OUR CULTURE AND VALUES
OUR PURPOSE
Our values are the foundation of how we work and are

guiding principles and sets the standards for the way we
do business at ANZ.
We care about:

through helping to address complex issues that matter to
society and are core to our business and strategy. We are

ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

CHAIRMAN’S
MESSAGE
DAVID GONSKI, AC
This was a challenging year
for both ANZ and the entire
banking industry.
Our statutory profit was $6,400
million, flat since 2017. Cash profit
for ANZ’s continuing operations
(which excludes non-core items and
the discontinued Wealth businesses
from the statutory profit) was
$6,487 million, down 4.7%.
6
THIS SIMPLIFICATION OF OUR
BUSINESS IS CRITICAL. WE KNOW
A SIMPLER BANK IS MORE FOCUSED
AND EASIER TO MANAGE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE REGULATION
AND COMPLIANCE IS INCREASING.
The final dividend of 160 cents per share fully franked was
unchanged from 2017. This reflects a dividend payout ratio of
79.5% of cash profit (total Group), with $4.6 billion in dividends paid
to shareholders. This is above our target fully franked payout ratio
of 60-65% of cash profit (total Group), however our strong capital
position has allowed us to maintain a stable dividend.
While growth was subdued, particularly in Australian retail banking,
the fundamentals of our business remain sound. We recognised
many of the headwinds facing the sector early and the actions
commenced several years ago to simplify our business are now
benefiting shareholders.
During the year, we announced the sale of both our Pensions and
Investments businesses to IOOF and our Life Insurance businesses
to Zurich, as well as the sale of our Life Insurance business in New
Zealand to Cigna. We also increased our focus on Institutional
banking with the announced sale of our Retail and Commercial
business in Papua New Guinea to Kina Bank and the sale of our
ANZ Royal Bank (Cambodia) joint venture to J Trust.
We completed the sale of our minority stake in Shanghai Rural
Commercial Bank and the sale of our share in the Philippines-based
Metrobank Card Corporation joint venture.
A highlight of the year was completing the complex separation of our
six retail and wealth businesses in Asia on time and under budget.
This simplification of our business is critical. We know a simpler
bank is more focused and easier to manage in an environment
where regulation and compliance is increasing. We have
rebalanced our business, improved the returns of the Institutional
division, delivered consistent outcomes in New Zealand and we are
directing investment and capital to our areas of strategic focus such
as Australian home owners.
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT EARNING TRUST
The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking,
Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has been
confronting for all of us at ANZ, including the Board. We are
unanimous in our resolve to build a company of which we
and all of our stakeholders can be proud.
We recognise this has not been the case in the last decade and
that we have failed in some circumstances to do the right thing
and to keep the needs of our customers as our priority.
The Board and senior management will improve transparency
with customers and ensure that the balance between earnings
and providing worthwhile, fair and desired services to our
customers is maintained at all times.
This is why we have engaged with the Royal Commission openly
and constructively and will not wait for its final recommendations
before taking action to ensure our failures do not occur again.
We also support strongly the approach that our Chief Executive
Officer, Shayne Elliott has stated publicly which is that where ANZ
has failed, we will compensate those affected quickly and fairly
and take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.
The Ethics, Environment, Social and Governance Committee of
the Board is active and well informed. The Board has also made it
known within ANZ that asking the question ‘is this the right thing
to do?’ is critical.
As you will see in the Remuneration Report, variable remuneration
at all levels of ANZ has been materially reduced.
We now have a new executive team running the bank. However,
accountability for our failures is still reflected in this year’s
remuneration of our most senior team including our Chief
Executive Officer.
While the Board itself does not receive variable compensation,
it shares some accountability for what has occurred.
As an indication of the Board’s understanding of its accountability,
existing Non-Executive Directors will receive in FY19 a reduction of
an amount equivalent to 20% of the FY18 base Non-Executive Director
fee (and in my case, 20% of my Chairman’s fee). This is in addition to
the bank’s efforts to identify and fix the causes of our failures.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Despite these difficult macro conditions, the progress of our
transformation means we have been able to return surplus capital
to shareholders while retaining appropriate flexibility to invest in
our business. This year we have maintained our unquestionably
strong capital levels, reducing shares on issue by 67 million
(equivalent to $1.9 billion) from an announced $3.0 billion share
buyback program.
OUTLOOK
We expect the trading environment in Australia to remain
challenging, particularly in retail banking, as the industry responds
to increasing regulation and compliance costs, as well as
implementing the recommendations of the Royal Commission.
ANZ is well placed to navigate these difficult conditions given
the progress of our transformation and simplification agenda.
Our focus on cost and capital management and our exposure to
international trade and commercial banking also positions ANZ
well for the future.
I know we have the right management team in place, led by
Shayne Elliott, to deliver on a strategy that will create sustained
value for our shareholders, customers and employees well into
the future. I know we are taking the action required to create a
company we can all be proud of.

CEO’S
MESSAGE
SHAYNE ELLIOTT
WE ARE MAKING THE INVESTMENTS
REQUIRED TO BUILD A BANK WORTHY
OF THE TRUST AND RESPECT OF OUR
CUSTOMERS, SHAREHOLDERS AND
THE COMMUNITY.
We have delivered a
credible result in 2018 for
shareholders, customers
and employees given the
significant challenges facing
ANZ and the industry.
The actions commenced in 2016
to simplify our business, reduce
cost and rebalance capital have us
well placed to meet the challenges
facing the industry.
OUR PROGRESS
We want to do fewer things and do them really well – while
ensuring they are aligned to our purpose. At the same time, we
need to focus on the areas where we can win and drive a decent
return for shareholders.
In Australia and New Zealand we want to be the best bank for
people who want to buy and own their home and for those who
want to start, run or grow a small business. In Institutional banking
we want to be the best bank in the world for those companies and
organisations that move goods and money around the region.
I am confident our strategy of focus, simplification and digital
transformation is right, indeed essential, for the times. A simpler
organisation is less complex to manage and hence better able to
deliver sustainable earnings – and when things do go wrong, we
are in a better position to fix them quickly.
Retail banking in Australia is facing strong headwinds. The
combined impacts of regulatory and macro prudential
requirements have seen annual housing market growth slow
with a substantial reduction in the average household’s potential
borrowing capacity.
This year we maintained our disciplined approach to home loan
growth, focusing on customers who want to buy and own their
own home. We have deliberately foregone short-term revenue
growth and higher margins, particularly in the investor and
interest-only segments. This focus has driven better risk-adjusted
returns and is in the long-term interest of shareholders.
Institutional banking continued to provide diversified earnings
for the Group with the transformation of our business making
earnings less volatile. ANZ was again named a top-four corporate
bank in Asia and our position as a leading trade bank in the Asian
region will be an even more important differentiator as housing
credit slows in Australia.
ROYAL COMMISSION
This is a critical moment for the industry, our bank and our people.
We continue the urgent work required to fix the significant failures
highlighted by the Royal Commission. We have accepted
responsibility and we are determined to improve.
We have taken action to fast-track fundamental changes
involving leadership, strategy, systems, people and culture.
We are also making the investments required to build a bank
worthy of the trust and respect of our customers, shareholders
and the community.
We will also compensate customers we have failed quickly and
fairly and take steps to ensure that it does not happen again.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT DIGITAL CUSTOMERS
This year we made significant gains in using digital technology
to improve the services we provide to customers, while also
improving our operational capacity and reducing risk.
We rolled out the New Payments Platform to more than three
million retail and commercial customers, allowing them to
transfer funds to other participating banks in real-time with
improved data capability. This was a complex project involving
more than 150 people over three years that will provide
significant benefit to our customers.
During the year, we extended our leadership in mobile payments
with the addition of Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay, while adding
eftpos on Apple Pay and Android Pay. In an Australian-first we now
allow cash withdrawals from ANZ ATMs using any mobile device.
We also introduced a new mobile banking app that remains the
top-rated banking app in the Australian Apple store with almost
150,000 reviews.
In New Zealand, we made it easier for customers to interact with
the bank through the introduction of a digital assistant, ‘Jamie’,
using artificial intelligence technology to help customers with the
top-40 most asked banking questions.
LIVING OUR PURPOSE
A crucial evolution for our business this year has been identifying,
adopting and embedding a clear sense of purpose: to shape a
world where people and communities thrive.
Along with our values, this underpins everything we do and will
ensure all our people can undertake their work with pride and a
stronger sense of ethics and fairness.
We took action to rebalance sales incentives for front-line staff,
including the removal of all sales incentives for financial planners.
This included offering free advice reviews for customers concerned
about their current financial position.
We invested more than $137 million in the communities in which
we operate, though our employee volunteering and giving
programs, our grants programs, and emergency relief measures
for customers and communities impacted by natural disasters.
This year sadly has been extremely tough for many of our rural and
regional customers in eastern Australia and we implemented a
significant package to help our customers impacted by this once
in a generation drought in NSW and Queensland.
The package included reducing rates on business loans for
farmers by 1% pa in all drought declared areas and setting aside
$130 million for discounted loans to help farmers re-stock and
re-plant for next season. All home owners in drought declared
regions were also excluded from a recent interest rate increase. In
addition, we donated $1 million to rural financial counselling and
community grants assisting farmers in drought-affected areas.
Our purpose also guided our decision to increase our low carbon
finance commitment from $10 billion to $15 billion by 2020,
and since 2015 we have funded $11.5 billion in low carbon and
environmentally sustainable solutions, such as renewable energy and
efficient irrigation. We are reducing our lending to the most carbon-
intensive sectors but doing so in a way that supports our customers
in making a manageable transition to a low carbon future.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the over 39,000 people who
turn up to work every day to do a better job for our customers,
shareholders and our community. While we know we still have
a significant job ahead of us, we have the right team to deliver a
better bank for all our stakeholders – a bank that can truly shape
a world where people and communities thrive.
Shayne Elliott

OUR
STRATEGY
We have embarked on a strategy to become a simpler, better balanced and
more service oriented organisation, helping our customers and our people
respond to a challenging world.
Becoming a simpler bank enables us to invest our resources to build better systems and processes, to fix things that are broken and to
develop products, services and programs that improve the financial wellbeing of our customers and the community.
We are repositioning the bank for the longer term – focused on
fewer things and doing them really well:
over the past two and a half years, but recognise that we still have
much to do.
- creating the best bank in Australia and New Zealand for home
owners and small businesses
- building the best bank in the world for clients driven by trade and
capital flows between Australia, New Zealand and Asia
- establishing a common, digital-ready infrastructure and using
data to better assist our customers to succeed in a digital world.
While the environment in which we operate is changing at a
rapid pace, the four priorities that underpin our strategy continue
to drive our transformation. We have made significant progress
Variable remuneration is designed to focus our CEO and Disclosed
Executives on key measures supporting our business strategy, and
encourage the delivery of value for shareholders. Group, division
and individual performance is considered to determine their
variable remuneration recommendations. In respect of Group
performance, an assessment against a range of annual and longer-
term strategic indicators is undertaken across the categories
of Risk, Financial and Discipline, Customer, and People and
Reputation. Together these inform the overall Group assessment.

DRIVING A PURPOSE AND VALUES LED TRANSFORMATION
ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING OUR PROGRESS: FULL YEAR 2015 TO FULL YEAR 20181
Create a stronger sense of
core purpose and ethics
- renaming both the Board Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and Responsible Business
Committee to include Ethics, providing management with a further vehicle to raise ethical and
conduct issues
- developed an ethical decision-making framework which captures how we apply our purpose, values
and principles to inform complex decisions
- changed the way we pay our employees, placing a greater focus on customer outcomes
- built momentum across our key focus areas of financial wellbeing, environmental sustainability
and housing:
- surveyed 9,500 people in ANZ Adult Financial Wellbeing Survey in Australia and New Zealand
and launched an insights report, the findings of which will inform future development of products
and services
- delivered Vulnerable Customer training to 6,100 frontline employees in Australia
- arranged 18 green bonds ($1.867 billion) on behalf of customers, including debuts in New Zealand
and Asia
-
introduced interest free loans to help New Zealanders insulate their homes, with nearly 560 loans
approved

Links to 2018 Group performance assessment:
While there were a number of highlights during the year, such as an increase in the number of women in leadership, this was offset by
employee engagement scores falling below target. Our standing in the community was impacted by significant community concern as
a result of our failures highlighted by the Royal Commission.

As a result of the sale of our OnePath pensions and investment (OnePath P&I) and aligned dealer groups (ADG) businesses to IOOF Holdings
Limited and our life insurance business to Zurich Financial Services Australia, the financial results of these businesses being divested and
associated Group reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective
(refer to page 23).

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT WHY WE USE CASH PROFIT FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS TO EXPLAIN THE GROUP’S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Group uses cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, to assess the performance of its business activities. It is an industry-wide measure which enables
comparison with our peer group. We calculate cash profit by adjusting statutory profit for non-core items. In general, it represents financial
performance that can be controlled by management and reflects our core business activities. We use cash profit internally to set targets and
incentivise our Senior Executives and leaders through our remuneration plans. In addition, we believe cash profit from continuing operations is
particularly important as we continue to strategically reposition ourselves to create a simpler, better capitalised, better balanced and more
agile bank.
Cash profit and cash profit from continuing operations is not subject to audit by the external auditor. Our external auditor has informed the Audit
Committee that adjustments between statutory and cash profit have been determined on a consistent basis across each of the periods presented,
and the adjustments for the sale impact of Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank (SRCB) in 2018 and 2017 are appropriate.

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 re-measurement of the
insurance contract attributable to changes in market discount rates as an adjustment to statutory profit to
remove the volatility attributable to changes in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of
the insurance contract.
The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in
accordance with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the
Income Statement. ANZ removes the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting
from the hedge 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 larger foreign exchange denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily
NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.
ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation trades prior to the Global Financial Crisis with
eight US financial guarantors. This involved selling credit default swaps (CDSs) as protection over specific
debt structures and purchasing CDS protection over the same structures. ANZ has subsequently exited its
positions with six US financial guarantors and is monitoring the remaining two portfolios with a view to
reducing the exposures when ANZ deems it cost effective relative to the perceived risk associated with a
specific trade or counterparty.
The impact of SRCB was treated as an adjustment between continuing operations statutory profit and cash
profit in 2017. The rationale being the loss on reclassification to held for sale was expected to be largely offset
by the release of gains deferred in equity reserves. The transaction was initially expected to complete in the
2017 financial year, however completion was delayed and the Group has recognised a net loss of $86 million
in continuing cash profit in the 2018 financial year.

Cash profit from continuing operations decreased $322 million (-5%) compared with the 2017 financial year.
• Net interest income decreased $361 million (-2%) largely due to a 12 basis point decrease in the net interest margin, partially offset by 4%
growth in average interest earning assets. The lower net interest margin reflects growth in lower margin liquid assets, changes in product
mix, the sale of the Asia Retail and Wealth businesses, the introduction of the major bank levy from July 2017, and the impact of higher
customer remediation charges ($69 million). This was partially offset by higher deposit margins and home loans re-pricing. The increase in
average interest earning assets reflects growth in ANZ’s home loans and Institutional banking portfolios, partially offset by the sale of Asia
Retail and Wealth businesses.
• Other operating income decreased $241 million (-5%) largely as a result of a $318 million decrease in Markets income, a $89 million
increase in customer remediation charges, a $30 million reduction in lending fee income, and the $114 million gain on the sale of Queen
street recognised in the September 2017 financial year. This was partially offset by a $335 million impact from divestments.
• Operating expenses increased $281 million (3%) primarily due to an accelerated software amortisation charge ($251 million), higher
restructuring ($165 million) and customer remediation ($108 million), Royal Commission legal costs ($55 million), higher technology and
consulting fees associated with investment in digital and data capabilities, and inflation. This was partially offset by lower personnel costs
due to a reduction in incentives and a 9% reduction in average FTE.
• Credit impairment charges decreased $511 million (-43%) largely due to lower individual credit impairment charges.

Description
The 2018 financial year included the gain on sale upon completion of the Asia Retail and
Wealth businesses and MCC, and the loss on sale from SRCB. The Group recognised a loss
on reclassification of assets and liabilities to held for sale for Cambodia JV, OPL NZ, and PNG
Retail, Commercial and SME. In addition, a net cost recovery for UDC was recognised in
respect of the terminated transaction process. The 2017 financial year included the loss on
reclassification of Asia Retail and Wealth businesses to held for sale.
The 2018 financial year included the divested business results of the Asia Retail and Wealth
businesses and a dividend received from MCC. The 2017 financial year comprised the
divested business results of the Asia Retail and Wealth businesses, and equity accounted
earnings for SRCB and MCC.
Customer remediation for refunds to customers and related remediation costs primarily
related to product reviews in the Australia division.
Accelerated amortisation charge of certain software assets in the 2018 financial year,
predominantly relating to the Institutional division due to a reassessment of useful lives
following a review of the International business.
External legal costs associated with responding to the Royal Commission in the 2018
financial year.
Restructuring to re-shape our workforce and simplify our business, largely relating to the
move of the Australia and Technology divisions to agile ways of working.
Gain on Sale of 100 Queen Street, Melbourne
Gain on sale of our premises at 100 Queen Street, Melbourne in the 2017 financial year.

The individual credit impairment charge decreased by $568 million (-42%) due to a $626 million (-30%) decrease in new and increased individual
credit impairment charges primarily in the Institutional and New Zealand divisions. The Australia division experienced lower provisions on new
impairments in Business & Private Bank, combined with higher recoveries and write-backs in the unsecured Retail portfolios. Asia Retail & Pacific
division decreased $129 million (-78%) due to the sale of the Asia Retail and Wealth businesses.
The reduction in the collective credit impairment release of $57 million (-40%) was primarily driven by reduced risk profile releases across all
divisions. The collective credit impairment releases for lending growth reduced reflecting growth in the Institutional and New Zealand divisions.
The economic cycle adjustment charge was $25 million for the year, with increased economic cycle adjustments in the Australia division, partially
offset by the part release of economic cycle adjustments in the New Zealand and Institutional divisions.
Gross impaired assets decreased $371 million (-16%) primarily driven by repayments and upgrades in the Institutional division (-$315 million),
repayments in the New Zealand division (-$71 million) and a reduction in the Asia Retail & Pacific division (-$90 million) following the sale of
the Asia Retail and Wealth businesses. This was offset by an increase in the Australia division ($105 million) primarily driven by a single name
restructured loan. The Group’s individual provision coverage ratio on impaired assets was 45.7% at 30 September 2018 (Sep 17: 47.7%).

DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS1
Australia
Lending volumes grew primarily in owner occupier and principal and interest home loans. Customer deposits grew mainly in small
business banking and home loans (offset accounts). Net interest margin decreased as a result of home loan mix changes, customer
remediation, and the introduction of the major bank levy from July 2017. This was partially offset by higher deposit margins due to
re-pricing. Other operating income decreased as the result of customer remediation and lower lending fee income. Operating expenses
increased due to higher customer remediation costs, an accelerated software amortisation charge, restructuring, and inflation. This was
partially offset by a reduction in FTE related costs. Credit impairment charges decreased as a result of lower delinquency and higher
write-backs and recoveries in cards and personal loans, lower new provisions in business banking, partially offset by a net increase in
economic cycle adjustments.
Institutional
Lending volumes grew across all portfolios. Customer deposits grew in Markets and Transaction Banking. Net interest margin decreased
largely due to the introduction of the major bank levy from July 2017, and growth in Markets liquid assets. Other operating income decreased
due to lower Markets Franchise Trading income as a result of less favourable trading conditions in the 2018 financial year, and large positive
derivative valuation adjustments recognised in the 2017 financial year. Operating expenses increased due to an accelerated software
amortisation charge, restructuring, and inflation. This was partially offset by a reduction in FTE as the result of ongoing transformation activities
and lower non-lending losses. Credit impairment charges decreased due to ongoing portfolio rebalancing and a benign credit environment.
New Zealand
Volumes grew in home loans and funds under management. Customer deposits grew across all portfolios. Net interest margin increased
due to higher lending margins, partly offset by portfolio mix changes and lower deposit margins. Other operating income increased
primarily due to a one-off insurance recovery in the 2018 financial year, partially offset by customer fee reductions. Net funds management
and insurance income increased due to higher funds under management. Operating expenses increased due to customer remediation,
increased business investment in digital capability, and inflation. This was partially offset by a reduction in FTE driven by customer
migration to lower cost channels. Credit impairment charges decreased due to credit quality improvements across Retail and Commercial
and Agri portfolios, and the release of the Agri economic cycle adjustment.
Wealth Australia
Income decreased as the result of higher customer remediation, and lower new business volumes in ANZ Financial Planning. Operating
expenses decreased due to lower discretionary expenses, partially offset by higher customer remediation charges.
Asia Retail & Pacific
Asia Retail and Pacific divisional results were impacted by the sale completion of Retail and Wealth businesses in Singapore, Hong Kong,
China, Taiwan and Indonesia to Singapore’s DBS Bank, and its Retail business in Vietnam to Shinhan Bank Vietnam. The Pacific business
experienced lower operating income as the result of lending reductions due to portfolio rebalancing, and lower costs as the result of
simplifying the business. Credit impairment charges benefited from improved credit quality and higher collections and recoveries.
TSO and Group Centre
TSO and Group Centre divisional results for the 2017 and 2018 financial year were impacted by a number of large/notable items. In the
2018 financial year, this included the gain on sale of MCC, loss on sale of SRCB, the loss on reclassification of assets and liabilities to held for
sale for Cambodia JV, OPL NZ, and PNG Retail, Commercial and SME, Royal Commission legal costs, and higher restructuring. In the 2017
financial year, the Group recognised the gain on sale of 100 Queen Street, Melbourne and the divested business results for SRCB and MCC.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As a result of the sales outlined below, the financial results of the Wealth Australia businesses being divested and associated Group reclassification
and consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective. These businesses qualify as discontinued
operations, a subset of assets and liabilities held for sale, as they represent a major line of business.
The comparative Group Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income have been restated to show discontinued operations
separately from continuing operations in a separate line item ‘Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations’. This impacts the current and comparative
financial information for Wealth Australia and TSO and Group Centre divisions.
• Sale to IOOF Holdings Limited (IOOF)
On 17 October 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its OnePath pensions and investments (OnePath P&I) and aligned dealer
groups (ADG) businesses to IOOF. The aligned dealer groups business consists of aligned advice businesses that operate under their own
Australian Financial Services licences. The sale of the aligned dealer groups business completed on 1 October 2018. The completion of the
remaining OnePath pensions and investment business is planned to occur after the successful completion of the successor fund transfer,
which is expected to occur in the first half of the 2019 financial year.
• Sale to Zurich Financial Services Australia (Zurich)
On 12 December 2017, ANZ announced that it had agreed to the sale of its life insurance business to Zurich and regulatory approval was
obtained on 10 October 2018. The transaction is subject to closing conditions and ANZ expects it to complete in the first half of the 2019
financial year.
Included in the 2018 ‘Loss from discontinued operations’ is:
• A $632 million loss (pre and post-tax) recognised on the reclassification of Wealth Australia businesses to held for sale; and
• Customer remediation of $181 million ($127 million post-tax) for refunds to customers and related remediation costs. These items primarily
relate to compensation to customers for receiving inappropriate advice or services not provided within the Group’s former aligned
dealer groups.
Continuing operations includes the retained Wealth Australia division, which is made up of lenders mortgage insurance, share investing, financial
planning and general insurance distribution.
EXPLANATION OF ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN STATUTORY PROFIT AND CASH PROFIT - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
• Treasury shares adjustment
ANZ shares held by the Group in Wealth Australia (Sep 18: 15.5 million shares; Sep 17: 15.4 million shares) 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 as 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 are held to support policy liabilities which are revalued through
the Income Statement.
• Revaluation 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 in each period being reflected in the Income Statement. ANZ
includes the impact on the re-measurement of the insurance contract attributable to changes in market discount rates as an adjustment
to statutory profit to remove the volatility attributable to changes in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of the
insurance contract.

• Cash / Settlement balances owed to/by ANZ / Collateral paid/received increased $13.0 billion (19%) primarily driven by higher liquid asset
holdings in Markets, increases in collateral paid, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements.
• Derivative financial assets and liabilities increased $5.9 billion (9%) and $7.4 billion (12%) respectively as foreign exchange rate and interest
rate movements resulted in higher derivative fair values.
• Net loans and advances increased $29.6 billion (5%) primarily driven by growth in home loans across the Australia and New Zealand
divisions (+$10.9 billion), lending growth in the Institutional division (+$12.9 billion), UDC net loans and advances no longer being
classified as held for sale (+$3.0 billion) and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements.
• Assets and liabilities held for sale increased $37.2 billion and $42.5 billion respectively, primarily driven by the reclassification of Wealth
Australia businesses and other smaller divestments to held for sale, partially offset by the sale completion of the Asia Retail and Wealth
businesses, and UDC no longer being classified as held for sale.
• Deposits and other borrowings increased $22.6 billion (4%) primarily driven by growth in customer deposits across Institutional, New
Zealand and Australia divisions (+$9.3 billion), and a $11.4 billion increase in deposits from banks and repurchase agreements, and the
impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. This was partially offset by a reduction of $12.7 billion in certificates of deposit.
• Debt issuances increased $13.2 billion (12%) primarily driven by senior debt issuances and the impact of foreign currency exchange
rate movements.

The Group holds a portfolio of high quality unencumbered liquid assets in order to protect the Group’s liquidity position in a severely stressed
environment, as well as to meet regulatory requirements. High Quality Liquid Assets comprise three categories, with the definitions consistent
with Basel 3 LCR:
• Highest-quality liquid assets (HQLA1): Cash, highest credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for
repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
• High-quality liquid assets (HQLA2): High credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate debt
securities and high quality covered bonds eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
• Alternative liquid assets (ALA): Assets qualifying as collateral for the Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) and other eligible securities listed by
the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).
The Group monitors and manages the size and composition of its liquid asset portfolio on an ongoing basis in line with regulatory requirements
and the risk appetite set by the Board.

APRA, under the authority of the Banking Act 1959, sets minimum regulatory requirements for banks including what is acceptable as capital and
provides methods of measuring the risks incurred by the Bank.
The Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio increased to 11.4% based on APRA Basel 3 standards, exceeding APRA’s minimum requirements.
This increase was driven by cash earnings and divestments, outweighing the impact of dividends and share buybacks during the year.
DIVIDENDS
This performance allowed us to propose that a final dividend of 80 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share, bringing the total
dividend for the year ended 30 September 2018 to $1.60 per share. This represents a dividend payout ratio (total Group cash basis) of 79.5%.
The proposed 2018 final dividend will be fully franked for Australian taxation purposes, and New Zealand (NZ) imputation credits of NZ 10 cents per
ordinary share will also be attached. It will be paid on 18 December 2018 to owners of ordinary shares at close of business on 13 November 2018
(record date).
ANZ has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the proposed 2018 final dividend. For the
2018 final dividend, ANZ intends to provide shares under the DRP through an on-market purchase and BOP through the issue of new shares.
Further details on dividends provided for or paid during the year ended 30 September 2018 are set out in Note 5 in the Financial Report.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 3737
OUR APPROACH
TO RISK
MANAGEMENT
The success of the Group’s strategy is underpinned by our sound management of
the Group’s risks. All of the Group’s activities involve — to varying degrees — the
analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of risks or combinations of risks.
The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing the Group’s Risk Management Framework. The Board has
delegated authority to the Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with the Group’s risk
management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities.
The key pillars of the Group’s Risk Management Framework include:
• the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which clearly and concisely sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of
risk that the Group is prepared to accept in pursuing its strategic objectives and its business plan; and
• the Risk Management Statement (RMS), which describes the Group’s strategy for managing risks and a summary of the
key elements of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) that give effect to that strategy. The RMS includes: a description
of each material risk; and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference to the relevant policies,
standards and procedures. It also includes information on how the Group identifies, measures, evaluates, monitors,
reports and then either controls or mitigates material risks.
The material risks facing the group per the Group’s RMS, and how these risks are managed are summarised below:
Managing the Risk
We pursue an active approach to Capital Management through ongoing review,
and Board approval, of the level and composition of our capital base against key
policy objectives.
Key features of how we manage Compliance Risk as part of our Operational Risk
framework include:
• centralised management of key obligations, and emphasis on identifying
changes in regulations and the business environment, so as to enable us to
proactively assess emerging compliance risks and implement robust reporting
and certification processes.
• recognition of incident management as a separate element to enhance ANZ’s
ability to identify, manage and report on incidents/breaches in a timely manner.
• the Whistleblower Protection Policy allowing employees and contractors to make
confidential, anonymous submissions regarding concerns relating to accounting,
internal control, compliance, audit and other matters.
Our Credit Risk framework is top down, being defined by credit principles and
policies. Credit policies, requirements and procedures cover all aspects of the
credit life cycle — for example: transaction structuring, risk grading, initial approval,
ongoing management and problem debt management, as well as specialist
policy topics.
Key Material Risks
Risk Type
Description
Capital
Adequacy
Risk
Compliance
Risk
The risk of loss arising from the Group failing
to maintain the level of capital required
by prudential regulators and other key
stakeholders (shareholders, debt investors,
depositors, rating agencies, etc.) to support
ANZ’s consolidated operations and risk appetite.
The risk of 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.
Credit
Risk
The risk of financial loss resulting from:
• a counterparty failing to fulfil its
obligations; or
• a decrease in credit quality of a
counterparty resulting in a financial loss.
Credit Risk incorporates the risks associated
with us lending to customers who could be
impacted by climate change or by changes
to laws, regulations, or other policies adopted
by governments or regulatory authorities,
including carbon pricing and climate change
adaptation or mitigation policies.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Risk Type
Description
Managing the Risk
Insurance
Risk
The risk of unexpected losses resulting from
worse than expected claims experience,
including any of the following that expose
an insurer to financial loss: inadequate
or inappropriate underwriting, claims
management, reserving, insurance
concentrations, reinsurance management,
product design and pricing.
We manage Insurance Risk primarily by:
• product design to price all applicable risks into contracts;
• reinsurance to reduce liability for large individual risks;
• underwriting to price, or reserve, for the level of risk associated with an individual contract;
• claims management to admit and pay genuine claims;
• insurance experience reviews to update assumptions; and
• portfolio management to maintain a diversity of individual risks.
Liquidity
and
Funding
Risk
The risk that the Group is unable to meet
its payment obligations as they fall due,
including:
• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale
Market
Risk
Operational
Risk
debt; or
• the Group having insufficient capacity to
fund increases in assets.
The risk to the Group’s earnings arising from:
• changes in any interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility,
and correlations; or
• from fluctuations in bond, commodity or
equity prices.
The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with
laws resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and/or systems,
or from external events. This definition
includes legal risk, and the risk of reputation
loss, or damage arising from inadequate
or failed internal processes, people and/or
systems, but excludes Strategic Risk.
Reinsurance
Risk
The risk that a reinsurer fails to meet its
contractual obligations, that is, to pay us
reinsurance claims when due, which in turn
creates a counterparty credit risk.
Reputation
Risk
The risk of loss that directly or indirectly
impacts earnings, capital adequacy or value,
that is caused by:
• adverse perceptions of the Group held
by any of customers, the community,
shareholders, investors, regulators, or
rating agencies;
• conduct risk associated with the Group’s
employees or contractors (or both); or
• the social or environmental (or both) impacts
of our lending decisions.
The risk that the Group’s business strategy
and strategic objectives may lead to an
increase in other key Material Risks — for
example: Credit Risk, Market Risk and
Operational Risk.
The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with
laws resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and/or systems or
from external events impacting on IT assets,
including the compromise of an IT asset’s
confidentiality, integrity or availability.
Strategic
Risk
Technology
Risk
Key principles in managing our Liquidity and Funding Risk include:
• maintaining our ability to meet liquidity ‘survival horizons’ under a range of stress
scenarios to meet cash flow obligations over a short to medium term horizon;
• maintaining a strong structural funding profile; and
• maintaining a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets to act as a source of liquidity
in times of stress.
Our risk management and control framework for Market Risk involves us quantifying
the magnitude of market risk within the trading and balance sheet portfolios through
independent risk measurement. First, we identify the range of possible outcomes, the
likely timeframe, and the likelihood of the outcome occurring. Then we allocate an
appropriate amount of capital to support these activities.
We operate a three-lines-of-defence model to manage Operational Risk, with
each Line of Defence having defined roles, responsibilities and escalation paths to
support effective communication and effective management of our Operational
Risk. Also, we have ongoing review mechanisms to ensure our Operational Risk
framework continues to meet organisational needs and regulatory requirements.
We manage Reinsurance Risk by:
• measuring our counterparties’ probability of default; and
• then restricting our counterparty exposures on the basis of financial strength
and concentration.
We manage Reputation Risk by maintaining a positive and dynamic culture that:
• ensures we act with integrity; and
• enables us to build strong and trusted relationships with customers and clients,
with colleagues, and with the broader society.
We have well established decision-making frameworks and policies to ensure our
business decisions are guided by sound social and environmental standards that take
into account Reputation Risk.
We consider and manage Strategic Risks through our annual strategic planning
process, managed by the Executive Committee and approved by the Board.
Any increase to our key Material Risks is managed in accordance with the risk
management practices specified above.
Consistent with the management of Operational Risk, we operate a
three-lines-of-defence model to manage Technology Risk, with each Line of Defence
having defined roles, responsibilities and escalation paths to support effective
communication and effective management of our Technology Risk. We also have
ongoing review mechanisms to ensure our Operational Risk framework, which is
also used to manage Technology Risk, continues to meet organisational needs and
regulatory requirements.

REMUNERATION
REPORT
Dear Shareholder,
2018 Remuneration Report – audited
This has been a difficult year for ANZ and our industry.
While we recorded a solid financial result, particularly in our
Institutional and New Zealand businesses, the Board acknowledges
the significant community concern as a result of our failures
highlighted in the Royal Commission.
Given this has impacted our corporate reputation and economic
profit, variable remuneration at all levels of ANZ has been materially
reduced from the prior year.
It is important that accountability for these failures is reflected in the
remuneration of our most senior team even though most are new to
their roles and many are new to ANZ:
• All Disclosed Executives (including our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO)) achieved outcomes below their target.
• Variable remuneration outcomes for our CEO and current
Disclosed Executives averaged 78% of target overall (53% of
maximum opportunity), with substantial differentiation at an
individual level ranging from 60% to 91%.
• We have re-set the salaries with each new appointment to the
Executive team. The total statutory remuneration of the CEO and
Disclosed Executives in 2018 is down almost 40% when compared
to 2015.
The ANZ Incentive Plan (ANZIP), which is the variable remuneration
plan for the majority of our people, including the CEO and all
Disclosed Executives, has been reduced by $124 million from
last year.
The performance rights awarded in November 2014 were tested
in November 2017, but as the relative Total Shareholder Return
performance hurdles were not met these performance rights
lapsed and executives received no value from this award.
While the Non-Executive Directors do not receive variable
remuneration, the Board accepts that it is appropriate that they too
share some accountability for these failures. As a consequence, the
Non-Executive Directors, who have served on the Board in financial
year (FY) 18, have agreed to a 20% reduction of their fee for FY19
(20% reduction to the Chairman fee from $825,000 to $660,000, and
20% reduction to the NED member fee from $240,000 to $192,000).
Given that many of the issues, that led to the large/notable items
that have impacted performance this year, pre-date many of
the members of the existing management team, the Board has
exercised its discretion to apply downwards adjustment to the
unvested deferred remuneration held by previous members of the
management team.
Moving forward
Commissioner Hayne has rightly raised questions about how the
industry rewards its people and we await his final recommendations.
Remuneration at ANZ has evolved significantly over recent years
in accordance with our reward principles as set out in this report.
However we also know we have more to do. We are currently
undertaking a company-wide review of how we reward our
workforce with the objective to reward people in a way that supports
our strategy, purpose and culture, improves the services we provide
our customers, supports employee engagement and delivers value
to shareholders.
On behalf of the Board, I invite you to consider our Remuneration
Report which will be presented to shareholders for adoption at the
2018 Annual General Meeting in Perth.

Providing greater transparency around remuneration to improve employee understanding
4. COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
4.1 REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
There are two core components of remuneration at ANZ – fixed remuneration and at risk variable remuneration.
In structuring remuneration, the Board aims to find the right balance between:
• fixed remuneration and at risk variable remuneration;
• cash and deferred equity; and
• short, medium, and long-term rewards.
The CEO’s variable remuneration framework is slightly different to that of the Disclosed Executives, as follows:
• CEO We reward the CEO Variable Remuneration (VR) comprising Annual Variable Remuneration (AVR) and Long Term Variable Remuneration
(LTVR). This is in accordance with his employment contract (as disclosed to the market at the time of his appointment) and is consistent with
external market practice. LTVR reinforces the CEO’s focus on achieving longer term strategic objectives and creating long-term value for all
stakeholders.
The Human Resources (HR) Committee and the Board determine the CEO’s VR outcome (AVR and LTVR) and the LTVR outcome is also
subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting.
• AVR outcome: half of this is delivered as ANZ shares (deferred evenly over one to four years); and
• LTVR outcome: all of this is delivered as performance rights and the 2018 award will be effectively deferred for four years
(three year deferral plus a further one year restriction period).
• Disclosed Executives We reward the Disclosed Executives under a single VR framework. This approach enables us to:
• provide the appropriate mix of short and long-term rewards (including performance hurdles) to drive performance, and
attract and retain talent;
• tie the full VR award to the performance of ANZ; and
• defer VR over the short, medium and longer term (with shares deferred evenly over four years and the performance rights
tested against their hurdles after three years).
The HR Committee and the Board determines the VR outcome for each Disclosed Executive. The delivery of VR to Disclosed
Executives in relation to the deferral periods and performance hurdles is aligned to that of the CEO.
The Board can, on the basis of each executive’s performance, adjust the executive’s variable remuneration down, potentially to zero.
We structure the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ remuneration based on the following target remuneration mix. The CEO and Disclosed
Executives may be awarded amounts above or below the target for variable remuneration.

3. The CRO’s remuneration arrangements are structured differently to preserve the independence of this role and to minimise any conflicts of interest in carrying out the risk control
function across ANZ. The CRO’s target remuneration has a slightly different mix: fixed remuneration (37%) and VR (63%). VR is delivered as 33% cash, 33% deferred shares and 34%
deferred share rights (instead of performance rights). The CRO has a VR target of 170% of fixed remuneration and a maximum opportunity of 150% of target.
By deferring a significant portion of an executive’s remuneration, we ensure that their variable remuneration:
• is linked to performance;
• has significant retention elements;
• aligns their interests with shareholders to deliver on ANZ’s strategic objectives; and
• can be adjusted downwards, including to zero (if appropriate), allowing the Board to hold executives accountable.
4.2 FIXED REMUNERATION
We express fixed remuneration as a total dollar amount which is delivered as cash salary and superannuation contributions. The Board sets
(and reviews annually) the CEO’s and Disclosed Executives’ fixed remuneration based on financial services market relativities reflecting their
responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience and location. In addition, for new appointments we continue to set fixed remuneration
lower than that of the prior incumbent (following the trend established with the CEO appointment).
4.3 VARIABLE REMUNERATION
The ANZ Incentive Plan (ANZIP) is our main variable remuneration plan covering the majority of employees, including the CEO and Disclosed Executives.

4.3.1 HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE VARIABLE REMUNERATION POOL AT A GROUP LEVEL?
ANZIP variable remuneration pool based on performance
Managing risk appropriately is fundamental to the way ANZ operates and is therefore a key element of how we measure and assess
performance at a Group, Division and individual level.
When determining the size of the ANZIP variable remuneration pool the Board considers:
1. our economic profit performance – a risk adjusted financial measure;
2. our performance against the Group Performance Framework (Risk, Financial and Discipline, Customer, and People and Reputation
performance indicators) that were agreed by the Board at the start of the financial year; and
3. other factors such as the overall operating environment, affordability and the quality of our results.
The Board exercise their judgement to determine the appropriate size of the variable remuneration pool each year – it is not a formulaic outcome.
44
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 4. COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION (continued)
The ANZ Group Performance Framework is designed around three key inputs:
• Creating a safe bank with sound risk practices;
• Achieving our agreed annual and longer term goals; and
• Realising our strategic vision.
Performance indicators are set by the Board at the start of each year under the categories of:
• Risk – separate measure which can adjust the overall performance assessment;
• Financial and Discipline, 50% weighting;
• Customer, 25% weighting; and
• People and Reputation, 25% weighting.
The indicators within each category encourage our people to focus on both annual priorities and on broader long-term
strategies to deliver great outcomes for our customers and shareholder value.
The performance indicators are designed to be stretching, yet achievable. They are approved by the Board at the start of
each year and are set considering prior year performance, industry standards and ANZ’s strategic objectives. They may
reflect targets set for the current year and also longer term strategic goals. As the specific targets and features relating to
many of these indicators are commercially sensitive, we have not provided them in detail.
4.3.2 HOW DO WE DETERMINE VARIABLE REMUNERATION AT AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL?
Variable remuneration is designed to focus our CEO and Disclosed Executives on key performance measures supporting our business strategy,
and encourage the delivery of long term value for shareholders.
Performance objectives set
• Individual objectives are agreed for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, using a balanced scorecard
approach under the four categories of (i) Risk, (ii) Financial and Discipline, (iii) Customer, and (iv)
People and Reputation.
Start
• The weighting of measures varies to reflect the responsibilities of each individual’s role.
ANZ
financial
year
End
• Many of these measures relate to the contribution towards medium to longer term performance
outcomes aligned to ANZ’s strategic objectives.
• This methodology is replicated across ANZ for all employees reflecting the individual’s responsibilities.
Performance assessed against objectives
• The performance of the CEO and each Disclosed Executive is assessed against their objectives,
ANZ’s Values (behaviours) and ANZ’s risk and compliance standards.
• The HR Committee seeks input from the CEO, CRO (on risk management), CFO (on financial
performance), Group Executive, Talent and Culture (GE T&C) (on talent and culture matters) and
Group General Manager Internal Audit (on internal audit matters).
• The HR Committee reviews (and the Board reviews and approves) the performance outcomes for
the CEO and each Disclosed Executive.
Determination of remuneration outcomes
• The HR Committee (with input from the Risk and Audit Committees) considers the performance of
the Group, Division and individual to determine remuneration recommendations for the CEO and
Disclosed Executives.
• Where the CEO and Disclosed Executives deliver on target performance at a Group, business and
individual level (taking into consideration ANZ Values (behaviours) and risk/compliance standards),
then variable remuneration recommendations are likely to be around the target opportunity.
Recommendations will be adjusted up or down in line with performance.
• The HR Committee’s recommendations are then reviewed and ultimately approved by the Board.

4.3.3 HOW IS VARIABLE REMUNERATION DELIVERED?
As the table below shows, variable remuneration is delivered partly in cash, partly in shares deferred evenly over four years, and partly in
performance rights. The performance rights are subject to performance hurdles which determine whether they vest in three years’ time. The
CEO’s 2018 performance rights are also subject to a 12 month restriction period post vesting.

Cash
The cash component is paid to executives at the end of the annual Performance and Remuneration Review (usually in late November).
Deferred shares
Deferred shares are ordinary shares and are deferred evenly over one to four years. By deferring part of an executives’ remuneration over time
(and it remaining subject to downward adjustment), we enable a substantial amount of their remuneration to be directly linked to delivering
long-term shareholder value. We grant deferred shares in respect of the 1 October to 30 September performance period in late November
each year.
We calculate the number of deferred shares to be granted based on the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the shares traded on the ASX
in the week leading up to and including the date of grant. For disclosure and expensing purposes, we use the one day VWAP to determine the
fair value.
In some cases (generally due to regulatory or tax reasons), we may grant deferred share rights to executives instead of deferred shares. Each
deferred share right entitles the holder to one ordinary share.
Performance rights – CEO (LTVR) and Disclosed Executives (VR) excluding the CRO
What is a
performance
right?
A performance right is a right to acquire one ordinary ANZ share at nil cost – as long as time and performance
hurdles are met.
The future value of performance rights may range from zero to an indeterminate value. The value depends on our
performance against the hurdles and on the share price at the time of exercise.
What is the
performance period?
Performance rights have a three year performance period. For the 2018 grant (to be granted in November/
December 2018), the performance period is from 22 November 2018 to 21 November 2021.
What is the restriction
period that applies to
the CEO?
We use a three year performance period as it: aligns to our business planning cycle, provides sufficient time for
longer term performance to be reflected, while balancing a reasonable timeframe for executives to find the award
meaningful and motivating.
The performance rights granted to the CEO in December 2018 will also be subject to a 12 month restriction period.
This means they are effectively deferred for four years (three year deferral period and one year restriction period).
The CEO’s performance rights which meet the performance hurdle will be converted to shares at the third
anniversary of grant. They are then restricted for 12 months (to the fourth anniversary of grant) and remain subject
to downward adjustment. The CEO is unable to trade the shares during this period. Dividends on any vested shares
will be payable to the CEO during the restriction period.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
4. COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION (continued)
Performance rights — CEO (LTVR) and Disclosed Executives (VR) excluding the CRO
What are the
performance
hurdles and why?
The Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdles reflect the importance of focusing on achieving longer
term strategic objectives and aligning executives’ and shareholders’ interests.
We will apply two TSR performance hurdles for the 2018 grants of performance rights (as we did in 2017):
• 75% will be measured against a relative TSR hurdle, tranche 1;
• 25% will be measured against an absolute TSR hurdle, tranche 2.
TSR represents the change in value of a share plus the value of reinvested dividends paid. We regard it as the most
appropriate long-term measure – it focuses on the delivery of shareholder value and is a well understood and
tested mechanism to measure performance.
The combination of relative and absolute TSR hurdles provides balance to the plan by:
• Relative: rewarding executives for performance that exceeds that of peer companies; and
• Absolute: ensuring there is a continued focus on providing positive growth – even when the market is
declining.
The two hurdles measure separate aspects of performance:
• the relative TSR hurdle measures our TSR compared to that of the Select Financial Services comparator
group, made up of core local and global competitors. This comparator group is chosen to broadly reflect the
geographies and business segments in which ANZ competes for revenue; and
• the absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) TSR hurdle provides executives with a more direct line
of sight to the level of shareholder return to be achieved. It also provides a tighter correlation between the
executives’ rewards and the shareholders’ financial outcomes.
We will measure ANZ’s TSR against each hurdle at the end of the three year performance period to determine
whether each tranche of performance rights become exercisable. We measure each tranche independently from
the other – that is: one tranche may vest fully or partially but the other tranche may not vest.
Relative TSR is an external hurdle that measures our TSR against that of the Select Financial Services comparator
group over three years.
The Select Financial Services comparator group is made up of: Bank of Queensland Limited; Bendigo and Adelaide
Bank Limited; Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited; DBS Bank Limited; Macquarie Group Limited; National
Australia Bank Limited; Standard Chartered PLC; Suncorp Group Limited; and Westpac Banking Corporation.

TSR of the comparator group
then the percentage of
performance rights that vest
is less than the 50th percentile

the 2018 grant?
(Also see ANZ TSR
performance in section
5.2 and hurdle outcomes
in section 5.5)
What is the absolute TSR
performance hurdle for
the 2018 grant?
Absolute CAGR TSR is an internal hurdle as to whether ANZ achieves or exceeds a threshold level of growth the
Board sets at the start of the performance period.
The HR Committee recommends the absolute TSR targets for that year’s award to the Board for approval. When
recommending the targets, the Committee considers factors including: the risk free bond rate; historical volatility
of ANZ’s share price relative to the market; and the market risk premium.

REMUNERATION REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
4. COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION (continued)
Performance rights — CEO (LTVR) and Disclosed Executives (VR) excluding the CRO
How do we calculate
TSR performance?
When calculating performance against TSR, we:
• reduce the impact of share price volatility – by using an averaging calculation over a 90 day period for start
and end values;
• ensure an independent measurement – by engaging the services of an external organisation, Mercer
Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd, to calculate ANZ’s performance against the TSR hurdles; and
• test the performance against the relevant hurdle once only at the end of the three year performance period –
the rights lapse if the performance hurdle is not met.
How do we calculate
the number of
performance rights?
The number of performance rights we grant is calculated using a face value basis – i.e. the full share price. Face
value at full (100%) vesting is split into two tranches. Each tranche value is then divided by the market price (five
trading day VWAP of ANZ shares at the start of the performance period) to determine the number of performance
rights we award in each tranche.
Performance rights are allocated in November for Disclosed Executives and December for the CEO (subject to
shareholder approval).
How do we expense
performance rights?
ANZ engages an external expert to independently determine the fair value of performance rights, which is only
used for expensing purposes.
They consider factors including: the performance conditions; share price volatility; life of the instrument; dividend
yield; and share price at grant date.
Deferred share rights for the CRO
The CRO receives deferred share rights instead of performance rights to preserve the independence of the role and to minimise any conflicts
of interest in carrying out the risk control function across the organisation.
The CRO’s deferred share rights are subject to a time-based vesting hurdle of three years. The value the Board uses to determine the number of
deferred share rights to be allocated to the CRO is the face value of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX at the time of grant adjusted for
the loss of dividends over the three year deferral period.
4.3.4 DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT OF DEFERRED REMUNERATION – BOARD DISCRETION
Any deferred remuneration we award is subject to the Board’s on-going discretion to reduce (including to zero) deferred/retained
remuneration. This discretion may be exercised, for example, where the Board considers this is necessary to protect the financial soundness of
ANZ, to meet unexpected or unknown regulatory requirements or if the Board subsequently considers that the grant was not justified.
Further, if the CEO and/or Disclosed Executives have failed to comply with their accountability obligations under the Banking Executive
Accountability Regime (BEAR), their deferred remuneration will be reduced by an amount that is proportionate to the failure, as required by BEAR.
Accordingly, before any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether any downward adjustment (or deferral of
vesting for a further period or periods) should be made.
No downward adjustment was applied to the deferred remuneration of the CEO and Disclosed Executives during 2018.
However, given that many of the issues, that led to the large/notable items that have impacted performance this year, pre-date many of the
members of the existing management team, the Board has exercised its discretion to apply downwards adjustment to the unvested deferred
remuneration held by previous members of the management team.
5. 2018 OUTCOMES
5.1 ANZIP VARIABLE REMUNERATION POOL
At the end of each financial year the HR Committee (with input from the Risk and Audit Committees) determines the size of the ANZIP variable
remuneration pool for that year and makes a recommendation to the Board for their approval.
When determining the size of the 2018 variable remuneration pool the HR Committee:
• considered the pool size generated based on a percentage of the economic profit for the year (which was down on prior year reflecting
large/notable items including announced divestments, customer remediation, accelerated software amortisation, Royal Commission legal
costs and restructuring charges);
• reviewed outcomes achieved against the Group Performance Framework, which was set at the start of the year. This was assessed overall as
below target (as detailed in section 5.2); and
• considered all other relevant factors (such as operating environment, affordability, and quality of the result).
48
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 5. 2018 OUTCOMES (continued)
The matters raised in ANZ’s submission to the Royal Commission, including their significant reputational impact, were specifically taken into
account in the overall assessment of Group performance and when determining the size of the 2018 variable remuneration pool.
Taking all of this into account the Board decided that the 2018 ANZIP variable remuneration pool would be materially reduced. The pool is
down by $124 million from the prior year and accordingly the variable remuneration outcomes for all executives (and employees) have been
materially reduced.

This performance framework reflects both annual (Run the Bank Well) and longer term (Strategic) performance indicators across Risk, Financial

creating a safe bank with sound risk practices is reinforced by having the Risk assessment directly impact the overall assessment of the Group’s
performance (i.e. a multiplier effect).
The table below provides an overview of some of the indicative measures used to inform the overall assessment for each of the key

Overall assessment: On Target
Key risk, control, governance and compliance metrics were met despite a challenging external and regulatory environment. This includes
strong risk foundations being put in place in line with our objectives to:
a. Manage the bank well and ensure our risk appetite, balance sheet, systems, processes and culture are strong, coherent and aligned
appropriately;
b. Operate safely within all regulatory limits at all times; and
c. Ensure ANZ’s products, services and processes are responsible and fair for customers.
There is strong leadership on the importance of Risk and Compliance and setting the right culture, as well as a heavy emphasis on
maintaining high ethical standards, acting fairly and with integrity. ANZ is focused on making it easier, safer and important for our people
to raise issues and concerns. 2018 saw the lowest credit provisions in more than 20 years with a loss rate of 0.12%. While a benign credit
environment played a role, it must be recognised that management decisions, often at the expense of revenue, as well as a significant
reshaping of the portfolio, contributed to this outcome.

1. Cash profit from continuing operations has been presented for FY17 and FY18, prior periods are not restated.
The Group uses cash profit as a measure of performance for the Group’s ongoing business activities, as this provides a basis to assess Group
and Divisional performance against earlier periods and against peer institutions.
We calculate cash profit by adjusting statutory profit for non-core items. Although cash profit is not audited, the external auditor has informed
the Audit Committee that recurring adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.
The sizing of the ANZIP variable remuneration pool takes account of both cash profit and economic profit. Importantly, economic profit takes
into consideration credit losses across an economic cycle.
Cash profit from continuing operations represents the Group’s cash profit excluding the impact of our discontinued businesses which consists
of OnePath pensions and investments and aligned dealer groups and the Group’s life insurance business in Australia. The businesses were
reclassified to discontinuing in 2018, and only the 2017 result was restated in the table above.

Services (SFS) comparator group over one to ten years. ANZ’s TSR performance was above the median TSR of the SFS Comparator Group when

5.4 CEO'S AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES’ REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
At the start of each year, the Board sets stretching – yet achievable – performance objectives for the CEO and for each Disclosed Executive.
When executives deliver on target performance at a Group and individual level (taking into consideration ANZ Values (behaviours) and risk/
compliance standards), then their variable remuneration awards are likely to be around the target.
At year end, each executive’s performance is assessed against their objectives for the year and in light of their risk/compliance standards and
their demonstration of ANZ Values (behaviours). The CEO assesses the performance of the Disclosed Executives and makes recommendations
to the HR Committee. The HR Committee assesses the performance of the CEO. It then makes recommendations to the Board on both the
CEO and the Disclosed Executives’ performance and remuneration outcomes.
In 2018, the Board reviewed the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ fixed remuneration. The only change made in 2018 was an adjustment for
Alexis George on commencement in the expanded role of Deputy CEO and Group Executive, Wealth Australia.
The Board approved the CEO’s and the Disclosed Executives’ 2018 VR outcomes. In doing so, it considered the performance of the individual,
the business and overall Group performance, and the shareholder experience.
53
REMUNERATION REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
5. 2018 OUTCOMES (continued)
5.4 CEO'S AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES’ REMUNERATION OUTCOMES (continued)
CEO: The CEO’s VR for 2018 has been awarded at 75% of target, noting that this comprises both AVR and LTVR.
The 2018 AVR awarded to the CEO is 83% of target (56% of maximum), which reflects his performance against his objectives and the
overall performance of the Group. The proposed 2018 LTVR is 67% of target, and this reduction, in addition to the AVR reduction, further
acknowledges the conduct issues and reputational damage of the matters raised in the Royal Commission.
The proposed LTVR of $1.4 million/$2.8 million (performance rights face value at threshold/full vesting) is subject to shareholder approval at
the 2018 Annual General Meeting.
Disclosed Executives: The average 2018 VR for current Disclosed Executives is 78% of target (53% of maximum). This is significantly
below target and in line with the material reduction in the ANZIP variable remuneration pool. Every executive is below target and there
is significant differentiation at an individual level ranging between 60% to 91% of target. The different VR outcomes reflect the relative
performance of the different areas/individuals, demonstrate the 'at risk' nature of VR, and demonstrate a clear link between performance
and reward at both an ANZ and individual level for the 2018 financial year.
The VR awards will be paid/granted in November/December 2018. The majority of the VR award is deferred and remains subject to the Board’s
discretion to adjust this downwards at any time prior to vesting. In addition, whether the portion of 2018 VR delivered as performance rights
actually vests will be subject to ANZ’s TSR performance over a three year performance period, which is in line with our business planning cycle.
Year-on-year Remuneration awarded
This table shows a year-on-year comparison of remuneration awarded to the CEO and current Disclosed Executives for the 2017 and 2018
performance periods.
The year-on-year difference for Alexis George reflects her time as a KMP in 2017 and her adjustment in fixed remuneration in 2018.
For David Hisco, the year-on-year difference reflects differences in exchange rate when converting NZD to AUD.

2018 Variable Remuneration awarded
This table shows the VR awarded to the CEO and current Disclosed Executives for the year ending 30 September 2018, and what this
represents as a % of their target opportunity and maximum opportunity.
The average variable remuneration awarded to the CEO and current Disclosed Executives is 78% of target (53% of maximum), which
appropriately reflects ANZ’s overall performance and the impact to the overall ANZIP variable remuneration pool.
Only the cash component will be received this year. The deferred shares will vest evenly over four years. The performance rights may or may
not vest when tested against the performance hurdles in three years’ time.

1. VR for the CEO = AVR + LTVR (LTVR subject to shareholder approval at the 2018 Annual General Meeting).
2. % of max for the CEO = 150% of AVR target plus LTVR target (face value at threshold vesting). The maximum opportunity arrow for the CEO is not to scale, given there is no max for LTVR.
3. Remuneration disclosed from commencement in Disclosed Executive role, CRO receives deferred share rights instead of performance rights.
4. Multiply by two to convert to face value at full vesting for performance rights.
2018 Actual Remuneration received
This table shows the remuneration the CEO and current Disclosed Executives actually received in relation to the 2018 performance year as cash;
or in the case of prior equity awards, the value which vested in 2018. The final column also shows the value of prior equity awards which lapsed in
2018 (these awards reflect the 2014 performance rights which failed to meet the performance hurdles when tested in November 2017).
Only the cash component of the 2018 VR award appears in this table, as the other components are deferred and may/may not vest in future years.

1. The point in time value of previously deferred remuneration granted as shares/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 or lapsing/forfeiture multiplied by the number of shares/share rights and/or performance rights. The amount paid as deferred cash is the value disclosed. The
lapsed/forfeited values relate to the performance rights we awarded in November 2014 which lapsed due to the performance hurdles not being met.
2. Other deferred remuneration for M Carnegie relates to previously disclosed compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred remuneration forfeited.
3.
Remuneration disclosed from commencement in Disclosed Executive role (19 March 2018).
4. A George's fixed remuneration was adjusted in May 2018 when she commenced in the expanded role of Deputy CEO and Group Executive, Wealth Australia. As disclosed in 2017, in relation to
A George's role before her appointment to the Group Executive Committee, in July 2016 the Board approved a cash retention award of $500,000 with partial vesting in June 2017 ($250,000)
and December 2017 ($250,000).
5. Paid in NZD and converted to AUD.
6. Other deferred remuneration for M Jablko relates to previously disclosed compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred remuneration forfeited.

1. Cash salary includes any adjustments required to reflect the use of ANZ's Lifestyle Leave Policy.
2. Non monetary benefits generally consist of company-funded benefits (and the associated Fringe Benefits Tax) such as car parking, taxation services, costs met by the company in relation to
relocation, outplacement services and gifts received on leaving ANZ for former Disclosed Executives.
3. The total cash incentive relates to the cash component only. The relevant amortisation of the AVR/VR deferred components is included in share-based payments and has been amortised
over the vesting period. The total AVR/VR was approved by the Board on 24 October 2018. 100% of the cash component of the AVR/VR awarded for the 2017 and 2018 years vested to the
executive in the applicable financial year.
4. Other cash and other equity allocations relate to employment arrangements such as compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred remuneration forfeited, retention awards,
and shares received in relation to the Employee Share Offer. For further details, see the individual footnotes for each relevant executive.
5. For all Australian based executives, the 2018 and 2017 superannuation contributions reflect the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution based on the Maximum Contribution Base. In the
2017 Remuneration Report, superannuation contributions reflected the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution of 9.5% of cash salary – individuals may have elected to take this contribution
as superannuation or a combination of superannuation and cash salary. From 31 August 2018 D Hisco commenced superannuation contributions to KiwiSaver where ANZ provides an
employer contribution matching member contributions up to 4% of total gross pay (less employer superannuation contribution tax).
6. Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ before November 1992, D Hisco, G Hodges and N Williams were eligible to receive a Retirement Allowance on
retirement, retrenchment, death, or resignation for illness, incapacity or domestic reasons. The Retirement Allowance is calculated as three months of preserved notional salary (which is 65%
of fixed remuneration) plus an additional 3% of notional salary for each year of full-time service above 10 years less the total accrual value of long service leave (including taken and untaken).
7. As required by 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. 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 neither relates to, nor indicates, the benefit (if any) that the executive may ultimately realise if the equity become exercisable.
8. Termination benefits reflect payment for accrued annual leave, long service leave and the retirement allowance, payable on termination.

9. Other cash and other equity allocations for M Carnegie relate to previously disclosed compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred remuneration forfeited.
10. K Corbally commenced in a Disclosed Executive role on 19 March 2018. So his 2018 remuneration reflects partial service year. In relation to K Corbally's role before his appointment to the
Group Executive Committee, in August 2016 the Board approved an equity retention award of $600,000 vesting in August 2019.
11. A George commenced in a Disclosed Executive role on 1 December 2016. So her 2017 remuneration reflects partial service year. A George's fixed remuneration was adjusted in May 2018
when she commenced in the expanded role of Deputy CEO and Group Executive, Wealth Australia. As disclosed in 2017, in relation to A George's role before her appointment to the Group
Executive Committee, in July 2016 the Board approved a cash retention award of $500,000 with partial vesting in June 2017 ($250,000) and December 2017 ($250,000).
12. D Hisco's fixed remuneration is paid in NZD and converted to AUD. The year-on-year differences in cash salary, retirement benefit accrual and long service leave accrual relate to fluctuations
13.
in the exchange rate.
In 2016 D Hisco and F Ohlsson, and in 2018 D Hisco, were eligible to receive shares in relation to the Employee Share Offer. That offer provides a grant of ANZ shares in each financial year to
eligible employees subject to Board approval. See Note 31 Employee Share and Option Plans for further details on the Employee Share Offer.
14. Other cash and other equity allocations for M Jablko relate to previously disclosed compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred remuneration forfeited.
15. G Hodges concluded in his role 13 May 2018 and ceased employment 30 September 2018. Statutory remuneration table reflects his remuneration up to his date of termination (noting his
annual fixed remuneration for 2018 remained unchanged at $1.05 million). Share-based payments include expensing treatment on termination for unvested deferred remuneration (including
reversals for forfeiture on retirement). For 2018 G Hodges' VR is $800,000 of which $264,000 is delivered as cash and $264,000 is delivered as share rights deferred evenly over four years.
Performance rights will not be granted as they would have been forfeited on retirement.
16. N Williams concluded in his role 30 March 2018 and ceased employment 2 November 2018. Statutory remuneration table reflects 13 months of remuneration up to his date of termination
(noting his annual fixed remuneration for 2018 remained unchanged at $1.35 million). Share-based payments include expensing treatment on termination for unvested deferred
remuneration (including reversals for forfeiture on termination).

6. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (NED) REMUNERATION
The Board reviewed NED fees for 2018 and determined once again not to increase their fees (which remain unchanged from 2016).
While the NEDs do not receive variable remuneration, the Board accepts that it is appropriate that they too share some accountability for the
failures highlighted by the Royal Commission. As a consequence, the NEDs, who have served on the Board in FY18, have agreed to a 20%
reduction of their fee for FY19 (20% reduction to the Chairman fee from $825,000 to $660,000, and 20% reduction to the NED member fee
from $240,000 to $192,000).
NEDs receive a base 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 serving on a Board Committee.
In setting Board and Committee fees, the Board considers: general industry practice; best principles of corporate governance; the
responsibilities and risks attached to the NED role; the time commitment expected of NEDs on Group and Company matters; and fees paid to
NEDs of comparable companies.
ANZ compares NED fees to a comparator group of Australian listed companies with a similar 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
by NEDs.
To maintain NED independence and impartiality:
• NED fees are not linked to the performance of the Group; and
• NEDs are not eligible to participate in any of the Group’s variable remuneration arrangements.
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.
This table shows the NED fee policy structure for 2018:

2. Long-term benefits and share-based payments do not apply for the Non-Executive Directors. There were no non monetary benefits or termination benefits for the Non-Executive Directors
in either 2017 or 2018.
J Halton commenced as a Non-Executive Director on 21 October 2016, so 2017 remuneration reflects a partial service year.
J Key commenced as a Non-Executive Director for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited on 28 February 2018, so 2018 remuneration reflects a partial service year. In addition for
2018, in relation to his Non-Executive Directorship from 18 October 2017 for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, J Key also received a total of NZD 302,925 as a Non-Executive Director until 31
December 2017 and from 1 January 2018 as Chairman.
I Macfarlane retired as a NED on 16 December 2016, so 2017 remuneration reflects partial service year up to his date of retirement.

7. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
7.1 THE HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) COMMITTEE
Role The HR Committee supports the Board on remuneration and other HR matters. They review the remuneration policies and practices of
the Group, monitor market practice and also regulatory and compliance requirements in Australia and overseas.
The HR Committee has a strong focus on the relationship between business performance, risk management and remuneration, aligned with
our business strategy, and seeks input from the Risk and Audit Committees where relevant. During the year the HR Committee met on eight
occasions and reviewed and approved or made recommendations to the Board on matters including:
• Remuneration for the CEO and other key executives (broader than those disclosed in the Remuneration Report) covered by the ANZ
Remuneration Policy, and fees for the NEDs;
• the design of significant variable remuneration plans – for example: the ANZIP;
• the Group Performance Framework (objectives setting and assessment) and annual variable remuneration spend;
• performance and reward outcomes for key senior executives, including the consideration of downward adjustment;
• key senior executive appointments and terminations;
• the effectiveness of the ANZ Remuneration Policy and changes to the policy to incorporate the Banking Executive Accountability Regime
(BEAR) requirements;
• succession plans for key senior executives; and
• culture, diversity and inclusion, and employee engagement.
More details about the role of the HR Committee, including its Charter, can be found on our website. Go to anz.com > about us > our
company > corporate governance > ANZ Human Resources Committee Charter.

REMUNERATION REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)
7. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE (continued)
Link between remuneration and risk To further reflect the importance of the link between remuneration and risk:
• the Board had three NEDs in 2018 who served on both the HR Committee and the Risk Committee;
• the HR Committee has free and unfettered access to risk and financial control personnel; and
• the HR Committee can engage independent external advisors as needed.
External advisors provided information but not recommendations Throughout the year, the HR Committee and management
received information from the following external providers: Aon, Ashurst, Ernst & Young, Mercer Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd and
PricewaterhouseCoopers. This information related to market data, market practices, legislative requirements and the interpretation of
governance and regulatory requirements.
During the year, ANZ did not receive any remuneration recommendations from external consultants about the remuneration of KMP.
ANZ employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide recommendations to the HR Committee and the Board. The Board made
its decisions independently, using the information provided and with careful regard to ANZ’s strategic objectives, risk appetite and the ANZ
Remuneration Policy and principles.
7.2 INTERNAL GOVERNANCE
Hedging prohibition
All deferred equity must remain at risk until it has fully vested. Accordingly, executives and their associated persons must not enter into any
schemes that specifically protect the unvested value of equity allocated. If they do so, then they forfeit the relevant equity.
Shareholding guidelines
We expect the CEO and each Disclosed Executive to, over a five year period:
• accumulate ANZ shares to the value of 200% of their fixed remuneration; and
• maintain this shareholding level while they are an executive of ANZ.
For this purpose, shareholdings include all vested, and unvested, equity that is not subject to performance hurdles.
Based on equity holdings as at 30 September 2018, the CEO and all Disclosed Executives:
• who have been with us for at least five years, meet this requirement; and
• who have been with us for less than five years, are on track to meet it.
CEO and Disclosed Executives’ contract terms and equity treatment
The details of the contract terms and also the equity treatment on termination (in accordance with the Conditions of Grant) relating to the
CEO and Disclosed Executives are below. Although they are similar, they vary in some cases to suit different circumstances.
Type of contract
Permanent ongoing employment contract.
Notice on resignation
• 12 months’ by CEO;
• 6 months’ by Disclosed Executives.
Notice on termination by ANZ
• 12 months’ by ANZ.
However, ANZ may immediately terminate an individual’s employment at any time in the case of serious
misconduct. In that case, the individual will be entitled only to payment of fixed remuneration up to the
date of their termination.
How unvested equity is treated
on leaving ANZ
Executives who resign or are terminated will forfeit all their unvested deferred equity – unless the Board
determines otherwise.
If an executive is terminated due to redundancy or they are classified as a 'good leaver', then:
• their deferred shares/share rights are released at the original vesting date; and
• their performance rights1 are prorated for service to the full notice termination date and released at the
original vesting date (to the extent that the performance hurdles are met).
On an executive’s death or total and permanent disablement, their deferred equity vests.
In relation to the 2018 CEO grant of performance rights, in the event of termination during the restriction
period, the shares will be released at the end of restriction period – unless the Board determines
otherwise. In the event the CEO ceases employment because of death or total and permanent disability,
the restriction period will no longer apply.
Unvested equity remains subject to downward adjustment post termination.
Change of control (applies to
the CEO only)
If a change of control or other similar event occurs, then we will test the performance conditions applying
to the CEO’s performance rights. They will vest to the extent that the performance conditions are satisfied.
In relation to the 2018 CEO grant of performance rights, the Board may waive the restriction period in
relation to any shares to which the CEO becomes entitled as a result.
1. Or deferred share rights granted to the CRO instead of performance rights

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 8. OTHER INFORMATION
8.1 EQUITY HOLDINGS
For the equity granted to the CEO and Disclosed Executives in November/December 2017, all deferred shares were purchased on the market.
For deferred share rights and performance rights, we will determine our approach to satisfying awards closer to the time of vesting.
The table below sets out details of deferred shares and rights that we granted to the CEO and Disclosed Executives:
• during the 2018 year; or
• in prior years and that then vested, were exercised/sold or which lapsed/were forfeited during the 2018 year.

REMUNERATION REPORT DIRECTORS’
REPORT
The Directors’ Report for the financial year ended 30 September
2018 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001. The information below forms part of this
Directors’ Report:
• Principal activities on page 5
• Operating and financial review on pages 14 to 26
• Dividends on page 25
• Information on the Directors, Company Secretaries and
Directors’ meetings on pages 28 to 36
• Remuneration report on pages 40 to 67
Significant changes in state of affairs
There have been no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs.
Events since the end of the financial year
There have been no significant events from 30 September 2018 to the
date of signing this report.
Political donations
Our policy is that we make an annual donation to the two major
Federal parties to support the democratic process in Australia. In 2018,
ANZ donated $100,000 to the Liberal Party of Australia and $100,000 to
the Australia Labor Party.
Environmental Regulation
ANZ recognises the expectations of its stakeholders – customers,
shareholders, staff and the community – to operate in a way that
mitigates its environmental impact.
In Australia, ANZ meets the requirements of the National Greenhouse
and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (Cth), which imposes reporting
obligations where energy production, usage or greenhouse gas
emissions trigger specified thresholds.
ANZ holds a licence under the Water Act 1989 (Vic), 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 ANZ
fully complies. The extraction of river water reduces reliance on the
high quality potable water supply and is one of several environmental
initiatives that ANZ has introduced at its Melbourne head office building.
The Group does not believe that its operations are subject to any
particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of the
Commonwealth of Australia or of an Australian State or Territory. It may
become subject to environmental regulation as a result of its lending
activities in the ordinary course of business and has developed policies
to identify and manage such environmental matters.
Having made due enquiry, and to the best of ANZ’s knowledge, no
entity of the Group has incurred any material environmental liability
during the year.
Further details of ANZ’s environmental performance, including progress
against its targets and details of its emissions profile, are available on
anz.com>About us>Corporate Sustainability.

Corporate Governance Statement
ANZ is committed to maintaining a high standard in its governance
framework. ANZ confirms it has followed the ASX Corporate
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations (3rd edition) (ASX Governance Principles)
during the 2018 financial year. ANZ’s Corporate Governance
Statement, together with the ASX Appendix 4G which relates to
the Corporate Governance Statement, can be viewed at anz.com/
CorporateGovernance and has been lodged with the ASX.
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. ANZ met those
requirements during the year.
The ASX Governance Principles may materially differ from the NZX’s
corporate governance rules and the principles of the NZX’s Corporate
Governance Code. More information about the corporate governance
rules and principles of the ASX can be found at asx.com and, in respect
of the NZX, at nzx.com.
Pillar 3 information
ANZ provides information required by APS 330: Public Disclosure
in the Regulatory Disclosures section at shareholder.anz.com/pages/
regulatory-disclosure.
Non-audit services
The Group’s Stakeholder Engagement Model for Relationship with the
External Auditor (the Policy), which incorporates requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and industry best practice, prevents the external
auditor from providing services that are perceived to be in conflict with
the role of the external auditor or breach independence requirements.
This includes 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 Policy:
• limits the scope of non-audit services that may be provided;
• requires that audit, audit-related and permitted non-audit
services be considered in light of independence requirements
and for any potential conflicts of interest before they are
approved by the Audit Committee, or approved by the Chair
of the Audit Committee (or delegate) and notified to the Audit
Committee; and
• requires pre-approval before the external auditor can
commence any engagement for the Group.
Further details about the Policy can be found in the Corporate
Governance Statement.
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT The external auditor has confirmed to the Audit Committee that it has:
• implemented procedures to ensure it complies with
independence rules in applicable jurisdictions, including
Australia and the United States; and
• complied with applicable policies and regulations regarding
the provision of non-audit services including those applicable
in Australia, those prescribed by the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the Policy.
The Audit Committee has reviewed the non-audit services provided by
the external auditor during the 2018 financial year, and has confirmed
that the provision of these services is consistent with the Policy,
compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 and did not compromise the
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. This
has been formally advised by the Audit Committee to the Board
of Directors.
The categories of non-audit services supplied to the Group during
the year ended 30 September 2018 by the external auditor, KPMG, or
by another person or firm on KPMG’s behalf, and the amounts paid or
payable (including GST) by the Group are as follows:
Non-audit services
General market or regulatory insights
Training related services
Controls related assessments

Further details on the compensation paid to KPMG is provided in Note
34 Compensation of Auditors to the financial statements including
details of audit-related services provided during the year of
$6.28 million (2017: $6.17 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 2018 is compatible with the general standard of
independence for external auditors imposed by the Corporations Act
2001 and did not compromise the auditor independence requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001.
Directors’ and Officers’ indemnity
The Company’s Constitution (Rule 11.1) permits the Company to:
• indemnify any officer or employee of the Company, or its
auditor, against liabilities (so far as may be permitted under
applicable law) incurred as such by an officer, employee or
auditor, including liabilities incurred as a result of appointment
or nomination by the Company as a trustee or as an officer or
employee of another corporation; and
• make payments in respect of legal costs incurred by an officer,
employee or auditor in defending an action for a liability
incurred as such by an officer, employee or auditor, or in
resisting or responding to actions taken by a government
agency, a duly constituted Royal Commission or other official
inquiry, a liquidator, administrator, trustee in bankruptcy or
other authorised official.
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 and former
employees against any liability they incur to any third party as a result
of acting in the course of their employment with the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company and this extends to liability incurred as a
result of their appointment/nomination by or at the request of the
Group as an officer or employee of another corporation or body or
as trustee.
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.
In accordance with the employee indemnity policy, the Company has
during or since the year ended 30 September 2018 paid legal expenses
totalling $30,455.31 incurred by Mr Richard Moscati in relation to legal
proceedings brought against him and the Company by a third party.
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
indemnify them against liabilities and legal costs of the kind mentioned
in the Company’s constitution.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These are the financial statements for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (together, ‘the
Group’ or ‘ANZ’) for the year ended 30 September 2018. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s
registered office and its principal place of business is ANZ Centre, 833 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008.
On 30 October 2018, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements.
Information in the financial statements is included only to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial
statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:
the dollar amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);
the dollar amount is significant by nature (qualitative factor);
the user cannot understand the Group’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);
the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business during the period - for example,
business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);
the information relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); and
the information is required under legislative requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) or by the Group’s principal
regulators, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
This section of the financial statements:
outlines the basis upon which the Group’s financial statements have been prepared; and
discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
This financial report is a general purpose (Tier 1) financial report prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
(AASs) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Corporations Act 2001, and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We present the financial statements of the Group in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. We have
rounded values to the nearest million dollars ($m), unless otherwise stated, as allowed under the ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors
Report) Instrument 2016/191. We measure the financial statements of each entity in the Group using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates (the functional currency).
BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
We have prepared the financial information in accordance with the historical cost basis - except the following assets and liabilities which we have
stated at their fair value:
derivative financial instruments and in the case of fair value hedging, a fair value adjustment is made on the underlying hedged exposure;
available-for-sale financial assets;
financial instruments held for trading;
other financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss; and
certain other assets and liabilities held for sale where the fair value less costs of disposal is less than their carrying value (except for certain assets
and liabilities held for sale which are exempt from this requirement).
In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts (AASB 1038) we have measured life insurance liabilities using the Margin on Services (MoS)
model. In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits (AASB 119) we have measured defined benefit obligations using the Projected Unit
Credit Method.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The financial results of the Wealth Australia businesses being divested (OnePath pensions and investments and the aligned dealer groups business
being sold to IOOF Holdings Limited, and the life insurance business being sold to Zurich Financial Services Australia) and associated Group
reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective. These businesses qualify as
discontinued operations, which are a subset of assets held for sale, as they represent a major line of business. The comparative Group Income
Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income have been restated to show discontinued operations separately from continuing operations in
a separate line item ‘Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations’. This impacts the current and comparative financial information for Wealth Australia
and Technology, Services & Operations (TSO) and Group Centre divisions. The Balance Sheet is not restated when a business is reclassified as a
discontinued operation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. An entity, including a
structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of the Group when we determine that the Company has control over the entity. Control exists when the
Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the entity. We assess power by examining existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
entity. We have eliminated, on consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in the Group.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the
reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate.
Any foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.
We measure translation differences on non-monetary items at fair value through profit or loss and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss on
these items. We include any translation differences on non-monetary items classified as available-for-sale financial assets in the available-for-sale
revaluation reserve in equity.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS THAT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY THAT IS NOT AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS
The financial statements of our foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars for consolidation into the Group Financial Statements using the
following method:
Foreign currency item
Exchange rate used
Assets and liabilities
The reporting date rate
Equity
The initial investment date rate
Income and expenses
The average rate for the period – but if for a significant transaction we believe
the average rate is not reasonable, then we use the transaction date rate
Exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations are recognised in the foreign currency translation
reserve in equity. When we dispose of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences are transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or
loss on sale.
FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES
The Group provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee, trustee, administration and investment management services
predominantly through the wealth businesses. This involves the Group holding assets on behalf of third parties and making decisions regarding the
purchase and sale of financial instruments. If ANZ is not the beneficial owner or does not control the assets, then we do not recognise these
transactions in these financial statements, except when required by accounting standards or another legislative requirement.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates
and assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider material to
the financial statements are contained within the relevant notes to the financial statements.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT EARLY ADOPTED
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for the financial statements
for the year ended 30 September 2018, and have not been applied by the Group in preparing these financial statements.
We have identified four standards relevant to the Group and further details are set out below.

AASB 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (AASB 9)
In December 2014, the AASB issued the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 9 Financial Instruments which has replaced AASB 139 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139). AASB 9 is effective for the Group from 1 October 2018.
AASB 9 stipulates new requirements for the impairment of financial assets, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
and general hedge accounting. Details of the key requirements and estimated impacts on the Group are outlined below.
Impairment
AASB 9 replaces the incurred loss impairment model under AASB 139 with an expected credit loss (ECL) model incorporating forward looking
information and which does not require an actual loss event to have occurred for an impairment provision to be recognised.
The ECL model will be applied to all financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, lease receivables, certain loan commitments and financial guarantees not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Under the ECL model, the following three-stage approach is applied to measuring ECL based on credit migration between the stages
since origination:
Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, a provision
equivalent to 12 months ECL is recognised.
Stage 2: Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, a provision equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised. If credit risk
were to improve in a subsequent period such that the increase in credit risk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure
returns to a Stage 1 classification and a 12 month ECL.
Stage 3: Similar to the current AASB 139 requirements for individual impairment provisions, lifetime ECL is recognised for loans where there is
objective evidence of impairment.
Expected credit losses are estimated at the facility level by using a probability of default reflecting a probability weighted range of possible future
economic scenarios, and applying this to the estimated exposure of the Group at the point of default (exposure at default) after taking into account
the value of any collateral held or other mitigants of loss (loss given default), while allowing for the impact of discounting for the time value of money.
Key judgements and estimates made by the Group include the following:
Significant increase in credit risk
Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition. In determining what constitutes a
SICR, the Group considers both qualitative and quantitative information. For the majority of portfolios, the primary indicator of a SICR is a
significant deterioration in the internal credit rating grade of a facility since origination. The Group will also use secondary indicators, such as 30
days past due arrears, as backstops to these primary indicators.
The determination of trigger points in relation to the deterioration of rating grades, combined with secondary risk indicators where used, requires
judgement. In determining the Group’s policy, alternative indicators have been considered and assessed, and these will be subject to regular
review to ensure they remain appropriate.

Forward looking information
The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible future outcomes.
In applying forward looking information in the Group’s AASB 9 credit models, the Group uses four alternative economic scenarios in estimating
ECL. A base case scenario reflects management’s base case assumptions used for medium term planning purposes. Additional upside and
downside scenarios are determined together with a severe downside scenario. The Group’s Credit and Market Risk Committee (CMRC) will be
responsible for reviewing and approving forecast economic scenarios and the associated probability weights applied to each scenario.
Where applicable, adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been adequately addressed in the
modelling process. CMRC will be responsible for recommending such adjustments.
The overall level of expected credit losses and areas of significant management judgement will be reported to, and oversighted by, the Group’s
Board Risk Committee.
Classification and measurement
Financial assets - general
There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under AASB 9: Amortised Cost, Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) and Fair Value
through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI). Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two criteria:
the business model within which the financial asset is managed; and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest).
The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:
Amortised cost: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise the payment of principal and interest only and which are held in a
business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;
Fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise the payment of principal and interest
only and which are held in a business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell; and
Fair value through profit or loss: Any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.
In December 2017, the AASB issued AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Prepayment Features with Negative
Compensation which amends the requirements of AASB 9 so that certain prepayment features meet the solely payments of principal and interest test.
The Group intends to early adopt this amendment so that it applies from the date of initial application of AASB 9.
AASB 9 allows the Group to irrevocably elect to designate a financial asset as measured at FVTPL on initial recognition if doing so eliminates or
significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
Financial assets - equity instruments
AASB 9 also permits non-traded equity investments to be designated at FVOCI on an instrument by instrument basis. If this election is made under
AASB 9, gains or losses are not reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss on disposal of the investment. However, gains or losses
may be reclassified within equity.
Financial liabilities
The classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities under AASB 9 are largely consistent with AASB 139 with the exception that for
financial liabilities designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are included in other
comprehensive income, except where doing so would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. This part of the standard was early
adopted by the Group on 1 October 2013.
General hedge accounting
AASB 9 introduces new hedge accounting requirements which more closely align accounting with risk management activities undertaken when
hedging financial and non-financial risks.
AASB 9 provides the Group with an accounting policy choice to continue to apply the AASB 139 hedge accounting requirements until the
International Accounting Standards Board’s ongoing project on macro hedge accounting is completed. The Group’s current expectation is that it will
continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of AASB 139.
Transition to AASB 9
Other than as noted above under classification and measurement of financial liabilities, AASB 9 has a date of initial application for the Group of 1
October 2018.
The classification and measurement, and impairment requirements will be applied retrospectively by adjusting opening retained earnings at 1
October 2018. ANZ does not intend to restate comparatives.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Impact
The estimated impact of AASB 9 relates to the Impairment and the Classification and Measurement provisions. These estimates are based on
accounting policies, assumptions and judgements and estimation techniques that remain subject to change until the Group finalises its financial
statements for the year ending 30 September 2019.
Impairment
For the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the adoption of AASB 9 is expected to reduce net assets at 1 October 2018 by
approximately $813 million offset by deferred tax of approximately $232 million. This will result in a reduction in the CET1 capital ratio of
approximately 6 bps at Level 2, and approximately 12 bps at Level 1.
Classification and measurement of financial assets
While some classification changes will occur as a result of the application of the business model and contractual cash flow characteristics tests,
these are not expected to be significant from a Group perspective.
The adoption of the Classification and Measurement requirements of the standard will result in measurement differences compared to those
under AASB 139. Financial assets with a current carrying value of approximately $4.5 billion, predominantly bonds and debt instruments, will be
reclassified between amortised cost, FVTPL and FVOCI. The net re-measurement from these reclassifications is not material. There are no other
material changes in the measurement categories.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group has issued certain financial liabilities (bonds included within the Debt issuances caption) with an amortised cost carrying amount at 30
September 2018 of $879 million. The Group will elect to designate these liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss effective from
initial application of AASB 9 to reduce an accounting mismatch that currently exists. The impact on net assets and retained earnings is
not material.
AASB 15 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (AASB 15)
AASB 15 is effective for the Group from 1 October 2018 and replaces existing guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with
customers. The standard requires identification of distinct performance obligations within a contract, and allocation of the transaction price of the
contract to those performance obligations. Revenue is then recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied. The standard also provides
guidance on whether an entity is acting as a principal or an agent which impacts the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis.
The Group has assessed all revenue streams existing at the date of transition to the new standard and determined that the impact of AASB 15 is
immaterial given a majority of Group revenues are outside the scope of the standard. The Group will adopt AASB 15 retrospectively including
restatement of prior period comparatives.
Certain revenues for the Retail credit cards and Wealth businesses will be impacted as follows:
Trail commissions: Certain trail commission income previously recognised over time by the Group will be recognised at inception of a contract
when the Group distributes the underlying products to customers. This will result in the Group recognising the expected future trail commission
income upfront where it is highly probable the revenue will not need to be reversed in future periods.
Credit card revenue: Certain loyalty costs will be presented as operating expenses rather than presented as a net reduction of other operating
income where the Group is assessed to be acting as a principal (rather than an agent) under the new standard. In addition, certain incentives
received from card scheme providers related to card marketing and migration activities will be presented as operating income and no longer
netted against operating expenses.
AASB 16 LEASES (AASB 16)
The final version of AASB 16 was issued in February 2016 and is not effective for the Group until 1 October 2019. AASB 16 requires a lessee to recognise
its right to use the underlying leased asset, as a right-of-use asset, and its obligation to make lease payments as a lease liability.
AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117 Leases.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the application of AASB 16 and is not yet able to reasonably estimate the impact on its
financial statements.

AASB 17 INSURANCE CONTRACTS (AASB 17)
The final version of AASB 17 was issued in July 2017 and is not effective for the Group until 1 October 2021. It will replace AASB 4 Insurance Contracts,
AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts and AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts. AASB 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement,
presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts.
The measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements under AASB 17 are significantly different from current accounting standards. Although the
overall profit recognised in respect of insurance contracts will not change, it is expected that the timing of profit recognition will change.
The Group is not yet able to reasonably estimate the impact of AASB 17 on its financial statements.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
NET INTEREST INCOME
Interest Income and Expense
We recognise interest income and expense for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for trading, available-for-sale (AFS)
assets or designated at fair value through profit or loss in net interest income. For assets held at amortised cost we use the effective interest
rate method to calculate amortised cost. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the stream of estimated future cash receipts or
payments over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we determine their expected life on the basis of historical behaviour of the
particular asset portfolio - taking into account contractual obligations and prepayment experience.
We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instrument (for example loan origination fees and costs), using the
effective interest rate method. This is presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial
instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.
Major Bank Levy
The Major Bank Levy Act 2017 (‘Levy’ or ‘Major bank levy’) became effective from 1 July 2017 and applies a rate of 0.06% to certain liabilities
of the Company. The Group has determined that the levy represents a finance cost for the Group and is presented in interest expense in
the Income Statement.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Fee and Commission Income
We recognise fees or commissions:
that relate to the execution of a significant act (for example, advisory or arrangement services, placement fees and underwriting fees)
when the significant act has been completed; and
charged for providing ongoing services (for example, maintaining and administering existing facilities) as income over the period the
service is provided.
Net Foreign Exchange Earnings and Other Financial Instruments Income
We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:
exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and translation differences on monetary items translated at
rates different to those at which they were initially recognised or included in a previous financial report;
fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives that we use to manage interest rate and foreign
exchange risk on funding instruments not designated as accounting hedges;
the ineffective portions of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and net investment hedges;
fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss or held for trading;
amounts released from the AFS revaluation reserve in equity when an AFS asset is sold; and
immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments in items designated as fair value
hedges and amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges.
Gain or Loss on Disposal of Non-Financial Assets
The gain or loss on the disposal of assets is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the proceeds of disposal net of costs.
This is recognised in other income in the year in which the significant risks and rewards transfer to the buyer.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
NET FUNDS MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE INCOME
Funds Management Income
We recognise the fees we charge to customers in connection with financial advice and the management of investment products when we
have provided the service.
Insurance Income
We recognise:
premiums with a regular due date as income on an accruals basis;
claims on an accruals basis once our liability to the policyholder has been confirmed under the terms of contract; and
change in life insurance contract asset net of liability for reinsurance, under the Margin of Service (MoS) model.
We show insurance premiums net of any reinsurance premium, which we account for on the same basis as the underlying direct
insurance premium.
SHARE OF ASSOCIATES’ PROFIT
The equity method is applied to accounting for associates. Under the equity method, the Group’s share of the after tax results of
associates is included in the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to the Group over the period in which an asset is consumed or once a
liability is created.
SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS - ANNUAL LEAVE, LONG SERVICE LEAVE AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of
employees rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that the Group expects to pay when
the liabilities are settled.
We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff
departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market
yields are determined from a blended rate of high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future
cash outflows.
If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay
this amount (as a result of past service provided by the employee) and the obligation can be reliably measured.

86
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. OPERATING EXPENSES (continued)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Personnel expenses also include share-based payments which may be cash or equity settled. We calculate the fair value of equity
settled remuneration at grant date, which is then amortised over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in share capital or
the share option reserve as applicable. When we estimate the fair value, we take into account market vesting conditions, such as
share price performance conditions. We take non-market vesting conditions, such as service conditions, into account by adjusting
the number of equity instruments included in the expense.
After the grant of an equity-based award, the amount we recognise as an expense is reversed when non-market vesting conditions
are not met, for example an employee fails to satisfy the minimum service period specified in the award on resignation, termination
or notice of dismissal for serious misconduct. However, we do not reverse the expense if the award does not vest due to the failure to
meet a market-based performance condition.
Further information on share-based payment schemes operated by the Group during the current and prior year is included in Note
31 Employee Share and Option Plans.

TAX CONSOLIDATION
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. We recognise each of the following in the separate financial statements of members of the tax
consolidated group on a ‘group allocation’ basis: tax expense/income, and deferred tax liabilities/assets, that arise from temporary differences of the
members of the tax-consolidated group. The Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group) recognises current tax liabilities and assets of
the tax-consolidated group.
Under 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.
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 were the head entity to default on its income tax payment obligations.
UNRECOGNISED DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to unused realised tax losses (on revenue account) total $4 million (2017: $4 million). Unrecognised deferred
tax liabilities related to additional potential foreign tax costs (assuming all retained earnings in offshore branches and subsidiaries are repatriated) total
$422 million (2017: $413 million).

Eligible shareholders can elect to reinvest their dividend entitlement into ANZ ordinary shares under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(DRP). Eligible shareholders can elect to forgo their dividend entitlement and instead receive ANZ ordinary shares under the Company’s Bonus Option
Plan (BOP). For the 2018 final dividend, DRP participation will be satisfied by an on-market purchase of shares and BOP participation will be satisfied by
an issue of ANZ ordinary shares. There will be no discount applied to the DRP and BOP price.
See Note 22 Shareholders’ Equity for details of shares the Company issued or purchased in respect of the DRP and BOP.

5. DIVIDENDS (continued)
The proposed final 2018 dividend will utilise the entire balance of $97 million franking credits available at 30 September 2018. Instalment tax
payments on account of the 2019 financial year which will be made after 30 September 2018 will generate sufficient franking credits to enable the
final 2018 dividend to be fully franked. The extent to which future dividends will be franked will depend on a number of factors, including the level of
profits generated by the Group that will be subject to tax in Australia.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
APRA’s written approval is required before paying dividends on ANZ ordinary shares:
if the aggregate dividends exceed the Company’s after tax earnings (in calculating those after tax earnings, we take into account any payments we
made on senior capital instruments) in the financial year to which they relate; or
if the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio falls within capital range buffers specified by APRA.
If the Company fails to pay a dividend or distribution on its ANZ Capital Notes or ANZ Capital Securities on the scheduled payment date, it may
(subject to a number of exceptions) be restricted from resolving to pay or paying any dividend on the ANZ ordinary shares.

operations for the September 2018 financial year, basic earnings per share would have been 244.4 cents (2017: 216.8) and diluted earnings per share would have been 233.1 cents (2017: 207.8 cents).
2. Excludes the weighted average number of treasury shares held in ANZEST of 5.9 million (2017: 8.1 million) and Wealth Australia of 15.0 million (2017: 16.2 million)

7. SEGMENT REPORTING
DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS
The Group’s six operating segments are presented on a basis that is consistent with the information provided internally to the Chief Executive Officer,
who is the chief operating decision maker. This reflects the way the Group’s businesses are managed, rather than the legal structure of the Group.
We measure the performance of these segments on a cash profit basis. To calculate cash profit, we remove certain non-core items from statutory
profit. Details of these items are included in the “Other Items” section of this note. Transactions between business units across segments within ANZ
are conducted on an arm’s-length basis and disclosed as part of the income and expenses of these segments.
The reportable segments are divisions engaged in providing either different products or services or similar products and services in different
geographical areas. They are as follows:

During 2018, the following structural changes were made as part of the broader ANZ simplification strategy:
the corporate business, formerly part of the Corporate and Commercial Banking business within the Australia division, was transferred to the
Institutional division;
the residual Asia Retail and Wealth businesses in Philippines, Japan and Cambodia not sold as part of the Asia Retail and Wealth divestment have
been transferred to the Institutional division; and
the Group made a further realignment by transferring Group Hub’s (Service Centres) divisional specific operations in TSO and Group Centre to

SEGMENT INCOME BY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The primary sources of our external income across all divisions are interest income and other operating income. The Australia, New Zealand, and Asia
Retail & Pacific divisions derive income from products and services from retail and commercial banking. The Institutional division derives its income
from institutional products and services. The Wealth Australia division derives income from funds management and insurance businesses. No single
customer amounts to greater than 10% of the Group’s income.
GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
The following table sets out total operating income earned including discontinued operations and assets to be recovered in more than one year

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Trading securities are financial instruments we either:
acquire principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term; or
hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.
We recognise purchases and sales of trading securities on trade date:
initially, we measure them at fair value; and
subsequently, we measure them in the balance sheet at their fair value with any revaluation recognised in the profit or loss.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of trading securities not valued using
quoted market prices. Refer to Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.

whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract - sometimes the value is derived from more than
one variable;
that require little or no initial net investment; and
that are settled at a future date.
Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.
PURPOSE
The Group’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as following:
Trading
Derivatives held in order to:
Meet customer needs for managing their own risks.
Manage risks in the Group that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship.
Undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices
or margins.
Designated in Hedging
Relationships
Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching
movements to underlying positions relating to:
Hedges of the Group’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.
Hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.
TYPES
The Group offers and uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:
Forwards
Futures
Swaps
Options
A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional
principal obligation at a future date.
An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy and sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on
the transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.
A contract in which two parties exchange a series of cash flows for another.
A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a “call option”)
or to sell (known as a “put option”) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the
corresponding obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises
the option.
RISKS MANAGED
The Group offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following market factors:
Foreign Exchange
Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.
Interest Rate
Commodity
Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.
Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa and sugar) and hard commodities (that
is, mined products such as gold, oil and gas).
Credit
Counterparty risk in the event of default.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – DESIGNATED IN HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
There are three types of hedge accounting relationships the Group utilises:
Fair value hedge
Cash flow hedge
Net investment hedge
To hedge our exposure to variability in
cash flows of a recognised asset or
liability, a foreign exchange
component of a firm commitment or
a highly probable forecast transaction
caused by interest rate, foreign
currency and other price movements.
To hedge our exposure to exchange
rate differences arising from the
translation of our foreign operations
from their functional currency to
Australian dollars.
We recognise the effective portion of
changes in the fair value of derivatives
designated as a cash flow hedge in
the cash flow hedge reserve.
We recognise the effective portion of
changes in the fair value of the
hedging instrument in the foreign
currency translation reserve.
Objective of this
hedging
arrangement
To hedge our exposure to changes to
the fair value of a recognised asset or
liability or unrecognised firm
commitment caused by interest rate
or foreign currency movements.
The following are recognised in profit
or loss at the same time:
all changes in the fair value of the
underlying item relating to the
hedged risk; and
the change in the fair value
of derivatives.
Recognition of
effective hedge
portion
Recognition of
ineffective hedge
portion
If a hedging
instrument expires,
or is sold, terminated,
or exercised; or no
longer qualifies for
hedge accounting
Recognised immediately in other operating income.
When we recognise the hedged item
in profit or loss, we recognise the
related unamortised fair value
adjustment in profit or loss. This may
occur over time if the hedged item is
amortised to profit or loss as part of
the effective yield over the period
to maturity.
Only when we recognise the hedged
item in profit or loss is the amount
previously deferred in the cash flow
hedge reserve transferred to profit
or loss.
The amount we defer in the foreign
currency translation reserve remains in
equity and is transferred to profit or
loss only when we dispose of, or
partially dispose of, the foreign
operation.
Hedged item sold or
repaid
We recognise the unamortised fair
value adjustment immediately in
profit or loss.
Amounts accumulated in equity are
transferred immediately to profit
or loss.
The gain or loss, or applicable
proportion, we recognise in equity is
transferred to profit or loss on disposal
or partial disposal of a foreign
operation.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments designated in hedging relationships are:

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Recognition
Initially and at each reporting date, we recognise all derivatives at fair value. If the fair value of a
derivative is positive, then we carry it as an asset, but if its value is negative, then we carry it as
a liability.
Derecognition of
assets and liabilities
Impact on the
Income Statement
Valuation adjustments are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes:
a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the counterparty risk and/or event of default; and
a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) to account for funding costs and benefits in the
derivatives portfolio.
We remove derivative assets from our balance sheet when the contracts expire or we have transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We remove derivative liabilities from our balance
sheet when the Group’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
How we recognise gains or losses on derivative financial instruments depends on whether the
derivative is held for trading or is designated into a hedging relationship. For derivative financial
instruments held for trading, gains or losses from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit
or loss.
For an instrument designated into a hedging relationship the recognition of gains or losses depends
on the nature of the item being hedged. Refer to the previous table on page 98 for profit or loss
treatment depending on the hedge type.
Hedge effectiveness
To qualify for hedge accounting a hedge is expected to be highly effective. A hedge is highly effective
only if the following conditions are met:
the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash
flows attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated
(prospective effectiveness); and
the actual results of the hedge are within the range of 80-125% (retrospective effectiveness).
The Group monitors hedge effectiveness on a regular basis but at a minimum at least at each
reporting date.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when we select the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivatives, particularly the selection of
valuation inputs that are not readily observable, and the application of valuation adjustments to certain derivatives. Refer to Note 17 Fair
Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.

During the year, the Group recognised a net gain (before tax) in other operating income of $48 million (2017: $15 million) in respect of available-for-
sale (AFS) assets.
The carrying value of AFS equity securities is $1,095 million (2017: $747 million). This includes the Group’s $1,025 million (2017: $676 million)
investment in the Bank of Tianjin (BoT) that ceased being classified as an associate in March 2016.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
11. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE ASSETS (continued)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
AFS assets comprise non-derivative financial assets which we designate as AFS since we do not hold them principally for trading purposes.
They include both equity and debt securities. AFS assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and are revalued at least
bi-annually. On revaluation, we include movements in fair value within the available-for-sale revaluation reserve in equity, except for certain
items which are recognised directly in profit or loss, being interest on debt securities, dividends received, foreign exchange on debt
securities and impairment charges.
When we sell the asset, any cumulative gain or loss from the available-for-sale revaluation reserve is recognised in profit or loss.
At each reporting date, we assess whether any AFS assets are impaired. We assess the impairment of any debt securities if an event has
occurred which will have a negative impact on the asset’s estimated cash flows. For equity securities, we assess if there is a significant or
prolonged decline in their fair value below cost.
If an AFS asset is impaired, then we remove the cumulative loss related to that asset from the available-for-sale revaluation reserve. We then
recognise it in profit or loss for:
debt instruments, as a credit impairment expense; and
equity instruments, as a negative impact in other operating income.
We recognise any later reversals of impairment on debt securities in the profit or loss through the credit impairment charge line. However,
we do not make any reversals of impairment for equity securities. To the extent previously impaired equity securities recover in value, gains
are recognised directly in equity.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Judgement is required when we select valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of AFS assets not valued using quoted market
prices, particularly the selection of valuation inputs that are not readily observable. Refer to Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities for further details.

1. Some of the loans previously shown in Commercial bills outstanding have been reclassified to Term Loans – non-housing. Restatement impact of $2,597 million for September 2017.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and
are facilities the Group provides directly to customers or through third party channels.
Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance,
which are primarily brokerage/mortgage origination fees which we amortise over the estimated life of the loan. Subsequently, we then
measure loans and advances at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any provision for credit impairment, or at fair
value when they are specifically designated on initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss or when held for trading.
We classify contracts to lease assets and hire purchase agreements 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. We include these facilities in ‘Other’ in the table above.
The Group enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets that are recognised on its balance sheet. When the Group retains
substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets remain on the Group’s balance sheet, however if
substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, the Group derecognises the asset.
If the risks and rewards are partially retained and control over the asset is lost, the Group derecognises the asset. If control over the asset is
not lost, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.
We separately recognise the rights and obligations retained, or created, in the transfer of assets and liabilities as appropriate.

13. PROVISION FOR CREDIT IMPAIRMENT (continued)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group recognises two types of impairment provisions for its loans and advances:
Individual provisions for significant assets that are assessed to be impaired; and
Collective provisions for portfolios of similar assets that are assessed collectively for impairment.
The accounting treatment for each of them is detailed below:
Individually
Collectively
Assessment
Impairment
Measurement
Uncollectable
amounts
If any impaired loans and advances exceed
specified thresholds and an impairment event has
been identified, then we assess the need for a
provision individually.
Loans and advances are assessed as impaired if we
have objective evidence that we may not recover
principal or interest payments (that is, a loss event
has been incurred).
To allow for any small value loans and advances
where losses may have been incurred but not yet
identified, and individually significant loans and
advances that we do not assess as impaired, we
assess them collectively in pools of assets with
similar risk characteristics.
We estimate the provision on the basis of historical
loss experience for assets with similar credit risk
characteristics to others in the respective collective
pool. We adjust the historical loss experience based
on current observable data – such as: changing
economic conditions, the impact of the inherent risk
of large concentrated losses within the portfolio and
an assessment of the economic cycle.
We measure impairment loss as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and estimated future cash
flows discounted to their present value at the asset’s original effective interest rate. We record the result as an
expense in profit or loss in the period we identify the impairment and recognise a corresponding reduction in
the carrying amount of loans and advances through an offsetting provision.
If a loan or advance is uncollectable (whether partially or in full), then we write off the balance (and also any
related provision for credit impairment).
We write off unsecured retail facilities at the earlier of the facility becoming 180 days past due, or the
customer’s bankruptcy or similar legal release from the obligation to repay the loan or advance. For secured
facilities, write offs occur net of the proceeds determined to be recoverable from the realisation of collateral.
Recoveries
If we recover any cash flows from loans and advances we have previously written off, then we recognise the
recovery in profit or loss in the period the cash flows are received.
Off-balance sheet
amounts
Any off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are considered for impairment both on an individual
and collective basis.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
When we measure impairment of loans and advances, we use management’s judgement of the extent of losses at reporting date.
Key Judgements
Individually
Collectively
Estimated future cash flows
Business prospects for the customer
Realisable value of any collateral
Group’s position relative to other claimants
Reliability of customer information
Likely cost and duration of recovering loans
Estimated future cash flows
Historical loss experience of assets with
similar risk characteristics
Impact of large concentrated losses
inherent in the portfolio
Assessment of the economic cycle
We regularly review our key judgements and update them to reflect actual loss experience.

a security interest over all the assets of UDC NZD 3.3 billion (2017: NZD 3.0 billion).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
For deposits and other borrowings that:
are not designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, we measure them at amortised cost and recognise their
interest expense using the effective interest rate method; and
are managed on a fair value basis, reduce or eliminate an accounting mismatch or contain an embedded derivative, we designated
them as fair value through profit or loss.
Refer to Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for details of the split between amortised cost and fair value.
For deposits and other borrowings designated at fair value we recognise the amount of fair value gain or loss attributable to changes in the
Group’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income in retained earnings. Any remaining amount of fair value gain or loss we recognise
directly in profit or loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to profit or loss.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent a liability to repurchase the financial assets that remain on our balance sheet since
the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the Group. Over the life of the repurchase agreement, we recognise the difference
between the sale price and the repurchase price and charge it to interest expense in the Income Statement.

The Group uses a variety of funding programmes to issue senior debt (including covered bonds and securitisations) and subordinated debt. The
difference between senior debt and subordinated debt is that holders of senior debt take priority over holders of subordinated debt owed by the
relevant issuer and subordinated debt will be repaid by the relevant issuer only after the repayment of claims of depositors, other creditors and the
senior debt holders.

AT1 CAPITAL
All outstanding AT1 capital instruments are Basel III fully compliant instruments (refer to Note 23 Capital Management for further information about
Basel III). Each of the ANZ CN and ANZ CS rank equally with each other.
Distributions on the AT1 capital instruments are non-cumulative and subject to the issuer’s absolute discretion and certain payment conditions
(including regulatory requirements). Distributions on ANZ CNs are franked in line with the franking applied to ANZ ordinary shares.
Where specified, the AT1 capital instruments provide the issuer with an early redemption or conversion option on a specified date and in certain other
circumstances (such as a tax or regulatory event). This option is subject to APRA’s and, in respect of the ANZ NZ CN, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s
(RBNZ) prior written approval.
Each of the AT1 capital instruments will immediately convert into a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares (based on the average market price of the
shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount, subject to a maximum conversion number of ANZ ordinary shares) if:
ANZ’s or, in the case of the ANZ NZ CN, ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited’s (ANZ NZ) Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than
5.125% - known as a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; or
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 or, in the case of the ANZ NZ CN, the RBNZ directs ANZ NZ to convert or write-
off the notes or a statutory manager is appointed to ANZ NZ and decides that ANZ NZ must convert or write-off the notes – known as a Non-
Viability Trigger Event.
Where specified, AT1 capital instruments mandatorily convert into a variable number of ANZ ordinary shares (based on the average market price of
the shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount):
on a specified mandatory conversion date; or
on an earlier date under certain circumstances as set out in the terms.
However the mandatory conversion is deferred for a specified period if certain conversion tests are not met.

TIER 2 CAPITAL
The convertible term subordinated notes are Basel III fully compliant instruments. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, the
convertible term subordinated notes will immediately convert into ANZ ordinary shares (based on the average market price of the
shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount, subject to a maximum conversion number).
APRA has granted transitional Basel III capital treatment for:
the EUR 750 million term subordinated notes until its maturity in 2019; and
the USD 300 million perpetual subordinated notes until the end of the transitional period (December 2021).

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Debt issuances are measured at amortised cost, except where designated at fair value through profit or loss. Where the Group enters into a
fair value hedge accounting relationship, the fair value attributable to the hedge risk is reflected in adjustments to the carrying value of the
debt. Interest expense is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Subordinated debt with capital-based conversion features (i.e. Common Equity Capital Trigger Events or Non-Viability Trigger Events) are
considered to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at fair value through profit and loss. The embedded derivatives
arise because the amount of shares issued on conversion following any of those trigger events is subject to the maximum conversion
number, however they have no value as of the reporting date given the remote nature of those trigger events.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AND MODEL
INTRODUCTION
The use of financial instruments is fundamental to the Group’s businesses of providing banking and other financial services to our customers. The
associated financial risks (primarily credit, market, and liquidity risks) are a significant portion of the Group’s principal risks.
We disclose details of all principal risks impacting the Group, and further information on the Group’s risk management activities, in the Governance
and Risk Management section.
This note details the Group’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the key financial risks:
Principal financial risks
Overview
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss from a customer, or
counterparty, failing to meet their financial obligations – including
the whole and timely payment of principal, interest, and
other receivables.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from potential adverse changes
in the value of the Group’s assets and liabilities and other trading
positions from fluctuations in market variables. These variables
include, but are not limited to interest rates, foreign exchange,
equity prices, commodity prices, credit spreads, implied volatilities,
and asset correlations.
Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its
payment obligations when they fall due; or does not have the
appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and
liquidity to fund increases in its assets.
Life insurance risk
Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to unexpected changes in
current and future insurance claims rates. The changes primarily
arise due to claims payments, mortality (death) or morbidity (illness
or injury) rates being greater than expected.

OVERVIEW
AN OVERVIEW OF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
This overview is provided to aid the users of the financial statements to understand the context of the financial disclosures required under AASB 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosures. It should be read in conjunction with the Governance and Risk Management section.
The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing the Group’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board has delegated authority to the
Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with the Group’s risk management policies. The BRC reports regularly to the Board
on its activities.
The Board approves the strategic objectives of the Group including:
the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that ANZ is prepared to accept in pursuit
of its strategic objectives and business plan; and
the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes ANZ’s strategy for managing risks and the key elements of the RMF that gives effect to this
strategy. This includes a description of each material risk, and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference to the relevant
policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how ANZ identifies measures, evaluates, monitors, reports and controls or
mitigates material risks.
The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and robust control environment in which
all employees understand their roles and obligations. At ANZ, risk is everyone’s responsibility.
The Group has an independent risk management function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who:
is responsible for overseeing the risk profile and the risk management framework;
can effectively challenge activities and decisions that materially affect ANZ’s risk profile; and
has an independent reporting line to the BRC to enable the appropriate escalation of issues of concern.
The Internal Audit Function reports directly to the Board Audit Committee (BAC). Internal Audit provides:
an independent evaluation of the Group’s RMF annually and undertakes a comprehensive review every three years;
assurance on the appropriateness, effectiveness and adequacy of the risk management framework, which includes assurance the framework is
operating effectively; and
recommendations to improve the framework and/or work practices to strengthen the effectiveness of day to day operations.

CREDIT RISK
CREDIT RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES
Granting credit facilities to customers is one of the Group’s major sources of income. As this activity is also a principal risk, the Group dedicates
considerable resources to its management. The Group assumes credit risk in a wide range of lending and other activities in diverse markets and in
many jurisdictions. Credit risks arise from traditional lending to customers as well as from interbank, treasury, trade finance and capital markets
activities around the world.
Our credit risk management framework ensures we apply a consistent approach across the Group when we measure, monitor and manage the credit
risk appetite set by the Board. The Board is assisted and advised by the BRC in discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The BRC:
sets the credit risk appetite and credit strategies; and
approves credit transactions beyond the discretion of executive management.
We quantify credit risk through an internal credit rating system (masterscales) to ensure consistency across exposure types and to provide a consistent
framework for reporting and analysis. The system uses models and other tools to measure the following for customer exposures:
Probability of Default (PD)
Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting the Group’s assessment of a customer’s ability
to service and repay debt.
Exposure at Default (EAD)
The expected amount of loan outstanding at the time of default.
Loss Given Default (LGD)
Expressed by a Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the
percentage of loan covered by security which the Group can realise if a customer defaults. The A-G
scale is supplemented by a range of other SIs which cover factors such as cash cover and sovereign
backing. For retail and some small business lending, we group exposures into large homogenous pools
– and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.
Our specialist credit risk teams develop and validate the Group’s PD and LGD rating models. The outputs from these models drive our day-to-day
credit risk management decisions including origination, pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, economic capital allocation, and
credit provisioning.
All customers with whom ANZ has a credit relationship are assigned a CCR at origination via either of the following assessment approaches:
Large and more complex lending
Retail and some small business lending
Rating models provide a consistent and structured assessment, with
judgement required around the use of out-of-model factors. We
handle credit approval on a dual approval basis, jointly with the
business writer and an independent credit officer.
Automated assessment of credit applications using a combination of
scoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit
reporting information. If the application does not meet the automated
assessment criteria, then it is referred out for manual assessment.
We use the Group’s internal CCRs to manage the credit quality of financial assets neither past due nor impaired. To enable wider comparisons, the
Group’s CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:
Internal Rating
ANZ Customer Requirements
Strong credit profile
Satisfactory risk
Demonstrated superior stability in their operating and financial
performance over the long-term, and whose earnings capacity is not

cyclical trends or variability in earnings.

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 instruments which are primarily subject to
market risk, or bank notes and coins.
For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. 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 the purpose of this note, assets presented as assets held for sale in the Balance Sheet have been reallocated to their respective Balance Sheet
categories.
The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any
collateral held or other credit enhancements.

Comparatives have been restated accordingly.
2. In 2018, collective provisions against Satisfactory risk, which previously had been allocated against Strong credit profile, are now reallocated to Satisfactory risk. Comparatives have been restated accordingly
(2017: Net loans and advances $586 million, Credit related commitments $187 million).
3. In 2018, collective provisions against Sub-standard risk, which previously had been allocated against Strong credit profile, are now reallocated to Sub-standard risk. Comparatives have been restated
accordingly (2017: Net loans and advances $638 million, Credit related commitments $85 million).
4. 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 for new facilities with similar risk.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk becomes concentrated when a number of customers are engaged in similar activities, have similar economic characteristics, or have similar
activities within the same geographic region – therefore, they may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Group
monitors its credit portfolio to manage risk concentration and rebalance the portfolio. The Group also applies single customer counterparty limits to
protect against unacceptably large exposures to one single customer.

CREDIT RISK (continued)
COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT
We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations from its
expected cash flows. For some products, the collateral provided by customers is fundamental to the product’s structuring, so it 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 nature of collateral or security held for the relevant classes of financial assets is as follows:
Net loans and advances
Loans – housing and
personal
Housing loans are secured by mortgage(s) over property and additional security may take the form of
guarantees and deposits.
Personal lending (including credit cards and overdrafts) is predominantly unsecured. If we take security, then
it is restricted to eligible vehicles, motor homes and other assets.
Loans – business
Business loans may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Typically, we take security by way of a
mortgage over property and/or a charge over the business or other assets.
If appropriate, we may take other security to mitigate the credit risk, for example: guarantees, standby letters
of credit or derivative protection.
Other financial assets
Trading securities, Available-
for-sale assets, Derivatives
and Other financial assets
For trading securities, we do not seek collateral directly from the issuer or counterparty. However, the
collateral may be implicit in the terms of the instrument (for example, with an asset-backed security). The
terms of debt securities may include collateralisation.
For derivatives, we typically terminate all contracts with the counterparty and settle on a net basis at market
levels current at the time of a counterparty default under International Swaps and Derivatives Association
(ISDA) Master Agreements.
Our preferred practice is to use a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to the ISDA so that 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 when their position is out of the money (or provided to
the counterparty by ANZ when our position is out of the money).
Collateral for off balance sheet positions is mainly held against undrawn facilities, and they are typically
performance bonds or guarantees. Undrawn facilities that are secured include housing loans secured by
mortgages over residential property and business lending secured by commercial real estate and/or charges
over business assets.

MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES
Market risk stems from ANZ’s trading and balance sheet management activities, the impact of changes and correlation between interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, credit spreads and volatility in bond, commodity or equity prices.
The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of both market risks and compliance with market risk policies to the Credit & Market Risk
Committee (CMRC) and the Group Asset & Liability Committee (GALCO).
Within overall strategies and policies established by the BRC, business units and risk management have joint responsibility for the control of market
risk at the Group level. The Market Risk team (a specialist risk management unit independent of the business) allocates market risk limits at various
levels and monitors and reports on them daily. This detailed framework allocates individual limits to manage and control exposures using risk factors
and profit and loss limits.
Management, measurement and reporting of market risk is undertaken in two broad categories:
Traded Market Risk
Non-Traded Market Risk
Risk of loss from changes in the value of financial instruments due
to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative
trading positions. Principal risk categories monitored are:
1. Currency risk – potential loss arising from changes in foreign
exchange rates or their implied volatilities.
2. Interest rate risk – potential loss from changes in market
interest rates or their implied volatilities.
3. Credit spread risk – potential loss arising from a movement in
margin or spread relative to a benchmark.
4. Commodity risk – potential loss arising from changes in
commodity prices or their implied volatilities.
5. Equity risk – potential loss arising from changes in equity prices.
Risk of loss associated with the management of non-traded interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and foreign exchange exposures. This includes interest rate risk
in the banking book. This risk of loss arises from adverse changes in the
overall and relative level of interest rates for different tenors, differences in
the actual versus expected net interest margin, and the potential valuation
risk associated with embedded options in financial instruments and bank
products.
MEASUREMENT OF MARKET RISK
We primarily manage and control market risk using Value at Risk (VaR), sensitivity analysis and stress testing.
VaR gauges the Group’s possible daily loss based on historical market movements.
The Group’s VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. We use historical changes in market rates, prices and
volatilities over:
the previous 500 business days, to calculate standard VaR, and
a 1-year stressed period, to calculate stressed VaR.
We calculate traded and non-traded VaR using one-day and ten-day holding periods. For stressed VaR, we use a ten-day period. Back testing is used to
ensure our VaR models remain accurate.
ANZ measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval which means there is a 99% chance that a loss will not exceed the VaR for the relevant holding period.

Non-traded market risk
Balance sheet risk management
The principal objectives of balance sheet risk 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 management
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, namely 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 VaR and scenario analysis (based on the
impact of a 1% rate shock). The table below shows VaR figures for non-traded interest rate risk for the combined Group as well as Australia, New
Zealand and Asia Pacific, Europe and Americas (APEA) geographies which are calculated separately.

MARKET RISK (continued)
We undertake scenario analysis to stress test the impact of extreme events on the Group’s market risk exposures. We model a 1% overnight parallel
positive shift in the yield curve to determine the potential impact on our net interest income over the next 12 months. This is a standard risk measure
which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.
The table below shows the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years, expressed as a percentage of reported net
interest income. A positive number signifies that a rate increase is positive for net interest income over the next 12 months.

EQUITY SECURITIES CLASSIFIED AS AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
Our available-for-sale financial assets contain equity investment holdings which predominantly comprise investments we hold for longer-term
strategic reasons. The market risk impact on these equity investments is not captured by the Group’s VaR processes for traded and non-traded market
risks. Therefore, the Group regularly reviews the valuations of the investments within the portfolio and assesses whether the investments are impaired
based on the recognition and measurement policies set out in Note 11 Available-for-sale Assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK – STRUCTURAL EXPOSURES
Our investment of capital in foreign operations - for example, branches, subsidiaries or associates with functional currencies other than the Australian
Dollar - exposes the Group to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates. Variations in the value of these foreign operations arising as a result of
exchange differences are reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
Where it is considered appropriate, the Group takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated revenue streams (primarily
New Zealand Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). The primary objective of hedging is to ensure that, if practical, the consolidated capital ratios
are neutral to the effect of changes in exchange rates.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK
LIQUIDITY RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is either:
unable to meet its payment obligations (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) when they fall due; or
does not have the appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and liquidity to fund increases in its assets.
Management of liquidity and funding risks are overseen by GALCO. The Group’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a set of principles
approved by the BRC and include:
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;
ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements;
preparing daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis to quantify the Group’s positions;
targeting a diversified funding base to avoid undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency;
holding a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to protect against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day operations; and
establishing detailed contingency plans to cover different liquidity crisis events.
KEY AREAS OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIQUIDITY RISK
Scenario modelling of funding sources
ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite is defined by a range of regulatory and internal liquidity metrics mandated by the Board. The metrics cover a range of
scenarios of varying duration and level of severity.
A key component of this framework is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which is a severe short term liquidity stress scenario mandated by banking
regulators including APRA. As part of meeting LCR requirements, the Group has a Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) with the Reserve Bank of Australia.
The CLF has been established to offset the shortage of available High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) in Australia and provides an alternative form of
contingent liquidity. The total amount of the CLF available to a qualifying Australian Deposit-taking Institution is set annually by APRA. From 1 January
2018, ANZ’s CLF is $46.9 billion (2017 calendar year end: $43.8 billion).
Liquid assets
The Group holds a portfolio of high quality (unencumbered) liquid assets to protect the Group’s liquidity position in a severely stressed environment,
to meet regulatory requirements. HQLA comprise three categories consistent with Basel III LCR requirements:
HQLA1 – Cash and highest credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide
same-day liquidity.
HQLA2 – High credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate debt securities and high quality covered
bonds eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.
Alternative liquid assets (ALA) – Assets qualifying as collateral for the CLF and eligible securities that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will
accept in its domestic market operations.
LIQUIDITY RISK OUTCOMES1
Liquidity Coverage Ratio
ANZ’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) averaged 138% for 2018, an increase from the 2017 average of 135%, and above the regulatory minimum
of 100%.
Net Stable Funding Ratio
ANZ’s Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as at 30 September 2018 was 115%, above the regulatory minimum of 100%.

RESIDUAL CONTRACTUAL MATURITY ANALYSIS OF GROUP’S LIABILITIES
The tables below provides residual contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities, including financial liabilities reclassified to held for sale, at 30
September within relevant maturity groupings. All outstanding debt issuance and subordinated debt is profiled on the earliest date on which the
Group may be required to pay. All at-call liabilities are reported in the “Less than 3 months” category. Any other items without a specified maturity
date are included in the “After 5 years” category. The amounts represent principal and interest cash flows - so they may differ from equivalent amounts
reported on balance sheet. For the purpose of this note, assets presented as asset held for sale in the Balance Sheet have been reallocated to their
respective Balance Sheet categories.
It should be noted that this is not how the Group manages its liquidity risk. The management of this risk is detailed on page 121.

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Group carries a significant number of financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. In addition the Group also holds assets
classified as held for sale which are measured at fair value less costs to sell. The fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be
received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
VALUATION
The Group has an established control framework, including appropriate segregation of duties, to ensure that fair values are accurately determined,
reported and controlled. The framework includes the following features:
products are approved for transacting with external customers and counterparties only where fair values can be appropriately determined;
quoted market prices used to value financial instruments are independently verified with information from external pricing providers;
fair value methodologies and inputs are evaluated and approved by a function independent of the party that undertakes the transaction;
movements in fair values are independently monitored and explained by reference to underlying factors relevant to the fair value; and
valuation adjustments (such as funding valuation adjustments, credit valuation adjustments and bid-offer adjustments) are independently
validated and monitored.
If the Group holds offsetting risk positions, then the Group uses the portfolio exception in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13) to measure the
fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. We measure the portfolio based on the price that would be received to sell a net
long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.
Fair value designation
We designate certain loans and advances and certain deposits and other borrowings and debt issuances as fair value through profit or loss:
where they contain a separable embedded derivative which significantly modifies the instruments’ cash flow; or
in order to eliminate an accounting mismatch which would arise if the asset or liabilities were otherwise carried at amortised cost. This mismatch
arises as we measure the derivative financial instruments (which we acquired to mitigate interest rate risk of the assets or liabilities) at fair value
through profit or loss.
Our approach ensures that we recognise the fair value movements on the assets or liabilities in profit or loss in the same period as the movement on
the associated derivatives.
We may also designate certain loans and advances, certain deposits and other borrowings and debt issuances as fair value through profit or loss
where they are managed on a fair value basis to align the measurement with how the instruments are managed.
FAIR VALUE APPROACH AND VALUATION TECHNIQUES
We use valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted
price in an active market exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:
Asset or Liability
Financial instruments classified as:
- Trading securities
- Securities sold short
- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities
- Available-for-sale assets
Financial instruments classified as:
- Net loans and advances
- Deposits and other borrowings
- Debt issuances
Fair Value Approach
Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial
instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics. Equity
instruments that are not traded in active markets may be measured using comparable
company valuation multiples.
Discounted cash flow techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of
the instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market
borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities or yield curve appropriate for the
remaining term to maturity.
Assets and liabilities held for sale
Valuation based on the expected sale price before transaction costs.

1. Assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale include only the components of assets or liabilities held for sale which are financial instruments.
FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
The Group categorises assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by AASB 13 based on the observability of inputs
used to measure the fair value:
Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly; and
Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.

1. Of the assets and liabilities held at the end of 2018, during the year, we transferred:
$676 million (2017: nil) from Level 1 to Level 3 following a change in the valuation approach used to measure the investment in Bank of Tianjin;
$953 million (2017: $44 million) from Level 2 to Level 1 following increased trading activity to support the quoted prices;
There was no material transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 (2017: $713 million).
Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.
2. The amount classified as Assets and Liabilities held for sale relates to assets and liabilities measured at fair value less cost to sell in accordance with AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations. The amount presented reflects fair value excluding cost to sell but including intercompany eliminations.
3. Policy liabilities relate only to life investment contract liabilities, as we designated these at fair value through profit or loss.
4. Payables and other liabilities relates to securities sold short, which we classify as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT INCORPORATING UNOBSERVABLE MARKET DATA
Level 3 fair value measurements
The net balance of Level 3 is an asset of $1,096 million (2017: $573 million). The assets and liabilities which incorporate significant unobservable inputs
primarily include:
equities for which there is no active market or traded prices cannot be observed;
structured credit products for which credit spreads and default probabilities relating to the reference assets and derivative counterparties cannot
be observed;
other derivatives referencing market rates that cannot be observed primarily due to lack of market activity.
Movement in the Level 3 balance are due to the following transfers:
investment backing policy liabilities being classified as Level 2 on transfer to assets held for sale following the agreed sale of the Wealth
businesses, and;
our available-for-sale investment in Bank of Tianjin has been transferred to Level 3 following a change in the valuation approach used to measure
the asset.
There were no other material transfers in or out of Level 3 during the period.

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)
Bank of Tianjin (BoT)
A revised valuation technique was applied to the investment in BoT as the Group considers that, in light of persistent illiquidity, the share price of BoT
is not representative of fair value. The investment is valued based on comparative price-to-book (P/B) multiples (a P/B multiple is the ratio of the
market value of equity to the book value of equity). The extent of judgment applied in determining the appropriate multiple and comparator group
from which the multiple is derived are non-observable inputs which have resulted in the Level 3 classification. The application of this valuation
approach resulted in a $349 million increase in the carrying value of the investment during the period to $1,025 million. The increase has been
recognised as an unrealised gain in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve within shareholders’ equity and accordingly, there is no impact from this
revaluation on the Income Statement for the September 2018 financial year.
The movement in Investments backing policy liabilities classified as Level 3 is predominantly due to reclassification of the balance as asset held for
sale. Aside from this movement, there have been no significant movements or changes in the composition of the balance of Level 3 instruments that
the Group carries at fair value during the current or prior periods.
Sensitivity to Level 3 data inputs
When we make assumptions due to significant inputs not being directly observable in the market place (Level 3 inputs), then changing these
assumptions changes the Group’s estimate of the instrument’s fair value. Favourable and unfavourable changes are determined by changing the
primary unobservable parameter used to derive the valuation.
Bank of Tianjin (BoT)
The valuation of the BoT investment is sensitive to the selected unobservable input, being the P/B multiple. If the P/B multiple was increased or
decreased by 10% it would result in a $102 million increase or decrease to the fair value of the investment, which would be recognised in
shareholders’ equity.
Other
The remaining Level 3 balance is immaterial and changes in the Level 3 inputs have a minimal impact on net profit and net assets of the Group.
Deferred fair value gains and losses
Where fair values are determined using unobservable inputs significant to the fair value of a financial instrument, the Group does not immediately
recognise the difference between the transaction price and the amount we determine based on the valuation technique (day one gain or loss) in
profit or loss. After initial recognition, we recognise the deferred amount in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the life of the transaction or until
all inputs become observable.
The day one gains and losses deferred are not material.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The following table sets out the Group’s basis of estimating fair values of financial instruments carried at amortised cost:
Financial Asset and Liability
Net loans and advances to banks
Net loans and advances to customers
Deposit liability without a specified maturity or at call
Fair Value Approach
Discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for loans with similar
credit quality.
Present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve that incorporates
changes in wholesale market rates, the Group’s cost of wholesale funding and the
customer margin, as appropriate.
The amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We do not adjust the fair
value for any value we expect the Group to derive from retaining the deposit for a
future period.
Interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and other
borrowings and acceptances with quoted market rates
Market borrowing rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to
discount contractual cash flows to derive the fair value.
Debt issuances
Calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs as applicable. If
quoted market prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model using a
yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument.
The fair value reflects adjustments to credit spreads applicable to ANZ for
that instrument.

2. We have reviewed the fair value of Net loans and advances previously presented as Level 2. In line with broader industry practice Net loans and advances other than Loans to Banks are now presented as
Level 3.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Group evaluates the material accuracy of the valuations incorporated in the financial statements as they can involve a high degree
of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date.
The majority of valuation models the Group uses employ only observable market data as inputs. However, for certain financial
instruments, we may use data that is not readily observable in current markets. If we use unobservable market data, then we need to
exercise more judgement to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation.
Generally, we derive unobservable inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices
where available.
When establishing the fair value of a financial instrument using a valuation technique, the Group considers valuation adjustments in
determining the fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as bid/offer spreads, credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation
adjustments – refer Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments) to the techniques used to reflect the Group’s assessment of factors that
market participants would consider in setting fair value.

19. OFFSETTING
We offset financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet (in accordance with AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation) when there is:
a current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts in all circumstances; and
an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
If the above conditions are not met, the financial assets and financial liabilities are presented on a gross basis.
The Group does not have any arrangements that satisfy the conditions necessary to offset financial assets and financial liabilities within the balance
sheet. The following table identifies financial assets and financial liabilities which have not been offset but are subject to enforceable master netting
agreements (or similar arrangements) and the related amounts not offset in the balance sheet. We have not taken into account the effect of

1. Goodwill excludes notional goodwill in equity accounted investments.
2. ANZ has accelerated the amortisation of certain software assets, predominantly relating to the Institutional division. This follows a recent review of the international business along with a number of
divestments announced or completed this year. Accelerated amortisation expense of $251m ($206 million post-tax) attributable to these assets has been recorded in the 2018 financial year.
3. In 2018, this relates to discontinued operations (refer to Note 29) and in 2017 this relates to the sale of the Retail Asia and Wealth businesses.
GOODWILL ALLOCATED TO CASH-GENERATING UNITS (CGUs)
An annual assessment is made as to whether the current carrying value of goodwill is impaired. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated at the date of acquisition to a CGU. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the relevant CGU exceeds its
recoverable amount.
To estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated, we use a fair value less cost of disposal assessment
approach for each segment.
FAIR VALUE LESS COST OF DISPOSAL
The Group has determined, using a market multiple approach, the fair value less costs of disposal of each CGU. This is primarily based on observable
price earnings multiples reflecting the businesses and markets in which each CGU operates plus a control premium. The earnings are based on the
current forecast earnings of the divisions. As at 30 September 2018, our impairment testing did not result in any material impairment being identified.
For each of ANZ’s CGUs with goodwill, the price earnings multiples applied were as follows:
Division
Australia
Institutional
New Zealand
Wealth Australia1
Asia Retail & Pacific2

1. In 2017, Wealth Australia goodwill was tested for impairment using a value-in-use calculation as various strategic options were being considered for components of the Wealth CGU. In 2018, testing is based
on the retained businesses of Wealth Australia and the associated goodwill.
2. Due to the sale of Asia Retail and Wealth businesses, testing of goodwill is based on Pacific earnings only.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The table below details how we recognise and measure different intangible assets:
Intangible
Definition
Goodwill
Software
Excess amount the Group has
paid in acquiring a business over
the fair value less costs of disposal
of the identifiable assets and
liabilities acquired.
Purchases of “off the shelf’ software
assets are capitalised as assets.
Internal and external costs incurred in
building software and computer
systems costing greater than $20 million
are capitalised as assets. Those less than
$20 million are expensed in the year in
which the costs are incurred.
Other Intangible Assets
Management fee rights
Carrying value
Cost less any accumulated
impairment losses.
Allocated to the cash generating
unit to which the
acquisition relates.
Useful life
Indefinite.
Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment at least annually or
when there is an indication of
impairment.
Initially, measured at cost.
Subsequently, carried at cost less
accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses.
Initially, measured at fair value at
acquisition.
Subsequently, carried at cost less
impairment losses.
Costs incurred in planning or evaluating
software proposals or in maintaining
systems after implementation are
not capitalised.
Except for major core infrastructure,
amortised over periods between
3-5 years.
Major core infrastructure amortised over
periods between 7 or 10 years.
Management fee rights with an
indefinite life are reviewed for
impairment at least annually or where
there is an indication of impairment.
Depreciation
method
Not applicable.
Straight-line method.
Not applicable.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Management judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill, and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life of an
asset (or if an asset has an indefinite life). We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.
The carrying amount of goodwill is based on judgements including the basis of assumptions and forecasts used for determining earnings
for CGUs, headroom availability, and sensitivities of the forecasts to reasonably possible changes in assumptions. The level at which
goodwill is allocated, the estimation of future earnings and the selection of earnings multiples applied requires significant judgement.
At each balance date, software and other intangible assets, including those not yet ready for use, are assessed for indicators of impairment.
In the event that an asset’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than its recoverable amount, the carrying value of the asset is
written down immediately.
In addition, the expected useful life of intangible assets, including software assets, are assessed on an annual basis. The assessment requires
management judgement, and in relation to our software assets, a number of factors can influence the expected economic useful lives.
These factors include changes to business strategy, significant divestments and the underlying pace of technological change. In the
current year, the assessment of useful economic life of software assets resulted in accelerated amortisation of certain software assets in the
Institutional and Australia divisions of $251 million.

Customer remediation
Customer remediation refers to the Group’s activities in relation to compensating customers for past matters associated with products and
services provided.
Restructuring costs
Provisions for restructuring costs 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 include employee termination benefits. Costs relating to on-going activities are not provided
for and are expensed as incurred.
Non-lending losses, frauds and forgeries
Non-lending losses include losses arising from specific legal actions not directly related to amounts of principal outstanding for loans and
advances and losses arising from forgeries, frauds and the correction of operational issues. The amounts recognised are the best estimate of the
consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties that surround the
events and circumstances that affect the provision.
Other
Other provisions comprise various other provisions including loyalty programs, workers compensation, make-good provisions associated with
leased premises and contingent liabilities recognised as part of a business combination.

21. OTHER PROVISIONS (continued)
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation, an outflow of economic resources 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. Where a provision is measured using the estimated cash flows required to
settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The Group holds provisions for various obligations including customer remediation, restructuring costs and surplus lease space, non-
lending losses, fraud and forgeries and litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the outcome of future
events, including estimates of expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and,
in light of such advice, provisions and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made.
In relation to customer remediation, determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the cost
of settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number of
different assumptions, including, the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer and the associated remediation
costs. Consequently, the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other
relevant evidence and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

22. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares have no par value. They entitle holders to receive dividends, or
proceeds available on winding up of the Company, in proportion to the number of fully
paid ordinary shares held. They are recognised at the amount paid per ordinary share
net of directly attributable costs. Every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present at a
meeting in person, or by proxy, is entitled to:
on a show of hands, one vote; and
on a poll, one vote, for each share held.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are shares in the Company which:
the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan purchases on market and have not yet
distributed, or
the Company issues to the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and have not yet been
distributed, or
the life insurance business purchases and holds to back policy liabilities in the
statutory funds.
Treasury shares are deducted from share capital and excluded from the weighted average
number of ordinary shares used in the earnings per share calculations.
Includes differences arising on translation of assets and liabilities into Australian dollars when
the functional currency of a foreign operation (including subsidiaries and branches) is not
Australian dollars. In this reserve, we reflect any offsetting gains or losses on hedging these
exposures, together with any tax effect.
Includes fair value gains and losses associated with the effective portion of designated cash
flow hedging instruments, net of deferred taxes to be realised when the position is settled.
Includes the changes in fair value and exchange differences on our revaluation of available-
for-sale financial assets, net of deferred taxes to be realised upon disposal of the asset.
Reserves:
Foreign currency translation reserve
Cash flow hedge reserve
Available-for-sale reserve
Share option reserve
Includes amounts which arise on the recognition of share-based compensation expense.
Transactions with non-controlling
interests reserve
Includes the impact of transactions with non-controlling shareholders in their capacity
as shareholders.
Non-controlling interests
Share in the net assets of controlled entities attributable to equity interests which the
Company does not own directly or indirectly.

23. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
ANZ’s capital management strategy aims to protect the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders. We achieve this through an Internal
Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) whereby ANZ conducts detailed strategic and capital planning over a 3 year time horizon.
The process involves:
forecasting economic variables, financial performance of ANZ’s divisions and the financial impact of new strategic initiatives to be implemented
during the planning period;
performing stress tests under different economic scenarios to determine the level of additional capital (‘stress capital buffer’) needed to absorb
losses that may be experienced under an economic downturn;
reviewing capital ratios and targets across various classes of capital against ANZ’s risk profile; and
developing a capital plan, taking into account capital ratio targets, current and future capital issuances requirements and options around capital
products, timing and markets to execute the capital plan under differing market and economic conditions.
The capital plan is approved by the Board and updated as required. The Board and senior management are provided with regular updates of ANZ’s
capital position. Any material actions required to ensure ongoing prudent capital management are submitted to the Board for approval. Throughout
the year, the Group maintained compliance with all the regulatory requirements related to Capital Adequacy in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Australia
As ANZ is an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) in Australia, it is primarily regulated by APRA under the Banking Act 1959 (Cth). ANZ must
comply with the minimum regulatory capital requirements, prudential capital ratios and specific reporting levels that APRA sets and which are
consistent with the global Basel III capital framework. This is the common framework for determining the appropriate level of bank regulatory capital
as set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”). APRA requirements are summarised below:
Regulatory Capital Definition
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital
Tier 1 Capital
Tier 2 Capital
Total Capital
Shareholders’ equity adjusted for
specific items.
CET1 Capital plus certain securities
with complying loss absorbing
characteristics known as
Additional Tier 1 Capital.
Subordinated debt instruments
which have a minimum term of 5
years at issue date.
Tier 1 plus Tier 2 Capital.
Minimum Prudential Capital Ratios (PCRs)
CET1 Ratio
Tier 1 Ratio
Total Capital Ratio
CET1 Capital divided by total risk
weighted assets must be at least 4.5%.
Tier 1 Capital divided by total risk
weighted assets must be at least
6.0%.
Total Capital divided by total risk weighted
assets must be at least 8.0%.
Reporting Levels
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
The ADI on a stand-alone basis (that is
the Company and specified subsidiaries
which are consolidated to form the
ADI’s Extended Licensed Entity).
The consolidated Group less
certain subsidiaries and associates
that are excluded under
prudential standards.
APRA also requires the ADI to hold additional CET1 buffers as follows:
A conglomerate Group at the widest level.
A capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 3.5% which is inclusive of the additional 1% surcharge for domestically systemically important banks (D-SIBs).
APRA has determined that ANZ is a D-SIB.
A countercyclical capital buffer which is set on a jurisdictional basis. The requirement is currently set to zero for Australia.
ANZ reports to APRA on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis, and measures capital adequacy monthly on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis, and is not yet required to
maintain capital on a Level 3 basis until at least 2019 (APRA have yet to conclude required timing for Level 3 reporting).
Life Insurance and Funds Management
As required by APRA’s Prudential Standards, insurance and funds management activities are:
de-consolidated for the purposes of calculating capital adequacy; and
excluded from the risk based capital adequacy framework.
We deduct the investment in these controlled entities 100% from CET1 capital, and if we include any profits from these activities in the Group’s results,
then we exclude them from the determination of CET1 capital to the extent they have not been remitted to the Company.

In addition to APRA, the Company’s branch operations and major banking subsidiary operations are also 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 and Insurance Regulatory Commission. They may impose minimum capitalisation levels on operations in
their individual jurisdictions.

25. CONTROLLED ENTITIES (continued)
ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF CONTROLLED ENTITIES
We did not acquire, or dispose of, any material entities during the year ended 30 September 2018 or the year ended 30 September 2017.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group’s subsidiaries are those entities it controls through:
being exposed to, or having rights to, variable returns from the entity; and
being able to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The Group assesses whether it has power over those entities by examining the Group’s existing rights to direct the relevant activities of
the entity.
If the Group sells or acquires subsidiaries during the year, it includes their operating results in the Group results to the date of disposal or
from the date of acquisition. When the Group’s control ceases, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any related non-
controlling interest and other components of equity.
When the Group ceases to control a subsidiary, it:
measures any retained interest in the entity at fair value; and
recognises any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss.
If the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes in a way that does not result in a loss of control, then the Group accounts for
that as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders.
All transactions between Group entities are eliminated on consolidation.

26. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (continued)
IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT
On 3 January 2017, the Group announced that it had agreed to sell its 20% stake in Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank (SRCB). During 2017, based on
the agreed purchase price less costs of disposal, an impairment of $219 million was recorded against the carrying value to reflect the recoverable
amount of the investment which was transferred to held for sale assets (refer to Note 29 Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for
Sale). This impairment and subsequent foreign exchange translation adjustments have been recognised in other operating income (refer to Note 2
Operating Income). The sale was completed in December 2017 and SRCB is no longer classified as held for sale.
As at 30 September 2018, for AMMB Holdings Berhad (AmBank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin), the market value (based on share price) was
below the respective carrying values of these investments. The Group performed value-in-use (VIU) calculations to assess whether the carrying value
of the investments was impaired. The VIU calculations supported the carrying value for both AmBank (2017: nil impairment) and PT Panin
(2017: nil impairment).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence over its operating and financial policies but does not control. The
Group accounts for associates using the equity method. Its investments in associates are carried at cost plus the post-acquisition share of
changes in the associate’s net assets less accumulated impairments. Dividends the Group receives from associates are recognised as a
reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. The Group includes goodwill relating to the associate in the carrying amount of the
investment. It does not individually test the goodwill incorporated in the associates carrying amount for impairment.
At least at each reporting date, the Group reviews investments in associates for any indication of impairment. If an indication of impairment
exists, then the Group determines the recoverable amount of the associate using the higher of:
the associate’s fair value less cost of disposal; and
its value-in use.
We use a discounted cash flow methodology, and other methodologies (such as capitalisation of earnings methodology), to determine the
recoverable amount.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The value-in-use calculation is sensitive to a number of key assumptions requiring management judgement, including: future profitability
levels, capital levels, long term growth rates and discount rates. A change in any of the key assumptions below could have an adverse
effect on the recoverable amount of the investments. The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculation are outlined below:

27. STRUCTURED ENTITIES
A Structured Entity (SE) is an entity that has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the
entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s
returns) are directed by means of contractual arrangement. A SE often has some or all of the following features or attributes:
restricted activities;
a narrow and well defined objective;
insufficient equity to permit the SE to finance its activities without subordinated financial support; and
financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).
The Group is involved with both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs which may be established by the Group or by a third party. SEs are classified as
subsidiaries and consolidated when control exists. If the Group does not control a SE, then it will not be consolidated (an unconsolidated SE). This note
provides information on both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs.
The Group’s involvement with SEs is as follows:
Type
Securitisation
Covered bond issuances
Structured finance
arrangements
Funds management activities
Details
The Group uses SEs to securitise customer loans and advances that it has originated, in order to diversify sources
of funding for liquidity management. Such transactions involve transfers to an internal securitisation (bankruptcy
remote) vehicle which we create for the purpose of structuring assets that are eligible for repurchase under
agreements with the applicable central bank (these are known as ‘Repo eligible’). The Group’s internal
securitisation SEs are consolidated. Refer to Note 28 Transfers of Financial Assets for further details.
The Group also establishes SEs on behalf of customers to securitise their loans or receivables. The Group may
manage these securitisation vehicles or provide liquidity or other support. Additionally, the Group may acquire
interests in securitisation vehicles set up by third parties through holding securities issued by such entities. In
limited circumstances, where control exists, these SEs are consolidated.
Certain loans and advances have been assigned to bankruptcy remote SEs to provide security for issuances of
debt securities by the Group. The Group retains control over these SEs and therefore they are consolidated. Refer
to Note 28 Transfers of Financial Assets for further details.
The Group is involved with SEs established:
in connection with structured lending transactions to facilitate debt syndication and/or to ring-fence
collateral; and
to own assets that are leased to customers in structured leasing transactions.
The Group may manage the SE, hold minor amounts of the SE’s capital, or provide risk management products
(derivatives) to the SE.
In most instances, the Group does not control these SEs. Further, the Group’s involvement typically does not
establish more than a passive interest in decisions about the relevant activities of the SE, and accordingly we do
not consider that interest disclosable.
The Group’s Wealth Australia and New Zealand businesses conduct investment management and other fiduciary
activities as a responsible entity, trustee, custodian or manager for investment funds and trusts – including
superannuation funds and wholesale and retail trusts (collectively ‘Investment Funds’). The Investment Funds are
financed through the issue of puttable units to investors and the Group considers them to be SEs. The Group’s
exposure to Investment Funds includes holding units and receiving fees for services. When the Group invests in
Investment Funds on behalf of policyholders, then those funds are consolidated if control is deemed to exist.

27. STRUCTURED ENTITIES (continued)
CONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES
Financial or Other Support Provided to Consolidated Structured Entities
The Group provides financial support to consolidated SEs as outlined below. As these are intra-group transactions, they are eliminated
on consolidation:
Securitisation and covered
bond issuances
The Group provides lending facilities, derivatives and commitments to these SEs and/or holds debt instruments
that they have issued.
Structured finance
arrangements
The assets held by these SEs are normally pledged as collateral for financing provided. Certain consolidated SEs
are financed entirely by the Group while others are financed by syndicated loan facilities in which the Group is a
participant. The financing provided by the Group includes lending facilities where the Group’s exposure is limited
to the amount of the loan and any undrawn amount. Additionally, the Group has provided Letters of Support to
these consolidated SEs confirming that the Group will not demand repayment of the financing provided for the
ensuing 12 month period.
The Group did not provide any non-contractual support to consolidated SEs during the year (2017: nil). Other than as disclosed above, the Group does
not have any current intention to provide financial or other support to consolidated SEs.
UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES
Group’s Interest in Unconsolidated Structured Entities
An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated SE is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement with a SE that exposes the Group to variability of
returns from the performance of that SE. These interests include, but are not limited to: holdings of debt or equity securities; derivatives that pass-on
risks specific to the performance of the SE; lending; loan commitments; financial guarantees; and fees from funds management activities.
For the purpose of disclosing interests in unconsolidated SEs:
no disclosure is made if the Group’s involvement is not more than a passive interest - for example: when the Group’s involvement constitutes a
typical customer-supplier relationship. On this basis, exposures to unconsolidated SEs that arise from lending, trading and investing activities are
not considered disclosable interests - unless the design of the structured entity allows the Group to participate in decisions about the relevant
activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns).
‘interests’ do not include derivatives intended to expose the Group to market-risk (rather than performance risk specific to the SE) or derivatives
through which the Group creates, rather than absorbs, variability of the unconsolidated SE (such as purchase of credit protection under a credit
default swap).
The table below sets out the Group’s interests in unconsolidated SEs together with the maximum exposure to loss that could arise from
those interests:

27. STRUCTURED ENTITIES (continued)
Group’s Interest in Unconsolidated Structured Entities (continued)
The Group’s maximum exposure to loss represents the maximum amount of loss that the Group could incur as a result of its involvement with
unconsolidated SEs if loss events were to take place — regardless of the probability of occurrence. This does not in any way represent the actual losses
expected to be incurred. Instead, the maximum exposure to loss is contingent in nature — for example, it may arise: on the bankruptcy of an issuer of
securities, or a debtor; or if liquidity facilities or guarantees were to be called on. Furthermore, the maximum exposure to loss is stated gross of the
effects of hedging and collateral arrangements entered into to mitigate ANZ’s exposure to loss.
For each type of interest, the maximum exposure to loss has been determined as follows:
available-for-sale assets and investments backing policy liabilities – carrying amount; and
loans and advances – carrying amount plus the undrawn amount of any commitments.
Information about the size of the unconsolidated SEs that the Group is involved with is as follows:
Securitisation and structured finance: size is indicated by total assets which vary by SE with a maximum value of approximately $1.0 billion (2017:
$2.1 billion); and
Investment funds: size is indicated by Funds Under Management which vary by SE with a maximum value of approximately $36.9 billion (2017:
$35.9 billion).
The Group did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2017: nil): nor does it have any current intention to
provide financial or other support to unconsolidated SEs.
SPONSORED UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES
The Group may also sponsor unconsolidated SEs in which it has no disclosable interest.
For the purposes of this disclosure, the Group considers itself the ‘sponsor’ of an unconsolidated SE if it is the primary party involved in the design and
establishment of that SE and:
the Group is the major user of that SE; or
the Group’s name appears in the name of that SE, or on its products; or
the Group provides implicit or explicit guarantees of that SE’s performance.
The Group has sponsored the ANZ PIE Fund in New Zealand, which invests only in deposits with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited. The Group does not
provide any implicit or explicit guarantees of the capital value or performance of investments in the ANZ PIE Fund. There was no income received
from, nor assets transferred to, this entity during the year.
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Significant judgement is required in assessing whether control exists over Structured Entities involved in securitisation activities and
structured finance transactions, and investment funds. Judgement is required in relation to the existence of:
power over the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); and
exposure to variable returns of that entity.

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
28. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
In the normal course of business the Group enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets directly to third parties or to SEs. These transfers
may give rise to the Group fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on the Group’s exposure to the risks and rewards or
control over the transferred assets. If the Group retains substantially all of the risk and rewards of a transferred asset, the transfer does not qualify for
derecognition and the asset remains on the Group’s balance sheet in its entirety.
SECURITISATIONS
Net loans and advances include residential mortgages securitised under the Group’s securitisation programs which are assigned to bankruptcy
remote SEs to provide security for obligations payable on the notes issued by the SEs. This includes mortgages that are held for potential repurchase
agreements with central banks. The holders of the issued notes have full recourse to the pool of residential mortgages which have been securitised
and the Group cannot otherwise pledge or dispose of the transferred assets.
In some instances the Group is also the holder of the securitised notes. In addition, the Group is entitled to any residual income of the SEs and
sometimes enters into derivatives with the SEs. The Group retains the majority of the risks and rewards of the residential mortgages and continues to
recognise the mortgages as financial assets. The obligation to pay this amount to the SE is recognised as a financial liability of the Group.
The Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with these securitisation SEs and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power over the SEs activities. The SEs are therefore consolidated by the Group.
COVERED BONDS
The Group operates various global covered bond programs to raise funding in its primary markets. Net loans and advances include residential
mortgages assigned to bankruptcy remote SEs associated with these covered bond programs. The mortgages provide security for the obligations
payable on the issued covered bonds.
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, subject to legal arrangements it may repurchase and substitute assets as long as the required cover is maintained.
The Group is required to maintain the cover pool at a level sufficient to cover the bond obligations. In addition, the Group is entitled to any residual
income of the covered bond SEs and enters into derivatives with the SEs. The Group retains the majority of the risks and rewards of the residential
mortgages and continues to recognise the mortgages as financial assets. The obligation to pay this amount to the SEs is recognised as a financial
liability of the Group.
The Group is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the covered bond SEs and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the SEs activities. The SEs are therefore consolidated by the Group. The covered bonds issued externally are included within debt issuances.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
If the Group sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the Group,
then those assets are considered to be transferred assets that do not qualify for derecognition. An associated liability is recognised for the
consideration received from the counterparty.
STRUCTURED FINANCE ARRANGEMENTS
The Group arranges funding for certain customer transactions through structured leasing and commodity prepayment arrangements. At times, other
financial institutions participate in the funding of these arrangements. This participation involves a proportionate transfer of the rights to the lease
receivable or financing arrangement. The participating banks have limited recourse to the leased assets or financed commodity and related proceeds.
In some circumstances the Group continues to be exposed to some of the risks of the transferred lease receivable or financing arrangement through a
derivative or other continuing involvement. When this occurs, the Group does not derecognise the lease receivable or loan. Instead, the Group
recognises an associated liability representing its obligations to the participating financial institutions.
The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities:

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On 17 October 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its OnePath pensions and investments (OnePath P&I) and aligned dealer groups
(ADG) businesses to IOOF Holdings Limited. The aligned dealer groups business consists of aligned advice businesses that operate under their own
Australian Financial Services licences. The sale of the aligned dealer groups business completed on 1 October 2018. The completion of the remaining
OnePath pensions and investment business will occur after the successful completion of the successor fund transfer, which is expected to occur in the
2019 financial year.
On 12 December 2017, ANZ announced that it had agreed to the sale of its life insurance business to Zurich Financial Services Australia (Zurich) and
regulatory approval was obtained on 10 October 2018. The transaction is subject to closing conditions and ANZ expects it to complete in the 2019
financial year.
As a result of the sale transactions outlined above, the financial results of the businesses to be divested and associated Group reclassification and
consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective. This impacts the current and comparative
financial information for Wealth Australia and TSO and Group Centre divisions.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
At 30 September 2018, assets and liabilities held for sale are re-measured at the lower of their existing carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell,
except for assets such as deferred tax assets, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this
requirement and continue to be recognised at their existing carrying value.
In addition to the assets and liabilities associated with the Group’s discontinued operations, assets and liabilities held for sale contain the assets and
liabilities of other assets or disposal groups, subject to sale, which do not meet the criteria to classify as a discontinued operation under the
accounting standards.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACT LIABILITIES AND LIABILITIES CEDED UNDER REINSURANCE CONTRACTS
We calculate Life insurance contract Liabilities under the Margin on Service (MoS) model using a projection method based on actuarial
principles and standards.
We discount the expected future cash flows of these contracts at the risk-free discount rate.
LIFE INVESTMENT CONTRACT LIABILITIES
A life investment contract liability is measured at fair value and is directly linked to the fair value of the assets that back it. For guaranteed
policies, we determine the liability as the net present value of expected cash flows, subject to a minimum of current surrender value.
EXTERNAL UNIT HOLDER LIABILITIES
The life insurance business includes controlling interests in investment funds which we aggregate. When we aggregate a controlled
investment fund, we recognise the external unit holder liabilities as a liability and include them on the balance sheet in external unit
holder liabilities.
INVESTMENTS BACKING POLICY LIABILITIES
Our determination of fair value of investments backing policy liabilities involves the same judgement as other financial assets as described
in Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

29. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
(continued)
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
A significant level of judgement is used by the Group to determine:
whether an asset or group of assets is classified and presented as held for sale or as a discontinued operation; and
the fair value of the assets and liabilities classified as being held for sale.
Management is required to exercise significant judgement when assessing the fair value less costs to sell for assets and liabilities held for
sale. The judgemental factors include determining: costs to sell, allocation of goodwill, indemnities provided under the sale contract and
consideration received - particularly where elements of consideration are contingent in nature. Any impairment we record is based on the
best available evidence of fair value compared to the carrying value before the impairment. The final sale price may be different to the fair
value we estimate when recording the impairment. Management regularly assess the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions
against actual outcomes and other relevant evidence and adjustments are made to fair value where appropriate. We expect that the sales
will complete within 12 months after balance date, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals and customary terms of sale for
such assets.
Life Insurance Liabilities continue to be measured in accordance with AASB 1038. The Group is largely insulated from significant changes to
the carrying value of the liability due to the share sale agreements.
Our estimates of life insurance liabilities are affected by: regulation, competition, interest rates, inflation, taxes and general
economic conditions.
We have performed sensitivity analysis on key variables influencing the insurance liabilities and assets - namely: interest, inflation, mortality,
morbidity and discontinuance risk. We have determined that there would be no material impact to the Group for a reasonable change in
any of these variables after taking into account of the share sale agreements.

As at the most recent reporting dates of the schemes, the aggregate surplus of net market value of assets over the value of accrued benefits on a
funding basis was $21 million (2017: deficit of $18 million). In 2018, the Group made defined benefit contributions totalling $5 million (2017: $5
million). It expects to make around $4 million next financial year.
GOVERNANCE OF THE SCHEMES AND FUNDING OF THE DEFINED BENEFIT SECTIONS
The main defined benefit superannuation schemes in which the Group participates operate under trust law and are managed and administered on
behalf of the members in accordance with the terms of the relevant trust deed and rules and all relevant legislation. These schemes have corporate
trustees, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Group. The trustees are the legal owners of the assets, which are held separately from the assets
of the Group, and are responsible for setting investment policy and agreeing funding requirements with the employer through the triennial actuarial
valuation process.
The Group has defined benefit arrangements in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, Taiwan and United Kingdom. The defined benefit section
of the ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme, the ANZ UK Staff Pension Scheme and the ANZ National Retirement Scheme in New Zealand are
the three largest plans. They have been closed to new members since 1987, 2004 and 1991 respectively. None of the schemes had a material deficit,
or surplus, at the last funding valuation. The Group has no present liability under any of the schemes’ trust deeds to fund a deficit (measured on a
funding basis). A contingent liability of the Group may arise if any of the schemes were wound up.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Defined benefit superannuation schemes
The Group operates a small number of defined benefit schemes. Independent actuaries calculate the liability and expenses related to
providing benefits to employees under each defined benefit scheme. They use the Projected Unit Credit Method to value the liabilities. The
balance sheet includes:
a defined benefit liability if the obligation is greater than the fair value of the schemes assets; and
an asset (capped to its recoverable amount) if the fair value of the assets is greater than the obligation.
In each reporting period, the movements in the net defined benefit liability are recognised as follows:
the net movement relating to the current period’s service cost, net interest on the defined benefit liability, past service costs and other
costs (such as the effects of any curtailments and settlements) as operating expenses;
remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (which comprise actuarial gains and losses and return on scheme assets, excluding
interest income included in net interest) directly in retained earnings through other comprehensive income; and
contributions of the Group directly against the net defined benefit position.
Defined contribution superannuation schemes
The Group operates a number of defined contribution schemes. It 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 plans. The Group’s contributions to these
schemes are recognised as personnel expenses when they are incurred.

One week Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of ANZ shares traded on the ASX in the week leading up to and
including the date of grant.
ANZ ordinary shares are granted to eligible employees for nil consideration. The shares vest on grant and are held in
trust for three years from grant date, after which time they may remain in trust, be transferred to the employee’s name
or sold. Dividends are automatically reinvested in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Shares are granted to eligible employees on payment of NZD one cent per share. Shares vest subject to satisfaction of
a three year service period, after which they may remain in trust, be transferred to the employee’s name or sold.
Unvested shares are forfeited if the employee resigns or is dismissed for serious misconduct. Dividends are either paid
in cash or reinvested into the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
In Australia, the fair value of the shares is expensed in the year shares are granted, as they are not subject to forfeiture.
In New Zealand, the fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period.
The expense is recognised as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in share capital.
541,982 shares were granted on 1 December 2017 at an issue price of $28.67.
Zero shares were granted in the 2017 financial year.

Instrument
In exceptional circumstances, we grant deferred shares to certain employees when they start with ANZ to
compensate them for remuneration they have foregone from their previous employer. The vesting period generally
aligns with the remaining vesting period of the remuneration they have foregone, and therefore varies
between grants.
We may grant deferred shares to high performing employees who are regarded as a significant retention risk
to ANZ.
Deferred shares remain at risk and the Board has the discretion to adjust the number of deferred shares downwards
to zero at any time before the vesting date. ANZ’s downward adjustment provisions are detailed in section 4.3.4 of
the 2018 Remuneration Report.
Unless the Board decides otherwise, employees forfeit their unvested deferred shares if they resign, are terminated
on notice, or are dismissed for serious misconduct. The deferred shares may be held in trust beyond the
deferral period.
Dividends are paid in cash or reinvested in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Deferred share rights may be granted instead of deferred shares in some countries as locally appropriate (see
deferred share rights section).
Allocation value
All deferred shares are issued based on the VWAP of ANZ shares traded on the ASX in the week leading up to and
including the date of grant.
Expensing value (fair value) We expense the fair value of deferred shares on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period and we

Expensing value
(fair value)
The fair value of shares we granted during 2018 under the Employee Share Offer and the Deferred Share Plan,
measured as at the date of grant of the shares, is $80.9 million (2017: $56.7 million) based on 2,774,545 shares (2017:
2,016,835) at VWAP of $29.17 (2017: $28.09).
ANZ SHARE OPTION PLAN
Allocation
We may grant selected employees options/rights which entitle them to acquire fully paid ordinary ANZ shares at a
fixed price at the time the options/rights vest. 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.
Exercise price of options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan, is generally based on the VWAP 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.
Rules
Prior to the exercise of the option/right if ANZ changes its share capital due to a bonus share issue, pro-rata new share
issue or reorganisation the following adjustments are required:
Issue of bonus shares - When the holder exercises their option, they are also entitled to be issued the number of
bonus shares they would have been entitled to had they held the underlying shares at the time of the
bonus issue;
Pro-rata share offer - We will adjust the exercise price of the option in the manner set out in the ASX Listing
Rules; and
Reorganisation - In respect of rights, if there is a bonus issue or reorganisation of ANZ’s share capital, then the
Board may adjust the number of rights or the number of underlying shares 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 before they exercise their options/rights; or
in a share issue of a body corporate other than ANZ (such as a subsidiary).
For equity grants made after 1 November 2012, any portion of the award which vests may, at the Board’s discretion,
be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than shares.
Expensing
We expense the fair value of options/rights on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period and we recognise
the expense as a share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in share options reserve.
Cessation
The provisions that apply if the employee’s employment ends are in section 7.2 of the 2018 Remuneration Report.
Downward adjustment
ANZ’s downward adjustment provisions are detailed in section 4.3.4 of the 2018 Remuneration Report.
Option Plans that operated during 2018 and 2017
i) Performance Rights
Allocation
We grant performance rights to selected employees as part of ANZ’s incentive plans. Performance rights provide the
holder with the right to acquire ANZ shares at nil cost, subject to a three year vesting period and Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) performance hurdles. Further details on the performance hurdles are in section 4.3.3 of the 2018
Remuneration Report.

Any portion of the award of share rights may be satisfied by a cash equivalent payment rather than shares at
the Board’s discretion. All share rights were satisfied through a share allocation, other than 108,783 deferred
share rights (2017: 67,573) for which Board discretion was exercised.
Board discretion was also exercised to adjust downward 1,638 deferred share rights to zero in 2018 and 3,835

We do so in accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based Payments. The models take into account early exercise of vested equity, non-
transferability and internal/external performance hurdles (if any).
The table below shows the significant assumptions we used as inputs into our fair value calculation of instruments granted during the period. We

1. Expected volatility represents a measure of the amount by which ANZ’s share price is expected to fluctuate over the life of the 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 deferred 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 rights.
SATISFYING EQUITY AWARDS
All shares underpinning equity awards may be purchased on market, reallocated or be newly issued shares, or a combination.
The equity we purchased on market during the 2018 financial year (either under the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ Share Option
Plan, or to satisfy options or rights) for all employees amounted to 3,936,773 shares at an average price of $29.00 per share (2017: 2,704,206 shares at

UNDRAWN FACILITIES
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 only partially used, and others may never be used at all. As such, the total of the nominal principal amounts is not necessarily
representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements. Based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay, the total
undrawn facilities of $202,531 million (2017: $191,323 million) mature within 12 months.
GUARANTEES, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND PERFORMANCE RELATED CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees, letters of credit and performance related contingencies relate to transactions that the Group has entered into as principal – including:
guarantees, standby letters of credit and documentary letters of credit.
Documentary letters of credit involve the Group issuing letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter. They are 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 if the customer fails to fulfil its non-monetary
obligations under the contract.
To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, we apply the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements that we
apply to loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that we could lose 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. Based
on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay, the total guarantees and letters of credit of $18,441 million (2017: $20,009 million)
and total performance related contingencies of $24,136 million (2017: $20,830 million) mature within 12 months.

OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As at 30 September 2018, the Group had contingent liabilities in respect of the matters outlined below. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been
obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In some instances we have not
disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because such disclosure may prejudice
the interests of the Group.
BANK FEES LITIGATION
A litigation funder commenced a class action against the Company in 2010, followed by a second similar class action in March 2013. The applicants
contended that certain exception fees (honour, dishonour and non-payment fees on transaction accounts and late payment and over-limit fees on
credit cards) were unenforceable penalties and that various of the fees were also unenforceable under statutory provisions governing unconscionable
conduct, unfair contract terms and unjust transactions. A further action, limited to late payment fees only, commenced in August 2014.
The penalty and statutory claims in the March 2013 class action failed and the claims have been dismissed. The August 2014 action was discontinued
in October 2016.
The original claims in the 2010 class action have been dismissed. In 2017, a new claim was added to the 2010 class action, in relation to the Company’s
entitlement to charge certain periodical payment non-payment fees.
BENCHMARK/RATE ACTIONS
In July and August 2016, class action complaints were brought in the United States District Court against local and international banks, including the
Company – one action relating to the bank bill swap rate (BBSW), and one action relating to the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and the
Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR). The class actions are expressed to apply to persons and entities that engaged in US-based transactions in financial
instruments that were priced, benchmarked, and/or settled based on BBSW, SIBOR, or SOR. The claimants seek damages or compensation in amounts
not specified, and allege that the defendant banks, including the Company, violated US anti-trust laws, anti-racketeering laws, the Commodity
Exchange Act, and (in the BBSW case only) unjust enrichment principles. The Company is defending the proceedings. The matters are at an
early stage.
In February 2017, the South African Competition Commission commenced proceedings against local and international banks including the Company
alleging breaches of the cartel provisions of the South African Competition Act in respect of trading in the South African rand. The potential civil
penalty or other financial impact is uncertain. The matter is at an early stage.
CAPITAL RAISING ACTIONS
In June 2018, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions commenced criminal proceedings against the Company and a senior employee
alleging that they were knowingly concerned in cartel conduct by the joint lead managers of the Company’s August 2015 underwritten institutional
equity placement of approximately 80.8 million ordinary shares. The matter is at an early stage. The Company and its senior employee are defending
the allegations.
In September 2018, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) commenced civil penalty proceedings against the Company alleging
failure to comply with continuous disclosure obligations in connection with the Company’s August 2015 underwritten institutional equity placement.
ASIC alleges the Company should have advised the market that the joint lead managers took up approximately 25.5 million ordinary shares of the
placement. The matter is at an early stage. The Company is defending the allegations.
FRANCHISEE LITIGATION
In February 2018, two related class actions were brought against the Company. The primary action alleges that the Company breached contractual
obligations and acted unconscionably when it lent to the applicant, and other 7-Eleven franchisees. The action seeks to set aside the loans to those
franchisees and claims unspecified damages. The second action seeks to set aside related mortgages and guarantees given to the Company. The
matters are at an early stage.
REGULATORY AND CUSTOMER EXPOSURES
In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which the Group engages with its regulators. There have been significant
increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, enforcement actions (whether by court action or otherwise) and the
quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against financial institutions both in Australia and globally. The Group also instigates engagement
with its regulators. The nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, currently include a range of matters including responsible
lending practices, product suitability, wealth advice, pricing and competition, conduct in financial markets and capital market transactions and
product disclosure documentation. The Group has received various notices and requests for information from its regulators as part of both industry-
wide and Group-specific reviews and has also made disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation. There may be exposures to customers which
are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or compensation activities.
The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.

ROYAL COMMISSION
The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry was established on 14 December 2017. The
Commission has been asked to submit its final report by 1 February 2019 (an interim report was released on 28 September 2018). The Commission is
likely to result in additional costs and may lead to further exposures, including exposures associated with further regulator activity or potential
customer exposures such as class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs
associated with these possible exposures remain uncertain.
SECURITY RECOVERY ACTIONS
Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets. These claims will
be defended.
WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES
The Group has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the purchaser and other persons in connection with various
disposals of businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those
warranties, indemnities and commitments.
CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT OBLIGATIONS
Under the following arrangements, the Company has a commitment to comply with rules which could result in a bilateral exposure and loss if a
member institution fails to settle: the Australian Payments Network Limited’s Regulations for the Australian Paper Clearing System, the Bulk Electronic
Clearing System, the Issuers and Acquirers Community and the High Value Clearing System (HVCS). The Company’s potential exposure arising from
these arrangements is unquantifiable in advance.
Under the Austraclear System Regulations (Austraclear), and the CLS Bank International Rules, the Company has a commitment to participate in loss-
sharing arrangements if a member institution fails to settle. The Company’s potential exposure arising from these arrangements is unquantifiable in
advance. For HVCS and Austraclear, the above obligation arises in only limited circumstances.
The Company is a member of various central clearing houses globally, including ASX Clear (Futures), London Clearing House (LCH) SwapClear, Korea
Exchange (KRX), Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) and the Shanghai Clearing House. These memberships allow the Company to centrally clear derivative
instruments in line with cross-border regulatory requirements. Common to all of these memberships is the requirement for the Company to make
default fund contributions. In the event of a default by another member, the Company could potentially be required to commit additional default
fund contributions which are unquantifiable in advance.
PARENT ENTITY GUARANTEES
The Company has issued letters of comfort and guarantees in respect of certain subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Under these letters and
guarantees, the Company undertakes to ensure that those subsidiaries continue to meet their financial obligations, subject to certain conditions
including that the entity remains a controlled entity of the Company.
SALE OF GRINDLAYS BUSINESSES
On 31 July 2000, the Company 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. The
Company 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 liabilities. The issue below has not adversely impacted the reported results. All
settlements and penalties to date have been covered within existing provisions.
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.
CONTINGENT ASSETS
NATIONAL HOUSING BANK
The Company 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 the Company and NHB.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
PROVISION FOR CREDIT IMPAIRMENT ($3,443M) AND DISCLOSURES FOR THE EXPECTED IMPACT OF AASB 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
APPLICABLE ON 1 OCTOBER 2018
Refer to the critical accounting estimates and judgements and disclosures in relation to credit impairment provisioning in Note 13 to the Financial
Report, and to the disclosures in relation to accounting standards not yet adopted for the expected impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments in Note 1
to the Financial Report.
The Key Audit Matter
The provision for credit impairment is a Key Audit Matter as the Group has significant credit risk exposure to a large number of counterparties across a
wide range of lending and other products, industries and geographies. The value of loans and advances on the balance sheet is significant and there is
a high degree of complexity and judgement involved for the Group in estimating individual and collective credit impairment provisions against these
loans. These features resulted in significant audit effort to address the risks around loan recoverability and the determination of related provisions.
In preparation for adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments on 1 October 2018, the Group disclosed the expected impact of adoption. This added
effort to our FY18 audit given the complexity of the accounting standard and its expected pervasive impact on the industry. We focused on the
Group’s disclosure of the expected impact of measuring expected credit losses (ECLs) on loans and advances and the significant judgement exercised
by the Group. The Group’s models to calculate ECLs are inherently complex and judgement is applied in determining the correct construct of the
models. There are also a number of key assumptions made by the Group in applying the accounting standard requirements to the models, including
the selection and input of forward-looking information.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for the provision for credit impairment and disclosures for the expected impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments applicable on 1
October 2018 included:
Provisions against specific individual loans (individual provision)
Testing the key controls over counterparty risk grading for wholesale loans (larger customer exposures that are monitored individually). We tested
the approval of new lending facilities against the Group’s lending policies, the performance of annual loan assessments, and controls over the
monitoring of counterparty credit quality. This included testing controls over the identification of exposures showing signs of stress, either due to
internal factors specific to the counterparty or external macroeconomic factors, and testing the timeliness of and the accuracy of counterparty risk
assessments and risk grading against the requirements of the Group’s lending policies and regulatory requirements;
Performing credit assessments of a sample of wholesale loans managed by the Group’s specialist workout and recovery team assessed as higher
risk or impaired, and a sample of other loans, focusing on larger exposures assessed by the Group as showing signs of deterioration, or in areas of
emerging risk (assessed against external market conditions). We challenged the Group’s risk grading of the loan, their assessment of loan
recoverability and the impact on the credit provision. To do this, we used the information on the Group’s loan file, discussed the case with the loan
officer and management, and performed our own assessment of recoverability. This involved using our understanding of relevant industries and
the macroeconomic environment, engaging KPMG specialists where required, and comparing assumptions of inputs used by the Group in
recoverability assessments to externally sourced evidence, such as commodity prices, publicly available audited financial statements, and
comparable external valuations of collateral held; and
For retail loans (smaller customer exposures not monitored individually), testing controls over the systems which record lending arrears, group
exposures into delinquency buckets based on the number of days loans are overdue, and calculate individual provisions. We tested automated
calculation and change management controls and evaluated the Group’s oversight of the portfolios, with a focus on controls over delinquency
statistics monitoring. We tested a sample of the level of provisions held against different loan products based on the delinquency profile and
challenged assumptions made in respect of expected recoveries, primarily from collateral held.
Provisions estimated across loan portfolios (collective provision)
Testing the Group’s processes to validate the models used to calculate collective provisions, and evaluating the Group’s model methodologies
against established market practices and criteria in the accounting standards;
Testing the key controls within IT systems used to calculate the collective provision, specifically those relating to data management and the
completeness and accuracy of data transfer from underlying source systems to the collective provision models;
Testing the accuracy of key inputs into models by checking a sample of year-end balances to the general ledger, and repayment history and risk
ratings to source systems;
Challenging the key assumptions in the models such as emergence periods, probability of default and loss given default, for a sample of retail and
wholesale portfolios. We compared modelled estimates against actual losses incurred by the Group; and
Re-performing, for a sample of retail and wholesale portfolios and using a KPMG-constructed calculation tool, the calculation of collective
provisions, to determine the accuracy of model output.
166
166
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
We also challenged key assumptions in the components of the Group’s collective provision balance held above modelled provision estimates.
This included:
Evaluating inputs to the concentration risk and economic cycle provisions by comparing underlying portfolio characteristics to recent loss
experience, current market conditions and specific risks inherent in the Group’s loan portfolios;
Assessing the requirement for other additional provisions by considering model or data deficiencies identified by the Group’s model validation
processes; and
Assessing the completeness of additional provisions by checking the consistency of risks identified in the portfolios to their inclusion in the
Group’s assessment.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
We assessed the Group’s disclosures for the expected impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments which is applicable on 1 October 2018. Together with
KPMG credit risk and economics specialists, our procedures included:
Assessing the Group’s significant accounting policies against the requirements of the accounting standard;
Assessing the Group’s ECL modelling methodology and for a sample of models testing key credit modelling assumptions incorporated in the ECL
models against the requirements of the standard and underlying accounting records;
Assessing forward-looking economic assumptions and the development of economic scenarios against external economic information, and the
application into the ECL models;
Testing data reconciliation controls between the ECL models and source systems;
Testing the accuracy of the modelled calculations by re-performing the ECL calculations on a sample basis; and
Assessing the disclosures in the financial report against the requirements of Australian accounting standards.
VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD AT FAIR VALUE:
- ASSETS HELD AT FAIR VALUE $223,713M
- LIABILITIES HELD AT FAIR VALUE $121,262M
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures of fair values in Note 17 to the Financial Report.
The Key Audit Matter
Financial instruments held at fair value on the Group’s balance sheet include available for sale assets, trading securities, derivative assets and liabilities,
investments backing policy liabilities, certain policy liabilities, certain debt securities, and other assets and liabilities designated as measured at fair
value through profit or loss. The instruments are mainly risk management products sold to customers and used by the Group to manage its own
interest rate and foreign exchange risk.
The valuation of financial instruments held at fair value is considered a Key Audit Matter as:
Financial instruments held at fair value are significant (24% of assets and 14% of liabilities);
The significant volume and range of products transacted, in a number of international locations, increases the risk of inconsistencies in transaction
management processes that could lead to inaccurate valuation;
Determining the fair value of trading securities and derivatives involves a significant level of judgement by the Group, increasing the risk of error,
and adding complexity to our audit. The level of judgement increases where internal models, as opposed to quoted market prices, are used to
determine fair value of an instrument, or where inputs to the internal models, such as discount rates and measures of volatility, are not observable;
and
The valuation of certain derivatives held by the Group is sensitive to inputs including funding rates, probabilities of default and loss given default,
and industry practice is evolving as to how the impact of both funding and credit risk is incorporated within the valuation of certain derivative
instruments. This increased our audit effort in this area and necessitated the involvement of valuation specialists.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for the valuation of financial instruments held at fair value included:
Testing access rights and change management controls for key valuation systems;
Testing interface controls, notably the completeness and accuracy of data transfers between transaction processing systems, key systems used to
generate valuations and any related valuation adjustments, and the Group’s market risk management and finance systems to identify
inconsistencies in transaction management and valuation processes across products and locations;
Testing the governance and approval controls, such as management review and approval of the valuation models, and approval of new products
against policies and procedures;
Testing the front office management review and approval of the daily financial instrument trading profit and loss reconciliations prepared by the
Group’s independent product control function;
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
167
167
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
Testing the management review and approval of model construction and validation, aimed at assessing the validity and robustness of underlying
valuation models; and
Testing the Group’s data validation controls, such as those over key inputs in generating the fair value to market data where fair values were
determined by front office teams.
We carried out testing over the valuation of financial instruments with both observable and unobservable inputs. Our specific testing involved
valuation specialists and included:
Re-performing the valuation of ‘level 1’ and ‘level 2’ available for sale assets and trading securities, which are primarily government, semi-
government and corporate debt securities, by comparing the observable inputs, including quoted prices, to independently sourced market data;
Using independent models, re-calculating the valuation of a sample, across locations, of derivative assets and liabilities where the fair value was
determined using observable inputs. This included comparing a sample of observable inputs used in the Group’s derivative valuations to
independently-sourced market data, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatilities;
Where the fair value of derivatives and other financial assets and liabilities were determined using unobservable inputs (‘level 3’ instruments),
challenging the Group’s valuation model by testing the key inputs used to comparable data in the market, including the use of proxy instruments
and available alternatives. We compared the Group’s valuation methodology to industry practice and the criteria in the accounting standards; and
Evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s valuation methodology for derivative financial instruments, having regard to current and emerging
derivative valuation practices across a range of peer institutions, and against the required criteria in the accounting standards. We tested
adjustments made to valuations, particularly funding and credit valuation adjustments on un-collateralised derivatives. In particular, for a sample
of individual counterparties, across locations, we tested key inputs to the credit valuation adjustment calculation, including the probability of
default, against observable market data. Where proxies were used, we assessed the proxy against available alternatives, across a number
of locations.
PROVISION FOR CUSTOMER REMEDIATION ($602M)
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Notes 21 and 33 to the Financial Report.
The Key Audit Matter
The Group has assessed the need to recognise provisions in relation to certain customer remediation activities arising from both internal and external
investigations, and reviews.
The provision for customer remediation activities is a Key Audit Matter due to the judgements required by us in assessing the Group’s
determination of:
The existence of a present legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event using the conditions of the event against the criteria in the
accounting standards;
The number of investigations and the quantum of amounts being paid arising from the present obligation;
Reliable estimates of the amounts which may be paid arising from investigations, including estimates of related costs; and
The potential for legal proceedings, further investigations, and reviews from its regulators leading to a wider range of estimation outcomes for us
to consider.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures for customer remediation provisions included:
Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s processes for identifying and assessing the potential impact of the investigations into customer
remediation activities;
Enquiring with the Group regarding ongoing legal, regulatory and investigation into other remediation activities;
Reading the minutes and other relevant documentation of the Group’s Board of Directors, Board Committees, various management committees,
and attending the Group’s Audit and Risk Committee meetings;
Inspecting correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies and the Group’s key submissions to the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the
Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry;
For a sample of individual customer remediation matters, assessing the basis for recognition of a provision and associated costs against the
requirements of the accounting standards. We did this by understanding and challenging the provisioning methodologies and
underlying assumptions;

ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
Assessing the appropriateness of the Group’s conclusions against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards where estimates were
unable to be reliably made for a provision to be recognised; and
Evaluating the related disclosures against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
ACCOUNTING FOR DIVESTMENTS
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgments and the discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale disclosures in Notes 1 and
29 to the Financial Report.
The Key Audit Matter
During the year the Group announced the sale of its Life Insurance business to Zurich Financial Services Australia, and the sales of its One Path
pensions and investment business and Aligned Dealer Group business to IOOF Holdings Limited (the ‘Divestment Businesses’). These businesses were
part of the Wealth Australia operating segment. The financial results of the Divestment Businesses are presented as discontinued operations, and the
associated assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale at balance date.
The divestments are considered a Key Audit Matter due to the:
significance of the Divestment Businesses to the Group;
judgement applied by the Group in the measurement of the Divestment Businesses using the requirements accounting standards and the terms
and conditions of the divestments; and
judgement applied by the Group in assessing the probability of the divestments against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards at
30 September 2018.
We focused on the areas where judgement exists in the measurement of the discontinued operations, including the:
allocation of goodwill between the Divestment Businesses;
estimation of costs required to complete the divestments including costs associated with separating these businesses from the Group; and
taxation implications of the divestments, potentially having a significant impact on the loss on sale and requiring specialist knowledge.
The presentation of the restatement of prior year financial information into continuing and discontinued operations in the financial report was also a
focus for us.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures in relation to the Divestment Businesses included:
Reading the relevant transaction documents to understand the terms and conditions of the divestments;
Assessing the criteria for the Divestment Businesses to be recognised and measured as held for sale against the criteria in the accounting
standards at balance sheet date;
Evaluating the substance of the divestments using the terms and conditions of the transaction documents against the criteria for discontinued
operations in the accounting standards;
Testing the Group’s controls for measurement of the divestments held for sale. This included the Steering Committee review and approval of costs
associated with separating the divestments from the Group;
Assessing, on a sample basis, the identification of assets and liabilities disposed by comparing to transaction documents and underlying financial
records at balance date;
Checking the consideration for the divestments to the transaction documents and underlying financial records;
Assessing the identification, basis for recognition, and treatment of a sample of costs associated with separating the divestments from the Group
for compliance with the accounting standards;
Comparing the quantum of the costs associated with separating the divestments from the Group to similar transactions within the market;
Using our tax specialists, we evaluated the associated tax implications against the requirements of the tax legislation;
Evaluating the methodology applied by the Group to allocate goodwill between the Divestment Businesses based on our knowledge of the
businesses and the requirements of the accounting standards;
Checking the Group’s calculations of loss on sale of each of the divestments; and
Assessing the disclosure in the financial report relating to the divestments including the presentation of the restatement of prior period
information to reflect the impact of the divestments against the requirements of the accounting standards.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued)
IT SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS
The Key Audit Matter
As a major Australian bank, the group’s businesses utilise a large number of complex, interdependent Information Technology (IT) systems to process
and record a high volume of transactions. Controls over access and changes to IT systems are critical to the recording of financial information and the
preparation of a financial report which provides a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position and performance. The IT systems and controls, as
they impact the financial recording and reporting of transactions, is a key audit matter and our audit approach could significantly differ depending on
the effective operation of the Group’s IT controls. KPMG IT specialists were used throughout the engagement as a core part of our audit team.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
We tested the control environment for key IT applications (systems) used in processing significant transactions and recording balances in the general
ledger. We also tested automated controls embedded within these systems. Our audit procedures included:
Testing the governance controls used by the Group’s technology teams to monitor system integrity, by checking matters impacting the
operational integrity of core systems for escalation and action in accordance with the Group’s policies;
Testing the access rights given to staff by checking them to approved records, and inspecting the reports over the granting and removal of access
rights. We also looked for evidence of escalation of breaches;
Testing preventative controls designed to enforce segregation of duties between users within particular systems;
Testing the operating effectiveness of automated controls, principally relating to the automated calculation of financial transactions. We tested
the inputs used within automated calculations to source data and also tested the accuracy of the calculation logic for a sample of transactions
within each identified control; and
Testing the operating effectiveness of automated reconciliation controls, both between systems and intra-system. We checked a sample of
identified breaks in reconciliations were recorded on exception reports, and subsequently investigated and cleared by the Group.
OTHER INFORMATION
Other Information is both financial and non-financial information in Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited’s annual reporting which
is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor's Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of
assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the
Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have
performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report, we have nothing to report.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS FOR THE FINANCIAL REPORT
The Directors are responsible for:
preparing a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This
includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Our objective is:
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error; and
to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.

GLOSSARY
AASs – Australian Accounting Standards.
AASB – Australian Accounting Standards Board. The term “AASB” is
commonly used when identifying AASs issued by the AASB. In doing
so, the term is used together with the AAS number.
ADI – Authorised Deposit-taking Institution.
APRA – Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
APS – ADI Prudential Standard.
BCBS – Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Cash profit is an additional measure of profit which is prepared on
a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. Cash
profit represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the ongoing
business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Group
and Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer
institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core
items from statutory profit as noted 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. gains or losses included in earnings arising from changes in
tax, legal or 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.
Cash profit is not a measure of cash flow or profit determined
on a cash accounting basis.
Collective provision is the provision for credit losses that are inherent
in the portfolio but not able to be individually identified. A collective
provision is only recognised when a loss event has 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.
Customer deposits represent term deposits, other deposits bearing
interest, deposits not bearing interest and borrowing corporations debt
excluding securitisation deposits.
Dividend payout ratio is the total ordinary dividend payment divided
by profit attributable to shareholders of the Company.
Fair value is an amount at which an asset or liability could be
exchanged between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction.
Gross loans and advances (GLA) is made up of loans and advances,
acceptances and capitalised brokerage/mortgage origination fees less
unearned income.
IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards.
Impaired assets are those financial assets where doubt exists as
to whether the full contractual amount will be received in a timely
manner, or where concessional terms have been provided because of
the financial difficulties of the customer. Financial assets are impaired if
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a loss event that
occurred prior to the reporting date, and that loss event has had an
impact, which can be reliably estimated, on the expected future cash
flows of the individual asset or portfolio of assets.
Impaired loans comprise drawn facilities where the customer’s status
is defined as impaired.
Individual provision is the amount of expected credit losses on
financial instruments assessed for impairment on an individual basis (as
opposed to on a collective basis). It takes into account expected cash
flows over the lives of those financial instruments.
Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) relates to the potential
adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZ’s future net
interest income. The risk generally arises from:
1. repricing and yield curve risk - the risk to earnings or market value
as a result of changes in the overall level of interest rates and/or the
relativity of these rates across the yield curve;
2. basis risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from volatility
in the interest margin applicable to banking book items; and
3. optionality risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from the
existence of stand-alone or embedded options in banking
book items.
Internationally comparable ratios are ANZ’s interpretation of the
regulations documented in the Basel Committee publications; “Basel
lll: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking
systems” (June 2011) and “International Convergence of Capital
Measurement and Capital Standards” (June 2006). They also include
differences identified in APRA’s information paper entitled “International
Capital Comparison Study” (13 July 2015).
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.
Level 1 in the context of APRA supervision, Australia and New
Zealand Banking Group Limited consolidated with certain
approved subsidiaries.
Credit risk weighted assets represent assets which are weighted for
credit risk according to a set formula contained within APS 112/113.
Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) – Over the life of a derivative
instrument, ANZ uses a CVA model to adjust fair value to take into
account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology
calculates the present value of expected losses over the life of the
financial instrument as a function of probability of default, loss given
default, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor.
Impaired derivatives are also subject to a CVA.
Level 2 in the context of APRA supervision, the consolidated ANZ
Group excluding associates, insurance and funds management entities,
commercial non-financial entities and certain securitisation vehicles.
Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average
interest earning assets.
Net loans and advances represent gross loans and advances less
provisions for credit impairment.
180
ANZ 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Net tangible assets equal share capital and reserves attributable
to shareholders of the Company less preference share capital and
unamortised intangible assets (including goodwill and software).
Regulatory deposits are mandatory reserve deposits lodged with local
central banks in accordance with statutory requirements.
Restructured items comprise facilities in which the original contractual
terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties
of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest,
principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity
materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.
Return on average assets calculated as the profit attributable to
shareholders of the Company divided by average total assets.
Return on average ordinary equity calculated as the profit attributable
to shareholders of the Company divided by average ordinary
shareholders’ equity.
Risk weighted assets (RWA) – Assets (both on and off-balance sheet)
are risk weighted according to each asset’s inherent potential for
default and what the likely losses would be in the case of default. In the
case of non asset backed risks (i.e. market and operational risk), RWA is
determined by multiplying the capital requirements for those
risks by 12.5.
Settlement balances owed to / by ANZ represent financial assets and/
or liabilities which are in the course of being settled. These may include
trade dated assets and liabilities, nostro/vostro accounts and securities
settlement accounts.
