3 The NED fee structure was revised 1 August 2021 with a 15% reduction to all fees and will continue to apply for 2022.
6.2
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING
The minimum shareholding requirement (MSR) for NEDs is set out in AMP’s minimum shareholding policy. Under this policy NEDs are
required to accumulate and hold a minimum value of AMP shares to ensure their interests are closely aligned with the long term interests
of AMP shareholders. As at the date of this report, these minimum values are:
– AMP Limited Chair: $561,000 – the equivalent of the AMP Limited Chair base fee
– Other AMP Limited NEDs: $204,000 – the equivalent of the AMP Limited NED base fee.
NEDs are ordinarily expected to achieve these levels within four years of their appointment, see Section 7.6. The policy expects NEDs
to apply at least 25% of their base fee each year to acquire AMP shares until the MSR has been met. NEDs are also encouraged to increase
their ownership over their tenure. Any such acquisition of AMP shares may only occur when permitted to do so in accordance with AMP’s
Trading Policy.

1 Cash salary is inclusive of base salary and short term compensated absences.
2 Cash STI for 2021 reflects 40% of STI award outcome for the performance year for Executive KMP.

such as total shareholder return (market conditions). The cost of the award is amortised over the vesting period and updated at each reporting period for
changes in the number of instruments that are expected to vest.
6 Other long term benefits represent the net change in long service leave accrued.
7 The termination payment for Francesco De Ferrari includes payment for additional work performed for AMP Capital during the year, relocation, tax and
legal costs and six months notice in lieu; the termination payment for Helen Livesey includes balance of twelve months notice in lieu and redundancy
payment; see Section 1.6.

Directors’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2021
ROUNDING
In accordance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations Instrument 2016/191, amounts in this directors’
report and the accompanying financial report have been rounded off to the nearest million Australian dollars, unless stated otherwise.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Audit Committee has reviewed details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided to the AMP group
during the year ended 31 December 2021, by the company’s auditors, EY.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 and did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
–
–
–
all non-audit assignments were approved by the CFO, or his nominated delegate, or the Chair of the Audit Committee;
no non-audit assignments were carried out which were specifically excluded by the AMP Charter of Audit Independence; and
the proportion of non-audit fees to audit fees paid to EY of 21% (2020: 7%), as disclosed in note 6.5 to the financial report is not
considered significant enough to compromise EY’s independence or cause a perception of compromise.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
ABOUT THIS REPORT
This section outlines the structure of the AMP group, information useful to understanding the
AMP group’s financial report and the basis on which the financial report has been prepared.
(a) Understanding the AMP financial report
The AMP group (AMP) is comprised of AMP Limited (the parent), a holding company incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and the
entities it controls (subsidiaries or controlled entities). The consolidated financial statements of AMP Limited include the financial
information of its controlled entities.
The consolidated financial report:
–
–
–
–
–
–
is a general purpose financial report;
has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards including
Australian Accounting Interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board;
is presented in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest million dollars ($m), unless otherwise stated;
has been prepared on a going concern basis generally using a historical cost basis; however where permitted under accounting
standards a different basis may be used, including the fair value basis;
presents assets and liabilities on the face of the Consolidated statement of financial position in decreasing order of liquidity and
therefore does not distinguish between current and non-current items;
presents reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year’s presentation within the
annual report; and
–
includes restated comparative information to reflect the impact of a change in accounting policy as detailed in note 2.3.
AMP Limited is a for-profit entity and is limited by shares.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were authorised for issue on 10 February 2022 in accordance with
a resolution of the directors.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
SALE OF AMP CAPITAL’S GLOBAL EQUITIES AND FIXED INCOME BUSINESS
On 8 July 2021, AMP announced an agreement to sell AMP Capital’s Global Equities and Fixed Income (GEFI) business to Macquarie Asset
Management for up to $185m. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2022.
Consideration at completion will comprise an upfront cash payment of up to $110m and deferred consideration of up to $75m.
The aggregate consideration is subject to meeting certain conditions, including revenue targets, with the upfront cash component
expected to be approximately $80m. The deferred consideration will be fair valued by AMP at completion and, together with the cash
proceeds, will be treated as the accounting purchase price.
GEFI was controlled by AMP throughout the reporting period and as a result, the income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows
of this business are consolidated within the financial report. In accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations (AASB 5), the assets and liabilities of this business have been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement
of financial position.
DIVESTMENT OF EQUITY INTEREST IN RESOLUTION LIFE AUSTRALASIA
On 3 November 2021, AMP announced an agreement to divest its 19.13% equity interest in Resolution Life NOHC Pty Ltd (RLA) for consideration
of $524m to Resolution Life Group, less the amount of any dividends, distributions or capital returns that are paid from RLA to AMP. The sale
is subject to Regulatory approval and is expected to complete in the first half of 2022.
Subsequent to the agreement to divest, AMP received dividends and capital returns from RLA of $15m, reducing the consideration payable
at completion to $509m. In accordance with AASB 5, the carrying value of AMP’s equity interest in RLA has been adjusted to $509m as at
31 December 2021 and has been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement of financial position.
As part of the divestment agreement, AMP and RLA have also agreed to settle a number of post-completion adjustments and certain claims
between the parties, subject to various limitations and exclusions, which results in a payment of $141m from AMP to RLA at completion.
This balance has been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement of financial position.
DIVESTMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEBT PLATFORM
On 24 December 2021, AMP announced an agreement to sell its Infrastructure Debt platform to Ares Holdings LP for consideration of up to
$428m. The sale is subject to a number of conditions precedent and is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2022. AMP’s Infrastructure
Debt platform was controlled by AMP throughout the reporting period and as a result, the income and expenses, assets and liabilities and
cash flows of the platform are consolidated within the financial report. As at 31 December 2021, the assets and liabilities of this business
have been separately classified as held for sale in the Consolidated statement of financial position.
COVID-19 impacts
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to the global economy during the year ended 31 December 2021 and there
remains substantial uncertainty over the ultimate duration and extent of the pandemic as well as the corresponding economic impacts.
These uncertainties have been incorporated into the judgements and estimates used by management in the preparation of this report,
including the carrying values of the assets and liabilities.
(b) Basis of consolidation
Entities are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the AMP group obtains control, and continue to be
consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control exists where the AMP group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Income, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows of controlled entities are consolidated into the AMP group financial statements, along
with those attributable to the shareholders of the parent entity. All inter-company transactions are eliminated in full, including unrealised
profits arising from intra-group transactions.
The share of the net assets of controlled entities attributable to non-controlling interests is disclosed as a separate line item on the
Consolidated statement of financial position.
Materiality
Information has only been included in the financial report to the extent that it has been considered material and relevant to the
understanding of the financial statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:
–
–
–
–
the amount in question is significant because of its size or nature;
it is important for understanding the results of the AMP group;
it helps explain the impact of significant changes in the AMP group; and/or
it relates to an aspect of the AMP group’s operations that is important to its future performance.
(c) Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are contained in the notes to the financial statements
to which they relate. All accounting policies have been consistently applied to the current year and comparative period, unless otherwise
stated. Where an accounting policy relates to more than one note or where no note is provided, the accounting policies are set out below.

1 Presentation adjustments primarily reflect the difference between total segment revenue and statutory revenue from contracts with customers,
as required by AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These adjustments include revenue from sources other than contracts with customers
and expense items which are presented net in the segment results, but presented gross in the Consolidated income statement.
2 A substantial majority of the financial advisory fees received are paid to advisers. For statutory reporting, financial advisory fees are presented gross of the
related cost which is presented in Fee and commission expenses in the Consolidated income statement.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Revenue from contracts with customers
For AMP, revenue from contracts with customers arises primarily from the provision of investment management and financial advisory
services. Revenue is recognised when control of services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which
AMP is entitled to in exchange for the services provided. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the service
is provided, control is transferred over time. Accordingly, revenue is recognised over time.
Fee rebates provided to customers are recognised as a reduction in fee revenue.
Investment management and related fees
Fees are charged to customers in connection with the provision of investment management and other related services. These performance
obligations are satisfied on an ongoing basis, usually daily, and revenue is recognised as the service is provided.
Financial advisory fees
Financial advisory fees consist of fee-for-service revenue and commission income which are earned for providing customers with financial
advice and performing related advisory services. These performance obligations are satisfied over time. Accordingly, revenue is recognised
over time.
A substantial majority of the financial advisory fees received are paid to advisers. Financial advisory fees are presented gross of the related
cost which is presented in Fees and commission expenses in the Consolidated income statement.

2 Weighted average number of shares used in the basic and diluted Earnings Per Share calculation is the same for the year ended 31 December 2021 as the effect
of share rights expected to vest are anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation (2020: Performance rights have been determined to be dilutive, however,
if these instruments vest and are exercised, it is AMP’s policy to buy AMP shares on market so there will be no dilutive effect on the value of AMP shares).

TAXES CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Income tax expense
Income tax expense is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction
and adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. These changes are attributable to:
–
–
–
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their Consolidated statement of financial position
carrying amounts;
unused tax losses; and
the impact of changes in the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates or in the manner
in which these balances are expected to be realised.
Adjustments to income tax expense are also made for any differences between the amounts paid, or expected to be paid, in relation
to prior periods and the amounts provided for these periods at the start of the current period.
Any tax impact on income and expense items that are recognised directly in equity is also recognised directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences and are measured at the tax rates which are expected to apply
when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction
at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Tax consolidation
AMP Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax-consolidated group, with AMP Limited being the head
entity (the company). A tax funding agreement has been entered into by the head entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated
group and requires entities to fully compensate the company for current tax liabilities and to be fully compensated by the company for any
current or deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses arising from external transactions occurring after 30 June 2003, the implementation
date of the tax-consolidated group.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The AMP group is subject to taxes in Australia and other jurisdictions where it has operations. The application of tax law to
the specific circumstances and transactions of the AMP group requires the exercise of judgement by management. The tax
treatments adopted by management in preparing the financial statements may be impacted by changes in legislation and
interpretations or be subject to challenge by tax authorities.
Judgement is also applied by management in determining the extent to which the recovery of carried forward tax losses
and deductible temporary differences are probable for the purpose of meeting the criteria for recognition as deferred
tax assets.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Dividend franking credits
Franking credits available to shareholders are $67m (2020: $76m), based on a tax rate of 30%. This amount is calculated from the balance
of the franking account as at the end of the reporting period, adjusted for franking credits that will arise from the settlement, after the end
of the reporting date, of liabilities for income tax and receivables for dividends.
The company’s ability to utilise the franking account credits depends on meeting Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requirements to declare dividends.
Franked dividends are franked at a tax rate of 30%.
Income tax expense is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction
and adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. These changes are attributable to:
–
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their Consolidated statement of financial position
the impact of changes in the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates or in the manner
in which these balances are expected to be realised.
Adjustments to income tax expense are also made for any differences between the amounts paid, or expected to be paid, in relation
to prior periods and the amounts provided for these periods at the start of the current period.
Any tax impact on income and expense items that are recognised directly in equity is also recognised directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences and are measured at the tax rates which are expected to apply
when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction

LOANS AND ADVANCES CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Financial assets measured at amortised cost – loans and advances and debt securities
Loans and advances and debt securities are measured at amortised cost when both of the following conditions are met:
–
–
the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of the financial asset. These assets are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
Loans and advances are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when AMP
Bank provides money directly to a customer, including loans and advances to advisers, and with no intention of trading the financial asset.
Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs relating to loan origination.
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.
In 2020, as a resultant impact of COVID-19 AMP Bank introduced loan repayment deferral arrangements to mortgage customers.
The repayment deferrals are considered a continuation of customers’ existing loans and recognised as non-substantial loan modifications
as they continue to accrue interest on deferred repayments. A request for repayment deferrals is not automatically treated as, but may
result in, a significant increase in credit risk, subject to management assessment.
IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
An allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) is recognised for financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are
probability weighted estimates of credit losses and are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls discounted at the effective
interest rate of the financial instrument. The key elements in the measurement of ECLs are as follows:
–
–
–
PD – the probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon.
EAD – the exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the
exposure after the reporting date.
LGD – loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference
between cash flows due to the group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the group expects to receive, including
from the realisation of any collateral.
The group estimates these elements using appropriate credit risk models taking into consideration a number of factors including the
internal and external credit ratings of the assets, nature and value of collateral and forward-looking macro-economic scenarios.
Other than ECL on trade receivables, where a simplified approach is taken, the group applies a three-stage approach to measure the ECLs
as follows:
STAGE 1 (12-MONTH ECL)
The group collectively assesses and recognises a provision at an amount equal to 12-month ECL when financial assets are current and/or
have had a good performance history and are of low credit risk. It includes financial assets where the credit risk has improved, and the
financial assets have been reclassified from Stage 2 or even Stage 3 based on improved performance observed over a predefined period
of time. A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition
of ‘investment grade’.
STAGE 2 (LIFETIME ECL – NOT CREDIT IMPAIRED)
The group collectively assesses and recognises a provision at an amount equal to lifetime ECL on financial assets where there has been
a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but the financial assets are not credit impaired.
The quantitative criteria used to determine a significant increase in credit risk is a series of relative and absolute thresholds. Financial
assets that were 30 days past due at least once over the last six months are deemed to have significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition. For loans and advances, other risk factors like hardship, loan to value ratio (LVR) and loan to income ratio (LTI) are
also considered in order to determine a significant increase in credit risk.
STAGE 3 (LIFETIME ECL – CREDIT IMPAIRED)
The group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL on financial assets that are determined to be credit impaired
based on objective evidence of impairment. Financial assets are classified as impaired when payment is 90 days past due or when there
is no longer reasonable assurance that principal or interest will be collected in their entirety on a timely basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Impairment
The impairment provisions (individual and collective) are outputs of ECL models with a number of underlying assumptions
regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered
accounting estimates and judgements include:
–
–
–
–
–
the AMP group’s internal grading which assigns PDs to the individual grades;
the AMP group’s estimates of LGDs arising in the event of default;
the AMP group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk;
development of ECL models, including the various formulas, choice of inputs and assumptions; and
determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the
economic inputs into the ECL models.
Future outcomes and macro-economic conditions which differ from management’s assumptions and estimates could
result in changes to the timing and amount of credit losses to be recognised.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the date the AMP group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. At initial recognition, financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and amortised cost. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends
on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the group’s business model for managing them.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred.
A transfer occurs when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are passed to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured on initial recognition as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised
at fair value, determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred
in profit or loss. Any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised in profit
or loss in the period in which they arise.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the date the AMP group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. At initial recognition, financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and amortised cost. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends
on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the group’s business model for managing them.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred.
A transfer occurs when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are passed to an unrelated third party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured on initial recognition as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised
at fair value, determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred
in profit or loss. Any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised in profit
or loss in the period in which they arise.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss – debt securities
Debt securities can be irrevocably designated, at initial recognition, as measured at fair value through profit or loss where doing so would
eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency or otherwise results in more relevant information. Fair value
on initial recognition is determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs. Transactions costs are expensed
as incurred in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the bid price at the reporting date. Any realised and
unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised in the Consolidated income statement in the
period in which they arise.
Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI – debt securities
Debt securities are measured at fair value through OCI when both of the following conditions are met:
–
–
the instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair value through OCI instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value
recognised in OCI. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit
or loss in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.
The accumulated gains or losses recognised in OCI are recycled to profit and loss upon derecognition of the assets.
The group classifies debt securities held by AMP Bank under this category.
3,684
5,087
Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI – equity securities
Upon initial recognition, the group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value
through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.
The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in the statement
of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject
to impairment assessment.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost – debt securities
Refer to note 2.1 for details.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Financial assets measured at fair value
Where available, quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments are used to determine fair value. Where there
is no market price available for an instrument, a valuation technique is used. Management applies judgement in selecting
valuation techniques and setting valuation assumptions and inputs. Further detail on the determination of fair value
of financial instruments is set out in note 2.7.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangements
Up until the IFRIC decision published in April 2021, generally accepted accounting practice was to capitalise costs associated with
establishing a SaaS platform, such as configuration and customisation costs, on the basis that the benefits associated with such costs
would be realised over multiple future financial periods. Pursuant to the IFRIC decision, the group’s accounting policy for SaaS Cloud
Platform costs is to expense costs related to configuration and customisation of SaaS Cloud platforms in the period in which such
services are received unless identifiable and distinct intangible assets controlled by the group are created.
The change in policy has been applied retrospectively through opening retained earnings and comparatives have been restated.
The impact on the group’s financial statements to reflect the write-off of previously capitalised costs is shown in the table below.
A positive number indicates an increase in the relevant balance and a negative amount signifies a reduction.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment
losses. The cost represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
Capitalised costs
Costs are capitalised when the costs relate to the creation of an asset with expected future economic benefits which are capable of reliable
measurement. Capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, commencing at the time
the asset is first put into use or held ready for use, whichever is the earlier.
Value of in-force business
The value of in-force business represents the fair value of future business arising from existing contractual arrangements of a business
acquired as part of a business combination. The value of in-force business is initially measured at fair value and is subsequently measured
at fair value less amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Distribution networks
Distribution networks such as customer lists, financial planner client servicing rights or other distribution-related rights, either acquired
separately or through a business combination, are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at cost less amortisation
and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the intangible asset. The estimated
useful lives are generally:
Item
Capitalised costs
Distribution networks
Useful life
Up to 10 years
2 to 15 years
The useful life of each intangible asset is reviewed at the end of the period and, where necessary, adjusted to reflect current assessments.
Impairment testing
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested at least annually for impairment. Other intangible assets are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows
(cash-generating units or CGUs). An impairment loss is recognised when the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds the CGU’s recoverable
amount. When applicable, an impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill and any remainder is then allocated to the other assets
on a pro-rata basis.

Management applies judgement in selecting valuation techniques and setting valuation assumptions to determine the:

acquisition date fair value and estimated useful life of acquired intangible assets;
allocation of goodwill to CGUs and determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs; and
assessment of whether there are any impairment indicators for acquired intangibles and internally generated
intangibles, where required, in determining the recoverable amount.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
2.7
FAIR VALUE INFORMATION CONTINUED
AMP’s methodology and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:
Equity securities and listed
managed investment
schemes
The fair value of listed equity securities traded in an active market and listed managed investment
schemes reflects the quoted bid price at the reporting date. In the case of equity securities where
there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques including the use
of recent arm’s length transactions, references to other instruments that are substantially the same,
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
Debt securities
The fair value of listed debt securities reflects the bid price at the reporting date. Listed debt securities
that are not frequently traded are valued by discounting estimated recoverable amounts.
Loans
The fair value of unlisted debt securities is estimated using interest rate yields obtainable on
comparable listed investments. For debt securities with a maturity of less than 12 months, par value
is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
The estimated fair value of loans represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash
flows expected to be received, based on the maturity profile of the loans. As the loans are unlisted,
the discount rates applied are based on the yield curve appropriate to the remaining term of the
loans. The loans may, from time to time, be measured at an amount in excess of fair value due
to fluctuations on fixed rate loans. In these situations, as the fluctuations in fair value would not
represent a permanent diminution and the carrying amounts of the loans are recorded at recoverable
amounts after assessing impairment, it would not be appropriate to restate their carrying amount.
Unlisted managed
investment schemes
The fair value of investments in unlisted managed investment schemes is determined on the basis
of published redemption prices of those managed investment schemes at the reporting date.
Derivative financial assets
and liabilities
Corporate borrowings
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives)
is based on quoted market prices (current bid price or current offer price) at the reporting date.
The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (eg over-the-counter derivatives)
is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques,
option pricing models, discounted cash flow methods and comparison to quoted market prices or
dealer quotes for similar instruments. The models use a number of inputs, including the credit quality
of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies,
currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves
of the underlying instruments. Some derivatives contracts are significantly cash collateralised, thereby
minimising both counterparty risk and the group’s own non-performance risk.
Borrowings comprise commercial paper, drawn liquidity facilities, various floating-rate and medium-
term notes and subordinated debt. The estimated fair value of borrowings is determined with
reference to quoted market prices. For borrowings where quoted market prices are not available,
a discounted cash flow model is used, based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining
term to maturity. For short-term borrowings, the par value is considered a reasonable approximation
of the fair value.
AMP Bank deposits and
other borrowings
The estimated fair value of deposits and other borrowings represents the discounted amount
of estimated future cash flows expected to be paid based on the residual maturity of these liabilities.
The discount rate applied is based on a current yield curve appropriate for similar types of deposits
and borrowings at the reporting date.
Guarantee
liabilities
The fair value of the guarantee liabilities is determined as the net present value of future cash flows
discounted using market rates. The future cash flows are determined using risk neutral stochastic
projections based on assumptions such as mortality rate, lapse rate and asset class allocation/correlation.
The future cash flows comprise expected guarantee claims and hedging expenses net of expected
fee revenue.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
AMP’s methodology and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:
Equity securities and listed
The fair value of listed equity securities traded in an active market and listed managed investment
managed investment
schemes reflects the quoted bid price at the reporting date. In the case of equity securities where
schemes
there is no active market, fair value is established using valuation techniques including the use
of recent arm’s length transactions, references to other instruments that are substantially the same,
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
Debt securities
The fair value of listed debt securities reflects the bid price at the reporting date. Listed debt securities
that are not frequently traded are valued by discounting estimated recoverable amounts.
The fair value of unlisted debt securities is estimated using interest rate yields obtainable on
comparable listed investments. For debt securities with a maturity of less than 12 months, par value
is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
flows expected to be received, based on the maturity profile of the loans. As the loans are unlisted,
the discount rates applied are based on the yield curve appropriate to the remaining term of the
loans. The loans may, from time to time, be measured at an amount in excess of fair value due
to fluctuations on fixed rate loans. In these situations, as the fluctuations in fair value would not
represent a permanent diminution and the carrying amounts of the loans are recorded at recoverable
amounts after assessing impairment, it would not be appropriate to restate their carrying amount.
Unlisted managed
investment schemes
The fair value of investments in unlisted managed investment schemes is determined on the basis
of published redemption prices of those managed investment schemes at the reporting date.
Derivative financial assets
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives)
and liabilities
is based on quoted market prices (current bid price or current offer price) at the reporting date.
The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (eg over-the-counter derivatives)
is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques,
option pricing models, discounted cash flow methods and comparison to quoted market prices or
dealer quotes for similar instruments. The models use a number of inputs, including the credit quality
of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies,
currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves
of the underlying instruments. Some derivatives contracts are significantly cash collateralised, thereby
minimising both counterparty risk and the group’s own non-performance risk.
term notes and subordinated debt. The estimated fair value of borrowings is determined with
reference to quoted market prices. For borrowings where quoted market prices are not available,
a discounted cash flow model is used, based on a current yield curve appropriate for the remaining
term to maturity. For short-term borrowings, the par value is considered a reasonable approximation
of the fair value.

Level 3 fair values
The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised using the fair value hierarchy which reflects the significance
of inputs into the determination of fair value as follows:
–
–
Level 1: the fair value is valued by reference to quoted prices and active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
–
Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the group determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the 2021 financial year. Transfers to and from Level 3 are
shown in the Reconciliation of Level 3 values table later in this note.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the valuation
processes applied in valuing such assets was governed by valuation policies adopted by the AMP group including the AMP Capital valuation
policy. These policies outline the asset valuation methodologies and processes applied to measure non-exchange traded assets which
have no regular market price, including investment property, infrastructure, private equity, alternative assets, and illiquid debt securities.
All significant Level 3 assets were referred to the appropriate valuation committee who met at least every six months, or more frequently
if required.
The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 3 fair values of financial assets measured at fair value
on a recurring basis, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Interest-bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method.
It is AMP’s policy to hedge currency and interest rate risk arising on issued bonds and subordinated debt. When fair value hedge accounting
is applied, the carrying amounts of borrowings and subordinated debt are adjusted for changes in fair value related to the hedged risk for
the period that the hedge relationship remains effective. Any changes in fair value for the period are recognised in the Consolidated income
statement. In cash flow hedge relationships the borrowings are not revalued.
Finance costs include:
(i) borrowing costs:
–
–
interest on bank overdrafts, borrowings and subordinated debt;
amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings;

(ii) exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest
costs; and
(iii) changes in the fair value of derivative hedges together with any change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that
are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, foreign exchange gains and losses and other financing-related amounts. Changes
in the fair value of derivatives in effective cash flow hedges are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve. The accounting policy for
derivatives is set out in note 3.4.
Finance costs are recognised as expenses when incurred.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The AMP Limited Board has overall responsibility for the risk management framework including the approval of AMP’s strategic plan,
risk management strategy and risk appetite. Specifically, financial risk arises from the holding of financial instruments and financial risk
management (FRM) is an integral part of the AMP group’s enterprise risk management framework.
This note discloses financial risk in accordance with the categories in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures:
– market risk;
–
–
liquidity and refinancing risk; and
credit risk.
These risks are managed in accordance with the board-approved risk appetite statement and the individual policies for each risk category and
business approved by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) under delegation from the AMP Group Asset and Liability Committee (Group ALCO).
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of assets and liabilities, or future cash flows of a financial instrument, will fluctuate due
to movements in the financial markets including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, property prices, credit spreads,
commodity prices, market volatilities and other financial market variables.
The following table provides information on significant market risk exposures for the AMP group, which could lead to an impact on the
AMP group’s profit after tax and equity, and the management of those exposures.
Market risk
Interest rate risk
The risk of an impact on the AMP group’s
profit after tax and equity arising from
fluctuations in the fair value or future
cash flows of financial instruments due
to changes in market interest rates.
Interest rate movements could result
from changes in the absolute levels of
interest rates, the shape of the yield curve,
the margin between yield curves and the
volatility of interest rates.
Currency risk
The risk of an impact on the AMP group’s
profit after tax and equity arising from
fluctuations of the fair value of a financial
asset, liability or commitment due
to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Exposures
The AMP group’s long-term borrowings
and subordinated debt.
AMP Bank interest rate risk from
mismatches in the repricing terms
of assets and liabilities (term risk) and
variable rate short-term repricing bases
(basis risk).
Foreign currency denominated assets
and liabilities.
Foreign equity accounted associates and
capital invested in overseas operations.
Foreign exchange rate movements
on specific cash flow transactions.
Equity price risk
The risk of an impact on the AMP group’s
profit after tax and equity arising from
fluctuations in the fair value or future
cash flows of a financial instrument due
to changes in equity prices.
Exposure for shareholders includes listed
and unlisted shares, guarantee liabilities
and participation in equity unit trusts.
Management of exposures and use
of derivatives
Interest rate risk is managed by entering
into interest rate swaps, which have the
effect of converting borrowings from
floating rate to fixed rate.
AMP Bank uses natural offsets, interest
rate swaps and basis swaps to hedge the
mismatches within exposure limits. Group
Treasury manages the exposure in AMP
Bank by maintaining a net interest rate
risk position within the limits delegated
and approved by the AMP Bank Board.
The AMP group uses swaps to hedge the
interest rate risk and foreign currency
risk on foreign currency denominated
borrowings but does not hedge the
capital invested in overseas operations.
The AMP group hedges material foreign
currency risk originated by receipts and
payments once the value and timing
of the expected cash flow is known.
In addition, the AMP group will at times
pre-hedge any future (but not expected)
foreign currency receipts and payments,
subject to market conditions.
Group Treasury may, with Group ALCO
approval, use equity exposures or
equity futures or options to hedge other
enterprise-wide equity exposures.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
The AMP Limited Board has overall responsibility for the risk management framework including the approval of AMP’s strategic plan,
risk management strategy and risk appetite. Specifically, financial risk arises from the holding of financial instruments and financial risk
management (FRM) is an integral part of the AMP group’s enterprise risk management framework.

Risk
Credit risk
Credit default risk is the risk of financial
or reputational loss due to a counterparty
failing to meet their contractual
commitments in full and on time.
Concentration of credit risk arises when
a number of financial instruments
or contracts are entered into with the
same counterparty or where a number
of counterparties are engaged in similar
business activities that would cause their
ability to meet contractual obligations
to be similarly affected by changes
in economic or other conditions.
Management of exposures and use
of derivatives
Managed by individual investment teams.
There is also a dedicated credit research
team and a specific credit investment
committee. The investment risk and
performance team provides reports to the
AMP Capital Investment Committee.
Managed as prescribed by AMP Bank’s
Risk Appetite Statement and reported
to the AMP Bank Credit Risk Committee
(lending activities) and the AMP Bank
ALCO (management of liquidity).
Specific detail relating to credit risk
management of the AMP Bank loan
portfolio is outlined below.
The AMP Concentration and Credit Default Risk Policy sets out the assessment and determination of what constitutes credit concentration
risk. The policy sets exposure limits based on each counterparty’s credit rating (unless special considerations are defined). Additional
limits are set for the distribution of the total portfolio by credit rating bands. Compliance with this policy is monitored and exposures
and breaches are reported to portfolio managers, senior management and the AMP Board Risk Committee through periodic financial risk
management reports.

Impairment assessment
DEFINITION OF DEFAULT
AMP Bank considers a financial asset defaulted and hence Stage 3 impaired when payment is 90 days past due or when there is no longer
reasonable assurance that principal or interest will be collected in their entirety on a timely basis.
AMP BANK’S INTERNAL RISK GRADING AND PD ESTIMATION PROCESS
AMP Bank’s credit risk management department runs expected credit loss models for the residential mortgage book as well as the practice
finance loans.
–
–
The Bank’s residential mortgage book is a portfolio with a low number of defaults. In recent times, the Bank’s residential mortgage
book has grown significantly, and a larger history of default data has been captured.
This has enabled the Bank to successfully develop its internal behavioural scorecards which have been used to replace the benchmark
PDs in an endeavour to better risk rank order the portfolio by credit risk worthiness.
Internal risk grades for the residential mortgage book are as follows:
Internal credit rating grade
Internal credit rating grade description
Performing
Not in arrears in the past six months
Past due but not impaired
Accounts in arrears but have not been past 90 days in the last six months
Impaired
90 days past due over the last six months
–
For practice finance loans a Probability of Default risk grade model is applied that includes weighted risk factors such as Interest
Coverage Ratio, revenue growth, licence compliance rating, experience in business and arrears levels. Practices on watch-list are also
downgraded. Credit judgement may be applied to arrive at the final risk grade.
Internal risk grades for practice finance book are as follows:

Broadly corresponds with Standard & Poor ratings of
Senior Investment Grade
Investment Grade

AAA to A-
BBB+ to BBB-
BB+ up to but not including defaulted or impaired
EXPOSURE AT DEFAULT (EAD)
EAD is modelled by applying assumptions in relation to the amortisation of the loans based on scheduled principal and interest repayments
except for Stage 3 loans.
LOSS GIVEN DEFAULT (LGD)
For the residential mortgage portfolio the key driver for the LGD calculation is the value of the underlying property, as in a foreclosure
scenario the proceeds from the sale of a property are secured by the Bank to repay the loan. The value of the underlying residential property
is captured via the LVR which factors both changes in loan balance and estimated value of the collateral using market data and indices.
Both floor and haircuts are applied to provide for model risk.
For practice finance loans, the LGD is calculated via assumptions to the reduction in valuations of practices (being a multiple of their recurring
cash flows) in the event of default, such as client run-off or deterioration in valuation due to compliance issues. In addition, haircuts are applied
to cater for the volatility observed in the register values in the event of default but also general volatility in valuations over time.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The Bank’s ECL model incorporates a number of forward-looking macroeconomic factors (MEF) that are reviewed on a quarterly basis and
approved by the Credit Risk Committee (CRC). The MEF include unemployment, property prices, ASX Index and Cash Rate.
At least three different scenarios with fixed weightings are used in the model. The weightings are reviewed on an annual basis.
The ECL is calculated as the probability weighted average of the provision calculated for each economic scenario.
MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Management overlay is required to mitigate model risk and any systemic risk that is not recognised by the model.
The management overlays are reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently if required and presented to the CRC and Board Audit
Committee (BAC) for sign off.
WRITE-OFFS
Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Recovery actions
can cease if they are determined as being no longer cost effective or in some situations where the customers have filed for bankruptcy.
CREDIT RISK OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO IN AMP BANK (THE BANK)
The Bank is predominantly a lender for residential properties – both owner occupied and for investment. In every case the Bank completes
a credit assessment, which includes cost of living allowance and requires valuation of the proposed security property.
The Bank’s CRC and Board Risk Committee (BRC) oversee trends in lending exposures and compliance with the Risk Appetite Statement.
The Bank secures its housing loans with mortgages over relevant properties and as a result manages credit risk on its loans with conservative
lending policies and particular focus on the LVR. The LVR is calculated by dividing the total loan amount outstanding by the lower of the Bank’s
approved valuation amount or the purchase price. Loans with LVR greater than 80% are fully mortgage insured. Mortgage insurance is provided
by Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Ltd and QBE Lenders Mortgage Insurance Ltd who are both regulated by APRA. The Bank has strong
relationships with both insurers and experienced minimal levels of historic claim rejections and reductions.
The average LVR at origination of AMP Bank’s loan portfolio for existing and new business is set out in the following table:

RENEGOTIATED LOANS
Where possible, the Bank seeks to restructure loans for borrowers seeking hardship relief rather than take possession of collateral. This may
involve capitalising interest repayments for a period and increasing the repayment arrangement for the remaining term of the loan. Once
the terms has been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due or an impaired asset unless it was greater than 90 days in arrears
in the previous six months or a specific provision has been raised for the loan. The Bank assisted customers by renegotiating $239m
(2020: $2,391m) of loans during the year, of which $150m (2020: $2,263m) relates to hardship granted due to COVID-19, that otherwise
would be past due or impaired. Hardship assistance granted due to COVID-19 includes assistance in the form of repayment deferrals.
As at 31 December 2021, $128m of the total $150m hardship loans have exited the repayment deferral program and are considered to be
performing loans. The impact to the Consolidated income statement of loan modifications is not considered to be material.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
(c) Credit risk continued
COLLATERAL AND MASTER NETTING OR SIMILAR AGREEMENTS
The AMP group obtains collateral and utilises netting agreements to mitigate credit risk exposures from certain counterparties.
(i) Derivative financial assets and liabilities
The credit risk of derivatives is managed in the context of the AMP group’s overall credit risk policies and includes the use of Credit Support
Annexes to derivative agreements which facilitate the bilateral posting of collateral as well as the clearing of derivative positions on the
London Clearing House.
Certain derivative assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, such as an International Swaps
and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement. In certain circumstances, for example when a credit event such as a default
occurs, all outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net
amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.
An ISDA agreement does not automatically meet the criteria for offsetting in the Consolidated statement of financial position. This is because
the AMP group, in most cases, does not have any current legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts.
If these netting arrangements were applied to the derivative portfolio, the derivative assets of $334m would be reduced by $143m to the
net amount of $191m and derivative liabilities of $185m would be reduced by $143m to the net amount of $42m (2020: derivative assets
of $369m would be reduced by $160m to the net amount of $209m and derivative liabilities of $376m would be reduced by $160m to the
net amount of $216m).
(ii) Other collateral
The AMP group has collateral arrangements in place with some counterparties in addition to collateral deposits held with respect to repurchase
agreements. The amount and type of collateral required by AMP Bank on housing loans depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the
counterparty. Guidelines are in place covering the acceptability and valuation of each type of collateral.
AMP Bank holds collateral against its loans and advances primarily in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered
securities over assets and guarantees.
Management monitors the market value of collateral and will request additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement.
In the event of customer default, AMP Bank can enforce any security held as collateral against the outstanding claim. Any loan security
is usually held as mortgagee in possession while AMP Bank seeks to realise its value through the sale of property. Therefore, AMP Bank
does not hold any real estate or other assets acquired through the repossession of collateral.
Collateral generally consists of 11am loans and deposits and is exchanged between the counterparties to reduce the exposure from the
net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities between the counterparties. As at 31 December 2021 there was $108m (2020: $127m)
of collateral deposits (due to other counterparties) and $47m (2020: $203m) of collateral loans (due from other counterparties) relating
to derivative assets and liabilities.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
3.4 DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
The group is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. To mitigate the risks the group uses derivative financial
instruments such as cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps. When the group designates certain derivatives to be part of a hedging
relationship, and they meet the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedges are classified as:
–
–
–
cash flow hedges;
fair value hedges; or
net investment hedges.
Derivative financial instruments are held for risk and asset management purposes only and not for the purpose of speculation. Not all
derivatives held are designated as hedging instruments. The group’s risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk
is explained further in note 3.3.

Derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges
The group is exposed to variability in future interest cash flows on non-trading assets and liabilities which bear interest at fixed and variable
rates. The group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks and many of the swaps are cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
Methods used to test hedge effectiveness and establish the hedge ratio include regression analysis and for some portfolio hedge
relationships, a comparison to ensure the expected interest cash flows from the portfolio exceed those of the hedging instruments.
The main potential source of hedge ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges is mismatches in the terms of hedged items and hedging
instruments, for example the frequency and timing of when interest rates are reset.
During the year the AMP group recognised $nil (2020: $nil) due to ineffectiveness on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.
Derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges
Fair value hedges are used to protect against changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities due to movements in exchange
rates and interest rates.
Hedge effectiveness is assessed by comparing the overall changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in the
fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks. The main potential source of ineffectiveness on fair value hedges is currency
basis spread, which is included in the valuation of the hedging instrument, but excluded from the value of the hedged item.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
The group hedges its exposure to changes in exchange rates on the value of its foreign currency denominated seed pool investments.
Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the forward contract, primarily using the cumulative dollar
offset method.
The AMP group recognised $nil (2020: $nil) due to the ineffective portion of hedges relating to investments in seed pool foreign operations.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value exclusive of any transaction costs on the date a derivative contract
is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. All derivatives are recognised as assets when
their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from the change in fair value
of derivatives, except those that qualify as effective cash flow hedges, are immediately recognised in the Consolidated income statement.
Hedge accounting
AMP continues to apply the hedge accounting requirements under AASB 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recognised (including related tax impacts) in Other comprehensive
income. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. The balance of the cash flow hedge reserve
in relation to each particular hedge is transferred to the Consolidated income statement in the period when the hedged item affects profit
or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the
criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast
transaction is ultimately recognised in the Consolidated income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the
cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the Consolidated income statement.
Fair value hedges
Changes in the fair value of fair value hedges are recognised in the Consolidated income statement, together with any changes in the fair
value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
the cumulative gains and losses recognised on the hedged item will be amortised over the remaining life of the hedged item.
Net investment hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of net investment hedges is recognised (including related tax impacts) in Other comprehensive
income. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. The cumulative gain or loss existing in equity
remains in equity until the foreign investment is disposed of.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
3.5 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
AMP holds capital to protect customers, creditors and shareholders against unexpected losses. There are a number of ways AMP assesses
the adequacy of its capital position. Primarily, AMP aims to:
– maintain a sufficient surplus above minimum regulatory capital requirements (MRR) to reduce the risk of breaching MRR; and
– maintain the AMP group’s credit rating.
These factors are balanced when forming AMP’s risk appetite as approved by the AMP Limited Board.
Calculation of capital resources
The AMP group’s eligible capital resources include ordinary equity and certain hybrid capital instruments. Adjustments to these amounts
are made for intangibles, associate equity investments and other assets required to be removed by regulation.
The table below shows the AMP group’s capital resources at reporting date:
AMP statutory equity attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited
Accounting mismatch and other adjustments 1
AMP shareholder equity
Goodwill and other intangibles 2
Equity investments 3
Other regulatory adjustments 4

3.5 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
3.5 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
AMP holds capital to protect customers, creditors and shareholders against unexpected losses. There are a number of ways AMP assesses
Capital requirements
A number of the operating entities within the AMP group of companies are regulated and are required to meet minimum regulatory capital
requirements (MRR). In certain circumstances, APRA or other regulators may require AMP and other entities of the AMP group to hold
a greater level of capital to support its business and/or restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid by them. Any such adjustments
would be incorporated into the minimum regulatory requirements and monitored as part of the capital management policy.
The main minimum regulatory capital requirements for AMP’s businesses are:
Operating entity
AMP Bank Limited (AMP Bank)
N. M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited
Minimum regulatory capital requirement
Capital requirements as specified under the APRA ADI
Prudential Standards
Operational Risk Financial Requirements as specified under
the APRA Superannuation Prudential Standards
AMP Capital Investors Limited and other ASIC regulated businesses
Capital requirements under AFSL requirements
The AMP group maintains capital targets reflecting their material risks (including financial risk, product risk and operational risk) and
AMP’s risk appetite. The target capital requirement is a management guide to the level of excess capital that the AMP group seeks to carry
to reduce the risk of breaching MRR.
AMP Limited and AMP Bank have Board-approved minimum capital levels above APRA requirements, with additional capital targets held
above these amounts. Capital targets are also set for AMP Capital to cover risk associated with seed and sponsor capital investments and
operational risk. Other components of AMP group’s capital targets include amounts relating to Group Office investments, defined benefit
funds and other operational risks.
All of the AMP group regulated entities have at all times during the current and prior financial year complied with the externally imposed
capital requirements to which they are subject.

4.1 DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
AMP contributes to defined benefit plans which provide benefits to employees, and their dependants, on resignation, retirement, disability
or death of the employee. The benefits are based on years of service and an average salary calculation. All defined benefit plans are now
closed to new members.
The characteristics and risks associated with each of the defined benefit plans are described below:

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Defined benefit plans
The AMP group recognises the net deficit or surplus position of each fund in the Consolidated statement of financial position. The deficit
or surplus is measured as the difference between the fair value of the funds’ assets and the discounted defined benefit obligations of the
funds, using discount rates determined with reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds at the end of the reporting period.
After taking into account any contributions paid into the defined benefit funds during the period, movements in the net surplus or deficit
of each fund, except actuarial gains and losses, are recognised in the Consolidated income statement. Actuarial gains and losses arising
from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions over the period and the returns on plan assets are recognised
(net of tax) directly in retained earnings through Other comprehensive income.
Contributions paid into defined benefit funds are recognised as reductions in the deficit.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Defined benefit asset/liability
The value of the group’s defined benefit obligations are outputs of actuarial models dependent on a number of underlying
assumptions. Managed applies judgement in selecting the assumptions used. Key assumptions include:
–
–
–
discount rate;
expected future salary increases;
pension indexation;
– mortality; and
–
life expectancy.

1 Non-market performance rights which were forfeited or where performance conditions were not met were reversed during the year.
(a) Performance rights
The Executive KMP receive their long-term incentive (LTI) award in the form of performance rights. This is intended to ensure the interests of
those executives, who are able to most directly influence company performance, are appropriately aligned with the interests of shareholders.
Plan
Overview
LTI awards
Performance rights give the participant the right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP
Limited upon meeting specific performance hurdles. They are granted at no cost to the participant
and carry no dividend or voting rights until they vest. This award may be settled through an equivalent
cash payment, at the discretion of the board.
Vesting conditions
2019 LTI award (Transformation Incentive Award)
The vesting of the performance rights is subject to two separate gateways:
Risk and Conduct Gateway – if a participant’s performance and conduct is not in line with AMP’s
expectations, the board has discretion to amend the vesting outcome (including to zero).
Performance Gateway and Hurdle – a performance gateway is included so that no awards will vest
if both the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is negative AND the CAGR is below the benchmark
index*. For risk and control roles i.e. Chief Risk Officer – the vesting outcome in relation to 25% of the
award will be determined by the Remuneration Committee at its sole discretion. The other 75% of the
award will be subject to the performance hurdle.
In determining the comparator group, all entities other than those in the global industry classification
standard (GICS) energy sector and GICS metals and mining industry are classified as industrial companies.
* The benchmark index is constructed from an equal weighted index of ASX 100 financial services
companies (excluding A-REITs).

as at 30 July 2021. The comparator group may be adjusted by the Board to take into account corporate
actions, including but not limited to takeovers, mergers, de-mergers or de-listing. The percentage
of your Rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle which will be eligible to vest, if any, will be determined
by reference to the following schedule:

Valuation of performance rights
The values for performance rights are based on valuations prepared by an independent external consultant. The valuations are based on the
10-day volume weighted average share price over the 10-day trading period prior to the start of the award’s valuation period. Assumptions
regarding the dividend yield and volatility have been estimated based on AMP’s dividend yield and volatility over an appropriate period.
In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to reflect the number
of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the performance period, this is revisited each reporting date.
Valuations are prepared by an independent external consultant. The valuations are based on AMP’s closing share price at the valuation date.

LTI participants below the Executive KMP may be awarded share rights as part of their overall LTI award.
Short-term Incentive deferral participants are nominated executives and selected senior leaders who have the ability to impact
AMP’s financial soundness. This requires a portion of the participant’s annual short-term incentive outcome to be deferred and
awarded as share rights.
Transition Incentive awards were made to select participants in the form of share rights as a transitionary award between
remuneration arrangements and the finalisation of strategy.
Retention awards were made to selected senior leaders who are critical to on-going operations and the delivery of AMP’s strategy
during the portfolio review and the completion of any subsequent corporate transactions.
Enterprise Profit Share Plan supports AMP Capital’s remuneration framework by aligning its strategic intent and rewarding
behaviour that leads to sustainably increased profit and shareholder value. The participants are the AMP Capital Leadership
Team whereby a portion of their annual profit share outcome is deferred into share rights.
– Deferred Bonus Equity Plan applies to selected AMP Capital participants whereby a portion of their annual short-term incentive
outcome (above a specified threshold) is deferred into share rights.

Vested awards
Vested share rights are automatically converted to shares on behalf of the former CEO.
Unvested awards
Unvested awards are forfeited if the CEO voluntarily ceases employment or is dismissed for misconduct.
Valuation of share rights
The fair value of share rights has been calculated as at the grant date, by external consultants using a ‘discounted cash flow’ methodology.
Fair value has been discounted for the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period to which the participant
is not entitled. For the purposes of the valuation it is assumed share rights are exercised as soon as they have vested. Assumptions regarding
the dividend yield have been estimated based on AMP’s dividend yield over an appropriate period.
In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to reflect the number
of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the performance period.
For the current CEO’s share rights awards, the valuations are prepared by an independent external consultant. The valuations are based
on AMP’s closing share price at the valuation date. Assumptions regarding the dividend yield and volatility have been estimated based
on AMP’s dividend yield and volatility over an appropriate period.
The following table shows the factors which were considered in determining the independent fair value of the share rights granted during the period:

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS CONTINUED
(c) Restricted shares continued
Valuation of restricted shares
The restricted share awards are based on valuations prepared by an independent external consultant. The valuations are based on the
10-day volume weighted average share price over the 10-day trading period prior to the start of the award’s valuation period. Assumptions
regarding the dividend yield and volatility have been estimated based on AMP’s dividend yield and volatility over an appropriate period.
For the AMP Employee Share Plan $1,000 Tax Exempt Plan and $5,000 Salary Sacrifice Plan, the fair value of the shares was determined
as the market price of AMP ordinary shares on the grant date. As employees holding restricted shares are entitled to dividend payments,
no adjustment has been made to the fair value in respect of future dividend payments.
In determining the share-based payments expense for the period, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to reflect
the number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the vesting period.

Equity-settled share-based payments
The cost of equity-settled share-based payments is measured using their fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value
calculation takes into consideration a number of factors, including the likelihood of achieving market-based vesting conditions such as total
shareholder return (market conditions).
The cost of equity-settled share-based payments is recognised in the income statement, together with a corresponding increase in the
share-based payment reserve (SBP reserve) in equity, over the vesting period of the instrument. At each reporting date, the AMP group
reviews its estimates of the number of instruments that are expected to vest and any changes to the cost are recognised in the Income
statement and the SBP reserve, over the remaining vesting period.
Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based payment are modified and the expense increases as a result of the modification,
the increase is recognised over the remaining vesting period. When a modification reduces the expense, there is no adjustment and the
pre-modification cost continues to be recognised.
Where an equity-settled award does not ultimately vest, expenses are not reversed; except for awards where vesting is conditional upon
a non-market condition, in which case all expenses are reversed in the period in which the instrument lapses.
Cash-settled share-based payments
Cash settled share-based payments are recognised when the terms of the arrangement provide AMP group with the discretion to settle
in cash or by issuing equity instruments and it has a present obligation to settle the arrangement in cash. A present obligation may occur
where the past practice has set a precedence for future settlements in cash.
Cash settled share-based payments are recognised, over the vesting period of the award, in the Income statement, together with
a corresponding liability. The fair value is measured on initial recognition and re-measured at each reporting date up to and including
the settlement date, with any changes in fair value recognised in the Income statement. Similar to equity-settled awards, number
of instruments expected to vest are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes are recognised in the Income statement and
corresponding liability. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Investments in associates
INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD
Investments in entities over which the AMP group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using
the equity method of accounting. The investment is measured at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the AMP group’s share of the
associates’ net assets, less any impairment in value. The AMP group’s share of profit or loss of associates is included in the Consolidated
income statement. Any dividend or distribution received from associates is accounted for as a reduction in carrying value of the associate.
Any impairment is recognised in the Consolidated income statement when there is objective evidence a loss has been incurred. It is measured
as the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment in entities exceeds the recoverable amount.

5.4 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
5.4 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES CONTINUED
(b) Transactions with related parties
Transactions with non-executive directors
Some of the non-executive directors hold directorships or positions in other companies or organisations. AMP may provide or receive
services from these companies or organisations negotiated based on arm’s length terms. None of the non-executive directors were, or are,
involved in any procurement or board decision making regarding the companies or organisations with which they have an association.
Transactions with Resolution Life Australasia
Transactions during the period involve activities in conjunction with the sale of the WP and mature businesses to Resolution Life
Australasia. To facilitate the transition of these businesses to new ownership, the group provides operational services under a Transitional
Services Agreement (TSA). Fees charged under the TSA are in accordance with negotiated terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s
length transactions.
The group also provides Resolution Life Australasia with investment management and advice-related services in the normal course of business.
Resolution Life Australasia currently has funds on deposit with AMP Bank for which interest expense has been incurred and accrued for
by the group.
Transactions with other associates
The group provides investment management and banking services under general service level agreements with other associates as well
as support to financial advice practices.
Dividends were received from associates.
Transactions with investment entities
In conjunction with the establishment of new investment funds managed by AMP Capital or other group associates, the group, from time
to time, invests seed and sponsor capital. The structure of the fund or the group’s level of ownership may result in the fund being treated
as an associate of the group. See note 5.2 for details of the group’s associates. Management fees are earned by AMP or its associates for
managing and administering these investment funds.
All transactions between the group, its associates and the funds are on an arm’s length basis.
ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Short-term benefits – Liabilities arising in respect of salaries and wages and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within
12 months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts.
Post-employment benefits – Defined contribution funds – The contributions paid and payable by the AMP group to defined contributions
funds are recognised in the Consolidated income statement as an operating expense when they fall due. Prepaid contributions are
recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Share-based payments – Refer to note 4.2.
Other long-term benefits – Other employee entitlements are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made
in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, discount rates
are determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds or, in countries where there
is no deep market in such bonds, by using market yields at the end of the period on government bonds.

periods to maturity, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within Interest-bearing liabilities in the Consolidated
statement of financial position.

6.2 COMMITMENTS
(a) Commitments for leases not yet commenced
The future lease payments for which the group is committed but the leases have not yet commenced as at 31 December 2021 are $734m
(2020: $735m). Lease commitments do not include non-lease components per AMP’s accounting policy based on AASB 16 Leases.
(b) Buy-back arrangements
Historically, AMP has had contractual arrangements with financial advice businesses in AMP’s aligned advice network to purchase
their client registers at agreed multiples to revenue subject to certain conditions being met. These buy-back arrangements included
arrangements known as Buyer of Last Resort (BOLR). Advice businesses must register their intention to invoke buy-back arrangements,
which have six to 18-month lead times and are subject to audit prior to finalising the purchase price. On 26 July 2021, as part of the new
Licensee commercial terms, AMP announced the conclusion of these client register buy-back arrangements, with eligible practices able to
register their intention to invoke buy-back arrangements through 31 December 2021. The pipeline of buy-back arrangements where an
intention to invoke has been registered by 31 December 2021 is $42m (2020: $89m), all of which relates to arrangements expected to settle
in the next 18 months. The commitment value reflects the unaudited value as advised by the advice businesses. AMP’s experience is that
the ultimate purchase price after audit is typically less than the initially advised value and not all of the buy-back progress to completion.
Over the 12 months ended 31 December 2021, $54m was paid for executed buy-back arrangements. Where a notice of intention to invoke
the buy-back arrangement has been received by 31 December 2021 and AMP has concluded that the purchase price of the register exceeds
the value of the client register to AMP, or where ongoing service arrangements would be unable to be serviced or sold, a provision has been
raised for the difference. Refer to note 6.4 for further details.

periods to maturity, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within Interest-bearing liabilities in the Consolidated
statement of financial position.

The AMP group paid $4m (2020: $8m) in relation to short-term leases and $nil (2020: $1m) in relation to variable lease payments. The total
cash outflow for leases in 2021 was $60m (2020: $63m).
ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
At inception, the AMP group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. Such assessment involves the application of judgement
as to whether:
–
–
–
the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
the group obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the asset; and
the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
It is AMP’s policy to separate non-lease components when recognising the lease liability.
The group recognises a Right of Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured
as the present value of future lease payments, plus initial direct costs and restoration costs of the underlying asset, less any lease incentives
received. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is tested
for impairment if there is an indicator, and is adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted using the group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments generally include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index, eg CPI. A lease liability is remeasured
when there is a change in future lease payments from a change in an index, or if the group’s assessment of whether an option will be
exercised changes.
Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised within finance costs in the Consolidated income statement.
The group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases where the lease term is less than or equal to 12 months.
Payments for such leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The group recognises lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets for all leases where the group is a lessee, except for
short term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value. Management applies judgement in identifying and
measuring lease liabilities and assessing impairment indicators for ROU assets which includes:
–
–
–
–
–
assessing whether a contract contains a lease;
determining lease term and incremental borrowing rate;
separating lease and non-lease components;
assessing lease modification vis-a-vis new lease;
assessing the usage of ROU assets and the associated benefits.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING POLICY – RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when:
–
–
–
the AMP group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The group recognises a provision where a legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date and a reliable
estimate can be made of the likely outcome. Provisions are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted for management’s
best estimates, however significant judgement is required to estimate likely outcomes and future cash flows.
The judgemental nature of these items means that future amounts settled may be different from those provided for.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation
at the reporting date. For provisions other than employee entitlements, the discount rate used to determine the present value reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
A contingent liability is disclosed where a legal or constructive obligation is possible, but not probable; or where the obligation is probable,
but the financial impact of the event is unable to be reliably estimated.
From time to time, the AMP group may incur obligations or suffer financial loss arising from litigation or contracts entered into in the
normal course of business, including guarantees issued by the parent for performance obligations of controlled entities in the AMP group.
Legal proceedings threatened against AMP may also, if filed, result in AMP incurring obligations or suffering financial loss. A contingent
liability exists in relation to actual and likely potential legal proceedings.
Where it is determined that the disclosure of information in relation to a contingent liability can be expected to seriously prejudice the
position of the AMP group (or its insurers) in a dispute, accounting standards allow the AMP group not to disclose such information.
It is the AMP group’s policy that such information is not disclosed in this note.
Industry and regulatory compliance investigations
AMP is subject to review from time to time by regulators, both in Australia and offshore. In Australia, AMP’s principal regulators are
APRA, ASIC and AUSTRAC, although other government agencies may have jurisdiction depending on the circumstances. The reviews and
investigations conducted by regulators may be industry-wide or specific to AMP and the outcomes of those reviews and investigations can
vary and may lead to the imposition of penalties, for example, variations or restrictions to licences, the compensation of clients, enforceable
undertakings or recommendations and directions for AMP to enhance its control framework, governance and systems.
AMP also performs internal investigations to determine, amongst other things, where clients or other stakeholders, including employees,
may have been disadvantaged. In some instances, compensation has been paid and where the results of our reviews have reached the
point that compensation is likely and can be reliably estimated then a provision has been raised.
Client remediation
Since 2018 AMP has been actively engaged in a large-scale customer review and remediation program. This program was established
to identify and compensate clients who have suffered loss or detriment as a result of either:
–
inappropriate advice from their adviser; or
– where clients have been charged an advice service fee without the provision of financial advice services (or insufficient evidence
of the provision of financial advice services).
AMP has completed the review of all in scope customers and the majority of remediation payments have been made to date with
a remaining $60m provision held at 31 December 2021. Remaining payments are targeted to complete in the first half of 2022.
Provisions for client remediation do not include amounts for potential recoveries from advisers and insurers.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CONTINUED
OTHER MATTERS
In addition to the inappropriate advice and advice service fee reviews mentioned above, other reviews, as part of ongoing monitoring
and supervision activities, have been performed. These reviews are ongoing and where the reviews have identified instances of clients
having suffered loss or detriment, compensation has been paid. As at 31 December 2021, provisions and project costs of $27m have been
recognised for the estimated compensation due to clients, including lost earnings for these matters. These provisions are judgemental and
the actual compensation to clients could vary from the amounts provided.
Buy-back arrangement
Historically, AMP has had contractual arrangements with financial advice businesses in AMP’s aligned advice network to purchase
their client registers at agreed multiples to revenue subject to certain conditions being met. These buy-back arrangements included
arrangements known as Buyer of Last Resort (BOLR). On 26 July 2021, as part of the new Licensee commercial terms, AMP announced
the conclusion of these client register buy-back arrangements, with eligible practices able to register their intention to invoke buy-back
arrangements on or before 31 December 2021. Where a notice of intention to invoke the buy-back arrangement has been received and
AMP has concluded that the purchase price of the register exceeds the value of the client register to AMP, or where ongoing service
arrangements would be unable to be serviced or sold, a provision has been raised for the difference. The provision is judgemental and the
actual resulting loss incurred upon settlement of the arrangements may vary from the provision.
Contingent liabilities for future buy-backs, where no notification was received on or before 31 December 2021, no longer remain following
the cessation of the buy-back arrangements.
Litigation
SHAREHOLDER CLASS ACTIONS
During May and June 2018, AMP Limited was served with five competing shareholder class actions, one filed in the Supreme Court of NSW
and the others filed in the Federal Court of Australia. The actions follow the financial advice hearing block in the Royal Commission in April
2018 and allege breaches by AMP Limited of its continuous disclosure obligations. Each action is on behalf of shareholders who acquired
an interest in AMP Limited shares over a specified time period. Subsequently, the four proceedings commenced in the Federal Court of
Australia were transferred to the Supreme Court of NSW. The Supreme Court of NSW determined that a consolidated class action (of two
of the class actions) should continue, and the other three proceedings were permanently stayed. Following various appeals (including to the
High Court of Australia), the consolidated class action continues. AMP Limited has filed its defence to the proceedings. The claims are yet
to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of these claims,
if any, upon AMP. AMP Limited is defending these actions.
SUPERANNUATION CLASS ACTIONS
During May and June 2019, certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited (NM Super), AMP
Superannuation Limited (AMP Super), NMMT Limited and AMP Services Limited (AMP Services), were served with two class actions in
the Federal Court of Australia. The first of those class actions relates to the fees charged to members of certain of AMP superannuation
funds. The second of those actions relates to the fees charged to members, and interest rates received and fees charged on cash-only
fund options. The two proceedings were brought on behalf of certain superannuation clients and their beneficiaries. Subsequently, the
Federal Court ordered that the two proceedings be consolidated into one class action. The AMP respondents have filed defences to the
proceedings. The claims are yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. Currently, it is not possible to determine the
ultimate impact of these claims, if any, upon AMP. The proceedings are being defended.
FINANCIAL ADVISER CLASS ACTION
In July 2020, a subsidiary of AMP Limited, namely, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited (AMPFP), was served with a class action in the Federal
Court of Australia. The proceeding is brought on behalf of certain financial advisers who are or have been authorised by AMPFP. The claim
relates to changes made by AMPFP to its Buyer of Last Resort policy in 2019. The claim is yet to be quantified and participation has not been
determined. Currently it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, upon AMP. AMPFP has filed its defence to the
proceedings, and AMPFP is confident in the actions it took in 2019 and is defending the proceeding accordingly.
COMMISSIONS FOR ADVICE AND INSURANCE ADVICE CLASS ACTION
In July 2020, certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP and Hillross Financial Services Limited (Hillross) were served with a class
action in the Federal Court of Australia. The class action related to advice provided by some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain
life and other insurance products. Subsequently, in August 2020, AMP Limited, and certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP,
Hillross and Charter Financial Planning Limited (Charter), were served with a class action in the Federal Court of Australia. The class action
primarily related to the payment of commissions to some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain life insurance and other products
and in respect of allegations of charging of fees where advice services were not provided. In December 2020, the Federal Court ordered that
these two class actions be consolidated. The AMP respondents have filed a defence to the proceedings. The claim is yet to be quantified
and participation has not been determined. Currently, it is not possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim, if any, upon AMP.
The proceedings are being defended.

PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CONTINUED
ASIC CIVIL PENALTY PROCEEDINGS IN RESPECT OF DECEASED CUSTOMERS
Certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP, NM Super, AMP Super and AMP Services, are the subject of proceedings brought
by ASIC on 26 May 2021. The proceedings allege contraventions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth) (ASIC Act) relating to the alleged charging and retention of insurance premiums and
advice service fees following the death of members of superannuation funds in the period between 26 May 2015 and 31 August 2019.
ASIC’s claim is in respect of 2,069 deceased members affected by the retention of premiums, and 27 deceased members affected by the
retention of advice fees. AMP has completed remediation for customers identified as being affected by such instances.
ASIC is seeking declarations of contraventions of various sections of the Corporations Act and ASIC Act and orders for the payment
of pecuniary penalties and other consequential orders. The AMP respondents have filed a defence to the proceedings. Currently, it is not
possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim upon AMP.
ASIC CIVIL PENALTY PROCEEDINGS IN RESPECT OF PLAN SERVICE FEES
Certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, AMPFP, Hillross, Charter, AMP Super and AMP Services, are the subject of proceedings brought
by ASIC on 29 July 2021. The proceedings allege contraventions of the Corporations Act and the ASIC Act relating to the alleged charging
and retention of plan service fees following members of superannuation funds delinking from their corporate super plan into a retail
account in the period between 31 July 2015 and 30 June 2019. ASIC’s claim is in respect of around 1500 members affected by the retention
of plan service fees. AMP has completed remediation for customers identified as being affected by such instances.
ASIC is seeking declarations of contraventions of various sections of the Corporations Act and ASIC Act and orders for the payment
of pecuniary penalties and other consequential orders. The AMP respondents have filed a defence to the proceedings. Currently, it is not
possible to determine the ultimate impact of this claim upon AMP.
ADDRESSING HISTORICAL MATTERS THROUGH REGULATOR ACTIONS
AMP has been working through a number of historical matters raised at the Royal Commission and elsewhere, and since 2018, has been taking
action to strengthen controls, accountability and processes, improve compliance and risk management, and remediate impacted customers.
In 2021, AMP’s Superannuation Trustees (AMP Superannuation Limited and N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited) entered into
an enforceable undertaking (EU) with APRA for historical matters in the Superannuation business. APRA has acknowledged that AMP has
addressed and completed remediation for several matters, and at the completion of this EU, AMP envisages that all outstanding matters
referred to APRA by the Financial Services Royal Commission will be concluded.
INDEMNITIES AND WARRANTIES TO RESOLUTION LIFE
Under the terms of the sale agreement for the sale of the wealth protection and mature businesses to Resolution Life Australia Pty
Ltd (Resolution Life), AMP has given certain covenants, warranties and indemnities in favour of Resolution Life in connection with the
transaction. A breach of these covenants or warranties, or the triggering of an indemnity, may result in AMP being liable for some future
payments to Resolution Life. Management’s best estimate of future payments for these indemnities and warranties has been recognised
within these financial statements where they can be reliably estimated. There remain other indemnities and warranties for which no
provision has been recognised and a contingent liability exists should such indemnities and warranties be called upon or where actual
outcomes differ from management’s expectations.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
6.6 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
(a) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the AMP group
A number of new accounting standards amendments have been adopted effective 1 January 2021. These have not had a material effect
on the financial position or performance of the AMP group other than as described below.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
Transition from Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs), primarily but not exclusively the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), to Alternative
Reference Rates (ARR) has been an area of ongoing industry focus with regulators signalling the need to use alternative benchmark rates.
A number of benchmark rates have been discontinued requiring transition to alternate benchmarks across a broad array of financial
products, including any IBOR-based securities, loans and other financial products. AMP has successfully completed its IBOR transition
activities during the year ended 31 December 2021.
Key activity included:
–
transitioning impacted financial contracts utilising International Swaps and Derivative Association fall back protocols and via bilateral
re-negotiation,
– monitoring local and international regulatory guidance for the transition from IBORs to Risk Free Rate benchmarks,
–
engaging with regulators on the group’s transition plans and contributing to industry wide forums, and
– working closely with industry bodies to understand and manage the risks and impacts of transition on our businesses.
The most significant interest rate benchmark to which the group is exposed is the Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW). As a result, the IBOR reforms,
in conjunction with the practical expedients provided for in the applicable accounting standards, have had an insignificant financial impact
on the group. Presently, there are no indications that regulators of jurisdictions in which the group operates intend to discontinue the use
of BBSW in the way that the Financial Conduct Authority discontinued the use of LIBOR.
(b) New accounting standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards and amendments have been issued but are not yet effective, none of which have been early adopted
by the AMP group in this financial report. These new standards and amendments, when applied in future periods, are not expected to have
a material impact on the financial position or performance of the AMP group.
6.7
EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER REPORTING DATE
As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year
that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
–
–
–
the AMP group’s operation in future years;
the results of those operations in future years; or
the AMP group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

In accordance with a resolution of the directors of AMP Limited, for the purposes of section 295(4) of the Corporations Act 2001, the
directors declare that:
(a) in the opinion of the directors there are reasonable grounds to believe that AMP Limited will be able to pay its debts as and when
they become due and payable;
(b) in the opinion of the directors the financial statements and the notes of AMP Limited and the consolidated entity for the financial
year ended 31 December 2021 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including section 296 (compliance with accounting
standards) and section 297 (true and fair view);

include an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards; and

Report on the Financial Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial report of AMP Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group or AMP), which comprises
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended;
notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies; and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the
accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
a. giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021 and of their financial
performance for the year ended on that date; and
b. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for qualified opinion
The Company’s investment in China Life Pension Company (CLPC), a foreign associate accounted for using the equity method, is carried
at $416 million on the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021. The Company’s share of CLPC’s post-tax
net income of $52 million is included in the Company’s income for the year then ended. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate
evidence about the Company’s share of CLPC’s net income for the year and consequently the carrying amount of the Company’s investment
in CLPC as at 31 December 2021 to the extent this share of net income is included in the carrying amount, because the financial statements
of CLPC are still in the process of being audited by CLPC’s auditor at the date of this report. Whilst we have been able to perform limited
procedures on the equity accounted results of CLPC, in the absence of the completed audit we were unable to determine whether any
adjustments to these amounts were necessary.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described
in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance
with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional
and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are
relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report
of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion,
we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. For each matter below,
our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report,
including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

CREDIT PROVISIONS
Financial report reference: Section 2.1: Loans and advances, Section 3.3 Financial Risk Management
Why significant
How our audit addressed the matter
As disclosed in section 2.1 of the financial report, the Group
has loans and advances as at 31 December 2021, against which
provisions for expected credit losses are required to be booked
in accordance with Australian Accounting standards.
This was a key audit matter due to the value of the provisions,
and the degree of judgment and estimation uncertainty
associated with the provision calculation.
Our audit procedures included the following:
– We assessed the alignment of the Group’s expected credit
loss model and its underlying methodology against the
requirements of AASB 9, with consideration of the ongoing
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
– We assessed the following for exposures evaluated on
a collective basis and associated overlays:
Key areas of judgment included:
–
–
–
–
the application of the impairment requirements of AASB 9
Financial Instruments within the Group’s expected credit
loss methodology;
the identification of exposures with a significant deterioration
in credit risk;
assumptions used in the expected credit loss model (for
exposures assessed on an individual or collective basis); and
the incorporation of forward-looking information to reflect
current and anticipated future external factors, including
economic scenarios adopted and the probability weighting
determined for each scenario.
–
–
significant modelling and forward-looking
macroeconomic assumptions;
the basis for and data used to determine the provision
as at 31 December 2021; and
– We involved our actuarial specialists to test the
mathematical accuracy of the model and to benchmark
key assumptions.
– We examined a sample of exposures assessed on an
individual basis by:
–
–
assessing the reasonableness and timeliness of internal
credit quality assessments based on the borrowers’
particular circumstances; and
evaluating the associated provisions by assessing the
reasonableness of key inputs into the calculation, with
particular focus on collateral values, work out strategies
and the value and timing of recoveries.
– We considered the associated financial report disclosures.

PROVISIONS, AMORTISATION & CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Financial report reference: Section 2.3 Intangibles, 6.3 Right of use assets and lease liabilities, 6.4 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Why significant
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures included the following:
– We held discussions with management, reviewed Board
of Directors and Board committee minutes, reviewed
correspondence with regulators and attended Board Audit
Committee and Board Risk and Compliance Committee
meetings to understand key regulatory, compliance and
legal matters.
– We assessed the Group’s key assumptions used to determine
provisions or accelerated amortisation, which included
benchmarking vacancy periods and rental estimates and the
assessment of the reasonableness of useful lives.
–
For those matters where the Group determined that either
a present obligation as a result of a past event does not exist,
or where a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation cannot be made and for which no provisions have
been recognised, we assessed the basis for the conclusions.
– We considered the disclosures within the financial report
related to these provisions and contingent liability disclosure.
As disclosed in section 2.3, 6.3 and 6.4, the Group has recorded
provisions, amortisation and disclosed contingent liabilities as follows:
–
–
–
–
provisions for client remediation and compliance matters;
accelerated amortisation of intangible assets;
provisions for onerous lease contracts; and
contingent liability disclosures in relation to existing
class actions, ASIC civil penalty proceedings, industry
and regulatory matters and indemnities and warranties
to Resolution Life.
This was considered a key audit matter due to the judgment
required to determine the reasonable estimates.
Key areas of judgment included:
–
the decision as to whether to recognise a provision and/or
disclose a contingent liability, including whether there is
a present obligation as a result of past events and whether
sufficient information existed to allow a provision to be
reliably measured; and
–
key assumptions used to determine provisions or amortisation
acceleration, including:
–
–
–
the estimates of compensation amounts and costs
required to complete the remediation programs;
the useful life and future economic benefits associated
with intangible assets; and
vacancy periods, sub-lease rental estimates increase for
onerous lease provisions.

As presented in the consolidated statement of financial position
and Section 1.4 of the financial report, the Group has significant
tax balances as at 31 December 2021, being a current tax asset
of $221 million, a current tax liability of $67 million, a deferred tax
asset of $655 million, and a deferred tax liability of $136 million.
Due to the complexity and high level of judgment required in the
following areas, we considered this to be a key audit matter:
–
–
–
The tax consequences of recent changes to the entities within
the AMP Limited tax consolidated group;
Estimating future taxable income and assessing the
recoverability of tax losses and other deferred tax assets
in future years; and
The adequacy of provisioning and assessing the recoverability
of current tax.
Our audit procedures included the following:
– We involved our tax specialists to assess the application of tax
laws and regulations in the determination of the Group’s tax
balances, including the Group’s assessment of the impact of
entities leaving and joining the tax consolidated group on the
determination of tax balances.
– We examined the Group’s deferred tax asset recoverability
assessment and evaluated the reasonableness of key
assumptions, including:
–
–
analysing the Group’s growth and other key assumptions
and reviewing tax adjustments made to the Group’s profit
forecasts to determine future taxable income; and
reviewing and assessing the Group’s analysis to determine
the period over which deferred tax assets attributable
to tax losses are forecast to be utilised.
– We considered management’s assessment of the
recoverability of current tax assets including the underlying
tax principles applied and management forecasts.
– We considered the associated financial report disclosures.

The Group’s operations and financial reporting processes
are primarily reliant on IT systems for the processing and
recording of a high volume of transactions.
– We focused our audit procedures on those systems and
controls that are significant to the Group’s financial
reporting process.
The group-wide IT environment is complex in terms of
the scale and nature of IT systems relied upon. IT General
Controls (ITGCs) support the continuous operation of the
automated and other IT dependent controls within the
business processes related to financial reporting. Effective
ITGCs are needed to ensure that IT applications process
business data as expected and that changes are made
in an appropriate manner.
The possibility of IT application users gaining access privileges
beyond those necessary to perform their assigned duties
may result in breaches in segregation of duties, including
inappropriate manual intervention, unauthorised changes
to systems, data or programmes.
– We involved our IT specialists, as audit procedures over
IT systems and controls require specific expertise.
– We assessed the design and tested the operating
effectiveness of the Group’s IT controls, including those
related to user access, change management, IT operations
and data integrity.
– Where we identified design or operating deficiencies in the IT
control environment, we performed additional procedures to:
–
–
Assess the integrity and reliability of the systems and
data related to financial reporting; and
Assess alternative controls that were not reliant on the
IT control environment.

Independent auditor’s report
to the Shareholders of AMP Limited
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s
2021 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report (including the
remuneration report) that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the
remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend
to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
–
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
– Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
–
–
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
to cease to continue as a going concern.
–
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
– Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group
to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial
report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s
2021 Annual Report other than the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. We obtained the Directors’ Report (including the
remuneration report) that is to be included in the Annual Report, prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and we expect to obtain the
remaining sections of the Annual Report after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend
to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
–
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
– Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
–
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by the directors.
–
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
to cease to continue as a going concern.
–
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
– Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group
to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where
applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial
report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
