ANZ IS ExECUTINg A FOCUSED STRATEgy  
TO bUILD THE bEST CONNECTED, MOST RESPECTED 
bANk ACROSS THE ASIA PACIFIC REgION

WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE OPERATE

ANZ’s history of expansion and growth stretches over 175 years. We have a strong franchise 
in Retail, Commercial and Institutional banking in our home markets of Australia and 
New Zealand and we have been operating in Asia Pacific for more than 30 years.

Today, ANZ operates in 33 countries globally. We are the third largest bank in Australia, the 
largest banking group in New Zealand and the Pacific, and among the top 20 banks in the world.

Our strategy is based on the belief that the future of our 
home markets of Australia and New Zealand are increasingly 
linked to the fast growing region of Asia through trade, 
capital and wealth flows. We also believe that people want a 
bank that understands their specific needs, and increasingly 
can meet these needs in more than one market through a 
variety of means. 

Our Institutional business in Asia is growing quickly, focused 
on the fast-growing cross-border trade and capital flows, with 
particular emphasis on regional treasury centres like Hong Kong 
and Singapore, and products like Cash Management, Trade, 
Foreign Exchange and Debt Capital Markets. Returns in our 
Asian retail business are improving, with a focus on productivity 
and building our brand across the region.

By building a ‘super-regional’ bank, ANZ can better serve our 
customers and achieve superior financial returns over the 
longer term.

ANZ’s aspiration is to have 25 to 30% of ANZ Group profit after 
tax (including network revenues) sourced from Asia Pacific, 
Europe and America, by 2017. ANZ has made good progress 
towards this goal. 

Achievements and progress during 2013

In 2013, management continued to focus on balancing the 
need for investment to meet the needs of our customers and 
drive longer-term growth, and the need to generate attractive 
returns for our shareholders in the near-term.

We are building stronger positions in our home markets of 
Australia and New Zealand, led by solid market share gains 
in Australian Retail and Commercial, emerging productivity 
benefits from our program of simplification in New Zealand, 
and improved penetration of Wealth products into our existing 
customer base.

Our operations strategy is delivering economies of scale, speed to 
market and a stronger control environment, resulting in lower unit 
costs, better quality and lower risk. More generally, our business 
risk profile improved, with a continuing shift to investment-grade 
clients and shorter tenor Trade Finance, and greater earnings 
diversification across products and geographies.

Finally, we focused on strengthening management depth 
and the alignment between business, operations, support 
and technology.

We are committed to delivering above-peer earnings growth 
with strong capital and expense disciplines, targeting further 
productivity improvements over the next three years while 
increasing return on equity from current levels.

This will be achieved by strengthening our position in Australia 
and New Zealand, growing in Asia and sharing common 
technology, processes, products and services that are designed 
with our customers in mind.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013Chairman’s report 
a message from John morsChel

i am pleased to report that anZ’s statutory profit after tax for the 2013 finanCial year 
was $6.3 billion up 11%. this is a strong performanCe, the result of a distinC tive long-term 
strategy foCused on growth in our domestiC  franChises in australia, new Zealand and 
the paCifiC, and targeted expansion in asia.

The final dividend of 91 cents brings the total dividend for the year 
to 164 cents per share fully franked, an increase of 13%. This will see 
us pay out $4.5 billion to shareholders, largely retail shareholders and 
superannuation funds.

ANZ is also delivering for shareholders over the medium term. 
Our total shareholder return for the past five years was 121%. 
This compares to 110% for the S&P/ASX 200 Banks Accumulation 
Index and 13% for the S&P/ASX200 Index as a whole.

We continue to operate from a strong financial position. ANZ is 
one of the best capitalised banks in the world with an increasingly 
high‑quality balance sheet. A measure of this financial strength is that 
ANZ remains one of a small number of banks with a AA credit rating 
from all three ratings agencies.

Delivering our Strategy 

There continue to be significant growth opportunities for ANZ in our 
home markets of Australia and New Zealand.

At the same time, Asia is now the key driver of global economic 
growth and the key driver of Australia and New Zealand’s growth. 
Our strategy involves a focus on profitable expansion in Asia through 
an integrated network connecting customers with faster growing 
trade, capital and wealth flows into and across the region. ANZ is the 
only Australian bank positioned to fully benefit from Asia’s growth.

The growth of our business in Australia, New Zealand and Asia 
Pacific is being supported by an enterprise approach to building the 
business on common platforms and processes to reduce unit costs, 
complexity and risk, and to improve our customers experience.

ANZ’s performance and the progress we made in delivering our 
strategy in 2013 are detailed in this Annual Report.

Board Changes

During the year, we completed a board transition with two directors, 
David Meiklejohn and Greg Clark, due to retire at the 2013 Annual 
General Meeting. Paula Dwyer joined the board in 2012 as part of a 
succession plan for David Meiklejohn and this year Graeme Liebelt 
joined to succeed Greg Clark. Graeme was previously Chief Executive 
Officer at Orica, a leading global mining services company. On behalf 
of shareholders I would like to express our thanks to David and Greg 
for their enormous contribution to the Board over the past nine years.

Outlook

As we enter the 2014 financial year, the major economies in the 
United States, Europe and Japan are gradually strengthening. 
In emerging Asia growth rates are expected to remain above those 
in the major developed economies. China is well positioned with 
growth expected to be around 7.5% in 2014.

However, there continues to be volatility in global markets. In recent 
months this has been seen in response to an expectation that the 
US will begin to tighten monetary policy and the political impasse 
over the US fiscal position.

Australia and New Zealand remain in a strong position with 
improving consumer and business confidence and strong trade 
and investment links with Asia. The Australian and New Zealand 
economies are expected to expand by around 2.5% in 2014. 

ANZ’s super regional strategy means we are well‑placed to benefit 
from the resilience of our home markets and the growth in Asia. 
Together with the expense and capital management disciplines 
we have in place, it means we are positioned to continue to deliver 
growth and performance to our shareholders in 2014.

Notably, ANZ was again assessed the global banking sector leader in 
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. This is the sixth year in the past 
seven that we have received this assessment. Building sustainability 
into the way we do business supports delivery of our strategy.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication 
of our management and staff who achieved so much in 2013. 
I would also like to express my thanks to my fellow Directors for 
their commitment and support during the year.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

CHIEF ExECUTIvE  OFFICER’S REPORT 
A MESSAgE FROM MICHAEL SMITH

ANZ DELIvERED  A STRONg, HIgH  qUALIT y PERFORMANCE IN 2013 DEMONSTRATINg THAT OUR 
SUPER REgIONAL  STRATEgy IS  CREATINg A  bETTER bANk FOR  CUSTOMERS AND A bETTER bANk FOR  
SHAREHOLDERS. TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN IN 2013 WAS 32%.

Some highlights include the market share growth we achieved in 
key customer segments, particularly in Australia and Asia. Good 
progress was made with our focus on productivity which saw a 
further improvement in the cost-to-income ratio. We also invested 
$1.3 billion in Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific to produce 
growth and returns for the longer-term.

Divisional Performance1

Looking at our Divisional performance, we continued to grow the 
already large franchises we have in our home markets of Australia and 
New Zealand.

In the Australia Division profit was up 11% with the strongest overall 
growth of the major Australian banks across home lending, deposits 
and credit cards. 

We also gained market share in commercial banking. Customer 
acquisition and loyalty is being driven through new digital 
applications such as ANZ goMoneyTM, Australia’s most popular 
banking app with one million active users.

In the New Zealand Division (NZD) profit was up 29% reflecting 
progress in simplifying the business, improving productivity and 
building share in core markets. The result also saw a significant 
improvement in provisions.

In the Global Wealth Division we are focused on cross-sell, 
simplification and digital innovation. Cash profit was up 36% with 
a highlight being an 11% increase in Wealth solutions held by 
ANZ customers.

We also continued our profitable expansion in Asia through an 
integrated network that connects customers with faster growing 
regional capital, trade and wealth flows. Our International and 
Institutional Banking Division (IIB) grew profit 15%, and Institutional 
Asia grew profit 28% driven by strong performances in Trade, Markets 
and Cash Management. 

ANZ’s balance sheet strengthened in 2013 supported by management 
actions to create more diversity by product, by customer and by 
geography; and to provide greater quality and predictability through 
more exposure to investment grade and multi-national customers.

Significant progress was made with our operations and technology 
strategy. The outcome was lower unit costs, better management of 
risk through standardisation, and stronger enterprise standards and 
controls. Notably, in 2013 we absorbed business volume increases of 
up to 12% while reducing operations expenses by 10%.

Corporate Sustainability

In 2013 we also made progress with our approach to Corporate 
Sustainability. By building sustainability into our business we can 
ensure that we achieve the greatest benefits for our customers, 
shareholders, people and communities. We have three areas of 
particular focus:
 } Sustainable development. Integrating social and environmental 

considerations into our business decisions, products and services 
to help our customers achieve their sustainability ambitions and 
deliver long term value for all our stakeholders.

 } Diversity and inclusion. Building the most diverse and inclusive 
workforce of any major bank in our region to help us innovate, 
identify new markets, connect with customers and make better, 
more informed decisions.

 } Financial inclusion and capability. Building the financial capability 
of people across our region to promote financial inclusion and 
progression of individuals and communities.

Building on our Momentum

Our super regional strategy is a long term strategy and our 
momentum in 2013 means we are confident ANZ can continue 
to perform well in the coming years.

We have set clear priorities within the bank to improve the customer 
experience, to diversify revenues, to drive productivity and to 
increase shareholder returns. As a result, we have set new targets 
to reduce the cost-to-income ratio from 44.8% to below 43% by the 
end of 2016 and to achieve a return on equity of above 16% over the 
same period.

These targets reflect the confidence we have that our super regional 
strategy can deliver on its promise to achieve market-leading 
outcomes for our shareholders, our customers and for 
the community.

(THE COMPANy) AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES, FOR THE yEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMbER 2013 AND THE

Principal Activities

State of Affairs

The Group provides a broad range of banking and financial 
products and services to retail, small business, corporate and

Geographically, operations span Australia, New Zealand, a number 
of countries in the Asia Pacific region, the United Kingdom and the 
United States. At 30 September 2013, the Group had 1,273 branches 
and other points of representation excluding Automatic Teller 
Machines (ATMs).

The Group operates on a divisional structure with Australia,

Wealth being the major operating divisions.

Results

Consolidated profit after income tax attributable to shareholders of the 
Company was $6,272 million, an increase of 11% over the prior year.

Operating income growth of $735 million (4%) was primarily driven 
by higher net interest income following a 10% increase in average 
interest earning assets, partially offset by a 9 basis point decline in 
net interest margin. Operating expenses decreased $283 million (3%), 
impacted by a software impairment charge of $274 million in the 
prior year.

Provision for credit impairment decreased by $10 million (1%), 
with improvements across the New Zealand and International and 
Institutional Banking divisions.

Balance sheet growth was strong with total assets increasing by 
$60.9 billion (9%) and total liabilities increasing by $56.5 billion (9%). 
Movements within the major components include:
 } Net loans and advances increased by $41.5 billion (10%) primarily 

driven by sustained above system housing lending growth 
of $12.9 billion (7%) in the Australia division and growth of 
$11.8 billion (12%) in IIB, mainly in Transaction Banking.

 } Growth in customer deposits of $40.9 billion (12%) comprised 

growth in Australia of $11.6 billion (8%), growth in IIB of 
$20.5 billion (14%) driven by strong momentum in Asia Pacific, 
Europe and America (APEA) and strong customer deposit growth 
in New Zealand of $6.9 billion (17%) mainly in Retail and Small 
Business Banking.

Further details are contained in the Operating and Financial 
Review section of this Directors’ Report on pages 12 to 27 in this

Directors’ Report on pages 12 to 27 in this Annual Report.

Future Developments 

Details of likely developments in the operations of the Group and its 
prospects in future financial years are contained in the Chairman’s 
Report, the Chief Executive Officer’s Report and the Operating and 
Financial Review section of this Directors’ Report in this Annual Report.

Environmental Regulation

The Company recognises the expectations of its stakeholders – 
customers, shareholders, staff and the community – to operate  
in a way that mitigates its environmental impact. 

The Company sets and reports against public targets regarding 
its environmental performance. 

The Company does not believe that its operations are subject to 
any particular and significant environmental regulation under a 
law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. However in 
Australia, the Company is subject to two pieces of legislation which 
impose environmental reporting requirements: the Energy Efficiency 
Opportunities Act 2006 (Cth) (EEO Act) and the National Greenhouse 
and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth) (NGER Act). In addition, the 
Company holds a licence under the Water Act 1989 (Vic) (Water Act) 
for the extraction of water from the Yarra River. 

Under the EEO Act, the Company meets the ‘energy use threshold’2 
and, as such, has a mandatory obligation to identify energy efficiency 
opportunities and report progress on their implementation to the 
Australian Federal Government. As required under the legislation, 
the Company identifies a cycle of works that are designed to reduce 
energy usage over a 5 year timeframe. The first five-year assessment 
cycle was completed with submission of a report in December 2011. 
The Company has now commenced its second five-year cycle with its 
Assessment Plan approved by the Department of Resources, Energy 
and Tourism in June 2013. The Company complies with its obligations 
under the EEO Act.

The NGER Act provides a national framework for reporting energy 
and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Act registration 
and reporting is mandatory for corporations whose energy 
production, energy use, or greenhouse gas emissions trigger the 
specified corporate or facility threshold.3 The Company is over the 
corporate threshold as defined within this legislation and, as a result, 
submitted its first report in October 2009 and each year thereafter.

The Company also holds a licence under the Water Act, allowing it 
to extract water from the Yarra River for thermal regulation of its 
Melbourne Head-Office building. The licence specifies daily and 
annual limits for the extraction of water from the Yarra River with 
which the Company fully complies. The extraction of this river water 
reduces reliance on the high-quality potable water supply and is one 
of several environmental initiatives that the Company has introduced 
at its Melbourne Head-Office building. 

2 

‘energy use threshold’ is defined as annual energy use of over 0.5 PJ. In Australia, ANZ’s 
annual energy use is 0.67 PJ.

3  The NGER Act specifies corporate reporting thresholds of 50kt or more of greenhouse gases 
(CO2-e) and consumption or production of 200 TJ or more of energy. ANZ exceeded these 
thresholds from 2008-09.

The Company may become subject to environmental regulation as 
a result of its lending activities in the ordinary course of business. 
The Company has developed policies to identify and manage such 
environmental matters.

Having made due enquiry, and to the best of the Company’s 
knowledge, no entity of the Group has incurred any material 
environmental liability during the year.

Further details on the Company’s environmental performance, 
including progress against its targets and details of its emissions 
profile, are available on anz.com > About us > Corporate 
Responsibility.

Non-audit Services

The Group’s Stakeholder Engagement Model for Relationship 
with the External Auditor (which incorporates requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and international best practice) states that 
the external auditor may not provide services that are perceived 
to be in conflict with the role of the external auditor. These include 
consulting advice and sub-contracting of operational activities 
normally undertaken by management, and engagements where the 
external auditor may ultimately be required to express an opinion 
on its own work.

Specifically the Stakeholder Engagement Model:
 } limits the non-audit services that may be provided;
 } requires that audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit services 
must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, or pre-approved 
by the Chairman of the Audit Committee (or up to a specified 
amount by a limited number of authorised senior members of 
management) and notified to the Audit Committee; and
 } requires that the external auditor does not commence an 

engagement for the Group until the Group has confirmed that 
the engagement has been pre-approved.

The non-audit services supplied to the Group by the Group’s external 
auditor, KPMG, or by another person or firm on KPMG’s behalf, and 
the amount paid or payable by the Group by type of non-audit 
service during the year ended 30 September 2013 are as follows:

The Audit Committee has reviewed the non-audit services provided 
by the external auditor (KPMG) for 2013, and has confirmed that 
the provision of non-audit services for 2013 is consistent with the 
Stakeholder Engagement Model and compatible with the general 
standard of independence for external auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. This has been formally advised by the Audit 
Committee to the Board of Directors.

The external auditor has confirmed to the Audit Committee that 
it has:
 } implemented procedures to ensure it complies with independence 

rules both in Australia and the United States (US); and

 } complied with domestic policies and regulations, together with 
the regulatory requirements of the US Securities and Exchange 
Commission, and ANZ’s policy regarding the provision of non-audit 
services by the external auditor. 

Further details on the compensation paid to KPMG is provided 
in note 5 to the financial statements including details of 
audit-related services provided during the year of $3.879 million 
(2012: $4.313 million).

For the reasons set out above, the Directors are satisfied that the 
provision of non-audit services by the external auditor during the 
year ended 30 September 2013 is compatible with the general 
standard of independence for external auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial

given the declarations to the Board concerning the Group’s financial 
statements and other matters as required under section 295A(2)

Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnity
The Company’s Constitution (Rule 11.1) permits the Company to 
indemnify any officer or employee of the Company against liabilities 
(so far as may be permitted under applicable law) incurred as such 
an officer or employee. It is the Company’s policy that its employees 
should be protected from any liability they incur as a result of acting 
in the course of their employment, subject to appropriate conditions.

Under the policy, the Company will indemnify employees against 
any liability they incur to any third party in carrying out their role. 
The indemnity applies to employees and former employees who 
incur a liability when acting as an employee, trustee or officer of the 
Company, another corporation or other body at the request of the 
Company or a related body corporate.

The indemnity is subject to applicable law and in addition will not 
apply to liability arising from:
 } serious misconduct, gross negligence or lack of good faith;
 } illegal, dishonest or fraudulent conduct; or
 } material non-compliance with the Company’s policies, processes 

or discretions.

The Company has entered into Indemnity Deeds with each of 
its Directors, with certain secretaries and former Directors of the 
Company, and with certain employees and other individuals who 
act as directors or officers of related bodies corporate or of another 
company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies 
the individual for all liabilities, including costs, damages and expenses 
incurred in their capacity as an officer of the company to which they 
have been appointed.

The Company has indemnified the trustees and former trustees of 
certain of the Company’s superannuation funds and directors, former 
directors, officers and former officers of trustees of various Company 
sponsored superannuation schemes in Australia. Under the relevant 
Deeds of Indemnity, the Company must indemnify each indemnified 
person if the assets of the relevant fund are insufficient to cover any 
loss, damage, liability or cost incurred by the indemnified person 
in connection with the fund, being loss, damage, liability or costs 
for which the indemnified person would have been entitled to be 
indemnified out of the assets of the fund in accordance with the 
trust deed and the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993. 
This indemnity survives the termination of the fund. Some of the 
indemnified persons are or were Directors or executive officers of 
the Company.

The Company has also indemnified certain employees of the Company, 
being trustees and administrators of a trust, from and against any 
loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or 
nature arising out of or in connection with the creation, operation or 
dissolution of the trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by 
them in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be 
within the scope of the authority conferred by the trust.

Except for the above, neither the Company nor any related body 
corporate of the Company has indemnified or made an agreement 
to indemnify any person who is or has been an officer or auditor of 
the Company against liabilities incurred as an officer or auditor of 
the Company.

During the financial year, the Company has paid premiums for 
insurance for the benefit of the directors and employees of 
the Company and related bodies corporate of the Company. 
In accordance with common commercial practice, the insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability insured against 
and the amount of the premium.

Rounding of Amounts
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in Australian 
Securities and Investments Commission class order 98/100 (as 
amended) pursuant to section 341(1) of the Corporations Act 2001.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 

This Operating and Financial Review has been prepared in 
accordance with section 299A of the Corporations Act 2001 and 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory 
Guide 247: Effective disclosure in an operating and financial review. 
It sets out information that allows shareholders to assess the Group’s 
operations, financial position, business strategies and prospects for 
future financial years. This information complements and provides 
context to the financial report. 

Operations of the Group 

OvER vIE w

ANZ provides a broad range of banking and financial products 
and services to retail, high net worth, small business, corporate 
and institutional customers. It conducts its operations primarily in 
Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. ANZ also operates 
in a number of other countries including the United Kingdom and the 
United States.

BUSINESS  MODEL 

ANZ’s business model primarily consists of raising funds through 
customer deposits and the wholesale debt markets and lending 
these funds to customers. In addition, the Group earns revenue 
from the Global Wealth business through the provision of insurance, 
superannuation and funds management services, and our Global 
Markets business from trading and risk management activities. 

Our primary lending activities are personal lending covering 
residential mortgages, credit cards and overdrafts, and lending to 
corporate and institutional customers.

Our income is derived from a number of sources, primarily:
 } Net interest income – represents the difference between the 
interest income the Group earns on its lending activities, less 
interest paid on deposits and our wholesale funding;

 } Net fee and commission income – represents fee income earned 

on lending and non-lending related financial products and 
services; and 

 } Net funds management and insurance income – represents 

income earned from the provision of investment, insurance and 
superannuation solutions.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

THE  GROUP ’S STRATEGIC  PRIORITIES  AND  OUTLOOK

SUPER REGIONAL STRATEGY
To become the best connected and most respected bank across the region

Strengthen our position in 
Australia and New Zealand

Grow in Asia, focused on 
corporate and financial 
institutions, supported by our 
Asia retail branch network

Share common technology, 
processes, products and services 
that are designed with our 
customers in mind, and to reduce 
costs, complexity and risk

Manage risk, balance sheet and capital to drive superior return for shareholders.
Develop the best connected and most respected people in banking.

ANZ is executing a focused strategy to build the best connected, 
most respected bank across the Asia Pacific region, and in doing so 
provide shareholders with above-peer earnings growth.

The bank is pursuing significant organic growth opportunities in 
the Asia Pacific region, and with our strong businesses in Australia 
and New Zealand, our distinctive footprint and super regional 
connectivity we are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of 
customers, who are increasingly linked to regional capital and 
trade flows.

ANZ’s aspiration is to have 25 to 30% of ANZ Group profit after tax 
(including network revenues) sourced from APEA, by 2017. ANZ has 
made good progress towards this aspiration. 

STRATEGIC  PROGRESS  IN  2013

While economic conditions across the Asia Pacific region remain more 
robust by comparison to much of the rest of the world, conditions for 
banking were once again challenging – particularly for institutional 
banking where subdued credit conditions and margin compression 
have impacted income growth. 

Within that environment, management continued to focus on 
balancing the need for investment to meet the needs of our 
customers and drive longer-term growth, and the need to generate 
attractive returns for our shareholders in the near-term. This has been 
achieved by focusing on both productivity initiatives and capital 
management to improve returns and support strong earnings per 
share (EPS) growth.

 } We are building stronger positions in our Australia and 

New Zealand markets, led by solid market share gains in Australia 
Retail and Commercial, emerging productivity benefits from our 
program of simplification in New Zealand, and much improved 
penetration of Wealth products into our existing customer base 
in these markets.

 } We have continued to build in Asia, focused on intermediating 
the fast growing trade and capital flows in the region with 
particular emphasis on regional treasury centres like Hong Kong 
and Singapore and products like Trade, Foreign Exchange and 
Debt Capital Markets for Institutional customers. The Commercial 
segment in Asia is quickly emerging as a source of valuable Markets 
and Trade cross-sell. 

 } Our retail business in Asia is maturing, with improving return on 

equity (ROE) and cost to income ratio. It is focused on building USD, 
AUD and RMB liquidity and building our brand across the region.
 } We reached a level of maturity with Operations and Technology 

which are now managed on an equal footing as our other Business 
Divisions. Our operations and technology strategy is delivering 
economies of scale, speed to market and a stronger control 
environment to the business, particularly from our regional hubs 
and our use of common platforms and processes, resulting in lower 
unit costs, better quality and lower risk. 

 } We globalised the operating model for Finance and Human 
Resources in line with the existing way we manage Risk, and 
we believe these changes will deliver greater consistency, higher 
control standards and lower cost.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

  13

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

 } The Group generated around $4.5 billion of additional capital over 
the year, and remains well capitalised with a Common Equity Tier 1 
ratio of 10.8% at 30 September 2013 on a Basel 3 internationally 
harmonised basis or 8.5% under APRA’s Basel 3 standards. 
Customer funding was slightly higher at 62% of total funding.
 } Gross impaired assets reduced, and the Group’s coverage ratios 

remain strong with collective provision (CP) to credit risk weighted 
asset (CRWA) at 1.00% and individual provision (IP) to gross 
impaired assets at 34.4%.

 } Finally, we focused on strengthening management depth and the 
alignment between business, operations, support and technology.

MEDIUM  TO LONG TERM  STRATEGIC  GOALS  AND  OUTLOOK

As we enter 2014 the global economy is continuing to recover slowly. 
The major economies in the United States, Europe and Japan are 
gradually strengthening and while growth in emerging Asia has come 
off recent highs, growth rates are expected to remain above those in 
the major developed economies. China has come through a managed 
slow-down well positioned with growth expected to be around 7.5% 
in 2014.

Australia and New Zealand remain in a strong position with economic 
growth increasingly linked to Asia with the two economies expected 
to expand by around 2.5% in 2014. 

ANZ is committed to delivering top quartile total shareholder 
returns and above-peer earnings growth, targeting a Group cost to 
income ratio of less than 43% and ROE of at least 16% by the end of 
September 2016. The target dividend payout ratio remains at around 
65-70% of cash profit, with a bias towards the upper end of this range, 
which we believe to be a sustainable level in a Basel 3 environment. 

To do this we will continue to:
 } Strengthen our position in our Australia and New Zealand markets 

by growing our Retail and Commercial operations, driving 
productivity benefits, leveraging the super regional strategy and 
using technology to drive better functionality:
–  In Australia, we are transforming the way we serve our customers 
by investing in physical, mobile and digital channels to support 
our retail customers, by increasing sales capacity to support 
our business banking customers, and by investing in customer 
analytics; and

–  In New Zealand, we will work under one brand on one platform 

with more efficient market coverage.

 } Focus our Asia expansion primarily on Institutional Banking, 

supporting our Australian and New Zealand customers, targeting 
profitable markets and segments in which we have expertise 
and which are connected through trade and capital flows, while 
continuing to build our niche Commercial and Retail businesses.
 } Achieve greater efficiency and control through the use of scalable 

common infrastructure and platforms.

 } Maintain strong liquidity and actively manage capital to 

enhance ROE.

 } Build on our Super Regional capabilities by utilising our 

management bench-strength and continuing to deepen our 
international pool of talent.

 } Apply strict criteria when reviewing existing investment and new 

inorganic opportunities.

The ability of the Group to achieve its goals set out above is 
dependent on the success of the Group’s ability to manage its 
material risks which are outlined on pages 26 to 27. 

Further information on business strategies which may affect the 
operations of the Group in subsequent years are contained in the 
Chairman’s Report and the CEO Report.

Non-IfRS information
The Group provides an additional measure of performance which is prepared on a basis other than in accordance with the accounting standards 
– cash profit. The guidance provided in ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Cash Profit
From 1 October 2012, the Group changed to reporting profit on a cash basis from reporting profit on an underlying profit basis. Comparative 
information has been restated on a consistent basis.

the results for the ongoing business activities of the Group. The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit 
which is subject to audit within the context of the Group statutory audit opinion. Cash profit is not subject to audit by the external auditor, 
however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each 
period presented.

Net interest income increased $662 million (5%), with strong growth in average interest earning assets, up 10%, partially offset by a decline in 
the net interest margin.

The Group net interest margin (excluding Global Markets) of 2.63% was 8bps lower than 2012 driven by the impacts of lower interest rates 
on capital and rate-insensitive deposits, the impacts of the high growth in lower margin Trade business within IIB, increased competition for 
deposits across all businesses and the impacts of lower margins arising from improved credit quality.

These declines were partially offset by improvements in margins in Australia and the benefits of an improved funding mix arising from an 
increased proportion of customer deposits and lower reliance on more expensive wholesale funding.

Average interest earning assets (excl. Global Markets) increased $33.3 billion (8%) over the year with increases driven by:
 } Australia increased $15.4 billion with mortgages up $10.4 billion and Corporate & Commercial Banking up $4.8 billion primarily in Fixed 

lending and Tailored Commercial Facilities;

 } IIB (excl. Global Markets) increased $10.6 billion due to $1.7 billion increase in Global Loans and a $6.8 billion increase in Trade Finance 

lending; and 

 } New Zealand increased $6.9 billion driven by an uplift in Retail lending, particularly in mortgages.

2  Other income includes a $291 million gain on sale of Visa shares during 2012.
3  During the year the Group recognised a funding valuation adjustment of $61 million for the net cost of funding associated with collateralised and uncollateralised derivative positions.

Other operating income decreased $132 million (2%) during the period. The decline primarily relates to a reduction in ‘other’ due to 
non-recurring gains recorded in 2012 from the sale of Visa inc. shares of $291 million, partially offset by increased Wealth Management and 
Global Markets other operating income during the year.

Fee income increased by $23 million due to trade finance loan volume growth and pricing initiatives partially offset by reductions in advisory 
fees due to a reduction in corporate advisory activity and lower levels of non-yield related fee income.

Foreign exchange earnings (FX) income decreased by $79 million as a result of realised FX revenue hedge losses in Group Centre which offset 
translation gains elsewhere in the Group.

Net income from wealth management increased $117 million due to increases in Global Wealth of $65 million arising from increased insurance 
and funds management income and $11 million in New Zealand arising from an increase in branch distribution of insurance products and 
improved Kiwisaver performance. Retail Asia Pacific increased $8 million as a result of improved insurance and investment performance in 
Singapore and Indonesia and Group Centre increased $34 million due to a reduction in the elimination of OnePath investments in ANZ products 
(with a corresponding reduction reflected in net interest income). 

Share of associates’ profit increased by $82 million as a result of increases across a number of our associates. Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank 
(SRCB) increased $33 million mainly attributable to growth in interest income driven by loan repricing and reduced low margin lending as well 
as lower credit provisions. Bank of Tianjin (BoT) increased $21 million due to an increase in underlying earnings driven by strong asset growth, 
and AMMB Holdings Berhad (AMMB) increased $15 million mainly attributable to an increase in underlying earnings driven by growth in interest 
income and lower credit provisions.

Global Markets income increased $93 million and is affected by mix impacts between the categories within other operating income and net 
interest income. The key movements related to:
 } Fixed income increased $43 million with Credit and Balance Sheet trading benefiting from contracting spreads during the year which more 

than offset the impact of a funding valuation adjustment;

 } FX income increased $107 million with growth in the FX business, particularly in the key global FX markets of Singapore and London. FX 

income in Asia was up 25% over the year and up 40% in Europe over the same period; and

 } Capital Markets increased $22 million mainly driven by increased deal activity in Loan Syndications.

Operating expenses reduced by 3%, with all business divisions recording reductions. 

Personnel expenses decreased $8 million with annual salary increases and the adverse impact of foreign exchange movements being offset by 
reductions in staff numbers, increased utilisation of our hub resources and lower temporary staff costs.

Premises expenses increased $17 million mainly due to rent increases and the transition to new buildings in Sydney and New Zealand.

Computer expenses reduced $140 million due to the $274 million impairment of software assets in 2012, partially offset by an increase in 
depreciation and amortisation and technology investment.

Restructuring expenses decreased $189 million mainly due to the wind down of NZ Simplification and lower spend on restructuring initiatives.

Other expenses increased $37 million due to higher costs relating to Banking on Australia and investment in technology, along with higher

The total individual provision charge decreased $470 million (29%), primarily driven by a reduced number of individual provision charges in 
IIB and New Zealand where credit quality improved. This was partially offset by an increase in individual provision in Australia division, driven 
primarily by commercial lending.

The collective provision charge increased $409 million from a $379 million release in September 2012 to a $30 million charge in September 
2013. The increase was driven primarily by a $98 million increase in Australia division reflecting releases from the economic cycle balance 
in 2012 and lending growth in 2013, and a $326 million movement in IIB due to crystallisation of individual provisions on a few large legacy 
exposures in 2012 and the associated collective provision release.

The $30 million collective provision charge reflects a $49 million charge in Australia division primarily related to volume growth in the 
commercial portfolio, a $37 million charge in IIB primarily due to growth, and a release in New Zealand of $58 million reflecting economic 
cycle releases.

The Group’s balance sheet continued to strengthen during 2013 with stronger capital ratios, a higher level of liquidity, an increased proportion 
of funding from customer deposits and a reduction in the proportion of impaired assets to gross loans and advances. 

Asset growth of $61 billion (9%) was principally driven by:
 } Liquid assets/due from other financial institutions increased $8 billion primarily attributable to the impact of the AUD depreciation on 

liquidity portfolios held in offshore branches; and

 } Net loans and advances increased $42 billion primarily driven by an $18 billion increase in the Australia division from above system growth in 
Mortgages and growth in Corporate & Commercial Banking; an $11 billion increase in New Zealand due to above system growth in mortgages 
and favourable exchange rate movements; and a $12 billion increase in IIB with strong growth across all business lines in the APEA geography. 

Liabilities growth of $57 billion (9%) was principally driven by:
 } Deposits and other borrowings which increased $43 billion due to growth in customer deposits of $41 billion primarily in Australia (increased 

by $12 billion) and IIB (increased by $21 billion) with solid growth from new retail savings products and greater penetration in the APEA 
region respectively.

Gross impaired assets decreased by 18% driven by several single names returning to performing in IIB and New Zealand, combined with lending

assets of 34.4% at 30 September 2013, up from 34.1% as at 30 September 2012.

The collective provision ratio of 1.00% provides conservative coverage given the ongoing improvement in credit quality, particularly in the

The Group maintains a portfolio of liquid assets to manage potential stresses in funding sources. The minimum level of liquidity portfolio assets 
to hold is based on a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios such that potential cash flow obligations can be met 
over the short to medium term. 

The Group holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high credit quality securities that may be sold or pledged to provide same-day liquidity. 
All assets held in the prime portfolio are securities eligible for repurchase under agreements with the applicable central bank (i.e. ‘repo eligible’). 
The liquidity portfolio is well diversified by counterparty, currency and tenor. Under the liquidity policy framework, securities purchased for 
ANZ’s liquidity portfolio must be of a similar or better credit quality to ANZ’s external long-term or short-term credit ratings and continue to be 
repo eligible. 

During the year customer funding increased by $44 billion and now represents 62% of total funding. Wholesale funding increased $13 billion, 
with an additional $24 billion of term wholesale debt issued across a well diversified range of domestic and international investors during 2013.

RESULTS  Of MAJOR  SEGMENTS  Of  THE GROUP 

Australia
Across ANZ’s Retail and Commercial businesses in Australia, we serve approximately six million customers.

During 2013, we have continued to strengthen our Australian domestic franchise with market share gains in our target segments while 
maintaining strong margins, cost discipline and asset quality. We continue to leverage ANZ’s Super Regional advantage to bring the whole of 
ANZ to our customers.

Banking on Australia Transformation Program
Our Banking on Australia program is transforming the business to position ANZ for growth in a changing environment. We are building our lead 
in digital and mobile channels to enhance the customer experience, expand our reach and deepen customer loyalty by making it easier for our 
customers to bank with us, while delivering a lower cost to serve. Our customer connectivity continues to grow with one million active ANZ 
goMoneyTM users, more than 7,000 active ANZ FastPayTM merchants and 1,200 frontline bankers enabled with mobility tools (iPads). 

We are transforming our distribution network to focus on more complex sales, reduce branch footprint costs, build out contact centre capability 
and improve frontline banker productivity. This has resulted in revenue per full time equivalent (FTE) increasing 7% and the expense to income 
ratio reducing from 40.8% in 2012 to 37.5% in 2013.

Banking on Australia is delivering. ANZ had the strongest overall growth of the major banks across Home Loans, Deposits, Cards1, and also Share 
of Wallet2 in 2013. ANZ has now grown Housing Lending at above system levels for 14 consecutive quarters1 and 53% of Home Loans are now 
sold through our proprietary channels, up from 49% in September 2012. Corporate & Commercial Banking has leveraged Banking on Australia 
by focusing on delivering an easy, connected and insightful customer experience and utilising ANZ’s super regional footprint. As a result C&CB 
has grown net customer numbers3 by 30,000 (8%), delivered strong volume growth and increased cross-sell by 8% over the year.

Cash profit increased 11%, with a 7% increase in income and a 2% reduction in expenses, partially offset by a 28% increase in credit provisions. 
Key factors affecting the result were:
 } Net interest income increased 8% from growth in average net loans and advances of 6%, driven by sustained above system growth in 

home loans, including branch originated home loan sales growth of 16%, and strong lending growth in Corporate & Commercial Banking. 
Additionally, net interest margin improved 5bps as a result of disciplined margin management, partly offset by deposit pricing pressures.
 } Operating expenses reduced 2% (flat after adjusting for significant software impairments in the prior year). Investment spending was funded 

by a reduction in average FTE and benefits from a focus on productivity and expense management.

 } Provision for credit impairment increased 28%. Individual provisions increased driven by lower asset valuations across the rural and vehicle 

finance sectors in Corporate & Commercial Banking, partially offset by an improvement in cards delinquency. Collective provisions increased 
in both Retail and Corporate & Commercial Banking reflecting asset growth as well as releases in the prior period.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

International and Institutional Banking 
IIB’s result reflected continued progress of the Super Regional Strategy through diversified income streams, improved quality of lending and 
enhanced connectivity for our customers. We are doing more business with more customers in more products in more countries and this has 
helped offset margin pressure compared to prior years. 

This result highlights the continued progress of our expansion into Asia with the APEA component of IIB (which consists of our Asian 
Partnerships, Asian Retail and Institutional banking operations in APEA geographies) now contributing 48% of income and delivering income 
growth of 10% in the current year. This result reflects the ongoing investment in systems and people in the region, building scale and capability 
which has helped generate strong volume growth experienced in Asia compared to the more constrained business environments in Australia 
and New Zealand.

The division reported a 21% fall in gross impaired assets over the year which reflects our continued actions to reduce risk the Global Institutional 
loan portfolio, with 78% of the Institutional lending book now being investment grade (compared to 60% in 2008) and transforming the lending 
book to shorter dated Trade exposures.

Cash profit increased 15% with strong other operating income growth in Global Markets and Transaction Banking, a 3% reduction in operating 
expenses and a 30% reduction in credit provision charges, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin. The key factors affecting the 
result were:
 } Net interest income was largely unchanged year on year, with solid growth net loans and advances in APEA (32%), offset by a decrease in net 
interest margin from a shift in focus to lower risk, shorter duration trade products coupled with increased competition and a lower interest 
rate environment.

 } Other external operating income increased 5%. This increase was driven by the focus on growing Trade and the Markets businesses, along 

with a 15% improvement in the contributions from Asia Partnerships. 

 } Operating expenses were 3% lower (2% higher after adjusting for the software impairments in the prior year), with cost savings from 

productivity gains and greater utilisation of the hub resources partially offset by continued re-investment in the business.

 } Provision charges for credit impairment were 30% lower than the prior year. This was due in most part to higher individual provision charges 
that were booked in 2012 on a few legacy Global Institutional loans in Australia but also improved quality across the lending book in 2013.

New Zealand
The New Zealand division has successfully completed its brand integration and moved to a single core banking system. This has driven 
continued benefits as we leverage our scale and work to build a better bank for our customers.

By investing in our digital channels, optimising our branch network and simplifying our business, we are enhancing the experience for 
customers while making it easier for them to deal with us. This has driven an increase in revenue of 12% per FTE and 16% per branch in 2013. 
We grew market share in target segments and our brand consideration improved more than any other bank in New Zealand.

Retail update
Under a single brand, the Retail business progressed its optimisation of the branch network which has resulted in increased coverage and 
cost savings. Lending volumes have held up well in a subdued credit environment and net interest margin has stabilised notwithstanding 
unfavourable product mix impacts.

Commercial update
Commercial has focused on growing Small Business Banking and improving the quality of the CommAgri lending portfolio. Small Business 
Banking delivered above-system lending growth through investment in sales capabilities which has more than offset the impact of 
margin compression.

Cash profit increased 37% (29% after removing the impact of the depreciation of the AUD during the year) predominantly from strong deposit 
and lending growth, lower costs and a substantial reduction in provisioning charges, partly offset by net interest margin contraction. Key factors 
affecting the result were:
 } Average lending growth of 4% in a subdued credit environment was driven by above-system growth in mortgages and small business bank 
lending, with a lower reliance on CommAgri lending. Net interest margin contracted 14 basis points due to strong lending competition, 
unfavourable mix impacts from customers preferring lower margin fixed rate products, and higher year on year wholesale funding costs, 
partially offset by improved deposit margins, particularly in term deposits.

 } Other operating income increased 10%, driven by the gain on sale of EFTPOS New Zealand Limited and an increase in wealth management 

and insurance revenues.

 } Operating expenses reduced 10% (2% after adjusting for the program of Simplification in New Zealand) reflecting productivity benefits from 

simplifying our business and leveraging our scale. 

 } Credit impairment charges reduced 75% driven by lower individual provisioning levels as credit quality and processes both continued to 

improve, particularly in the Commercial book. The collective provision release was $13 million higher due to a larger release of economic cycle 
and model risk provisions in 2013.

Cash Profit increased by 36%, with a 6% increase in net funds management and insurance income, a 2% reduction in expenses as well as the 
impact of a favourable one-off tax consolidation adjustment. Key factors affecting the result were:
 } Funds Management operating income increased by 4%. This was mainly driven by 13% growth in funds under management (FUM) as a result 

of strong gains from the investment market, partially offset by net interest margin contraction and losses from the annuity portfolio.

 } Insurance operating income grew 6% driven by improved life insurance related claims and stable lapse experience, along with strong growth 
in inforce premium in retail products. General insurance operating margins also improved, delivering a strong result with 11% higher inforce 
premium, as well as improved event and working claims.

 } Private Wealth operating income was up by 6% mainly driven by solid growth in volumes. Net loans and advances grew by 15% and customer 

deposits increased by 22%.

 } Operating expenses reduced by 2%, with productivity and simplification activities offsetting increased investment in strategic 

growth initiatives.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Risks
The success of the Group’s strategy is underpinned by sound management of its risks. As the Group progresses on its strategic path of becoming 
the best connected and most respected bank across the region, the risks faced by the Group will evolve in line with the strategic direction. 
The success of the Group’s strategy is dependent on its ability to manage the broad range of interrelated risks it is exposed to across our 
expanding geographic footprint. 

Risk Appetite 
ANZ’s risk appetite is set by the Board and integrated within ANZ’s strategic objectives. The risk appetite framework underpins fundamental 
principles of strong capitalisation, robust balance sheet and sound earnings, which protects ANZ’s franchise and supports the development 
of an enterprise-wide risk culture. The framework provides an enforceable risk statement on the amount of risk ANZ is willing to accept and it 
supports strategic and core business activities and customer relationships ensuring that:
 } only permitted activities are engaged in;
 } the scale of permitted activities, and subsequent risk profile, does not lead to potential losses or earnings volatility that exceeds ANZ 

approved risk appetite;

 } risk is expressed quantitatively via limits and tolerances;
 } management focus is brought to bear on key and emerging risk issues and mitigating actions; and
 } risk is linked to the business by informing, guiding and empowering the business in executing strategy.

ANZ’s risk management is viewed as a core competency and to ensure that risks are identified, assessed and managed in an accurate and timely 
manner, ANZ has:
 } An independent risk management function, with both central and enterprise-wide functions (which typically cover such activities as risk 

measurement, reporting and portfolio management), together with embedded risk managers within the businesses.

 } Developed frameworks to provide structured and disciplined processes for managing key risks. These frameworks include articulation of the 

appetite for these risks, portfolio direction, policies, structures, limits and discretions.

Material Risks
All the Group’s activities involve, to varying degrees, the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of risks or combinations of risks. 
The material risks facing the Group and its approach to management of those risk are described below: 

Credit Risk – is defined as the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully 
the terms of a loan or contract. ANZ has a comprehensive framework to manage credit risk and support sound growth for appropriate returns. 
The framework is top down, being defined by credit principles and policies. The effectiveness of the credit risk management framework is 
assessed through various compliance and monitoring processes. These, together with portfolio selection, define and guide the credit process, 
organisation and staff.

Market Risk – is defined as the risk to earnings arising from changes in market risk factors, which ANZ may have an exposure to in the Banking 
Book and/or Trading Book. The key market risk factors can be summarised as follows:

- Interest rate risk: exposure to changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, slope of the yield curve and changes in credit spreads.
- Currency rate risk: exposure to changes in foreign exchange spot and forward prices and the volatility of foreign exchange rates.
- Commodity price risk: exposure to changes in commodity prices and the volatility of commodity prices. 
- Equity price risk: exposure to changes in equity prices and the volatility of equity prices. 

The Market Risk function is a specialist risk management unit independent of the business that is responsible for measuring and monitoring 
market risk. Market Risk have implemented policies and procedures to ensure that ANZ’s market risk exposures are managed within the appetite 
and limit framework set by the Board. 

Liquidity Risk – is defined as the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors 
or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The timing mismatch of cash flows and the 
related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of liquid assets 
to manage potential stresses in funding sources. The minimum level of liquid assets held is based on a range of ANZ specific and general market 
liquidity stress scenarios such that potential cash flow obligations can be met over the short to medium term.

26

Operational Risk – is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external 
events. This definition includes legal risk, and the risk of reputational loss but excludes strategic risk. The Group Operational Risk function is 
responsible for exercising governance over operational risk by ensuring business management usage of the operational risk measurement and 
management framework. They are also responsible for ensuring that key operational risks and their management are reported to executive 
risk committees. Key operational risk themes include business disruption, rogue trader and mis-selling. Business units are responsible for the 
day to day management of operational risks through the implementation of the Operational Risk Measurement and Management framework. 
This includes the identification, analysis, assessment, monitoring, treatment and escalation of operational risks.

Compliance Risk – is defined as the probability and impact of an event that results in a failure to act in accordance with laws, regulations, 
industry standards and codes, internal policies and procedures and principles of good governance as applicable to ANZ’s businesses. Group 
Compliance is accountable for designing a compliance program that allows ANZ to meet its regulatory obligations. It also provides assurance to 
the Board that material risks are identified, assessed and managed by the business.

Reputational Risk – is defined as the risk of loss caused by adverse perceptions of ANZ held by the public, shareholders, investors, regulators, 
or rating agencies that directly or indirectly impact earnings, capital adequacy or value. We have established decision-making frameworks and 
policies to ensure our business decisions are guided by sound social and environmental standards and take into account reputation risk.

Insurance Risk – is defined as the risk of loss due to unexpected changes in current and future insurance claim rates. In life insurance business, 
insurance risk arises primarily through mortality (death) and morbidity (illness and injury) and longevity risks. For general insurance business, 
insurance risk arises mainly through weather-related incidents and similar calamities, as well as adverse variability in home, contents, motor, 
travel and other insurance claim amounts. Insurance risk is managed primarily by: product design to price all applicable risks into contracts; 
reinsurance to reduce liability for large individual risks; underwriting to price/reserve for the level of risk associated with an individual contract; 
claims management to admit and pay only genuine claims; insurance experience reviews to update assumptions and portfolio management to 
maintain a diversity of individual risks.

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

Further information on risk management including approach, framework and key areas of focus can be found in the Corporate Governance 
section of the Directors’ Report as set out on page 63. A listing of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group are set out in the 
Supplementary information on pages 191 to 199.

Introduction from the Chair of the Human Resources Committee

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present our Remuneration Report for the year ending 30 September 2013.

Our remuneration framework is designed to create value for all stakeholders, to differentiate rewards based on performance and in line with our 
risk management framework, and to provide competitive rewards to attract, motivate and retain the right people.

We are pleased to report that the ANZ Board has assessed the overall 2013 performance as being on or slightly above target for each category 
within the balanced scorecard of measures, which reflects both annual priorities and also progress toward broader long term strategic goals.

During 2013 the Human Resources Committee continued to have a strong focus on the relationship between business performance, risk 
management and remuneration. The Committee conducted a comprehensive review of the reward structure and agreed the following with 
the Board: 
 } The reduction of the maximum STI opportunity from 250% to 200% of target; 
 } The introduction of a second LTI comparator group (ASX/S&P 50) with half of future LTI allocations to be based on Total Shareholder 

Return (TSR) relative to this group and half on TSR relative to the existing financial services comparator group, better reflecting the range of 
investors in ANZ;

 } Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors would remain unchanged for 2013; and
 } No increases to fixed remuneration for the CEO or Disclosed Executives in 2013. 

Further detail is provided within the Remuneration Report which we hope you will find informative.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

1. Basis of Preparation

The Remuneration Report is designed to provide shareholders with an understanding of ANZ’s remuneration policies and the link between our 
remuneration approach and ANZ’s performance, in particular regarding Key Management Personnel (KMP) as defined under the Corporations 
Act 2001. Individual outcomes are provided for ANZ’s Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Disclosed Executives 
(current and former).

The Disclosed Executives are defined as those direct reports to the CEO with responsibility for the strategic direction and management of a major 
revenue generating Division or who control material revenue and expenses that fall within the definition of KMP.

The Remuneration Report for the Company and the consolidated entity for 2012 and 2013 has been prepared in accordance with section 300A of 
the Corporations Act 2001. Information in Table 6: Non Statutory Remuneration Disclosure has been prepared in accordance with the presentation 
basis set out in Section 8.4. The information provided in this Remuneration Report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the 
Corporations Act 2001, unless indicated otherwise, and forms part of the Directors’ Report.

2. Key Management Personnel (KMP)

3. Role of the Board in Remuneration

The Human Resources (HR) Committee is a Committee of the Board. The HR Committee is responsible for:
 } reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in relation to remuneration governance, director and senior executive remuneration 

and senior executive succession;

 } specifically making recommendations to the Board on remuneration and succession matters related to the CEO, and individual remuneration 

arrangements for other key executives covered by the Group’s Remuneration Policy;

 } the design of significant incentive plans (such as the ANZ Employee Reward Scheme (ANZERS) and the Institutional Total Incentives 

Performance Plan); and

 } remuneration structures for senior executives and others specifically covered by the Remuneration Policy.

More details about the role of the HR Committee can be found on the ANZ website.1

The link between remuneration and risk is considered a key requirement by the Board, with Committee membership structured to ensure 
overlap of representation across the HR Committee and Risk Committee, with three Non-Executive Directors currently on both committees.

Throughout the year the HR Committee and management received information from external providers (Ernst & Young, Herbert Smith Freehills, 
Mercer (Australia) Pty Ltd, Hay Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers). This information related to remuneration market data and analysis, 
market practice on the structure and design of incentive programs (both short and long term), legislative requirements and interpretation of 
governance and regulatory requirements both in Australia and globally.

The HR Committee did not receive any recommendations from remuneration consultants during the year in relation to the remuneration 
arrangements of KMP. ANZ employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide recommendations to the HR Committee/Board, taking 
into consideration market information from external providers. The Board’s decisions were made independently using the information provided 
and having careful regard to ANZ’s strategic objectives and Remuneration Policy and principles.

4. HR Committee Activities

During 2013, the HR Committee met on five occasions, with remuneration matters a standing agenda item on each occasion. The HR Committee 
has a strong focus on the relationship between business performance, risk management and remuneration, with the following activities 
occurring during the year:
 } annual review of the effectiveness of the Remuneration Policy;
 } review of terms and conditions of key senior executive appointments and terminations;
 } engagement with APRA on remuneration compliance and application of the APRA Remuneration Standard;
 } involvement of the Risk function in remuneration regulatory and compliance related activities; 
 } monitoring of domestic and international regulatory and compliance matters relating to remuneration governance;
 } review of STI and LTI arrangements; and
 } review of ANZ’s progress in building a culture aligned to its super regional aspirations.

5. Remuneration Strategy and Objectives

ANZ’s remuneration strategies and initiatives shape the Group’s Remuneration Policy, which is approved by the Board. The following principles 
underpin ANZ’s Remuneration Policy, which is applied globally across ANZ:
 } creating and enhancing value for all ANZ stakeholders;
 } emphasising the ‘at risk’ components of total rewards to increase alignment with shareholders and encourage behaviour that supports both 
the long term financial soundness and the risk management framework of ANZ, and to deliver superior long term total shareholder returns;

 } differentiating rewards in line with ANZ’s culture of rewarding for outperformance and demonstration of values led behaviours; and
 } providing a competitive reward proposition to attract, motivate and retain the highest quality individuals in order to deliver ANZ’s business 

and growth strategies.

The core elements of ANZ’s remuneration strategy for the CEO and Disclosed Executives are set out below:

fIGURE 1: REMUNERATION  OBJECTIvES

Shareholder

Fixed remuneration 

Short Term Incentive (STI)

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

Fixed remuneration is set based on  
financial services market relativities reflecting 
responsibilities, performance, qualifications, 
experience and location. 

STI targets are linked to the performance 
targets of the Group, Division and individual 
using a balanced scorecard approach,  
which considers short term performance  
and contribution towards longer term 
objectives, and also the demonstration  
of values led behaviours.

LTI targets are linked to relative  
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)  
over the longer term.

Cash 

Delivered as:

Part cash and part equity,  
with the equity deferred 
 for 1 and 2 years.

Deferred equity remains  
at risk until vesting.

Equity deferred for 3 years.

Deferred equity remains  
at risk until vesting.

This is tested once  
at vesting date.

6. The Composition of Remuneration at ANZ

The Board aims to find a balance between:
 } fixed and at-risk remuneration;
 } short term and long term incentives; and
 } amounts paid in cash and deferred equity.

Figure 2 provides an overview of the target remuneration mix for the CEO and Disclosed Executives.

CEO

Disclosed Executives

The CEO’s target remuneration mix is equally weighted between fixed remuneration, STI and LTI, with approximately half of total target 
remuneration payable in cash in the current year and half allocated as equity and deferred over one, two or three years. The deferred 
remuneration remains at risk until vesting date.

The target remuneration mix for Disclosed Executives is weighted between fixed remuneration (37%), STI (44%) and LTI (19%), with 
approximately 60% of total target remuneration payable in cash in the current year and 40% allocated as equity and deferred over one, two or 
three years. The deferred remuneration remains at risk until vesting date. The Board has adopted this mix as an effective reward mechanism to 
drive strong performance and value for the shareholder in both the short and longer term. In line with that, the STI balanced scorecard contains 
a combination of short and long term objectives. See Section 7.2, STI – Performance and Outcomes.

ANZ’s STI and LTI deferral arrangements are designed to ensure that the CEO and Disclosed Executives are acting in the best long term interests 
of ANZ and its shareholders. Deferring part of their STI and all of their LTI over one to three years every year results in a substantial amount of 
their variable remuneration being directly linked to long term shareholder value. For example as at 30 September 2013 the CEO held 109,397 
unvested STI deferred shares and 908,398 unvested LTI performance rights, the combined value1 of which was around 10 times his fixed 
remuneration. Similarly as at 30 September 2013 Disclosed Executives held unvested equity, the value1 of which was around five times their 
average fixed remuneration. All unvested deferred remuneration is subject to ANZ’s clawback provisions.

1   Value is based on the number of unvested deferred shares and unvested performance rights held at 30 September 2013 multiplied by the ANZ share price as at 30 September 2013.

The reward structure for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is detailed below. The only exception is the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) whose 
remuneration arrangements have been structured differently to preserve the independence of this role and to minimise any conflicts of interest 
in carrying out the risk control function across the organisation. The CRO’s role has a greater weighting on fixed remuneration with more limited 
STI leverage for individual performance and none (either positive or negative) for Group performance. LTI is delivered as unhurdled deferred 
share rights, with a three year time based hurdle, and is therefore not subject to meeting a relative TSR performance hurdle.

6.1 fIxED REMUNERATION

The fixed remuneration amount is expressed as a total dollar amount which can be taken as cash salary, superannuation contributions and other 
nominated benefits.

ANZ positions fixed remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives against the relevant financial services market (referencing both 
domestic and international financial services companies) and takes into consideration role responsibilities, performance, qualifications, 
experience and location. The financial services market is considered the most relevant comparator as this is the main pool for sourcing talent 
and where key talent may be lost.

6.2 vARIABLE REMUNERATION

Variable remuneration forms a significant part of the CEO’s and Disclosed Executives’ potential remuneration, providing at risk components that 
are designed to drive performance in the short, medium and long term. The term ‘variable remuneration’ within ANZ covers both the STI and 
LTI arrangements.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

  33

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

6.2.1 Short Term Incentives (STI)
The STI provides an annual opportunity for an incentive award. It is assessed against Group, Divisional and individual objectives based on a 
balanced scorecard of measures and positive demonstration of values led behaviours. Many of the measures relate to contribution towards 
medium to longer term performance outcomes aligned to ANZ’s strategic objectives as well as annual goals. For the CEO and Disclosed 
Executives, the weighting of measures in the balanced scorecard will vary to reflect the responsibilities of each role. For example the CEOs of 
the Australia, New Zealand, Wealth and International and Institutional Banking divisions and also the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have a heavier 
weighting on financial measures.

STI ARRANGEMENTS 

Purpose

Performance targets

The STI arrangements support ANZ’s strategic objectives by providing rewards that are significantly differentiated on the 
basis of achievement against annual performance targets coupled with demonstration of values led behaviours.
ANZ’s Employee Reward Scheme (ANZERS) structure and pool is reviewed by the HR Committee and approved by the 
Board. The size of the overall pool is based on an assessment of the balanced scorecard of measures of the Group. This pool 
is then distributed based on relative performance against a balanced scorecard of quantitative and qualitative measures.

In order to focus on achieving individual, Divisional and Group performance objectives a mix of quantitative and 
qualitative short, medium and long term measures are assessed. Examples of these are given below and further detail 
is provided in Section 7.2, STI – Performance and Outcomes:
 } High Performing – cash profit, economic profit, return on equity and cash earnings per share;
 } Most Respected – senior leaders as role models, employee engagement and workforce diversity;
 } Well Managed – maintain strong credit rating, core funding ratio, cost to income ratio and number of outstanding 

internal audit items; 

 } Best Connected – strong growth in Asia Pacific, Europe and America, with increasing cross border referrals and 

revenues into and out of domestic markets of Australia and New Zealand; and 
 } Customer Driven – customer satisfaction (based on external survey outcomes).
Targets are set considering prior year performance, industry standards and ANZ’s strategic objectives. Many of the 
measures also focus on targets which are set for the current year in the context of progress towards longer term 
goals. The specific targets and features relating to all these measures have not been provided in detail due to their 
commercial sensitivity.
The validation of performance and achievements against these objectives at the end of the year, for:
 } the CEO involves a review and endorsement by the CRO and CFO, followed by review and endorsement by the 

HR Committee, with final outcomes approved by the Board; and

 } Disclosed Executives involves a review by the CEO, input on each individual’s risk management from the CRO and 
input on the financial performance of all key Divisions from the CFO. Preliminary and final review is completed by 
the HR Committee and final outcomes are approved by the Board.

The Board reviews performance outcomes against target for each metric, combined with a judgmental assessment 
of the prioritisation and impact of each outcome relative to overall business performance for both the short and 
longer term.
This method of assessment to measure performance has been adopted to ensure validation from a risk management 
and financial performance perspective, along with independent input and recommendation from the HR Committee 
to the Board for approval.

Rewarding performance The 2013 target STI award level for the CEO represents one third of total target remuneration and for Disclosed 

Executives approximately 44% of their total target remuneration. The maximum STI opportunity for the CEO and 
Disclosed Executives is up to 200% of the target whereas weaker performers receive a significantly reduced or no 
incentive payment at all.

Mandatory deferral of a portion of the STI places an increased emphasis on having a variable structure that is flexible, 
continues to be performance linked, has significant retention elements and aligns the interests of the CEO and 
Disclosed Executives to shareholders to drive continued performance over the longer term.
The mandatory deferral threshold for STI payments is currently $100,000 (subject to a minimum deferral amount of 
$25,000) with:
 } the first $100,000 of STI paid in cash;
 } 50% of STI above $100,000 paid in cash;
 } 25% of STI above $100,000 deferred in ANZ equity for one year; and
 } 25% of STI above $100,000 deferred in ANZ equity for two years.
The deferred component of bonuses paid in relation to the 2013 year is delivered as ANZ deferred shares or deferred 
share rights. Where deferred share rights are granted, for grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the 
award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion. At the 
end of the deferral period, each deferred share right entitles the holder to one ordinary share. Deferred shares are 
ordinary shares. 
The deferred amounts remain at risk and are subject to clawback until the vesting date.

Mandatory deferral

34

6.2.2 Long Term Incentives (LTI)
The LTI provides an annual opportunity for an equity award deferred for three years that aligns a significant portion of overall remuneration to 
shareholder value over the longer term.

LTI awards remain at risk and subject to clawback until vesting and must meet or exceed a relative TSR performance hurdle.

The HR Committee will determine the appropriate quantum of awards to be allocated by reference to the performance achieved in the financial 
year to which the awards relate. A grant is then made after the end of the year to which it relates.

Awards granted in November/December 2012 are subject to a TSR performance condition relative to one comparator group only and are 
described below. 

LTI ARRANGEMENTS (granted during the year to 30 September 2013)

Type of equity 
awarded

LTI is delivered to the CEO and Disclosed Executives as 100% performance rights. A performance right is a right to acquire 
a share at nil cost, subject to meeting time and performance hurdles. Upon exercise, each performance right entitles the 
CEO and Disclosed Executives to one ordinary share.
The future value of the grant may range from zero to an undefined amount depending on performance against the hurdle 
and the share price at the time of exercise.
For grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent 
payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion.

Time restrictions

Performance rights awarded to the CEO and Disclosed Executives will be tested against the performance hurdle at the end 
of three years. A three year performance period provides a reasonable period to align reward with shareholder return and 
also acts as a vehicle to retain the CEO and Disclosed Executives. If the performance rights do not achieve the required 
performance hurdle they are forfeited at that time.

Performance hurdle The performance rights are designed to reward the CEO and Disclosed Executives if the Group’s TSR is at or above the 

Vesting schedule

Comparator group

Size of LTI grants

median TSR of a group of peer companies over a three year period. TSR represents the change in the value of a share plus 
the value of reinvested dividends paid. TSR was chosen as the most appropriate comparative measure as it focuses on the 
delivery of shareholder value and is a well understood and tested mechanism to measure performance.
The performance rights granted to the Disclosed Executives and CEO in November/December 2012 have a single 
comparator group outlined below. 

The proportion of performance rights that become exercisable will depend upon the TSR achieved by ANZ relative to the 
companies in the comparator group at the end of the three year period.
An averaging calculation is used for TSR over a 90 day period for start and end values in order to reduce the impact of 
share price volatility. To ensure an independent TSR measurement, ANZ engages the services of an external organisation 
(Mercer (Australia) Pty Ltd) to calculate ANZ’s performance against the TSR hurdle. The level of performance required 
for each level of vesting, and the percentage of vesting associated with each level of performance, are set out below. 
The performance rights lapse if the performance condition is not met. There is no re-testing.

The ANZ comparator group currently consists of the following nine companies:
 } AMP Limited
 } ASX Limited
 } Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited
 } Insurance Australia Group Limited
 } Macquarie Group Limited

 } National Australia Bank Limited
 } QBE Insurance Group Limited
 } Suncorp-Metway Limited
 } Westpac Banking Corporation

These companies represent domestic financial services companies and were considered by the Board as the most 
appropriate comparator for ANZ at the time of the grant.

Refer to Section 8.2, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), for details on the CEO’s LTI arrangements.
The size of individual LTI grants for Disclosed Executives is determined by reference to market practice, ANZ’s target 
remuneration structure for the role, their performance and the assessed potential of the Disclosed Executive. Disclosed 
Executives are advised of the dollar value of their LTI grant, which is then converted into a number of performance rights 
based on an independent valuation. Refer to Section 9.1, Equity Valuations for further details on the valuation approach 
and inputs.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

LTI ARRANGEMENTS (to be granted after 1 October 2013)
LTI awards which will be granted in November/December 2013 will be divided into two equal tranches and vest based on the Company’s relative 
TSR against two different comparator groups over the performance period. One tranche will be measured against the existing select financial 
services comparator group. The second tranche will be measured against a comparator group comprising companies making up the S&P/ASX 50 
Index as at 22 November 2013. 

Each tranche will be measured independently from the other so an allocation may vest against one comparator group but not the other. 

LTI ARRANGEMENTS fOR THE CRO

Deferred share rights 

The CRO is the only Disclosed Executive to receive LTI deferred share rights, rather than performance rights.
Deferred share rights are subject to a time-based vesting hurdle of three years, during which time they are held in 
trust. The value used to determine the number of LTI deferred share rights to be allocated is based on an independent 
valuation, as detailed in Section 9.1, Equity Valuations.
For grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent 
payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion.

Clawback
The Board has on-going and absolute discretion to adjust performance-based components of remuneration (including previously deferred 
equity or cash) downwards, or to zero, at any time, including after the grant of such remuneration, where the Board considers such an 
adjustment is necessary to protect the financial soundness of ANZ or to meet unexpected or unknown regulatory requirements, or if the 
Board subsequently considers that having regard to information which has come to light after the grant of deferred equity/cash, the deferred 
equity/cash was not justified.

Prior to any scheduled release of deferred equity/cash, the Board considers whether any downward adjustment should be made.

Hedging and Margin Lending Prohibition
As specified in the Trading in ANZ Securities Policy and in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, equity allocated under ANZ incentive 
schemes must remain at risk until fully vested (in the case of deferred shares) or exercisable (in the case of options, deferred share rights or 
performance rights). As such, it is a condition of grant that no schemes are entered into, by an individual or their associated persons, that 
specifically protects the unvested value of shares, options, deferred share rights or performance rights allocated. Doing so would constitute a 
breach of the grant conditions and would result in the forfeiture of the relevant shares, options, deferred share rights or performance rights.

ANZ also prohibits the CEO and Disclosed Executives from providing ANZ securities in connection with a margin loan or similar financing 
arrangements which may be subject to a margin call or loan to value ratio breach.

To monitor adherence to this policy, ANZ’s CEO and Disclosed Executives are required to sign an annual declaration stating that they and their 
associated persons have not entered into (and are not currently involved in) any schemes to protect the value of their interests in any ANZ 
securities. Based on the 2013 declarations, ANZ can advise that the CEO and Disclosed Executives are fully compliant with this policy.

Shareholding Guidelines
The CEO and Disclosed Executives are expected to accumulate ANZ shares over a five year period, to the value of 200% of their fixed 
remuneration and to maintain this shareholding while an executive of ANZ. Shareholdings for this purpose include all vested and allocated 
(but unvested) equity which is not subject to performance hurdles. The CEO and all Disclosed Executives have met or, if less than five years 
tenure, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding guidelines requirement.

Cessation of Employment Provisions
The provisions that apply for STI and LTI awards in the case of cessation of employment are detailed in Sections 8.2, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 
and 8.3, Disclosed Executives.

Conditions of Grant
The conditions under which STI (deferred shares and deferred share rights) and LTI (performance rights and deferred share rights) are granted 
are approved by the Board in accordance with the rules of the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and/or the ANZ Share Option Plan.

1   From 1 October 2012, the Group has used Cash profit as a measure of the result of the ongoing business activities of the Group enabling shareholders to assess Group and divisional performance 

against prior periods and against peer institutions. For 2013 and 2012 statutory profit has been adjusted for non-core items to arrive at Cash profit. For 2009 - 2011 statutory profit has been 
adjusted for non-core items to arrive at Underlying profit, which like Cash profit is a measure of the ongoing business performance of the Group but used somewhat different criteria for the 
adjusting items. Neither Cash profit nor Underlying profit are audited; however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the Cash/Underlying profit adjustments have been 
determined on a consistent basis across the respective periods presented.

2   The opening share price at 1 October 2008 was $19.00.
3   The average STI payments for each year are based on those executives (including the CEO) disclosed in each relevant reporting period.

Figure 4 compares ANZ’s TSR performance against the median TSR and upper quartile TSR of the LTI select financial services comparator group 
and the S&P/ASX 200 Banks Accumulation Index (Fin Index) over the 2009 to 2013 measurement period. ANZ’s TSR performance has well 
exceeded the upper quartile TSR of the LTI comparator group over the five year period to 30 September 2013.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

7.2 STI – PERfORMANCE AND OUTCOMES

ANZ uses a balanced scorecard to measure performance in relation to the Group’s main incentive programs. The scorecard provides a framework 
whereby a combination of measures can be applied to ensure a broader long term strategic focus on driving shareholder value as well as a focus 
on annual priorities.

The HR Committee considers a balanced scorecard that is aligned to the Group’s long term strategic intent under the themes of High 
Performing, Most Respected, Well Managed, Best Connected and Customer Driven, with each of the five categories having broadly 
equal weighting.

The Board has assessed ANZ’s overall 2013 performance as on or slightly above target for each category within the balanced scorecard of 
measures. The Board has given full consideration to the performance of the Group and the Disclosed Executives in determining their rewards. 
Overall spend approved by the Board for the main short term incentive pool was below target levels with a range of underlying outcomes for 
individuals, in line with ANZ’s objectives of differentiating reward based on performance.

The following provides examples of some of the key measures within each category of the balanced scorecard of measures used in 2013 for 
assessing performance for the purpose of determining short term incentive pools.

Category

Measure

Outcome

High Performing

Slightly Above Target:
ANZ aims to outperform peers both in terms of financial strength and earnings performance.

Cash profit

A record cash profit after tax of $6,498 million up 11% on 2012.

Economic profit

Economic profit1 of $2,701 million, up 14%.
Both cash profit and statutory profit were up 11% on 2012.

Return on equity

Cash ROE of 15.3%, up 20 bps on the prior year as a result of a higher cash profit and effective 
capital management.

Cash earnings per share 
(EPS)

Cash EPS of 238.5 cents has improved 9% from 2012.

Most Respected

On Target:

Senior leaders as 
role models

The overall assessment of Senior Leaders as role models improved from 67% to 71% this year 
bringing it higher than the Financial Services norm.

Employee engagement An engaged workforce is regarded as an important driver of sustainable long term performance. 
Despite continuing challenging business conditions and significant bank-wide changes over the 
year, employee engagement has improved to 72% in 2013.

Workforce diversity

Workforce diversity is core to delivering on our super regional strategy. Management roles filled 
by women remain steady year on year. ANZ is continually focused on increasing the diversity of 
its workforce.

Well Managed

On Target:

Maintain strong 
credit rating

The maintenance of a strong credit rating is fundamental to the ongoing stability of the Group 
and there have been no changes to the Group’s credit ratings during the year.

Core funding ratio (CFR) CFR of 93%, improved from 89% in the prior year.

Cost to income ratio

Significant productivity improvement in 2013 with the cost to income ratio reducing 130 bps 
(excluding VISA sales proceeds, NZ Simplification costs and software impairment charges 
in 2012) on the back of tight cost management. 

Number of outstanding 
internal audit items

ANZ Global Internal Audit conducts an ongoing and rigorous review process to identify 
weaknesses in procedures and compliance with policies. In 2013 there was an historically low 
number of outstanding items.

38

Category

Measure

Best Connected

Outcome

On Target:

Growth in Asia Pacific, 
Europe and America

ANZ aspires to be the most respected bank in the Asia Pacific region using super regional 
connectivity to better meet the needs of customers which are increasingly linked to regional 
capital, trade and wealth flows. One important measure of the success of the super regional 
strategy is the growth in total Network revenues (revenue arising from having a meaningful 
business in Asia Pacific, Europe and America regardless of whether the revenue is subsequently 
booked within the region or in Australia or New Zealand). APEA Network revenues remained 
stable at 21% of Group revenue in 2013. This continues to differentiate ANZ from its Australian 
peer group.

Customer Driven

On Target:

Customer satisfaction 
(based on external 
survey outcomes)

ANZ tracks customer satisfaction across its businesses as part of a group of indicators of longer 
term performance trends. ANZ aims to achieve top quartile customer satisfaction scores in each 
business based on external surveys.
In 2013 customer satisfaction in Australia, across Retail and Corporate and Commercial 
segments has improved significantly on prior year.
However, customer satisfaction in New Zealand has declined slightly as a result of 
NZ Simplification but market share has been retained.

1   Economic profit is an unaudited risk adjusted profit measure determined by adjusting cash profit for economic credit costs, the benefit of imputation credits and the cost of capital.

7.3 LTI – PERfORMANCE AND  vESTING

Performance rights previously granted to the CEO and Disclosed Executives which reached their third anniversary were tested in November/
December 2012. ANZ’s relative TSR exceeded the 75th percentile of the comparator group over the three year period and therefore the rights 
vested in full. 

The performance rights granted in November/December 2010 will be tested at their third anniversary in November/December 2013 to 
determine the vesting outcome.

8. 2013 Remuneration

8.1 NON-ExECUTIvE DIRECTORS (NEDS)

Principles underpinning the remuneration policy for NEDs.

Principle

Comment

Aggregate Board and Committee fees are 
within the maximum annual aggregate 
limit approved by shareholders

The current aggregate fee pool for NEDs of $4 million was approved by shareholders at the 2012 
Annual General Meeting. The annual total of NEDs’ fees, including superannuation contributions, 
is within this agreed limit. Retirement benefits accrued as at September 2005 are not included 
within this limit.

Fees are set by reference to key 
considerations

Board and Committee fees are set by reference to a number of relevant considerations including:
 } general industry practice and best principles of corporate governance;
 } the responsibilities and risks attached to the role of NEDs;
 } the time commitment expected of NEDs on Group and Company matters; and
 } reference to fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies.

ANZ compares NED fees to a comparator group of Australian listed companies with a similar size 
market capitalisation, with particular focus on the major financial services institutions. This is 
considered an appropriate group, given similarity in size, nature of work and time commitment 
required by NEDs.

The remuneration structure preserves 
independence whilst aligning interests of 
NEDs and shareholders

So that independence and impartiality is maintained, fees are not linked to the 
performance of the Company and NEDs are not eligible to participate in any of the Group’s 
incentive arrangements.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

  39

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Components of NED Remuneration
NEDs receive a fee for being a Director of the Board, and additional fees for either chairing or being a member of a Board Committee. 
The Chairman of the Board does not receive additional fees for service on a Board Committee.

The Board agreed not to increase the individual NED fees for 2013. For details of remuneration paid to NEDs for the years 2012 and 2013, refer 
to Table 3.

Superannuation contributions are made in accordance with the current Superannuation Guarantee 
legislation (but only up to the Government’s prescribed maximum contributions limit) which 
satisfies the Company’s statutory superannuation contributions. Contributions are not included in 
the base fee.

The ANZ Directors’ Retirement Scheme was closed effective 30 September 2005. Accrued 
entitlements relating to the ANZ Directors’ Retirement Scheme were fixed at 30 September 2005 
and NEDs had the option to convert these entitlements into ANZ shares. Such entitlements, either 
in ANZ shares or cash, have been carried forward or will be transferred to the NED when they retire 
from the ANZ Board (including interest accrued at the 30 day bank bill rate for cash entitlements).

The accrued entitlements for current NEDs fixed under the ANZ Directors’ Retirement Scheme as at 
30 September 2005 were as follows:
 } G Clark
 } D Meiklejohn
 } J Morschel

$83,197
$64,781
$60,459

Shareholdings of NEDs
The movement in shareholdings during the reporting period (held directly, indirectly and by related parties) is provided in the Financial 
Statements – note 46.

The NED shareholding guidelines require NEDs to accumulate shares, over a five year period from appointment, to the value of 100% (200% for 
the Chairman) of the base annual NED fee and to maintain this shareholding while a Director of ANZ. NEDs have agreed that where their holding 
is below this guideline they will direct a minimum of 25% of their fees each year toward achieving this shareholding.

All NEDs have met or, if appointed within the last five years, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding guidelines requirement.

40

NED Statutory Remuneration Disclosure
Remuneration details of NEDs for 2012 and 2013 are set out in Table 3. There was no increase in NED fees throughout the year. Overall, there is 
an increase in total NED remuneration year on year due to the commencement of Ms Dwyer in April 2012, the commencement of Mr Liebelt in 
July 2013 and the prescribed increase in Superannuation Guarantee Contributions.

1  Fees are the sum of Board fees and Committee fees, as included in the Annual Report.
2  Long-term benefits and share-based payments are not applicable for the Non-Executive Directors. There were no termination benefits for the Non-Executive Directors in either 2012 or 2013.
3  Amounts disclosed for remuneration of Directors exclude insurance premiums paid by the Group in respect of Directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts. The total premium, which cannot 
be disclosed because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based on all available information, the Directors believe that no 
reasonable basis for such allocation exists.

4   For J Morschel, non monetary benefits relate to car parking. For D Meiklejohn, non monetary benefits relate to the provision of office space.
5   P Dwyer commenced as a Non-Executive Director on 1 April 2012 so 2012 remuneration reflects amounts received for the partial service for the 2012 year. G Liebelt commenced as a 

Non-Executive Director on 1 July 2013 so 2013 remuneration reflects amounts received for the partial service for the 2013 year.

8.2 CHIEf  ExECUTIvE OffICER (CEO)
Actual remuneration provided to the CEO in 2013 is detailed below, with remuneration tables provided in Section 8.4, Remuneration Tables – 
CEO and Disclosed Executives.

fixed pay: The CEO’s fixed remuneration remained unchanged at $3.15 million (with his only increase since commencement being three years 
ago, effective 1 October 2010).

Short Term Incentive (STI): The CEO has a target STI opportunity of $3.15 million. The actual amount paid can increase or decrease from this 
number dependent on his performance as CEO and the performance of the organisation as a whole. Specifically, if, in the Board’s view the CEO 
has performed above/below his targets, the Board may exercise its discretion to increase/decrease the STI beyond his target payment.

The Board approved the CEO’s 2013 balanced scorecard objectives at the start of the year and then assessed his performance against these 
objectives at the end of the year. The CEO’s STI payment for 2013 was then determined having regard to his delivery against these objectives 
including ANZ’s productivity performance and focus on capital efficiency, his demonstration of values led behaviours, as well as progress 
achieved in relation to ANZ’s long term strategic goals. The STI payment for 2013 will be $4.0 million with $2.05 million paid in cash and the 
balance ($1.95 million) awarded as deferred shares, half deferred for one year and half for two years.

Unvested deferred shares will be forfeited if the CEO resigns. Unvested deferred shares will be retained and released at the vesting date where 
the CEO is terminated with notice or where cessation of employment is by mutual agreement, unless the Board determines otherwise.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

  41

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Long Term Incentive (LTI): Three tranches of performance rights were granted to the CEO in December 2007, covering his first three years in the 
role. All three tranches have now vested. The third tranche was tested on 18 December 2012 and as a result of the testing 100% (260,642) of the 
performance rights vested. There is no re-testing of these grants.

At the 2012 Annual General Meeting shareholders approved an LTI grant to the CEO equivalent to 100% of his 2012 fixed pay, being 
$3.15 million. This equated to 328,810 performance rights being granted, at an allocation value of $9.58 per right, deferred for three years and 
subject to testing against a TSR hurdle relative to a comparator group of selected financial services companies.

For 2013, it is proposed to grant $3.15 million (100% of fixed pay) LTI, subject to shareholder approval at the 2013 Annual General Meeting, to 
be delivered as performance rights split into two equal tranches, each subject to a relative TSR performance hurdle, as outlined in Section 6.2.2. 
The TSR hurdles will be subject to testing after three years, i.e. November 2016.

The performance rights will be forfeited if the CEO resigns before they have vested and/or been exercised. The performance rights will be 
retained and will vest and become exercisable, subject to the relevant time and performance conditions being satisfied, where the CEO is 
terminated with notice or where cessation of employment is by mutual agreement.

CEO Equity
Details of deferred shares, options and performance rights granted to the CEO during the 2013 year and in prior years which vested, were

1  The maximum value at the time of the grant is determined by multiplying the number granted by the fair value of the equity instruments. (Refer to Table 8: Equity Valution Inputs – Options/Rights 
for the fair value of rights at grant and Table 9: Equity Valuation Inputs – Deferred shares for the fair value of shares at grant.) The minimum value of the grants, if the applicable conditions are not 
met at vesting date, is nil. Options/rights granted include those granted as remuneration to the CEO. No options/rights have been granted since the end of 2013 up to the signing of the Director’s 
Report on 8 November 2013.

2  The value of shares and/or performance rights is based on the one day VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the date of vesting, lapsing/forfeiture or exercising/sale, multiplied by 

the number of shares and/or performance rights. 

3  The CEO had a proportion of his STI amount deferred as equity. The Board determined the deferred amount for the CEO. Refer to Table 9 for details of the valuation methodology, inputs and 

fair value.

4  LTI performance rights granted 19 December 2007 were exercised on 20 December 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.7616. The exercise price was $0.00.
5  The 2012 LTI grant for the CEO was delivered as performance rights. Refer to the section on CEO LTI for further details of the LTI grant and Table 8 for details of the valuation, inputs and fair value.

The movement during the reporting period in shareholdings, options and performance rights of the CEO (held directly, indirectly and by related 
parties) is provided in the Financial Statements – note 46.

CEO’s Contract Terms

In the event of takeover, scheme of arrangement or other change of control event occurring, the performance 
condition applying to the performance rights will be tested and the performance rights will vest based on the extent 
the performance condition is satisfied. No pro-rata reduction in vesting will occur based on the period of time from 
the date of grant to the date of the change of control event occurring, and vesting will only be determined by the 
extent to which the performance condition is satisfied.
Any performance rights which vest based on satisfaction of the performance condition will vest at a time (being no 
later than the final date on which the change of control event will occur) determined by the Board.
Any performance rights which do not vest will lapse with effect from the date of the change of control event 
occurring, unless the Board determines otherwise.
Any unvested STI deferred shares will vest at a time (being no later than the final date on which the change of control 
event will occur) determined by the Board.

Termination for serious 
misconduct

ANZ may immediately terminate Mr Smith’s employment at any time in the case of serious misconduct, and Mr Smith 
will only be entitled to payment of fixed remuneration up to the date of termination.
On termination without notice by ANZ in the event of serious misconduct all STI deferred shares remaining in trust 
and performance rights (or cash equivalent) will be forfeited.

Statutory Entitlements

Payment of statutory entitlements of long service leave and annual leave applies in all events of separation.

8.3 DISCLOSED ExECUTIvES

Actual remuneration provided to the Disclosed Executives in 2013 is summarised below, with remuneration tables provided in Section 8.4, 
Remuneration Tables – CEO and Disclosed Executives.

fixed pay: During 2013, fixed pay for Disclosed Executives remained unchanged. The annual review of ANZ’s fixed remuneration levels for 
Disclosed Executives identified they were generally competitively positioned within the market and there were no increases to fixed pay.

Short Term Incentive (STI): All incentives actually paid in the 2013 financial year related to performance from the 2012 financial year, and all 
deferred components are subject to the Board’s discretion to reduce or adjust to zero before vesting.

For the 2013 year, the Board took into consideration overall Company performance against the balanced scorecard of measures, along with 
individual performance against set objectives. Overall, the total amount of STI payments to Disclosed Executives for the 2013 year (which are 
paid in the 2014 financial year) has increased from 2012, reflecting the improvement in company performance, the focus on productivity and 
capital efficiency, and progress towards the achievement of longer term targets, demonstrating the link between performance and variable 
reward outcomes.

The range in payments to individuals was broad, ranging from on target to well above target.

Long Term Incentive (LTI): LTI performance rights granted to Disclosed Executives during the 2013 financial year were allocated in November 
2012. Subject to meeting the relative TSR performance hurdle, these performance rights will vest in November 2015.

For awards to be allocated in November/December 2013, the Board elected to grant LTI awards to Disclosed Executives at or above target, 
reflecting the importance of focusing Disclosed Executives on the achievement of longer term strategic objectives and alignment with 
shareholders interests, and recognising the capabilities of these individuals and the need to retain their expertise over the longer term.

Disclosed Executives Equity
Details of deferred shares, options and performance rights granted to the Disclosed Executives during the 2013 year and granted to the 
Disclosed Executives in prior years which vested, were exercised/sold or which lapsed/were forfeited during the 2013 year are set out in Table 5.

The movement in shareholdings, options and performance rights of the Disclosed Executives (held directly, indirectly and by related parties) 
during the reporting period is provided in the Financial Statements – note 46.

1   The maximum value at the time of the grant is determined by multiplying the number granted by the fair value of the equity instruments. (Refer to Table 8: Equity Valuation Inputs – Options/

Rights for the fair value of rights at grant and Table 9: Equity Valuation Inputs – Deferred shares for the fair value of shares at grant). The minimum value of the grants, if the applicable conditions 
are not met at vesting date, is nil. Options/rights granted include those granted as remuneration to the five highest paid executives, inclusive of Disclosed Executives or any other Group 
and Company executives who participate in making decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the business of the Company or who have the capacity to significantly affect the 
Company’s financial standing. No options/rights have been granted since the end of 2013 up to the signing of the Director’s Report on 8 November 2013.

2   The value of shares and/or share rights and/or performance rights is based on the one day VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the date of vesting, lapsing or exercising, 

multiplied by the number of shares and/or share rights and/or performance rights. The value of options is based on the difference between the one day VWAP and the exercise price, multiplied by 
the number of options.

3   P Chronican – LTI performance rights granted 24 December 2009 were exercised on 24 December 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.9575. The exercise price was $0.00.
4   S Elliott – STI deferred options granted 13 November 2009 were exercised 2 May 2013. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $31.5166. The exercise price was $22.80. STI deferred options 

granted 12 November 2010 were also exercised 2 May 2013. The exercise price was $23.71. LTI performance rights granted 13 November 2009 were exercised 13 November 2012. One day VWAP 
on date of exercise was $24.2290. The exercise price was $0.00.

5   A Géczy – A Géczy commenced in role 16 September 2013. No equity transactions were applicable for the period.
6   D Hisco – STI deferred share rights granted 12 November 2010 were exercised on 12 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.5676. The exercise price was $0.00. STI deferred 
share rights granted 14 November 2011 were exercised on 14 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.1998. The exercise price was $0.00. LTI performance rights granted 
13 November 2009 were exercised 13 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.2290. The exercise price was $0.00.

7   G Hodges – STI deferred share rights granted 31 October 2008 were exercised on 9 May 2013. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $30.6205. The exercise price was $0.00. LTI performance rights 

granted 13 November 2009 were exercised on 13 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.2290. The exercise price was $0.00.

8   J Phillips – LTI performance rights granted 13 November 2009 were exercised 13 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.2290. The exercise price was $0.00.
9   A Thursby – Ceased employment 30 June 2013 so equity transactions are to that date. Transactions include those that transpired prior to cessation and those that were forfeited on cessation. 
STI deferred options granted 31 October 2008 were exercised 2 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $25.2291. The exercise price was $17.18. STI deferred options granted 
31 October 2008 were exercised 22 February 2013. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $28.2586. The exercise price was $17.18. LTI performance rights granted 13 November 2009 were 
exercised 13 November 2012. One day VWAP on date of exercise was $24.2290. The exercise price was $0.00.

10  The Disclosed Executives had a proportion of their STI amount deferred as equity. In 2013 D Hisco received share rights rather than shares due to taxation regulations in New Zealand. 

A share right effectively provides a right in the future to acquire a share in ANZ at nil cost to the employee. Refer to the STI arrangements section for further details of the mandatory deferral 
arrangements for the Disclosed Executives and Table 9 for details of the valuation methodology, inputs and fair value.

11  The 2012 LTI grants for Disclosed Executives were delivered as performance rights excluding for the CRO. Refer to Section 6.2.2, LTI Arrangements for further details and Table 8 for details of the 

valuation, inputs and fair value.

Disclosed Executives’ Contract Terms
The following sets out details of the contract terms relating to the Disclosed Executives. The contract terms for all Disclosed Executives are 
similar, but do on occasion, vary to suit different needs.

Length of contract

Disclosed Executives are on a permanent contract, which is an ongoing employment contract until notice is given by 
either party.

Notice periods

Resignation

In order to terminate the employment arrangements, Disclosed Executives are required to provide the Company with 
six months’ written notice. ANZ must provide Disclosed Executives with 12 months’ written notice.

On resignation, unless the Board determines otherwise, all unvested deferred shares, all unvested or vested but 
unexercised performance rights and all deferred share rights are forfeited.

Termination on notice 
by ANZ

ANZ may terminate the Disclosed Executive’s employment by providing 12 months’ written notice or payment 
in lieu of the notice period based on fixed remuneration. On termination on notice by ANZ, unless the Board 
determines otherwise:
 } all unvested deferred shares, performance rights and deferred share rights are forfeited at the time notice is given to 

the Disclosed Executive; and

 } only performance rights and deferred share rights that are vested may be exercised.

Redundancy

If ANZ terminates employment for reasons of redundancy, a severance payment will be made that is equal to 
12 months’ fixed remuneration.
All STI deferred shares and STI deferred share rights remain subject to clawback and are released at the original vesting 
date. Performance rights, LTI deferred shares and LTI deferred share rights are either released in full or on a pro-rata 
basis, at the discretion of the Board with regard to the circumstances.

Death or total and 
permanent disablement

On death or total and permanent disablement all unvested STI deferred shares, all deferred share rights and all 
performance rights will vest.

Termination for serious 
misconduct

ANZ may immediately terminate the Disclosed Executive’s employment at any time in the case of serious misconduct, 
and the employee will only be entitled to payment of fixed remuneration up to the date of termination.

On termination without notice by ANZ in the event of serious misconduct all deferred shares held in trust will be 
forfeited and all performance rights and deferred share rights will be forfeited.

Statutory Entitlements

Payment of statutory entitlements of long service leave and annual leave applies in all events of separation.

Other arrangements

P Chronican – As Mr Chronican joined ANZ in November 2009 he was not included in the LTI grants made to other 
Management Board members in early November 2009. Accordingly, a separate LTI grant was made in December 2009 
providing performance rights on the same terms and conditions as those provided to Management Board for 2009, 
apart from the allocation value which varied to reflect the different values at the respective grant dates.

1  Fixed remuneration was unchanged for Disclosed Executives year on year. The difference for S Elliott year on year reflects his promotion in 2012 where remuneration was increased to reflect 

expanded responsibilities. The differences for J Phillips and N Williams year on year reflects partial service as a Disclosed Executive in 2012.

2   The possible range of STI is between 0 and 2 times target STI. The actual STI received is dependent on ANZ and individual performance (refer to Section 6.2.1, Short Term Incentives (STI) for more 

details). Anyone who received less than 100% of target forfeited the rest of their STI entitlement. The minimum value is nil and the maximum value is what was actually paid.

3   M Smith – The 2013 LTI relates to the LTI grant that is proposed for 2013, subject to approval by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. The 2012 LTI relates to the LTI grant approved 
by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting. Non monetary benefits include car parking, life insurance and taxation services. In 2013 equity to the value of $2,054,542 vested in respect 
of previously disclosed deferred STI granted in 2010 and 2011. In addition, equity to the value of $6,419,352 vested in respect of previously disclosed deferred LTI granted in 2007, as approved 
by shareholders.

4   P Chronican – Non monetary benefits include car parking and taxation services. In 2013 equity to the value of $712,255 vested in respect of previously disclosed deferred STI granted in 2010 and 

2011. In addition, equity to the value of $1,440,697 vested in respect of deferred LTI granted in 2009.

5   S Elliott – 2012 fixed remuneration represents what was paid during the year (an increase to $1,250,000 occurred at date of promotion, 1 March 2012 - this figure has been referenced to calculate 
2012 STI as a % of target). Non monetary benefits include car parking and taxation services. In 2013 equity to the value of $588,926 vested in respect of previously disclosed deferred STI granted 
in 2010 and 2011. In addition, equity to the value of $995,424 vested in respect of deferred LTI granted in 2009.

1   Cash salary includes reductions made in relation to the utilisation of ANZ’s Lifestyle Leave Policy, where applicable.
2   Non monetary benefits generally consist of company-funded benefits such as car parking and taxation services. This item also includes costs met by the company in relation to relocation, gifts 

received on leaving ANZ for former Disclosed Executives, and for the CEO, life insurance. The fringe benefits tax payable on any benefits is also included in this item.

3   The total cash incentive relates to the cash component only, with the deferred equity component to be amortised from the grant date. The relevant amortisation of the 2012 STI deferred 

components are included in share-based payments. The 2013 STI deferred components will be amortised from the grant date. The cash incentive component was approved by the Board on 
24 October 2013. 100% of the cash incentive awarded for the 2012 and 2013 years vested to the Disclosed Executive in the applicable financial year.

4   The possible range of STI is between 0 and 2 times target STI (0 and 2.5 times target STI in 2012). The actual STI received is dependent on ANZ and individual performance (refer to Section 6.2.1, 
Short Term Incentives (STI) for more details). The 2013 STI awarded (cash and equity component) as a percentage of target STI was: M Smith 127% (2012: 117%); P Chronican 128% (2012: 103%); 
S Elliott 167% (2012: 140%); D Hisco 167% (2012: 142%); G Hodges 104% (2012: 100%); J Phillips 108% (2012: 100%); N Williams 133% (2012: 104%); P Marriott n/a (2012: 86% – pro-rated to date 
ceased in role, 31 May 2012); A Thursby nil (2012: 140%). Anyone who received less than 100% of target forfeited the rest of their STI entitlement. The minimum value is nil and the maximum value 
is what was actually paid.

5   For all Australian based Disclosed Executives other than M Smith and A Thursby, the superannuation contribution reflects the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution – individuals may elect to 

take this contribution as superannuation or a combination of superannuation and cash. As M Smith is and A Thursby was a holder of a long stay visa, their fixed remuneration does not include the 
Superannuation Guarantee Contribution, however they are able to elect voluntary superannuation contributions. 

6   Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ prior to November 1992, D Hisco, G Hodges and N Williams are eligible to receive a Retirement Allowance on 

retirement, retrenchment, death, or resignation for illness, incapacity or domestic reasons. The Retirement Allowance is calculated as follows: three months of preserved notional salary (which is 
65% of Fixed Remuneration) plus an additional 3% of notional salary for each year of fulltime service above 10 years, less the total accrual value of long service leave (including taken and untaken).
7   In accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based payments, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of all 

equity that had not yet fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. It is assumed that deferred shares will vest after three years. Assumptions for options/rights are detailed in Table 8: 
Equity Valuation Inputs – Options/Rights. The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. The amount included as remuneration is 
not related to nor indicative of the benefit (if any) that may ultimately be realised should the options/rights become exercisable. For deferred shares, the fair value is the volume weighted average 
price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the day the shares were granted.

8   Amortisation of other equity allocations for M Smith relates to the special equity allocation which was approved by shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. Amortisation for A Thursby 

relates to equity granted on commencement.

9   Remuneration amounts disclosed exclude insurance premiums paid by the consolidated entity in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance contracts which cover current and former KMP 
of the controlled entities. The total premium, which cannot be disclosed because of confidentiality requirements, has not been allocated to the individuals covered by the insurance policy as, based 
on all available information, the directors believe that no reasonable basis for such allocation exists.

10 The disclosed amortised value of rights/options for each KMP as a percentage of Grand Total Remuneration is: M Smith 30%; P Chronican 18%; S Elliott 19%; A Géczy 0%; D Hisco 33%; 

G Hodges 18%; J Phillips 18%; N Williams 6%; A Thursby -114%.

11 While the CEO is an Executive Director, he has been included in this table with the Disclosed Executives.
12 A Géczy was appointed to the CEO, International & Institutional Banking role on 16 September 2013 so remuneration reflects amounts received for the partial service of the 2013 year. J Phillips was 
appointed to the CEO, Global Wealth and Group Managing Director, Marketing, Innovation and Digital role on 1 March 2012 so remuneration reflects amounts received for the partial service for 
the 2012 year. N Williams was appointed to the Chief Risk Officer role on 17 December 2011 so remuneration reflects amounts received for the partial service for the 2012 year. P Marriott ceased 
employment 31 August 2012 and remuneration is to this date, the STI has been pro-rated to date ceased in role, 31 May 2012. C Page retired 16 December 2011 and remuneration is to this date. 
A Thursby ceased employment 30 June 2013 and remuneration is to this date.

13 For those Disclosed Executives who were disclosed in both 2012 and 2013, the following are noted: 

- P Chronican – uplift in year-on-year remuneration, driven by a combination of factors including increases in non monetary benefits, cash STI and amortised value of equity.
-  S Elliott – uplift in year-on-year remuneration, driven by a combination of factors including fixed remuneration on promotion in 2012, increases in cash STI, superannuation and amortised value 

of equity.

- D Hisco – uplift in year-on-year remuneration, driven by a combination of factors including non monetary benefits, cash STI and amortised value of equity.
- G Hodges – uplift in year-on-year remuneration, driven by a combination of factors including non monetary benefits, cash STI and amortised value of equity.
- J Phillips – 2012 remuneration only reflected a partial year as she commenced in role 1 March 2012. Uplift in year-on-year remuneration due to full year in role in 2013.
- N Williams – 2012 remuneration only reflected a partial year as he commenced in role 17 December 2011. Uplift in year-on-year remuneration due to full year in role in 2013.
-  A Thursby – 2013 remuneration only reflected a partial year as he concluded in role 30 April 2013 and ceased employment effective 30 June 2013. Decrease in year-on-year remuneration reflects 

reversals in the amortised value of equity due to equity forfeiture on resignation. Termination benefits relate to statutory leave entitlements paid on termination.

  A Géczy is disclosed only for part of the 2013 year from commencement in a KMP role.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

9. Equity
All shares underpinning equity awards may be purchased on market, or be newly issued shares or a combination of both. For the 2012 equity 
granted to the CEO and Disclosed Executives, all STI deferred shares were purchased on market and for LTI performance rights, the approach to 
satisfy awards will be determined closer to the time of vesting.

9.1 EqUITY v ALUATIONS
ANZ engages two external experts (Mercer (Australia) Pty Ltd and PricewaterhouseCoopers) to independently value any required options, 
deferred share rights and performance rights, taking into account factors including the performance conditions, share price volatility, life of the 
instrument, dividend yield and share price at grant date. These valuations are audited by KPMG and ANZ Global Internal Audit. The higher of the 
two valuations is approved by the HR Committee as the allocation and/or expensing/disclosure value (using the higher valuation results in fewer 
instruments being granted). The following tables provide details of the valuations of the various equity instruments issued during the year and 
in prior years for shares and rights where vesting, lapse/forfeiture or exercise/sale has occurred during the year:

Approach to Governance

In relation to corporate governance, the Board seeks to:
 } embrace principles and practices it considers to be best 

practice internationally;

 } be an ‘early adopter’, where appropriate, by complying before 

a published law or recommendation takes effect; and

 } take an active role in discussions of corporate governance best 
practice and associated regulation in Australia and overseas.

New Zealand
As an overseas listed issuer on the NZX, ANZ is deemed to comply 
with the NZX Listing Rules provided that it remains listed on the ASX, 
complies with the ASX Listing Rules and provides the NZX with all the 
information and notices that it provides to the ASX. 

The ASX Governance Principles may differ materially from the NZX’s 
corporate governance rules and the principles of the NZX’s Corporate 
Governance Best Practice Code. More information about the 
corporate governance rules and principles of the ASX can be found 
at asx.com.au and, in respect of the NZX, at nzx.com.

Compliance with Corporate Governance Codes 

ANZ has complied with all applicable governance principles in 
New Zealand throughout the financial year.

Australia
As a company listed on the ASX, ANZ is required to disclose how it has 
applied the Recommendations contained within the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (ASX Governance Principles) during the financial 
year, explaining any departures from them. ANZ confirms it has 
followed the Recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance 
Council during the reporting period.

Full details of the location of the references in this Statement (and 
elsewhere in this Annual Report) which specifically set out how ANZ 
applies each Recommendation of the ASX Governance Principles 
are contained on anz.com > About us > Our company > Corporate 
governance. The information in this Statement is current as at 
11 October 2013 except where otherwise indicated.

Other jurisdictions
ANZ also monitors best practice developments in corporate 
governance across other relevant jurisdictions.

ANZ deregistered from the US Securities Exchange Commission 
with effect from October 2007. Despite no longer being required 
to comply with United States corporate governance rules, ANZ’s 
corporate governance practices continue to have regard to US 
corporate governance regulations in relation to the independence of 
Directors, the independence of the external auditor and the financial 
expertise of the Audit Committee, as described in this Statement.

Board Responsibility and Delegation 
of Authority

The Board is chaired by an independent Non-Executive Director. 
The roles of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are separate, and 
the Chief Executive Officer is the only Executive Director on the Board.

Role of the Chairman

The Chairman plays an important leadership role and is involved in:
 } chairing meetings of the Board and providing effective leadership 

to it;

 } monitoring the performance of the Board and the mix of skills and 

effectiveness of individual contributions;

 } being an ex officio member of all principal Board Committees;
 } maintaining ongoing dialogue with the Chief Executive Officer and 

providing appropriate mentoring and guidance; and

 } being a respected ambassador for ANZ, including chairing 

meetings of shareholders and dealing with key customer, political 
and regulatory bodies.

Board Charter

The Board Charter sets out the Board’s purpose, powers and 
specific responsibilities.

The Board is responsible for:
 } charting the direction, strategies and financial objectives for 

ANZ and monitoring the implementation of those strategies and 
financial objectives;

 } monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements, ethical 

standards and external commitments, and the implementation of 
related policies; and

 } appointing and reviewing the performance of the Chief 

Executive Officer.

In addition to the above and any matters expressly required by law to 
be approved by the Board, powers specifically reserved for the Board 
include approvals of the following (except to the extent delegated by 
the Board from time to time):
 } the budget and strategic plan, at least annually; 
 } ANZ’s Remuneration Policy, including various remuneration 

matters as detailed in the Charter;

 } significant changes to organisational structure; 
 } the acquisition, establishment, disposal or cessation of any 

significant business; 

 } the issue of any shares, options, equity instruments or other 

equity securities;

 } where practicable, the substance of any announcements to the 

Australian Securities Exchange in relation to matters that have been 
the subject of a decision by the Board or any public statements 
which reflect significant issues of ANZ policy or strategy; and

 } any changes to the discretions delegated from the Board.

Under ANZ’s Constitution, the Board may delegate any of its 
powers to Committees of the Board. The roles of the principal Board 
Committees are set out on pages 60 to 64. The Charters of the Board 
and each of its principal Committees are set out on anz.com in the 
Corporate Governance section.

56

Board Meetings

The Board normally meets at least eight times each year, including a 
meeting to review in detail the Group’s strategy.

Typically at Board meetings the agenda will include:
 } minutes of the previous meeting, and outstanding issues raised by 

Directors at previous meetings;
 } the Chief Executive Officer’s report;
 } the Chief Financial Officer’s report;
 } reports on major projects and current business issues;
 } specific business proposals;
 } reports from Chairs of Committees which have met shortly prior to 
the Board meeting on matters considered at those meetings; and 

 } the minutes of previous Committee meetings for review.

There are two private sessions held at the end of each Board meeting 
which are each chaired by the Chairman of the Board.

The first involves all Directors including the CEO, and the second 
involves only the Non-Executive Directors.

The Chief Financial Officer, Group General Counsel and Company 
Secretary are also present at all Board meetings. Members of Senior 
Management attend Board meetings when an issue under their area 
of responsibility is being considered or as otherwise requested by 
the Board.

CEO and Delegation to Management

The Board has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, and through 
the Chief Executive Officer to other Senior Management, the 
authority and responsibility for managing the everyday affairs of ANZ. 
The Board monitors Management and their performance on behalf 
of shareholders.

The Group Discretions Policy details the comprehensive discretions 
framework that applies to all employees and contractors within ANZ 
and its controlled entities, including when acting at ANZ’s request in 
operational roles or as directors of other entities.

The Group Discretions Policy is maintained by the Chief Financial 
Officer and reviewed annually by the Audit Committee with the 
outcome of this review reported to the Board.

At a Senior Management level, ANZ has a Management Board 
which comprises the Chief Executive Officer and ANZ’s most 
senior executives.

At the time of preparation of this Statement, the following Senior 
Management, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer, were 
members of the Management Board: Graham Hodges – Deputy 
Chief Executive Officer; Shayne Elliott – Chief Financial Officer; 
Phil Chronican – Chief Executive Officer, Australia; Andrew Géczy 
– Chief Executive Officer, International and Institutional Banking; 
David Hisco – Chief Executive Officer, New Zealand; Joyce Phillips – 
Chief Executive Officer, Global Wealth and Group Managing Director, 
Marketing, Innovation and Digital; Gilles Planté – Chief Executive 
Officer, Asia Pacific; Nigel Williams – Chief Risk Officer; Alistair Currie 
– Group Chief Operating Officer; Anne Weatherston – Chief 
Information Officer; and Susie Babani – Group Managing Director, 
Human Resources. 

Typically, a sub-group of Management Board meets every week 
with all Management Board members meeting each month to 
discuss business performance, review shared initiatives and build 
collaboration and synergy across the Group.

Professional intermediaries may be used from time to time 
where deemed necessary and appropriate to assist in the process 
of identifying and considering potential candidates for Board 
membership. 

Board Composition, Selection and Appointment 

The Board strives to achieve an appropriate mix of skills, tenure, 
experience and diversity among its Directors. Details regarding each 
Director in office at the date of this Annual Report can be found on 
pages 52 to 55.

The Governance Committee (see page 62) has been delegated 
responsibility to review and make recommendations to the Board 
regarding Board composition, and to assist in relation to the Director 
nomination process.

The Governance Committee conducts an annual review of the size 
and composition of the Board, to assess whether there is a need for 
any new Non-Executive Director appointments. This review takes the 
following factors into account:
 } relevant guidelines/legislative requirements in relation to 

Board composition; 

 } Board membership requirements as articulated in the Board 

Charter; and

 } other considerations including ANZ’s strategic goals and the 
importance of having appropriate diversity within the Board 
including in relation to matters such as skills, tenure, experience, 
age and gender.

The overarching guiding principle is that the Board’s composition 
should reflect an appropriate mix having regard to the 
following matters:
 } specialist skill representation relating to both functions (such as 

accounting/finance, law and technology) and industry background 
(such as banking/financial services, retail and professional services);

 } tenure; 
 } Board experience (amongst the members of the Board, there 

should be a significant level of familiarity with formal Board and 
Governance processes and a considerable period of time previously 
spent working at senior level within one or more organisations of 
significant size); 

 } age spread; 
 } diversity in general (including gender diversity); and
 } geographic experience.

Other matters for explicit consideration by the Committee 
are personal qualities, communication capabilities, ability 
and commitment to devote appropriate time to the task, the 
complementary nature of the distinctive contribution each Director 
might make, professional reputation and community standing.

Nominations may be provided from time to time by a Board 
member to the Chair of the Governance Committee. The Chair of the 
Governance Committee maintains a list of nominees to assist the 
Board in the succession planning process. 

Where there is a need for any new appointments, a formal assessment 
of nominees will be conducted by the members of the Governance 
Committee and should be documented by the Committee Chair. In 
assessing nominees, the Governance Committee has regard to the 
principles set out above.

If found suitable, potential candidates are recommended to the 
Board. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for approaching 
potential candidates.

The Committee also reviews and recommends the process for 
the election of the Chairman of the Board and reviews succession 
planning for the Chairman of the Board, making recommendations 
to the Board as appropriate.

Appointment Documentation
Each new Non-Executive Director receives an appointment letter 
accompanied by a:
 } Directors’ handbook – the handbook includes information on a 

broad range of matters relating to the role of a Director, including 
details of all applicable policies; and

 } Directors’ Deed – each Director signs a Deed in a form approved 

by shareholders at the 2005 Annual General Meeting which covers 
a number of issues including indemnity, directors’ and officers’ 
liability insurance, the right to obtain independent advice and 
requirements concerning confidential information.

Undertaking Induction Training
Every new Director takes part in a formal induction program which 
involves the provision of information regarding ANZ’s values and 
culture, the Group’s governance framework, the Non-Executive 
Directors Code of Conduct and Ethics, Director related policies, 
Board and Committee policies, processes and key issues, financial 
management and business operations. Briefings are also provided 
by Senior Management about matters concerning their areas 
of responsibility.

Meeting Share qualification 
Non-Executive Directors are required to accumulate within five years 
of appointment, and thereafter maintain, a holding in ANZ shares 
that is equivalent to at least 100% of a Non-Executive Director’s base 
fee (and 200% of this fee in the case of the Chairman).

Non-Executive Director Remuneration 
Details of the structure of the Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration 
(which is clearly distinguished from the structure of the remuneration 
of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives) are set out 
in the Remuneration Report on pages 39 to 41. 

The ANZ Directors’ Retirement Scheme was closed effective 
30 September 2005. Accrued entitlements were fixed on that date for 
Non-Executive Directors in office at the time who had the option to 
convert those entitlements into ANZ shares. Such entitlements, either 
in ANZ shares or cash, will be carried forward and transferred to the 
Non-Executive Director when they retire (including interest accrued 
at the 30 day bank bill rate for cash entitlements). Only three current 
Non-Executive Directors have entitlements under the Scheme, 
namely Messrs Morschel and Meiklejohn and Dr Clark. Further details 
are set out in the Remuneration Report.

Election at Next Annual General Meeting
Subject to the provisions of ANZ’s Constitution and the Corporations 
Act 2001, the Board may appoint a person as a Non-Executive 
Director of ANZ at any time but that person must retire and, if they 
wish to continue in that role, must seek election by shareholders at 
the next Annual General Meeting.

CORPORATE gOvERNANCE

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013CORPORATE gOvERNANCE (continued)

fit and Proper
ANZ has an effective and robust framework in place to ensure that 
individuals appointed to relevant senior positions within the APRA 
regulated entities of the Group have the appropriate fitness and 
propriety to properly discharge their prudential responsibilities on 
appointment and during the course of their appointment.

The framework, set out in ANZ’s Fit and Proper Policy for APRA 
Regulated Entities, addresses the requirements of APRA’s Fit and 
Proper Prudential Standards. It involves assessments being carried 
out for each Director, relevant senior executives and the lead partner 
of ANZ’s external auditor prior to a new appointment to an APRA 
regulated entity being made. These assessments are carried out 
against a benchmark of documented competencies which have been 
prepared for each role, and also involve attestations being completed 
by each individual, as well as the obtaining of evidence of material 
qualifications and the carrying out of checks such as criminal record, 
bankruptcy and regulatory disqualification checks. These assessments 
are reviewed thereafter on an annual basis.

The Governance Committee and the Board have responsibility for 
assessing the fitness and propriety of the Company’s Non-Executive 
Directors. The Human Resources Committee has primary responsibility 
for assessing the fitness and propriety of the Chief Executive Officer 
and key senior executives, and the Audit Committee carries out 
assessments of the fitness and propriety of the external auditor.

Fit and Proper assessments were successfully carried out in respect of 
each Non-Executive Director, the Chief Executive Officer, key senior 
executives and the external auditor during the 2013 financial year. 

Director Independence 
Under ANZ’s Board Charter, the Board must include a majority of 
Non-Executive Directors who satisfy ANZ’s criteria for independence.

The Board Charter sets out criteria that are considered in order 
to determine whether a Non-Executive Director is to be regarded 
as independent.

All Non-Executive Directors are required to notify the Chairman 
before accepting any new outside appointment. The Chairman will 
review the proposed new appointment and will consider the issue 
on an individual basis and, where applicable, also the issue of more 
than one Director serving on the same outside board or other body. 
When carrying out the review, the Chairman will consider whether 
the proposed new appointment is likely to impair the Director’s 
ability to devote the necessary time and focus to their role as an 
ANZ Director and, where it will involve more than one ANZ Director 
serving on an outside board or other entity, whether that would 
create an unacceptable risk to the effective operation of the ANZ 
Board. Non-Executive Directors are not to accept a new outside 
appointment until confirmed with the Chairman who will consult the 
other Directors as the Chairman deems appropriate.

In the 2013 financial year, the Governance Committee conducted 
its annual review of the criteria for independence against the ASX 
Governance Principles and APRA Prudential Standards, as well as 
US director independence requirements. 

ANZ’s criteria are more comprehensive than those set in many 
jurisdictions including in particular the additional criteria stipulated 
specifically for Audit Committee members in the Audit Committee 
Charter. Further details of the criteria and review process are set out 
in the Corporate Governance section of ANZ’s website.

58

In summary, a relationship with ANZ is regarded as material if a 
reasonable person in the position of a Non-Executive Director of ANZ 
would expect there to be a real and sensible possibility that it would 
influence a Director’s mind in:
 } making decisions on matters likely to come regularly before the 

Board or its Committees;

 } objectively assessing information and advice given by Management;
 } setting policy for general application across ANZ; and 
 } generally carrying out the performance of his or her role as 

a Director.

During 2013, the Board reviewed each Non-Executive Director’s 
independence and concluded that the independence criteria were 
met by each Non-Executive Director.

Directors’ biographies on pages 52 to 55 and on anz.com highlight 
their major associations outside ANZ.

Conflicts of Interest
Over and above the issue of independence, each Director has a 
continuing responsibility to determine whether he or she has a 
potential or actual conflict of interest in relation to any material 
matter which relates to the affairs of ANZ. Such a situation may arise 
from external associations, interests or personal relationships.

Under the Directors Disclosure of Interest Protocol and Procedures for 
Handling Conflicts of Interest, a Director may not exercise any influence 
over the Board if an actual or potential conflict of interest exists.

In such circumstances, unless a majority of other Directors who do 
not have an interest in the matter resolve to the contrary, the Director 
may not be present for Board deliberations on the subject, and may 
not vote on any related Board resolutions. In addition, the Director 
may not receive relevant Board papers. These matters, should they 
occur, are recorded in the Board minutes.

Independent Advice
In order to assist Directors in fulfilling their responsibilities, each 
Director has the right (with the prior approval of the Chairman) 
to seek independent professional advice regarding his/her 
responsibilities, at the expense of ANZ. In addition, the Board and 
each principal Committee, at the expense of ANZ, may obtain 
whatever professional advice it requires to assist in its work.

Tenure and Retirement
ANZ’s Constitution, consistent with the ASX Listing Rules, provides 
that a Non-Executive Director must seek re-election by shareholders 
every three years if they wish to continue in their role as a 
Non-Executive Director.

In addition, ANZ’s Board Renewal and Performance Evaluation 
Protocol confirms that Non-Executive Directors will retire once they 
have served a maximum of three 3-year terms after first being elected 
by shareholders, unless invited by the Board to extend their tenure 
due to special circumstances. 

Continuing Education
ANZ Directors take part in a range of training and continuing 
education programs. In addition to a formal induction program (see 
page 57), Directors also receive regular bulletins designed to keep 
them abreast of matters relating to their duties and responsibilities 
as Directors.

Each Committee also conducts its own continuing education sessions 
from time to time as appropriate. Internal and/or external experts 
are engaged to conduct all education sessions. Directors also receive 
regular business briefings at Board meetings. These briefings are 
intended to provide Directors with information on each area of ANZ’s 
business, in particular regarding performance, key issues, risks and 
strategies for growth. In addition, Directors have the opportunity to 
participate in site visits from time to time.

Access in relation to Directors
Management is able to consult Directors as required. Employees have 
access to the Directors directly or through the Company Secretary. 
Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Directors may direct 
correspondence to a particular Director, or to the Non-Executive 
Directors as a whole.

Directors have unrestricted access to Management and, in addition 
to the regular presentations made by Management to Board and 
Board Committee meetings, Directors may seek briefings or other 
additional information from Management on specific matters where 
appropriate. The Company Secretary also provides advice and 
support to the Directors as required.

Role of Company Secretary

The Board is responsible for the appointment of ANZ’s Company 
Secretaries. The Board has appointed two Company Secretaries. 
The Group General Counsel provides legal advice to the Board as and 
when required. He works closely with the Chair of the Governance 
Committee and the Company Secretary to develop and maintain 
ANZ’s corporate governance principles, and is responsible to the 
Board for the Company Secretary’s Office function.

The Company Secretary is responsible for the day-to-day 
operations of the Company Secretary’s Office including lodgements 
with relevant Securities Exchanges and other regulators, the 
administration of Board and Board Committee meetings (including 
preparation of meeting minutes), the management of dividend 
payments and associated share plans, and oversight of the 
relationship with ANZ’s Share Registrar.

Profiles of ANZ’s Company Secretaries can be found in the Directors’ 
Report on pages 9 to 10.

Performance Evaluations

Non-Executive Directors
The framework used to evaluate the performance of Non-Executive 
Directors is based on the expectation that they are performing 
their duties:
 } in the interests of shareholders;
 } in a manner that recognises the great importance that ANZ places 

on the values of honesty, integrity, quality and trust;

 } in accordance with the duties and obligations imposed upon them 

by ANZ’s Constitution, ANZ’s Non-Executive Directors Code of 
Conduct and Ethics, and the law; and

 } having due regard to ANZ’s corporate sustainability objectives, and 
the importance of ANZ’s relationships with all its stakeholders and 
the communities and environments in which ANZ operates.

The performance criteria also take into account the Non-Executive 
Director’s contribution to:
 } charting the direction, strategy and financial objectives of ANZ;
 } monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements and 

ethical standards;

 } monitoring and assessing Management’s performance in achieving 

strategies and budgets approved by the Board;

 } setting criteria for and evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s 

performance; and

 } the regular and continuing review of executive succession planning 

and executive development activities.

The performance evaluation process is set out in ANZ’s Board 
Renewal and Performance Evaluation Protocol.

Performance evaluations of the Non-Executive Directors are 
conducted in two ways:
 } Annual review – on an annual basis, or more frequently if 

appropriate, the Chairman has a one-on-one meeting with each 
Non-Executive Director specifically addressing the performance 
criteria including compliance with the Non-Executive Directors 
Code of Conduct and Ethics. To assist the effectiveness of these 
meetings, the Chairman is provided with objective information 
about each Director (e.g. number of meetings attended, Committee 
memberships, other current directorships/roles etc) and a guide for 
discussion to ensure consistency. When considering the Director’s 
meeting attendance record during the previous year and also their 
other roles outside ANZ, the Chairman reviews generally whether 
the Director has sufficient time to properly carry out their duties as 
an ANZ Director and more specifically whether they are making a 
sufficient time commitment to their role at and outside meetings. 
A report on the outcome of these performance evaluations is 
provided to the Governance Committee and to the Board; and

 } Re-election statement – when nominating for re-election, 

Non-Executive Directors are given the opportunity to submit a 
written or oral statement to the Board setting out their reasons for 
seeking re-election. In the Non-Executive Director’s absence, the 
Board evaluates this statement (having regard to the performance 
criteria) and also considers their capacity to commit the necessary 
time to their role as a Director before deciding whether to endorse 
the relevant Director’s re-election. 

CORPORATE gOvERNANCE  

  59

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013CORPORATE gOvERNANCE (continued)

Chairman of the Board
An annual review of the performance of the Chairman of the Board 
is facilitated by the Chair of the Governance Committee who seeks 
input from each Director individually on the performance of the 
Chairman of the Board against the competencies for the Chairman’s 
role approved by the Board.

Senior Management 
Details of how the performance evaluation process is undertaken 
by the Board in respect of the Chief Executive Officer and other 
key Senior Management, including how financial, customer, 
operational and qualitative measures are assessed, are set out in 
the Remuneration Report on pages 30 to 39. 

The Chair of the Governance Committee collates the input in order to 
provide an overview report to the Governance Committee and to the 
Board, as well as feedback to the Chairman of the Board.

The Board
On a periodic basis, the performance of the Board is assessed using 
an independent external facilitator. The facilitator seeks input from 
each Director and certain members of senior management when 
carrying out the assessment.

The assessment is conducted in accordance with broad terms of 
reference agreed by the Governance Committee. The results of 
such assessment are discussed with the Chair of the Governance 
Committee and together with any recommendations, are presented 
to the Governance Committee and the Board. The last externally 
facilitated review took place in 2011, and it is expected that externally 
facilitated reviews of the Board will occur approximately every 
three years. The review process in the intervening years (including 
with respect to the year ended 30 September 2013) is conducted 
internally based on input sought from each Director and also 
members of the Management Board, and considers progress against 
any recommendations implemented arising from the most recent 
externally facilitated review, together with any new issues that may 
have arisen.

During the year, the Governance Committee considers assessments 
by a number of independent bodies regarding the Board and its 
performance. The Chair of the Governance Committee reports any 
material issues or findings from these evaluations to the Board. 

Board Committees
Each of the principal Board Committees conducts an annual 
Committee performance self-assessment to review performance 
using Guidelines approved by the Governance Committee. 
The Guidelines set out that at a minimum, the self-assessments 
should review and consider the following:
 } the Committee’s performance having regard to its role and 

responsibilities as set out in its Charter;

 } whether the Committee’s Charter is fit for purpose, or whether 

any changes are required; and 

 } the identification of future topics for training/education of 

the Committee.

The outcomes of the performance self-assessments are reported 
to the Governance Committee (or to the Board, if there are any 
material issues relating to the Governance Committee) for discussion 
and noting.

Review Processes Undertaken
Board, Director, Board Committee and relevant Senior Management 
evaluations in accordance with the above processes have been 
undertaken in respect of the 2013 financial year.

Board Committees

As set out on page 56 of this Statement, the Board has the ability 
under its Constitution to delegate its powers and responsibilities 
to Committees of the Board. This allows the Board to spend 
additional and more focused time on specific issues. The Board has 
five principal Board Committees: Audit Committee, Governance 
Committee, Human Resources Committee, Risk Committee and 
Technology Committee.

Membership and Attendance
Each of the principal Board Committees is comprised solely of 
independent Non-Executive Directors (a minimum of three is 
required), has its own Charter and has the power to initiate any 
special investigations it deems necessary. Board Committee 
composition is reviewed annually.

The Chairman is an ex-officio member of each principal Board 
Committee but does not chair any of the Committees. The Chief 
Executive Officer is invited to attend Board Committee meetings as 
appropriate. His presence is not automatic, however, and he does not 
attend where his remuneration is considered or discussed, nor does 
he attend the Non-Executive Director private sessions of Committees 
unless invited. Non-Executive Directors may attend any meeting of 
any Committee.

Each Board Committee may, within the scope of its responsibilities, 
have unrestricted access to Management, employees and information 
it considers relevant to the carrying out of its responsibilities under 
its Charter.

Each Board Committee may require the attendance of any ANZ officer 
or employee, or request the attendance of any external party, at 
meetings as appropriate.

60

Under the Committee Charter, all members of the Audit Committee 
must be appropriately financially literate. Mr Meiklejohn (Chair), 
Ms Dwyer and Ms Watkins were determined to be ‘financial experts’ 
during the 2013 financial year under the definition set out in 
the Audit Committee Charter. While the Board determined that 
Mr Meiklejohn, Ms Dwyer and Ms Watkins each have the necessary 
attributes to be a ‘financial expert’ in accordance with the relevant 
requirements, it is important to note that this does not give rise 
to Mr Meiklejohn, Ms Dwyer or Ms Watkins having responsibilities 
additional to those of other members of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee meets with the external auditor and internal 
auditor without Management being present. The Chair of the Audit 
Committee meets separately and regularly with Global Internal Audit, 
the external auditor and Management.

The Deputy Chief Financial Officer is the executive responsible 
for assisting the Chair of the Committee in connection with the 
administration and efficient operation of the Committee.

Substantive areas of focus in the 2013 financial year included: 
 } Global Internal Audit and External Audit – the Committee approved 

the annual plans for Global Internal Audit and External Audit 
and kept progress against those plans under regular review. 
Adjustments to the Global Internal Audit Plan were made during 
the year to accommodate changing circumstances, risk profiles 
and business unit requests; 

 } Accounting and regulatory developments – reports on 

developments were provided to the Committee outlining relevant 
changes and implications for ANZ; 

 } Financial Reporting Governance Program – the Committee 

monitored the financial reporting process and the controls in 
place to ensure the integrity of the financial statements; 
 } Whistleblowing – the Committee received and reviewed 
information on disclosures made under ANZ’s Global 
Whistleblower Protection Policy; and

 } Charter Review – the Committee reviewed and recommended to 

the Governance Committee for approval proposed changes to the 
Audit Committee Charter.

Meetings
Prior to the commencement of each year, each principal Board 
Committee prepares a calendar of business which details the items to 
be included on the agenda for each scheduled Committee meeting 
in the coming year. In addition, any training/education topics that 
have been identified as part of the Committee’s annual performance 
self-assessment process are also included in the calendar. In advance 
of each Board Committee meeting, at least one planning session 
is held by the Committee Chair with relevant internal and external 
stakeholders to ensure that all emerging issues are also captured in 
the agenda for the forthcoming meeting as appropriate.

credit, equity and other investment, financial, operational, liquidity 
and reputational risk management and for the oversight of the 
management of ANZ’s compliance obligations.

Technology Committee 
The Technology Committee assists the Board in the effective 
discharge of its responsibilities in relation to technology and related 
operations. The Committee is responsible for: 
 } monitoring that appropriate key technology related controls are 

in place; 

 } approving the technology strategy of ANZ; 
 } making recommendations to the Board regarding and monitoring 

material technology investments; 

 } reviewing and monitoring the progress of the strategic and 

operating plans for the management and control of technology 
activities and services; and

 } the approval and monitoring of ANZ’s information and technology 

security strategy.

The Chief Information Officer is the executive responsible for assisting 
the Chair of the Committee in connection with the administration 
and efficient operation of the Committee. 

Substantive areas of focus in the 2013 financial year included: 
 } Operational performance and major projects – the Committee 

reviewed reports on operational performance (including service 
and systems stability and performance) and monitored the 
progress of major projects;

delivering the business investment agenda; and 

 } Information Security – the Committee monitored the continuing 
process of improving information security capability to address 
constantly evolving security threats and increasing regulatory 
requirements. 

Additional Committees 
In addition to the five principal Board Committees, the Board has 
constituted an Executive Committee and a Shares Committee, each 
consisting solely of Directors, to assist in carrying out specific tasks.

The Executive Committee has the full power of the Board and is 
convened as necessary between regularly scheduled Board meetings 
to deal with urgent matters. The Shares Committee has the power 
to manage on behalf of the Board the issue of shares and options 
(including under ANZ’s Employee Share Acquisition Plan and Share 
Option Plan). The Board also forms and delegates authority to 
ad-hoc Committees of the Board as and when needed to carry out 
specific tasks. 

Audit and Financial Governance

Global Internal Audit
Global Internal Audit is a function independent of Management and 
its role is to provide the Board and Management with an efficient and 
independent appraisal of the internal controls established by ANZ’s 
first (business) and second (Group and Divisional risk and finance 
functions) lines of defence. Operating under a Board approved 
Charter, the reporting line for the outcomes of work conducted by 
Global Internal Audit is directly and solely to the Chair of the Audit 
Committee, with a direct communication line to the Chief Executive 
Officer and the external auditor. 

The Global Internal Audit Plan is developed utilising a risk based 
approach and is refreshed on a quarterly basis. The Audit Committee 
approves the plan, the associated budget and any changes thereto.

All audit activities are conducted in accordance with ANZ policies 
and values, as well as local and international auditing standards 
promulgated by the professional auditing bodies, and the results 
thereof are reported to the Audit Committee, Risk Committee and 
Management. These results influence the performance assessment 
of business heads.

Furthermore, Global Internal Audit monitors the remediation of audit 
issues and highlights the current status of any outstanding audits.

External Audit
The external auditor’s role is to provide an independent opinion that 
ANZ’s financial reports are true and fair and comply with applicable 
regulations. The external auditor performs an independent audit in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. The Audit Committee 
oversees ANZ’s Stakeholder Engagement Model for Relationship with 
the External Auditor. Under the Stakeholder Engagement Model, 
the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment (subject to 
ratification by shareholders) and also the compensation, retention 
and oversight of the external auditor.

The Stakeholder Engagement Model also stipulates that the 
Audit Committee:
 } pre-approves all audit, audit related and non-audit services on 
an engagement by engagement basis or pursuant to specific 
pre-approval policies adopted by the Committee;

 } regularly reviews the independence of the external auditor; and
 } evaluates the effectiveness of the external auditor.

The Stakeholder Engagement Model also requires that all services 
provided by the external auditor, including the non-audit services 
that may be provided by the external auditor, must be in accordance 
with the following principles:
 } the external auditor should not have a mutual or conflicting 

interest with ANZ;

 } the external auditor should not audit its own work;
 } the external auditor should not function as part of Management or 

as an employee; and

 } the external auditor should not act as an advocate of ANZ.

64

The Stakeholder Engagement Model, which sets out in detail the 
types of services the external auditor may and may not provide, can 
be found on the Corporate Governance section of anz.com.

Details of the non-audit services provided by the external auditor, 
KPMG, during the 2013 financial year, including their dollar value, 
together with the statement from the Board as to their satisfaction 
with KPMG’s compliance with the related independence requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001, are set out in the Directors’ Report 
on page 10. In addition, the auditor has provided an independence 
declaration under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001.

ANZ requires a two year period before any former partner or 
employee of the external auditor is appointed as a Director or senior 
executive of ANZ. The lead partner of the external auditor is required 
to rotate off the audit after five years and cannot return for a further 
five years. Certain other senior audit staff are required to rotate off 
after a maximum of seven years. Any appointments of ex-partners or 
ex-employees of the external auditor as ANZ finance staff, at senior 
manager level or higher, must be pre-approved by the Chair of the 
Audit Committee.

financial Controls
The Audit Committee oversees ANZ’s financial reporting policies and 
controls, the integrity of ANZ’s financial statements, the relationship 
with the external auditor, the work of Global Internal Audit, and the 
audit committees of various significant subsidiary companies.

ANZ maintains a financial governance framework which evaluates 
the design and tests the operational effectiveness of key financial 
reporting controls. In addition, half-yearly certifications are 
completed by Senior Management, including senior finance 
executives. These certifications comprise representations and 
questions about financial results, disclosures, processes and controls 
and are aligned with ANZ’s external obligations. 

Any material issues arising from the evaluation and testing 
are reported to the Audit Committee. This process assists the 
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in making the 
certifications to the Board under the Corporations Act and ASX 
Governance Principles as referred to in the Directors’ Report on 
page 10.

Ethical and Responsible Decision-making

Codes of Conduct and Ethics
ANZ has two main Codes of Conduct and Ethics, the Employee 
Code and the Non-Executive Directors Code. These Codes provide 
employees and Directors with a practical set of guiding principles to 
help them make decisions in their day to day work. Having two Codes 
recognises the different responsibilities that Directors have under law 
but enshrines the same values and principles.

The Codes embody honesty, integrity, quality and trust, and 
employees and Directors are required to demonstrate these 
behaviours and comply with the Codes whenever they are identified 
as representatives of ANZ.

The principles underlying ANZ’s Codes of Conduct and Ethics are: 
 } we act in ANZ’s best interests and value ANZ’s reputation;
 } we act with honesty and integrity;
 } we treat others with respect, value difference and maintain a safe 

working environment;

 } we identify conflicts of interest and manage them responsibly; 
 } we respect and maintain privacy and confidentiality;
 } we do not make or receive improper payments, benefits or gains; 
 } we comply with the Codes, the law and ANZ’s policies and 

procedures; and

 } we immediately report any breaches of the Codes, the law or 

ANZ policies and procedures.

The Codes are supported by the following detailed policies that 
together form ANZ’s Conduct and Ethics Policy Framework:
 } ANZ Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism 

Financing Policy; 

 } ANZ Use of Systems, Equipment and Information Policy;
 } ANZ Fraud Policy; 
 } ANZ Expenses Policy;
 } ANZ Equal Opportunity, Bullying and Harassment Policy;
 } ANZ Health and Safety Policy;
 } Conflict of Interest Policy;
 } Trading in ANZ Securities Policy;
 } Trading in Non-ANZ Securities Policy; 
 } ANZ Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy; and
 } ANZ Whistleblower Protection Policy.

Leaders are encouraged to run sessions for new direct reports and 
ensure they, in turn, brief their teams where required on ANZ’s 
values and ethical decision making within the team. The sessions 
are designed to build line manager capability, equipping ANZ 
leaders and their teams with tools and knowledge to make carefully 
considered, values-based and ethical business decisions and to create 
team behaviour standards that are in line with the ANZ Values. 

Within two months of starting work with ANZ, and thereafter on 
an annual basis, all employees are required to complete a training 
course that takes each employee through the eight Code principles 
and a summary of their obligations under each of the policies in the 
Conduct and Ethics Policy Framework. Employees are required to 
declare that they have read, understand and have complied with the 
principles of the Employee Code, including key relevant extracts of 
the policies set out above.

CORPORATE gOvERNANCE  

  65

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013CORPORATE gOvERNANCE (continued)

To support the Employee Code of Conduct and Ethics, ANZ’s 
Performance Improvement and Unacceptable Behaviour Policy sets 
out the process to be followed to determine whether the Code has 
been breached and the consequences that should be applied to 
employees who are found to have breached the Code. Under the 
ANZ Global Performance Management Framework, any breach of the 
Code that leads to a consequence (such as a warning) will result in an 
unacceptable risk/compliance/behaviour flag being given at the time 
of the performance assessment. A flag must be taken into account 
when determining an employee’s performance and remuneration 
outcome and will almost always negatively impact those outcomes 
for the financial year in question.

Directors’ compliance with the Non-Executive Directors Code 
continues to form part of their annual performance review.

Securities Trading
The Trading in ANZ Securities Policy prohibits trading in ANZ 
securities by all employees, Directors and contractors who are aware 
of information that could be reasonably expected to have a material 
or significant effect on the price or value of an ANZ security and 
which is not generally available.

The Policy specifically prohibits certain ‘restricted persons’ (which 
includes ANZ Directors, senior executives and their associates) from 
trading in ANZ securities during ‘blackout periods’ as defined in 
the Policy. The Policy also provides that certain types of trading are 
excluded from the operation of the trading restrictions under the 
Policy, and for exceptional circumstances where trading may be 
permitted during a prohibited period with prior written clearance.

ANZ Directors are required to obtain written approval from the 
Chairman in advance before they or their associates trade in ANZ 
securities. The Chairman of the Board is required to seek written 
approval from the Chair of the Audit Committee. Senior executives 
and other restricted persons are also required to obtain written 
approval before they, or their associates, trade in ANZ securities.

The Policy also prohibits employees from hedging interests that have 
been granted under any ANZ employee equity plan that are either 
unvested or subject to a holding lock. 

ANZ Directors and Management Board members are also prohibited 
from using ANZ securities in connection with a margin loan or similar 
financing arrangement which may be subject to a margin call or 
loan-to-value ratio breach.

whistleblower Protection
The ANZ Global Whistleblower Protection Policy provides a 
mechanism by which ANZ employees and contractors can 
raise concerns regarding actual or suspected contraventions of 
ANZ’s ethical and legal standards without fear of victimisation 
or disadvantage.

Complaints may be made under the Policy to Managers, designated 
Whistleblower Protection Officers, or via an independently managed 
Whistleblower hotline.

Commitment to Shareholders

Shareholders are the owners of ANZ and the approaches described 
below are enshrined in ANZ’s Shareholder Charter, a copy of which 
can be found on the Corporate Governance section of anz.com.

Communication
In order to make informed decisions about ANZ, and to communicate 
views to ANZ, it is important for shareholders to have an 
understanding of ANZ’s business operations and performance.

ANZ encourages shareholders to take an active interest in ANZ, 
and seeks to provide shareholders with quality information in 
a timely fashion through ANZ’s reporting of results, the Annual 
Report, the Shareholder Review, announcements and briefings to 
the market, half yearly newsletters and via its dedicated shareholder 
site on anz.com. ANZ strives for transparency in all its business 
practices, and recognises the impact of quality disclosure on the 
trust and confidence of shareholders, the wider investor market and 
the community. To this end, ANZ, outside of its scheduled results 
announcements, issued additional Trading Updates to the market 
during the 2013 financial year.

Should shareholders require any information, contact details for 
ANZ and its Share Registrar are set out in ANZ’s Annual Report, the 
2013 Shareholder Review, the half yearly shareholder newsletter and 
the Shareholder centre section of anz.com.

Meetings
To allow as many shareholders as possible to have an opportunity 
to attend shareholder meetings, ANZ rotates meetings around 
capital cities and makes them available to be viewed online using 
webcast technology.

Further details on meetings and presentations held throughout this 
financial year are available on anz.com > About us > Shareholder 
centre > Menu > Investor guide > Investor presentations. Prior to the 
Annual General Meeting, shareholders are given the opportunity to 
submit any questions they have for the Chairman or Chief Executive 
Officer to enable key common themes to be considered.

The external auditor is present at ANZ Annual General Meetings 
and available to answer shareholder questions on any matter that 
concerns them in their capacity as auditor.

Directors are also required to attend the Annual General Meeting 
each year, barring unusual circumstances, and be available afterwards 
to meet with and answer questions from shareholders.

Shareholders have the right to vote on various resolutions related 
to company matters. Shareholders are encouraged to attend and 
participate in meetings but, if shareholders are unable to attend 
a meeting, they can submit their proxies via post or electronically. 
Where votes are taken on a poll, which is usual ANZ practice, 
shareholders are able to cast their votes on a confidential basis. 
ANZ appoints an independent party to verify the results, normally 
KPMG, which are reported as soon as possible to the ASX and posted 
on anz.com.

66

Continuous Disclosure

ANZ’s practice is to release price-sensitive information to the ASX in 
a timely manner as required under the ASX Listing Rules and then to 
all relevant overseas Securities Exchanges on which ANZ’s securities 
are listed, and to the market and community generally through ANZ’s 
media releases, website and other appropriate channels.

Through ANZ’s Continuous Disclosure Policy, ANZ demonstrates its 
commitment to achieving best practice in terms of disclosure by 
acting in accordance with the spirit, intention and purposes of the 
applicable regulatory requirements and by looking beyond form to 
substance. The Policy reflects relevant obligations under applicable 
securities exchange listing rules and legislation. 

For disclosure purposes, price-sensitive information is information 
that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect 
on the price or value of ANZ’s securities. Designated Disclosure 
Officers have responsibility for reviewing proposed disclosures and 
making decisions in relation to what information can be or should 
be disclosed to the market. Each ANZ employee is required to 
inform a Disclosure Officer regarding any potentially price-sensitive 
information concerning ANZ as soon as they become aware of it.

A committee of senior executives (the Continuous Disclosure 
Review Sub-Committee) also meets on a regular basis to review 
the effectiveness of ANZ’s systems and procedures for achieving 
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements in relation to the 
disclosure of price-sensitive information. This Sub-Committee reports 
to the Governance Committee of the Board on an annual basis.

Corporate Sustainability
ANZ aims to be a role model for responsible business growth and 
behaviour as it pursues its goal of becoming a super regional bank. 
ANZ’s purpose is to achieve sustainable growth and prosperity for 
its customers, shareholders and people and the communities in 
which ANZ operates. ANZ’s well established Corporate Sustainability 
Framework, launched in 2009, supports its purpose. 

During 2013, ANZ reviewed its Corporate Sustainability Framework, 
taking into account issues of importance to ANZ and its stakeholders 
and the areas in which it can achieve greatest impact. Following 
review, ANZ’s realigned framework distinguishes between ‘Enhanced 
Value’ – areas of the sustainability agenda distinctive to ANZ that could 
offer competitive advantage – and fundamental responsibilities that 
determine ANZ’s ‘Licence to Operate’. 

Enhanced Value contributes to ANZ’s commercial value and is 
delivered through:
 } Sustainable development – integrating social and environment 
considerations into business decisions, products and services to 
help customers achieve their sustainability ambitions and deliver 
long term value for stakeholders. 

  Working with institutional and commercial clients in this way 

benefits ANZ customers, strengthens business relationships and 
opportunities and reduces ANZ’s reputational and commercial risk.

 } Diversity and inclusion – building the most diverse and inclusive 

workforce of any major bank in the region.

  ANZ employees come from more than 230 different cultural 
backgrounds. Diversity assists ANZ to innovate, identify new 
markets, connect with customers effectively and make better, more 
informed decisions. 

 } Financial inclusion and capability – building the financial capability 

of people across the region to promote financial inclusion and 
progression of individuals and communities. 

  Delivery of financial education programs to the employees of 

ANZ institutional and commercial clients strengthens business 
relationships and opportunities. Delivery to low income and 
excluded groups in many of the countries in which ANZ operates 
supports business expansion plans as financial inclusion and 
building financial capability is a policy aim of many governments. 
Financially capable retail customers hold more financial products. 

ANZ’s Licence to Operate activities include commitments to ensuring 
that ANZ’s customers, people and suppliers, and the communities 
and environment in which it operates, are treated in a manner 
befitting a responsible corporate citizen. 

The Corporate Sustainability and Diversity Committee is chaired 
by the Chief Executive Officer. It provides strategic leadership on 
ANZ’s corporate sustainability agenda and monitors progress and 
results. The Committee reports to the Management Board and 
Board Governance Committee. Each year, ANZ sets public targets 
and a business-wide program of work to respond to key issues and 
opportunities. This year ANZ achieved or made strong progress on 
80% of its public targets. Detail is reported in ANZ’s 2013 Shareholder 
Review and 2013 Corporate Sustainability Review.

In 2013 ANZ was again assessed the global banking sector leader in 
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). This is the sixth year in the 
past seven that ANZ has received this assessment. The Dow Jones 
Sustainability Index assessment tracks the approach and performance 
of companies across a broad range of criteria such as corporate 
governance, risk management, codes of conduct and compliance, 
environmental management and reporting, products and services, 
brand management, HR practices and policies, stakeholder 
engagement and community investment. ANZ performed strongly 
across all criteria, with particularly notable ratings for risk and brand 
management, policies and initiatives to create a diverse and highly 
engaged workforce and investment in building financial capability 
and inclusion in Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific.

ANZ keeps interested stakeholders abreast of sustainability 
developments through a monthly e-bulletin, and annual and interim 
Corporate Sustainability reporting. ANZ follows the guidelines of the 
Global Reporting Initiative for its full online corporate sustainability 
reporting. Detailed information on ANZ’s approach and results is 
available on anz.com > About us > Corporate Responsibility.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (continued)

Diversity at ANZ
Gender Balance and Diversity at ANZ
Having the best connected and most respected workforce is a key 
‘people’ foundation for achieving ANZ’s goals. ANZ is focused on 
attracting, valuing and capitalising on the inherent strength of 
a vibrant, diverse and inclusive team to innovate, connect with 
customers and make better, more informed decisions for its business. 

Gender Balance at Board, Senior Executive and 
Management Levels
ANZ’s Board currently comprises ten Directors including two women 
– 20% of the Board. This figure will increase to 25% following the 
retirement of two Non-Executive Directors at the time of the 2013 
AGM at which point the Board will comprise eight Directors. 

Ms Watkins and Ms Dwyer joined the Board as Non-Executive Directors 
in November 2008 and April 2012 respectively. Ms Watkins is Chair 
of the Human Resources Committee and a member of the Audit 
Committee and Governance Committee. Ms Dwyer is a member of the 
Audit Committee, Risk Committee and Human Resources Committee. 

The Board has a tenure policy which limits the period of service 
of a Non-Executive Director to three 3-year terms after first being 
elected by shareholders unless invited by the Board to extend their 
tenure due to special circumstances. In accordance with this policy, 
Mr Meiklejohn and Dr Clark will retire at the time of the 2013 AGM 
and Mr Morschel will retire following completion of the succession 
process relating to the Chairman of the Board. The objective 
previously set by the Board in relation to Board gender diversity 
was that the new Directors appointed to replace the retiring 

Directors would include at least one woman. This objective has been 
achieved as evidenced by the appointment of Ms Dwyer in April 
2012. The Board has now set a new objective which is to increase 
the number of women on the Board over time as vacancies arise 
following completion of the current succession process. 

ANZ has three women on its Management Board: the CEO Global 
Wealth & Group Managing Director Marketing, Innovation & Digital; 
the Chief Information Officer; and the Group Managing Director 
Human Resources. At Senior Executive and Executive levels, 22.2% 
of leadership positions are held by women. 

Overall representation of women in management remains relatively 
steady at 38.7% (including those on Parental Leave), and 44.3% in 
ANZ’s Australia Division. A low employment growth environment, 
together with challenges accessing balanced candidate pools in 
some geographic and some business areas has slowed ANZ’s progress 
in achieving its targets, however improvements in particular occurred 
at senior management from 28.1% to 30.6%. 

Targets and Progress for Improving Outcomes in 
Gender Equality
Annual public targets have been set for women in management 
since 2004. Progress and results for 2013 are set out below including 
a more detailed breakdown on progress in ANZ’s Senior Executive 
and Executive ranks, in line with work undertaken by the Male 
Champions of Change initiative to improve the consistency and detail 
of reporting on women in management in Australia. These senior 
roles typically involve leading countries, large businesses, operations 
or projects, and/or strategy, policy and governance in specific areas 
for the Group.

Leadership, Governance and Accountability
The ANZ Chairman is actively involved in the Australian Institute of 
Company Directors Chairmen’s Mentoring Program to advance more 
women into Board positions. CEO Michael Smith is a member of the 
Male Champions of Change program convened by the Australian 
Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, in April 2010. 
The program encourages and supports male CEOs and Directors 
to use their individual and collective influence to ensure the issues 
of gender equality and women’s representation in leadership are 
elevated on the national Australian business agenda.

The Human Resources Committee plays an important role in relation 
to ANZ’s people strategy, remuneration strategy and approach 
to gender balance and diversity. This includes annual reviews of 
progress on gender balance and diversity priorities (other than 
gender diversity matters in connection with the Board, which 
are the responsibility of the Governance Committee), succession 
planning and overall representation of women in management. 
The Human Resources Committee also reviews annual performance 
and remuneration outcomes to ensure there is no unconscious or 
systemic bias in related processes and outcomes.

Management Board sets annual CEO and Group shared targets 
for improving the representation of women in management, and 
creating a vibrant, diverse and inclusive culture. Progress is reviewed 
monthly and results inform performance bonus outcomes. 

The Corporate Sustainability and Diversity Committee which is 
chaired by the CEO and meets five times per year is responsible 
for advising the ANZ Board and Management Board on corporate 
sustainability and diversity, setting diversity strategies, policies and 
targets and monitoring progress. In 2013, the Committee determined 
that ‘Building the most diverse and inclusive workforce in our region’ 
should be one of three sustainability priorities to be pursued by ANZ 
over the coming years. 

Building a Vibrant, Diverse and Inclusive Workforce
ANZ has prioritised building a vibrant, diverse and inclusive work 
environment for all employees regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, 
cultural background, disability, religion, sexual orientation, marital 
status and caring responsibilities. 

In 2013, ANZ conducted a comprehensive review of its workforce 
diversity. The survey revealed that ANZ employees come from more 
than 230 different cultural backgrounds, 43% identify with an Asian 
cultural background and, regardless of gender or other diversity 
grouping, there are no material differences in levels of engagement. 
Globally, 88% of employees agreed or strongly agreed that their 
manager treats them with respect, while 89% agreed or strongly 
agreed ANZ is creating a workforce that is open and accepting of 
individual difference.

May 2013. ANZ will refresh its Indigenous Action Plan (formerly Reconciliation Action Plan) 
in December 2013, reporting on outcomes achieved through the current plan.

Prevention of Sex-Based Harassment and Discrimination
ANZ reviews its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policies and 
training annually to ensure they are up-to-date and proactively 
educating employees and their managers on harassment, bullying 
and victimisation for sex-based issues. All ANZ employees are 
required to complete EEO training on an annual basis, and reported 
incidents related to sexual harassment, bullying and victimisation for 
sex-based issues are carefully tracked and managed.

Recruitment, Progression and Development Practices
ANZ aims to achieve gender balance and diversity in its key 
recruitment, talent development and learning programs to ensure 
it is building a strong pipeline of men and women leaders for the 
future. For example, ANZ’s 2014 graduate intake is 50% women and 
24% of the total intake speaks an Asian language; one graduate 
has a self-disclosed disability and four graduates are from an 
Indigenous background. ANZ’s latest intake of the Generalist Banker 
accelerated development program has 45% women and 73% of 
all participants speak an Asian language. Of the participants in the 
Building Enterprise Talent program, 50% are women and 60% of all 
participants have had more than three years international experience. 
45% of participants in the Leadership Pathway training programs 
are women.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013Community Investment

ANZ has made a long term public commitment to invest in 
the communities in which it operates and contributed around 
$15.1 million in cash, time and in-kind services during the year ended 
30 September 2013. Adding ‘foregone revenue’ such as the cost of 
providing low or fee free accounts to government benefit recipients, 
ANZ’s total contribution amounted to over $65.1 million. 

Building financial inclusion and capability is a key element of ANZ’s 
Corporate Sustainability framework, targeting especially those 
in disadvantaged communities who are most at risk of financial 
exclusion. For this reason approximately $4.7 million was invested in 
programs designed to build money management skills and savings: 
Saver Plus, MoneyMinded and MoneyBusiness. MoneyMinded is 
the most widely used financial literacy program in Australia. In 2013 
MoneyMinded received a MoneySmart Award for “Outstanding 
Achievement” in the Community category, reflecting its effectiveness 
and the success of the corporate and community partnership 
approach to program delivery. 

MoneyMinded has been adapted for use in Asia and the Pacific 
and is now delivered in 17 countries in which ANZ operates. RMIT 
University estimates that since 2003, more than 240,000 people have 
completed MoneyMinded.

ANZ supports many community causes and organisations through 
its Giving, Investing, Volunteering and Emergency (GIVE) program. 
This highlights the ways ANZ contributes to local communities 
by giving donations to charities, investing in partnerships with 
community organisations, volunteering skills and time to support 
community causes and responding to emergencies through 
supporting disaster relief and recovery activities. This year ANZ 
contributed over $900,000 to communities affected by natural 
disasters in the locations in which it operates. 

ANZ offers all staff at least one day of paid volunteer leave per year 
to make a difference in their local communities. In the past year, 
ANZ staff volunteered more than 89,000 hours. A number of staff 
contribute to non-profit organisations through workplace giving, 
which ANZ matches dollar for dollar. 

Further details can be accessed at anz.com/cr.

Political Donations

For the year to 30 September 2013, ANZ donated $150,000 to the 
Liberal Party of Australia and $75,000 to the Australian Labor Party.

CORPORATE gOvERNANCE (continued)

Pay Equity
ANZ tracks progress in achieving pay equity across the organisation. 
The gender pay differential between males and females (based 
on like-for-like job size) continues to be minimal, with further 
reductions achieved in 2013. Annual reviews of ANZ’s performance 
and remuneration outcomes occur to ensure balance and parity, 
with absolute performance outcomes and relative performance 
assessments (which inform remuneration outcomes) being equitably 
applied between males and females.

Parental Leave and flexible work Arrangements 
ANZ offers flexible work arrangements, breaks from work and other 
support in special circumstances to help balance life priorities with 
work and to manage careers. Considerable work was completed 
in 2013 to enhance ANZ’s flexible working policies and support 
resources, and build awareness and profile of key leaders (male and 
female) who are role models of flexible working. The 2013 employee 
survey showed that 82% of employees believe ANZ supports their 
efforts to balance their work and personal commitments. 

Recognition and Support for Equality and Inclusion in 
ANZ’s Communities 
In 2013 ANZ was again assessed by the Dow Jones Sustainability 
Index as the leading bank globally, including specific recognition 
for its gender balance and diversity progress. ANZ also continues to 
be recognised as an Employer of Choice for Women by WGEA – the 
Australian Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency. In 
New Zealand ANZ was recognised by the United Nations Women 
National Committee for excellence in Equal Opportunity and 
Non-discrimination.

ANZ partners and/or participates in the Male Champions of Change 
initiative; Chief Executive Women; and Melbourne Business School’s 
Gender Equality Project. ANZ is a founding member of the annual 
Sustaining Women in Business conference and the Diversity Council 
of Australia; a member of Pride in Diversity and the Australian 
Network on Disability; and it supports the Australian Government’s 
‘Racism, it stops with me’ program.

future Goals
Building the most diverse and inclusive workforce of any major bank 
in our region.

2014 Gender Balance, Diversity and Inclusion Goals:

Improve employee engagement to at least 74%.

Improve perceptions of ‘values-based leadership’ amongst ANZ 
employees to at least 73%. 

Increase the representation of women in management by 1% 
and achieve gender balance in ANZ’s key recruitment, talent and 
leadership programs.

Employ 230 people through ANZ’s traineeships, graduate 
program and permanent employment from disadvantaged and 
under-represented groups to enhance diversity and support 
economic and social inclusion in ANZ’s communities.

Achieve 80% favourable perceptions of ‘Involvement and 
Empowerment’ in ANZ’s employee survey as a measure of ANZ’s 
progress in building a diverse and inclusive workforce.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  77

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1: Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking 
Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) 
for the year ended 30 September 2013 were authorised for issue in 
accordance with the resolution of the Directors on 8 November 2013.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these 
financial statements are set out below. These policies have been 
consistently applied by the Company and all Group entities for all 
years presented in these financial statements. 

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address 
of the Company’s registered office is ANZ Centre, Level 9, 833 Collins 
Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008.

The Company and Group are for-profit entities.

A) BASIS Of  PREPARATION

i) Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company and Group are general purpose 
financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
the relevant provisions of the Banking Act 1959, Australian Accounting 
Standards (AASs) and other authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations 
Act 2001.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are Standards and 
Interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board 
(IASB). IFRS forms the basis of AASs. The Group’s application of AASs 
ensures that the financial statements of the Company and Group comply 
with IFRS.

ii) Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of 
management judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect 
reported amounts and the application of accounting policies. 
Discussion of the critical accounting treatments, which include 
complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are covered in note 2. 
Such estimates and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

iii) Basis of measurement
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the 
historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are 
stated at their fair value: 
 } derivative financial instruments, including in the case of fair value 

hedging (refer note 1 (E)(ii)) the fair value adjustment on the 
underlying hedged exposure;
 } available-for-sale financial assets;
 } financial instruments held for trading; and
 } assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss.

In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts (AASB 
1038), life insurance liabilities are measured using the Margin on 
Services model.

In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits (AASB 119), 
defined benefit obligations are measured using the Projected Unit 
Credit Method.

iv) Changes in Accounting Policy and early adoptions
All new Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to 
annual reporting periods commencing on or before 1 October 2012 
have been applied to the Group effective from their required 
date of application. The initial application of these Standards and 
Interpretations has not had a material impact on the financial 
position or the financial results of the Group.

78

There has been no other change in accounting policy during the year.

v) Rounding
The Company is an entity of the kind referred to in Australian 
Securities and Investments Commission class order 98/100 dated 
10 July 1998 (as amended). Consequently, amounts in the financial 
statements have been rounded to the nearest million dollars, except 
where otherwise indicated.

vi) Comparatives
Certain amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified 
to conform with current period financial statement presentations.

During the current year the reporting treatment of chattel mortgages 
changed from ‘hire purchase’ to ‘term loans – non housing’ within 
the net loans and advances balance to better reflect the nature of 
the asset financing transactions. As a result, 30 September 2012 
hire purchase was reduced by $7,100 million; unearned income 
reduced by $994 million; and term loans – non housing increased by 
$6,106 million for both the Company and the Group. 

vii) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the 
financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries where it 
is determined that there is a capacity to control.

Control means the power to govern, directly or indirectly, the 
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits 
from its activities. All the facts of a particular situation are considered 
when determining whether control exists. Control is usually present 
when an entity has: 
 } power over more than one-half of the voting rights of the other 

entity; or

 } power to govern the financial and operating policies of the other 

entity; or

 } power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the 

board of directors or equivalent governing body; or 

 } power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of 

directors or equivalent governing body of the entity. 

In addition, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable 
or convertible are taken into account in determining whether 
control exists.

In relation to special purpose entities, control is deemed to 
exist where:
 } in substance, the majority of the residual risks and rewards from 

their activities accrue to the Group; or

 } in substance, the Group controls decision making powers so as to 
obtain the majority of the risks and rewards from their activities.

Further detail on special purpose entities is provided in note 2(iii).

The effect of all transactions between entities in the Group is eliminated.

Where subsidiaries have been sold or acquired during the year, their 
operating results have been included to the date of disposal or from 
the date of acquisition.

In the Company’s financial statements investments in subsidiaries are 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Associates
The Group applies the equity method of accounting for associates.

When a foreign operation is disposed, exchange differences are 
recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

The Group’s share of results of associates is included in the 
consolidated income statement. Shares in associates are carried in the 
consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group’s share of changes 
in post-acquisition net assets less accumulated impairment. Interests 
in associates are reviewed for any indication of impairment at least 
at each reporting date. Where an indication of impairment exists 
the recoverable amount of the associate is determined based on the 
higher of the associate’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. 
A discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology and other methodologies 
such as the capitalisation of earnings methodology (CEM) are used to 
determine the resonableness of the recoverable amount calculation.

In the Company’s financial statements, investments in associates are 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

viii) foreign currency translation

functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s 
entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional 
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of 
the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities resulting from foreign currency 
transactions are subsequently translated at the spot rate at 
reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items 
or on translating monetary items at rates different to those at which 
they were initially recognised or included in a previous financial 
report, are recognised in the income statement in the period in which 
they arise.

Translation differences on non-monetary items measured at fair value 
through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or 
loss on these items. 

Translation differences on non-monetary items measured at fair 
value through equity, such as equities classified as available-for-sale 
financial assets, are included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity. 

Translation to presentation currency
The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of 
which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy), that have a 
functional currency different from the Group’s presentation currency, 
are translated into the Group’s presentation currency as follows:
 } assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at 

reporting date;

 } revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange 
rate for the period, unless this average is not a reasonable 
approximation of the rate prevailing on transaction date, in which 
case revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate 
ruling at transaction date; and

 } all resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign 

currency translation reserve.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation is treated as 
an asset of the foreign operation and translated at the rate ruling at 
reporting date.

B) INCOME RECOGNITION

i) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest 
rate method.

The effective interest rate method calculates the amortised cost of a 
financial asset or financial liability and allocates the interest income 
or interest expense over the expected life of the financial asset or 
financial liability so as to achieve a constant yield on the financial 
asset or liability.

For assets subject to prepayment, expected life is determined on 
the basis of the historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio, 
taking into account contractual obligations and prepayment 
experience. This is assessed on a regular basis.

ii) fee and commission income
Fees and commissions received that are integral to the effective 
interest rate of a financial asset are recognised using the effective 
interest method. For example, loan origination fees, together with 
related direct costs, are deferred and recognised as an adjustment to 
the effective interest rate on a loan once drawn.

Fees and commissions that relate to the execution of a significant 
act (for example, advisory or arrangement services, placement fees 
and underwriting fees) are recognised when the significant act has 
been completed.

Fees charged for providing ongoing services (for example, 
maintaining and administering existing facilities) are recognised as 
income over the period the service is provided.

iii) Dividend income
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive 
payment is established.

iv) Leasing income
Finance income on finance leases is recognised on a basis that reflects 
a constant periodic return on the net investment in the finance lease.

v) Gain or loss on sale of assets
The gain or loss on the disposal of assets is determined as the 
difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of 
disposal and the proceeds of disposal, net of incremental disposal 
costs. This is recognised as an item of other income in the year in 
which the significant risks and rewards of ownership transfer to 
the buyer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 20131: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

C) ExPENSE RECOGNITION

i) Interest expense
Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is 
recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.

ii) Loan origination expenses
Certain loan origination expenses are an integral part of the effective 
interest rate of a financial asset measured at amortised cost. These 
loan origination expenses include:
 } fees and commissions payable to brokers and certain customer 

incentive payments in respect of originating lending business; and

 } other expenses of originating lending business, such as external 
legal costs and valuation fees, provided these are direct and 
incremental costs related to the issue of a financial asset.

Such loan origination expenses are initially recognised as part of 
the cost of acquiring the financial asset and amortised as part of the 
effective yield of the financial asset over its expected life using the 
effective interest rate method. 

iii) Share-based compensation expense
The Group has various equity settled share-based compensation 
plans. These are described in note 45 and comprise the ANZ 
Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ Share Option Plan.

ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan
The fair value of ANZ ordinary shares granted under the Employee 
Share Acquisition Plan is measured at grant date, using the one-day 
volume weighted average market price of ANZ shares. The fair value 
is expensed immediately when shares vest or on a straight-line basis 
over the relevant vesting period. 

ANZ Share Option Plan
The fair value of share options is measured at grant date, using an 
option pricing model. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line 
basis over the relevant vesting period. This is recognised as 
share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase 
in the share options reserve.

The option pricing model takes into account the exercise price of 
the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of ANZ’s 
ordinary share price and other factors. Market vesting conditions are 
taken into account in estimating the fair value.

A deferred share right or a performance right is a right to acquire a 
share at nil cost to the employee subject to satisfactorily meeting 
time and/or performance hurdles. For equity grants made after 
1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may 
be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than shares at 
the Board’s discretion. The fair value of deferred share rights or 
performance rights is determined at grant date using an option 
pricing model, taking into account market-based performance 
conditions. The fair value is expensed over the relevant vesting 
period. This is recognised as share-based compensation expense 
with a corresponding increase in the share options reserve.

Other adjustments
Subsequent to the grant of an equity-based award, the amount 
recognised as an expense is reversed when an employee fails to 
satisfy the minimum service period specified in the award upon 
resignation, termination or notice of dismissal for serious misconduct. 
The expense is not reversed where the award does not vest due to 
the failure to meet a market-based performance condition.

80

iv) Lease payments
Leases entered into by the Group as lessee are predominantly 
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

D) INCOME TAx

i) Income tax expense
Income tax on earnings for the year comprises current and deferred 
tax and is based on the applicable tax law in each jurisdiction. It is 
recognised in the income statement as tax expense, except when it 
relates to items credited directly to equity, in which case it is recorded 
in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business 
combination, in which case it is included in the determination 
of goodwill.

ii) Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the 
year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the 
reporting date, including any adjustment for tax payable in previous 
periods. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a 
liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

iii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive tax balance 
sheet method. It is generated by temporary differences between 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes and their tax base.

Deferred tax assets, including those related to the tax effects of 
income tax losses and credits available to be carried forward, are 
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable 
profits will be available against which the deductible temporary 
differences or unused tax losses and credits can be utilised.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary 
differences, other than those relating to taxable temporary 
differences arising from goodwill. They are also recognised for 
taxable temporary differences arising on investments in controlled 
entities, branches, and associates, except where the Group is able to 
control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable 
that temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable 
future. Deferred tax assets associated with these interests are 
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary 
difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and there will be 
sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the 
temporary difference.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that 
are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability 
giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and 
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the 
reporting date. The measurement reflects the tax consequences 
that would follow from the manner in which the Group, at the 
reporting date, recovers or settles the carrying amount of its assets 
and liabilities.

iv) Offsetting
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only to the 
extent that they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation 
authority, there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis 
and it is allowed under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction.

E) ASSETS

fINANCIAL ASSETS

i)  financial assets and liabilities at fair value through 

profit or loss

Trading securities are financial instruments acquired principally 
for the purpose of selling in the short-term or which are a part of 
a portfolio which is managed for short-term profit-taking. Trading 
securities are initially recognised and subsequently measured in the 
balance sheet at their fair value.

Derivatives that are not effective accounting hedging instruments are 
carried at fair value through profit or loss.

Certain financial assets and liabilities may be designated and 
measured at fair value through profit or loss where any of the 
following applies: 
 } the asset represents investments backing policy liabilities 

(refer note 1 (I)(viii));

 } it is a life investment contract liability (refer note 1 (I)(i));
 } doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement 

or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from 
measuring assets and liabilities, or recognising the gains or losses 
thereon, on different bases;

 } a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both is managed 

and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis; or

 } the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless 
the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash 
flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be 
separately recorded.

Changes in the fair value (gains or losses) of these financial 
instruments are recognised in the income statement in the period 
in which they occur.

Purchases and sales of trading securities are recognised on trade date.

ii) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is 
derived from one or more underlying price, index or other variable. 
They include swaps, forward rate agreements, futures, options and 
combinations of these instruments.

Derivative financial instruments are entered into for trading purposes 
(including customer-related reasons), or for hedging purposes where 
the derivative instruments are used to hedge the Group’s exposures 
to interest rate risk, currency risk, price risk, credit risk and other 
exposures relating to non-trading positions.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value 
with gains or losses from subsequent measurement at fair value 
being recognised in the income statement. Valuation adjustments 
are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes 
a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the credit worthiness of 
the counterparty and funding valuation adjustment (FVA) to account 
for the funding cost inherent in the portfolio.

Where the derivative is effective as a hedging instrument and is 
designated as such, the timing of the recognition of any resultant 
gain or loss in the income statement is dependent on the hedging 
designation. These hedging designations and associated accounting 
are as follows:

fair value hedge
Where the Group hedges the fair value of a recognised asset 
or liability or firm commitment, changes in the fair value of the 
derivative designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in the 
income statement. Changes in the fair value of the hedged item 
attributable to the hedged risk are reflected in adjustments to the 
carrying value of the hedged item, which are also recognised in the 
income statement.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument 
expires or is sold, terminated, exercised or no longer qualifies for 
hedge accounting. The resulting adjustment to the carrying amount 
of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to the 
income statement over the period to maturity of the hedged item.

If the hedged item is sold or repaid, the unamortised fair value 
adjustment is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Cash flow hedge
The Group designates derivatives as cash flow hedges where the 
instrument hedges the variability in cash flows of a recognised asset 
or liability, a foreign exchange component of a firm commitment 
or a highly probable forecast transaction. The effective portion of 
changes in the fair value of derivatives qualifying and designated 
as cash flow hedges is deferred in the hedging reserve, which forms 
part of shareholders’ equity. Any ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in the income statement. Amounts deferred in equity 
are recognised in the income statement in the period during which 
the hedged forecast transactions take place. When the hedging 
instrument expires, is sold, terminated, or no longer qualifies for 
hedge accounting, the cumulative amount deferred in equity 
remains in the hedging reserve, and is subsequently transferred to 
the income statement when the hedged item is recognised in the 
income statement.

When a forecast hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, 
the amount deferred in equity is recognised immediately in the 
income statement.

Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for 
similarly to cash flow hedges. The gain or loss from remeasuring the 
fair value of the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion 
of the hedge is deferred in the foreign currency translation reserve in 
equity and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the 
income statement.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
All gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivatives that 
are not designated in a hedging relationship but are entered into to 
manage the interest rate and foreign exchange risk of the Group are 
recognised in the income statement. Under certain circumstances, 
the component of the fair value change in the derivative which 
relates to current period realised and accrued interest is included 
in net interest income. The remainder of the fair value movement is 
included in other income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  81

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 20131: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

iii) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets comprise non-derivative financial 
assets which the Group designates as available-for-sale but which are 
not deemed to be held principally for trading purposes, and include 
equity investments and quoted debt securities. 

They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. 
Subsequent gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are 
included as a separate component of equity in the available-for-
sale revaluation reserve except for interest, dividends and foreign 
exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognised 
directly in the income statement. When the asset is sold, the 
cumulative gain or loss relating to the asset is transferred from the 
available-for-sale revaluation reserve to the income statement.

Where there is objective evidence of impairment on an available-
for-sale financial asset, the cumulative loss related to that asset is 
removed from equity and recognised in the income statement, as an 
impairment expense for debt instruments or as other non-interest 
income for equity instruments. If, in a subsequent period, the 
amount of an impairment loss relating to an available-for-sale debt 
instrument decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to 
an event occurring after the impairment event, the loss is reversed 
through the income statement through the impairment expense line.

Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets are 
recognised on trade date being the date on which the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

iv) Net loans and advances
Net loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed 
or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. 
They arise when the Group provides money to a debtor with no 
intention of trading the loans and advances. The loans and advances 
are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are 
directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance. They are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method (refer note 1 (B)(i)) unless specifically designated on 
initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss.

All loans are graded according to the level of credit risk.

Net loans and advances includes direct finance provided to 
customers such as bank overdrafts, credit cards, term loans, finance 
lease receivables and commercial bills.

Impairment of loans and advances
Loans and advances are reviewed at least at each reporting date 
for impairment.

Credit impairment provisions are raised for exposures that are known 
to be impaired. Exposures are impaired and impairment losses are 
recorded if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment 
as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial 
recognition of the loan and prior to the reporting date, and that loss 
event, or events, has had an impact on the estimated future cash 
flows of the individual loan or the collective portfolio of loans that 
can be reliably estimated.

Impairment is assessed for assets that are individually significant 
(or on a portfolio basis for small value loans) and then on a collective 
basis for those exposures not individually known to be impaired.

Exposures that are assessed collectively are placed in pools of similar 
assets with similar risk characteristics. The required provision is 
estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with 
credit risk characteristics similar to those in the collective pool. 
The historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable 
data such as changed economic conditions. The provision also takes 
account of the impact of inherent risk of large concentrated losses 
within the portfolio and an assessment of the economic cycle.

The estimated impairment losses are measured as the difference 
between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cash 
flows discounted to their present value. As the discount unwinds 
during the period between recognition of impairment and recovery 
of the cash flow, it is recognised in interest income. 

Impairment of capitalised acquisition-related expenses is assessed 
through comparing the actual behaviour of the portfolio against 
initial expected life assumptions.

The provision for impairment loss (individual and collective) 
is deducted from loans and advances in the balance sheet 
and the movement for the reporting period is reflected in the 
income statement.

When a loan is uncollectable, either partially or in full, it is written-off 
against the related provision for loan impairment. Unsecured facilities 
are normally written-off when they become 180 days past due or 
earlier in the event of the customer’s bankruptcy or similar legal 
release from the obligation. 

However, a certain level of recoveries is expected after the write-off, 
which is reflected in the amount of the provision for credit losses. In 
the case of secured facilities, remaining balances are written-off after 
proceeds from the realisation of collateral have been received if there 
is a shortfall. 

Where impairment losses recognised in previous periods have 
subsequently decreased or no longer exist, such impairment losses 
are reversed in the income statement.

A provision is also raised for off-balance sheet items such as loan 
commitments that are considered to be onerous.

v) Lease receivables
Contracts to lease assets and hire purchase agreements are classified 
as finance leases if they transfer substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of the asset to the customer or an unrelated third party. 
All other lease contracts are classified as operating leases.

vi) Repurchase agreements
Securities sold under repurchase agreements are retained in the 
financial statements where substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership remain with the Group. A counterparty liability is 
recognised and classified as due to other financial institutions or 
payables and other liabilities. The difference between the sale price 
and the repurchase price is accrued over the life of the repurchase 
agreement and charged to interest expense in the income statement.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell, where the Group 
does not acquire the risks and rewards of ownership, are recorded as 
receivables in liquid assets, or due from other financial institutions. 
The security is not included in the balance sheet. Interest income is 
accrued on the underlying loan amount.

82

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Securities borrowed are not recognised in the balance sheet, unless 
these are sold to third parties, at which point the obligation to 
repurchase is recorded as a financial liability at fair value with fair 
value movements included in the income statement.

vii) Derecognition
The Group enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets 
recognised on its balance sheet yet retains either all or a portion of 
the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. If all, or substantially 
all, of the risks and rewards are retained, the transferred assets are not 
derecognised from the balance sheet.

In transactions where substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership of a financial asset are neither retained nor transferred, 
the Group derecognises the asset if control over the asset is lost. 
In transfers where control over the asset is retained, the Group 
continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing 
involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed 
to changes in the value of the transferred asset. The rights and 
obligations retained or created in the transfer are recognised 
separately as assets and liabilities as appropriate.

NON-fINANCIAL  ASSETS

viii) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over 
the fair value of the identifiable net assets of a controlled entity 
at the date of gaining control. Goodwill is recognised as an asset 
and not amortised, but assessed for impairment at least annually 
or more frequently if there is an indication that the goodwill may 
be impaired. This involves using the DCF or CEM methodology to 
determine the expected future benefits of the cash-generating units 
(CGU) to which the goodwill relates. Where the goodwill balance 
exceeds the assessed value of expected future benefits, the difference 
is charged to the income statement. Any impairment of goodwill is 
not subsequently reversed.

ix) Software and computer system costs
Software and computer system costs include costs incurred in 
acquiring and building software and computer systems (software).

Software is amortised using the straight-line method over its 
expected useful life to the Group. The period of amortisation is 
between 3 and 5 years, except for certain major core infrastructure 
projects where the useful life has been determined to be 7 or 10 
years. The amortisation period for software assets is reviewed at least 
annually. Where the expected useful life of the asset is different from 
previous estimates the amortisation period is changed accordingly.

At each reporting date, software assets are reviewed for impairment 
indicators. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of 
the assets are estimated and compared against the existing carrying 
value. Where the existing carrying value exceeds the recoverable 
amount, the difference is charged to the income statement.

Costs incurred in planning or evaluating software proposals, or in 
maintaining systems after implementation, are not capitalised.

x) Acquired portfolio of insurance and life investment business
Identifiable intangible assets in respect of acquired portfolios of 
insurance and life investment business acquired in a business 
combination are stated initially at fair value at acquisition date. These are 
amortised over the period of expected benefit of between 15 to 23 years. 

xi) Deferred acquisition costs
Refer to note 1(I)(vi).

xii) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets include management fee rights, distribution 
relationships and distribution agreements where they are clearly 
identifiable, can be reliably measured and where it is probable they 
will lead to future economic benefits that the Group can control.

Where, based on historical observation, there is an expectation that, 
for the foreseeable future, the level of investment in the funds will not 
decline significantly and the Group will continue to manage the fund, 
the management fee right is assessed to have an indefinite life and is 
carried at cost less any impairment losses. 

Other management fee rights, distribution relationships and 
distribution agreements are amortised over the expected useful 
lives to the Group using the straight line method. The period of 
amortisation is as follows:
Management fee rights  
Aligned advisor relationships  
Distribution agreements  

7 years
15 years
3 years

The amortisation period is reviewed at least at the end of each annual 
reporting period and changed if there has been a significant change 
in the pattern of expected future benefits from the asset.

xiii) Premises and equipment
Assets other than freehold land are depreciated at rates based upon 
their expected useful lives to the Group, using the straight-line 
method. The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:
Buildings 
Building integrals 
Furniture & equipment 
Computer & office equipment 

1.5%
10%
10%
12.5%–33%

Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the shorter of their useful lives or remaining terms of the lease.

The depreciation rate is reviewed at least at the end of each annual 
reporting period and changed if there has been a significant change 
in the pattern of expected future benefits from the asset.

At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of premises and 
equipment are reviewed for impairment. If any such indication exists, 
the recoverable amount of the assets are estimated and compared 
against the existing carrying value. Where the existing carrying value 
exceeds the recoverable amount, the difference is charged to the 
income statement. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 
amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed if there has been 
a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

xiv) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of qualifying assets 
are capitalised into the cost of the qualifying asset during the period 
of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its 
intended use. The calculation of borrowing costs is based on an 
internal measure of the costs associated with the borrowing of funds.

f) LIABILITIES

fINANCIAL LIABILITIES

i) Deposits and other borrowings
Deposits and other borrowings include certificates of deposit, interest 
bearing deposits, debentures and other related interest bearing 
financial instruments. Deposits and other borrowings not designated 
at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition are measured 
at amortised cost. The interest expense is recognised using the 
effective interest rate method.

ii) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Refer to note 1(E)(i).

iii) Acceptances
The exposure arising from the acceptance of bills of exchange that 
are sold into the market is recognised as a liability. An asset of equal 
value is recognised to reflect the offsetting claim against the drawer 
of the bill. Bill acceptances generate fee income that is recognised in 
the income statement when earned.

iv) Bonds, notes and loan capital
Bonds, notes and loan capital are accounted for in the same way 
as deposits and other borrowings, except for those bonds and 
notes which are designated as at fair value through profit or loss 
on initial recognition.

v) financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts that require the issuer to make 
specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss the holder 
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, 
are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on the 
date the guarantee was given; typically this is the premium received. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liabilities under such 
guarantees are measured at the higher of their amortised amount 
and the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle any 
financial obligation arising at the reporting date. These estimates 
are determined based on experience of similar transactions and the 
history of past losses.

vi) Derecognition
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified 
in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Defined contribution superannuation schemes
The Group operates a number of defined contribution schemes and 
also contributes, according to local law, in the various countries in 
which it operates, to government and other plans that have the 
characteristics of defined contribution schemes.

The Group’s contributions to these schemes are recognised as an 
expense in the income statement when incurred.

Defined benefit superannuation schemes
The Group operates a small number of defined benefit schemes. 
The liability and expense related to providing benefits to 
employees under each defined benefit scheme are calculated by 
independent actuaries.

A defined benefit liability is recognised to the extent that the present 
value of the defined benefit obligation of each scheme, calculated 
using the Projected Unit Credit Method, is greater than the fair value 
of each scheme’s assets. Where this calculation results in an asset of 
the Group, a defined benefit asset is recognised, which is capped 
at the recoverable amount. In each subsequent reporting period, 
ongoing movements in the defined benefit liability or asset carrying 
value is treated as follows:
 } the net movement relating to the current period’s service cost, 
interest cost, expected return on scheme assets, past service 
costs and other costs (such as the effects of any curtailments 
and settlements) is recognised as an employee expense in the 
income statement;

 } movements relating to actuarial gains and losses are recognised 

directly in retained earnings; and

 } contributions made by the Group are recognised directly against 

the net defined benefit position.

viii) Provisions
The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation, 
the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount 
of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised is the best estimate of the consideration 
required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking 
into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation 
at reporting date. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows 
estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the 
present value of those cash flows.

NON-fINANCIAL  LIABILITIES

G) EqUITY

vii) Employee benefits 
Leave benefits
The liability for long service leave is calculated and accrued for in 
respect of all applicable employees (including on-costs) using an 
actuarial valuation. The amounts expected to be paid in respect of 
employees’ entitlements to annual leave are accrued at expected 
salary rates including on-costs. Expected future payments for long 
service leave are discounted using market yields at the reporting date 
on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match, as 
closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

i) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares in the Company are recognised at the amount paid 
per ordinary share net of directly attributable issue costs.

ii) Treasury shares
Shares in the Company which are purchased on-market by the 
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan or issued by the Company 
to the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan are classified as 
treasury shares (to the extent that they relate to unvested employee 
share-based awards) and are deducted from Capital. 

84

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In addition, the life insurance business may also purchase and hold 
shares in the Company to back policy liabilities in the life insurance 
statutory funds. These shares are also classified as treasury shares and 
deducted from Capital. These assets, plus any corresponding income 
statement fair value movement on the assets and dividend income, 
are eliminated when the life statutory funds are consolidated into 
the Group. The cost of the investment in the shares is deducted from 
Capital. However, the corresponding life investment contract and 
insurance contract liabilities, and related changes in the liabilities 
recognised in the income statement, remain upon consolidation.

Treasury shares are excluded from the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares used in the earnings per share calculations.

iii) Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interests represent the share in the net assets of 
subsidiaries attributable to equity interests not owned directly or 
indirectly by the Company.

iv) Reserves

foreign currency translation reserve
As indicated in note 1 (A)(viii), exchange differences arising on 
translation of the assets and liabilities of all Group entities are 
reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve. Any offsetting 
gains or losses on hedging these balances, together with any tax 
effect, are also reflected in this reserve.

Available-for-sale revaluation reserve
This reserve includes changes in the fair value of available-for-sale 
financial assets, net of tax. These changes are transferred to the 
income statement (in other operating income) when the asset 
is derecognised. Where the asset is impaired, the changes are 
transferred to impairment expense in the income statement for debt 
instruments and in the case of equity instruments to other income.

Cash flow hedging reserve
This reserve includes the fair value gains and losses associated with 
the effective portion of designated cash flow hedging instruments.

Share-based payment reserves
Share-based payment reserves include the share options reserve and 
other equity reserves which arise on the recognition of share-based 
compensation expense (see note 1 (C)(iii)).

H) PRESENTATION

i) Offsetting of income and expenses
Income and expenses are not offset unless required or permitted by 
an accounting standard. At the Group level, this generally arises in the 
following circumstances:
 } where transaction costs form an integral part of the effective 
interest rate of a financial instrument which is measured at 
amortised cost, these are offset against the interest income 
generated by the financial instrument; or

 } where gains and losses relating to fair value hedges are assessed as 

being effective; or

 } where gains and losses arise from a group of similar transactions, 

such as foreign exchange gains and losses.

ii) Offsetting assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the 
balance sheet only where there is:
 } a current enforceable legal right to offset the asset and liability; and
 } an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and 

settle the liability simultaneously.

iii) Cash and cash equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash 
equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with other 
financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments 
with terms to maturity of three months from the date of acquisition 
or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

iv) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages 
in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief 
Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated 
to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete 
information is available. Changes in the internal organisational 
structure of the Group can cause the composition of the Group’s 
reportable segments to change. Where this occurs corresponding 
segment information for the previous financial year is changed, 
unless the information is not available and the cost to develop it 
would be excessive.

v) Goods and services tax
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount 
of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). 
In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST 
included. The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the 
ATO is included as an other asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. 
The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and 
financing activities which are recoverable from or payable to the 
ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

I) LIfE INSURANCE AND fUNDS MANAGEMENT BUSINESS

The Group conducts its life insurance and funds management 
business (the Life Business) in Australia primarily through OnePath 
Life Limited, which is registered under the Life Insurance Act 1995 
(Life Act) and in New Zealand through OnePath Life (NZ) Limited and 
OnePath Insurance Services (NZ) Limited which are licensed under 
the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010. 

The operations of the Life Business are conducted within separate 
statutory funds. The assets of the Life Business in Australia are 
allocated between policyholder and shareholder funds in accordance 
with the requirements of the Life Act. Under AASs, the financial 
statements must include all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses 
and equity, irrespective of whether they are designated as relating 
to shareholders or policyholders. Accordingly, the consolidated 
financial statements include both policyholder (statutory) and 
shareholders’ funds.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 20131: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Policy liabilities
Policy liabilities include liabilities arising from life insurance contracts 
and life investment contracts. 

Life investment contract liabilities
Life investment contracts involve both the origination of a financial 
instrument and the provision of investment management services. 

Life insurance contracts are insurance contracts regulated under 
the Life Act and similar contracts issued by entities operating 
outside Australia. An insurance contract is a contract under which 
an insurer accepts significant insurance risk from another party 
(the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a 
specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder. 

The financial instrument component of the life investment 
contract liabilities is designated as at fair value through profit or 
loss. The management services component, including associated 
acquisition costs, is recognised as revenue as services are performed. 
See note 1 (I)(vi) for the deferral and amortisation of life investment 
contract acquisition costs and entry fees.

All contracts written by registered life insurers that do not meet the 
definition of an insurance contract are referred to as life investment 
contracts. Life investment contract business relates to funds 
management products in which the Group issues a contract where 
the resulting liability to policyholders is linked to the performance 
and value of the assets that back those liabilities. 

For investment-linked products, the life investment contract liability 
is directly linked to the performance and value of the assets that 
back them and is determined as the fair value of those assets after 
tax. For fixed income policies the liability is determined as the net 
present value of expected cash flows subject to a minimum of current 
surrender value.

Whilst the underlying assets are registered in the name of the life 
insurer and the policyholder has no direct access to the specific 
assets, the contractual arrangements are such that the policyholder 
bears the risks and rewards of the fund’s investment performance 
with the exception of guaranteed products where the policyholder is 
guaranteed a minimum return or asset value. The Group derives fee 
income from the administration of the underlying assets. 

Life investment contracts that include a discretionary participation 
feature (participating contracts) are accounted for as if they are life 
insurance contracts under AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts. 

Life insurance liabilities
Life insurance liabilities are determined using the ‘Margin on Services’ 
(MoS) model using a projection method or using an accumulation 
method. Under the projection method, the liability is determined as 
the net present value of the expected future cash flows, plus planned 
margins of revenues over expenses relating to services yet to be 
provided, discounted using a risk-free discount rate that reflects 
the nature, structure and term of the liabilities. Expected future 
cash flows include premiums, expenses, redemptions and benefit 
payments, including bonuses.

An accumulation method is used where the policy liabilities 
determined are not materially different from those determined under 
the projection method.

Profits from life insurance contracts are brought to account using the 
MoS model in accordance with Actuarial Standard LPS 1.04 Valuation 
of Policy Liabilities (formerly AS 1.04) as issued by the APRA under the 
Life Act and Professional Standard 3 Determination of Life Insurance 
Policy Liabilities as issued by the New Zealand Society of Actuaries. 
Under MoS, profit is recognised as premiums are received and 
services are provided to policyholders. When premiums are received 
but the service has not been provided, the profit is deferred. Losses 
are expensed when identified. 

Costs associated with the acquisition of policies are recognised over 
the life of the policy. Costs may only be deferred, however, to the 
extent that a contract is expected to be profitable.

Participating contracts, defined as those contracts that entitle the 
policyholder to participate in the performance and value of certain 
assets in addition to the guaranteed benefit, are entitled to share 
in the profits that arise from participating business. This profit 
sharing is governed by the Life Act and the life insurance company’s 
constitution. The profit sharing entitlement is treated as an expense 
in the consolidated financial statements. Any benefits which remain 
payable at the end of the reporting period are recognised as part of 
life insurance liabilities.

86

(ii) External unit holder liabilities (life insurance funds)
The life insurance business includes controlling interests in trusts and 
companies, and the total amounts of each underlying asset, liability, 
revenue and expense of the controlled entities are recognised in the 
Group’s consolidated financial statements. When a controlled unit 
trust is consolidated, the share of the unit holder liability attributable 
to the Group is eliminated but amounts due to external unit holders 
remain as liabilities in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

(iii) Claims
Claims are recognised when the liability to the policyholder under 
the policy contract has been established or upon notification of the 
insured event depending on the type of claim. 

Claims incurred in respect of life investment contracts represent 
withdrawals and are recognised as a reduction in life investment 
contract liabilities. 

Claims incurred that relate to the provision of services and bearing 
of insurance risks are treated as expenses and these are recognised 
on an accruals basis once the liability to the policyholder has been 
established under the terms of the contract.

(iv) Revenue

Life insurance premiums
Life insurance premiums earned by providing services and bearing 
risks are treated as revenue. Life insurance deposit premiums 
are recognised as an increase in policy liabilities. For annuity, risk 
and traditional business, all premiums are recognised as revenue. 
Premiums with no due date are recognised as revenue on a cash 
received basis. Premiums with a regular due date are recognised as 
revenue on an accruals basis. Unpaid premiums are only recognised 
as revenue during the days of grace or where secured by the 
surrender value of the policy and are included as ‘Other assets’ in the 
balance sheet. 

Life investment contract premiums
There is no premium revenue in respect of life investment contracts. 
Amounts received from policyholders in respect of life investment 
contracts are recognised as an investment contract liability where 
the receipt is in the nature of a deposit. 

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)(viii) Investments backing policy liabilities
All investments backing policy liabilities are designated as at fair 
value through profit or loss. For OnePath Australia, all policy holder 
assets, being those assets held within the statutory funds of the life 
company that are not segregated and managed under a distinct 
shareholder investment mandate are held to back life insurance and 
life investment contract liabilities (collectively referred to as policy 
liabilities). These investments are designated as at fair value through 
profit or loss. 

J) OTHER

i) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are 
individually measured at fair value at the acquisition date. 
At subsequent reporting dates the value of such contingent liabilities 
is reassessed based on the estimate of the expenditure required to 
settle the contingent liability.

Other contingent liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet 
but disclosed in note 43 unless it is considered remote that the Group 
will be liable to settle the possible obligation.

ii) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data 
for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit 
or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
period after eliminating treasury shares.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable 
to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive ordinary shares.

1: Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

fees
Fees are charged to policyholders in connection with life insurance 
and life investment contracts and are recognised when the service 
has been provided. Entry fees from life investment contracts are 
deferred and recognised over the average expected life of the 
contracts. Deferred entry fees are presented within ‘Other liabilities’ 
in the balance sheet.

(v) Reinsurance contracts
Reinsurance premiums, commissions and claim settlements, as 
well as the reinsurance element of insurance contract liabilities, are 
accounted for on the same basis as the underlying direct insurance 
contracts for which the reinsurance was purchased.

(vi) Policy acquisition costs

Life insurance contract acquisition costs
Policy acquisition costs are the fixed and variable costs of acquiring 
new business. The appointed actuary assesses the value and future 
recoverability of these costs in determining policy liabilities. The net 
profit impact is presented in the income statement as a change in 
policy liabilities. The deferral is determined as the actual costs are 
incurred subject to an overall limit that future profits are anticipated 
to cover these costs. Losses arising on acquisition are recognised 
in the income statement in the year in which they occur. Amounts 
which are deemed recoverable from future premiums or policy 
charges are deferred and amortised over the life of the policy.

Life investment contract acquisition costs 
Incremental acquisition costs, such as commissions, that are directly 
attributable to securing a life investment contract are recognised 
as an asset where they can be identified separately and measured 
reliably and if it is probable that they will be recovered. These 
deferred acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet as an 
intangible asset and are amortised over the period that they will be 
recovered from future policy charges.

Any impairment losses arising on deferred acquisition costs 
are recognised in the income statement in the period in which 
they occur.

(vii) Basis of expense apportionment
All life investment contracts and insurance contracts are categorised 
based on individual policy or products. Expenses for these products 
are then allocated between acquisition, maintenance, investment 
management and other expenses. 

Expenses which are directly attributable to an individual policy or 
product are allocated directly to a particular expense category, fund, 
class of business and product line as appropriate. Where expenses are 
not directly attributable to an individual policy or product, they are 
appropriately apportioned based on detailed expense analysis having 
regard to the objective in incurring that expense and the outcome 
achieved. The apportionment has been made in accordance with 
Actuarial Standard LPS 1.04 Valuation of Policy Liabilities (formerly 
AS 1.04), issued by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, 
and on an equitable basis to the different classes of business in 
accordance with Division 2 of Part 6 of the Life Act.

iii) Accounting Standards not early adopted 
The following standards (except AASB 2011-4) were available for early adoption, but have not been applied by the Company or Group  
in these financial statements. 

AASB standard
AASB 10 Consolidated 
Financial Statements

AASB 12 Disclosure of 
Interests in Other Entities

AASB 13 Fair Value 
Measurement

Possible impact on the Company and the Group’s financial report in period of initial adoption

This standard replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and 
Separate Financial Statements and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. 
The standard provides a single definition of ‘control’ based on whether the investor is exposed 
to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its involvement with an investee and has the ability 
to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The standard also provides guidance 
on how the control principle is applied in certain situations, such as where potential voting rights 
exist or where voting rights are not the dominant factor in determining whether control exists, for 
example, where relevant activities are directed through contractual means. 
The most significant impact of applying this standard relates to the judgemental approach 
required when assessing control over the Group’s OnePath fund entities. While it is likely that 
additional fund entities will be consolidated, the financial impact is expected to be minimal on 
the net assets and earnings of the Group.

This standard applies where an entity has an ‘interest in another entity’ (essentially, any 
contractual or non-contractual interest that exposes an entity to the returns from the 
performance of the other entity). Such interests include a subsidiary, joint arrangement, associate 
or an unconsolidated structured entity. A range of disclosures is required which assist users to 
evaluate the nature, extent and financial effects and risks associated with an entity’s interest 
in other entities. These disclosures replace and significantly enhance those in other standards 
applicable to subsidiaries, joint arrangements or associates and impose new disclosures 
particularly around structured entities, a much broader concept than special purpose entity. 
As the amendments only relate to disclosure, there will be no impact on the Company or Group.

This standard provides a single source of guidance on fair value measurement and requires 
certain disclosures regarding fair value. It does not change when fair value is required to 
be applied, but rather provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value 
measurement is required or permitted. Application of this standard may result in different fair 
values being determined for certain assets and liabilities of the Group. For example, the standard 
permits, subject to certain criteria, financial instruments to be measured at mid market rates, 
removing the requirement to incorporate the impact of the bid/ask spread from the valuation.
The financial impact of changes arising from this standard is not expected to be material to the 
Company or Group.

AASB 119 Employee 
Benefits

Amendments to this standard will result in changes to the measurement of interest cost 
from defined benefit obligations, as well as additional disclosures for all employee benefits. 
The amendments will not have a material impact on the Group.

This standard amends AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require disclosure of the effect 
or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with an entity’s 
recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, and on an entity’s financial position, 
when all the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation are not met.
As the amendments only relate to disclosure, there will be no impact on the Company or Group.

Possible impact on the Company and the Group’s financial report in period of initial adoption

This standard amends AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to 
permit the continuation of hedge accounting where a derivative which has been designated 
as a hedging instrument is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a 
consequence of laws or regulations.

This is not expected to have a material impact on the Company or Group.

This standard is being released in phases when combined will form AASB 9. To date only new 
recognition and measurement requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities have 
been released.
The main recognition and measurement requirements of AASB 9 include:
 } all financial assets, except for certain equity instruments, will be classified into 

two categories:
– amortised cost, where they generate solely payments of interest and principal and the 

business model is to collect contractual cash flows that represent principal and interest; or

– fair value through the income statement;

 } equity instruments not held for trading purposes will be classified at fair value through 

the income statement except for certain instruments which may be classified at fair value 
through other comprehensive income (OCI) with dividends recognised in net income;

 } financial assets which meet the requirements for classification at amortised cost are 

permitted to be measured at fair value if this eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting 
mismatch; and

 } financial liabilities – gains and losses attributable to own credit arising from financial 

liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss will be taken to OCI.

Future phases of the AASB 9 project will cover impairment of financial assets measured at 
amortised cost and hedge accounting.
Until all phases of AASB 9 are completed, it remains impractical to quantify the impact of 
this standard.

A number of other AASB standards are also available for early adoption, but have not been applied by the Company or Group in these 
financial statements. These relate to standards that have limited application to the Company or Group.

2: Critical Estimates and Judgements Used in Applying Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements of the Company and 
Group involves making estimates and judgements that affect the 
reported amounts within the financial statements. The estimates and 
judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical 
factors, including expectations of future events, which are believed 
to be reasonable under the circumstances. All material changes to 
accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies 
and judgements are approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

A brief explanation of the critical estimates and judgements follows.

i) PRO vISIONS  fOR  CREDIT  IMPAIRMENT

The measurement of impairment of loans and advances requires 
management’s best estimate of the losses incurred in the loan 
portfolio at reporting date.

Individual and collective provisioning involves the use of assumptions 
for estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. 
The process of estimating the amount and timing of cash flows 
involves considerable management judgement. These judgements 
are regularly revised to reduce any differences between loss estimates 
and actual loss experience.

The collective provision involves estimates regarding the historical 
loss experience for assets with credit characteristics similar to those in 
the collective pool. The historical loss experience is adjusted based on 

current observable data and events and an assessment of the impact 
of model risk. The provision also takes into account management’s 
assessment of the impact of large concentrated losses within the 
portfolio and the economic cycle. 

The use of such judgements and reasonable estimates is considered 
by management to be an essential part of the process and does not 
impact on the reliability of the provision.

ii) IMPAIRMENT  Of NON-LENDING  ASSETS

The carrying values of non-lending assets are subject to impairment 
assessments at each reporting date. Judgement is required in 
identifying the cash-generating units to which goodwill and other 
assets are allocated for the purpose of impairment testing.

Impairment testing involves identifying appropriate internal and 
external indicators of impairment and whether these exist at each 
reporting date. Where an indication of impairment exists, the 
recoverable amount of the asset is determined based on the higher of 
the assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Judgement 
is applied when determining the assumptions supporting the 
recoverable amount calculations.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 20132: Critical Estimates and Judgements Used in Applying Accounting Policies (continued)

iii) SPECIAL  PURPOSE  AND  Off-BALANCE  SHEET  ENTITIES

v) PRO vISIONS  (OTHER  THAN LOAN  IMPAIRMENT)

The Group holds provisions for various obligations including 
employee entitlements, restructurings and litigation related 
claims. The provision for long-service leave is supported by an 
independent actuarial report and involves assumptions regarding 
employee turnover, future salary growth rates and discount rates. 
Other provisions involve judgements regarding the outcome of 
future events including estimates of expenditure required to satisfy 
such obligations.

vi) LIfE  INSURANCE  CONTRACT  LIABILITIES

Policy liabilities for life insurance contracts are computed using 
statistical or mathematical methods, which are expected to give 
approximately the same results as if an individual liability was 
calculated for each contract. The computations are made by suitably 
qualified personnel on the basis of recognised actuarial methods, 
with due regard to relevant actuarial principles and standards. 
The methodology takes into account the risks and uncertainties of 
the particular class of life insurance business written. Deferred policy 
acquisition costs are connected with the measurement basis of life 
insurance liabilities and are equally sensitive to the factors that are 
considered in the liability measurement.

The key factors that affect the estimation of these liabilities and 
related assets are:
 } the cost of providing the benefits and administering these 

insurance contracts;

 } mortality and morbidity experience on life insurance products, 

including enhancements to policyholder benefits;

 } discontinuance experience, which affects the Company’s ability 

to recover the cost of acquiring new business over the lives of the 
contracts; and

 } the amounts credited to policyholders’ accounts compared to the 

returns on invested assets through asset-liability management and 
strategic and tactical asset allocation.

In addition, factors such as regulation, competition, interest 
rates, taxes and general economic conditions affect the level of 
these liabilities.

The total value of policy liabilities for life insurance contracts have 
been appropriately calculated in accordance with these principles.

vii) TAxATION

Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of 
uncertain tax positions. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based 
on its understanding of the relevant law in each of the countries in 
which it operates.

The Group invests in or establishes special purpose entities (SPEs) 
to enable it to undertake specific types of transactions such as 
structured finance arrangements, covered bond issuances and 
securitisations. 

An SPE is consolidated where it is controlled by the Group in 
accordance with the Group’s policy outlined in note 1 (A)(vi). As it can 
be complex to determine whether the Group has control of a SPE, the 
Group makes judgements about its exposure to the risks and rewards 
of the SPE, as well as about its ability to make operational decisions 
regarding the SPE. 

The main types of unconsolidated SPEs with which the Group is 
involved are structured finance entities. These entities are set up to 
assist with the structuring of client financing. ANZ may manage these 
vehicles, hold minor amounts of capital in these vehicles or provide 
financing or derivatives to these vehicles. Any resulting lending 
arrangements with these SPEs are at arm’s length and ANZ typically 
has limited ongoing involvement with the entity.

iv) fINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS  AT  fAIR vALUE

The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value are 
stated in note 1 (A)(iii). In estimating fair value the Group uses, 
wherever possible, quoted market prices in an active market for the 
financial instrument. 

In the event that there is no active market for the instrument, fair 
value is based on present value estimates or other market accepted 
valuation techniques. The valuation models incorporate the impact 
of bid/ask spread, counterparty credit spreads and other factors that 
would influence the fair value determined by a market participant. 
The selection of appropriate valuation techniques, methodology 
and inputs requires judgement. These are reviewed and updated as 
market practice evolves.

The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable 
market data. However, for certain financial instruments, the fair value 
cannot be determined with reference to current market transactions 
or valuation techniques whose variables only include data from 
observable markets. In respect of the valuation component where 
market observable data is not available, the fair value is determined 
using data derived and extrapolated from market data and tested 
against historic transactions and observed market trends. These 
valuations are based upon assumptions established by application 
of professional judgement to analyse the data available to support 
each assumption. Changing the assumptions changes the resulting 
estimate of fair value.

The majority of outstanding derivative positions are transacted 
over-the-counter and therefore need to be valued using valuation 
techniques. Included in the determination of the fair value of 
derivatives is a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the credit 
worthiness of the counterparty. This is influenced by the mark-to-
market of the derivative trades and by the movement in the market 
cost of credit. Further adjustments are made to account for the 
funding costs inherent in the derivative. Judgment is required to 
determine the appropriate cost of funding and the future expected 
cashflows used in this funding valuation adjustment (FVA).

Group Policy allows KPMG Australia or any of its related practices to provide assurance and other audit-related services that, while outside the 
scope of the statutory audit, are consistent with the role of external auditor. These include regulatory and prudential reviews requested by the 
Company’s regulators such as APRA. Any other services that are not audit or audit-related services are non-audit services. Group Policy allows 
certain non-audit services to be provided where the service would not contravene auditor independence requirements. KPMG Australia or any 
of its related practices may not provide services that are perceived to be in conflict with the role of the external auditor. These include consulting 
advice and subcontracting of operational activities normally undertaken by management, and engagements where the auditor may ultimately 
be required to express an opinion on its own work.

TAx CONSOLIDATION

TAxATION Of fINANCIAL  ARRANGEMENTS  ‘TOfA’

The Group adopted the new tax regime for financial arrangements 
(TOFA) in Australia effective from 1 October 2009. The regime 
aims to more closely align the tax and accounting recognition and 
measurement of the financial arrangements within scope and their 
related flows. Deferred tax balances for financial arrangements 
that existed on adoption at 1 October 2009 will reverse over a 
four year period.

The Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident entities 
are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. 
The Company is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. 
Tax expense/income and deferred tax liabilities/assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group 
are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members 
of the tax-consolidated group on a ‘group allocation’ basis. Current tax 
liabilities and assets of the tax consolidated group are recognised by 
the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the 
entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as 
payable to or receivable by the Company and each member of the 
tax-consolidated group in relation to the tax contribution amounts 
paid or payable between the Company and the other members of the 
tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement.

Members of the tax-consolidated group have also entered into a tax 
sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax 
liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its 
income tax payment obligations.

DIvIDEND  fRANKING  ACCOUNT

The amount of Australian franking credits available to the Company 
for the subsequent financial year is $265 million (2012: $386 million) 
after adjusting for franking credits that will arise from the payment of 
tax on Australian profits for the 2013 financial year, $1,070 million of 
franking credits which will be utilised in franking the proposed 2013 
final dividend and franking credits that may not be accessible by the 
Company at present.

RESTRICTIONS  wHICH  LIMIT  THE PAYMENT  Of DIvIDENDS

There are presently no significant restrictions on the payment of 
dividends from material controlled entities to the Company. Various 
capital adequacy, liquidity, foreign currency controls, statutory 
reserve and other prudential and legal requirements must be 
observed by certain controlled entities and the impact of these 
requirements on the payment of cash dividends is monitored. 

There are presently no significant restrictions on the payment of 
dividends by the Company, although reductions in shareholders’ 
equity through the payment of cash dividends are monitored having 
regard to the following: 

 } There are regulatory and other legal requirements to maintain a 
specified level of capital. Further, APRA has advised that a bank 
under its supervision, including the Company, must obtain its 
written approval before paying dividends (i) on ordinary shares 
which exceed its after tax earnings after taking into account any 
payments on more senior capital instruments in the financial year 
to which they relate or (ii) where the Company’s Common Equity 
Tier 1 capital ratio falls within capital range buffers specified by 
APRA from time to time;

 } The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provides that the Company must 
not pay a dividend on any instrument unless (i) it has sufficient net 
assets for the payment, (ii) the payment is fair and reasonable to 
the Company’s shareholders as a whole, and (iii) the payment does 
not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors;
 } The terms of the Group’s Euro Trust Securities, US Trust Securities 
and ANZ Convertible Preference Shares also limit the payment of 
dividends on these securities in certain circumstances. Whilst the 
terms of the securities vary, generally the Company may not pay 
a dividend if to do so would result in the Company becoming, or 
likely to become, insolvent or breaching specified capital adequacy 
ratios, if the dividend would exceed its after tax prudential profits 
(as defined by APRA from time to time) or if APRA so directs; and

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 20137: Dividends (continued)

 } If any dividend, interest or redemption payments or other 

distributions are not paid on the scheduled payment date, or shares 
or other qualifying Tier 1 securities are not issued on the applicable 
conversion or redemption dates, on the Group’s Euro Trust Securities, 
US Trust Securities, ANZ Convertible Preference Shares or ANZ Capital 
Notes in accordance with their terms, the Group may be restricted 
from declaring or paying any dividends or other distributions on 
Tier 1 securities including ANZ ordinary shares and preference shares. 
This restriction is subject to a number of exceptions.

DIvIDEND  REINvESTMENT  PLAN

During the year ended 30 September 2013, 19,090,655 ordinary 
shares were issued at $23.64 per share and 13,535,178 ordinary 
shares at $28.96 per share to participating shareholders under the 
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (2012: 39,662,663 ordinary shares at 
$19.09 per share, and 34,448,302 ordinary shares at $20.44 per share). 
All eligible shareholders can elect to participate in the Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan.

Refer to note 29 for details of the on-market buyback of ordinary 
shares issued under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus 
Option Plan in connection with the 2013 interim dividend.

For the 2013 final dividend, no discount will be applied when 
calculating the ‘Acquisition Price’ used in determining the number 
of ordinary shares to be provided under the Dividend Reinvestment 
Plan and Bonus Option Plan terms and conditions, and the ‘Pricing 
Period’ under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan 
terms and conditions will be the ten trading days commencing on 
13 November 2013 (unless otherwise determined by the Directors 
and announced on the ASX). The Company intends to neutralise the 
impact of ordinary shares issued under the Dividend Reinvestment 
Plan and Bonus Option Plan in connection with the 2013 final 
dividend through an on-market buyback of ordinary shares in an 
amount equal to the value of those ordinary shares issued under the 
Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan.

BONUS  OPTION  PLAN

The amount paid in dividends during the year has been reduced as 
a result of certain eligible shareholders participating in the Bonus 
Option Plan and foregoing all or part of their right to dividends. These 
shareholders were issued ordinary shares under the Bonus Option Plan.

During the year ended 30 September 2013, 2,719,008 ordinary 
shares were issued under the Bonus Option Plan (2012: 4,090,494 
ordinary shares).

12: Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is 
derived from one or more underlying variables or indices, require 
little or no initial net investment and are settled at a future date. 
Derivatives include contracts traded on registered exchanges and 
contracts agreed between counterparties. The use of derivatives 
and their sale to customers as risk management products is an 
integral part of the Group’s trading and sales activities. Derivatives 
are also used to manage the Group’s own exposure to fluctuations 
in foreign exchange and interest rates as part of its asset and liability 
management activities.

Derivative financial instruments are subject to market and credit risk, 
and these risks are managed in a manner consistent with the risks 
arising on other financial instruments.

TYPES Of DERIv ATIvE  fINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS

The Group transacts principally in foreign exchange, interest rate, 
commodity and credit derivative contracts. The principal types of 
derivative contracts include swaps, forwards, futures and options 
contracts and agreements.

Derivatives, except for those that are specifically designated as 
effective hedging instruments, are classified as held for trading. 
The held for trading classification includes two categories of 
derivative financial instruments: those held as trading positions and 
those used in the Group’s balance sheet risk management activities.

TRADING  POSITIONS

Trading positions arise from both sales to customers and market 
making activities. Sales to customers include the structuring and 
marketing of derivative products which enable customers to manage 
their own risks. Market making activities consist of derivatives entered 
into principally for the purpose of generating profits from short-term 
fluctuations in prices or margins. Positions may be traded actively 
or held over a period of time to benefit from expected changes in 
market rates. 

Gains or losses, including any current period interest, from the 
change in fair value of trading positions are recognised in the income

BALANCE SHEET  RISK  MANAGEMENT 

The Group designates balance sheet risk management derivatives 
into hedging relationships in order to minimise income statement 
volatility. This volatility is created by differences in the timing of 
recognition of gains and losses between the derivative and the 
hedged item. Hedge accounting is not applied to all balance sheet 
risk management positions. 

Gains or losses from the change in fair value of balance sheet risk 
management derivatives that form part of an effective hedging 
relationship are recognised in the income statement based on the 
hedging relationship. Any ineffectiveness is recognised in the income 
statement as ‘other income’ in the period in which it occurs.

Gains or losses, excluding any current period interest, from the 
change in fair value of balance sheet risk management positions that 
are not designated into hedging relationships are recognised in the 
income statement as ‘other income’ in the period in which they occur. 
Current period interest is included in interest income and expense. 

The tables on the following pages provide an overview of the Group’s 
and the Company’s foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity 
and credit derivatives. They include all trading and balance sheet 
risk management contracts. Notional principal amounts measure 
the amount of the underlying physical or financial commodity and 
represent the volume of outstanding transactions. They are not 
a measure of the risk associated with a derivative. The derivative 
instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) 
as a result of fluctuations in market rates relative to the terms of the 
derivative. The aggregate notional amount of derivative financial 
instruments on hand, the extent to which instruments are favourable 
or unfavourable, and as a consequence the aggregate fair values of 
derivative financial assets and liabilities, can fluctuate significantly 
from time to time. The fair values of derivative instruments held and 
their notional principal amounts are set out below.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201312: Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

HEDGING  RELATIONSHIPS

There are three types of hedging relationships: fair value hedges, cash 
flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. 
Each type of hedging has specific requirements when accounting for 
the fair value changes in the hedging relationship. For details on the 
accounting treatment of each type of hedging relationship refer to 
note 1.

fAIR vALUE HEDGES

The risk being hedged in a fair value hedge is a change in the fair 
value of an asset or liability or unrecognised firm commitment that 
may affect the income statement. Changes in fair value might arise 
through changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The 
Group’s fair value hedges consist principally of interest rate swaps 

Gain/(loss) arising from fair value hedges
Hedged item
Hedging Instrument

and cross currency swaps that are used to protect against changes 
in the fair value of fixed-rate long-term financial instruments due to 
movements in market interest rates and exchange rates. 

The application of fair value hedge accounting results in the fair value 
adjustment on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk being 
recognised in the income statement at the same time the hedging 
instrument impacts the income statement. If a hedging relationship 
is terminated, the fair value adjustment to the hedged item continues 
to be recognised as part of the carrying amount of the item or 
group of items and is amortised to the income statement as a part 
of the effective yield over the period to maturity. Where the hedged 
item is derecognised from the Group’s balance sheet, the fair value 
adjustment is included in the income statement as ‘other income’ as 
a part of the gain or loss on disposal.

CASH fLO w HEDGES 

The risk being hedged in a cash flow hedge is the potential variability 
in future cash flows that may affect the income statement. Variability 
in the future cash flows may result from changes in interest rates or 
exchange rates affecting recognised financial assets and liabilities and 
highly probable forecast transactions. The Group’s cash flow hedges 
consist principally of interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements 
and cross currency swaps that are used to protect against exposures 
to variability in future cash flows on non-trading assets and liabilities 
which bear interest at variable rates or which are expected to be 
refunded or reinvested in the future. The Group primarily applies 
cash flow hedge accounting to its variable rate loan assets, variable 
rate liabilities and short-term re-issuances of fixed rate customer and 
wholesale deposit liabilities. The amounts and timing of future cash 
flows, representing both principal and interest flows, are projected 

for each portfolio of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of their 
forecast repricing profile. This forms the basis for identifying gains 
and losses on the effective portions of derivatives designated as cash 
flow hedges.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives 
qualifying and designated as cash flow hedges is deferred to the 
hedging reserve which forms part of shareholders’ equity. Amounts 
deferred in equity are recognised in the income statement in the 
period during which the hedged forecast transactions take place. 
The ineffective portion of a designated cash flow hedge relationship 
is recognised immediately in the income statement. The schedule 
below shows the movements in the hedging reserve:

Tax effect on items recorded in net interest income
Valuation gain taken to equity

The mechanics of a cash flow hedge results in the gain (or loss) in 
the hedging reserve being released into the income statement at the 
same time that the corresponding loss (or gain) attributable to the 
hedged item impacts the income statement. It will not necessarily be 
released to the income statement uniformly over the period of the 
hedging relationship as the fair value of the derivative is driven by 
changes in market rates over the term of the instrument. As market 
rates do not always move uniformly across all time periods, a change 
in market rates may drive more value in one forecast period than 
another, which impacts when the hedging reserve balance is released 
to the income statement. 

HEDGES  Of NET  INvESTMENTS  IN  fOREIGN  OPERATIONS

In a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the risk being 
hedged is the exposure to exchange rate differences arising on 
consolidation of foreign operations with a functional currency other 
than the Australian Dollar. Hedging is undertaken using foreign 
exchange derivative contracts or by financing with borrowings in the 
same currency as the applicable foreign functional currency. 

Ineffectiveness arising from hedges of net investments in foreign 
operations and recognised as ‘other income’ in the income statement 
amounted to nil (2012: nil).

All underlying hedged cash flows are expected to be recognised in 
the income statement in the period in which they occur which is 
anticipated to take place over the next 0–10 years (2012: 0–10 years).

All gains and losses associated with the ineffective portion of the 
hedging derivatives are recognised immediately as ‘other income’ 
in the income statement. Ineffectiveness recognised in the income 
statement in respect of cash flow hedges amounted to a $1 million 
loss for the Group (2012: $3 million loss) and a $1 million loss for the 
Company (2012: $3 million loss).

During the year net gains recognised in the income statement in respect of available-for-sale assets amounted to nil for both the Group 
(2012: $281 million) and for the Company (2012: $206 million). In 2012, the net gains recognised included $301 million for the Group and 
$234 million for the Company on the sale on investments in Visa Inc. and Sacombank. 

In addition, a loss of $3 million (2012: $35 million) for both Group and Company was recycled from equity (the Available-for-sale revaluation 
reserve) into the income statement on the impairment of assets previously reclassified from available-for-sale into loans and advances 
(refer note 16).

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201315: Impaired Financial Assets

Presented below is a summary of impaired financial assets that are measured on the balance sheet at amortised cost. For these items, 
impairment losses are recorded through the provision for credit impairment. This contrasts to financial assets carried on the balance sheet at fair 
value, for which any impairment loss is recognised as a component of the overall fair value.

Detailed information on impaired financial assets is provided in note 33 Financial Risk Management.

1  Restructured items are facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction 

of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

2   Includes unsecured credit card and personal loans 90 days past due accounts which are retained on a performing basis for up to 180 days past due amounting to $151 million (2012: $127 million) 

for the Group and $106 million (2012: $104 million) for the Company.

1  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set-off where they relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities within the same 

taxable group.

2  Unrecognised deferred tax assets arose from unrealised losses on investments backing the superannuation business held in OnePath Life Limited. At 30 September 2013, the unrecognised 

deferred tax assets is nil (2012: $205 million) due to an improvement in the performance of the investments backing the superannuation business during the year.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)19: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)

GOOD wILL  ALLOCATED  TO CASH–GENERATING  UNITS

The goodwill balance largely comprises the goodwill purchased on 
acquisition of NBNZ Holdings Limited in December 2003 (included in 
the New Zealand division) and ANZ Wealth Australia Limited (formerly 
OnePath Australia Limited) on 30 November 2009 (included in the 
Global Wealth division).

The recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill 
component is allocated is estimated using a market multiple 
approach as representative of the fair value less cost to sell of each 
CGU. The price earnings multiples are based on observable multiples 
reflecting the businesses and markets in which each CGU operates. 
The earnings are based on the current forecast earnings of the 
divisions. The aggregate fair value less cost to sell across the Group 
is compared to the Group’s market capitalisation to validate the 
conclusion that goodwill is not impaired.

Key assumptions on which management has based its determination 
of fair value less cost to sell include assumptions as to the market 
multiples being reflective of the segment’s businesses, cost to sell 
estimates and the ability to achieve forecast earnings. Changes in 
assumptions upon which the valuation is based could materially 
impact the assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU. As at 
30 September 2013, the impairment testing performed did not result 
in any material impairment being identified.

1  The aggregate liability for employee entitlements largely comprises provisions for annual leave and long service leave.
2  Restructuring costs and surplus leased space provisions arise from activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by the Group or the manner in which that business 
is undertaken and includes termination benefits. Costs relating to on-going activities are not provided for. Provision is made when the Group is demonstrably committed, it is probable that the 
costs will be incurred, though their timing is uncertain, and the costs can be reliably estimated.

3  Other provisions comprise various other provisions including loyalty programs, workers’ compensation, make-good provisions on leased premises and contingent liabilities recognised as part  

of a business combination.

Loan capital is subordinated in right of payment to the claims of depositors and other creditors of the Company and its controlled entities which 
have issued the notes or preference shares. 

As defined by APRA for capital adequacy purposes, the US Trust Securities, ANZ CPS and ANZ Capital Notes constitute Additional Tier 1 capital 
and all other subordinated notes constitute Tier 2 capital. The US Trust Securities, ANZ CPS and all outstanding Tier 2 subordinated notes have 
been granted transitional Basel 3 capital treatment by APRA. Transition will apply until the relevant security’s first call date, except in the case of 
the outstanding USD and NZD perpetual subordinated notes and ANZ CPS3 where the transition treatment will apply up until the earlier of the 
end of the transition period (1 January 2021) and the first call date when either a step-up event (i.e. an increase in credit margin) or a conversion 
to ANZ ordinary shares is to occur.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)28: Loan Capital (continued)

US TRUST SECURITIES 

On 27 November 2003, the Company issued 750,000 non-cumulative 
Trust Securities (‘US Trust Securities’) at USD1,000 each raising 
USD750 million. US Trust Securities comprise an interest paying 
unsecured note and a preference share, which are stapled together 
and issued by ANZ Capital Trust II (the ‘Trust’).

Dividends are not payable on the preference share while it is stapled 
to the note. Distributions on US Trust Securities are non-cumulative 
and are payable half yearly in arrears at a fixed rate of 5.36%. 
Distributions are subject to certain payment tests (i.e. APRA 
requirements and distributable profits being available) and are 
expected to be payable on 15 June and 15 December of each year. 
If distributions are not paid on the US Trust Securities, the Group may 
not pay dividends or distributions, or return capital, on ANZ ordinary 
shares or any other share capital or security ranking equal or junior to 
the preference share component (subject to certain exceptions).

ANZ has announced that it will redeem the US Trust Securities 
for cash on 16 December 2013. If the US Trust Securities are not 
redeemed, the investor is entitled to exchange the US Trust Security 
into a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares based on the average 
market price of ANZ ordinary shares less a 5% discount.

At any time at the Company’s discretion or upon the occurrence of 
certain other ‘conversion events’, the notes that are represented by the 
US Trust Securities will be automatically assigned to a subsidiary of the 
Company and the preference shares that are represented by the US 
Trust Securities will be distributed to investors on redemption of such 
US Trust Securities. The distributed preference shares will immediately 
become dividend paying and holders will receive non-cumulative 
dividends equivalent to the scheduled payments in respect of the US 
Trust Securities. If the US Trust Securities are not converted, redeemed 
or bought back prior to the 15 December 2053, they will be converted 
into preference shares, which in turn will be mandatorily converted into 
a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares (as described above).

The preference share forming part of the US Trust Securities confers 
protective voting rights that allow the holder to vote in the Company, 
in limited circumstances, such as a capital reduction, Company 
restructure involving a disposal of the whole of the Company’s 
business and undertaking, proposals affecting rights attached to the 
preference shares, and similar. 

On winding up of the Company, the rights of US Trust Security holders 
will be determined by the preference share component of US Trust 
Security. The preference shares forming part of the US Trust Securities 
rank equally with each of the ANZ CPS, the ANZ Capital Notes and the 
preferences shares issued in connection with the Euro Trust Securities.

ANZ CONvERTIBLE PREfERENCE SHARES (ANZ CPS)

 } On 30 September 2008, the Company issued 10.8 million 

convertible preference shares (‘ANZ CPS1’) at $100 each, raising 
$1,081 million before issue costs.

 } On 17 December 2009, the Company issued 19.7 million 

convertible preference shares (‘ANZ CPS2’) at $100 each, raising 
$1,969 million before issue costs.

 } On 28 September 2011, the Company issued 13.4 million 

convertible preference shares (‘ANZ CPS3’) at $100 each raising 
$1,340 million before issue costs. 

ANZ CPS are fully paid, mandatorily convertible preference shares. 
ANZ CPS are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. 

Dividends on ANZ CPS are non-cumulative and are payable quarterly 
in arrears in December, March, June and September (in the case of 
ANZ CPS1 and ANZ CPS2) and semi-annually in arrears in March 

and September (in the case of ANZ CPS3) in each year and will be 
franked in line with the franking applied to ANZ ordinary shares. The 
dividends will be based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of 
the 90 day bank bill rate plus a 250 basis point margin (ANZ CPS1) or 
a 310 basis point margin (ANZ CPS2) and the 180 day bank bill rate 
plus 310 basis point margin (ANZ CPS3), multiplied by one minus 
the Australian Company tax rate. Should the dividend not be fully 
franked, the terms of the securities provide for a cash gross-up for 
the amount of the franking benefit not provided. Dividends are 
subject to the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors of the 
Company and certain payment tests (including APRA requirements 
and distributable profits being available). If dividends are not paid on 
ANZ CPS, the Group may not pay dividends or distributions, or return 
capital, on ANZ ordinary shares or (in the case of ANZ CPS1 and ANZ 
CPS2 only) any other share capital or security ranking equal or junior 
to the ANZ CPS for a specified period (subject to certain exceptions).

On 16 June 2014 (ANZ CPS1), 15 December 2016 (ANZ CPS2) or 
1 September 2019 (ANZ CPS3) (each a ‘conversion date’), or an 
earlier date under certain circumstances, the relevant ANZ CPS will 
mandatorily convert into a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares 
based on the average market price of ANZ ordinary shares less a 2.5% 
discount (ANZ CPS1) or 1.0% discount (ANZ CPS2 and ANZ CPS3), 
subject to a maximum conversion number. 

The mandatory conversion to ANZ ordinary shares is however 
deferred for a specified period if the conversion tests are not met.

In respect of ANZ CPS3 only, if a common equity capital trigger event 
occurs the ANZ CPS3 will immediately convert into ANZ ordinary 
shares, subject to a maximum conversion number. A common equity 
capital trigger event occurs if ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital 
ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%.

In respect of ANZ CPS3 only, on 1 September 2017 and each 
subsequent semi annual Dividend Payment Date, subject to receiving 
APRA’s prior approval and satisfying certain conditions, the Company 
has the right to redeem or convert into ANZ ordinary shares all or 
some ANZ CPS3 at its discretion on similar terms as mandatory 
conversion on a conversion date.

The ANZ CPS rank equally with each other, the ANZ Capital Notes and the 
preference shares issued in connection with the US Trust Securities and 
Euro Trust Securities. Except in limited circumstances, holders of ANZ CPS 
do not have any right to vote in general meetings of the Company. 

ANZ CAPITAL NOTES

On 7 August 2013, the Company issued 11.2 million convertible 
notes at $100 each, raising $1,120 million before issue costs.

The ANZ Capital Notes are fully paid mandatorily convertible 
subordinated perpetual notes. The notes are listed on the Australian 
Stock Exchange.

Distributions on the notes are non-cumulative and payable 
semi-annual in arrears in March and September in each year and 
will be franked in line with the franking applied to ANZ ordinary 
shares. The distributions will be based on a floating rate equal to the 
aggregate of the 180 day bank bill rate plus a 340 basis point margin, 
multiplied by one minus the Australian Company tax rate. Should the 
distribution not be fully-franked, the terms of the notes provide for 
a cash gross-up for the amount of the franking benefit not provided. 
Distributions are subject to ANZ’s absolute discretion and certain 
payment conditions being satisfied (including APRA requirements). 
If distributions are not paid on the notes, ANZ may not pay dividends 
or distributions, or return capital, on ANZ ordinary shares for a 
specified period (subject to certain exceptions).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  117

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201328: Loan Capital (continued)

On 1 September 2023 (a conversion date), or an earlier date under 
certain circumstances, the notes will mandatorily convert into a 
variable number of ANZ ordinary shares based on the average 
market price of ordinary shares less a 1% discount, subject to 
a maximum conversion number. The mandatory conversion to 
ANZ ordinary shares is however deferred for a specified period if 
the conversion tests are not met.

If a common equity capital trigger event or a non-viability trigger 
event occurs the notes will immediately convert into ANZ ordinary 
shares, subject to a maximum conversion number. A common equity 
capital trigger event occurs if ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital 
ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%. A non-viability trigger event 
occurs if APRA notifies the Company that, without the conversion or 
write-off of certain securities or a public sector injection of capital 
(or equivalent support), it considers that the Company would 
become non-viable.

On 1 September 2021, subject to receiving APRA’s prior approval 
and satisfying certain conditions, the Company has the right to

at its discretion on similar terms as mandatory conversion on a 
conversion date.

The notes rank equally with each of the ANZ CPS and the preference 
shares issued in connection with the US Trust Securities and Euro 
Trust Securities. Holders of the notes do not have any right to vote in

3  Following the issue of 14,766,019 ordinary shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan for the 2013 interim dividend, the Company repurchased $425 million of ordinary 
shares via an on-market share buy-back resulting in 15,252,204 ordinary shares being cancelled. The Company intends to neutralise the impact of the ordinary shares issued under the Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan in connection with the 2013 final dividend through an on-market buyback of ordinary shares in an amount equal to the value of those ordinary shares 
issued under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan.
Includes on-market purchase of shares for settlement of amounts due under share-based compensation plans. In addition, 4,850,856 shares were issued during the year ended 30 September 
2013 to the Group’s Employee Share Trust for settlement of amounts due under share-based compensation plans (2012: 6,983,162). As at 30 September 2013, there were 15,821,529 Treasury

Euro Trust Securities
On 13 December 2004, the Company issued 500,000 Euro Floating 
Rate Non-cumulative Trust Securities (‘Euro Trust Securities’) at 
€1,000 each, raising $871 million net of issue costs. Euro Trust 
Securities comprise an interest paying unsecured note and a 
€1,000 preference share, which are stapled together and issued  
as a Euro Trust Security by ANZ Capital Trust III (the Trust).

Dividends are not payable on the preference shares while they are 
stapled to the note, except for the period after 15 December 2014 
when the preference share will pay 100 basis points in addition to the 
distributions on the note. Distributions on Euro Trust Securities are 
non-cumulative and are payable quarterly in arrears. The distributions 
are based upon a floating rate equal to the three month EURIBOR 
rate plus a 66 basis point margin up until 15 December 2014, after 
which date the distribution rate is the three month EURIBOR rate plus 
a 166 basis point margin. At each payment date the three month 
EURIBOR rate is reset for the next quarter. 

Distributions are subject to certain payment tests (i.e. APRA 
requirements and distributable profits being available). Distributions 
are expected to be payable on 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 
15 December of each year. If distributions are not paid on Euro Trust 
Securities, the Group may not pay dividends or distributions, or return 
capital on ANZ ordinary shares or any other share capital or security 
ranking equal or junior to the preference share component (subject 
to certain exceptions).

At any time at ANZ’s discretion or upon the occurrence of certain 
other ‘conversion events’, the notes that are represented by the 
relevant Euro Trust Securities will be automatically assigned to 
a branch of the Company and the preference shares that are 
represented by the relevant Euro Trust Securities will be distributed to 
investors in redemption of such Euro Trust Securities. The distributed 
preference shares will immediately become dividend paying and 
holders will receive non-cumulative dividends equivalent to the 
scheduled payments in respect of the Euro Trust Securities. 

The preference share forming part of the Euro Trust Securities confers 
protective voting rights that allow the holder to vote in the Company, 
in limited circumstances, such as a capital reduction, Company 
restructure involving a disposal of the whole of the Company’s 
business and undertaking, proposals affecting rights attached to the 
preference shares, and similar. 

On winding up of the Company, the rights of Euro Trust Security 
holders will be determined by the preference share component 
of the Euro Trust Security. These preference shares rank behind all 
depositors and creditors, but ahead of ordinary shareholders.

The preference shares forming each part of each Euro Trust Security 
rank equally with each of the ANZ CPS, the ANZ Capital Notes and the 
preferences shares issued in connection with the US Trust Securities.

Euro Trust Securities currently qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital as 
defined by APRA for capital adequacy purposes. APRA has granted 
ANZ transitional Basel 3 capital treatment for the Euro Trust Securities 
until their first call date on 16 December 2014.

A) fOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSLATION RESER vE

C) AvAILABLE-fOR-SALE  RE vALUATION RESER vE

The translation reserve comprises exchange differences, net of 
hedges, arising on translation of the financial statements of foreign 
operations, as described in note 1 A(viii). When a foreign operation 
is sold, attributable exchange differences are recognised in the 
income statement.

B) SHARE  OPTION  RESER vE

The share option reserve arises on the grant of options, performance 
rights and deferred share rights to selected employees under the ANZ 
share option plan. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and 
into share capital when the equity investments are exercised. Refer to 
note 1 C(iii).

Changes in the fair value and exchange differences on the revaluation 
of available-for-sale financial assets are taken to the available-for-sale 
revaluation reserve. Where a revalued available-for-sale financial 
asset is sold, that portion of the reserve which relates to that financial 
asset, is realised and recognised in the income statement. Where 
the available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, that portion of 
the reserve which relates to that asset is recognised in the income 
statement. Refer to note 1 E(iii).

D) HEDGING  RESER vE

The hedging reserve represents hedging gains and losses recognised on 
the effective portion of cash flow hedges. The cumulative deferred gain 
or loss on the hedge is recognised in the income statement when the 
hedged transaction impacts the income statement. Refer to note 1 E(ii).

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)31: Capital Management

ANZ pursues an active approach to capital management, which 
is designed to protect the interests of depositors, creditors and 
shareholders. This involves the on-going review and Board approval 
of the level and composition of ANZ’s capital base, assessed against 
the following key policy objectives: 
 } regulatory compliance such that capital levels exceed APRA’s, ANZ’s 
primary prudential supervisor, minimum Prudential Capital Ratios 
(PCRs) both at Level 1 (the Company and specified subsidiaries) and 
Level 2 (ANZ consolidated under Australian prudential standards), 
along with US Federal Reserve’s minimum Level 2 requirements 
under ANZ’s Foreign Holding Company Licence in the United States 
of America;

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

 } capital levels are commensurate with ANZ maintaining its preferred 

‘AA’ credit rating category for senior long-term unsecured debt 
given its risk appetite outlined in its strategic plan; and

 } an appropriate balance between maximising shareholder returns 

and prudent capital management principles.

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

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

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

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

 } identify the level of organic capital generation and hence 

determine current and future capital issuance requirements for 
Level 1 and Level 2. 

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

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

REGULATORY  ENvIRONMENT

ANZ’s regulatory capital calculation is governed by APRA’s Prudential 
Standards which adopt a risk-based capital assessment framework 
based on the Basel 3 capital measurement standards. This risk-based 
approach requires eligible capital to be divided by total risk 
weighted assets (RWAs), with the resultant ratio being used as a 
measure of an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution’s (ADIs) capital 
adequacy. APRA determines PCRs for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), 
Tier 1 and Total Capital, with capital as the numerator and RWAs as 
the denominator.

To ensure that ADIs are adequately capitalised on both a stand-alone 
and group basis, APRA adopts a tiered approach to the measurement 
of an ADI’s capital adequacy by assessing the ADIs financial strength 
at three levels:
 } Level 1 – the ADI on a stand-alone basis (i.e. the Company and 
approved subsidiaries which are consolidated to form the ADIs’ 
Extended Licensed Entity);

 } Level 2 – the consolidated banking group (i.e. the consolidated 
financial group less certain subsidiaries and associates excluded 
under the prudential standards); and

 } stress tests are performed under different economic conditions 

 } Level 3 – the conglomerate group at the widest level.

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

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

ANZ is a Level 1 and Level 2 reporter, and measures capital adequacy 
monthly on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis, and is not yet required to 
report on a Level 3 basis.

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

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013REGULATORY  CHANGE

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has released a series 
of consultation papers (Basel 3) containing a number of proposals to 
strengthen the global capital and liquidity framework to improve the 
banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and 
economic stress. 

Following the above, APRA’s released its new prudential capital 
standards in September 2012 detailing the implementation of the 
majority of Basel 3 capital reforms in Australia. ANZ has implemented 
APRA’s Basel 3 capital reforms from 1 January 2013, and is also well 
placed to meet the future implementation of the capital conservation 
measures included in the reforms, including the capital conservation 
buffer from 1 January 2016.

APRA is still to finalise capital standards on the Basel 3 reforms 
dealing with the leverage ratio, contingent capital and measures to 
address systematic and inter-connected risks.

APRA has announced that it will proceed with implementing Level 3 
Conglomerates framework on 1 January 2015, with final Level 3 
Prudential Standards on capital adequacy to be released by January 
2014. The standards will regulate a bancassurance group such as ANZ 
as a single economic entity with minimum capital requirements and 
additional reporting on risk exposure levels. Based upon APRA’s draft 
prudential standards covering group governance and risk exposures 
in December 2012 and draft Level 3 capital adequacy standards 
released in May 2013, ANZ is not expecting any material impact on 
its operations.

31: Capital Management (continued)

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

equity are excluded;

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

 } Retained earnings excluding retained earnings of insurance and 

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

 } Inclusion of qualifying treasury shares; and 
 } Current year net of tax earnings less profits of insurance and funds 

management subsidiaries excluded for Level 2 purposes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

REGULATORY  ENvIRONMENT  – INSURANCE  AND  fUNDS 
MANAGEMENT BUSINESS

Under APRA’s Prudential Standards, life insurance and funds 
management activities are de-consolidated for the purposes of 
calculating capital adequacy and excluded from the risk based 
capital adequacy framework for the ANZ Level 2 Group. Under 
APRA’s Basel 3 framework, investment in these controlled entities 
is deducted from CET 1 capital (previously, under Basel 2, only the 
intangible component of the investment in these controlled entities 
was deducted from Tier 1 capital with the balance of the investment 
deducted 50% from Tier 1 and 50% from Tier 2 capital). Additionally 
any profits from these activities included in ANZ’s results are excluded 
from the determination of CET 1 capital to the extent they have not 
been remitted to the Level 2 Group.

ANZ’s insurance companies in Australia are regulated by APRA on 
a stand-alone basis. Prudential Standards issued under the Life 
Insurance Act 1995 and Insurance Act 1973 determine the minimum 
capital requirements these companies are required to meet. 

APRA reviewed its capital standards for life and general insurers, 
and introduced new prudential standards that came into effect 
on 1 January 2013. Life insurance companies in New Zealand are 
required to meet minimum capital requirements as determined by 
the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act.

Fund managers in Australia are subject to ‘Responsible Entity’ 
regulation by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission 
(ASIC). ASIC’s new financial requirements for Responsible Entities 
became effective from 1 November, 2012. The regulatory capital 
requirements vary depending on the type of Australian Financial 
Services Licence or Authorised Representatives’ Licence held. 

APRA supervises approved trustees of superannuation funds and it 
introduced new financial requirements which became effective from 
1 July 2013.

ANZ’s insurance and funds management companies held assets in 
excess of regulatory capital requirements at 30 September 2013.

STRATEGY IN USING fINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments are fundamental to the Group’s business, 
constituting the core element of its operations. Accordingly, the risks 
associated with financial instruments are a significant component 
of the risks faced by the Group. Financial instruments create, modify 
or reduce the credit, market (including traded and non-traded 
interest rate and foreign currency related risks) and liquidity risks of 
the Group’s balance sheet. These risks, and the Group’s objectives, 
policies and processes for managing and measuring such risks are 
outlined below.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of 
ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully the 
terms of a loan or contract. The Group assumes credit risk in a wide 
range of lending and other activities in diverse markets and in many 
jurisdictions. Credit risks arise not only from traditional lending to 
customers, but also from inter-bank, treasury, international trade and 
capital market activities around the world.

The Group has an overall objective of sound growth for appropriate 
returns. The credit risk principles of the Group have been set by the 
Board and are implemented and monitored within a tiered structure 
of delegated authority designed to oversee multiple facets of credit 
risk, including business writing strategies, credit policies/controls, 
portfolio monitoring and risk concentrations.

Credit Risk Management Overview
The credit risk management framework ensures a consistent 
approach is applied across the Group in measuring, monitoring and 
managing the credit risk appetite set by the Board.

The Board is assisted and advised by the Board Risk Committee in 
discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The Board Risk Committee 
sets the credit risk appetite and credit strategies, as well as approving 
credit transactions beyond the discretion of executive management.

Responsibility for the oversight and control of the credit risk 
framework (including the risk appetite) resides with the Credit and 
Market Risk Committee (CMRC), which is an executive management 
committee comprising senior risk, business and Group executives, 
chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

Central to the Group’s management of credit risk is the existence of 
an independent credit risk management function that is staffed by 
risk specialists. Independence is achieved by having all credit risk staff 
ultimately report to the CRO, including where they are embedded in 
business units. The primary responsibility for prudent and profitable 
management of credit risk and customer relationships rests with the 
business units. 

The authority to make credit decisions is delegated by the Board 
to the CEO who in turn delegates authority to the CRO. The CRO 
in turn delegates some of his credit discretion to individuals as 
part of a ‘cascade’ of authority from senior to the most junior credit 
officers. Individuals must be suitably skilled and accredited in order 
to be granted and retain a credit discretion. Credit discretions are 
reviewed on an annual basis, and may be varied based on the 
holder’s performance. 

The Group has two main approaches to assessing credit risk arising 
from transactions: 
 } the larger and more complex credit transactions are assessed on a 
judgemental credit basis. Rating models provide a consistent and 
structured assessment, with judgement required around the use 
of out-of-model factors. Credit approval for judgemental lending is 
typically on a dual approval basis, jointly by the business writer in 
the business unit and an independent credit officer; and 

 } programmed credit assessment typically covers retail and some 

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

Central and divisional credit risk teams perform key roles in portfolio 
management such as the development and validation of credit risk 
measurement systems, loan asset quality reporting, stress testing, 
and the development of credit policies and requirements. Credit 
policies and requirements cover all aspects of the credit life cycle 
such as transaction structuring, risk grading, initial approval, ongoing 
management and problem debt management, as well as specialist 
policy topics. 

The Group’s grading system is fundamental to the management of 
credit risk, seeking to measure the probability of default (PD), the 
exposure at default (EAD) and the loss in the event of default (LGD) 
for all transactions.

From an operational perspective, the Group’s credit grading system 
has two separate and distinct dimensions that: 
 } measure the PD, which is expressed by a 27-grade Customer Credit 
Rating (CCR), reflecting the ability to service and repay debt. Within 
the programmed credit assessment sphere, the CCR is typically 
expressed as a score which maps back to the PD; and

 } measure the LGD, which is expressed by a Security Indicator 

(SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the 
percentage of the loan covered by security which can be realised in 
the event of default. The security-related SIs are supplemented with 
a range of other SIs to cover situations where ANZ’s LGD research 
indicates certain transaction characteristics have different recovery 
outcomes. Within the programmed credit assessment sphere, 
exposures are grouped into large homogenous pools – and the 
LGD is assigned at the pool level. 

The development and regular validation of rating models is 
undertaken by specialist central risk teams. The outputs from these 
models drive many day-to-day credit decisions, such as origination, 
pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, economic 
capital allocation and provisioning. The risk grading process includes 
monitoring of model-generated results to ensure appropriate 
judgement is exercised (such as overrides to take into account any 
out-of-model factors).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  125

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201333: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Collateral management 
Collateral is used to mitigate credit risk, as the secondary source of 
repayment in case the counterparty cannot meet its contractual 
repayment obligations. 

ANZ credit principles specify to only lend when the counterparty 
has the capacity and ability to repay, and the Group sets limits on 
the acceptable level of credit risk. Acceptance of credit risk is firstly 
based on the counterparty’s assessed capacity to meet contractual 
obligations (such as the scheduled repayment of principal 
and interest). 

In certain cases, such as where the customer risk profile is considered 
very sound or by the nature of the product (for instance, small limit 
products such as credit cards), a transaction may not be supported by 
collateral. For some products, the collateral provided is fundamental 
to its structuring so is not strictly the secondary source of repayment. 
For example, lending secured by trade receivables is typically repaid 
by the collection of those receivables.

The most common types of collateral typically taken by ANZ include:
 } charges over cash deposits;
 } security over real estate including residential, commercial, 

industrial or rural property; and

 } other security includes charges over business assets, security over 
specific plant and equipment, charges over listed shares, bonds or 
securities and guarantees and pledges.

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

In the event of customer default, any loan security is usually held as 
mortgagee in possession while the Group is actively seeking to realise 
it. Therefore the Group does not usually hold any real estate or other 
assets acquired through the enforcement of security.

The Group generally uses Master Agreements with its 
counterparties for derivatives activities. Generally, International 
Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements will be 
used. Under the ISDA Master Agreement, if a default of a counterparty 
occurs, all contracts with the counterparty are terminated. They 
are then settled on a net basis at market levels current at the time 
of default.

In addition to the terms noted above, ANZ’s preferred practice is to 
use a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to the ISDA Master Agreement. 
Under a CSA, open derivative positions with the counterparty are 
aggregated and cash collateral (or other forms of eligible collateral) is 
exchanged daily. The collateral is provided by the counterparty that is 
out of the money. Upon termination of the trade, payment is required 
only for the final daily mark-to-market movement rather than the 
mark-to-market movement since inception.

Concentrations of credit risk 
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are 
engaged in similar business activities or activities within the same 
geographic region, or when they have similar risk characteristics 
that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be 
similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

The Group monitors its portfolios, to identify and assess risk 
concentrations. The Group’s strategy is to maintain well-diversified 
credit portfolios focused on achieving an acceptable risk-return 
balance. Credit risk portfolios are actively monitored and frequently 
reviewed to identify, assess and guard against unacceptable 
risk concentrations. Concentration analysis will typically include 
geography, industry, credit product and risk grade. The Group also 
applies single customer counterparty limits to protect against 
unacceptably large exposures to single name risk. These limits are 
established based on a combination of factors including the nature of 
counterparty, probability of default and collateral provided.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)33: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Credit quality

Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances, there 
may be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, 
these differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity investments which are primarily 
subject to market risk, or bank notes and coins. For contingent exposures, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount the 
Group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon. For undrawn facilities, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the 
committed facilities.

The following tables present the maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial assets before taking 
account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201333: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Distribution of financial assets by credit quality
The Group has a comprehensive rating system that is used to quantify credit risk. The use of masterscales ensures consistency across exposure 
types at the Group, providing a consistent framework for reporting and analysis. 

All customers with whom ANZ has a credit relationship including guarantors, are assigned a Customer Credit Rating (CCR) or score at origination 
either by programmed credit assessment or by judgemental assessment. In addition, the CCR or score is reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure 
it accurately reflects the credit risk of the customer and the prevailing economic conditions. 

The Group’s risk grade profile therefore changes dynamically through new lending, repayment and/or existing counterparty movements in 
either risk or volume. 

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

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)33: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Credit quality of financial assets neither past due nor impaired
The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Group using internal CCRs based on their current probability of default. The Group’s 
masterscales are mapped to external rating agency scales, to enable wider comparisons. 

Internal rating

Strong credit profile

Customers that have demonstrated superior stability in their operating and financial performance over the long-term, 
and whose debt servicing capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. This rating broadly corresponds 
to ratings ‘Aaa’ to ‘Baa3’ and ‘AAA’ to ‘BBB-’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

Satisfactory risk

Customers that have consistently demonstrated sound operational and financial stability over the medium to long-
term, even though some may be susceptible to cyclical trends or variability in earnings. This rating broadly corresponds 
to ratings ‘Ba2’ to ‘Ba3’ and ‘BB’ to ‘BB-’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

Sub-standard but not  
past due or impaired

Customers that have demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with variability and uncertainty 
in profitability and liquidity projected to continue over the short and possibly medium term. This rating broadly 
corresponds to ratings ‘B1’ to ‘Caa’ and ‘B+’ to ‘CCC’ of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s respectively.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201333: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Ageing analysis of financial assets that are past due but not impaired
Ageing analysis of past due loans is used by the Group to measure and manage emerging credit risks. Financial assets that are past due but not 
impaired include those which are assessed, approved and managed on a portfolio basis within a centralised environment (for example credit 
cards and personal loans) that can be held on a productive basis until they are 180 days past due, as well as those which are managed on an 
individual basis.

A large portion of retail credit exposures, such as residential mortgages, are generally well secured. That is, the value of associated security is 
sufficient to cover amounts outstanding.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)33: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Market risk (excludes insurance and funds management)
Market risk is the risk to the Group’s earnings arising from changes 
in interest rates, currency exchange rates, credit spreads, or from 
fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

Market risk arises when changes in market rates, prices and volatilities 
lead to a decline in the value of assets and liabilities, including 
financial derivatives. Market risk is generated through both trading 
and banking book activities. 

ANZ conducts trading operations in interest rates, foreign exchange, 
commodities, securities and equities. 

ANZ has a detailed risk management and control framework to 
support its trading and balance sheet activities. The framework 
incorporates a risk measurement approach to quantify the 
magnitude of market risk within trading and balance sheet portfolios. 
This approach and related analysis identifies the range of possible 
outcomes that can be expected over a given period of time, 
establishes the relative likelihood of those outcomes and allocates 
an appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.

Group-wide responsibility for the strategies and policies relating to 
the management of market risk lies with the Board Risk Committee. 
Responsibility for day to day management of both market risks 
and compliance with market risk policy is delegated by the Risk 
Committee to the Credit and Market Risk Committee (CMRC) and the 
Group Asset & Liability Committee (GALCO). The CMRC, chaired by 
the Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for the oversight of market risk. 
All committees receive regular reporting on the range of trading and 
balance sheet market risks that ANZ incurs.

Within overall strategies and policies, the control of market risk 
at the Group level is the joint responsibility of Business Units and 
Risk Management, with the delegation of market risk limits from 
the Board and CMRC allocated to both Risk Management and the 
Business Units.

The management of Risk Management is supported by a 
comprehensive limit and policy framework to control the amount 
of risk that the Group will accept. Market risk limits are allocated at 
various levels and are reported and monitored by Market Risk on a 
daily basis. The detailed limit framework allocates individual limits 
to manage and control asset classes (e.g. interest rates, equities), risk 
factors (e.g. interest rates, volatilities) and profit and loss limits (to 
monitor and manage the performance of the trading portfolios). 

Market risk management and control responsibilities
To facilitate the management, measurement and reporting of market 
risk, ANZ has grouped market risk into two broad categories:

a) Traded market risk

This is the risk of loss from changes in the value of financial 
instruments due to movements in price factors for both physical and 
derivative trading positions. Trading positions arise from transactions 
where ANZ acts as principal with customers, financial exchanges or 
interbank counterparties.

The principal risk categories monitored are:
 } Currency risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the 

value of a financial instrument due to changes in foreign exchange 
rates or their implied volatilities.

 } Interest rate risk is the potential loss arising from the change in the 
value of a financial instrument due to changes in market interest 
rates or their implied volatilities.

 } Credit spread risk is the potential loss arising from a change in 

value of an instrument due to a movement of its margin or spread 
relative to a benchmark.

 } Commodity risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the 
value of a financial instrument due to changes in commodity prices 
or their implied volatilities.

 } Equity risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the value 
of a financial instrument due to changes in stock prices or their 
implied volatilities.

b) Non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk)

This comprises the management of non-traded interest rate risk, 
liquidity, and the risk to the Australian dollar denominated value 
of the Group’s capital and earnings as a result of foreign exchange 
rate movements.

Some instruments do not fall into either category that also expose 
ANZ to market risk. These include equity securities classified as 
available-for-sale financial assets.

value at Risk (vaR) measure
A key measure of market risk is Value at Risk (VaR). VaR is a statistical 
estimate of the possible daily loss and is based on historical 
market movements. 

ANZ measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval. This means that 
there is a 99% chance that the loss will not exceed the VaR estimate 
on any given day.

The Group’s standard VaR approach for both traded and non-traded 
risk is historical simulation. The Group calculates VaR using historical 
changes in market rates, prices and volatilities over the previous 
500 business days. Traded and non-traded VaR is calculated using a 
one-day holding period.

It should be noted that because VaR is driven by actual historical 
observations, it is not an estimate of the maximum loss that the 
Group could experience from an extreme market event. As a result 
of this limitation, the Group utilises a number of other risk measures 
(e.g. stress testing) and risk sensitivity limits to measure and manage 
market risk.

VaR is calculated separately for foreign exchange, interest rate, credit, commodity and equities and for the Group. The diversification 
benefit reflects the historical correlation between these products. Electricity commodities risk is measured under the standard approach for 
regulatory purposes.

To supplement the VaR methodology, ANZ applies a wide range of stress tests, both on individual portfolios and at a Group level. ANZ ‘s 
stress-testing regime provides senior management with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on market risk 
exposures of ANZ. Standard stress tests are applied on a daily basis and measure the potential loss arising from applying extreme market 
movements to individual and groups of individual price factors. Extraordinary stress tests are applied monthly and measure the potential loss 
arising as a result of scenarios generated from major financial market events.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)33: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Non-traded Market Risk (Balance Sheet Risk)
The principal objectives of balance sheet management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate the 
negative impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of the Group’s banking book, while ensuring the Group 
maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.

Interest rate risk
The objective of balance sheet interest rate risk management is to secure stable and optimal net interest income over both the short 
(next 12 months) and long-term. Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on the 
Group’s future net interest income. This risk arises from two principal sources: mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets 
and liabilities; and the investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities in interest bearing assets. Interest rate risk is reported using 
various techniques including: VaR and scenario analysis (to a 1% shock).

a) VaR non-traded interest rate risk

The repricing assumptions used to determine the VaR and 1% rate shock have been independently validated. Below are aggregate VaR figures 
covering non-traded interest rate risk.

VaR is calculated separately for the Australia, New Zealand and APEA geographies, as well as for the Group.

To supplement the VaR methodology, ANZ applies a wide range of stress tests, both on individual portfolios and at Group level. ANZ’s stress 
testing regime provides senior management with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on market risk exposures 
of ANZ.

b) Scenario Analysis – a 1% shock on the next 12 months’ net interest income

A 1% overnight parallel positive shift in the yield curve is modelled to determine the potential impact on net interest income over the 
succeeding 12 months. This is a standard risk measure which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.

The figures in the table below indicate the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years – expressed as a percentage 
of reported net interest income. The sign indicates the nature of the rate sensitivity with a positive number signifying that a rate increase is 
positive for net interest income over the next 12 months.

The extent of mismatching between the repricing characteristics and timing of interest bearing assets and liabilities at any point has 
implications for future net interest income. On a global basis, the Group quantifies the potential variation in future net interest income as a result 
of these repricing mismatches.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  139

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201333: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Interest rate risk (continued)
The repricing gaps themselves are constructed based on contractual repricing information. However, for those assets and liabilities where the 
contractual term to repricing is not considered to be reflective of the actual interest rate sensitivity (for example, products priced at the Group’s 
discretion), a profile based on historically observed and/or anticipated rate sensitivity is used. This treatment excludes the effect of basis risk 
between customer pricing and wholesale market pricing. 

Equity securities classified as available-for-sale
The portfolio of financial assets, classified as available-for-sale for measurement and financial reporting purposes, also contains equity 
investment holdings which predominantly comprise investments held for longer term strategic intentions. These equity investments are also 
subject to market risk which is not captured by the VaR measures for traded and non-traded market risks. Regular reviews are performed 
to substantiate valuation of the investments within the portfolio and the equity investments are regularly reviewed by management for 
impairment. The fair value of the equity securities can fluctuate.

The Group’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a set of 
principles which are approved by the ANZ Board Risk Committee. 
The core objective of the overall framework is to ensure that the 
Group has sufficient liquidity to meet obligations as they fall due, 
without incurring unacceptable losses. In response to the impact 
of the global financial crisis, the framework has been reviewed 
and updated. The following key components underpin the 
overall framework:
 } Maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in the 

immediate term;

 } Ensuring that the Group has the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’ 
under a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress 
scenarios, at the site and Group-wide level, to meet cash flow 
obligations over the short to medium term;

 } Maintaining strength in the Group’s balance sheet structure to 

ensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;
 } Limiting the potential earnings at risk implications associated with 
unexpected increases in funding costs or the liquidation of assets 
under stress;

 } Ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with 

local regulatory requirements;

 } Preparation of daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis, 

quantifying the Group’s positions;

 } Targeting a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations 

by investor type, maturity, market source and currency;
 } Holding a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to protect

foreign currency risk – structural exposures
The investment of capital in foreign operations, such as branches, 
subsidiaries or associates with functional currencies other than the 
Australian dollar, exposes the Group to the risk of changes in foreign 
exchange rates.

The main operating (or functional) currencies of Group entities 
are the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and the US dollar, 
with a number of overseas undertakings operating in various other 
currencies. The Group presents its consolidated financial statements 
in Australian dollars, as the Australian dollar is the dominant currency. 
The Group’s consolidated balance sheet is therefore affected by 
exchange differences between the Australian dollar and functional 
currencies of foreign operations. Variations in the value of these 
overseas operations arising as a result of exchange differences are 
reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

The Group routinely monitors this risk and conducts hedging, where 
it is expected to add shareholder value, in accordance with approved 
policies. The Group’s exposures to structural foreign currency risks 
are managed with the primary objective of ensuring, where practical, 
that the consolidated capital ratios are neutral to the effect of 
changes in exchange rates.

Selective hedges were in place during the 2013 and 2012 financial 
years. For details on the hedging instruments used and effectiveness 
of hedges of net investments in foreign operations, refer to note 12 
to these financial statements. The Group’s economic hedges against 
New Zealand Dollar and US Dollar revenue streams are included 
within ‘Trading derivatives’ at note 12.

Liquidity Risk (Excludes Insurance and funds Management)
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment 
obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or 
maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity 
to fund increases in assets. The timing mismatch of cash flows and 
the related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations and is 
closely monitored by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio 
of liquid assets to manage potential stresses in funding sources. 
The minimum level of liquidity portfolio assets to hold is based on a 
range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios 
such that potential cash flow obligations can be met over the short to 
medium term.

Scenario modelling
A key component of the Group’s liquidity management framework 
is scenario modelling. APRA requires ADIs to assess liquidity under 
different scenarios, including the ‘going-concern’ and ‘name-crisis’. 

‘Going-concern’: reflects the normal behaviour of cash flows in the 
ordinary course of business. APRA requires that the Group must be 
able to meet all commitments and obligations under a going concern 
scenario, within the ADIs normal funding capacity (‘available to fund’ 
limit), over at least the following 30 calendar days. In estimating 
the funding requirement, the Group models expected cashflows by 
reference to historical behaviour and contractual maturity data.

‘Name-crisis’: refers to a potential name-specific liquidity crisis which 
models the behaviour of cash flows where there is a problem (real 
or perceived) which may include, but is not limited to, operational 
issues, doubts about the solvency of the Group or adverse rating 
changes. Under this scenario the Group may have significant difficulty 
rolling over or replacing funding. Under a name crisis, APRA requires 
the Group to be cashflow positive over a five business day period.

‘Survival horizons’: The Global financial crisis has highlighted 
the importance of differentiating between stressed and normal 
market conditions in a name-specific crisis, and the different 
behaviour that offshore and domestic wholesale funding markets 
can exhibit during market stress events. As a result, the Group has 
enhanced its liquidity risk scenario modelling, to supplement APRA’s 
statutory requirements. 

The Group has linked its liquidity risk appetite to defined liquidity 
‘survival horizons’ (i.e. the time period under which ANZ must 
maintain a positive cashflow position under a specific scenario or 
stress). Under these scenarios, customer and/or wholesale balance 
sheet asset/liability flows are stressed. The following stressed 
scenarios are modelled:
 } Extreme Short Term Crisis Scenario (ESTC): A name-specific stress 

during a period of market stress.

 } Short Term Crisis Scenario (NSTC): A name-specific stress during a 

period of normal markets conditions.

 } Global Funding Market Disruption (GFMD): Stressed global 

wholesale funding markets leading to a closure of domestic and 
offshore markets.

 } Offshore Funding Market Disruption (OFMD): Stressed global 
wholesale funding markets leading to a closure of offshore 
markets only.

Each of ANZ’s operations is responsible for ensuring its compliance 
with all scenarios that are required to be modelled. Additionally, we 
measure, monitor and manage all modelled liquidity scenarios on an 
aggregated Group-wide level.

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

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

Supplementing the prime liquid asset portfolio, the Group holds 
additional liquidity; 
 } central bank deposits with the US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, 

Bank of Japan and European Central Bank of $21.2 billion,

 } Australian Commonwealth and State Government securities of 
$6.9 billion and gold & precious metals of $2.9 billion, and, 

 } cash and other securities to satisfy local country regulatory liquidity 

requirements which are not included in the liquid assets below.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201333: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Liquidity Crisis Contingency Planning 
The Group maintains APRA-endorsed liquidity crisis contingency 
plans defining an approach for analysing and responding to a 
liquidity threatening event at a country and Group-wide level. 
To align with the enhanced liquidity scenario analysis framework, 
crisis management strategies are assessed against the Group’s crisis 
stress scenarios.

Group funding
ANZ manages its funding profile using a range of funding metrics 
and balance sheet disciplines. This approach is designed to ensure 
that an appropriate proportion of the Group’s assets are funded 
by stable funding sources including core customer deposits, 
longer-dated wholesale funding (with a remaining term exceeding 
one year) and equity. 

The framework is compliant with APRA’s key liquidity contingency 
crisis planning requirements and guidelines and includes:
 } The establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;
 } Clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;
 } Early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, and 

mechanisms to monitor and report these signals;

 } Crisis Declaration Assessment processes, and related escalation 

triggers set against early warning signals;

 } Outlined action plans, and courses of action for altering asset and 

liability behaviour;

 } Procedures for crisis management reporting, and making up 

cash-flow shortfalls;

 } Guidelines determining the priority of customer relationships in 

the event of liquidity problems; and

 } Assigned responsibilities for internal and external communications.

Regulatory change
The Basel 3 Liquidity changes include the introduction of two new 
liquidity ratios to measure liquidity risk (the Liquidity Coverage Ratio 
(LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)). A component of the 
liquidity required under the proposed standards will likely be met 
via the previously announced Committed Liquidity Facility from the 
Reserve Bank of Australian (RBA), however the size and availability 
of the facility has not yet been agreed with APRA and the RBA. 
While ANZ has an existing stress scenario framework and structural 
liquidity risk metrics and limits in place, the requirements proposed 
are in general more challenging. These changes may impact the 
future composition and size of ANZ’s liquidity portfolio, the size 
and composition of the Bank’s funding base and consequently 
could affect future profitability. The Basel Committee on Banking 
Supervision released revised LCR details in January 2013 which 
included the re-calibration of certain balance sheet ‘run-off factors’. 
APRA released a second draft Prudential Standard on its requirements 
in May 2013 which largely adopted the recalibrated Basel runoff 
factors. ANZ is expecting a final Prudential Standard from APRA 
before the end of the 2013 calendar year as well as draft standards on 
Basel 3 Liquidity implementation from some offshore regulators from 
late 2013 onwards.

The Group’s global wholesale funding strategy is designed to 
deliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances cost 
efficiency against prudent diversification and duration. 

Funding plans and performance relative to those plans are reported 
regularly to senior management via the Group Asset and Liability 
Committee (GALCO). These plans address customer balance sheet 
growth and changes in wholesale funding including, targeted 
funding volumes, markets, investors, tenors and currencies for senior, 
subordinated and hybrid transactions. Plans are supplemented with 
a monthly forecasting process which reviews the funding position 
to-date in light of market conditions and balance sheet requirements.

Funding plans are generated through the three-year strategic 
planning process. Asset and deposit plans are submitted at the 
business segment level with the wholesale funding requirements 
then derived at the geographic level. To the extent that asset growth 
exceeds funding generated from customer deposits, additional 
wholesale funds are sourced. 

Short-term wholesale funding requirements, with a contractual 
maturity of less than one year, are managed through Group Treasury 
and local Markets operations. Long-term wholesale funding is 
managed and executed through Group Treasury operations in 
Australia and New Zealand.

funding Position 2013
ANZ targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations 
by investor type, maturity, market source and currency. 

$23.7 billion of term wholesale debt (with a remaining term greater 
than one year as at September 30, 2013) was issued during the 
financial year ended 30 September 2013. In addition, $1.1 billion of 
ANZ Capital Notes and $0.4 billion of ANZ Wealth bonds were issued. 
 } Access to all major global wholesale funding markets remained 

available to ANZ during 2013.

 } All wholesale funding needs were comfortably met.
 } The weighted average tenor of new term debt was 4.3 years 

(4.6 years in 2012).

 } The weighted average cost of new term debt issuance decreased in 
FY13 as a result of improved market conditions. Although average 
portfolio costs remain substantially above pre-crisis levels, they 
have started to decrease from these elevated levels during 2013.

Credit related contingencies
Undrawn facilities and issued guarantees comprise the nominal principal amounts of commitments, contingencies and other undrawn facilities 
and represents the maximum liquidity at risk position should all facilities extended be drawn.

The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to customers maintaining specific credit and other requirements or conditions. Many of these 
facilities are expected to be partially used, whereas others may never be required to be drawn upon. As such, the total of the nominal principal 
amounts is not necessarily representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements.

The tables below analyse the Group’s and Company’s undrawn facilities and issued guarantees into relevant maturity groupings based on the 
earliest date on which ANZ may be required to pay.

Membership of OREC comprises senior executives and the committee 
is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer.

ANZ’s Operational Risk Measurement and Management Framework 
(ORMMF) outlines the approach to managing operational risk. 
It specifically covers the minimum requirements that divisions/
business units must undertake to identify, assess, measure, monitor, 
control and manage operational risk in accordance to the Board 
approved risk appetite. ANZ does not expect to eliminate all risks, 
but to ensure that the residual risk exposure is managed as low as 
reasonably practical based on a sound risk/reward analysis in the 
context of an international financial institution. ANZ’s ORMMF is 
supported by specific policies and procedures with the effectiveness 
of the framework assessed through a series of governance and 
assurance reviews. This is supported by an independent review 
programme by Internal Audit.

Divisional Risk Committees and Business Unit Risk Forums manage 
and maintain oversight of operational and compliance risks 
supported by thresholds for escalation and monitoring which 
is used to inform and support senior management strategic 
business decision making. Day to day management of operational 
and compliance risk is the accountability of every employee. 
Business Units undertake operational risk activities as part of 
this accountability. Divisional risk personnel provide oversight of 
operational risk undertaken in the Business Units.

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

Life insurance risk
Although not a significant contributor to the Group’s balance sheet, 
the Group’s insurance businesses give rise to unique risks which are 
managed separately from the Group’s banking businesses. The nature 
of these risks and the manner in which they are managed is set out in 
note 48. 

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

The ANZ Board has delegated its powers to the Risk Committee to 
approve the ANZ Operational Risk Framework which is in accordance 
with Australian Prudential Standard APS 115 Capital Adequacy: 
Advanced Measurement Approaches to Operational Risk. Operational 
Risk Executive Committee (OREC) is the primary senior executive 
management forum responsible for the oversight of operational risk 
and the compliance risk control environment. OREC supports the Risk 
Committee in relation to the carrying out of its role in connection 
with operational risk and compliance.

OREC monitors the state of operational risk and compliance 
management and will instigate any necessary corrective actions. 
Key responsibilities of OREC include: 
 } Ensuring the execution of ANZ’s Operational Risk Measurement 

and Management Framework and Compliance Framework 

 } Ensuring the execution of Board approved Operational Risk and 

Compliance Policies 

 } Monitor and approve the treatment plans for Extreme rated risks
 } Review material (actual, potential and near miss) operational risk 

and compliance events

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)33: Financial Risk Management (continued)

Group Compliance has global oversight responsibility for the ANZ 
Compliance Framework, and each division has responsibility for 
embedding the framework into its business operations, identifying 
applicable regulatory compliance obligations, and escalating 
when breaches occur. The Compliance Framework fosters an 
integrated approach where staff are responsible and accountable 
for compliance, either within their job role, or within their area 
of influence.

The integration of the Operational Risk Measurement and 
Management and Compliance Frameworks, supported by common 
policies, procedures and tools allows for a simple and consistent way 
to identify, assess, measure and monitor risks across ANZ.

In line with industry practice, ANZ obtains insurance cover from 
third party and captive providers to cover those operational risks 
where cost-effective premiums can be obtained. In conducting their 
business, business units are advised to act as if uninsured and not 

to use insurance as a guaranteed mitigation for operational risk. 
Business disruption is a critical risk to a bank’s ability to operate, 
so ANZ has comprehensive business continuity, recovery and 
crisis management plans. The intention of the business continuity 
and recovery plans is to ensure critical business functions can be 
maintained, or restored in a timely fashion, in the event of material 
disruptions arising from internal or external events. 

Group Operational Risk is responsible for maintaining ANZ’s 
Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk. 
Operational risk capital is held to protect depositors and shareholders 
of the bank from rare and severe unexpected losses. ANZ maintains 
and calculates operational risk capital (including regulatory and 
economic capital), on at least a six monthly basis. The capital is 
calculated using scaled external loss data, internal loss data and 
scenarios as a direct input and risk registers as an indirect input.

34: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a 
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s 
length transaction. The determination of the fair value of financial 
instruments is fundamental to the financial reporting framework as 
all financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and, with 
the exception of those financial instruments carried at amortised cost, 
are remeasured at fair value in subsequent periods. 

Financial asset classes have been allocated into the following groups: 
amortised cost; financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; 
derivatives in effective hedging relationships; and available-for-sale 
financial assets. Similarly, each class of financial liability has been 
allocated into three groups: amortised cost; derivatives in effective 
hedging relationships; and financial liabilities at fair value through 
profit and loss.

The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is 
normally the transaction price, however, in certain circumstances 
the initial fair value may be based on other observable current 
market transactions in the same instrument, without modification 
or repackaging, or on a valuation technique whose variables include 
only data from observable markets. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of financial 
instruments measured at fair value is based on quoted market 
prices, where available. In cases where quoted market prices are not 
available, fair value is determined using market accepted valuation 
techniques that employ observable market data. In limited cases 
where observable market data is not available, the input is estimated 
based on other observable market data, historical trends and other 
factors that may be relevant.

(i)  fAIR  vALUES Of fINANCIAL  ASSETS 

AND fINANCIAL  LIABILITIES

A significant number of financial instruments are carried at fair value 
in the balance sheet. Below is a comparison of the carrying amounts, 
as reported on the balance sheet, and fair values of all financial 
assets and liabilities. The fair value disclosure does not cover those 
instruments that are not considered financial instruments from an 
accounting perspective such as income tax and intangible assets. 
In management’s view, the aggregate fair value amounts do not 
represent the underlying value of the Group.

In the tables below, financial instruments have been allocated based 
on their accounting treatment. The significant accounting policies in 
note 1 describe how the categories of financial assets and financial 
liabilities are measured and how income and expenses, including fair 
value gains and losses, are recognised. 

The fair values are based on relevant information available as at the 
respective balance sheet dates and have not been updated to reflect 
changes in market condition after the balance sheet date.

Liquid assets and due from/to other financial institutions
The carrying values of these financial instruments where there has 
been no significant change in credit risk is considered to approximate 
their net fair values as they are short-term in nature, defined as 
those which reprice or mature in 90 days or less, or are receivable 
on demand. 

Trading Securities
Trading securities are carried at fair value. Fair value is based on 
quoted market prices, broker or dealer price quotations, or modelled 
valuations using prices for securities with similar credit risk, maturity 
and yield characteristics.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. Exchange 
traded derivative financial instruments are valued using quoted 
prices. Over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are valued 
using accepted valuation models (including discounted cash 
flow models) based on current market yields for similar types of 
instruments adjusted to account for funding risk inherent in the 
derivative financial instrument, the maturity of each instrument and 
an adjustment reflecting the credit worthiness of the counterparty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  147

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201334: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

Investments relating to insurance business
Investments backing policy liabilities are carried at fair value. Fair 
value is based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer price 
quotations where available. Where substantial trading markets do not 
exist for a specific financial instrument modelled valuations are used 
to estimate their approximate fair values. 

Other financial assets
Included in this category are accrued interest and fees receivable. 
The carrying values of accrued interest and fees receivable are 
considered to approximate their net fair values as they are short-term 
in nature or are receivable on demand.

Available-for-sale assets
Available-for-sale assets are carried at fair value. Fair value is based 
on quoted market prices or broker or dealer price quotations. If this 
information is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market 
prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics, 
or market accepted valuation models as appropriate (including 
discounted cash flow models) based on current market yields for similar 
types of instruments and the maturity of each instrument.

Net loans and advances
The carrying value of loans and advances includes deferred fees 
and expenses, and is net of provision for credit impairment and 
unearned income. 

Fair value has been determined through discounting future cash 
flows. For fixed rate loans and advances, the discount rate applied 
incorporates changes in wholesale market rates, the Group’s cost of 
wholesale funding and the customer margin. For floating rate loans, 
only changes in wholesale market rates and the Group’s cost of 
wholesale funding are incorporated in the discount rate. For variable 
rate loans where the Group sets the applicable rate at its discretion, 
the fair value is set equal to the carrying value.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201334: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

Deposits and other borrowings
For interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and other borrowings 
and acceptances with quoted market prices, market borrowing 
rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount 
contractual cash flows. The fair value of a deposit liability without a 
specified maturity or at call is deemed to be the amount payable on 
demand at the reporting date. The fair value is not adjusted for any 
value expected to be derived from retaining the deposit for a future 
period of time.

Certain deposits and other borrowings have been designated at fair 
value through profit or loss and are carried at fair value. 

Bonds and Notes and Loan Capital
The aggregate fair value of bonds and notes and loan capital is 
calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs 
where applicable. For those debt issues where quoted market prices 
were not available, a discounted cash flow model using a yield 
curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity of the debt 
instrument is used.

Certain bonds and notes and loan capital have been designated at 
fair value through profit or loss and are carried at fair value. The fair 

financial liabilities

value is based on a discounted cash flow model based on current 
market yields for similar types of instruments and the maturity of 
each instrument. The fair value includes the effects of the appropriate 
credit spreads applicable to ANZ for that instrument.

External Unit Holder Liabilities (Life Insurance funds)
The carrying amount represents the external unit holder’s share of 
net assets which are carried at fair value in the fund. 

Policy liabilities
Life investment contract liabilities are carried at fair value.

Payables and other financial liabilities
This category includes accrued interest and fees payable for which 
the carrying amount is considered to approximate the fair value.

Commitments and contingencies
Adjustments to fair value for commitments and contingencies that 
are not financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet, are not 
included in this note.

1  Derivative financial instruments classified as ‘held for trading’ include derivatives entered into as economic hedges which are not designated as accounting hedges.
2   Fair value hedging is applied to financial liabilities within bonds and notes and loan capital. The resulting fair value adjustments mean that the carrying value differs from the amortised cost.
3 

Includes life insurance contract liabilities of $685 million (2012: $774 million) measured in accordance with AASB 1038 Life insurance contract liabilities and life investment contract liabilities of 
$31,703 million (2012: $28,763 million) which have been designated at fair value through profit or loss in terms under AASB 139. None of the fair value is attributable to changes in the credit risk 
of the life investment contract liabilities. 

(ii) vALUATION  METHODOLOGY

A significant number of financial instruments are carried on balance 
sheet at fair value.

The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price in an active market. 
Accordingly, wherever possible fair value is based on the quoted 
market price of the financial instrument.

In the event that there is no quoted market price for the instrument, 
fair value is based on present value estimates or other market 
accepted valuation techniques. The valuation models incorporate the 
impact of bid/ask spreads, counterparty credit spreads, funding costs 
and other factors that would influence the fair value determined by a 
market participant.

The majority of valuation techniques employ only observable 
market data. However, for certain financial instruments the valuation 
technique may employ some data (valuation inputs or components) 
which is not readily observable in the current market. In these 
cases valuation inputs (or components of the overall value) are 
derived and extrapolated from other relevant market data and 
tested against historic transactions and observed market trends. 
Valuations using one or more non–observable data inputs require 
professional judgement.

ANZ has a control framework that ensures that the fair value is either 
determined or validated by a function independent of the party that 
undertakes the transaction. 

Where quoted market prices are used, independent price 
determination or validation is obtained. For fair values determined 
using a valuation model, the control framework may include, as 
applicable, independent development or validation of: (i) valuation 
models; (ii) any inputs to those models; and (iii) any adjustments 
required outside of the valuation model, and, where possible, 
independent validation of model outputs.

The tables below provide an analysis of the methodology used for 
valuing financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value. 
The fair value of the financial instrument has been allocated in full 
to the category in a fair value hierarchy which most appropriately 
reflects the determination of the fair value. This allocation is based 
on the categorisation of the lowest level input or component into a 
valuation model that is significant to the reported fair value of the 
financial instrument. The significance of an input is assessed against 
the reported fair value of the financial instrument and considers 
various factors specific to the financial instrument. 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  151

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201334: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

The allocation into the fair value hierarchy is determined as follows:
 } Level 1 – Financial instruments that have been valued by reference 

to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical 
financial assets or liabilities. This category includes financial 
instruments valued using quoted yields where available for 
specific debt securities.

 } Level 2 – Financial instruments that have been valued through 
valuation techniques incorporating inputs other than quoted 
prices within Level 1 that are observable for the financial asset or 
liability, either directly or indirectly.

 } Level 3 – Financial instruments that have been valued using 

valuation techniques which incorporate significant inputs for the 
financial asset or liability that are not based on observable market 
data (unobservable inputs).

The methods used in valuing different classes of financial assets or 
liabilities are described in section (i) on pages 147 to 151. There have 
been no substantial changes in the valuation techniques applied 
to different classes of financial instruments since the previous 
year. The Group continuously monitors the relevance of inputs 
used and calibrates its valuation models where there is evidence 
that changes are required to ensure that the resulting valuations 
remain appropriate.

Asset backed securities and illiquid corporate bonds comprise illiquid 
bonds where the effect on fair value of issuer credit cannot be directly 
or indirectly observed in the market. 

Managed funds (suspended) are comprised of fixed income and 
mortgage investments in managed funds that are illiquid and are not 
currently redeemable.

Structured credit products categorised as derivatives comprise the 
structured credit intermediation trades that the Group entered into 
from 2004 to 2007 whereby it sold protection using credit default 
swaps over certain structures, and mitigated risk by purchasing 
protection via credit default swaps from US financial guarantors over 
the same structures. These trades are valued using complex models 
with certain inputs relating to the reference assets and derivative 
counterparties not being observable in the market. 

Structured credit products categorised as investments relating to 
insurance business comprise collateralised debt and loan obligations 
where there is a lack of active trading and limited observable 
market data. 

Alternative assets are largely comprised of various investments 
in unlisted equity securities. No active market exists for these 
securities and the valuation model incorporates significant 
unobservable inputs.

Other derivatives predominantly comprise interest rate swaptions 
containing multi-callable features. Modelling uncertainties and 
complexities are inherent in the valuation model which result in a 
significant range of possible valuation outcomes for these financial 
assets and liabilities.

Transfers out of Level 3 relate principally to certain assets and 
liabilities where the valuation model has been altered to include 
only observable inputs. 

Transfers in to Level 3 predominantly comprise reverse mortgage 
swaps where certain valuation parameters became unobservable 
during the year. 

Sensitivity to data inputs
Where valuation techniques use assumptions due to significant data 
inputs not being directly observed in the market place, changing these 
assumptions changes the resultant estimate of fair value. The Group’s 
exposure to financial instruments whose valuations incorporate 
significant unobservable inputs is limited to a small number of financial 
instruments which comprise an insignificant component to total 
assets and liabilities measured at fair value. In these circumstances, 
changes in the assumptions generally have minimal impact on the 
income statement and net assets of ANZ. An exception to this is the 
‘back-to-back’ structured credit intermediation trades which although 
do not have a significant impact on the current year’s sensitivity 
analysis due to the benign current market environment, could have a 
larger impact should market conditions change. This is as a result of 
their significant exposure to market risk and/or credit risk. 

Principal inputs used in the determination of fair value of financial 
instruments included in this group include counterparty credit spreads, 
market-quoted CDS prices, recovery rates, default probabilities, 
correlation curves and other inputs, some of which may not be directly 
observable in the market. For both the Group and the Company, the 
potential effect of changing prevailing assumptions to reasonably 
possible alternative assumptions for valuing these financial instruments 
could result in an increase of $10 million (2012: $27 million) or a decrease 
of $7 million (2012: $18 million) in net derivative financial instruments 
as at 30 September 2013. The ranges of reasonably possible alternative 
assumptions are established by application of professional judgement 
and analysis of the data available to support each assumption.

154

Deferred fair value gains and losses
Where the fair value of a financial instrument is determined using 
non-observable data that has a significant impact on the valuation 
of the instrument, any difference between the transaction price and 
the amount determined based on the valuation technique arising on 
initial recognition of the financial instrument (day one gain or loss) is 
deferred on the balance sheet. Subsequently, the day one gain or loss 
is recognised in the income statement only to the extent that it arises 
from a change in factors (including time) that a market participant 
would consider in setting the price for the instrument.

The aggregate amount of day one gain/(loss) not recognised in 
the income statement on the initial recognition of the financial 
instrument, because the difference between the transaction price and 
the modelled valuation price was not fully supported by inputs that 
were observable, amounted to $4 million (2012: $4 million). $1 million 
(2012: $3 million) in unrecognised gains was added during the year 
with $1 million (2012: $1 million) being recognised in the income 
statement during the year through the amortisation process.

(iv)  ADDITIONAL INfORMATION  fOR fINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
DESIGNATED AT fAIR vALUE THROUGH PROfIT  OR LOSS

financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
The category, loans and advances, includes certain loans designated 
at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate an accounting 
mismatch which would arise if the asset were otherwise carried 
at amortised cost. This mismatch arises as the derivative financial 
instruments, which were acquired to mitigate interest rate risk of the 
loans and advances, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
By designating the economically hedged loans, the movements in 
the fair value attributable to changes in interest rate risk will also be 
recognised in the income statement in the same periods.

At balance date, the credit exposure of the Group on these assets was 
$136 million (2012: $104 million) and for the Company was $94 million 
(2012: $65 million). For the Group and Company $66 million (2012: 
$66 million) of this exposure was mitigated by collateral held. 

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)34: Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (continued)

The cumulative change in fair value attributable to change in 
credit risk was, for the Group, a reduction to the assets of $2 million 
(2012: $4 million). For the Company the cumulative change to the assets 
was $nil (2012: $nil). The amount recognised in the income statement 
attributable to changes in credit risk for the Group was a gain of 
$2 million (2012: $1 million loss) and for the Company $nil (2012: $nil).

The change in fair value of the designated financial assets attributable 
to changes in credit risk has been calculated by determining the 
change in credit rating and credit spread implicit in the loans and 
advances issued by entities with similar credit characteristics.

financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss 
Parts of loan capital, bonds and notes and deposits and other 
borrowings have been designated as financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss in order to eliminate an accounting 

mismatch which would arise if the liabilities were otherwise carried 
at amortised cost. This mismatch arises as the derivatives acquired to 
mitigate interest rate risk within the financial liabilities are measured 
at fair value through profit or loss. 

Life investment contracts are designated at fair value through profit 
or loss in accordance with AASB 1038. 

External unitholder liabilities, which are not included in the table 
below, represent the external unitholder share of the ‘Investments 
relating to insurance business’ which are designated at fair value 
through the profit or loss. 

The table below compares the carrying amount of financial liabilities

36: Segment Analysis

(i) DESCRIPTION  Of SEGMENTS

The Group operates on a divisional structure with Australia, IIB, New Zealand and Global Wealth being the major operating divisions. The IIB and 
Global Wealth divisions are co-ordinated globally.

The segments and product and services categories as reported below are consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker, being the Chief Executive Officer.

The primary sources of external revenue across all divisions are interest income, fee income and trading income. The Australia and New Zealand 
divisions derive revenue from products and services from retail banking and commercial banking. IIB derives its revenue from retail banking, and 
institutional and commercial products and services. Global Wealth derives revenue from wealth products and private banking. GTSO (including 
Group Centre) provides support to all divisions, including risk management, financial management, strategy and marketing, human resources 
and corporate affairs.

Effective 1 October 2012, Corporate Banking Australia transferred to Australia Division from IIB and comparatives have been restated accordingly.

(ii) OPERATING  SEGMENTS

Transactions between business units across segments within ANZ are conducted on an arms length basis.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)40: Transfers of Financial Assets

The Group enters into transactions in the normal course of business 
by which it transfers financial assets directly to third parties or to 
special purpose entities (SPEs). These transfers may give rise to the 
full or partial derecognition of those financial assets.
 } Full derecognition occurs when the Group transfers its contractual 
right to receive cash flows from the financial assets, or retains the 
right but assumes an obligation to pass on the cash flows from 
the asset, and transfers substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership. These risks include credit, interest rate, currency, 
prepayment and other price risks.

 } Partial derecognition occurs when the Group sells or otherwise 

transfers financial assets in such a way that some, but not 
substantially all, of the risks and rewards of ownership are 
transferred but control is retained. These financial assets continue 
to be recognised on the balance sheet to the extent of the Group’s 
continuing involvement.

Group-originated financial assets that do not qualify for 
derecognition typically relate to repurchase agreements and loans 
that have been transferred under arrangements by which the Group 
retains a continuing involvement in the transferred assets. Continuing 
involvement may entail retaining the rights to future cash flows 
arising from the assets after investors have received their contractual 
terms, providing subordinated interests, liquidity support, continuing 
to service the underlying asset and entering into derivative 
transactions with the SPEs. In such instances, the Group continues 
to be exposed to risks associated with these transactions.

SECURITISATIONS

Net loans and advances include residential mortgages securitised 
under the Group’s securitisation programs which are assigned to 
bankruptcy remote SPEs to provide security for obligations payable 
on the notes issued by the SPEs. This includes mortgages that 
are held for potential repurchase agreement (REPO) with central 
banks. The noteholders have full recourse to the pool of residential 
mortgages which have been securitised. The Company cannot 
otherwise pledge or dispose of the transferred assets.

As holder of the securitised notes the Company retains the credit risk 
associated with the securitised mortgages. In addition, the Company 
is entitled to any residual income of the SPEs and, where the SPEs 
include interest rate and foreign currency derivatives that have not 
been externalised, the interest rate and foreign currency risk are held 
in the Company. The Company is therefore deemed to have retained 

the majority of the risks and rewards of the residential mortgages 
and as such continues to recognise the mortgages as financial assets. 
The obligations to repay this amount to the SPE is recognised as a 
financial liability of the Company. As the Group has control over the 
SPEs’ activities, they are consolidated by the Group. 

COvERED  BONDS

The Group operates various global covered bond programs to 
raise funding in the primary market. Net loans and advances 
include residential mortgages assigned to bankruptcy remote SPEs 
associated with these covered bond programs to provide security for 
the obligations payable on the covered bonds issued by the Group. 
The covered bond holders have dual recourse to the issuer and the 
cover pool of assets. The issuer cannot otherwise pledge or dispose 
of the transferred assets, however, it may repurchase and substitute 
assets as long as the required cover is maintained. 

The Company, as an issuer of covered bonds is required to maintain 
the cover pool at a level sufficient to cover the bond obligations. 
Therefore, the majority of the credit risk associated with the 
underlying mortgages within the cover pool is retained by the 
Company. In addition, the Company is entitled to any residual income 
of the covered bond SPE and where the SPE includes interest rate 
and foreign currency derivatives that have not been externalised, 
the interest rate and foreign currency risk are held in the Company. 
The Company is therefore deemed to have retained the majority 
of the risks and rewards of the residential mortgages and as such 
continues to recognise the mortgages as financial assets. The 
obligation to repay this amount to the SPE is recognised as a financial 
liability of the Company. As the Group has control over the SPE’s 
activities, they are consolidated by the Group. The external covered 
bonds issued are included within Bonds and Notes. 

REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS

Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements are considered 
transferred assets that do not qualify for derecognition when 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the 
Group. An associated liability is recognised for the consideration 
received from the counterparty.

The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not 
qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities.

1   The consolidated balances are nil as the Company balances relate to transfers to internal special purpose vehicles. The total covered bonds issued by the Group to external investors at 

30 September 2013 was $17,639 million (2012: $11,162 million), secured by $21,770 million (2012: $15,276 million) of specified residential mortgages.

2  The securitisation noteholders have recourse only to the pool of residential mortgages which have been securitised. The carrying value of securitised assets and the associated liabilities 

approximate their fair value value.

3  The associated liability represents the Company’s liability to the covered bond SPE. Covered bonds issued by the Company to external investors at 30 September 2013 was $14,146 million  

(2012: $8,798 million).

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201341: Fiduciary Activities

The Group conducts various fiduciary activities as follows:

INvESTMENT  fIDUCIARY  ACTIvITIES  fOR  TRUSTS

The Group conducts investment fiduciary activities for trusts, including deceased estates. These trusts have not been consolidated as the Group 
does not have direct or indirect control.

Where the Company or its controlled entities incur liabilities in respect of these operations as trustee, where the primary obligation is incurred in 
an agency capacity as trustee of the trust rather than on the Group’s own account, a right of indemnity exists against the assets of the applicable 
funds or trusts. As these assets are sufficient to cover the liabilities and it is therefore not probable that the Company or its controlled entities will 
be required to settle the liabilities, the liabilities are not included in the financial statements.

The aggregate amounts of funds concerned are as follows:

Guarantees and contingent liabilities
Details of the estimated maximum amount of guarantees and contingent liabilities that may become payable are disclosed on the following 
pages. These guarantees and contingent liabilities relate to transactions that the Group has entered into as principal. 

Documentary letters of credit involve the issue of letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter secured against an underlying 
shipment of goods or backed by a confirmatory letter of credit from another bank.

Performance related contingencies are liabilities that oblige the Group to make payments to a third party should the customer fail to fulfil the 
non-monetary terms of the contract. 

To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, they are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral 
requirements for customers that apply for loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that could be lost if the 
counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not 
necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

OTHER BANK RELATED CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

GENERAL

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims 
against the Group, the aggregate amount of which cannot readily 
be quantified. Appropriate legal advice has been obtained and, 
in the light of such advice, provisions as deemed necessary have 
been made. In some instances we have not disclosed the estimated 
financial impact as this may prejudice the interests of the Group.

i) Exception fees class action
Litigation funder IMF (Australia) Ltd commenced a class action against 
ANZ in 2010, followed by a second similar class action in March 2013. 
The separate actions are claimed to be on behalf of more than 40,000 
ANZ customers for more than $50 million in fees claimed to have 
been charged to those customers. The second of the class actions is 
scheduled for trial commencing 2 December 2013. ANZ is defending 
it. In June 2013, litigation funder Litigation Lending Services (NZ) 
commenced a representative action against ANZ for certain fees 
charged to New Zealand customers since 2007. There is a risk that 
further claims could emerge in Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere.

ii) Security recovery actions
Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from 
security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets over recent 
years. ANZ will defend these claims and any future claims. 

iii) Contingent tax liability
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reviewing the taxation 
treatment of certain transactions undertaken by the Group in the 
course of normal business activities. 

Risk reviews and audits are also being undertaken by revenue 
authorities in other jurisdictions, as part of normal revenue authority 
activity in those countries.

The Group has assessed these and other taxation claims arising in 
Australia and elsewhere, including seeking independent advice 
where appropriate, and considers that it holds appropriate provisions.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201343: Credit Related Commitments, Guarantees, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (continued)

iv) Interbank Deposit Agreement
ANZ has entered into an Interbank Deposit Agreement with the major 
banks in the payment system. This agreement is a payment system 
support facility certified by APRA, where the terms are such that if 
any bank is experiencing liquidity problems, the other participants 
are required to deposit equal amounts of up to $2 billion for a period 
of 30 days. At the end of 30 days the deposit holder has the option to 
repay the deposit in cash or by way of assignment of mortgages to 
the value of the deposit.

v) Clearing and settlement obligations
In accordance with the clearing and settlement arrangements set out:
 } in the Australian Payments Clearing Association Limited’s 

Regulations for the Australian Paper Clearing System, the Bulk 
Electronic Clearing System, the Consumer Electronic Clearing 
System and the High Value Clearing System (HVCS), the Company 
has a commitment to comply with rules which could result in a 
bilateral exposure and loss in the event of a failure to settle by a 
member institution; and

 } in the Austraclear System Regulations (Austraclear) and the 

CLS Bank International Rules, the Company has a commitment to 
participate in loss-sharing arrangements in the event of a failure 
to settle by a member institution. 

For HVCS and Austraclear, the obligation arises only in limited 
circumstances.

vi)  Deed of Cross Guarantee in respect of certain 

controlled entities

Pursuant to class order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, 
relief was granted to a number of wholly owned controlled entities 
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, 
audit, and lodgement of individual financial statements in Australia. 
The results of these companies are included in the consolidated 
Group results. 

The entities to which relief was granted are:
 } ANZ Properties (Australia) Pty Ltd1
 } ANZ Capital Hedging Pty Ltd1
 } ANZ Orchard Investments Pty Ltd2
 } ANZ Securities (Holdings) Limited3
 } ANZ Commodity Trading Pty Ltd4
 } ANZ Funds Pty Ltd1
 } Votraint No. 1103 Pty Ltd2
 } ANZ Nominees Limited5

1  Relief originally granted on 21 August 2001.
2  Relief originally granted on 13 August 2002.
3  Relief originally granted on 9 September 2003.
4  Relief originally granted on 2 September 2008.
5  Relief originally granted on 11 February 2009.

It is a condition of the class order that the Company and each of 
the above controlled entities enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. 
A Deed of Cross Guarantee or subsequent Assumption Deeds 
under the class order were executed by them and lodged with the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The Deed of Cross 
Guarantee is dated 1 March 2006. The effect of the Deed is that the 
Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in 
the event of winding up any of the controlled entities under certain 
provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs in 
any other case, the Company will only be liable in the event that 
after six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The controlled 
entities have also given similar guarantees in the event that the 
Company is wound up.

vii) Sale of Grindlays businesses
On 31 July 2000, ANZ completed the sale to Standard Chartered 
Bank (SCB) of ANZ Grindlays Bank Limited and the private banking 
business of ANZ in the United Kingdom and Jersey, together 
with ANZ Grindlays (Jersey) Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, 
for USD1.3 billion in cash. ANZ provided warranties and certain 
indemnities relating to those businesses and, where it was 
anticipated that payments would be likely under the warranties 
or indemnities, made provisions to cover the anticipated liability. 
The issues below have not impacted adversely the reported results. 
All settlements, penalties and costs have been covered within 
existing provisions.

foreign Exchange Regulation Act (India)
In 1991 certain amounts were transferred from non-convertible 
Indian Rupee accounts maintained with Grindlays in India. These 
transactions may not have complied with the provisions of the 
Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. Grindlays, on its own 
initiative, brought these transactions to the attention of the Reserve 
Bank of India. The Indian authorities served notices on Grindlays and 
certain of its officers in India and civil penalties have been imposed 
which are the subject of appeals. Criminal prosecutions are pending 
and will be defended. The amounts in issue are not material.

Tax Indemnity 
ANZ provided an indemnity relating to tax liabilities of Grindlays 
(and its subsidiaries) and the Jersey Sub-Group to the extent to which 
such liabilities were not provided for in the Grindlays accounts as at 
31 July 2000. Claims have been made under this indemnity, with no 
material impact on the Group expected.

CONTINGENT ASSETS

National Housing Bank
ANZ is pursuing recovery of the proceeds of certain disputed cheques 
which were credited to the account of a former Grindlays customer in 
the early 1990s.

The disputed cheques were drawn on the National Housing Bank 
(NHB) in India. Proceedings between Grindlays and NHB concerning 
the proceeds of the cheques were resolved in early 2002.

Recovery is now being pursued from the estate of the Grindlays 
customer who received the cheque proceeds. Any amounts recovered 
are to be shared between ANZ and NHB.

fUNDING AND  CONTRIBUTION  INfORMATION  fOR  THE DEfINED  BENEfIT  SECTIONS  Of  THE SCHEMES

The funding and contribution information for the defined benefit sections of the schemes, as extracted from the schemes’ most recent financial 
reports, is set out below. 

In this financial report, the net (liability)/asset arising from the defined benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet has been determined 
in accordance with AASB 119. However, the excess or deficit of the net market value of assets over accrued benefits shown below has been 
determined in accordance with AAS 25 Financial Reporting by Superannuation Plans. The excess or deficit for funding purposes shown below 
differs from the net (liability)/asset in the balance sheet because AAS 25 prescribes a different measurement date and basis to those used for 
AASB 119 purposes.

Employer contributions to the defined benefit sections are based on recommendations by the schemes’ actuaries. Funding recommendations are 
made by the actuaries based on assumptions of various matters such as future investment performance, interest rates, salary increases, mortality rates 
and turnover levels. The funding methods adopted by the actuaries are intended to ensure that the benefit entitlements of employees are fully funded 
by the time they become payable.

The Group expects to make contributions of $67 million (2012: $61 million) to the defined benefit sections of the schemes during the next 
financial year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201344: Superannuation and Other Post Employment Benefit Schemes (continued)

The current contribution recommendations for the major defined sections of the schemes are described below.

ANZ AUSTRALIAN STAff SUPERANNUATION  SCHEME  PENSION  SECTION

The Pension Section of the ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme is closed to new members. An interim actuarial valuation, conducted 
by consulting actuaries Russell Employee Benefits as at 31 December 2012, showed a deficit of $8 million and the actuary recommended that 
the Group make contributions to the Pension Section of $4.7 million p.a. for the two years to 31 December 2014. The next full actuarial valuation 
is due to be conducted as at 31 December 2013.

The following economic assumptions were used in formulating the actuary’s funding recommendations:

Rate of investment return
Pension indexation rate

6.5% p.a.
2.5% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to commence contributions or fund the deficit. 

ANZ UK STAff PENSION  SCHEME

An actuarial valuation, conducted by consulting actuaries Towers Watson as at 31 December 2012, showed a deficit of GBP 97 million 
($168 million at 30 September 2013 exchange rates). 

Following the actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2012, the Group agreed to make regular contributions at the rate of 26% of pensionable 
salaries. These contributions are sufficient to cover the cost of accruing benefits. To address the deficit, the Group agreed to continue to pay 
additional quarterly contributions of GBP 7.5 million. These contributions will be reviewed following the next actuarial valuation which is 
scheduled to be undertaken as at 31 December 2015.

The following economic assumptions were used for the interim actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2012:

Rate of investment return on existing assets
– to 31 December 2018
– to 31 December 2033
Rate of investment return for determining ongoing contributions
Salary increases
Pension increases
In deferment increases

4.1% p.a.
2.8% p.a.
6.0% p.a.
3.4% p.a.
2.9% p.a.
2.2% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Scheme’s Trust Deed to fund the deficit measured under AAS 25. A contingent liability may arise in 
the event that the Scheme was wound up. If this were to happen, the Trustee would be able to pursue the Group for additional contributions 
under the UK Employer Debt Regulations. The Group intends to continue the Scheme on an on-going basis. 

NATIONAL  BANK STAff SUPERANNUATION  fUND

A full actuarial valuation of the National Bank Staff Superannuation Fund, conducted by consulting actuaries AON Consulting NZ, as at 
31 March 2012 showed a deficit of NZD 34 million ($30 million at 30 September 2013 exchange rates). The actuary recommended that the Group 
make contributions of 24.8% of salaries plus a lump sum contribution of NZD 5 million p.a. (net of employer superannuation contribution tax) in 
respect of members of the defined benefit section. 

The following economic assumptions were used in formulating the actuary’s funding recommendations:

Rate of investment return (net of income tax)
Salary increases
Pension increases

5.0% p.a.
3.0% p.a.
2.5% p.a.

The Group has no present liability under the Fund’s Trust Deed to fund the deficit measured under AAS 25. A contingent liability may arise in the 
event that the Fund was wound up. Under the Fund’s Trust Deed, if the Fund were wound up, the Group is required to pay the Trustees of the Fund 
an amount sufficient to ensure members do not suffer a reduction in benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled. The Group intends to 
continue the Fund on an on-going basis. 

The basis of calculation under AASB119 is detailed in note 1 F(vii).

To determine the expected returns of each of the asset classes held by the relevant scheme, the actuaries assessed historical return trends and 
market expectations for the asset class returns applicable for the period over which the obligation is to be settled. The overall expected rate of 
return on assets for each scheme was then determined as the weighted average of the expected returns for the classes of assets held by the 
relevant scheme. 

Assumed medical cost trend rates do not have a material effect on the amounts recognised as income or included in the balance sheet.

Notes to the fiNaNcial statemeNts (continued)45: Employee Share and Option Plans

ANZ operates a number of employee share and option schemes under the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ Share Option Plan.

ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE ACqUISITION PLAN
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan (ESAP) schemes that existed during the 2012 and 2013 years were the Employee Share Offer, the Deferred 
Share Plan and the Employee Share Save Scheme (ESSS). Note the ESSS is an employee salary sacrifice plan and is not captured as a share based 
payment expense.

Employee Share Offer
Each permanent employee (excluding senior executives) who has had continuous service for one year is eligible to participate in the Employee 
Share Offer enabling the grant of up to $1,000 of ANZ shares in each financial year, subject to approval of the Board. At a date approved by the 
Board, the shares will be granted to all eligible employees using the one week weighted average price of ANZ shares traded on the ASX in the 
week leading up to and including the date of grant.

In Australia and three overseas locations (Cook Islands, Kiribati and Solomon Islands), ANZ ordinary shares are granted to eligible employees 
for nil consideration and vest immediately when granted, as there is no forfeiture provision. It is a requirement, however, that shares are held in 
trust for three years from the date of grant, after which time they may remain in trust, be transferred to the employee’s name or sold. Dividends 
received on the shares are automatically reinvested into the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

In New Zealand shares are granted to eligible employees upon payment of NZD one cent per share.

Shares granted in New Zealand and the remaining overseas locations under this plan vest subject to the satisfaction of a three year service period, 
after which time they may, remain in trust, be transferred into the employee’s name or sold. Unvested shares are forfeited in the event of resignation 
or dismissal for serious misconduct. Dividends are either received as cash or reinvested into the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

During the 2013 year, 1,450,558 shares with an issue price of $24.44 were granted under the plan to employees on 6 December 2012 (2012 year: 
1,822,760 shares with an issue price of $20.21 were granted on 5 December 2011).

Deferred Share Plan
A Short Term Incentive (STI) mandatory deferral program was implemented from 2009, with equity deferral relating to half of all STI amounts 
above a specified threshold. Prior to 2011, STI deferred equity could be taken as 100% shares or 50% shares and 50% options. From 2011, all STI 
deferred equity is taken as 100% shares. 

Selected employees may also be granted Long Term Incentive (LTI) deferred shares which vest to the employee three years from the date of 
grant. Ordinary shares granted under this LTI plan may be held in trust beyond the deferral period. 

In exceptional circumstances, deferred shares are granted to certain employees upon commencement with ANZ to compensate for 
remuneration forgone from their previous employer. The vesting period generally aligns with the remaining vesting period of remuneration 
forgone, and therefore varies between grants. Retention deferred shares may also be granted occasionally to high performing employees who 
are regarded as a significant retention risk to ANZ. 

Unless the Board decides otherwise, unvested STI, LTI or other deferred shares are forfeited on resignation, termination on notice or dismissal for 
serious misconduct.

The employee receives dividends on deferred shares while those shares are held in trust (cash or Dividend Reinvestment Plan).

Deferred share rights may be granted instead of deferred shares in some countries to accommodate offshore taxation regulations (refer to 
Deferred Share Rights section).

The issue price for deferred shares is based on the volume weighted average price of the shares traded on the ASX in the week leading up to and 
including the date of grant.

During the 2013 year, 6,233,626 deferred shares with a weighted average grant price of $25.00 were granted under the deferred share plan 
(2012 year: 7,001,566 shares with a weighted average grant price of $21.19 were granted).

In accordance with the clawback provisions detailed in Section 6.3, Other Remuneration Elements of the 2013 Remuneration Report, Board 
discretion was exercised during 2013 resulting in 5,691 shares granted in 2013 being clawed back under the deferred share plan.

Share valuations
The fair value of shares granted in the 2013 year under the Employee Share Offer and the Deferred Share Plan, measured as at the date of grant 
of the shares, is $190.6 million based on 7,684,184 shares at a volume weighted average price of $24.81 (2012 year: fair value of shares granted 
was $185.4 million based on 8,824,326 shares at a weighted average price of $21.01). The volume weighted average share price of all ANZ shares 
sold on the ASX on the date of grant is used to calculate the fair value of shares. No dividends are incorporated into the measurement of the fair 
value of shares.

ANZ SHARE OPTION PLAN
Selected employees may be granted options/rights, which entitle them to acquire ordinary fully paid shares in ANZ at a price fixed at the time 
the options/rights are granted. Voting and dividend rights will be attached to the ordinary shares allocated on exercise of the options/rights.

Each option/right entitles the holder to one ordinary share subject to the terms and conditions imposed on grant. The exercise price of the 
options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan, is generally based on the weighted average price of the shares traded on the ASX 
in the week leading up to and including the date of grant. For rights, the exercise price is nil.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

  173

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 201345: Employee Share and Option Plans (continued)

The option plan rules set out the entitlements a holder of options/rights has prior to exercise in the event of a bonus issue, pro-rata new issue or 
reorganisation of ANZ’s share capital. In summary: 
 } if ANZ has issued bonus shares during the life of an option and prior to the exercise of the option, then when the option is exercised the 

option holder is also entitled to be issued such number of bonus shares as the holder would have been entitled to if the option holder had 
held the underlying shares at the time of the bonus issue;

 } if ANZ makes a pro-rata offer of securities during the life of an option and prior to the exercise of the option, the exercise price of the option 

will be adjusted in the manner set out in the ASX Listing Rules; and

 } in respect of rights, if there is a bonus issue or reorganisation of ANZ’s share capital, the number of rights or the number of underlying shares 

may be adjusted so that there is no advantage or disadvantage to the holder.

Holders otherwise have no other entitlements to participate in any new issue of ANZ securities prior to exercise of their options/rights. Holders 
also have no right to participate in a share issue of a body corporate other than ANZ (e.g. a subsidiary).

ANZ Share Option Plan schemes expensed in the 2012 and 2013 years are as follows:

Current Option Plans
Performance Rights Plan (excluding CEO Performance Rights)
Performance rights are granted to selected employees as part of ANZ’s LTI program. Performance rights provide the right to acquire ANZ 
shares at nil cost, subject to a three year vesting period and a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle. Further details in relation to 
performance rights are detailed in Section 6.2.2, Long Term Incentives (LTI) in the 2013 Remuneration Report.

For equity grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than 
shares at the Board’s discretion.

The provisions that apply in the case of cessation of employment are detailed in Section 8.3, Disclosed Executives in the 2013 Remuneration Report.

During the 2013 year, 641,728 performance rights (excluding CEO performance rights) were granted (2012: 586,925).

CEO Performance Rights
At the 2012 Annual General Meeting shareholders approved an LTI grant to the CEO equivalent to 100% of his 2012 fixed pay, being 
$3.15 million. This equated to a total of 328,810 performance rights being allocated, which will be subject to testing against a TSR hurdle after 
three years, i.e. December 2015.

For equity grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than 
shares at the Board’s discretion.

At the 2010 and 2011 Annual General Meetings shareholders approved LTI grants to the CEO equivalent to 100% of his fixed pay, being 
$3.15 million. This equated to a total of 253,164 (2010) and 326,424 (2011) performance rights being allocated, which will be subject to testing 
against a TSR hurdle after three years, i.e. December 2013 and 2014 respectively.

At the 2007 Annual General Meeting shareholders approved an LTI grant consisting of three tranches of performance rights, each to a maximum 
value of $3 million. The performance periods for each tranche began on the date of grant of 19 December 2007 and ended on the third, 
fourth and fifth anniversaries respectively (i.e. only one performance measurement for each tranche). The first of these tranches was tested in 
December 2010 and 258,620 performance rights vested and were exercised in 2011. The second tranche was tested in December 2011 and 
259,740 performance rights vested and were exercised in 2012. The third tranche was tested in December 2012 and 260,642 performance rights 
vested and were exercised in 2013.

The provisions that apply in the case of cessation of employment are detailed in Section 8.2, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the 2013 
Remuneration Report.

Deferred Share Rights (no performance hurdles)
Deferred share rights provide the right to acquire ANZ shares at nil cost after a specified vesting period. The fair value of rights is adjusted for 
the absence of dividends during the restriction period. Treatment of rights in respect of cessation relates to the purpose of the grant (refer to 
Deferred Share Plan section above).

For deferred share rights grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may be satisfied by a cash equivalent 
payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion.

During the 2013 year 1,133,780 deferred share rights (no performance hurdles) were granted (2012: 1,013,185).

Legacy Option Plans
The following legacy option plans are no longer being offered, but were expensed in the 2012 and 2013 years.

CEO Options
At the 2008 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a special grant to the CEO of 700,000 options, granted on 18 December 2008. 
At grant the options were independently valued with a fair value of $2.27 each (total value of $1.589 million) and an option exercise price of 
$14.18 per share. Upon exercise, each option entitled the CEO to one ordinary ANZ share. The options vested on 18 December 2011 and were 
exercised during 2012.

Deferred Options (no performance hurdles)
Under the STI deferral program half of all amounts above a specified threshold are provided as deferred equity. Previously deferred equity could 
be taken as 100% shares or 50% shares and 50% options. From 2011, all deferred equity is taken as 100% shares (refer to Deferred Share Plan 
section above).

Options, deferred share rights and performance rights on issue
As at 8 November 2013, there were 15 holders of 192,424 options on issue, 1,836 holders of 2,142,901 deferred share rights on issue and 
13 holders of 2,485,640 performance rights on issue.

In determining the fair value below, the standard market techniques for valuation, including Monte Carlo and/or Black Scholes pricing models, 
were applied in accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based payments. The models take into account early exercise of vested 
equity, non-transferability and market based performance hurdles (if any). The significant assumptions used to measure the fair value of 
instruments granted during 2013 are contained in the table below:

1  Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fluctuate over the life of the options/rights. The measure of volatility used in the model is the 
annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the historical share price over a defined period of time preceding the date of grant. This historical average 
annualised volatility is then used to estimate a reasonable expected volatility over the expected life of the options/rights.

48: Life Insurance Business

The Group conducts its life insurance business through OnePath Life Limited, OnePath Life (NZ) Limited and OnePath Insurance Services (NZ) 
Limited. This note is intended to provide disclosures in relation to the life businesses conducted through these controlled entities.

CAPITAL ADEqUACY Of  LIfE INSURER

Australian life insurers are required to hold reserves in excess of policy liabilities to support capital requirements under the Life Act (LIA). 

The life insurance business in New Zealand is not governed by the Life Act as these are foreign domiciled life insurance companies. 
These companies are however required to meet similar capital tests.

The summarised capital information below in respect of capital requirements under the Life Act has been extracted from the financial 
statements prepared by OnePath Life Limited. For detailed capital adequacy information on a statutory fund basis, users of this annual financial 
report should refer to the separate financial statements prepared by OnePath Life Limited.

Critical assumptions
The valuation of the policy liabilities is dependant on a number 
of variables including interest rate, equity prices, future expenses, 
mortality, morbidity and inflation. The critical estimates and 
judgements used in determining the policy liabilities is set out in 
note 2 (vi) on page 90.

Sensitivity analysis – life insurance contracts
The Group conducts sensitivity analysis to quantify the exposure of 
the life insurance contracts to risk of changes in the key underlying 
variables such as interest rate, equity prices, mortality, morbidity 
and inflation. The valuations included in the reported results and 
the Group’s best estimate of future performance is calculated using 
certain assumptions about these variables. The movement in any key 
variable will impact the performance and net assets of the Group and 
as such represents a risk. The table below illustrates how changes in 
key assumptions would impact the reported profit, policy liabilities 
and equity at 30 September 2013.

1  Liabilities ceded under insurance contracts are shown as ‘other assets’.

c) Sensitivity analysis – Life investment contract liabilities
Market risk arises on the Group’s life insurance business in respect 
of life investment contracts where an element of the liability to the 
policyholder is guaranteed by the Group. The value of the guarantee 
is impacted by changes in underlying asset values and interest rates. 
As at September 2013, a 10% decline in equity markets would have 
decreased profit by $7 million (2012: $20 million) and a 10% increase 
would have increased profit by $nil (2012: $3 million). A 1% increase 
in interest rates at 30 September would have decreased profit by 
$1 million (2012: $14 million) and 1% decrease would have increased 
profit by $nil (2012: $3 million).

METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS LIfE INSURANCE CONTRACTS

Significant actuarial methods 
The effective date of the actuarial report on policy liabilities (which 
includes insurance contract liabilities and life investment contract 
liabilities) and solvency requirements is 30 September 2013. 

In Australia, the actuarial report was prepared by Mr Nick Kulikov, 
FIAA, Appointed Actuary. The actuarial reports indicate Mr Kulikov is 
satisfied as to the accuracy of the data upon which policy liabilities 
have been determined. 

The amount of policy liabilities has been determined in accordance 
with methods and assumptions disclosed in this financial report and 
the requirements of the LIA, which includes applicable standards of 
the APRA. 

Policy liabilities have been calculated in accordance with Prudential 
Standard LPS 1.04 Valuation of Policy Liabilities issued by the APRA 
in accordance with the requirements of the LIA. For life insurance 
contracts the Standard requires the policy liabilities to be calculated 
in a way which allows for the systematic release of planned margins 
as services are provided to policyholders.

The profit carriers used to achieve the systematic release of planned 
margins are based on the product groups.

In New Zealand, the actuarial report was prepared by Mr Michael 
Bartram FIAA FNZSA, a fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia 
and a fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries. The amount of 
policy liabilities has been determined in accordance with Professional 
Standard 3: Determination of Life Insurance Policy Liabilities of the 
New Zealand Society of Actuaries. The actuarial reports indicate that 
Mr Bartram is satisfied as to the accuracy of the data upon which 
policy liabilities have been determined.

variable 

Impact of movement in underlying variable

Market interest rates  A change in market interest rates affects the value placed on 
future cash flows. This changes profit and shareholder equity.

Expense risk 

Mortality risk 

Morbidity risk 

Discontinuance risk

An increase in the level or inflationary growth of expenses over 
assumed levels will decrease profit and shareholder equity.

Greater mortality rates would lead to higher levels of claims 
occurring, increasing associated claims cost and therefore 
reducing profit and shareholder equity.

The cost of health-related claims depends on both the 
incidence of policyholders becoming ill and the duration 
which they remain ill. Higher than expected incidence and 
duration would increase claim costs, reducing profit and 
shareholder equity.

An increase in discontinuance rates at earlier durations has a 
negative effect as it affects the ability to recover acquisition 
expenses and commissions.

LIfE INSURANCE RISK

Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to unexpected changes in current 
and future insurance claim rates. In life insurance business, insurance 
risk arises primarily through mortality (death) and morbidity (illness) 
and injury and longevity risks.

Insurance risk exposure arises in insurance business as the risk that 
claims payments are greater than expected. In the life insurance 
business this arises primarily through mortality (death) or morbidity 
(illness or injury) risks being greater than expected. 

Insurance risks are controlled through the use of underwriting 
procedures and reinsurance arrangements. Controls are also 
maintained over claims management practices to assist in the correct 
and timely payment of insurance claims. Regular monitoring of 
experience is conducted at a sufficiently detailed level in order to 
identify any deviation from expected claim levels.

Financial risks relating to the Group’s insurance business are generally 
monitored and controlled by selecting appropriate assets to back 
insurance and life investment contract liabilities. Wherever possible 
within regulatory constraints, the Group segregates policyholders 
funds from shareholders funds and sets investment mandates that 
are appropriate for each. The assets are regularly monitored by the 
Global Wealth Investment Risk Management Committee to ensure 
that there are no material asset and liability mismatching issues and 
other risks such as liquidity risk and credit risk are maintained within 
acceptable limits. 

All financial assets within the life insurance statutory funds directly 
support either the Group’s life insurance contracts or life investment 
contracts. Market risk arises for the Group on contracts where the 
liabilities to policyholders are guaranteed. The Group manages 
this risk by the monthly monitoring and rebalancing of assets 
to policy liabilities. However, for some contracts the ability to 
match asset characteristics with policy obligations is constrained 
by a number of factors including regulatory constraints, the lack 
of suitable investments as well as by the nature of the policy 
liabilities themselves. 

A market risk also arises from those life investment contracts 
where the benefits paid are directly impacted by the value of 
the underlying assets. The Group is exposed to the risk of future 
decreased asset management fees as a result of a decline in assets 

under management and operational risk associated with the possible 
failure to administer life investment contracts in accordance with the 
product terms and conditions.

Risk strategy
In compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements, a 
strategy is in place to monitor that the risks underwritten satisfy 
policyholders’ risk and reward objectives whilst not adversely 
affecting the Group’s ability to pay benefits and claims when due. 
The strategy involves the identification of risks by type, impact and 
likelihood, the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate 
the risks, and continuous monitoring and improvement of the 
procedures in place to minimise the chance of an adverse compliance 
or operational risk event occurring. Included in this strategy are the 
processes and controls over underwriting, claims management and 
product pricing. Capital management is also a key aspect of the 
Group’s risk management strategy.

Allocation of capital
The Group’s insurance businesses are subject to regulatory capital 
requirements which prescribe the amount of capital to be held 
depending on the contract liability. 

Solvency margin requirements established by APRA are in place 
to reinforce safeguards for policyholders’ interest, which are 
primarily the ability to meet future claims payments in respect of 
existing policies.

Methods to limit or transfer insurance risk exposures
Reinsurance – Reinsurance treaties are analysed using a number 
of analytical modelling tools to assess the impact on the Group’s 
exposure to risk with the objective of achieving the desired choice of 
type of reinsurance and retention levels. 

Underwriting procedures – Strategic underwriting decisions are put 
into effect using the underwriting procedures detailed in the Group’s 
underwriting manual. Such procedures include limits to delegated 
authorities and signing powers. 

Claims management – Strict claims management procedures are 
in place to assist in the timely and correct payment of claims in 
accordance with policy conditions.

view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well 
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material 
respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, 
a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding 
of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position and of 
their performance. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

1   Since 1 October 2012, the Group has used Cash Profit as a measure of the result of the ongoing business activities of the Group enabling shareholders to assess Group and divisional performance 

against prior periods and against peer institutions. For 2013 and 2012 statutory profit has been adjusted for non-core items to arrive at Cash Profit. For 2009 – 2011 statutory profit has been 
adjusted for non-core items to arrive at Underlying Profit, which like Cash Profit, is a measure of the ongoing business performance of the Group but used somewhat different criteria for the 
adjusting items. Neither Cash Profit nor Underlying Profit are audited; however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determined on a consistent 
basis across each period presented.

PRINCIPAL RISkS AND UNCERTAINTIES

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

1. Introduction

The Group’s activities are subject to risks that can adversely 
impact its business, operations and financial condition. The risks 
and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that the 
Group may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Group 
is unaware of, or that the Group currently deems to be immaterial, 
may also become important factors that affect it. If any of the listed 
or unlisted risks actually occur, the Group’s business, operations, 
financial condition, or reputation could be materially and adversely 
affected, with the result that the trading price of the Group’s equity 
or debt securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part 
of their investment.

2.  Changes in general business and economic 
conditions, including disruption in regional 
or global credit and capital markets, may 
adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition

The Group’s financial performance is primarily influenced by the 
economic conditions and the level of business activity in the major 
countries and regions in which it operates or trades, i.e. Australia, 
New Zealand, the Asia Pacific region, Europe and the United States 
of America. The Group’s business, operations, and financial condition 
can be negatively affected by changes to these economic and 
business conditions. 

The economic and business conditions that prevail in the Group’s 
major operating and trading markets are affected by domestic and 
international economic events, political events and natural disasters, 
and by movements and events that occur in global financial markets. 

The global financial crisis saw a sudden and prolonged dislocation 
in credit and equity capital markets, a contraction in global economic 
activity and the creation of many challenges for financial services 
institutions worldwide to some extent in many regions. Sovereign 
risk and its potential impact on financial institutions in Europe and 
globally subsequently emerged as a significant risk to the growth 
prospects of the various regional economies and the global economy. 
The impact of the global financial crisis and its aftermath (such as 
heightened sovereign risk) continue to affect regional and global 
economic activity, confidence and capital markets. Prudential 
authorities have implemented increased regulation to mitigate the 
risk of such events recurring, although there can be no assurance that 
such regulations will be effective.

The economic effects of the global financial crisis and the European 
sovereign debt crisis have been widespread and far-reaching 
with unfavourable ongoing impacts on retail spending, personal 
and business credit growth, housing credit, and business and 
consumer confidence. While some of these economic factors have 
since improved, lasting impacts from the global financial crisis and 
subsequent volatility in financial markets and the European sovereign 
debt crisis suggest ongoing vulnerability and potential adjustment of 
consumer and business behaviour. 

A sovereign debt crisis could have serious implications for 
the European Union and the Euro which, depending on the 
circumstances in which it takes place and the countries and 
currencies affected, could adversely impact the Group’s business 
operations and financial condition. Likewise, if one or more European 
countries re-introduce national currencies, and the Euro de-stabilises, 
the Group’s business operations could be disrupted by currency 
fluctuations and difficulties in hedging against such fluctuations. 
The New Zealand economy is also vulnerable to more volatile 
markets and deteriorating funding conditions. Economic conditions 
in Australia, New Zealand, and some Asia Pacific countries remain 
difficult for many businesses.

Should the difficult economic conditions described above persist or 
worsen, asset values in the housing, commercial or rural property 
markets could decline, unemployment could rise and corporate and 
personal incomes could suffer. Also, deterioration in global markets, 
including equity, property, currency and other asset markets, could 
impact the Group’s customers and the security the Group holds 
against loans and other credit exposures, which may impact its ability 
to recover some loans and other credit exposures. 

All or any of the negative economic and business impacts described 
above could cause a reduction in demand for the Group’s products 
and services and/or an increase in loan and other credit defaults 
and bad debts, which could adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations, and financial condition. 

The Group’s financial performance could also be adversely affected if 
it were unable to adapt cost structures, products, pricing or activities 
in response to a drop in demand or lower than expected revenues. 
Similarly, higher than expected costs (including credit and funding 
costs) could be incurred because of adverse changes in the economy, 
general business conditions or the operating environment in the 
countries in which it operates. 

Other economic and financial factors or events which may adversely 
affect the Group’s performance and results, include, but are not 
limited to, the level of and volatility in foreign exchange rates and 
interest rates, changes in inflation and money supply, fluctuations in 
both debt and equity capital markets, declining commodity prices 
due to, for example, reduced demand in Asia, especially North 
Asia/China, and decreasing consumer and business confidence. 

Geopolitical instability, such as threats of, potential for, or actual 
conflict, occurring around the world, such as the ongoing unrest and 
conflicts in North Korea, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan and elsewhere, may 
also adversely affect global financial markets, general economic and 
business conditions and the Group’s ability to continue operating or 
trading in a country, which in turn may adversely affect the Group’s 
business, operations, and financial condition. 

Natural disasters such as (but not restricted to) cyclones, floods and 
earthquakes, and the economic and financial market implications 
of such disasters on domestic and global conditions can adversely 
impact the Group’s ability to continue operating or trading in the 
country or countries directly or indirectly affected, which in turn 
may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations and financial 
condition. For more specific risks in relation to earthquakes and the 
Christchurch earthquakes, refer to the risk factor entitled “The Group 
may be exposed to the impact of future climate change, geological 
events, plant and animal diseases, and other extrinsic events which 
may adversely affect its business, operations and financial condition”. 

PRINCIPAL RISkS  AND UNCERTAINTIES  

  191

PRINCIPAL RISkS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

for deposits and mortgages customers, empowerment of the ACCC 
to investigate and prosecute anti-competitive price signalling, 
changes in the way fees and interest are charged on credit cards and 
reforms which allow Australian banks, credit unions and building 
societies to issue covered bonds. While many of these reforms have 
been implemented since 2011, and have the potential to change 
the competitive position of all banks in Australia, the Group has 
adapted to these reforms and has maintained its competitive 
position. Nevertheless any regulatory or behavioural change that 
occurs in response to these reforms could have the effect of limiting 
or reducing the Group’s revenue earned from its banking products 
or operations. These regulatory changes could also result in higher 
operating costs. A reduction or limitation in revenue or an increase 
in operating costs could adversely affect the Group’s profitability. 

The effect of competitive market conditions, especially in the Group’s 
main markets and products, may lead to erosion in the Group’s 
market share or margins, and adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations, and financial condition.

5.  Changes in monetary policies may adversely 
affect the Group’s business, operations and 
financial condition

Central monetary authorities (including the Reserve Bank of 
Australia (RBA) and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), the 
United States Federal Reserve and the monetary authorities in the 
Asian jurisdictions in which ANZ carries out business) set official 
interest rates or take other measures to affect the demand for 
money and credit in their relevant jurisdictions. Also, in some Asian 
jurisdictions currency policy is used to influence general business 
conditions and the demand for money and credit. These policies 
can significantly affect the Group’s cost of funds for lending and 
investing and the return that the Group will earn on those loans 
and investments. Both these factors impact the Group’s net interest 
margin and can affect the value of financial instruments it holds, 
such as debt securities and hedging instruments. The policies of the 
central monetary authorities can also affect the Group’s borrowers, 
potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay loans. 
Changes in such policies are difficult to predict. 

6.  Sovereign risk may destabilise global financial 
markets adversely affecting all participants, 
including the Group

Sovereign risk, or the risk that foreign governments will default on 
their debt obligations, increase borrowings as and when required 
or be unable to refinance their debts as they fall due or nationalise 
participants in their economy, has emerged as a risk to many 
economies. This risk is particularly relevant to a number of European 
countries though it is not limited to these places and includes 
the United States. Should one sovereign default, there could be a 
cascading effect to other markets and countries, the consequences of 
which, while difficult to predict, may be similar to or worse than those 
currently being experienced or which were experienced during the 
global financial crisis. Such an event could destabilise global financial 
markets adversely affecting all participants, including the Group.

3.  Changes in exchange rates may adversely 

affect the Group’s business, operations and 
financial condition

The previous appreciation in and continuing high level of the value 
of the Australian and New Zealand dollars relative to other currencies 
has adversely affected, and could continue to have an adverse effect 
on, certain portions of the Australian and New Zealand economies, 
including some agricultural exports, tourism, manufacturing, retailing 
subject to internet competition, and import-competing producers. 
The relationship between exchange rates and commodity prices 
is volatile. Since April 2013, the Australian dollar has depreciated 
against the US dollar and New Zealand dollar. A depreciation in the 
Australian or New Zealand dollars relative to other currencies would 
increase the debt service obligations in Australia or New Zealand 
dollar terms of unhedged exposures. Appreciation of the Australian 
dollar against the New Zealand dollar, United States dollar and 
other currencies has a potential negative earnings translation 
effect on non-hedged exposures, and future appreciation could 
have a greater negative impact on the Group’s results from its 
other non-Australian businesses, particularly its New Zealand and 
Asian businesses, which are largely based on non-Australian dollar 
revenues. The Group has put in place hedges to partially mitigate the 
impact of currency changes, but notwithstanding this there can be 
no assurance that the Group’s hedges will be sufficient or effective, 
and any further appreciation could have an adverse impact upon the 
Group’s earnings. 

4.  Competition may adversely affect the Group’s 
business, operations and financial condition, 
especially in Australia, New Zealand and the 
Asian markets in which it operates

The markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive 
and could become even more so, particularly in those countries that 
are considered to provide higher growth prospects (such as those 
in the Asian region) and segments that are in the greatest demand 
(for example, customer deposits in Australia and New Zealand). 
Factors that contribute to competition risk include industry 
regulation, mergers and acquisitions, changes in customers’ needs 
and preferences, entry of new participants, development of new 
distribution and service methods, increased diversification of 
products by competitors, and regulatory changes in the rules 
governing the operations of banks and non-bank competitors. 
For example, changes in the financial services sector in Australia and 
New Zealand have made it possible for non-banks to offer products 
and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic 
payments systems, mortgages, and credit cards. In addition, it is 
possible that existing companies from outside of the traditional 
financial services sector may seek to obtain banking licences to 
directly compete with the Group by offering products and services 
provided by banks. In addition, banks organised in jurisdictions 
outside Australia and New Zealand are subject to different levels of 
regulation and consequently some may have lower cost structures. 
Increasing competition for customers could also potentially lead 
to a compression in the Group’s net interest margins, or increased 
advertising and related expenses to attract and retain customers. 

Additionally, the Australian Government announced in late 2010 a 
set of measures with the stated purpose of promoting a competitive 
and sustainable banking system in Australia. The reforms consisted 
of a variety of actions, including but not limited to, a ban on exit fees 
for new home loans, implementation of easier switching processes 

192

7.  The Group is exposed to liquidity and funding 
risk, which may adversely affect its business, 
operations and financial condition

9.  The Group may experience challenges in 

managing its capital base, which could give 
rise to greater volatility in capital ratios

The Group’s capital base is critical to the management of its 
businesses and access to funding. The Group is required by regulators 
including, but not limited to, APRA, RBNZ, the United Kingdom 
Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority, 
United States regulators and regulators in various Asia Pacific 
jurisdictions (such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the 
Monetary Authority of Singapore) where the Group has operations, to 
maintain adequate regulatory capital. 

Under current regulatory requirements, risk-weighted assets and 
expected loan losses increase as a counterparty’s risk grade worsens. 
These additional regulatory capital requirements compound any 
reduction in capital resulting from lower profits in times of stress. As a 
result, greater volatility in capital ratios may arise and may require the 
Group to raise additional capital. There can be no certainty that any 
additional capital required would be available or could be raised on 
reasonable terms. 

The Group’s capital ratios may be affected by a number of factors, 
such as lower earnings (including lower dividends from its 
deconsolidated subsidiaries including its insurance and funds 
management businesses and associates), increased asset growth, 
changes in the value of the Australian dollar against other currencies 
in which the Group operates (particularly the New Zealand dollar 
and United States dollar) that impacts risk weighted assets or the 
foreign currency translation reserve and changes in business strategy 
(including acquisitions and investments or an increase in capital 
intensive businesses). 

APRA’s new Prudential Standards implementing Basel 3 are now 
in effect, and other regulators in jurisdictions where ANZ operates 
have either implemented or are in the process of implementing 
regulations, including Basel 3, which seek to strengthen, among 
other things, the liquidity and capital requirements of banks, funds 
management entities, and insurance entities, though there can be 
no assurance that these regulations will have their intended effect. 
These regulations, together with any risks arising from any regulatory 
changes, are described below in the risk factor entitled “Regulatory 
changes or a failure to comply with regulatory standards, law or 
policies may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations or 
financial condition”. 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment 
obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or maturing 
wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund 
increases in assets. Liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations 
due to the timing mismatch between cash inflows and cash outflows. 

Reduced liquidity could lead to an increase in the cost of the Group’s 
borrowings and possibly constrain the volume of new lending, 
which could adversely affect the Group’s profitability. A significant 
deterioration in investor confidence in the Group could materially 
impact the Group’s cost of borrowing, and the Group’s ongoing 
operations and funding. 

The Group raises funding from a variety of sources including 
customer deposits and wholesale funding in Australia and offshore 
markets to meet its funding obligations and to maintain or grow its 
business generally. In times of systemic liquidity stress, in the event 
of damage to market confidence in the Group or in the event that 
funding inside or outside of Australia is not available or constrained, 
the Group’s ability to access sources of funding and liquidity may be 
constrained and it will be exposed to liquidity risk. In any such cases, 
ANZ may be forced to seek alternative funding. The availability of 
such alternative funding, and the terms on which it may be available, 
will depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market 
conditions and ANZ’s credit ratings. Even if available, the cost of these 
alternatives may be more expensive or on unfavourable terms.

Since the advent of the global financial crisis, developments in 
the United States mortgage industry and in the United States and 
European markets more generally, including recent European and 
United States sovereign debt concerns, have adversely affected the 
liquidity in global capital markets and increased funding costs. Future 
deterioration in market conditions may limit the Group’s ability to 
replace maturing liabilities and access funding in a timely and cost-
effective manner necessary to fund and grow its business.

8.  The Group is exposed to the risk that its 
credit ratings could change, which could 
adversely affect its ability to raise capital and 
wholesale funding

ANZ’s credit ratings have a significant impact on both its access to, 
and cost of, capital and wholesale funding. Credit ratings are not a 
recommendation by the relevant rating agency to invest in securities 
offered by ANZ. Credit ratings may be withdrawn, subject to 
qualifiers, revised or suspended by the relevant credit rating agency 
at any time and the methodologies by which they are determined 
may be revised. A downgrade or potential downgrade to ANZ’s credit 
rating may reduce access to capital and wholesale debt markets, 
potentially leading to an increase in funding costs, as well as affecting 
the willingness of counterparties to transact with it.

In addition, the ratings of individual securities (including, but not 
limited to, certain Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital securities and 
covered bonds) issued by ANZ (and banks globally) could be impacted 
from time to time by changes in the ratings methodologies used by 
rating agencies. On 5 September 2013, Moody’s Investors Service 
downgraded the subordinated debt ratings of eight Australian banks 
including ANZ. Ratings agencies may also revise their methodologies in 
response to legal or regulatory changes or other market developments.

PRINCIPAL RISkS  AND UNCERTAINTIES  

  193

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013PRINCIPAL RISkS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

For example, the Group is directly and indirectly exposed to the 
Australian mining sector and mining-related contractors and 
industries. Should commodity prices materially decrease due to, 
for example, reduced demand in Asia, especially North Asia/China, 
and/or mining activity, demand for resources, or corporate 
investment in the mining sector suffer material decreases from 
historical levels, the amount of new lending the Group is able to write 
may be adversely affected, and the weakening of the sector could be 
of sufficient magnitude to lead to an increase in lending losses from 
this sector.

Credit losses can and have resulted in financial services organisations 
realising significant losses and in some cases failing altogether. 
Should material unexpected credit losses occur to the Group’s credit 
exposures, it could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition.

12.  Weakening of the real estate markets in 
Australia, New Zealand or other markets 
where it does business may adversely 
affect the Group’s business, operations and 
financial condition

Residential, commercial and rural property lending, together with 
property finance, including real estate development and investment 
property finance, constitute important businesses to the Group. 

A decrease in property valuations in Australia, New Zealand or other 
markets where it does business could decrease the amount of new 
lending the Group is able to write and/or increase the losses that 
the Group may experience from existing loans, which, in either case, 
could materially and adversely impact the Group’s financial condition 
and results of operations. A significant slowdown in the Australian 
and New Zealand housing markets or in other markets where it does 
business could adversely affect the Group’s business, operations and 
financial conditions.

13.  The Group is exposed to market risk which 

may adversely affect its business, operations 
and financial condition

The Group is subject to market risk, which is the risk to the Group’s 
earnings arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange 
rates, credit spreads, equity prices and indices, prices of commodities, 
debt securities and other financial contracts, including derivatives. 
Losses arising from these risks may have a material adverse effect 
on the Group. As the Group conducts business in several different 
currencies, its businesses may be affected by a change in currency 
exchange rates. Additionally, the Group’s annual and interim reports 
are prepared and stated in Australian dollars, any appreciation in the 
Australian dollar against other currencies in which the Group earns 
revenues (particularly to the New Zealand dollar and United States 
dollar) may adversely affect the reported earnings. 

The profitability of the Group’s funds management and insurance 
businesses is also affected by changes in investment markets and 
weaknesses in global securities markets.

10.  The Group is exposed to credit risk, which 

may adversely affect its business, operations 
and financial condition

As a financial institution, the Group is exposed to the risks associated 
with extending credit to other parties. Less favourable business or 
economic conditions, whether generally or in a specific industry 
sector or geographic region, or natural disasters, could cause 
customers or counterparties to fail to meet their obligations in 
accordance with agreed terms. For example, our customers and 
counterparties in the natural resources sector could be adversely 
impacted in the event of a prolonged slowdown in the Chinese 
economy. Also, our customers and counterparties in the agriculture, 
tourism and manufacturing industries have been and may continue 
to be adversely impacted by the sustained strength of the Australian 
and New Zealand dollar relative to other currencies. The Group holds 
provisions for credit impairment. The amount of these provisions 
is determined by assessing the extent of impairment inherent 
within the current lending portfolio, based on current information. 
This process, which is critical to the Group’s financial condition 
and results, requires difficult, subjective and complex judgments, 
including forecasts of how current and future economic conditions 
might impair the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. However, 
if the information upon which the assessment is made proves to be 
inaccurate or if the Group fails to analyse the information correctly, 
the provisions made for credit impairment may be insufficient, 
which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition. 

In addition, in assessing whether to extend credit or enter into 
other transactions with customers, the Group relies on information 
provided by or on behalf of customers, including financial statements 
and other financial information. The Group may also rely on 
representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of 
that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports 
of independent auditors. The Group’s financial performance could be 
negatively impacted to the extent that it relies on information that is 
inaccurate or materially misleading.

11.  An increase in the failure of third parties to 
honour their commitments in connection 
with the Group’s trading, lending, derivatives 
and other activities may adversely affect its 
business, operations and financial condition

The Group is exposed to the potential risk of credit-related losses 
that can occur as a result of a counterparty being unable or unwilling 
to honour its contractual obligations. As with any financial services 
organisation, the Group assumes counterparty risk in connection 
with its lending, trading, derivatives and other businesses where it 
relies on the ability of a third party to satisfy its financial obligations 
to the Group on a timely basis. The Group is also subject to the 
risk that its rights against third parties may not be enforceable in 
certain circumstances. 

The risk of credit-related losses may also be increased by a number 
of factors, including deterioration in the financial condition of the 
economy, a sustained high level of unemployment, a deterioration 
of the financial condition of the Group’s counterparties, a reduction 
in the value of assets the Group holds as collateral, and a reduction 
in the market value of the counterparty instruments and obligations 
it holds.

14.  The Group is exposed to the risks associated 
with credit intermediation and financial 
guarantors which may adversely affect its 
business, operations and financial condition

The Group entered into a series of structured credit intermediation 
trades from 2004 to 2007. The Group sold protection using credit 
default swaps over these structures and then, to mitigate risk, 
purchased protection via credit default swaps over the same structures 
from eight United States financial guarantors. The underlying structures 
involve credit default swaps (CDSs) over synthetic collateralised debt 
obligations (CDOs), portfolios of external collateralised loan obligations 
(CLOs) or specific bonds/floating rate notes (FRNs). 

Being derivatives, both the sold protection and purchased protection 
are marked-to-market. Prior to the commencement of the global 
financial crisis, movements in valuations of these positions were not 
significant and the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) charge on the 
protection bought from the non-collateralised financial guarantors 
was minimal. 

During and after the global financial crisis, the market value of the 
structured credit transactions increased and the financial guarantors 
were downgraded. The combined impact of this was to increase the 
CVA charge on the purchased protection from financial guarantors. 
Volatility in the market value and hence CVA will continue to persist 
given the volatility in credit spreads and USD/AUD rates.

Credit valuation adjustments are included as part of the Group’s profit 
and loss statement, and accordingly, increases in the CVA charge or 
volatility in that charge could adversely affect the Group’s profitability.

15.  The Group is exposed to operational risk, 
which may adversely affect its business, 
operations and financial condition

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

Loss from operational risk events could adversely affect the Group’s 
financial results. Such losses can include fines, penalties, loss or 
theft of funds or assets, legal costs, customer compensation, loss of 
shareholder value, reputation loss, loss of life or injury to people, and 
loss of property and/or information.

Operational risk is typically classified into the risk event type 
categories to measure and compare risks on a consistent basis. 
Examples of operational risk events according to category are 
as follows:
 } internal fraud: risk that fraudulent acts are planned, initiated or 
executed by employees (permanent, temporary or contractors) 
from inside ANZ e.g. a rogue trader.

 } external fraud: fraudulent acts or attempts which originate from 
outside ANZ e.g. valueless cheques, counterfeit credit cards, loan 
applications in false names, stolen identity etc.

 } employment practices & workplace safety: employee relations, 
diversity and discrimination, and health and safety risks to ANZ 
employees. 

 } clients, products & business practices: risk of market manipulation, 
product defects, incorrect advice, money laundering and misuse of 
customer information;

 } business disruption (including systems failures): risk that 

ANZ’s banking operating systems are disrupted or fail. At ANZ, 
technology risks are key Operational Risks which fall under 
this category.

 } damage to physical assets: risk that a natural disaster or terrorist or 

vandalism attack damages ANZ’s buildings or property; and

 } execution, delivery & process management: risk that ANZ 

experiences losses as a result of data entry errors, accounting 
errors, vendor, supplier or outsource provider errors, or failed 
mandatory reporting.

Direct or indirect losses that occur as a result of operational failures, 
breakdowns, omissions or unplanned events could adversely affect 
the Group’s financial results.

16.  Disruption of information technology 

systems or failure to successfully implement 
new technology systems could significantly 
interrupt the Group’s business which may 
adversely affect its business, operations and 
financial condition

The Group is highly dependent on information systems and 
technology and there is a risk that these, or the services the 
Group uses or is dependent upon, might fail, including because of 
unauthorised access or use. 

Most of the Group’s daily operations are computer-based and 
information technology systems are essential to maintaining effective 
communications with customers. The exposure to systems risks 
includes the complete or partial failure of information technology 
systems or data centre infrastructure, the inadequacy of internal and 
third-party information technology systems due to, among other 
things, failure to keep pace with industry developments and the 
capacity of the existing systems to effectively accommodate growth, 
prevent unauthorised access and integrate existing and future 
acquisitions and alliances. 

To manage these risks, the Group has disaster recovery and 
information technology governance in place. However, any 
failure of these systems could result in business interruption, 
customer dissatisfaction and ultimately loss of customers, financial 
compensation, damage to reputation and/or a weakening of the 
Group’s competitive position, which could adversely impact the 
Group’s business and have a material adverse effect on the Group’s 
financial condition and operations. 

In addition, the Group has an ongoing need to update and 
implement new information technology systems, in part to assist it 
to satisfy regulatory demands, ensure information security, enhance 
computer-based banking services for the Group’s customers and 
integrate the various segments of its business. The Group may not 
implement these projects effectively or execute them efficiently, 
which could lead to increased project costs, delays in the ability 
to comply with regulatory requirements, failure of the Group’s 
information security controls or a decrease in the Group’s ability to 
service its customers.

PRINCIPAL RISkS  AND UNCERTAINTIES  

  195

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013PRINCIPAL RISkS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

17.  The Group is exposed to risks associated 
with information security, which may 
adversely affect its financial results 
and reputation

Information security means protecting information and information 
systems from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, 
modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. As a 
bank, the Group handles a considerable amount of personal and 
confidential information about its customers and its own internal 
operations. The Group also uses third parties to process and 
manage information on its behalf. The Group employs a team of 
information security subject matter experts who are responsible for 
the development and implementation of the Group’s Information 
Security Policy. The Group is conscious that threats to information 
security are continuously evolving and as such the Group conducts 
regular internal and external reviews to ensure new threats are 
identified, evolving risks are mitigated, policies and procedures are 
updated, and good practice is maintained. However, there is a risk 
that information may be inadvertently or inappropriately accessed 
or distributed or illegally accessed or stolen. Any unauthorised use 
of confidential information could potentially result in breaches 
of privacy laws, regulatory sanctions, legal action, and claims 
for compensation or erosion to the Group’s competitive market 
position, which could adversely affect the Group’s financial position 
and reputation.

18.  The Group is exposed to reputation risk, 
which may adversely impact its business, 
operations and financial condition

Damage to the Group’s reputation may have wide-ranging 
impacts, including adverse effects on the Group’s profitability, 
capacity and cost of sourcing funding, and availability of new 
business opportunities.

Reputation risk may arise as a result of an external event or the 
Group’s own actions, and adversely affect perceptions about 
the Group held by the public (including the Group’s customers), 
shareholders, investors, regulators or rating agencies. The impact of 
a risk event on the Group’s reputation may exceed any direct cost of 
the risk event itself and may adversely impact the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition. 

19.  The unexpected loss of key staff or 

inadequate management of human 
resources may adversely affect the Group’s 
business, operations and financial condition

The Group’s ability to attract and retain suitably qualified and skilled 
employees is an important factor in achieving its strategic objectives. 
The Chief Executive Officer and the management team of the Chief 
Executive Officer have skills and reputation that are critical to setting 
the strategic direction, successful management and growth of the 
Group, and whose unexpected loss due to resignation, retirement, 
death or illness may adversely affect its operations and financial 
condition. The Group may in the future have difficulty retaining or 
attracting highly qualified people for important roles, which could 
adversely affect its business, operations and financial condition.

20.  The Group may be exposed to the impact 
of future climate change, geological 
events, plant and animal diseases, and 
other extrinsic events which may adversely 
affect its business, operations and 
financial condition

ANZ and its customers are exposed to climate related events 
(including climate change). These events include severe storms, 
drought, fires, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and rising sea levels. 
ANZ and its customers may also be exposed to other events such as 
geological events (volcanic or seismic activity, tsunamis); plant and 
animal diseases or a pandemic. Examples include earthquakes in 
New Zealand and floods in Australia and the Philippines.

Depending on their severity, events such as these may temporarily 
interrupt or restrict the provision of some local or Group services, and 
may also adversely affect the Group’s financial condition or collateral 
position in relation to credit facilities extended to customers.

21.  Regulatory changes or a failure to comply 
with regulatory standards, law or policies 
may adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations or financial condition

The Group is subject to laws, regulations, policies and codes of 
practice in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United 
States of America, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, China and other 
countries within the Asia Pacific region in which it has operations, 
trades or raises funds or in respect of which it has some other 
connection. In particular, the Group’s banking, funds management 
and insurance activities are subject to extensive regulation, mainly 
relating to its liquidity levels, capital, solvency, provisioning, and 
insurance policy terms and conditions. 

Regulations vary from country to country but generally are designed 
to protect depositors, insured parties, customers with other banking 
products, and the banking and insurance system as a whole. Some 
of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates do not permit local 
deposits to be used to fund operations outside of that jurisdiction. 
In the event the Group experiences reduced liquidity, these deposits 
may not be available to fund the operations of the Group.

The Australian Government and its agencies, including APRA, the 
RBA and other financial industry regulatory bodies including the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and the 
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), have 
supervisory oversight of the Group. The New Zealand Government 
and its agencies, including the RBNZ, the Financial Markets Authority 
and the Commerce Commission, have supervisory oversight of the 
Group’s operations in New Zealand. To the extent that the Group has 
operations, trades or raises funds in, or has some other connection 
with, countries other than Australia or New Zealand, then such 
activities may be subject to the laws of, and regulation by agencies 
in, those countries. Such regulatory agencies include, by way of 
example, the United States Federal Reserve Board, the United States 
Department of Treasury, the United States Office of the Comptroller 
of the Currency, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, 
the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority and the 
Financial Conduct Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, 
the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the China Banking Regulatory 

196

22.  The Group may face increased tax reporting 

compliance costs

In March 2010, the United States enacted legislation (Foreign Account 
Tax Compliance Act - “FATCA”) that requires non-United States banks 
and other financial institutions to provide information on United 
States account holders to the United States Federal tax authority, 
the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In addition, it is likely that 
future laws will be adopted by jurisdictions (including Australia and 
New Zealand), that enter into intergovernmental agreements (“IGAs”) 
with the United States in furtherance of FATCA and will require that 
such information be reported to a non-United States institution’s 
local revenue authority to forward to the IRS. If this information is not 
provided in a manner and form meeting the applicable requirements, 
a non-United States institution may be subjected to penalties and 
potentially a 30% withholding tax applied to certain amounts paid to 
it. No such withholding tax will be imposed on any payments derived 
from sources within the United States that are made prior to 1 July 
2014, and no such withholding tax will be imposed on any payments 
derived from sources outside the United States that are made 
prior to 1 January 2017, at the earliest. Australia and New Zealand 
have not yet entered into IGAs as described above. ANZ Group is 
expected to make significant investments in order to comply with the 
requirements of FATCA or, if applicable, any local laws implementing 
an IGA.

23.  Unexpected changes to the Group’s 

license to operate in any jurisdiction may 
adversely affect its business, operations 
and financial condition

The Group is licensed to operate in the various countries, states and 
territories. Unexpected changes in the conditions of the licenses to 
operate by governments, administrations or regulatory agencies 
which prohibit or restrict the Group from trading in a manner 
that was previously permitted may adversely impact the Group’s 
operations and subsequent financial results. 

Commission, the Kanto Local Finance Bureau of Japan, and other 
financial regulatory bodies in those countries and in other relevant 
countries. In addition, the Group’s expansion and growth in the Asia 
Pacific region gives rise to a requirement to comply with a number of 
different legal and regulatory regimes across that region. 

A failure to comply with any standards, laws, regulations or policies in 
any of those jurisdictions could result in sanctions by these or other 
regulatory agencies, the exercise of any discretionary powers that the 
regulators hold or compensatory action by affected persons, which 
may in turn cause substantial damage to the Group’s reputation. 
To the extent that these regulatory requirements limit the Group’s 
operations or flexibility, they could adversely impact the Group’s 
profitability and prospects. 

These regulatory and other governmental agencies (including 
revenue and tax authorities) frequently review banking and tax 
laws, regulations, codes of practice and policies. Changes to laws, 
regulations, codes of practice or policies, including changes in 
interpretation or implementation of laws, regulations, codes of 
practice or policies, could affect the Group in substantial and 
unpredictable ways and may even conflict with each other. 
These may include increasing required levels of bank liquidity 
and capital adequacy, limiting the types of financial services and 
products the Group can offer, and/or increasing the ability of 
non-banks to offer competing financial services or products, as well 
as changes to accounting standards, taxation laws and prudential 
regulatory requirements.

As a result of the global financial crisis, the Basel Committee 
released capital reform packages to strengthen the resilience of the 
banking and insurance sectors, including proposals to strengthen 
capital and liquidity requirements for the banking sector. APRA has 
released Prudential Standards implementing Basel 3 with effect from 
1 January 2013. Other regulators in jurisdictions where the Group 
has a presence have also either implemented or are in the process 
of implementing Basel 3 and equivalent reforms. In addition, the 
United States has passed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 
and Consumer Protection Act which significantly affects financial 
institutions and financial activities in the United States. There can be 
no assurance that any of the foregoing will be effective.

Uncertainty remains as to the final form that some of the proposed 
regulatory changes will take in certain jurisdictions outside Australia 
in which the Group operates (including the United Sates) and any 
such changes could adversely affect the Group’s business, operations 
and financial condition. The changes may lead the Group to, among 
other things, change its business mix, incur additional costs as a 
result of increased management attention, raise additional amounts 
of higher-quality capital (such as Ordinary Shares, Additional Tier 1 
Capital or Tier 2 Capital instruments) or retain capital (through lower 
dividends), and hold significant levels of additional liquid assets and 
undertake further lengthening of the funding base.

PRINCIPAL RISkS  AND UNCERTAINTIES  

  197

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013PRINCIPAL RISkS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

24.  The Group is exposed to insurance risk, 
which may adversely affect its business, 
operations and financial condition

26.  Changes to accounting policies may 
adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition

Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to unexpected changes in current 
and future insurance claim rates. In life insurance business, insurance 
risk arises primarily through mortality (death) and morbidity (illness 
and injury) risks being greater than expected and, in the case of 
annuity business, should annuitants live longer than expected. For 
general insurance business, insurance risk arises mainly through 
weather-related incidents (including floods and bushfires) and other 
calamities, such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activities, 
as well as adverse variability in home, contents, motor, travel and 
other insurance claim amounts. For further details on climate and 
geological events see also the risk factor entitled “The Group may be 
exposed to the impact of future climate change, geological events, 
plant and animal diseases, and other extrinsic events which may 
adversely affect its business, operations and financial condition”. 
The Group has exposure to insurance risk in both life insurance and 
general insurance business, which may adversely affect its business, 
operations and financial condition.

In addition, the Group has various direct and indirect pension 
obligations towards its current and former staff. These obligations 
entail various risks which are similar to, among others, risks involving 
a capital investment. Risks, however, may also arise due to changes in 
tax or other legislation, and/or in judicial rulings, as well as inflation 
rates or interest rates. Any of these risks could have a material adverse 
effect on the Group’s business, operations and financial condition.

25.  The Group may experience reductions in 

the valuation of some of its assets, resulting 
in fair value adjustments that may have a 
material adverse effect on its earnings

Under Australian Accounting Standards, the Group recognises 
the following instruments at fair value with changes in fair value 
recognised in earnings: 
 } derivative financial instruments, including in the case of fair 
value hedging, the fair value adjustment on the underlying 
hedged exposure; 

 } financial instruments held for trading; and
 } assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss.

In addition, the Group recognised available-for-sale financial assets 
at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in equity unless the 
asset is impaired, in which case, the decline if fair value is recognised 
in earnings.

Generally, in order to establish the fair value of these instruments, 
the Group relies on quoted market prices or, where the market for 
a financial instrument is not sufficiently active, fair values are based 
on present value estimates or other accepted valuation techniques 
which incorporate the impact of factors that would influence the 
fair value as determined by a market participant. The fair value 
of these instruments is impacted by changes in market prices or 
valuation inputs which could have a material adverse effect on the 
Group’s earnings.

The accounting policies and methods that the Group applies are 
fundamental to how it records and reports its financial position 
and results of operations. Management must exercise judgment 
in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and 
methods so that they not only comply with generally accepted 
accounting principles but they also reflect the most appropriate 
manner in which to record and report on the financial position and 
results of operations. However, these accounting policies may be 
applied inaccurately, resulting in a misstatement of financial position 
and results of operations. 

In some cases, management must select an accounting policy 
or method from two or more alternatives, any of which might 
comply with generally accepted accounting principles and be 
reasonable under the circumstances, yet might result in reporting 
materially different outcomes than would have been reported under 
another alternative.

27.  The Group may be exposed to the risk 
of impairment to non-lending related 
assets including investments in associates, 
capitalised software, goodwill and other 
intangible assets that may adversely 
affect its business, operations and 
financial condition

In certain circumstances the Group may be exposed to a reduction 
in the value of non-lending related assets.

As at 30 September 2013, the Group carried goodwill principally 
related to its investments in New Zealand and Australia, intangible 
assets principally relating to assets recognised on acquisition of 
subsidiaries, and capitalised software balances and investment in 
equity accounted associates. 

The Group is required to assess the recoverability of the goodwill 
balances on at least an annual basis. For this purpose the Group uses 
either a discounted cash flow or a multiple of earnings calculation. 
Changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based, 
together with expected changes in future cash flows, could materially 
impact this assessment, resulting in the potential write-off of a part or 
all of the goodwill balances. 

Capitalised software and other intangible assets (including Acquired 
portfolio of insurance and investment business and deferred 
acquisition costs) are assessed for indicators of impairment at least 
annually. In the event that an asset is no longer in use, or that the 
cash flows generated by the asset do not support the carrying value, 
impairment may be recorded, adversely impacting the Group’s 
financial condition.

Investments in associates are assessed for indicators of impairment 
at least annually. In the event that the equity accounted carrying 
value is above the recoverable value, impairment may be recorded, 
adversely impacting the Group’s financial condition.

198

28.  Litigation and contingent liabilities may 
adversely affect the Group’s business, 
operations and financial condition

From time to time, the Group may be subject to material litigation, 
regulatory actions, legal or arbitration proceedings and other 
contingent liabilities which, if they crystallise, may adversely affect 
the Group’s results. The Group’s material contingent liabilities are 
described in Note 43 to the audited annual consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended 30 September 2013. There is a risk that 
these contingent liabilities may be larger than anticipated or that 
additional litigation or other contingent liabilities may arise. 

29.  The Group regularly considers acquisition 

and divestment opportunities, and there is a 
risk that ANZ may undertake an acquisition 
or divestment that could result in a material 
adverse effect on its business, operations 
and financial condition 

The Group regularly examines a range of corporate opportunities, 
including material acquisitions and disposals, with a view to 
determining whether those opportunities will enhance the Group’s 
financial performance and position. Any corporate opportunity that 
is pursued could, for a variety of reasons, turn out to have a material 
adverse effect on the Group. 

The successful implementation of the Group’s corporate strategy, 
including its strategy to expand in the Asia Pacific region, will 
depend on a range of factors including potential funding strategies, 
and challenges associated with integrating and adding value to 
acquired businesses, as well as new regulatory, market and other 
risks associated with increasing operations outside of Australia and 
New Zealand. 

There can be no assurance that any acquisition would have the 
anticipated positive results, including results relating to the total 
cost of integration, the time required to complete the integration, 
the amount of longer-term cost savings, the overall performance of 
the combined entity, or an improved price for the Group’s securities. 
Integration of an acquired business can be complex and costly, 
sometimes including combining relevant accounting and data 
processing systems, and management controls, as well as managing 
relevant relationships with employees, customers, counterparties, 
suppliers and other business partners. Integration efforts could 
divert management attention and resources, which could adversely 
affect the Group’s operations or results. Additionally, there can be no 
assurance that employees, customers, counterparties, suppliers and 
other business partners of newly acquired businesses will remain 
as such post-acquisition, and the loss of employees, customers, 
counterparties, suppliers and other business partners could adversely 
affect the Group’s operations or results. 

Acquisitions and disposals may also result in business disruptions 
that cause the Group to lose customers or cause customers to remove 
their business from the Group to competing financial institutions. 
It is possible that the integration process related to acquisitions 

could result in the disruption of the Group’s ongoing businesses or 
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that 
could adversely affect the Group’s ability to maintain relationships 
with employees, customers, counterparties, suppliers and other 
business partners, which could adversely affect the Group’s ability to 
conduct its business successfully. The Group’s operating performance, 
risk profile or capital structure may also be affected by these 
corporate opportunities and there is a risk that any of the Group’s 
credit ratings may be placed on credit watch or downgraded if these 
opportunities are pursued.

30.  The Group may be exposed to risks 

pertaining to the provision of advice, 
recommendations or guidance about 
financial products and services in the course 
of its sales and marketing activities which 
may adversely affect the Group’s business 
and operations

Such risks can include:
 } the provision of unsuitable or inappropriate advice (commensurate 

with a customer’s objectives and appetite for risk), 

 } the representation of, or disclosure about, a product or service 
which is inaccurate, or does not provide adequate information 
about risks and benefits to customers, 

 } a failure to appropriately manage conflicts of interest within 
sales and /or promotion processes (including incentives and 
remuneration for staff engaged in promotion, sales and/or the 
provision of advice), 

 } a failure to deliver product features and benefits in accordance with 

terms, disclosures, recommendations and/or advice. 

Exposure to such risk may increase during periods of declining 
investment asset values (such as during a period of economic 
downturn or investment market volatility), leading to sub-optimal 
performance of investment products and/or portfolios that were not 
aligned with the customer’s objectives and risk appetite.

ANZ is regulated under various legislative mechanisms in the 
countries in which it operates that provide for consumer protection 
around advisory, marketing and sales practices. These may include, 
but are not limited to, appropriate management of conflicts of 
interest, appropriate accreditation standards for staff authorised 
to provide advice about financial products and services, disclosure 
standards, standards for ensuring adequate assessment of client/
product suitability, quality assurance activities, adequate record 
keeping, and procedures for the management of complaints 
and disputes. 

Risks pertaining to advice about financial products and services may 
result in material litigation (and associated financial costs), regulatory 
actions, and/or reputational consequences.

The measurement of risk weighted assets is based on: 
 } a credit risk-based approach whereby risk weightings are applied to balance sheet assets and to credit converted off-balance sheet exposures, 

categories of risk weights are assigned based upon the nature of the counterparty and the relative liquidity of the assets concerned; 

 } the recognition of risk weighted assets attributable to market risk arising from trading positions and interest rate movements; and
 } a risk weighted asset equivalent of a charge for operational risk.

For calculation of minimum capital requirements under Pillar 1 (Capital Requirements) of the Basel 2 Accord implemented from January 2008, 
ANZ gained accreditation from APRA for use of Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for credit risk weighted assets and 
Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk weighted asset equivalent. Basel 3 reforms were introduced on 1 January 2013.

In addition to the disclosures in this section, ANZ provides capital information as required under APRA’s prudential standard 
APS 330: Public Disclosure Attachment A. This information is located in the Regulatory Disclosures section of ANZ’s website:

4. Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit

TREASURY SHARES ADJUSTMENT

ANZ shares held by the Group in the consolidated managed funds 
and life business are deemed to be Treasury shares for accounting 
purposes. Dividends and realised and unrealised gains and losses 
from these shares are reversed as these are not permitted to be 
recognised in income for statutory reporting purposes. In deriving 
cash profit, these earnings are included to ensure there is no 
asymmetrical impact on the Group’s profits because the Treasury 
shares support policy liabilities which are revalued in deriving 
income. Accordingly, an adjustment to statutory profit of $84 million 
gain after tax (2012: $96 million gain after tax), pre-tax $90 million 
gain (2012: $104 million gain) has been recognised. 

RE vALUATION Of POLICY  LIABILITIES

When calculating policy liabilities, the projected future cash flows 
on insurance contracts are discounted to reflect the present 
value of the obligation, with the impact of changes in the market 
discount rate each period being reflected in the income statement. 
ANZ includes the impact on the remeasurement of the insurance 
contract attributable to changes in the market discount rates as an 
adjustment to cash profit to remove the volatility attributable to 
changes in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of 
the insurance contract.

ECONOMIC HEDGING AND REvENUE AND 
NET INvESTMENT HEDGES

The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate 
and foreign exchange risk. The application of AASB 139: Financial 
Instruments – Recognition and Measurement results in fair value 
gains and losses being recognised within the income statement. 
ANZ includes the mark-to-market adjustments as an adjustment 
to cash profit as the profit or loss resulting from the transactions 
will reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the 

economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This includes gains 
and losses arising from:
 } approved classes of derivatives not designated in accounting 
hedge relationships but which are considered to be economic 
hedges, including hedges of NZD and USD revenue;

 } the use of the fair value option (principally arising from the 

valuation of the ‘own name’ credit spread on debt issues designated 
at fair value); and

 } ineffectiveness from designated accounting cash flow, fair value 

and net investment hedges.

In the table below, funding and lending related swaps are primarily 
cross currency interest rate swaps which are being used to convert 
the proceeds of foreign currency debt issuances into floating rate 
Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar debt. As these swaps do 
not qualify for hedge accounting, movements in the fair values 
are recorded in the Income Statement. The main drivers of these 
fair values are currency basis spreads and the Australian dollar 
and New Zealand dollar fluctuation against other major funding 
currencies. This category also includes economic hedges of select 
structured finance and specialised leasing transactions that do not 
qualify for hedge accounting. The main drivers of these fair value 
adjustments are Australian and New Zealand yield curves.

Gains in funding and lending related swaps were the result of a 
significant weakening in AUD across the major currencies, most notably 
USD and EUR in the second half of 2013 partially offsetting losses from 
contraction in currency basis spreads in the first half of 2013. 

Losses arising from the use of the fair value option on own name 
debt hedged by derivatives are a result of a contraction of the Group’s 
credit spreads in the first half of 2013, with spreads stabilising in the 
second half of 2013. 

The losses from revenue and net investment hedges for 2013 were 
principally attributable to the depreciation of the AUD against the 
USD in 2012.

CREDIT RISK ON IMPAIRED DERIvATIvES   
(NIL PROfIT AfTER TA x IMPACT)

Reclassification of a charge to income for credit valuation 
adjustments on defaulted and impaired derivative exposures to 
provision for credit impairment of $9 million (2012: $60 million). 
The reclassification has been made to reflect the manner in which 
the defaulted and impaired derivatives are managed.

POLICYHOLDERS TAx GROSS UP  
(NIL PROfIT AfTER TA x IMPACT)

For statutory reporting purposes policyholder income tax and 
other related taxes paid on behalf of policyholders are included 
in net income from wealth management and the Group’s income 
tax expense. The gross up of $371 million (2012: $151 million) has 
been excluded from the underlying results as it does not reflect the 
underlying performance of the business which is assessed on a net of 
policyholder tax basis.

STRUCTURED CREDIT INTERMEDIATION TRADES

ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation trades 
from 2004 to 2007. The underlying structures involve credit default 
swaps (CDS) over synthetic collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), 
portfolios of external collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) or 
specific bonds/floating rate notes (FRNs). ANZ sold protection using 
credit default swaps over these structures and then to mitigate 
risk, purchased protection via credit default swaps over the same 
structures from eight US financial guarantors. 

Being derivatives, both the sold protection and purchased protection 
are marked-to-market. Prior to the commencement of the global credit 
crisis, movements in valuations of these positions were not significant 
and largely offset each other in income. Following the onset of the 
credit crisis, the purchased protection has provided only a partial offset 
against movements in valuation of the sold protection because: 
 } one of the counterparties to the purchased protection defaulted 

and many of the remaining counterparties were downgraded; and

 } a credit valuation adjustment is applied to the remaining 

counterparties to the purchased protection reflective of changes to 
their credit worthiness.

ANZ is actively monitoring this portfolio with a view to reducing the 
exposure via termination and restructuring of both the bought and 
sold protection if and when ANZ deems it cost effective relative to 
the perceived risk associated with a specific trade or counterparty. 
During the year ANZ terminated all bought CDSs with one financial 
guarantor along with the corresponding sold CDSs for a net 
profit of $7 million (including termination costs and release of the 
associated credit valuation adjustment (CVA)). The bought and sold 
protection trades are by nature largely offsetting, with notional 
amounts on the outstanding bought CDSs and outstanding sold 
CDSs at 30 September 2013 each amounting to USD 4.5 billion 
(2012: USD 8.0 billion).

The profit and loss impact of credit risk on structured credit 
derivatives remains volatile reflecting the impact of market 
movements in credit spreads and AUD/USD rates. The (gain)/loss on 
structured credit intermediation trades is included as an adjustment 
to cash profit as it relates to a legacy non-core business where the 
cumulative mark-to-market movements are expected to reverse to 
zero in future periods.

The (gain)/loss included in income for these transactions is set 
out below.

ANZ ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Cash profit is a measure of profit which is prepared on a basis 
other than in accordance with accounting standards. Cash profit 
represents a measure of the result of the ongoing business activities 
of the Group, enabling shareholders to assess Group and Divisional 
performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. 
To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes items from statutory 
net profit as set out below. These items are calculated consistently 
period on period so as not to discriminate between positive and 
negative adjustments.

Gains and losses are adjusted where they are significant, or have 
the potential to be significant in any one period, and fall into one of 
three categories:
1. non-core gains and losses included in earnings arising from 

changes in tax, legal, accounting legislation or other non-core 
items not associated with the ongoing operations of the Group;
2. treasury shares, revaluation of policy liabilities, economic hedging 

impacts and similar accounting items that represent timing 
differences that will reverse through earnings in the future; and
3. accounting reclassifications between individual line items that do 
not impact reported results, such as policyholder tax gross up.

The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in 
statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the 
Group statutory audit opinion. Cash profit is not subject to audit by 
the external auditor however, the external auditor has informed the 
Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determined on a 
consistent basis across each period presented.

Collective provision is the provision for credit losses that are inherent 
in the portfolio but not able to be individually identified. A collective 
provision may only be recognised when a loss event has already 
occurred. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how 
likely, are not recognised. 

Covered Bonds are bonds issued by an ADI to external investors 
secured against a pool of the ADI’s assets (the cover pool) assigned 
to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. The primary assets 
forming the cover pool are mortgage loans. The mortgages remain 
on the issuer’s balance sheet. The covered bond holders have dual 
recourse to the issuer and the cover pool assets. The mortgages 
included in the cover pool cannot be otherwise pledged or disposed 
of but may be repurchased and substituted in order to maintain the 
credit quality of the pool. The Group issues covered bonds as part of 
its funding activities. 

Credit equivalent represents the calculation of on-balance sheet 
equivalents for market related items.

Customer deposits represent term deposits, other deposits bearing 
interest, deposits not bearing interest and borrowing corporations 
debt excluding securitisation deposits.

the financial difficulties of the customer. Financial assets are impaired
