CUSTOMER STORY  
 ADAPTING  
Growing business 
during a crisis
Photo credit: Simon Schluter, The Age
CONTENTS  
An ANZ customer for more than 50 years, fellahamilton has been 
in the business of Australian women’s fashion since the early 1970s.
Today, the company is managed by David Hamilton (son of the 
eponymous founder) and his wife, Sharon Hamilton, CEO. 
When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit Australia in March,  
times were challenging. 
Within the first few weeks of lockdowns, 
they had to let go of employees at their 
Moorabbin factory and retail stores 
nationally were shut.
However, shortly after, a doctor friend of 
Sharon’s asked her to make a scrub set, as 
there was a limited supply of Personal 
Protective Equipment (PPE).
Sharon recalls the moment demand for 
their washable, hospital-grade PPE started 
snowballing and a new direction for the 
business appeared in ‘fellahealthwear’.
“I’m a pharmacist by profession, with many 
friends in the medical industry. After the 
first request, I received another, and another, 
and now we’re making and distributing 
thousands of scrubs and gowns to GPs, 
dentists and hospitals. We’ve hired back 
all of our staff and have never been busier,” 
says Sharon.
David credits the move into making PPE  
to his wife’s optimistic nature and tendency 
to ‘think outside the box’.
“Changing direction wasn’t easy,” says David. 
“It needed us to have intestinal fortitude and 
complete dedication to what we thought 
was the right move for our business.”
“The road ahead is going to be tough.  
While we’re doing well at the moment, we 
are uncertain about what the future holds, 
so we need to remain adaptable and agile 
in response to what may come next from 
the pandemic.”

Integrated reporting
This report includes information on our financial and non-financial 
performance, providing readers with a holistic view of the Australia 
and New Zealand Banking Group Limited’s1 performance. In 
preparing pages 1 to 72, we have again drawn on aspects of the 
International Integrated Reporting Framework to describe how  
our business model, strategy, governance and risk management 
processes help us manage risks and opportunities in our operating 
environment and deliver value for our stakeholders. We outline our 
response to external social and environmental challenges, including 
how we are supporting our stakeholders through the COVID-19 
pandemic, continuing to implement recommendations from the 
Royal Commission and strengthening our approach to climate 
change and human rights. 
Annual Report structure
The required elements of the Directors Report, including the 
Operating and Financial Review (OFR) as required by ASIC 
Regulatory Guide 247, are covered on pages 1 to 70. Commentary 
on our performance overview contained on pages 54 to 71 
references information reported in the Financial Report  
pages 111 to 233.
The Remuneration Report pages 74 to 108 and the Financial Report 
pages 111 to 233 have been audited by KPMG. KPMG also provides 
limited assurance over Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) 
content2 within this Annual Report. A copy of KPMG’s limited 
assurance report is contained in the ANZ 2020 ESG Supplement. 
This report covers all ANZ operations worldwide over which, unless 
otherwise stated, we have control for the financial year commencing 
on 1 October 2019 and ending 30 September 2020. Monetary 
amounts in this document are reported in Australian dollars,

Additional information
We produce a suite of reports to meet the needs and requirements 
of a wide range of stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, 
employees, regulators, non-government organisations and  
the community. In 2021 we intend to review our disclosures to 
ensure they are meeting the evolving needs of our stakeholders. 
Specifically, we will consider whether there are additional  
reporting frameworks or metrics we could use to enhance our 
disclosures. In this respect we are closely watching work underway 
by key sustainability disclosure bodies to develop a coherent and 
comprehensive corporate reporting system in which existing 
sustainability standards and frameworks complement financial 
accounting principles.
Our 2020 Corporate Governance Statement discloses how we have 
complied with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations – 3rd edition’ and is

What matters most
Through our annual materiality assessment we engage with internal and external stakeholders 
to inform our identification of ESG risks and opportunities. We seek to identify those issues that 
have the most potential to impact our ability to operate successfully and create value for 
our shareholders and other stakeholders.
We use the assessment to inform our strategy, ESG targets and 
external reporting.
In 2019 our materiality assessment was focused on issues arising 
from the Royal Commission. This year we returned to a broader 
focus, with an emphasis on the ‘social’ aspects of ESG, and 
specifically our support for customers, employees and the 
community in response to COVID-19. 
The bank’s response was well regarded by external stakeholders, 
with several commenting how the banking sector has responded to 
the pandemic has helped to improve community trust lost during 
the Royal Commission. They did note, however, that despite the 
positive steps taken since the Royal Commission, trust should 
remain a key focus and its recovery is fragile. 
Both external and internal stakeholder groups identified fairness 
and ethical conduct, financial wellbeing and customer experience 
as priorities. Some external stakeholders also highlighted the 
importance of continuing to act on climate change, while internal 
stakeholders emphasised the importance of fraud and data security. 
FAIRNESS AND ETHICAL CONDUCT: a strong 
corporate culture, known for ethics, values, fairness and 
transparency. Simple and understandable products 
and communications (i.e. product disclosure, including 
bank fees and charges) and appropriate hardship/
collections policies.
FINANCIAL WELLBEING: promoting and enabling 
access to safe and affordable products and services, 
particularly lower-income and vulnerable customers. 
Work with cross-sector partners to help customers, 
employees and the broader community meet current 
financial commitments and needs, and improve their 
financial resilience.
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: delivering value and 
improved customer experience through appropriate 
financial products and services for all customers, small 
business and retail.
CLIMATE CHANGE: managing the business risks and 
opportunities associated with climate change. Includes 
the role we play in supporting our customers to 
transition to a low carbon economy.
FRAUD AND DATA SECURITY: policies and processes in 
place to prevent fraud and protect customer data and 
privacy. Includes customer access to personal data.
WE ASKED EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS:

its reputation as a fair and ethical organisation?

Chairman’s message
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on all our lives.  
Whether it is the devastating loss of lives, the crippling  
of some businesses and impact on livelihoods, limitations 
placed on social activities and the way we are working –  
2020 will be remembered for generations. 
ANZ has of course not been spared from 
the effects of the pandemic. Our full-year 
statutory profit of $3.6 billion was down 
40% – levels not seen since the height of 
the Global Financial Crisis. 
Looking through the immediate impact  
of COVID-19, the fundamental drivers of  
our business continued to perform well. 
We are fortunate the actions taken by  
our management team over many years 
to simplify and improve our operations  
have the bank well positioned to support 
our customers as well as supporting  
economic recovery.
Despite the challenges facing the broader 
economy, the Board was pleased to declare 
a final dividend of 35 cents. This is on top of 
the interim dividend announced in August, 
taking the total payout to 60 cents per share.
Given the uncertain environment, we put 
aside $2.7 billion for possible future credit 
losses. This takes ANZ’s total credit provision 
reserves to $5.9 billion.
We also continued to simplify the  
business through the year. On 31 January, 
we completed the previously announced 
sale of our OnePath Pensions and 
Investments business to IOOF Holdings 
Limited and in September we completed 
the sale of UDC Finance in New Zealand  
to Shinsei Bank Limited. 
During the most recent quarter, we 
announced the sale of 1,300 offsite 
Australian ATMs to Armaguard. While  
we will continue to operate our 900  
ATMs at our branches around Australia, 
this was another step in achieving our 
overall goal to be simpler, more  
efficient and better managed.
Supporting customers 
For ANZ, 2020 will ultimately be defined  
by how we stepped up to support our 
customers and the community through  
this devastating global pandemic.
Almost overnight businesses that were 
once thriving enterprises were restricted 
from operating, families lost their main 
source of income and millions faced 
economic uncertainty, and our thoughts  
are with those who have been directly 
impacted.
I’m proud of the way our bank, under the 
leadership of our Chief Executive Shayne 
Elliott, has risen to support our customers 
and I can assure shareholders ANZ will 
continue to play a crucial role in the 
economic recovery of Australia and  
New Zealand. 
David Gonski, AC

Already we have provided loan payment 
deferrals for more than 142,000 home loans 
and business loans in Australia and New 
Zealand. This approach has provided 
customers with the time they need to 
recover while also protecting the interests 
of shareholders. 
While it’s an impossible task to provide  
an accurate outlook for the future, I remain 
optimistic about our prospects given  
the positive way governments in our  
key markets, particularly in Australia and  
New Zealand, have responded to the 
challenges of COVID-19. 
Fortunately, we already are seeing the early 
signs of recovery, particularly in those parts 
of our business less impacted by COVID-19. 
In Western Australia, for instance, our card 
data shows spending on ‘dining & takeaway’ 
was up around 18% on the previous year. 
Clearly there are still more challenges ahead 
but these early signs provide us with a level 
of confidence about the actions taken so far. 
Executive remuneration
We know how we reward our most senior 
people is important for many shareholders. 
The Chair of our Human Resources 
Committee, Ilana Atlas, AO, has provided 
more detail in the Remuneration Report. 
However, I can guarantee shareholders the 
Board spent a great deal of time evaluating 
the performance of the management team 
and deciding how to reward them 
appropriately. 
The Board was pleased with the 
performance this year and was particularly 
impressed with the way the bank responded 
to the challenges presented by COVID-19. 
However, given the impact the pandemic 
has had on our shareholders, customers 
and the broader community, the Board 
exercised its discretion by applying a 50% 
reduction to the variable remuneration  
for our executive team, including our  
Chief Executive.
The Board also determined there would be 
no fixed remuneration increases for any of 
its Disclosed Executives, including the Chief 
Executive Officer, for the coming year.
Board succession
As you may know, my time at ANZ came to 
an end at the finalisation of this year’s result 
on 28 October. At that date I had been a 
director for more than 11 years, originally 
serving between 2002 and 2007, and then 
returning as Chair in 2014.
Serving as ANZ’s Chairman will always be a 
highlight of my corporate career. Reflecting 
on my time here, I am most proud to have 
played a role in choosing Shayne Elliott to 
be our Chief Executive and to work with 
him to establish his talented leadership 
team. I know I am leaving ANZ in good 
shape under this strong leadership and  
I will be keenly monitoring ANZ’s progress.
I am also delighted Paul O’Sullivan has 
succeeded me as Chairman. Paul is an 
outstanding company director who has 
already made a strong contribution to the 
Board. He has my absolute confidence.
Finally, I would like to thank shareholders  
for their support over the years and 
acknowledge the efforts of our 39,000 
people who have been working hard for  
our customers, shareholders and the 
broader community.
David Gonski, AC Chairman
Message from Paul O’Sullivan
I am honoured to succeed David Gonski as the new 
Chairman of ANZ. The bank has a proud 185-year history 
and I look forward to contributing to its continued success.
While there will be much to consider in the coming year as economies recover  
from the COVID-19 pandemic, my focus as Chairman will be to continue the work  
we have been doing over many years to improve our operations and simplify the 
bank, particularly through digital and technological innovation. 
The Board will also pay close attention to our business growth strategy in the 
constantly changing landscape in which we operate. Looking at how we will  
ensure success and improved financial performance in the long-term will be  
of critical importance.
Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the enormous contribution 
David has made and thank him on behalf of all shareholders for his hard work and 
leadership over the last seven years as Chair. 
David steered the Board through some challenging times and helped build an 
organisation with a strong focus on governance, accountability, improved culture 
and enhanced customer outcomes. 
His efforts to strengthen and champion the 
bank’s work in the area of Environment, Social 
and Governance (ESG), especially with respect 
to social and economic inclusion and climate 
change, is a legacy of which he should be  
very proud.

Shayne Elliott
As a bank, we entered 2020 in robust 
condition. We have a strong balance sheet 
with record levels of capital and liquidity. 
The work done over several years to simplify 
the bank means we now focus only on the 
things that matter, our people are more 
engaged than ever and we are able to quickly 
adapt to the challenges the future holds. 
While COVID-19 has impacted many parts of 
our business, we have not sat idle. Times of 
crisis are when the best companies build for 
the future in a prudent and disciplined 
manner. We invested record levels to build  
a better bank for our customers and staff, 
while continuing to closely manage costs.
In Australia, we achieved strong growth  
in our targeted home loan segments with 
above system growth in the owner-occupier 
market, driven particularly by the refinancing 
market. Deposits remained strong as 
customers took a sensible approach to 
managing their household balance sheet. 
We also saw an accelerated shift away from 
the use of cash due to the pandemic and 
we introduced new processes to help 
customers move to online banking.
CEO’s message
We could never have forecast 2020, a year that started with 
devastating bushfires in Australia and was followed by waves  
of a terrible, global pandemic that continues to spread. We  
still cannot predict its course but we do remain confident  
we can deal with its impacts.
Our thoughts are with those who have 
suffered from these events. We need  
only look at some of the country towns 
impacted by bushfires or the empty city 
streets to know these crises have struck  
at the heart of our community.
We want our customers to know we will 
continue to do all we can to support them 
through the tough times. Fortunately we 
have never been in better shape to support 
all our stakeholders through what will be 
one of history’s periods of great volatility. 
While the Chairman’s message has provided 
an overview of our financial performance,  
I would reiterate we were pleased with  
how the business performed in difficult 
trading conditions.

Times of crisis are when the best companies build for  
the future in a prudent and disciplined manner.
The work done over many years to simplify 
and refocus the Institutional business 
proved beneficial in a market defined by 
high levels of liquidity, low interest rates and 
geopolitical tensions. Increased volatility led 
to strong activity in Global Markets which 
again performed well and demonstrated 
the benefits of a diversified business. As 
Australia’s leading international bank, we 
remain well positioned to assist domestic 
companies doing business in Asia as the 
global economy improves.
COVID-19 appears contained in New Zealand 
and we remain well positioned to benefit 
from its subsequent economic recovery. 
While it was a tough revenue environment, 
given low interest rates and a focus on 
reducing or simplifying fees, we have 
maintained market leadership in our 
targeted segments: home loans, deposits 
and KiwiSaver.
Given the critical role data, insights and 
automation will play over the coming years, 
particularly as we respond to the challenges 
of COVID-19 and the daily uncertainty that 
brings, we also made changes to the 
executive team with the addition of Emma 
Gray to the new role of Group Executive 
Data and Automation. This will be a critical 
role in the continued digital transformation 
of ANZ.
One of the most pleasing aspects of 2020 
has been how our people have responded 
to the challenge. We were able to successfully 
move 95 per cent of our non-branch 
employees to working productively from 
home where they were able to support our 
customers at a time of significant stress. 
Employee engagement is at record levels. 
I’ve been amazed at their dedication and  
I’m proud to call them my colleagues.
Climate change
This year we have released an updated 
Climate Change Statement that outlines our 
approach and strengthened commitments 
in support of a global transition to net zero 
carbon emissions.
We understand the impact – positive and 
negative – our financing has on climate 
change. We have been working hard on 
making a meaningful difference while 
supporting long-standing customers who 
are making the transition to a low carbon 
future. Over the last five years, we have 
reduced our lending to thermal coal mining 
by almost 70 per cent and increased our 
direct lending to renewables by 63 per cent. 
Our 2020 Climate Change Statement 
focuses on three main areas. 
First, we will help our customers by 
encouraging them to identify climate risks 
and opportunities, create transition plans 
and report publicly on their progress. 
Second, we will support the transition of 
industries to a low carbon future so they 
can help grow the economy. A key element 
for ANZ is we will no longer directly finance 
new assets across the thermal coal value 
chain and will exit all directly financed 
coal-fired power stations and thermal  
coal mines by 2030.
Thirdly, we will reduce our own impact  
by managing and reducing emissions  
from our operations. We will do this by 
accelerating our emission reductions by 
sourcing 100 per cent of the electricity 
needed for our business operations from 
renewables by 2025.
Vale Will Bailey
I would also like to acknowledge  
the passing of our former Chief 
Executive Officer Will Bailey  
in August this year. 
Having started as a teller in the 
Oakleigh branch of the old ES&A 
bank in 1950, Will served as CEO 
between 1984 and 1992. He was a 
mentor to many future ANZ leaders 
and made a significant contribution 
in building the ANZ we all  
know today. 
One of Will’s major legacies was 
modernising the bank, introducing 
automation and computerisation – 
and some technology still in  
use today. In fact, ANZ opened 
Australia’s first ‘electronic branch’  
in 1985 under his stewardship. On 
behalf of everyone at ANZ, I’d like to 
pass on our condolences to his wife 
Dorothy and his family and friends.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge  
again the terrific work of our 39,000 people 
across the world. From our service centres 
in Bangalore and Manila through to our 
contact centres in Australia and branches in 
New Zealand, they have all done a great job 
for customers in very difficult circumstances 
despite competing priorities over this long,  
arduous period.

COVID-19 – protecting our customers,  
people and community
While our decisions in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a short-term financial 
impact – on earnings, profitability and shareholder value – our focus is on the long-term.  
A healthy and sustainable community is in everyone’s best interests.
Throughout the pandemic we have sought to balance the needs of all stakeholders. Our approach has been guided by four key principles:
Protect what 
matters
Adapt to  
the changing 
environment
Engage with 
stakeholders
Prepare for 
the future
These principles informed our ‘Statement of Intent’ (available on anz.com), which outlines support for customers impacted financially  
by the pandemic and our commitment to work with them on a solution that is respectful, fair and appropriate.
Our customers
Our people 
In March we announced our initial support package for retail  
and business customers, offering the option of deferring loan 
repayments for a period of six months on a range of products, 
including home, personal and business loans. 
We received over 137,000 applications for  
hardship assistance in Australia alone. 
In July we updated our support package for customers continuing 
to experience financial difficulty due to COVID-19. Additional 
assistance options (depending on the customer’s circumstances) 
included loan restructuring (for example, an interest only period) 
or an extension of the deferral period until 31 March 2021. 
Customers with loan repayment deferrals have been proactively 
contacted by phone, SMS and/or email/letter to ensure they 
understand the impacts of their loan relief and identify if they  
need further support. 
From early March we moved employees to work-at-home 
arrangements, split teams and introduced greater distance  
between those employees performing essential functions in  
the office. By late April approximately 95% of our non-branch 
employees had adapted to working from home. 
Any employee concerned about their safety while working  
from home (for example, due to domestic and family violence), 
could elect to work in the office. 
We also introduced 10 days’ of paid coronavirus-related special 
leave, and provided a one-off payment to junior and mid-level 
employees as a contribution towards working from home  
work expenses. 
To protect our people still working in, or returning to the office, we 
have put in place multiple controls to minimise the risk of exposure 
to COVID-19 in the workplace, including thermal screening; physical 
distancing markers; enhanced cleaning protocols; and robust 
incident notification, response and management processes.
Across Australia and New Zealand we have over 1.5 million home loans.
Of our ~1 million home loans in Australia, ~95,000 have received deferrals on their loan  
repayments since March 2020, with ~74,000 deferred loans active at 30 September. 
Of our ~529,000 home loans in New Zealand, ~24,000 have received deferrals on their  
loan repayments since March 2020, with ~16,000 deferred loans active at 30 September.
Of our ~236,000 business loans in Australia, ~23,000 have received deferrals on their  
loan repayments since March 2020, with ~20,000 deferred loans active at 30 September.
8
To support the wellbeing of our people we are providing coaching 
and digital resources through our employee intranet and new 
‘HealthyMe’ app. Our Employee Assistance Program also remains 
available to our people and their immediate family members.
Finally, we are providing enhanced support for employees displaced 
from their roles due to redundancy. This has included putting in 
place a program for impacted employees, which provides them 
with unlimited coaching and workshops to help them find new 
careers and support their financial and emotional wellbeing.
Our community
We have worked closely with our community partners throughout 
the pandemic – from adapting the way we deliver our financial 
literacy programs to our senior executives engaging weekly with 
NGOs, consumer advocates and financial counsellors to ensure we 
are acting responsibly and responsively to real world conditions. 
In Australia, we donated $1.5m to the Brotherhood of St Laurence, 
The Smith Family and the Financial Counselling Foundation – for 
education, employment, aged care and financial counselling 
programs targeted at disadvantaged people affected by COVID-19.
We donated a total of NZ$2 million to Women’s Refuge, Age 
Concern New Zealand, the NZ Salvation Army, Red Cross and  
other local charities in the Pacific to support those most affected  
by the crisis.
We also directed $8.4 million of unclaimed remediation monies  
to our key community partners to, among other things, help  
expand their programs online. COVID-19 has highlighted the need 
for diverse and sustainable ways to deliver services to vulnerable 
families. One of our partners, The Smith Family, will use the funds  
to further digitise their programs so they can continue to support 
the education of around 58,000 students online. 
Improving the lives of vulnerable Australians  
during COVID-19
We have worked together with the Brotherhood of St Laurence 
(BSL) to adapt shared community programs so participants 
can continue receiving support during COVID-19. 
In response to the pandemic, we transitioned Saver Plus, a 
matched savings and financial education program developed 
by ANZ and BSL, to digital delivery. This enabled over 2,000 
participants to remain on the program by completing financial 
education online instead of attending in person workshops. 
Between March and September 2020, we provided over 
$520,000 towards laptops and tablets, enabling digital 
access for over 1,100 families and individuals to support 
remote schooling and learning.
We were also one of the employers that continued to 
provide employment opportunities for refugees and asylum 
seekers through BSL’s Given the Chance work placement 
program. “This has been very much appreciated by BSL, and 
for the participants it has provided security and stability in a 
time when many areas of their lives are out of control”, BSL’s 
Executive Director Conny Lenneberg says.
When children moved to remote learning, many of the families 
supported by The Smith Family through their Learning for Life 
program struggled to help their children with schoolwork. This  
was due to a range of factors including some having low education 
levels themselves, limited technical confidence and skills, or having 
English as a second language. In addition, digital inclusion issues 
such as a lack of devices and internet access further affected some 
students. The educational support and learning programs The Smith 
Family provides, with our help, is now needed more than ever, as 
children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are  
at higher risk of falling behind due to the pandemic.
"We are incredibly grateful for the generosity  
and ongoing support of ANZ, who enable us 
to continue helping children and families in 
need, not just through this challenging time 
but into the future as well.”
Dr Lisa O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer, The Smith Family
Supporting women in a time of crisis 
Established in the 1970s, Women’s Refuge is New Zealand’s 
largest nation-wide organisation supporting women and 
children experiencing domestic and family violence. 
During the COVID-19 lockdowns many women have  
needed help to get through the crisis, with the pandemic 
exacerbating family violence in some households. 
In March 2020, we donated NZ$500,000 to the Women’s 
Refuge, a community organisation that ANZ New Zealand 
has had a long-standing relationship with. 
Dr Ang Jury, CEO of Women’s Refuge commented on the 
impact the crisis was having, saying, “we’ve been overwhelmed 
with need in recent weeks. Unfortunately for some, there is 
not a safe place to self-isolate for long periods of time.”
The funds from ANZ have meant that women and children 
can be provided with food, healthcare, communications 
services and importantly, safe lodging in motels.
“We are incredibly grateful for this donation from ANZ and 
these funds will help ease the financial pressure our refuges 
are facing during this time. We are also pleased to be able to 
direct a portion of the donation to future care and support 
for women and children,” said Dr Jury.
Since 2017, ANZ has made it easier for women referred by 
Women’s Refuge to set up their own bank account, even 
though they may not have ID or a permanent address.
ANZ NZ CEO Antonia Watson said: “It’s important to look out 
for the most vulnerable in our communities during this time, 
to not lose sight of their needs, and make sure the people 
and organisations who support them are well resourced  
and supported.”

Bringing our purpose to life 
Supporting sustainable development
We are committed to the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDGs) and believe that business has 
an important role to play in their achievement. Our ESG 
targets support 11 of the 17 SDGs. 
In 2019 we became a founding signatory to the UN  
Principles for Responsible Banking. Under the Principles we 
are required to set at least two targets that address our most 
significant (potential) positive and negative impacts, aligned 
with the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. Further 
information on our progress towards implementing the 
Principles, including targets we have set, is in our 2020  
ESG Supplement available at anz.com/cs.
We are helping to respond to complex societal issues central to our 
customers and our business strategy. In particular, we are focusing 
our efforts on:
FINANCIAL WELLBEING – improving the financial wellbeing of our 
customers, employees and the community by helping them make 
the most of their money throughout their lives;
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY – supporting household, 
business and financial practices that improve environmental 
sustainability; and
HOUSING – improving the availability of suitable and affordable 
housing options for all Australians and New Zealanders.
We are contributing to these challenges by: developing innovative 
and responsible financial products and services; working with our 
customers; harnessing the skills of our people; and supporting the 
communities in which we live and work.
Fundamental to our approach is a commitment to fair and 
responsible banking – keeping pace with the expectations of our 
customers, employees and the community, behaving fairly and 
responsibly and maintaining high standards of conduct.
Throughout this report we illustrate how we have embedded purpose 
into our business strategy, including through our Environment, 
Social and Governance (ESG) targets and performance objectives.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportOur operating environment
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the external environment in which we 
operate, and we are adapting in response. A summary of the key external risks currently affecting 
our business and our response to them is outlined below.
RISKS
OPPORTUNITIES
Social and economic impacts of COVID-19
	• Many customers are financially impacted by the  
pandemic, and need to adapt to a new environment
	• Responding to customer circumstances,  
by providing financial support and information
	• Working cooperatively with government on  
policies to see our customers through the  
COVID-19 pandemic and into a period of growth
Limited credit growth
	• An economic contraction, lower business confidence and 
higher unemployment is limiting credit growth, and many 
customer loans have been deferred
	• Maintaining our focus on core banking services  
to improve customer outcomes, together with  
efficient allocation of capital and resources
Regulatory oversight and stakeholder scrutiny 
	• Challenges arising from regulatory expectations and  
higher community standards and expectations 
Technological changes
Increased competition from digitally enabled competitors
	•
	•
	• Changed employment proposition due to stay-at-home 
Increased cyber attacks and attempted fraud 
restrictions
Demographic changes
	• Rebuilding trust by ‘doing what we say’ 
	• Working cooperatively with regulators,  
government and NGOs
	• Supporting our customers, employees and  
the community through the COVID-19 pandemic  
and ensuing recovery period
	• Faster deployment of new and improved digital 
services, products and processes will help meet 
customer needs for safe and secure banking
	• Providing staff with appropriate technology, tools  
and equipment to work productively from home  
during the pandemic and its aftermath
	• Demand for new home lending and some other  
	• Delivering attractive housing products and  
bank products may diminish, particularly as population 
growth stalls as a result of the pandemic
	• Growing need for more affordable and accessible  
housing in the market
services to grow market share
	• Partnering with business, government and  
NGOs to provide innovative and practical models  
for the development of affordable housing
Increasing importance of ESG
	• Failure to meet our ESG commitments and related social 
expectations could lead to customer and community  
impacts and reduced shareholder value impacts
	• Strengthening our ESG standards, policies,  
processes, products and services and disclosures 
	• Growth of sustainable finance products and services
Globalisation
	• The COVID-19 pandemic and changing geopolitical 
	• Continued strength of traditional exports, development 
environment has hurt global prosperity and cooperation, 
threatening flows of trade, investment and people. This  
may challenge supply chains and productivity across

OverviewHow we  create valuePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors’ reportFinancial reportShareholder informationANZ STORY
Banking through times 
of change
Much about the world has changed since  
ANZ started out as the Bank of Australasia in 1835.
In the 1800s and early 1900s, customers used only 
their ‘home’ branch, with tellers recording account 
details in a ledger book using a quill and inkwell. 
By the 1920s, Burroughs ledger machines 
– akin to typewriters or early adding 
machines – were used for calculations, 
replacing mental arithmetic. 
our customers looking to digital solutions 
– be it online or via their mobile phones – 
to enable them to do their banking from 
the safety of their home. 
Then, in around the 1960s, passbook 
accounts were designed with ‘black light’ 
signature panels giving customers the 
freedom to bank outside of their  
home branch.
Fast forward to 2020, and we have more 
than three million customers using our 
mobile banking app to check account 
balances, view transactions, and send  
and receive money. 
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated 
the shift to digital banking, with more of  
Changing the way we do things to meet the 
needs of our customers isn’t new for ANZ. 
More than 100 years ago, the Spanish Flu 
pandemic also led to the closure of state 
borders, placing restrictions on banking 
services.
Staff in ANZ’s Tweed Heads branch in NSW 
came up with an innovative way to ensure 
money and cheques were still able to  
flow, using a cigar box and some rope to 
transport the contents across the river to 
the Queensland border at Coolangatta. 
Image: Andrew Smith
Now in 2020, we continue to adapt the 
ways in which we deliver products and 
services to our customers. 
With the majority of non-branch staff 
working remotely from home for much 
of the year, we had to implement digital 
solutions for almost every aspect  
of customer engagement – from 
accepting electronic signatures on  
bank documents, to holding virtual 
customer meetings and events via 
phone or video calls.
Over the years, despite the challenges  
in our operating environment, serving 
customers and providing essential 
banking services has been our priority.

ADAPTINGANZ 2020 Annual ReportBecoming a fairer and more responsible bank
We continue to act in response to the ‘spirit and letter’ of the Royal Commission into Misconduct 
in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (the Royal Commission). 
Last year we developed an integrated response (‘roadmap’)  
to act on:
 • the lessons we identified from our misconduct and failures  
to meet community standards and expectations; and 
 • the themes raised in our 2018 APRA Self-Assessment report  
across culture, governance and accountability. 
While there has been significant focus this year on the impacts  
of COVID-19, we recognise the importance of delivering on our 
roadmap. Work on the roadmap has continued to deliver better 
outcomes for our customers, our people and other stakeholders. 
We remain committed to learn from our failures and build a bank 
that is worthy of the trust and respect of our customers and the 
community.
Integrated response to the Royal Commission 
and the APRA Self-Assessment 
Our Royal Commission and Self-Assessment Oversight Group 
monitors the progress with our roadmap. The Oversight Group is 
co-chaired by our Deputy CEO and Chief Risk Officer and provides 
regular updates on our progress to the Executive Committee and 
the Board.
Our roadmap has five focus areas: Culture; Governance and 
Accountability; Management of Operational Risk; Remediation;  
and Simplification. Executive Committee members have  
‘ownership’ of each focus area.
Delivering on our roadmap will give us confidence that the  
lessons of the Royal Commission and the themes raised in  
our Self-Assessment report have been acted on. 
Royal Commission
We made 16 commitments as part of our response to the Royal 
Commission, to improve the treatment of retail customers, small 
businesses and farmers in Australia.
 • We have completed 11 commitments to date. We have taken 
action on distressed agricultural loans; remuneration of front 
line staff; the Retail Banking Remuneration Review (Sedgwick) 
recommendations; culture and governance; and reporting on 
remediation of existing failures. 
 • Of the remaining five commitments, four are dependent on 
the finalisation of related legislation, and one is ongoing as we 
continue to assess our culture and respond where changes  
are required.
 • We provide public updates on our progress to implement 
the Royal Commission recommendations to the House of 
Representatives Standing Committee on Economics. Our most 
recent update as at 21 August 2020 is available on anz.com.
Many of the recommendations in the Royal Commission’s  
final report require legislative change. We continue to engage 
constructively with government, regulators and industry as  
they respond to these. 
APRA Self-Assessment
Our roadmap is a multi-year program with defined success measures 
and targets in place for each of the five focus areas. These are 
regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain relevant. 
Governance and Accountability – The Board has committed to 
maintain effective oversight of management’s implementation of 
the roadmap and receives quarterly updates.
 • Our Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR) outputs 
have assisted to clarify and strengthen accountability. BEAR 
implementation is aligned with our three lines of defence and 
embedded within our governance, control and risk management 
arrangements. 
 • We introduced a strengthened Accountability and Consequence 
Framework in June 2019, with expanded public disclosure of 
senior management consequences. The first annual effectiveness 
review of the Framework was completed in February 2020, with 
enhancements implemented.
Culture – We are working towards our aspirational culture and 
creating an environment where employees are motivated and 
'speak up', when they see something wrong. Our Board and the 
executive Enterprise Culture Steering Group provide oversight. 
 • We promote a strong ‘speak up’ culture. Our most recent 
internal employee engagement survey showed an uplift of 
5% (from 69% to 74%) in response to the question ‘I can raise 
issues and concerns in ANZ without fear of reprisals or negative 
consequences’. 
 • We changed how we financially reward, recognise and manage 
the performance of our people to reduce the risk of outcomes 
that are not in our customers' best interests, and to support 
collaboration, team performance and encourage long-term 
thinking. Variable remuneration is now a smaller part of  
take-home pay.

OverviewHow we  create valuePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors’ reportFinancial reportShareholder information • We are building leadership capability to have regular and better 
quality performance and coaching conversations, focusing on 
outcomes and behaviours. 
 • We care about our customers. Our Royal Commission 
commitments improve the treatment of retail customers,  
small businesses and farmers in Australia.
 • Our Dispute Resolution Principles aim to help us be more 
accountable and transparent. We reviewed and updated our 
principles in November 2019. The principles apply to our people 
and our representatives when managing individual retail and 
small business customer complaints, disputes and litigation in 
Australia. The principles are available on anz.com. 
–  The dedicated Indigenous telephone service we established  
in May 2019 has answered 6,641calls since inception, with  
an average speed to answer of 62 seconds as at  
30 September 2020.
–  We committed to the Australian Financial Complaints 
Authority’s (AFCA) ‘look back’ under its new limits, and to  
fully cooperate with AFCA as it resolves disputes. We 
established a dedicated team responsible for investigating 
legacy complaints, which could be lodged with AFCA until  
30 June 2020. 179 legacy complaints were lodged, of which 
134 have been closed. The remaining 45 cases are at various 
stages of the AFCA process and we remain committed to 
resolving these where possible.
Management of Operational Risk – We continue to invest in  
a simplified operating environment, improved strength of systems 
and processes, improved control effectiveness, and improved  
risk capability.
Strengthening our approach to human rights 
We recognise our business activities can have human  
rights impacts. To manage these impacts we embed our 
expectations across our business activities and relationships 
via group-wide policies, training programs, and customer 
and supplier screening tools and policies. 
This year we commenced a review to strengthen our human 
rights policies and processes, aligning our approach more 
closely with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and 
Human Rights. This has included a review of our minimum 
standards for business customer grievance mechanisms and 
community engagement, which we expect to complete in 
2021. Our approach is being informed by a working group 
of external stakeholders, including NGOs, academics, trade 
unions, customers, industry associations and human  
rights consultants.1 
Modern slavery
We are preparing our first statement in response to the 
Australian Modern Slavery Act. 
Modern slavery is serious exploitation of people which 
undermines or deprives them of their freedom including 
forced labour, deceptive recruiting and child labour. 
The Australian legislation requires us to identify, assess and 
manage risks in our business operations and supply chain. 
We have identified three key areas in which to improve 
our practices: 
Remediation – Our customer remediation program continues.  
An update on our progress is included on page 21 of this report. 
 • building awareness of modern slavery through 
training and education;
Simplification – We have taken strategic action to simplify our 
business, products and processes. For example, we completed  
the sale of our New Zealand asset finance business, UDC Finance,  
in September 2020; and we completed the sale of our Pensions and 
Investments business to IOOF Holdings Limited on 31 January 2020.
 • policy and process improvements; and
 • enhancing our due diligence.
Further detail on our approach to human rights is in 
our 2020 ESG Supplement available at anz.com/cs.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportOur customers
Supporting our customers through the Australian bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic has been 
our primary focus this year, but we have not lost sight of our longer-term priorities – to help 
improve the financial wellbeing of our customers and to increase access to more affordable  
and sustainable homes.
We are seeking to ensure our products are suited to our customers’ 
needs and meeting expectations. We are implementing digital 
banking solutions designed to improve financial wellbeing, and 
protecting customers from those seeking to take criminal advantage 
of the shift to digital banking. We are listening to customers and 
managing complaints, taking steps to remediate when necessary 
and learning from our mistakes. And we are supporting innovative 
housing delivery models across the private, public and not-for-profit 
sectors to increase the availability and affordability of homes  
in Australia and New Zealand.
Supporting customers during difficult times
Financial relief packages were implemented quickly to support 
customers affected by the bushfires that devastated parts of 
Australia over the summer months. This included the ability to 
suspend loan and credit card repayments, temporary interest rate 
relief, and early access to term deposit funds without incurring fees.
Specialised ATMs were deployed to impacted centres, and hardship 
support was provided through referrals and funding to community 
counselling services. Proactive contact was made with small 
business customers in affected areas and through our insurance 
partner QBE, prioritisation was given to claims, including emergency 
payments and temporary accommodation costs. 
See page 8 for information on how we are supporting our 
customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. For discussion on the 
specific supports available to customers experiencing vulnerability 
see our 2020 ESG Supplement available at anz.com/cs. 
Product suitability
We are helping our customers better understand how to get more 
value from their products – such as by showing them how to adjust 
their use of a particular product, or identifying when there may be 
an alternative product better suited to their needs. Our Product 
Suitability team develops and manages a number of customer 
contact programs to support improved customer outcomes and 
enhance customers’ financial wellbeing. Program results are 
reported quarterly to the Board. 
Improving customer experience through  
digital innovation
We need to ensure our customers can rely on us to provide them 
with secure remote access to banking products and services. 
Digital platforms such as mobile and internet banking make it 
possible for customers to serve themselves, anywhere, anytime and 
we are adapting the way we operate to respond to our customers' 
changing banking habits.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital banking, 
with mobile phone banking our fastest growing channel. We have 
provided additional education and support for customers using 
digital channels for the first time this year, with 300 extra staff 
retrained and deployed to assist.

Over the last 12 months we have rolled out several new self-service features to the 
ANZ App, including the ability to open new accounts, activate a card, set or change 
a card PIN and temporarily block and unblock a card to protect an account from 
theft and fraud. To date, more than 22,000 new accounts have been opened, 760,000 
debit and credit cards have been activated, 807,700 card pins have been set or 
changed, and 45,300 temporarily block and unblock card requests have been 
processed through the ANZ App.

 INCREASING THE VALUE CUSTOMERS RECEIVE FROM OUR PRODUCTS
Our Concession Account Suitability program contacts customers in receipt of eligible Centrelink or Veterans’ Affairs benefits with  
an offer to move to a low-cost basic bank account. To date we have contacted more than 335,000 customers (210,000 this year) with 
more than 14,600 taking up the offer to move to a basic account. From 19 March to 22 July the program was paused as we shifted 
our focus to supporting customers impacted by COVID-19.
Our Persistent Credit Card Debt program identifies and contacts credit card customers who are carrying persistent debt1 on their 
card to help them pay their debt faster. Customers are offered financial education, and the opportunity to close their card and repay 
the remaining debt at a lower interest rate. To date, we have contacted 18,195 customers with 1,450 customers taking up the offer. 
This program was also paused while we focused on supporting customers impacted by COVID-19. 
We are implementing digital solutions designed to make banking 
easier and improve the financial wellbeing of our customers.
In Australia, we launched the ‘set a savings goal’ feature in the ANZ 
App to help customers better manage their money and develop 
savings habits. Customers receive personalised in-app notifications, 
encouraging them to set a goal, stay on track and celebrate 
milestones along the way. One in 10 active App users has set a goal 
this year. There are now more than 240,800 active or achieved goals 
in the App, with 24% of these saving for a house, followed by a 
holiday (17%). 
In New Zealand, we introduced several new self-service features to 
ANZ goMoney and internet banking, including fixed-rate rollovers. 
Customers with an existing fixed-term home loan or flexi home 
loan, who want to fix their rate, can now request a personalised rate 
for their loan facility and term (based on current market rates) 
without needing to call us or visit a branch. One third of all home 
loan fixed-rate requests are now completed digitally. 
We also implemented customer alerts to mobile phones, letting 
customers know when they receive a deposit or have a low balance, 
assisting them to manage their finances.
Protecting our customers in a digital world
We have seen a significant increase in malicious emails 
seeking to take advantage of our customers, with 
cyber criminals capitalising on more internet traffic 
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Malicious email 
tactics include those that claim to have links to maps 
of virus outbreaks and related information, tricking people into 
downloading malicious software. 
The threat landscape is changing at a rapid pace, and we have 
responded in kind, moving to leverage automation, machine 
learning and advanced analytics. We invest heavily in our cyber 
security capability, and remain in a strong position to keep our 
systems, data and customers safe from the increasing pace, scale 
and sophistication of cyber attacks. 
Our threat intelligence and 24/7 Security Operations Centre analyses 
millions of data events every day to help keep customers, employees 
and the bank safe online. As malicious campaigns are identified, we 
implement targeted, automated capability to block them. 
During a 30 day period near the start of the pandemic we blocked 
around 550,000 COVID-19-themed emails, and during July 2020 we 
blocked over 12 million malicious emails alone, an increase of more 
than 8 million emails compared to October 2019.
In the context of the changing threat landscape, ANZ did report a 
major security event to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the 
Australian Prudential Regulation Authority in the financial year 2020, 
as a result of a distributed denial of service2 attack in New Zealand. 
While this attack was similar to what was experienced by other 
organisations, we were able to proactively detect the activity and 
mitigate the risks through preventative security controls, resulting in 
minimal disruption to our operations and customer services, and no 
impact to customer data.
  HIGHLIGHT  
 MAKING SMALL BUSINESS LENDING EASIER
This year we launched ANZ Online Business Lending. The 
platform provides conditional approval for up to $200,000 in 
unsecured lending in as little as 20 minutes and access to 
funds within four days. Customers using ANZ Online 
Business Lending have access to fixed-and variable-term 
loans as well as overdraft facilities.
As the economy recovers from the impacts of COVID-19, 
helping small businesses to access capital in a fast and 
convenient way is critical.
According to Mark Hand, ANZ’s Group Executive, Australia 
Retail and Commercial Banking, “While the current 
economic crisis will be devastating for some businesses, 
there has also been a great deal of resilience and some will 
be able to come out the other side even stronger. We’re also 
starting to see new businesses being created to meet 
emerging customer needs.
“This sophisticated new technology is deeply integrated 
with ANZ’s existing platforms to provide our customers with 
a quick, simple and secure lending experience so they can 
spend more time running and growing their business.”

 SCAM ASSIST
Measuring customer experience
During the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen an increase 
in customers falling victim to scams, particularly remote 
access and investment scams. Digital fraud attempts have 
also increased.
In addition, we have seen a number of customers trying to 
supplement lost earnings through investments purported 
to be high-yield options, such as crypto-currencies.
In 2020, our Australian Scam Assist team investigated  
over 5,000 individual scams impacting our Australian Retail 
and Commercial customers and recovered approximately 
$25 million on behalf of some of those impacted.
As an industry, we face significant challenges in helping 
our customers not fall victim to scams. We work with law 
enforcement agencies, collaborating on a number of 
operations to identify and disrupt Australian based actors, 
particularly via the Fintel Alliance. Efforts to break-up criminal 
syndicates are focused on three key actions: customer and 
employee education; improved detection capabilities; and 
ongoing support of law enforcement disruption activities.

One of the ways we measure the experience of our customers is 
through our strategic Net Promoter Score (NPS). NPS enables us to 
gauge whether we are meeting customer needs and expectations 
and how we are performing relative to peers. It is measured by 
asking customers how likely they are to recommend ANZ (on a 0–10 
scale) and is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors 
(those who give a score of 0–6) from the percentage of promoters 
(those who give a 9 or 10).
While our performance relative to peers improved for our Australian 
Retail customers, we failed to improve relative to peers for our 
Australian Commercial and New Zealand Retail and Commercial 
customers. Our Institutional ranking remains at number one in both 
Australia and New Zealand.
Managing customer complaints
Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) plays a vital role in protecting 
customers. Fair and robust IDR assists with recognising and fixing 
problems that arise, both at an individual customer level and across 
the business. It allows us to ‘hear’ where changes need to be made 
and serves to inform us when we are not meeting customer or 
community expectations. 
In 2019 we commenced a program to review and improve our IDR 
policies, systems and practices, with program updates provided to 
the Board and ASIC. Capability and quality improvement initiatives 
support our objectives of fair, consistent and well communicated 
complaint outcomes to our customers. 
A foundational element of the IDR program was the establishment 
of a Customer Resolution portfolio in early 2020, which is dedicated 
to working with our customers when they have a problem:
 • senior executive leadership and complaint management 
expertise has been introduced to drive IDR uplift, along with 
supporting governance, data, analytics and transformation 
capabilities. 
 • the portfolio has been focused on improving the way we handle 
our customers' complaints in order to solve complaints earlier and 
improve the overall complaint resolution timeframes. Additional 
complaint handling staff have been also recruited to support 
timely complaint resolution.
 • we appointed a Vulnerable Customer Lead to continue the 
development of the Divisional vulnerable customer strategy and 
provide an important link as we support our customers during 
the COVID-19 pandemic and other life changing events.

OverviewHow we  create valuePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors’ reportFinancial reportShareholder informationAssisting potentially vulnerable customers 
to access their money 
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic around 7,000 of our 
customers only held a passbook account at ANZ. These 
accounts do not have the option of an ATM card or access to 
internet or phone banking. Customers with these accounts 
are typically over 70 years old with their pension income paid 
into this account. 
We recognised that our customers may have had difficulty 
accessing their money in the event of a temporary branch 
closure, or if they wanted to self-isolate. Our bankers were 
able to reach over 5,000 of these customers to check in on 
them considering their specific vulnerability during the 
COVID-19 pandemic. We also sent letters with information 
on everyday accounts with a Visa debit card that can be 
used for online/phone shopping, and ATM/store withdrawals. 
It also includes access to internet banking and no monthly 
account service fees. 
We developed a new process enabling customers to open 
an everyday account from their home entirely over the 
phone. We also implemented a technology change to 
enable passbook customers to establish a recurring transfer 
by phone to automatically transfer regular income, such  
as pension payments, from their passbook account  
to their new everyday account.
More than 500 of these  
7,000 customers chose to 
open an everyday account. 
Over 100 of our passbook customers 
set up a recurring transfer to move 
their pension income into their 
everyday account.
Improving our IDR practices
We are continually trying to find ways in which we can 
encourage feedback in order to provide better experiences 
and fair outcomes for customers. Some of the improvements 
we are working on include:
 • development of a new and improved complaints recording 
and management system
 • establishment of a Systemic Issues Management function 
with a focus on using complaint data and advanced 
techniques such as machine learning and artificial intelligence 
to identify issues early
 • continued investment in the capability of our people and the 
efficiency of our processes to help customers resolve their 
complaints as quickly as possible. 
Further information on customer complaint management 
is in our 2020 ESG Supplement available at anz.com/cs.
Customer remediation
We are delivering on our commitment to fair, responsible and 
efficient customer remediation. 
In an effort to fix our past mistakes as quickly as possible, we have 
increased remediation staffing levels significantly since 2018. Across 
the Group there are now over 1,200 staff working on customer 
remediation, with approximately half in dedicated remediation teams. 
Our Australian Responsible Banking team is resolving identified 
fee or interest discrepancies with over 5.2 million Retail and 
Commercial customer accounts. Since April 2018, we have 
refunded approximately $223 million across approximately  
2.9 million customer accounts7. 
Our pace of remediation has been steadily increasing and over 
the last 12 months we have remediated approximately 1.8 million 
customer accounts, compared to approximately 1.1 million over 
the 18 months to September 2019.8
In Australia, we have an education program to share ‘lessons learnt’ 
and to highlight to staff the impacts on customers when we fail to 
get it right. The program is aimed at raising awareness and fostering 
a culture where employees are clear on the role they play in 
delivering quality customer outcomes and safeguarding our 
customers’ interests.
The Group’s customer remediation activities are regularly reviewed 
by the Board. Directors are provided an overview of the status of 
remediation matters; regulator engagement; repayments and 
provisioning; and reviews underway to identify new matters.
7.  In certain instances:
• 
• 
• 
• 
 we make a payment to one of our community partners in lieu of a payment to a customer account. As at 30 September 2020 payments were made to ~238k accounts totalling $744k
 we pay the customer via cheque. As at 30 September 2020 cheques had been issued for ~521k accounts totalling ~$59m. A portion of the cheques remain unpresented
 we offer certain customers access to payment via a payment portal. As at 30 September 2020 offers to access payment via payment portal have been issued for ~10k accounts totalling ~$379k
 we transfer payments through a process for unclaimed monies (includes payments for de-registered companies). As at 30 September 2020 payments transferred via this process have been 
made for ~2k accounts totalling ~$1m.
8.  The matter is considered complete when all customer payments have been processed. In some cases, remediation teams may continue to close out non-customer payments, 
documentation and governance requirements beyond this point.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportImproving the availability of suitable and affordable housing
Housing-related lending is a key activity of 
the bank. We lend to home owners and 
investors, and for property development 
and infrastructure. We believe we can play a 
role in helping improve the availability and 
affordability of housing, including support 
for innovative housing delivery models across 
the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
At the end of 2018 we committed to fund 
and facilitate $1 billion of investment  
by 2023 to deliver around 3,200 more 
affordable, secure and sustainable homes 
to buy and rent in Australia. We have 
exceeded this target.1
In addition to the $1.02 billion of investment in 
Australia, we have also funded and facilitated 
around NZ$1.35 billion to support the delivery 
of social and sustainable housing across 
New Zealand.
We have continued to build our housing 
supply pipeline through direct engagement 
with our clients (new and existing), 
supporting innovative models to finance 
new supply. 
This year we have:
 • jointly arranged two additional bond 
issuances for the Commonwealth’s 
National Housing Finance and Investment 
Corporation (NHFIC), including the largest 
social bond for housing in Australia  
($562 million)
 • arranged bonds for Kāinga Ora (Housing 
New Zealand Corporation) to support the 
delivery of more social and sustainable 
housing (jointly NZ$1 billion; solely 
NZ$300 million)
 • supported the first Assemble Model, 
designed to bridge the gap between 
renting and owning a home to market2
 • invested in the development of a 
Specialist Disability Accommodation 
(SDA) pipeline
 • helped build the case for institutional 
investment in long-term rental housing 
through the backing of a range of  
‘build-to-hold’ projects.
We have committed to increase our  
target to fund and facilitate $10 billion  
of investment by 2030 to deliver more 
affordable, accessible and sustainable 
homes to buy and rent in Australia  
and New Zealand.
  HOUSING   
 DELIVERING ACCESSIBLE HOUSING OPTIONS TO MARKET
As part of the roll-out of the National 
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in 
Australia the government has contributed 
funding to Specialist Disability 
Accommodation (SDA) to encourage 
investment in the development of new 
high-quality housing for eligible people. 
Our Corporate and Institutional Health 
team is developing its expertise and 
capacity to ensure our ability to support 
this much needed housing supply to 
market. The benefits to help deliver better 
connection and opportunity for people  
in SDA are key drivers of our interest in 
investing in this emerging asset class.
Over the course of this year, ANZ has 
provided credit approved commitments  
in excess of $100 million to the SDA sector 
and closed its first transactions, partnering 
with our clients to deliver SDA housing 
and to aid them to grow a pipeline of  
new homes across the country. 
We have also worked with our existing 
property clients to facilitate the inclusion 
of SDA as a pre-sale element in their 
property developments. This has allowed 
them to partner with developer, Summer 
Housing, to include disability housing in 
mixed developments, providing residents 
with access to services and supports.
Our support is broader than debt capital, 
with the Summer Foundation receiving  
a 2019/20 ANZ Community Grant to 
support the roll-out of their Tenancy 
Matching service. 
“I am thrilled to be assisting people to 
navigate their own housing journey, 
courtesy of the ANZ Community 
Foundation, which funded a Summer 
Foundation project to deliver housing 
workshops in Tasmania for people with 
disability and their families,” said Liz Ellis, 
Summer Foundation convenor.
The workshops helped participants to 
identify where they wanted to live and  
to consider their specific housing needs 
and preferences. They also provided 
guidance on the different housing  
models available – including SDA  
(through the NDIS) and affordable housing.
Summer Housing project
1. Due to the lag between financing and commencement of development, number of homes will be audited and disclosed once projects have been delivered.  2. The Assemble Model is a 
new ‘build-to-rent-to-own’ hybrid model that bridges the gap between renting and owning a home. It offers residents a five-year lease with the option to purchase their home at the end of 
the lease. The purchase price is fixed from the start of the lease, giving residents a set goal to save towards and mitigating the risk of being priced out of the market during the rental period.

 INVESTING IN SOCIAL AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN NEW ZEALAND
Following the wellbeing bonds we arranged for Housing New Zealand Corporation in 2019, this year we jointly led NZ$1 billion  
of bond issuances and a sole placement of NZ$300 million for Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities, to deliver an additional 8,000 
new public housing and transitional housing places. All new homes will be built to 6 Homestar, meaning they will far exceed 
Building Code (NZ) standards for warmth, dryness and health.
As part of Kāinga Ora’s ongoing build program, already more than 3,000 public housing homes have been built with this rating 
around New Zealand. Not only are these new homes warm and dry, they also contribute to improved financial wellbeing of tenants, 
with energy savings estimated to be NZ$570 per household every year. 
Kāinga Ora brings together the KiwiBuild Unit, Housing New Zealand and its development subsidiary HLC, and is designed to enable 
a more cohesive approach to delivering the government’s priorities for housing and urban development in New Zealand.
In the last 12 months, 
we have lent over  
$60b, helping  
more than 170,000 
customers in Australia 
buy a home.
In the last 12 months, 
we have lent over

  LINKS TO 2020 GROUP PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 
Despite the serious challenges faced by the banking sector and community this year, our actions over previous years to simplify  
and strengthen the bank provided us with the capacity to support our customers at a time of need and strengthen our long-term 
relationships. While the focus has been on assisting customers in need, there has also been opportunity to build new customer 
relationships and enable more digital services that have been especially valued in a restricted COVID-19 environment. Institutional 
performance in key customer satisfaction/relationship strength surveys continued to be a highlight, and a new online payments 
experience has been processing ~1 million payments daily and providing digital self-service for Institutional customers.

Opportunities arise in 
challenging times
Mount Zero Olives is a small, 
family-owned and operated 
business in the Grampians in 
regional Victoria, producing 
and processing certified 
organic olives, olive oil  
and table fruit. 
They also partner with  
local growers to produce a 
range of pulses and grains. 
Supplying predominantly  
to restaurants throughout 
Australia, the business  
has been hit hard by the 
COVID-19 pandemic.
General Manager, Richard Seymour recalls 
the moment he first realised they were in 
for tough times.
“I have a really vivid memory of when the 
pin was pulled on the Melbourne Grand 
Prix in March and I knew we were in for a 
world of change.”
An ANZ customer for almost two decades, 
Richard found himself drawing on his 
strong relationship with the bank, 
developing a roadmap to guide the 
business through the pandemic.
“With the help of ANZ and our business 
advisor, we put together a vision which saw 
us quickly pivot to engaging directly with 
customers through an online platform. In a 
matter of months, we’ve been able to grow 
what was around 5% of direct sales to 
customers, to around 35%.”
Mount Zero’s customers have always valued 
its sense of brand, the foundation of which, 
according to Richard, is its proud heritage 
as a family business that values 
sustainability and supports ‘local’. 
“This has really resonated with our 
customers during the pandemic, as they’ve 
been able to reach out to a business 
directly that was already quite tangible to 
them, and not just a paper wrapper on a 
product on a supermarket shelf. They know 
who we are, where we are from and what 
we stand for, and they’ve supported us for 
these reasons.”
“As horrible as the outlook is for many small 
businesses due to the pandemic, it has 
presented an opportunity to drive change 
and come out stronger on the other side, and 
for that, we’re really grateful,” says Richard.

"This year has been an extremely tough time  
for our customers. We know not every business 
will survive but we also know there is opportunity  
for others. We will be working closely with  
our customers – no matter their situation –  
to understand their need and to find solutions 
that will help them succeed in the future."
  Mark Hand, Group Executive Australia  
Retail and Commercial Banking
Operating environment
Between drought, bushfires and COVID-19 it 
has been a tough year for the economy and 
many of our customers. 
Unprecedented levels of fiscal stimulus  
have so far sheltered Australia from the 
worst economic impacts and some areas of 
the economy are seeing opportunity, such 
as online retail, home exercise equipment 
and pet supplies.
Retail customers are accelerating their  
shift to online and mobile banking, limiting 
branch visits and moving away from cash, 
credit cards and personal loans. Instead 
they’ve been saving more, reducing debt 
and refinancing their mortgages. 
Although Australia is yet to return to normal 
activity, businesses are increasingly adapting 
to the new environment. Many of our 
commercial customers have proactively 
managed costs, been conservative with 
capital, and innovated during this crisis.
While we face headwinds from the 
economic contraction, lower business 
confidence and higher unemployment, we 
are focused on supporting our customers, 
adapting to the changing environment,  
and preparing for a more digital future. 
Strategy and focus
Our goal is to be a simpler, more efficient, 
well-managed business, that is the bank  
of choice for Australian home owners and 
business owners. Our priorities are to 
continue to fix our past mistakes, grow 
strategically and sustainably, reshape our 
business for a post-COVID world and 
prepare for a digitally-enabled and highly 
automated future. We are investing in the 
business through the economic cycle while 
continuing to reduce costs to a more 
sustainable level.
Fixing past mistakes and returning money 
owed to customers quickly remains an 
important focus. Since April 2018 we have 
remediated approximately 2.9 million 
customer accounts and issued refunds  
of approximately $223 million.
We further simplified the business, 
including by introducing a more targeted 
approach in the Financial Advice business 
to focus on affluent and high net worth 
clients, and announced the sale of 1,300 
offsite ATMs to Armaguard. 
Across our branch network, we invested 
heavily to open digital branches providing 
customers with new self-service options, 
including smart (deposit taking) ATMs and 
business cash deposit machines. We also 
restored momentum in the home loan 
book growing it by ~$10 billion in the  
year to $275 billion.
We launched our new Online Business 
Lending platform providing small businesses 
with conditional approval for up to $200,000 
in unsecured lending in as little as 20 minutes, 
and access to funds within four days. 
Performance highlights
Our response to the shifting environment 
has had a very real short-term financial 
impact – on revenue, profitability and returns.
Cash profit declined by 27% in 2020 
compared to the prior year. Through 
continued discipline, costs remain  
well managed, flat year on year.
Mortgage sales volumes are back to 2017 
levels, and Retail and Commercial deposits 
are up by $12.7 billion and $13.9 billion 
respectively. With lower levels of demand 
for credit, commercial lending was flat. 
In response to the pandemic we have 
provided assistance to our retail and 
commercial customers, including deferrals 
on home loans, personal loans, credit cards, 
business loans and asset finance as well as 
temporary overdraft increases. Around 
95,000 home loans and 23,000 business 
loans received repayment deferrals. We also 
increased the size of our hardship team and, 
diverted branch staff to support the 65% 
increase in customer calls for support. 
We contributed to communities through 
our bushfire financial relief package for 
customers, donated more than $1 million 
to support customers and communities 
impacted by the fires, and extended our 
special paid leave for employees who 
volunteer in emergency services. 
We received a number of awards, including 
Money Magazine’s Mobile Banking App of 
the Year, ANZ Canstar’s Small Business Bank 
of the Year Award for the third consecutive 
year and Agribusiness Bank of the Year 
Award. ANZ Private Bank won a number

Operating conditions
The external environment was challenging 
in 2020, particularly in the second half as 
COVID-19 impacted the global economy 
and supply chains. The pandemic led to 
sharply lower levels of activity in every 
geography and many sectors, and introduced 
significant uncertainty about the future for 
our Institutional customers. These immediate 
challenges were also conflated with disruptive 
structural change and geopolitical issues. 
At the same time, these disruptions resulted 
in strong activity in our markets and lending 
businesses, which responded swiftly to market 
volatility and unprecedented demand for 
liquidity. With a presence in 33 markets 
globally, our diverse business was prepared 
to support our customers and staff in our 
home markets and internationally. 
The pandemic has increased competition, and 
record low interest rates continue to narrow 
margins and place pressure on revenue. 
Slower global demand and competition  
led to lower trade finance volumes and 
revenues. In the face of these conditions, 
Institutional continues to sharpen its focus 
on the right customers in priority sectors 
and further invest in digital, data and 
automation to strengthen the business.
Strategy and focus
markets, valued our network and were in 
industries where ANZ had strong expertise. 
Four years on, this strategy is well 
progressed. We have reshaped the business, 
diversified our revenue streams with greater 
emphasis on lower capital-intensive products, 
consistently reduced operating costs, and 
strengthened our culture, while clearly 
establishing our position as the leading 
relationship bank in the region. 
In the early days of the pandemic we were 
able to move quickly to support our key 
customers, and in the 6 months to end-
March provided $16 billion1 in additional 
lending globally. We maintained a 
disciplined approach to pricing for risk  
and capital management, and undertook 
rigorous stress testing to manage credit risk. 
Lending volumes declined in the second 
half as global capital market conditions 
improved, enabling customers to access 
debt and equity markets and repay bank 
debt. Credit Risk Weighted Assets ended 
the year broadly flat. 
Through the pandemic, our digital channels 
came to the fore, and payment volumes 
increased 9.4% year on year. We supported 
hundreds of customers working from home 
by providing secure remote access via web 
and mobile, and helped reduce customer 
net losses from fraud by 62%. 
In 2016, Institutional laid out a strategy to 
build the best bank for clients moving goods 
and capital across the region. Our aim was to 
be simpler for our customers and employees, 
resilient through the cycle and increase return 
on equity. We became more targeted and 
focused on customers who would benefit 
from regional growth, had a link to our home 
We were recognised for supporting our 
customers, and we maintained our leading 
market positions across key geographies  
(#1 in Australia and New Zealand2, #5 in  
Asia3 for market penetration). This included 
#1 for overall relationship quality in Asia3  
and #1 for Net Promoter Score in  
Australia and New Zealand2. 
Performance highlights 
Institutional continued to deliver the benefits 
of a simpler, more disciplined and resilient 
business in 2020, delivering 1% cash profit 
growth compared to the prior year despite 
tougher economic conditions. Net loans and 
advances declined 4% after peaking in the 
middle of the year, while customer deposits 
grew 3%.
The results demonstrated the value  
of customer, product and geographic 
diversification within the business. In a  
low interest rate environment, Transaction 
Banking and Corporate Finance revenue 
declined in 2020, down 15% and 1% 
respectively. Markets revenue increased by 
49%, as customers sought to manage their 
financial risks amidst heightened volatility  
in Global Markets. 
Geographically, lower profit in Australia was 
offset in Asia Pacific, Europe & America and 
New Zealand, mainly due to higher markets 
revenue as customers managed foreign 
exchange, interest rate, credit and 
commodity price risks.
The Division’s focus on productivity 
contributed to another year of cost reduction, 
with lower full time equivalent staff, property 
efficiencies and reduced discretionary spend. 
Credit charges increased with tougher 
economic conditions and lower forecast 
economic growth, however, the credit 
quality of the book remains strong.
Through 2020, ANZ Institutional helped 
arrange the largest social bond by an 
Australian issuer for the National Housing 
Finance and Investment Corporation, as well 
as $72 billion in funding for the Australian 
Government’s COVID-19 support package.

“ As New Zealand’s largest bank, we’ve been in a unique 
position to assist thousands of businesses and many more 
individuals through what has been a tough year for many. 
Despite a challenging year, I’m proud that we’ve been able 
to continue to support our customers, our communities 
and our people.” 
Antonia Watson, Chief Executive Officer New Zealand
Operating conditions
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic New 
Zealand’s economy remained in an enviable 
position relative to many others. 
The housing market responded to record 
low home loan rates, while being shielded 
from the economic slowdown by the 
mortgage payment deferral scheme and 
the government’s wage subsidy scheme. 
Surveyed business activity indicators  
have increased since February 2020, now at 
similar levels to pre-pandemic, brightening 
the outlook for near-term growth. 
However, uncertainty, rising unemployment 
and winding down of income support 
measures will cause some discomfort,  
and the impact of the closed border will 
play a role in the economy for some time. 
Helpfully, and providing some offset, 
 New Zealand’s export prices are holding 
up, indicated by ongoing resilience in 
export prices relative to other commodities 
and strong operational models in our  
core industries.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has  
taken a medium-term outlook with a 
current focus on quantitative easing. 
They confirmed increased capital 
requirements, originally due to start taking 
effect from July 2020, have been delayed  
by at least one year.
Business focus
We remain committed to delivering great 
customer experiences and outcomes.
ANZ New Zealand implemented key 
government-led initiatives in response to 
COVID-19 and a major program of reduced 
fees, charges and interest rates. 
1. Adjusting for the sale of UDC
ANZ led the waiving of Merchant Service 
Fees on existing customers’ contactless 
debit capability for a limited time and 
permanently reduced them after the 
COVID-19 lockdown.
Since the pandemic we have provided 
financial help to around 43,000 personal, 
home and business loan customers through 
repayment deferrals, restructures or 
adjustments, covering lending of around 
NZ$27 billion.
Data and digital initiatives included the 
launch of our electronic verification and  
use of data to identify customers who  
may be experiencing hardship. 
We continued refining our physical 
presence to fewer, improved branches 
and reduced hours for selected regional 
branches, enabling an efficient and 
simplified operating model. ANZ New 
Zealand is part of an industry-led trial  
for banking hubs in regional areas. 
We completed the sale of UDC Finance 
Limited to Shinsei Bank in line with our 
simplification strategy. 
We announced the Bonus Bonds Business 
would close to new investment and that  
we intend to start winding up the scheme 
by the end of October 2020.
In the environmental space, ANZ provided 
public submissions to government, completed 
New Zealand’s first sustainability-linked loan 
and arranged the country’s first inflation-
linked sustainability bond.
We aided farmers’ decision-making through 
proprietary digital tools including our dairy 
and red meat dashboards and a geospatial 
tool that analyses weather, soil and  
contour data. 
Performance highlights 
Despite difficult conditions, we maintained 
a leading position in core banking products 
with ~31% share of mortgages and ~33% 
share of households deposits (August 2020) 
and ~22% share of KiwiSaver (June 2020).
Net loan and advances were flat for the year, 
underlying1 net loans and advances grew 
by 3%, driven by home lending growth of 
6%, and the housing market has remained 
reasonably resilient.
Customer deposits grew 9% aided by 
inflows from the government’s wage subsidy 
scheme and increased system liquidity 
following quantitative easing measures 
from the RBNZ.
Revenue was impacted by interest-margin 
pressure from record low interest rates, 
simplifying and reducing fees, and a range of 
fee waivers initiated to support customers.
Higher credit impairment charges had a 
material impact on our results with a 
substantial increase in collective provisions, 
recognising the possible impacts of future 
economic and operating conditions.
Despite a trying year, our staff continued  
to play a role in their communities. Many 
helped to plant more than 25,000 trees 
across New Zealand as part of our 
partnership with Sustainable Coastlines,  
and volunteered over 6,000 hours. 
Our payroll giving scheme allocated over 
NZ $650,000 to 60 charities, and staff 
donating to the ANZ New Zealand Staff 
Foundation grew from 24.5% to 25.9%. 
ANZ donated a total of NZ$2m to Women’s 
Refuge, Age Concern New Zealand and the 
Salvation Army’s foodbank network to 
support people through COVID-19, and 
NZ$1m to grassroots cricket and netball 
clubs and initiatives nation wide.

ANZ 2020 Annual Report  EMPLOYEE STORY  
 LIFE BEYOND THE BRANCH
The ‘Beyond the Branch’ program was launched earlier this year and assists 
branch employees to move to business areas requiring additional resources  
to meet increased customer demand as a result of COVID-19. 
We benefit from transferring our  
branch employees’ customer focus  
and experience to the areas of greatest 
customer need – including our Customer 
Contact Centre, Customer Service 
Operations and Customer Resolution 
– and employees benefit from the 
opportunity to diversify their skillset  
and broaden their career. 
The program involves:
 • identifying the in-demand roles  
that are a match for branch 
employees;
 • distributing these roles across 
Australia, rather than having them 
based in our Melbourne head office;
 • actively promoting and providing 
visibility of the opportunities; and
 • soliciting the support of senior 
branch staff to advocate for the 
program and actively support  
people moving into these roles. 
Many branch employees have moved 
into the Collections and Hardship team 
as part of the program. We have also  
set up ‘hubs’ in Western Australia, with 
Queensland and New South Wales soon 
to follow, so as to ‘tap into’ the capability 
of branch staff outside of Victoria. 
Solarah Jupp has recently moved  
from a branch into the Collections  
and Hardship team.
“I originally applied for 'Beyond the 
Branch' as I believed the roles suited 
my skillset and I was really looking for  
a new challenge. Going through this 
experience has meant the world to me 
– it has broadened my career horizons 
far beyond what I could have thought 
possible in branch. I feel excited for the 
future and I’m looking forward to the 
next challenge.”
As at 30 September, 197 'Beyond the 
Branch' roles have been filled, with roles 
available in every state in Australia. 
Our people
Much of our focus this  
year has been on mobilising 
resources to support the 
changing needs of our 
customers and business 
during the COVID-19 
pandemic.
While we have continued to develop the 
culture, capabilities and behaviours needed 
to deliver our strategy, our top priority has 
been to protect our people, keeping them 
safe and well. As discussed on pages 8–9, 
our Group-wide COVID-19 response plan 
includes supports for vulnerable employees, 
employees working from home and those 
on the frontline supporting our customers. 
Mobilising our resources 
to meet demand
During March we began to experience a 
dramatic increase in calls to our dedicated 
hardship team in Australia. We received 
around four years worth of hardship 
applications in the space of only three 
months as almost 94,0001 customers 
impacted by COVID-19 sought assistance.
In response, we developed COVID-19 ‘Talent 
Mobility Principles’, the purpose of which 
was to ensure we had ‘the right people, in 
the right locations, at the right time’, to 
meet customer and community needs 
during the pandemic.
A campaign was run across Australia,  
New Zealand and India to help employees 
self-identify their skills and desire to move 
into critical areas of the business, such as 
our Customer Contact Centre. Over 1,000 
hours of customised virtual training was 
delivered to over 700 staff across our 
Customer Service Operations team and 
branches to assist them to move temporarily 
to in-demand roles. We have also recruited 
approximately 185 new hardship consultants 
and provided over 23,000 hours of training 
to our Customer Connect (Hardship) team 
to ensure ongoing support for our customers 
on a COVID-19 assistance package.

94% of employees said 
ANZ is supporting them 
during the pandemic, and 
95% said senior leaders 
have been

effectively. 
In response to COVID-19 
we launched the ‘Team 
Health Check’, a new 
team wellbeing survey, 
and we continue to run 
regular pulse surveys to 
measure engagement 
– results have remained 
relatively stable 
since April.
The success of our strategy is dependent 
on embedding a culture focused on 
delivering great customer outcomes, 
making things simpler and always learning. 
This work is underpinned by our purpose 
and values. 
We are taking steps to improve our culture 
and are enhancing how we track and 
measure our progress. Our Enterprise 
Culture Steering Group (ECSG), chaired by 
the CEO and whose membership includes 
other members of the Executive Committee, 
plays a critical role in guiding our efforts  
by helping us to understand our cultural 
strengths and development areas. 
This year the ECSG has considered the  
way our organisational culture has changed 
during COVID-19, including the opportunities 
and risks created by the pandemic – for 
example, cross-team collaboration and a 
focus on execution were identified as 
strengths that have enabled us to deliver 
positive customer outcomes.
ownership of outcomes. There are 
some reoccurring themes with respect 
to challenges, and we are seeking to  
tackle these through initiatives focused  
on leadership engagement and change 
programs; networking sessions to improve 
collaboration and role clarity across functions; 
and career development opportunities 
such as secondments and ‘job shadowing’.
Accountability and 
Consequence Framework
In 2020, we continued to strengthen  
and embed the Accountability and 
Consequence Framework (A&CF). The 
Consequence Review Group (CRG), which 
is chaired by the CEO, supports the Board 
in monitoring the implementation and 
ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s A&CF, being 
cognisant of its impact on the culture of 
ANZ. The CRG reviews material events, 
accountability and the application of 
suitable consequences where appropriate. 
See section 6 of the Remuneration  
report for more details. 
Culture assessments
Changes to remuneration
Our Internal Audit group has continued  
to conduct culture reviews throughout the 
year, supporting businesses and functions 
to understand their culture and impact  
on ANZ’s aspirational and risk culture.
Assessments are undertaken through a 
combination of quantitative and qualitative 
analysis, including surveys, focus groups 
and interviews. Since 2016, we have 
conducted nearly 2,000 focus groups and 
interviews and more than 25,000 employees 
have participated in culture surveys. 
Once complete, a report on cultural 
themes, including underlying issues and 
related impacts, is provided to the business. 
The business must then develop an action 
plan to mitigate any identified cultural 
challenges. The plan is monitored and  
the effectiveness of the actions in shifting 
towards the desired culture is reviewed 
before it is ‘closed’. 
Internal Audit completed 18 culture reviews 
in 2020, 11 of which were re-assessments. 
Actions undertaken to address cultural 
challenges have generally been effective, 
particularly where leaders have taken 
As part of the Group’s Reimagining Reward 
program effective 1 October 2019, we made 
adjustments to the remuneration mix for 
staff, which included replacing individual 
variable remuneration for around 80% of 
employees with variable remuneration 
based on the overall performance of the 
Group. These changes respond to many of 
the concerns about ‘bonus culture’ raised in 
the final report of the Royal Commission, 
and form part of the wide-ranging reforms 
for 2020 regarding how we reward, recognise 
and manage the performance of employees. 
We are implementing the recommendations 
from Stephen Sedgwick’s ‘Retail Banking 
Remuneration Review’, which is focused  
on strengthening the alignment of retail 
bank incentives, sales practices and good 
customer outcomes. Recommendations 
ANZ is delivering independently are now 
100% complete and were implemented 
ahead of the October 2020 deadline. We 
will continue to work with industry to 
progress the remaining recommendations.

Building workforce capability
To help our leaders support their teams 
through COVID-19, we provided additional 
guidance aligned to two of our desired 
leadership behaviours (referred to as our 
‘New Ways of Leading’), ‘Creating Shared 
Clarity’ and ‘Empowering People’. We want 
our people leaders to display these behaviours 
in order to inspire and engage their teams, 
helping them to deliver on the bank’s 
strategic imperatives. When we surveyed 
our people in July, we saw an increase in 
leaders modelling all of these behaviours.
We introduced a ‘Leading Through Change’ 
program for our 7,500 people leaders in  
July, to help them lead with confidence and 
optimism during this period of ongoing and 
accelerated change. On completion, leaders 
are provided with new tools to support 
themselves and their teams to improve 
focus, adapt faster and be more productive.
We have also introduced a simpler and 
more flexible approach to performance 
management. This includes giving 
employees the ability to create and document 
meaningful performance and growth 
objectives in our new People+ system.
We are continuing to develop priority 
capabilities aligned with our strategy and 
aimed at ‘future-proofing’ our workforce 
– data and engineering are two key 
capabilities on which we are focused. 
We have recruited more than 500 software 
and systems engineers over the course of 
the year. The COVID-19 pandemic has had 
little effect on supply of this capability in  
the market and critical engineering talent 
remains scarce. In response, we are 
investing in innovative recruitment 
strategies and have a dedicated team 
working on talent marketing, proactive 
sourcing, and continuous improvement  
of the recruitment approach. 
We have continued to invest in the 
capabilities of our people through the 
provision of training and development 
programs. Almost 970,000 hours of learning 
were delivered in 2020, including over 
530,000 hours of compliance training. Our 
Way of Learning (OWL), our digital social 
learning platform, enabled employees to 
access learning materials relevant to their 
current roles and future career aspirations 
while working from home. The ability to 
access digital content anywhere, anytime 
and on any device led to a 29% increase in 
self-directed content access across the bank. 
Diversity and inclusion
We want our workforce to reflect the 
communities we serve and believe that 
leveraging the diversity of our people will 
drive innovation, making us a better bank 
for our customers. 
As we come to the end of our current suite 
of public diversity and inclusion targets,  
we have been reflecting on our progress 
and challenges. 
Our Women in Leadership objective focuses 
our effort on the categories with the lowest 
levels of female representation, being our 
Senior Executive, Executive and Senior 
Manager populations of the bank. This work 
is the key to closing our gender pay gap. 
Both our Key Management Personnel  
and Group Executive Committee are now 
gender balanced. The representation of 
Women in Leadership1 increased this year 
to 33.4 % (up from 32.5% as at September 
2019), falling short of our target of  
34.1% by the end of 2020. Our progress  
is monitored monthly by the CEO and  
the Group Execution and Performance 
Committee, and will remain a focus.
Over the last four years we have launched 
our Spectrum Program – a tailored program 
to support autistic individuals into the 
workforce – and our Return to Work 
Program for people who have taken a career 
break. We have welcomed new employee 
networks including Cultural Diversity & 
Inclusion, Faith and Mental Health & 
Wellbeing and been recognised as a leading 
employer for LGBTIQ+ inclusion, inclusion of 
people with disability and women. We are 
developing our second ‘Stretch’ Reconciliation 
Action Plan (RAP), reflecting and building on 
the lessons learnt from our previous RAPs.
We have promoted the participation of 
people from under-represented groups  
in our workforce, including Aboriginal  
and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people 
with disability and refugees. Challenging 
conditions, including most recently the 
COVID-19 pandemic, have impacted our 
goal of recruiting >1000 people from  
under-represented groups. We recruited  
185 people from under-represented groups 
in 2020, bringing the total recruited since 
2016 to 919.
We are currently finalising our new  
Diversity and Inclusion strategy and it will 
inform our approach and commitments  
for 2021 and beyond. 
Our new Diversity and Inclusion Policy  
is available at anz.com/corporate 
governance. 
  LINKS TO 2020 GROUP PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 
In a challenging year, significant capacity and attention was focused on managing through COVID-19 and the Australian bushfires, 
however, strong progress was still made on key priorities including embedding our new reward framework, building strategic and

Building financial wellbeing 
in the Pacific
According to participants 
surveyed in the 2019 
MoneyMinded Impact 
Report, almost 50% of 
people in Fiji and Kiribati 
frequently run short of 
money for food and other 
regular expenses. 
To help improve this 
situation ANZ has partnered  
with the United Nations 
Development Programme 
(UNDP) to deliver its  
adult financial education 
programs, MoneyMinded 
and Business Basics. 
The program will be delivered to female 
small business owners in rural areas across 
Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga,  
and Vanuatu. 
Deputy Team Leader for Inclusive Growth  
at the UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji, Patrick 
Tuimalealiifano, said the partnership is  
more than just balancing a budget. 
The MoneyMinded program is helping 
Pacific people create a positive vision for 
their future,” he said.
ANZ Regional Executive Pacific, Tessa Price, 
said the partnership with UNDP enables 
ANZ MoneyMinded to reach deeper into 
rural communities and target different 
groups of people, particularly women.
“A big part of our work is on helping women 
in low income households to have financial 
security and control over their future and 
the future of their families. 
“Building financial literacy and business 
acumen translates into confidence and over 
time we start seeing these women emerge 
as community leaders, entrepreneurs  
and successful businesswomen. 
“We’ve already done a lot of work with  
a number of different groups, including 
seasonal workers who receive MoneyMinded 
training before they travel to Australia and 
New Zealand. This partnership with the 
UNDP means we will be reaching straight  
to the heart of rural communities and  
to women who are at the heart of the 
household,” she said.

Financial wellbeing
Helping improve the financial wellbeing of our customers is core to our strategy. 
We have in particular demonstrated a long-term commitment to helping disadvantaged 
people build money management skills and savings capabilities through our financial 
inclusion programs.
Being in control of personal and household finances generates improved long-term  
financial health and wellbeing, community connectedness and social participation.  
More broadly, it also contributes to the social and economic development of communities. 
Our financial inclusion programs 
Saver Plus was developed by ANZ and the Brotherhood of St Laurence in 2003,  
and is co-funded by ANZ and the Australian Government. 
Program participants open an ANZ savings account, set a savings goal and save 
towards it regularly over 10 months while also attending MoneyMinded financial 
education sessions. On reaching their goal, savings are matched by ANZ dollar for 
dollar, up to $500, which must be spent on education. 
Since 2003, Saver Plus has helped more than 47,770 lower-income Australians save 
over $24 million to support their own and their children’s educational needs, with  
ANZ providing over $19 million in matched funds. 
MoneyMinded supports adults with low levels of financial literacy and those on 
lower incomes across 15 markets, including Australia and New Zealand. It is delivered 
by community partner organisations in Australia and New Zealand, and a mix of 
community organisations and ANZ employees in Asia and the Pacific.
MoneyBusiness has been operating since 2005 and is designed to build the money 
management skills and confidence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Since 
inception, it has reached over 82,520 participants and has been delivered in over  
320 communities through either Australian Government-funded service providers  
or ANZ’s partners.

We have continued to regain community trust following the Royal Commission, and while we know this year has been difficult for many 
people, we have had the opportunity prove the value we provide to the community. Our focus on our purpose and values, combined 
with strong governance and leadership, has enabled us to help support the community. While across the industry community sentiment 
scores have fluctuated during the year, in the RepTrak survey ANZ led for the majority of 2020 and was ranked second based on July to 
September results. We achieved an A- rating in the 2019 CDP climate change assessment, the leading score for Australian banks.
See section 4.5.3 of the Remuneration report for more details.
Supporting Australia’s rural  
and regional communities
Since 2003, we have been helping build 
vibrant and sustainable rural communities 
through our Seeds of Renewal financial grants 
program, administered by the Foundation 
for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR). 
The program has provided more than  
$5 million to help over 800 community 
groups. In 2020 we again donated $250,000 
to enable local community programs that 
support the ongoing prosperity of  
regional Australia.
Bushfire relief – helping 
communities rebuild
In January 2020, we donated $1 million to 
support our customers and the communities 
affected by bushfires, including $300,000 to 
volunteer fire services across New South 
Wales, Victoria and South Australia. 
We also matched a further $100,000 of 
employee donations to volunteer fire services, 
and allocated $500,000 to support local 
community services as well as home loan 
customers who lost their homes to bushfires 
and suffered ongoing financial hardship. 
Our $50 billion sustainable finance target 
now includes $1 billion specifically for 
funding and facilitating initiatives that 
support customers and communities 
impacted by disasters. Capital may be 
allocated for weather related events (such 
as bushfires, floods and cyclones) or to  
build resilience against non-weather  
related disasters such as pandemics. 
Workplace giving 
Our workplace giving program enables 
employees in Australia to make contributions 
to around 30 charity partners – many of 
which operate in areas aligned to our 
priority areas of financial wellbeing, 
environmental sustainability and housing – 
through regular pre-tax payroll deductions. 
Donations are ‘double matched’ – for every 
dollar donated by an employee (up to 
$5,000 per employee in a tax year) through 
the program, ANZ donates two dollars.
Our employees in New Zealand and Fiji  
can also donate through payroll to their 
respective staff foundations (charitable 
trusts that provide small grants) and  
ANZ double matches donations. 
Volunteering
Our Volunteer Leave Policy, which applies 
to permanent, regular and fixed-term 
employees provides for at least one day  
of paid volunteer leave each year. 
This year we also made available extended 
special paid leave for employees who 
volunteer in emergency services to ensure 
they were financially supported while they 
served their community during the  
bushfire season.
Contribution to public policy
We seek to contribute constructively to 
public policy formation and understand  
the perspectives of our community’s 
elected representatives, policymakers  
and regulators. We contribute to policy 
formation on business, economic, social  
and environmental issues affecting our 
customers and shareholders.
We are also a member of a number of 
industry associations that contribute to 
public policy debate and formation.
In 2020, our key membership  
payments included:
Australian Banking Association 
$3,258, 203
Business Council of Australia 
$93,500
New Zealand Bankers’ Association  
NZ $309,079 
Business New Zealand  
NZ $40,250 
We understand that our stakeholders are 
interested in the position we take on issues 
such as data security, privacy and climate 
change, and our membership of industry 
associations that develop policies and 
undertake advocacy on these issues.
This year, in response to stakeholder 
feedback, we reviewed the alignment of 
ANZ’s policy position on climate change 
with those of our industry associations.  
The outcomes of this review will be  
on anz.com/shareholder.
We have also committed to review our 
memberships of industry associations at 
least every three years. The results of any 
such review, including any material changes 
to our position, will be publicly disclosed.
Community organisation receives funding boost with Seeds of Renewal grant
In 2020, ANZ announced a grant of $15,000 to a NSW community organisation, ‘North Coast Community College’ for an Indigenous 
land management employment pathway project. The money contributed to strengthening economic participation and employment 
related activities for Aboriginal communities through the establishment of a training program run as a social enterprise.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportOur approach to climate change
We support the Paris Agreement’s goal of transitioning to net zero emissions by 2050 and  
are committed to playing our part.
We understand the impact – positive and 
negative – our financing has on climate 
change. Through our lending decisions, we 
support companies and projects that 
contribute to reducing emissions and that 
are resilient to a changing climate. We are 
confident we can do this in parallel with 
supporting strong economic growth.
Through our disclosures, we seek to provide 
investors and other stakeholders with 
information enabling them to assess the 
adequacy of our approach to climate 
change and our ability to manage the 
associated risks and opportunities.
This year we released an updated Climate 
Change Statement (available on anz.com/cs) 
that outlines our approach and strengthened 
commitments in support of a global transition 
to net zero emissions. We are focused on 
lowering emissions in key sectors, in a way 
that carefully considers the potential for 
community impacts and how we can 
mitigate these.
IN SUPPORTING THE 2050 GOAL, OUR APPROACH IS TO: 
Help our customers by 
encouraging them to  
identify climate risks and 
opportunities, create 
transition plans and report 
publicly on their progress
Support transitioning 
industries to help grow 
the economy
Reduce our own impact  
by managing and reducing 
emissions from our own 
operations
Engaging with 100 of our largest emitting business customers on their transition plans
We have engaged with 83 of our largest 
emitting business customers to support 
them to establish, and where appropriate, 
strengthen existing low carbon transition 
plans. This engagement will inform the 
development of a model that can be 
applied across our customer base. 
Within each industry our customers  
have different starting points. Through 
customer discussions and reviews of  
public disclosures we are developing a 
better understanding of our customers’ 
preparation for, and management of, their 
climate-related risks and opportunities. 
Insights we have gained from customer 
conversations include:
Energy: our engagement in this sector  
has initially focused on customers with 
thermal coal operations; however, we are 
broadening this to include our largest oil 
and gas producing customers. While the 
impacts of COVID-19 have affected 
short-term demand, some customers are 
continuing to see strong demand for 
high-quality, low-cost Australian thermal 
coal for use in high efficiency, lower 
emissions (HELE) plants across Asia; their 
strategy is focused on developing high 
quality thermal coal assets and they are 
committed to improving their external 
disclosures. 
Other customers have undertaken  
scenario analysis (aligned with 
recommendations of the Financial Stability 
Board Taskforce on Climate-related Financial 
Disclosures (TCFD)), revealing that some  
of their commodities will not perform  
well under a low carbon transition; in 
response, they are limiting expenditure  
on thermal coal (with most capital directed 
to maintenance rather than expansion),  
or seeking to divest those assets. Some 
companies are starting to set firmer targets 
to work with their suppliers and customers 
to seek to reduce the emissions associated 
with the use of their mining commodities, 
ie ‘Scope 3’ emissions.
Transport: a key customer in the airline 
sector has committed to carbon neutral 
growth from 2020 and halving 2005 
emissions from international flights  
by 2050. This aligns with the goals of the 
international aviation sector.
Buildings: a number of customers have 
established and are now implementing  
net zero by 2030 carbon targets that will be 
achieved largely through improved energy 
efficiency and onsite solar installations.

CUSTOMER STORY
Supporting Wesfarmers to transition 
to net zero emissions
Headquartered in  
Western Australia and  
with around 107,000 
employees, Wesfarmers 
Limited is one of Australia’s 
largest listed companies,  
with diversified operations 
spanning across almost  
30 retail and industrial 
businesses. 
Better known for its consumer brands such 
as Bunnings, Kmart and Officeworks, it also 
has interests in fertilisers, chemicals and in 
the energy sector. 
In September this year, it announced an 
accelerated agenda to set and achieve net 
zero emissions for its retail operations by 
2030, and its industrial businesses by 2050. 
This is on top of existing 2025 emissions 
reduction targets.
Naomi Flutter, an Executive General 
Manager at Wesfarmers said its climate 
action was driven by a commitment to 
contributing positively to the global goal  
of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
36
Wesfarmers has banked with ANZ since the 
1980s and we are supporting the company 
in its transition journey.
“We value the role ANZ plays as a key 
banking partner – especially with respect 
to the open and constructive dialogue we 
have with them on our transition agenda,” 
says Naomi.
“For us, transitioning to achieve net zero 
emissions from our business is about doing 
what’s right and good for the environment, 
and we want to step up and contribute  
in a responsible way. It’s also what our 
customers believe in and want from us,  
and so from that perspective it also  
makes good business sense.”
To achieve its goals, Naomi says Wesfarmers 
is pulling on numerous levers to significantly 
reduce its emissions.
“We’re investing heavily in energy 
efficiencies in our retail businesses through 
new technology, solar panels and LED 
lighting. And in our industrial business  
we’re investing catalyst technologies  
to reduce emissions intensity.”

New Zealand’s agribusinesses leading 
the way on transition planning
Greenhouse Gas Emissions 
(GHG) from the food  
and fibre sector, (and its 
associated waste) account 
for around half of New 
Zealand’s total emissions.¹
Synlait Milk Limited is 
working hard to reduce 
emissions in line with its 
commitment to the Paris 
Agreement goals.
According to Hamish Reid, Director of 
Sustainability and Brand at Synlait, “we  
need to act now and we need to be bold. 
It’s both a matter of mitigating climate-
related risks and at the same time, seizing 
opportunities to reimagine all aspects  
of our business and value chain.”
Synlait is implementing a range of initiatives 
to reduce emissions and deliver long-term 
financial benefits. 
Targets relating to climate, welfare, water 
and waste have been set – including an 
off-farm² 50% reduction in GHG emissions 
per kg of product by 2028, and an on-farm 
35% reduction in GHG emissions per kg of 
milk solids by 2028.
Within its on-farm certification program, 
Lead With Pride™, educational resources 
and milk price incentives are being offered 
to its farmer suppliers to implement best 
practice GHG mitigation techniques. It  
has also recently opted for an energy and 
emissions efficient electrode boiler, rather 
than the traditional coal-fired boiler, to  
run its fresh milk and cream facility in 
Canterbury, NZ. 
Synlait has been an ANZ customer since 
2000, when the company’s founders bought 
their first few Canterbury dairy farms, before 
then expanding into processing in 2008. In 
2019, ANZ arranged and funded a NZ$50 million 
sustainability linked loan which has supported 
Synlait’s sustainability agenda.
“ANZ enabled us to enter into an ESG linked 
loan, sending two strong signals to our 
stakeholders. First, that leading banks today 
recognise that sustainability performance 
results in lower risk, and second, that 
sustainability performance can lead to 
financial benefits. Having a diversity of 
like-minded partners accompanying us  
in our transition is critical for us to achieve 
our goals,” says Hamish.
Another customer ANZ is assisting with  
its transition towards a low carbon future  
is Silver Fern Farms Limited.
Since 2018, the grass-fed red meat 
processing and exporting company has 
reduced its GHG emissions by 8%, and 
reduced its fossil fuel usage by 12% since 
2017. It is targeting a 30% reduction on  
2005 levels of the GHG emissions intensity 
of its operations per tonne of product 
before 2030.
“We’ve taken a number of steps to embed 
sustainability within our company, from 
being the first red meat processor to certify 
our carbon footprint in New Zealand, to 
having strong Board involvement in our 
sustainability agenda, to incorporating 
sustainability and climate reporting into  
our parent co-operative’s external 
disclosures,” says Justin Courtney, Head  
of Communications and Sustainability  
from Silver Fern Farms.
Silver Fern Farms uses a ‘whole of farm’ 
system approach to reduce carbon in the 
supply chain as a way to enhance the 
natural, biodiverse farming environments  
in New Zealand.
“In addition to our own initiatives, such  
as sourcing animals from farms rich in 
biodiversity and sourcing electricity from 
100% renewable sources, we’re proactively 
working with suppliers to better understand 
their carbon footprints and where the 
opportunities lie to reduce and optimise 
carbon absorption on their farms,” says Justin.
The engagement with our largest emitting 
customers on their transition plans is a top 
priority for ANZ, as we seek to support them 
to manage the climate-related risks and 
opportunities. Synlait and Silver Fern Farms 
are just two out of the 100 customers we 
are engaging with on their transition plans.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportBoard areas of focus
The Board and its Committees engage in key strategic, governance and oversight activities  
each year. The list below is not a comprehensive list of all the matters but is illustrative to  
provide stakeholders with an insight into some of the key matters considered by the  
Board during the year.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Over the year, Australia and the world has faced many crises,  
and the Board and its Committees have played an active role  
in providing oversight of the impact of and ANZ’s response  
to, them, including the bushfires in Australia and the  
COVID-19 pandemic.
In relation to the Australian bushfires, this included reviewing ANZ’s 
customer relief response, the impact to our customers, staff and the 
economy generally, ANZ’s public commitments and contributions, 
and ANZ’s next steps to support ongoing resilience for communities 
affected by this and future disasters. In addition to this, the Board 
attended a bushfire marketplace where ANZ hosted at its Melbourne 
Head Office small business customers and their peers who had 
been impacted by the devastating bushfires in Victoria where 
customers sold their goods and services.
In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board adopted a 
multi-faceted approach utilising the range of its Committees as  
well as discussions at the Board itself. At the onset of the pandemic, 
Directors received a weekly informal briefing as to developments, 
supplemented with more detailed discussions at Board and 
Committee meetings. 
Key topics of those discussions included:
 • the measures put in place to support our customers, customer 
take up of those measures, ANZ’s delivery of those measures and 
ongoing communications with impacted customers;
 • the impact of the pandemic on the economy (domestic and 
international, looking at both the immediate and longer-term 
impacts of the pandemic), on various industries, and ANZ’s risk 
approach to them, including risk appetite settings;
 • discussions regarding the impact of the pandemic on the 
financial performance and position of the Group, including in 
relation to capital requirements and the payment of dividends  
to shareholders;
 • the impact of the pandemic on ANZ’s people, and the different 
geographic responses undertaken in the jurisdictions ANZ 
operates in, the steps ANZ was taking to protect and support its 
people and to prepare and equip them for operating remotely, 
including looking at the potential cultural impacts this may have.
The Board also had numerous discussions in relation to geopolitical 
matters and their potential impact on ANZ’s operations.

ENGAGEMENT
The Board and its Committees  
also continued overseeing the 
important work being carried out  
by Management to implement the 
lessons learnt from the Royal 
Commission, progress against ANZ’s 
self-assessment roadmap, as well  
as ANZ’s approach to improving 
organisational and risk culture.
In addition, the Board continued its 
oversight of customer remediation, 
highlighting the importance to the Group 
of redressing customers when things go 
wrong and providing oversight of 
prevention and detection activities. 
The Board and its Committees also had 
detailed and regular updates in relation 
to interactions with regulators around the 
world, including ASIC, APRA, AUSTRAC, 
AFCA, RBNZ, FMA and MAS. Directors also 
met with key regulators during the course 
of the year with the purpose of maintaining 
constructive and two-way dialogue. 
The Board and its Committees also had 
numerous meetings in relation to 
developing ANZ’s Compliance Strategy, 
its approach to the management of 
non-financial risks, risk appetite settings 
and the triennial independent review  
of ANZ’s approach to compliance with  
APRA Prudential Standard CPS 220 “Risk 
Management”.
The Board and its Committees also 
discussed key environmental and social 
risk matters, including ANZ’s approach to 
climate change, reviewing and approving 
ANZ’s Climate Change Statement, reviewing 
ANZ’s industry association alignment with 
climate policy and changes to Modern 
Slavery and Human Rights laws.
STRATEGY AND THE FUTURE
The Board and its Committees 
continued to focus on longer-term 
strategic matters. Directors participated 
in an annual Board strategy session 
utilising internal and external experts to 
challenge and provide different points 
of view to assist the Board and 
Management in setting the strategic 
direction of the Group. 
The Board received regular updates on the 
implementation of the Group’s strategy 
from the Chief Executive Officer, and 
corresponding updates from Risk and 
Internal Audit in relation to their 
assessments of the risks associated with 
Management’s approach to implementing 
the strategy.
The Board also received numerous updates 
in relation to the strategic approach to 
digitally transform its Australian Retail  
and Commercial business.
Finally, the Board carried out succession 
planning in respect of the Chairman, 
with the Board appointing Paul O’Sullivan 
to succeed David Gonski, following his 
retirement on 28 October 2020.
In addition to the informal briefings 
around the COVID-19 pandemic, 
meetings with regulators and attending 
the bushfire marketplace outlined 
above, the Directors continued their 
approach to meeting with customers, 
staff and investors, both in person 
and virtually.
This included having a virtual session with 
all of ANZ’s Country Heads to discuss topical 
matters impacting their businesses.
A subset of Directors played an active role  
in attending meetings with Management 
throughout the year to actively engage and 
challenge their approach to stress testing 
the portfolio against severe but plausible 
events to inform risk appetite setting and 
capital planning processes.
Prior to the pandemic, the Board had 
established regular meetings in diverse 
geographic areas with a view to maximising 
interactions with customers, staff and other 
stakeholders. It is envisaged that this will 
continue when the environment allows it. 
During the financial year, the Board held 
physical meetings in Melbourne, Sydney 
and Brisbane.

OverviewHow we  create valuePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors’ reportFinancial reportShareholder informationRisk management
2020 has seen the external operating environment dramatically impacted by a number of events, 
notably the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of which continue to unfold. The strength of the 
ANZ Risk Management Framework has underpinned our response to the crisis. It has provided 
the flexibility to adapt to the rapidly changing environment while maintaining sound risk 
management practices.
Our progress
This year we have continued to invest 
in our Risk Management Framework, 
processes and systems which has further 
strengthened our ability to respond to 
changes in our existing risks but also deal 
with new risks that have been introduced 
through the increasingly complex external 
environment, with particular focus on the 
areas outlined below:
COVID-19
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we 
developed a range of support measures to 
assist employees and customers, and to 
maintain safe and secure operations. The 
risk management function contributed to 
the successful execution of this support, 
including through:
 • Enactment of our Business Continuity 
Plan enabling our operations to respond 
swiftly to the changing environment 
without material disruption to critical 
business services. This allowed us 
to continue operating through the 
pandemic by:
 – scaling of remote working capacity, 
enabling the majority of non-branch 
employees to work productively  
from home
 – ensuring no material impacts on  
critical business services
 – remaining agile and able to adapt 
to changing conditions in line with 
government restrictions. 
 • Continued partnering with our 
businesses to protect the bank by:
 –  prioritising the re-rating of the Wholesale 
book, with re-ratings complete for 
93% of our total Institutional portfolio, 
74% of our total Commercial Australia 
portfolio, and 83% of our New Zealand 
Commercial & Agri portfolios; and
 –  undertaking a series of industry deep 
dives and stress tests across our 
portfolios to assess potential  
credit outcomes.
 • Investment in systems, providing:
 –  enhanced data analytics to better 
analyse and observe customer 
behaviour
–   an improved collections and  
hardship platform that enables 
customers to manage their arrears 
online while facilitating holistic 
conversations with customers  
about their financial situation.
Culture and conduct
 • We recognise that an ethical culture is 
a pre-determinant for us to deliver on 
our strategy, and that in order to prevent 
unfair customer outcomes we need to 
be able to identify and understand any 
behavioural misalignment in order to 
take corrective action. This year, to further 
enhance how we measure, monitor and 
manage conduct risk, we have explored 
the use of behavioural science techniques 
to improve compliant behaviour and will 
look to apply the methodology more 
broadly in the coming year.
 • In order to align with ANZ’s aspirational 
culture, priorities for this year have 
continued to focus on transforming 
behaviours through: focusing on 
'speak-up'; continuing to strengthen 
our Accountability and Consequence 
Framework; fortifying leadership; further 
embedding the new remuneration, 
recognition and performance 
management framework; listening  
and responding to our people; and 
fostering an 'always learning' culture.
 • Risk culture (as a critical component of 
our organisational culture) remains an 
important focus for the organisation. In 
addition to targeted initiatives created 
to enhance elements of our risk culture, 
our evolution to a more explicit and 
simple approach to the management and 
measurement of risk culture will allow us 
to more easily monitor progress towards 
our desired risk culture state, and assess 
the effectiveness of our actions.
Non-financial risk
We are continuing to improve the way in 
which we manage our obligations and 
operational risks, following the redesign  
and simplification of our non-financial risk 
framework in 2019. Our Compliance and 
Operational Risk Strategy provides a 
comprehensive, proactive and well-planned 
approach to improving ANZ’s management 
of non-financial risk, guided by our purpose 
and contributing to the bank’s strategic 
priority to improve the financial wellbeing 
of our customers.
Financial crime
Protecting the Australian banking system 
from criminal use is one of our most 
important roles. We continue to invest  
in our financial crime risk management 
program to ensure we regularly assess  
and manage our financial crime risks.  
Our program is designed to be compliant 
with our financial crime obligations and  
we report information that is useful to 
government authorities to disrupt  
financial crime. Further information is 
in our 2020 ESG Supplement available  
at anz.com/cs.
49
ANZ 2020 Annual ReportEmerging risks 
The risk  
 landscape 
 is continually 
evolving and we are 
therefore constantly 
reviewing issues to 
consider their materiality 
to the bank’s operations. 
Three risks that continue to evolve and  
that we seek to better understand are:
Geopolitical risk: We continue to closely 
monitor and support our businesses to 
manage ongoing geopolitical tensions  
and uncertainty.
Cybersecurity risk: Our approach to 
mitigating cybersecurity risk involves  
a range of controls relying on people, 
technology and process and we are 
continually testing our defences internally 
and through independent third parties.  
For further detail on our approach to 
cybersecurity risk refer to pages 19 to 20.
Climate change risk: The financial risks 
associated with climate change remain a 
key focus. Developing an enhanced risk 
management framework that anticipates 
potential climate-related impacts, and 
associated regulatory requirements is a 
priority. We have set a new ESG target  
to develop this enhanced framework  
by FY22. For further detail on our  
approach to climate-related financial  
risk refer to pages 34 to 35.
Our Risk Management 
Framework
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 Committee 
reports regularly to the Board on its 
activities. The key pillars of the Group’s  
RMF include:
 • the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), 
which 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 operating 
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 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 Group operates a Three Lines- 
of-Defence Model in regard to risk 
management that helps embed a culture 
where risk is everyone’s responsibility.  
The business – as the first line of defence – 
has day to day ownership of risks and 
controls and is accountable for 
 identifying and managing its own risks.  
The Group Risk function is the second  
line of defence, providing a strong and 
independent oversight of the work 
undertaken to manage the risk, as well  
as developing and maintaining the RMF.  
The final line of defence is Internal Audit 
and includes independent assurance 
 that evaluates the adequacy and 
effectiveness of both first and second  
line risk management approaches.
The governance and oversight of risk,  
while embedded in day-to-day activities,  
is also the focus of committees and  
regular forums across the bank (see  
diagram next page). The committees  
and forums discuss and monitor  
known and emerging risks, reviewing  
management plans and monitoring 
progress to address known issues.
"The strength and adaptability of the bank's 
risk function has played a key role in helping 
navigate the organisation through the  
current changing environment."
Kevin Corbally, Chief Risk Officer
  LINKS TO 2020 GROUP PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 
COVID-19 introduced a range of both new and increased risks for ANZ, our employees and our customers. Our existing strong Risk 
Management Framework enabled us to respond well to these risks. We have continued to develop and improve our financial and 
operational resilience and have maintained our focus on managing risk controls, demonstrating accountability for fixing issues in 
a timely and sustainable manner. Strong progress continues on risk culture maturity, evidenced in employee engagement scores,  
with ‘Leaders accountable for risk’ (87%) – up on 2019, and ‘Raise issues without fear of reprisal’ (74%) – also up on 2019.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportKey material risks
The material risks facing the group per the group’s Risk Management Statement, and how these risks are managed, are summarised below. 
Note as part of the annual review of our Risk Management Strategy we have removed reputational risk as a key material risk. We recognise 
that reputational risk is largely a consequence of the impact of other material risks. Reputational consequences are therefore mitigated 
through the appropriate management of other material risks.
Risk type
Description
Managing the risk
Material  
ESG issues1
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 and Compliance 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.
Capital 
Adequacy  
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. 
Compliance 
Risk
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 the Group’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. 
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 debt; or 
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; 
 • the Group having insufficient capacity  
 • maintaining a strong structural funding profile; and 
to fund increases in assets. 
 • maintaining a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets to 
act as a source of liquidity in times of stress.

strategic risk. 
Risks that affect or are created by an 
organisation’s business strategy and 
strategic objectives. Strategic risk might 
arise from making poor strategic business 
decisions, from the sub-standard execution 
of decisions, from inadequate resource 
allocation, or from a failure to respond well 
to changes in the business environment.
The risk of loss and/or non-compliance 
with laws resulting from inadequate or 
failed internal processes, people and 
systems or from external events impacting 
on IT assets, including the compromise of 
an IT asset’s confidentiality, integrity  
or availability.
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. This identifies 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. We also have 
ongoing review mechanisms to ensure Operational  
Risk and Compliance Framework continues to meet 
organisational needs and regulatory requirements.
We consider and manage strategic risks through our 
annual strategic planning process, managed by the 
Executive Committee and approved by the Board. Where 
the strategy leads to an increase in other Key Material  
Risks (e.g. Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk)  
the risk management strategies associated with these  
risks form the primary controls.
Technology Risk is managed in accordance with ANZ’s 
Operational Risk and Compliance Framework, which is 
consistent with the management of Operational Risk.

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 the 
financial performance of our core business activities. We use cash profit internally to set targets and incentivise our Senior Executives and 
leaders through our remuneration plans.  
Refer to page 56 for adjustments between statutory and cash profit. 
Cash profit 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. 
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 and associated Group 
reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective (refer to page 67). 
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) 
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is causing major disruptions to community health and economic activity with wide-ranging impacts across 
many business sectors in Australia, New Zealand and globally. Additionally, many of the Group’s customers have been impacted by the 
COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, during the year the Group launched support packages for retail and commercial customers in Australia and 
New Zealand, including the option of an up to six-month loan repayment deferral. The Group is continuing to work with customers impacted 
by COVID-19 to restructure loans and in some circumstances will provide an extension to loan repayment deferrals for a further period.  
Regulators and governments have implemented a broad range of measures to promote financial stability in response to COVID-19. Those 
measures implemented by governments and regulators in Australia and New Zealand include financial assistance packages for homeowners 
and businesses, liquidity and funding initiatives to strengthen the banking system, and regulatory changes to capital requirements. 
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements. The Group has 
made various accounting estimates for future events in the financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect 
expectations and assumptions as at 30 September 2020 and that the Group believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There is a 
considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The underlying assumptions are also subject to uncertainties which 
are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those forecast since 
anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may significantly impact accounting estimates 
included in the financial statements.

OverviewHow we  create valuePerformance overviewRemuneration reportDirectors’ reportFinancial reportShareholder informationOUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
While pervasive across the financial statements, the estimation uncertainty is predominantly related to expected credit losses where the 
Group recognised a credit impairment charge of $2.7 billion pre-tax in the year ended 30 September 2020, the fair value measurement and 
recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets where the Group recognised an impairment charge of $815 million in respect of two 
of the Group’s Asian associate investments and an impairment charge of $77 million in respect of goodwill. For further details of these 
estimation uncertainties refer to the detailed notes in the financial statements. The ramifications of COVID-19 continue to be uncertain and it 
remains difficult to predict the impact or duration of the pandemic. 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED 
During the September 2020 full year, the Group adopted AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) and applied a modified retrospective transition approach 
in recognising all leases (except for leases of low value assets and short term leases) on the balance sheet based on the present value of 
remaining lease payments as of 1 October 2019. Consequently on 1 October 2019 the Group recognised an increase in lease liabilities of $1.7 
billion, a right-of-use lease asset of $1.6 billion, an increase in deferred tax assets of $37 million and a net reduction to opening retained 
earnings of $88 million. For further details on key requirements and impacts of the changes refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial 
statements. 
The Group early adopted AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform from 1 October 
2019. The standard modifies certain hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by 
interest rate benchmark reform. For further details on interest rate benchmark reform refer Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. 
CONTINUING OPERATIONS 
We believe cash profit from continuing operations is a particularly important performance measure as we continue to strategically reposition 
ourselves to create a simpler, better capitalised, better balanced and more agile bank. Key measures of our financial position and performance 
are set out below. 
1.
Information has been presented on a cash profit from continuing operations basis. Discontinued operations are detailed on page 67. 
2. The Directors propose a final dividend of 35 cents fully franked for Australia tax purposes (30% tax rate) and carry New Zealand imputation credits of NZD 4 cents per ordinary shares.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportOUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
Description of adjustments between continuing operations statutory profit and cash profit: 
Adjustment 
Economic hedges 
2020: $121 million 
2019: $118 million 
Revenue and 
expense hedges 
2020: ($36) million 
2019: ($19) million 
Structured credit 
intermediation 
trades 
2020: ($2) million 
2019: ($2) million 
 Reason for the adjustment 
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 derivatives not designated in accounting hedge 
relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt 
issuances and 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. The remaining two portfolios with a $0.3 billion notional value are being monitored 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. 
Revaluation of policy 
liabilities – OnePath 
Life (NZ) 
2020: nil  
2019: $77 million 
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 insurance contracts 
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 insurance contracts. With the 
sale completion of the OnePath Life (NZ) Ltd business this adjustment is no longer required.

Cash profit from continuing operations decreased $2,712 million (42%) compared with the 2019 financial year. 
• net interest income decreased $290 million (-2%) largely due to lower interest rates and competitive pressures resulting in a 13 basis point 
decrease in the net interest margin, partially offset by 6% growth in average interest earning assets. The lower net interest margin reflects 
lower earnings on capital, customers switching to principal and interest home loans in Australia and from variable to fixed loans in both 
Australia and New Zealand, a higher proportionate growth in the lower margin Institutional business and the impacts of growth in liquid 
assets due to increased system liquidity, partially offset by favourable short-term funding costs and growth in at-call deposits. The increase 
in average interest earning assets reflects the impact of foreign currency translation movements and growth in the Institutional banking 
portfolio, increases in average trading and investment securities and increases in average cash and other liquid assets.
• other operating income decreased $987 million (-21%) largely as the result of the impairment of Asian associates of $815 million, a reduction 
associated with divestments of $342 million, a decrease in net fee and commission income of $252 million excluding divestment impacts, a 
reduction in share of associates’ profit of $107 million, and a $79 million decrease due to widening credit spread impacts on loans measured 
at fair value in Institutional. This was partially offset by higher Markets Other operating income of $598 million.
• operating expenses increased $312 million (3%) primarily due to an accelerated software amortisation charge of $197 million, lease-related 
items of $85 million, higher restructuring expenses of $84 million, goodwill impairments of $77 million and higher compliance spend. This 
was partially offset by lower customer remediation of $164 million within operating expenses, and productivity benefits. 
• credit impairment charges increased $1,943 million largely due to additional collectively assessed credit impairment charges for the 
expected impact of COVID-19.

Item 
                Description 
Gain/(Loss) on sale of 
divestments 
The 2020 financial year included a loss on sale upon completion of the sale of UDC. The 2019 financial year included 
a gain on sale upon completion of the sale of OPL NZ, Paymark, Cambodia JV, and PNG Retail, Commercial and SME 
businesses. 
Divested business 
results 
The 2020 financial year includes the divested business results of UDC (comparative information restated). The 2019 
financial year also included the divested business results of the Cambodia JV, OPL NZ, PNG Retail, Commercial and 
SME, and Paymark.  
Customer remediation  Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers, remediation project costs and related 
customer and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation outcomes. 
Accelerated software 
amortisation 
Accelerated amortisation charge arising from the revised application of the Group’s software amortisation policy to 
reflect the shorter useful life of software caused by rapidly changing technology and business requirements. Refer 
to Note 20 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of the consolidated financial statements for further details. 
Asian associates 
impairments 
During the 2020 financial year, the Group recognised an impairment in respect of two of the Group’s investments to 
adjust their carrying values in line with their value-in-use calculations (refer Note 26 Investments in Associates of the 
consolidated financial statements). 
Asian associate AASB 
9 adjustment 
When the Group adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments on 1 October 2018, an estimate of PT Panin’s transition 
adjustment was recognised through opening retained earnings to align accounting policies. PT Panin adopted 
AASB 9 during the current financial year recognising a transition adjustment in retained earnings. The adjustment 
represents the Group’s equity accounted share of the transition adjustment net of the previous transition 
adjustment. 
Lease-related items 
During the 2020 financial year, the Group recognised charges associated with the adoption of the new lease 
accounting standard on 1 October 2019. Comparative information has not been restated for the adoption of the 
new lease accounting standard. 
Royal Commission 
legal costs 
External legal costs associated with responding to the Banking Royal Commission. 
Restructuring 
Restructuring charges largely related to business and property changes in Australia Retail and Commercial division.  
Goodwill write-off 
Pacific division: The impact of COVID-19 on the economies of the Pacific has been significant and is expected to 
take some time to recover. Goodwill of $50 million was impaired. No further impairment was required on the 
carrying value of other assets in the Pacific. 
New Zealand division: As a result of changes in the economic environment and outlook, the Group has announced 
its intention to begin winding up the Bonus Bonds business in New Zealand no later than 31 October 2020. As a 
result, the Group wrote off the associated goodwill of $27 million.

Net interest income decreased $290 million (-2%) largely due to lower interest rates and competitive pressures, partially offset by 6% growth 
in average interest earning assets. 
Net interest margin reduced 13 bps due to the impact of central bank rate cuts on low rate deposits, earnings on capital and replicated 
deposits net of repricing. This was also impacted by customers switching to principal and interest home loans in Australia and from variable to 
fixed loans in both Australia and New Zealand, higher proportionate growth in the lower margin Institutional business, the impacts of growth 
in liquid assets due to increased system liquidity, partially offset by favourable short-term funding costs and growth in at-call deposits. 
Average interest earning assets increased $49.7 billion (6%) reflecting growth in the Institutional banking portfolio, growth in liquid assets 
and trading securities in Markets, higher central bank cash balances, higher collateral and the impact of foreign currency translation 
movements. 
Average deposits and other borrowings increased $41.0 billion (6%) driven by growth in all divisions but particularly in the Institutional and

OUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
Gross impaired assets increased $430 million (21%) driven by the Institutional division ($169 million), Australia Retail and Commercial division 
($166 million) and New Zealand division ($102 million). The increase in the Institutional division primarily relates to impairments on a small 
number of single name exposures. The Australia Retail and Commercial division increase was driven by home loans with a combination of the 
implementation of a more market responsive collateral valuation methodology and impairments as 90 days past due exposures increased, 
combined with impairments on a small number of single name exposures in the commercial portfolio. The increase in the New Zealand 
division is driven by impairments on a small number of single name commercial exposures.  
The collectively assessed credit impairment charge increased by $1,700 million primarily driven by a $1,044 million increase in the Australia 
Retail and Commercial division, a $363 million increase in the Institutional division and a $236 million increase in the New Zealand division. 
The significant increases across all divisions are due to forward-looking assessments of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic driven by the 
deterioration in the economic outlook as well as management adjustments to recognise the risk of credit quality deterioration expected to 
emerge as COVID-19 stimulus and support programs ease. 
The individually assessed credit impairment charge increased by $243 million primarily due to a single name impairment in the Institutional 
division. This was partially offset by improved delinquencies in the Australia Retail portfolios combined with ongoing lower portfolio growth in 
the unsecured portfolio, and lower provisions in the Commercial portfolio.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportOUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
During the September 2020 year the collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses increased by $1,632 million. This was 
attributable to changes in economic outlook including impact of scenario weights of $1,018 million, COVID-19 related management 
adjustments of $592 million, changes in risk of $61 million and a change in portfolio composition of $46 million, partially offset by reductions 
from foreign exchange and divestments of $85 million. 
During the September 2020 year, there was a net increase in the individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses of $77 million. 
COVID-19 loan assistance packages offered to customers1

customers to meet their loan obligations. The assistance provided has included arrangements such as temporary deferral of principal and 
interest repayments, replacing principal and interest with interest only repayments, and extension of loan maturity dates. 
The Group does not consider that when a customer is first provided assistance, all other things being equal, that there has been a Significant 
Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) and a consequent impact on ECL when assessing provisions. Subsequent to take-up, customers have been 
contacted to discuss available options once the packages reach their end date. Additional information on the customer’s financial position 
and ability to recommence their loan repayments is used to assist in classification of customers into risk categories. Customers in higher risk 
categories, and those that have requested a deferral extension have been classified as having a SICR. The Group continues to work with our 
customers on arrangements in respect of their loan obligations once the assistance package has ceased. 
The categories of assistance packages provided and the amounts outstanding as at 30 September 2020 are noted in the following table:

OUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
  DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE 
Australia Retail and Commercial 
Lending volumes increased in the September 2020 half driven by successful home loan growth, partially offset by lower consumer 
demand for unsecured borrowing and increased customer repayments following fiscal and regulatory stimulus and a low interest 
rate environment. Net interest margin was flat as the headwinds from official cash rate decreases on low customer rate deposits and 
earnings on capital, unfavourable lending mix from proportionately more growth in lower margin home loans compared to higher 
margin unsecured lending were offset by home loan repricing benefits, lower funding costs and a favourable deposit mix impact. 
Other operating income decreased driven by lower credit card and international transaction volumes driven by COVID-19 impacts 
and fee removals. Operating expenses were flat with higher investment spend, higher restructuring expenses, additional charges for 
lease-related items, accelerated amortisation due to changes in application of the software policy and inflationary increases being 
offset by productivity benefits and lower remediation expenses. Credit impairment charges increased driven by collectively assessed 
credit impairment charges for the expected impact of COVID-19. 
Institutional  
Average lending volumes increased against the prior period. Customer deposits increased in Transaction Banking, partially offset by 
decreases in the other businesses. Net interest margin ex-Markets decreased mainly due to the impact of low interest rates on 
deposit margins. Other operating income increased due to higher Markets income, partly offset by lower volume related fee income 
in the transaction banking business with a subdued international trade environment. Operating expenses decreased as a result of 
lower personnel costs, lower discretionary spend, lower property charges and lower remediation expenses, partly offset by 
accelerated amortisation due to changes in application of the software policy and additional charges for lease-related items. Credit 
impairment charges increased due to higher collectively assessed credit impairment charge for the expected impact of COVID-19 
and an increase in individually assessed credit impairment charges in Transaction Banking. 
New Zealand 
Lending ended flat against the prior period impacted by the sale of UDC at the end of the year. Customer deposit volumes grew 
across all portfolios while funds under management increased during the period. Net interest margin decreased mainly due to lower 
interest rates compressing deposit margins. Other operating income decreased primarily driven by fee changes and lower volume 
related fee income and fee waivers due to the impact of COVID-19. Operating expenses increased due to higher investment spend 
on compliance projects, goodwill write-off related to the Bonus Bonds business, accelerated amortisation due to changes in 
application of the software policy, and increased restructuring charges. Credit impairment charges increased driven by higher 
collectively assessed credit impairment charges for the expected impact of COVID-19. 
Pacific 
Operating income for the Pacific division declined from the prior year due to the impact of COVID-19. Costs were higher largely due 
to a goodwill write-off. Credit impairment charges increased driven by higher collectively assessed credit impairment charges for the 
expected impact of COVID-19. 
TSO and Group Centre 
The 2020 financial year included the impairment of the Asian associates and a loss on sale of UDC. The 2019 financial year included 
the gain on sale of OnePath Life (NZ), Paymark, Cambodia JV and PNG Retail, Commercial and SME.

OUR PERFORMANCE (continued) 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS  
The financial results of the divested Wealth Australia businesses and associated Group reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as 
discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective.  
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’. 
  Sale to IOOF Holdings Limited (IOOF)  
On 17 October 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its OnePath P&I and ADGs businesses to IOOF. The aligned dealer groups 
business consists of ADGs that operate under their own Australian Financial Services licences. The sale of the ADGs completed on 1 October 
2018 and the OnePath P&I business completed on 31 January 2020. 
  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 was completed on 31 May 2019. 
Included in the ‘Cash loss from discontinued operations’ is:  
  a $18 million loss on disposal ($13 million loss after tax) was recognised in the September 2020 full year attributable to sale completion 
costs. The September 2019 full year included a $23 million loss ($81 million loss after tax) attributable to sale related adjustments and write-
downs, the reversal of the life-to-date cash profit adjustments on the revaluation of policy liabilities sold to Zurich, partially offset by the 
recycling on sale completion of gains previously deferred in equity reserves; and  
  customer remediation which includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and related remediation costs associated with 
inappropriate advice or services not provided in the pensions and investments and life insurance businesses.  An amount of $126 million 
pre-tax, $96 million post tax was recognised in the 2020 financial year (2019: $241m pre-tax, $207 million post-tax).

  Treasury shares adjustment 
ANZ shares held by the Group in Wealth Australia discontinued operations are deemed to be Treasury shares for accounting purposes. 
Dividends and realised and unrealised gains and losses from these shares are reversed as they 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. With the 
sale completion of the life insurance business to Zurich, there are no ANZ shares held by the Group in discontinued operations  
  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. 
With the sale completion of the life insurance business to Zurich, the 2019 financial year includes the reversal of the life-to-date cash profit 
adjustments on the revaluation of policy liabilities sold, reducing cash profit by $15 million from discontinued operations.

Cash/Settlement balances owed to ANZ/Collateral paid increased $29.4 billion (+29%) driven by an increase in balances with central 
banks, increased overnight inter-bank deposits, and an increase in short term reverse repurchase agreements, partially offset by foreign 
currency translation movements. 
Trading and investment securities increased $17.4 billion (+14%) primarily driven by an increase in liquid assets in Markets, partially offset 
by the impact of foreign currency translation movements.  
  Derivative financial assets and liabilities increased $14.6 billion (+12%) and $13.7 billion (+11%) respectively as interest rate and foreign 
exchange movements resulted in higher derivative volumes and fair values, particularly in interest rate and foreign exchange  
swap products.  
  Net loans and advances increased $1.8 billion (+0%), driven by growth in home loans in the Australia Retail and Commercial division 
(+$10.1 billion) and New Zealand division (+$4.4 billion), partially offset by lower credit volumes in other products as a result of the 
ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in the Institutional (-$4.1 billion) and Australia Retail and Commercial (-$1.6 billion) divisions, higher credit 
provisions (-$1.5 billion) as a result of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, the sale of the UDC business in New Zealand division in 
September 2020 (-$3.4 billion) and foreign currency translation movements. 
  Deposits and other borrowings increased $44.6 billion (+7%) driven by increased customer deposits in the Australia Retail and 
Commercial division (+$26.6 billion), Institutional division (+$11.8 billion), and New Zealand division (+$7.8 billion) and drawdown of the 
RBA Term Funding Facility (TFF) (+$12 billion). This was partially offset by a reduction in certificates of deposit (-$4.0 billion), commercial 
paper issued (-$2.7 billion) and the impact of foreign currency translation movements. 
  Debt issuances decreased $10.0 billion (-8%) driven by lower senior debt issuances. Funding was partially replaced by the RBA TFF, which 
is classified as Deposits and other borrowings.

The Group targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentration by investor type, maturity, market source and currency.  
$13.2 billion of term wholesale debt with a remaining term greater than one year as at 30 September 2020 was issued during the year.  
In March 2020, the RBA announced a Term Funding Facility (TFF) for the banking system. The RBA is providing a three-year secured funding 
facility to ADIs at a fixed rate of 0.25%. APRA has determined that the TFF qualifies for inclusion in determining the Liquidity Coverage Ratio 
(LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). 
ADIs can obtain initial funding of up to 3% of their existing credit outstanding to Australian households and businesses. ADIs have access to 
additional funding if they increase lending to small and medium-sized businesses. As at 30 September 2020, ANZ had drawn $12 billion from 
its initial TFF allowance of $12 billion and had drawn $0 billion from its additional TFF allowance of $6 billion.

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 assets portfolio on an ongoing basis in line with regulatory 
requirements and the risk appetite set by the Board. 
COVID-19 has impacted the normal operations of financial markets including funding markets, however the actions of governments globally 
and central banks including the RBA, RBNZ and the US Federal Reserve have provided significant liquidity support to the system and financial 
markets generally. ANZ’s liquidity measures have remained above regulatory requirements throughout this period.

APRA, under the authority of the Banking Act 1959, sets minimum regulatory requirements for banks including what is acceptable as 
regulatory capital and provides methods of measuring the risks incurred by the Bank.  
The Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 11.3% based on APRA Basel 3 standards, exceeding APRA’s minimum requirements. It decreased 
2 bps as cash earnings and divestments were offset by the impact of dividends during the year. 
At 30 September 2020 the Group’s APRA leverage ratio was 5.4% which is above the 3.5% proposed minimum for internal ratings based 
approach ADI (IRB ADI) which includes ANZ. 
Dividends 
Our financial performance allowed us to propose that a final dividend of 35 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share, 
bringing the total dividend for the year ended 30 September 2020 to 60 cents per share. This represents a dividend payout ratio of 45.3% of 
cash profit from continuing operations.  
The proposed 2020 final dividend of 35 cents per share will be fully franked for Australian taxation purposes, and carry New Zealand 
imputation credits of NZD 4 cents per ordinary share. It will be paid on 16 December 2020 to owners of ordinary shares at close of business on 
10 November 2020 (record date).  
ANZ has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the proposed 2020 final dividend. 
For the 2020 final dividend, ANZ intends to provide shares under the DRP and BOP through the issue of new shares.  
Further details on dividends provided for or paid during the year ended 30 September 2020 are set out in Note 5 of the consolidated financial 
statements.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportRemuneration report
Dear Shareholder,
2020 Remuneration Report – 
audited
In many respects this was not the year 
we planned it to be. However, despite the 
unprecedented combination of challenges 
from COVID-19, bushfires and ongoing 
industry transformation, management 
navigated the year extremely well and 
delivered the vast majority of the priorities 
and objectives agreed with the Board. Like 
many businesses, ANZ has been affected 
both operationally and financially.
From an operational perspective, we took 
swift action to ensure our people could 
safely and productively work at home, while 
still supporting customers during a period 
of significant stress. 
Since March 2020 we have provided 
142,000 home and business loan repayment 
deferrals in Australia and New Zealand – 
providing much needed relief for those who 
had either lost income or face uncertainty 
due to the pandemic.
Shareholders will be acutely aware of the 
financial impacts COVID-19 has had on the 
bank. Increased provisions for potential 
future credit losses (which the Board 
determined were appropriate), along with 
the impairment of two of the Group’s Asian 
associate investments, have reduced profits 
and our share price has also been adversely 
affected.   
remuneration on Group rather than 
individual performance for around 80%  
of employees. 
While these provisions were appropriate 
given the uncertain environment, they have 
reduced the amount of profit we are able to 
pay to shareholders in the form of dividends 
this year.
Aside from the financial impact of COVID-19, 
the Group Performance Framework met the 
Board’s expectations when considering the 
stretching objectives we set ourselves at 
the start of the year. Solid growth in our key 
markets, a continued simplification of our 
operations and maintaining our disciplined 
approach to expense management were 
key highlights. 
The Board was also pleased with the way 
the bank responded to the challenges 
of COVID-19 with our plan designed to 
protect our people and the things that 
matter, adapt quickly to the new operating 
environment, increase engagement 
with important stakeholders, including 
Governments and regulators and prepare 
for the future.
In 2020 we also moved to a new approach 
to how we reward, recognise and manage 
the performance of our employees as 
part of the Group’s Reimagining Reward 
program. This included basing variable 
Fixed remuneration
To ensure remuneration remained 
market competitive, the Board engaged 
PricewaterhouseCoopers in September 2019 
to assist the Board to conduct a detailed 
remuneration market benchmarking review 
for our Chief Executive Officer and our 
Disclosed Executives.
Shayne Elliott’s fixed remuneration was 
increased (effective 1 October 2019 before 
the COVID-19 pandemic) from $2.1 million 
to $2.5 million and this is reflected in this 
year’s Remuneration Report. Shayne’s Long 
Term Variable Remuneration was reduced 
by $700k, with the target decreasing from 
200% to 140% of fixed remuneration. 
The Annual Variable Remuneration target 
remained unchanged at 100% of fixed 
remuneration.
It should be noted that Shayne has not 
received a fixed remuneration increase  
since starting as Chief Executive Officer 
in January 2016, and his target total 
remuneration remains largely consistent 
with previous years.

Fixed remuneration increases were also 
applied to five Disclosed Executives 
on 1 October 2019 to improve market 
positioning, and one increase was made 
on permanent appointment. For the year 
commencing 1 October 2020, the Board 
determined there would be no fixed 
remuneration increases for any of the 
Disclosed Executives, including the Chief 
Executive Officer.
There were no increases to the Chairman 
fee or Non-Executive Director base fee for 
the 2020 year.
Variable remuneration 
outcomes
Shayne had a successful year and has ANZ 
well positioned to assist our customers and 
the community in the most challenging 
environment in decades, while also 
delivering a decent result for shareholders.
Shayne has role modelled ANZ’s values 
and culture, demonstrated outstanding 
leadership as well as making strong 
progress in simplifying and improving our 
operations. Despite this good performance, 
the Board took into account the significant 
impact of COVID-19 on returns and the 
profitability of our business as well as the 
impact on the broader community, and 
exercised its discretion by applying a 50% 
reduction to his 2020 Annual Variable 
Remuneration outcome.
As a result, the Board awarded an Annual 
Variable Remuneration outcome of $1.25 
million (33% of maximum opportunity)  
for 2020. 
Long Term Variable Remuneration of  
$3.5 million (reduced from $4.2 million  
the previous year) is proposed. This 
reinforces Shayne’s focus on achieving 
longer term strategic objectives and 
creating long-term value for all stakeholders. 
This allocation of course remains subject to 
shareholder approval at the 2020 Annual 
General Meeting and performance hurdles 
being met.
For Disclosed Executives, the Board also 
exercised its discretion and applied a 
50% reduction to their 2020 Variable 
Remuneration outcomes resulting in an 
average outcome of 36% of maximum 
opportunity. Total remuneration reduced 
by 15% year-on-year for 2020 Disclosed 
Executives who were in role for the full  
year 2019 and 2020.
Performance rights granted in late 2016 to 
the Chief Executive Officer and Disclosed 
Executives (excluding the Chief Risk Officer) 
did not meet their hurdles when tested in 
November 2019. Therefore, the rights were 
lapsed and executives received no value 
from these awards.
This has been a difficult year for all our 
stakeholders and as a Board we believe  
we have struck the right balance in 
rewarding our executives for good 
performance while also taking into  
account the broader environment.
On behalf of the Board, I invite you to 
consider our Remuneration Report which will 
be presented to shareholders for adoption 
at the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

There have been no changes to KMP since the end of 2020 up to 
the date of signing the Directors’ Report, other than Paul O’Sullivan 
commencing as Chairman on the retirement of David Gonski from 
that role.
The Remuneration Report for the Group outlines our remuneration 
strategy and framework and the remuneration practices that apply 
to KMP. This report has been prepared, and audited, as required by 
the Corporations Act 2001. It forms part of the Directors’ Report. 
The following remuneration changes 
were made at the start of the 2020 
financial year following a detailed 
review to better align to the external 
market: 
 • On 1 October 2019 the CEO’s fixed 
remuneration was increased and 
Long Term Variable Remuneration 
(LTVR) was reduced (see section 3.2).
 • On 1 October 2019 fixed 
remuneration was increased for  
a number of Disclosed Executives  
(see section 4.1).
 • No increase to the Chairman fee  
or NED base fee, and Committee 
fees remained unchanged except 
for the Digital Business and 
Technology Committee Chair fee 
in recognition of the significant 
increase in workload of the 
Committee Chair (see section 7.1).
 • For the 2021 financial year (i.e. year 
commencing 1 October 2020), the  
Board determined that there would be 
no increases to fixed remuneration for 
either the CEO or Disclosed Executives. 
 • The Board exercised their discretion and 
applied a 50% reduction to the Annual 
Variable Remuneration (AVR)/Variable 
Remuneration (VR) outcomes for the CEO 
and Disclosed Executives having regard  
to the impact of COVID-19 (see section 4). 
 – The CEO received an AVR award  
of 33% of maximum opportunity. 
 – Disclosed Executives’ VR outcomes 
averaged 36% of maximum 
opportunity, with individual  
outcomes ranging from 31% to  
44% of maximum opportunity.
 • The CEO will be awarded LTVR of $3.5 
million subject to shareholder approval at 
the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
 • 100% of the performance rights granted 
in late 2016 to the CEO and Disclosed 
Executives (excluding the CRO) were 
lapsed, as the performance hurdles were 
not met when tested at the end of the 
performance period in November 2019 
(see section 4.4.3).
 • As part of the Group’s Reimagining 
Reward program effective 1 October 
2019, ANZ made adjustments to the 
remuneration mix for staff (increased 
fixed/reduced variable remuneration), 
which included replacing individual 
variable remuneration for around 80%  
of employees with variable remuneration 
based on the overall performance of the 
Group (see section 4.5.1).
 • Enhancements were made to continue 
to strengthen and further embed 
ANZ’s Accountability and Consequence 
Framework (A&CF) (see section 6).

Framework (A&CF) (see section 6).
ANZ’S PURPOSE AND STRATEGY1
IS UNDERPINNED BY OUR REMUNERATION POLICY WHICH INCLUDES OUR REWARD PRINCIPLES:
Attract, motivate and 
keep great people
Reward our people for doing the right thing 
having regard to our customers and shareholders
Focus on how things are achieved 
as much as what is achieved
Are fair and simple 
to understand
WITH REMUNERATION DELIVERED TO OUR CEO AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES THROUGH:
Fixed remuneration Cash salary and superannuation contributions. The Board sets (and reviews annually) the CEO and 
Disclosed Executives’ fixed remuneration based on financial services market relativities reflecting their responsibilities, 
performance, qualifications, experience and location.
Variable remuneration (at risk) The CEO and Disclosed Executives are eligible to receive variable remuneration under the ANZ 
Incentive Plan (ANZIP), our variable remuneration plan.
CEO
Annual Variable Remuneration (AVR)
 • Rewards the achievement of Group, and individual outcomes 
DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES4
Variable Remuneration (VR)
 • Rewarded under a single VR framework enabling us to:
over a 12-month period
 • Determination: ANZ Group Performance Framework, individual 
strategic objectives, ANZ values2 and risk/compliance 
assessments, and Board discretion
 • Maximum opportunity: 150% of fixed remuneration
 • Delivery: 50% cash and 50% as ANZ shares deferred over  
four years, subject to malus3
Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR)
 • Reinforces the CEO’s focus on achieving longer term strategic 
objectives and creating long-term value for all stakeholders
 • Face value at full vesting: 140% of fixed remuneration
 • Delivery: Performance rights deferred for four years subject to 
performance hurdles and malus
 • Performance hurdles: Relative total shareholder return (TSR) 
(75%), absolute TSR (25%)
 – 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.
 • Determination: ANZ Group Performance Framework, 
Divisional Performance Frameworks, ANZ values and risk/ 
compliance assessments, and Board discretion
 • Maximum opportunity: 402% of fixed remuneration5
 • Delivery: 25% cash, 25% as ANZ shares deferred over four 
years subject to malus, and 50% as performance rights 
deferred for four years subject to performance hurdles  
and malus
 • Performance hurdles: Relative TSR (75%), absolute TSR (25%)
Board discretion is applied when determining CEO and Disclosed Executive performance and remuneration outcomes, and also 
before any scheduled release of previously deferred remuneration (see section 5.3). All deferred variable remuneration is subject 
to malus adjustment.
REINFORCED BY ALIGNING REMUNERATION AND RISK:
Assessing behaviours based on ANZ’s 
values and risk/compliance standards 
(including the Banking Executive 
Accountability Regime (BEAR))
Determining variable 
remuneration outcomes, 
with risk as a key input at  
a pool and individual level
Weighting remuneration 
toward the longer-
term with a significant 
proportion at risk
Determining 
accountability and 
applying consequences 
where appropriate
Prohibiting  
the hedging  
of unvested 
equity
WHILE SUPPORTING THE ALIGNMENT OF EXECUTIVES AND SHAREHOLDERS THROUGH:
Substantial shareholding 
requirements
Significant variable 
remuneration deferral 
in ANZ equity
Use of relative and 
absolute TSR hurdles
Consideration of cash 
profit and economic profit 
in determining the ANZIP 
variable remuneration pool
Consideration of the 
impact to shareholders 
of the reduction in share 
price and dividends 
The Human Resources (HR) Committee and the Board determining fixed remuneration and the variable remuneration outcomes for the 
CEO and each Disclosed Executive. Additionally, the CEO’s LTVR outcome is also subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. 
WHILE GOVERNED BY:
1. See the ‘About our business’ and ‘Our vision and strategy’ sections of the Annual Report.  2. ANZ’s values (Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, Excellence (ICARE)) – the 
foundation of how we work, supported by our Code of Conduct and our New Ways of Leading framework.  3. Malus relates to downward adjustment of unvested remuneration.  4. The 
maximum opportunity and delivery of VR differs for the CRO to that of other Disclosed Executives. See section 5 for further details.  5. Performance rights face value at full vesting.

ANZ 2020 Annual Report 
3.2 CHANGES TO THE CEO AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES’ REMUNERATION FRAMEWORKS MADE IN 2020
CEO
With the assistance of a detailed market benchmarking review conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers in September 2019, the Board 
re-balanced the CEO’s remuneration mix from 1 October 2019 to ensure both the CEO’s fixed remuneration and total remuneration were 
market competitive at that time. There have been no changes to the delivery of AVR or LTVR for the 2020 financial year.
In summary:
 • Fixed remuneration was increased from $2.1 million to $2.5 million (to better align to the external market while also recognising the  
skills and experience the CEO brings to the role, noting that this was the first increase since his appointment in January 2016).
 • Target AVR remains unchanged at 100% of fixed remuneration.
 • LTVR has reduced from 200% to 140% of fixed remuneration providing an appropriate balance between rewarding for short-term and 
long-term performance and ensuring total remuneration at target remains largely unchanged.
 • Total remuneration at target increased from $8.4 million to $8.5 million (~1%).

Disclosed Executives
No changes have been made to the remuneration framework for Disclosed Executives for 2020.
Variable remuneration at ANZ is truly at risk and can range from zero to maximum opportunity. The HR Committee and the Board make 
variable remuneration outcome decisions for the CEO and Disclosed Executives following lengthy and detailed discussions and assessment, 
supported by comprehensive analysis of performance from a number of sources.
The tables in sections 4.1 and 4.2 supplement, and are different to, the Statutory Remuneration table (see section 9.1) which presents the 
accounting expense for both vested and unvested awards in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
4.1 YEAR-ON-YEAR REMUNERATION AWARDED
These tables show a year-on-year comparison of remuneration awarded to the CEO and Disclosed Executives for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 
performance periods. Remuneration awarded includes any cash payments (e.g. fixed remuneration and cash variable remuneration) and the 
value of deferred shares and performance rights awarded for the year but which have not yet vested (i.e. the value was not received during 
the year). 
Although 2020 performance was assessed as ‘Met Expectations’, the Board determined it was both necessary and appropriate to use its 
discretion to ensure the market conditions arising from COVID-19 were factored into the process, resulting in a 50% reduction to the AVR/VR 
outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed Executives. In determining the 50% reduction, the Board judged what was fair and reasonable having 
regard to the impact on shareholders, and considering expectations from customers and the community.
CEO
The 2020 LTVR shown below has not yet been awarded to the CEO, approval will be sought from shareholders at the 2020 AGM. Note the 
CEO’s 2018 LTVR award was significantly reduced as a result of the matters raised in the Royal Commission relating to conduct issues and 
associated reputational damage (as previously disclosed).

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportDisclosed Executives
 • Fixed remuneration increases were applied to five Disclosed Executives on 1 October 2019 to improve alignment to desired market 
positioning, and one increase was made on permanent appointment (Antonia Watson). External benchmarking conducted by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers in September 2019 highlighted that ANZ was paying behind the market on fixed remuneration and these increases 
were designed to deliver more market competitive remuneration reflecting executive’s responsibilities, qualifications and experience.
 • There were no fixed remuneration increases for the 2021 year commencing 1 October 2020.  
 • Year-on-year remuneration awarded for both Mark Hand and Antonia Watson is not directly comparable, as they were Disclosed Executives 
for only part of the 2019 financial year. In addition, Antonia Watson’s 2020 remuneration awarded reflects her permanent appointment to 
the Group Executive and CEO, NZ role. 
 • The average 2020 VR outcome for Disclosed Executives was 36% (45% in 2019) of maximum opportunity (ranging from 31% to 44%). 
Despite good performance these outcomes were deemed by the Board to better reflect the impact of the current economic conditions. 
 • Despite the increases to fixed remuneration applied to a number of executives at the start of 2020, year-on-year total remuneration has 
reduced by 15%, and VR by 28% (at full vesting), for the 2020 Disclosed Executives who were in role for full year 2019 and 2020. 
 • Variable remuneration continues to differ both year-on-year and between different executives demonstrating the at risk nature of this 
element of remuneration and the variability in Group and individual performance year-on-year. See section 4.4 for details.

4.3 APPLICATION OF REWARD PRINCIPLES
In considering the 2020 outcomes the HR Committee and Board reflected on the application of ANZ’s Reward Principles in the current 
environment:
 • Reward our people for doing the right thing having regard to our customers and shareholders: Variable remuneration should be 
primarily based on ‘outcomes’ rather than ‘effort’ and proportionate relative to performance. It also needs to consider the experience/
expectations of all stakeholders (including shareholders, customers, employees, community and regulators). On this basis, for 2020 the 
Board determined to apply a 50% reduction to the outcomes for the CEO (AVR) and Disclosed Executives (VR).
 • Attract, motivate and keep great people: The Board acknowledged the importance of fixed remuneration being market competitive

ANZ 2020 Annual Report4.4 VARIABLE REMUNERATION – DETAIL
4.4.1 CEO performance, AVR and LTVR
Performance
With regard to AVR, the CEO is assessed 50% on the ANZ Group 
Performance Framework and 50% on achievement of individual 
strategic objectives aligned to ANZ’s strategy. Both the Group 
Performance Framework and individual strategic objectives are agreed 
by the Board at the start of the financial year and are stretching.
WEIGHTING OF FINANCIAL METRICS
AVR
Financial metrics have a 35% weighting in the Group 
Performance Framework and therefore notionally have a 
17.5% weighting in the CEO’s AVR. However, the CEO’s AVR 
is not formulaic – outcomes are moderated by the Risk and 
Reputation element of the Group Performance Framework 
and the Board’s judgement on the appropriate AVR 
considering all aspects of performance.
LTVR
100% of the LTVR hurdles are based on TSR (both relative  
and absolute).
At the end of the financial year, ANZ’s performance is assessed against 
the Group Performance Framework, and the CEO’s performance 
is assessed against his individual strategic objectives, the ANZ 
values (behaviours), delivery of the BEAR obligations and ANZ’s risk 
and compliance standards. In conducting the CEO’s performance 
assessment, the HR Committee seeks input from the Chairman, CRO 
(on risk management), CFO (on financial performance), GE T&C (on 
talent and culture matters) and Group General Manager Internal Audit 
(GGM IA) (on internal audit matters). Material risk events that have 
either occurred or come to light in the year (provided by the CRO) are 
also considered together with input from both the Audit Committee 
and the Risk Committee of the Board.
The Board has assessed the CEO’s 2020 performance as follows:
Group Performance Framework = Met Expectations  
(see section 4.5.3)
Individual strategic objectives
=  Met Expectations (see Board 
ANZ values
assessment below)
= Above Expectations
Risk/compliance assessment
= Met Expectations
The Board has exercised their discretion in determining the 
appropriate AVR outcome for 2020 and applied a 50% reduction 
which has resulted in an AVR outcome of 33% of maximum 
opportunity.
2020 CEO individual strategic objectives
 • Lead and role model the culture and accountability 
required to transform ANZ 
 • Enhance the reputation of ANZ
 • Drive the strategic direction of the organisation with a 
focus on growth
 • Show material progress on the productivity initiatives to 
improve customer and staff experience while driving cost 
towards a materially reduced run rate by close of 2022
 • Continue to build ExCo effectiveness and CEO succession
 • Focus on operational excellence, including remediation and 
system stability, to ensure ANZ has a robust and reliable 
platform to support long-term growth
Board assessment of performance on individual 
strategic objectives: Met Expectations
The CEO has had a successful year, despite this being a 
difficult period, marked by the pandemic and other problems 
affecting Australia. He has been a role model for ANZ’s 
values and culture – including risk culture, demonstrating 
outstanding leadership both internally and externally, 
particularly in providing support and caring for our customers, 
community and employees during COVID-19.
His crafting and leadership of ANZ’s response to COVID-19 
enabled the organisation to focus on what mattered most:
 • Protecting our people, our customers and our balance sheet
 • Adapting to the COVID-19 environment
 • Engaging and staying connected with all of our stakeholders
 • Preparing for the future and being ready to embrace 
opportunities
The CEO has maintained the strength of ANZ’s leadership, 
infrastructure, balance sheet, and employee engagement to 
allow ANZ to be well positioned to assist our customers and the 
community in the most challenging environment in decades. 
He has also enhanced the reputation of ANZ, by embedding 
purpose and values in our decision making and through his 
leadership in response to COVID-19.
During the last 12 months the CEO has remained focused on 
driving the strategic agenda for ANZ with progress towards 
simplifying the business, improving our IT infrastructure and 
restoring momentum in our core home loans business, while 
re-shaping the business for the future. Growth continued to be 
an area of focus in 2020, however opportunities have had to be 
balanced against our COVID-19 response.
2020 has seen the bulk of our employees working from home 
(remotely) and productivity has not faltered. The CEO has 
focused on the safety, wellbeing and engagement of our 
people whilst also continuing to invest in the business and 
cultivating a more efficient workforce at all levels. In difficult 
times, he has continued productivity improvements, with strong 
management of expenses.
ExCo is functioning very effectively under his leadership and the 
addition of the Group Executive, Data and Automation role this 
year appropriately reflects the importance of data within ANZ.
Infrastructure stability has improved and ANZ is well on track in 
building a better platform for responsible well managed growth.

AVR and LTVR
At the end of the financial year, the HR Committee makes a recommendation to the Board for their approval in respect of the CEO’s  
AVR outcome. 
The CEO’s AVR will vary up or down year-on-year, it is not guaranteed, and may range from zero to a maximum opportunity.
The 2020 AVR awarded to the CEO is 33% of maximum opportunity. 
Despite having been assessed as being above expectations on the ANZ values, and having met expectations on risk/compliance assessment, 
individual strategic objectives and the Group Performance Framework, the Board has exercised its discretion and applied a 50% reduction 
to the AVR. This takes into account the current environment in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the decline in returns and 
profitability), the impact on shareholders and having regard to customer, community and regulator expectations. Accordingly, the Board 
determined that an AVR outcome of $1.25 million (33% of maximum opportunity) was appropriate for 2020, noting that this is 17% lower 
than 2019.
The CEO’s proposed LTVR of $3.5 million (performance rights face value at full vesting) (reduced from $4.2 million in 2019) is subject to 
shareholder approval at the 2020 AGM.

1. Includes the value of previously awarded AVR deferred shares and LTVR performance rights at the date of vesting.  2. Includes the value of AVR and LTVR that has been expensed in the year. 
The CEO’s awarded remuneration based on full vesting value reduced by 7% from 2019 to 2020, despite the increase in fixed remuneration, 
reflecting the significant reduction in his 2020 variable remuneration awards. Note his 2018 (variable) remuneration reflected ANZ’s 
acknowledgement of the matters raised in the Royal Commission relating to conduct issues and associated reputational damage.
The reduction in the CEO’s received remuneration from 2019 to 2020 reflects the reduction in 2020 variable remuneration and the fact that 
the LTVR performance rights granted in December 2016 failed to vest when tested in November 2019.

ANZ 2020 Annual ReportVR
At the end of the financial year, the CEO and HR Committee 
determine VR recommendations for each Disclosed Executive, which 
are ultimately approved by the Board3. VR should and does vary year-
on-year in line with performance – it is not guaranteed and may be 
adjusted up or down ranging from zero to a maximum opportunity.
The variance in individual VR outcomes reflect the relative 
performance of the different areas/individuals, ensuring appropriate 
alignment between performance and reward. There is less individual 
differentiation in 2020 in recognition of the significant collaboration 
and team work across the Executive Committee throughout 2020 and 
particularly in managing ANZ’s response to COVID-19. The outcomes 
demonstrate the at risk nature of VR, and that outcomes vary across 
the Disclosed Executives and also from year to year. The average 2020 
VR for Disclosed Executives is 36% of maximum opportunity (ranging 
from 31% to 44%), reflecting the impact of the 50% reduction applied 
by the Board.

Performance
At the start of each year, stretching performance objectives are 
set by the HR Committee in the form of Divisional Performance 
Frameworks for each of our Disclosed Executives, in alignment with 
the Group Performance Framework approved by the Board.
Similar to the Group Performance Framework, the Divisional 
Performance Frameworks include the key elements of Financial 
and Discipline, Customer, and People and Culture, with Risk and 
Reputation acting as a modifier1. The weighting of each element 
varies to reflect the responsibilities of each individual’s role. The 
Financial and Discipline element weightings range from 20% to 45%.
At the end of the financial year, the performance of each Disclosed 
Executive2 is assessed against their contribution to the Group 
Performance Framework, their Divisional Performance Framework, 
ANZ’s values (behaviours), delivery of BEAR obligations and ANZ’s 
risk and compliance standards.
The HR Committee seeks input from the CEO, and independent 
reports from Risk, Finance, Talent and Culture, and Internal Audit, 
and also reviews material risk event data provided by the CRO, and 
seeks input from both the Audit Committee and the Risk Committee 
of the Board. 
The HR Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for 
approval the overall performance outcomes for each Disclosed 
Executive.
1. Except for the CRO who has a weighting assigned to Risk and Reputation measures.

This table shows the VR as a % of maximum opportunity for the executives who were disclosed over the last three years. Although ANZ’s 
performance has been stronger this year and the Group has been assessed by the Board as having ‘Met Expectations’ against the Group 
Performance Framework, the 50% reduction applied by the Board has resulted in a significant reduction in 2020 VR outcomes compared  
to prior years.

4.5 ANZIP VARIABLE REMUNERATION POOL AND GROUP PERFORMANCE
4.5.1 ANZIP variable remuneration
The ANZ Incentive Plan (ANZIP) is the variable remuneration plan operating across ANZ, and 2020 is the first year employees will participate 
in a single Group plan where individual variable remuneration for around 80% of employees has been replaced with a variable payment 
based on the overall performance of the Group. This change addresses many of the concerns about ‘bonus culture’ raised in the final report 
of the Royal Commission, and forms part of wide ranging reforms for 2020 as to how we reward, recognise and manage the performance  
of employees. 
With the exception of the CEO, individual variable remuneration outcomes for all other employees including Disclosed Executives are  
funded under ANZIP. The Board decides the CEO’s variable remuneration outcomes separately to help mitigate potential conflicts of interest. 
See section 8.1.3.
At the end of each financial year, the HR Committee makes a recommendation to the Board for their approval on the size of the ANZIP variable 
remuneration pool for that year. The Board exercise their judgement to determine the appropriate pool size – it is not a formulaic outcome.

4.5.2 ANZ Group Performance Framework
The ANZ Group Performance Framework is approved by the Board at the start of each year and is designed around the following three key inputs:
01
Creating a safe  
bank with sound  
risk practices
02
Achieving our  
agreed annual and 
longer term goals
03
Realising our  
strategic vision
The key objective of our Group Performance Framework is to  
enable aligned focus across the organisation on delivering the 
critical outcomes that matter most in delivering on our strategy.  
It plays a key role to:
 • message internally what matters most;
These in-year adjustments occurred through the lens of our 
purpose-led approach to managing through COVID-19 with  
our objectives being to:
 • Protect our people, customers, shareholders and ANZ,  
including strengthening our operational resilience;
 • reinforce the importance of sound management in addition  
 • Adapt to the changing environment;
to risk, customer, people and financial outcomes; and
 • inform focus of effort, prioritisation and decision-making  
across ANZ.
The emergence of the significant economic and social impacts 
of the COVID-19 pandemic required a rapid response and 
reprioritisation of resources. We tested our business strategy and 
resolved it remains relevant to create long-term sustainable value  
for our stakeholders, notwithstanding changes caused by the 
impact of COVID-19. 
However, our priorities, sequencing and emphasis needed to 
change, particularly in the short to medium-term. We also reviewed 
our 2020 Group performance objectives and determined that 
while they too remained directionally appropriate, the pandemic 
demanded a material shift in our focus for the second half of the 
year resulting in a sharpened emphasis on some key objectives and 
a shift of focus within others.
 • Engage even more proactively with our stakeholders; and
 • Prepare for the future. 
For example:
 • Balancing our immediate responses and medium-term cost 
ambitions became even more critical, particularly in the current 
low interest-rate environment; 
 • In times of a crisis, restoring and retaining community trust is 
crucial, making a focus on strong governance, leadership and 
corporate citizenship vital in supporting our customers and the 
community to navigate through the pandemic;
 • Our focus on providing great digital solutions was accelerated, 
encouraged by rapid changes in customer behaviour;
 • Immediate efforts to embed positive cultural change involved 
enabling our people to work safely and productively, while 
supporting them through clear communications to engage and 
maintain their wellbeing and performance; and
 • Our talent priorities shifted partly away from hiring and retaining 
strategic capabilities and towards supporting rapid internal 
moves to maintain operational resilience and respond to rapid 
changes in customer needs.

As managing risk appropriately is fundamental to the way ANZ operates, Risk and Reputation forms an integral part of the assessment, directly 
impacting the overall Group Performance Framework outcome (a modifier ranging from 0% to 110% of the Group Performance assessment).
When assessing Financial and Discipline (see section below), the Board considered a range of factors. This included an assessment of external 
influences outside of the control of management. In 2020, returns and profitability were significantly impacted by COVID-19 – including 
higher collective credit provision charges and the impairment of two of the Group’s Asian associate investments. Accordingly, cash profit from 
continuing operations decreased 42% and Return on Equity (ROE) declined to 6.2%. This decline in profitability and returns was also considered 
when the Board determined the size of the ANZIP variable remuneration pool for the year. For the purpose of assessing performance against the 
Group Performance Framework, the extent these factors were considered outside of the control of management, have been factored into the 
assessment of performance.
Overall, ANZ’s performance ‘Met Expectations’ when considering the objectives we set ourselves. While we were largely on track to achieve the 
targets we set before COVID-19, we also demonstrated appropriate responses to the pandemic, supporting our customers and people while 
remaining well-managed, including through the demonstration of strong financial discipline.
The below table outlines ANZ’s focus areas in 2020 (aligned to the three key inputs), and provides a summary of performance outcomes 
for each of the key performance categories to inform the overall assessment for 2020. Performance against expectations is evaluated using 
a range of objective indicators and subjective considerations including management input on work undertaken, evidence of outcomes 
realised and lessons learned, and with consideration given to the operating, regulatory and competitive environment.

COVID-19 introduced a range of both new and increased risks for ANZ, our employees and our customers. Our existing strong risk 
management framework enabled ANZ to respond well to these risks and continue to support our customers and the communities we 
serve. In anticipation of the potential future impact of COVID-19 on our customers we increased our forward looking expected credit loss 
provisions using a range of economic scenarios and we have continued to stress test our portfolio to re-assess our provisioning levels. At 
the same time, management demonstrated accountability for fixing issues in a sustainable manner. 
Risk culture measures reached all time high levels as concerted efforts to transform our culture prepared the bank well to manage 
through the pandemic in a calm, measured and proactive manner. Strong leadership and citizenship have been paramount, centred  
on regaining the trust of the community through our commitment to fair and responsible banking.

We have continued to demonstrate our commitment to improve the financial wellbeing of our customers, including ensuring our most 
vulnerable customers and those undergoing COVID-19 related stress are aware of and can access the support we have available to them. 
Despite the serious challenges faced by the sector and community this year, our actions over previous years to simplify and strengthen the 
bank provided us with the capacity to support our customers at a time of need and strengthen our long-term relationships. A proactive 
approach to reallocating resources and keeping in close contact with customers through the Australian bushfires and COVID-19 ensured 
we were available to listen and respond effectively. Across all our retail and commercial businesses in the region, we were also able to work 
quickly and comprehensively provide an appropriate series of support packages including loan deferrals and access to working capital.
While the focus has clearly been on assisting customers in need, there has also been opportunity to build new customer relationships and 
enable more digital services that have been especially valued in a restricted COVID-19 environment.

Profitability and returns have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic this year, including the impact of higher credit 
provision charges and the impairment of two of the Group’s Asian associate investments. ANZ has been able to manage well through 
this challenging period given our long-term strategy to simplify the business and strengthen the balance sheet enabled us to enter the 
COVID-19 environment in a strong financial position. As a result, we have been able to both support our customers and enable prudent 
dividends to be paid to our shareholders, while absorbing a significant increase in credit reserves and without needing to raise capital. 
Costs have again been well managed, with expenses broadly flat despite record levels of investment to grow and simplify the business, 
and increased regulatory and compliance spend. Divestments during the year reduced the complexity of the Group. Ongoing work to 
identify and rectify customers in need of remediation led to further remediation charges, which impacted financial performance.

Group Performance assessment: Met Expectations 
The impact to profitability and returns in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was considered 
when the Board determined the ANZIP outcome (see section 4.5.1). For the purpose of assessing financial 
performance against the Group Performance Framework, the extent these factors were considered outside  
of the control of management, have been considered when forming the overall assessment of performance. 
On balance, the Board considered an overall assessment of ‘Met Expectations’ fair and appropriate.

ANZ 2020 Annual Report4.5.4 ANZ performance outcomes
ANZ’s financial performance 2016 – 2020
As discussed in section 4.5.1, when determining variable remuneration outcomes for Disclosed Executives and employees more broadly 
cash profit and economic profit are considered. The Group uses cash profit1 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. 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. 
Statutory profit has decreased 40% compared to the prior financial year, while cash profit from continuing operations has decreased 42%. 
The decline was driven primarily by:
 • Credit impairment charges of $2.7 billion pre-tax (up from $795 million in the prior financial year), which included increased credit reserves 
for the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; and
 • An $815 million impairment in the valuation of two of the Group’s Asian associate investments, largely due to the impact COVID-19 has 
had in those markets.
Excluding the movement in these two items, cash profit fell 5% from the prior financial year.
The table below provides ANZ’s financial performance, including cash profit, over the last five years.

5. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STRUCTURE AND DELIVERY
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 and variable remuneration (at risk), the way it is delivered 
(cash versus deferred remuneration) and appropriate time frames (the short, medium and long-term).
The Board sets (and reviews annually) the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ fixed remuneration based on financial services market relativities 
and reflecting their responsibilities, performance, qualifications, experience and location.
The way variable remuneration operates differs somewhat between the CEO and Disclosed Executives. Namely:
 • The CEO’s variable remuneration is comprised of AVR and LTVR (subject to shareholder approval), which provides consistency with external 
market practice, and LTVR reinforces his focus on achieving longer term strategic objectives and long-term stakeholder value creation.
 • Disclosed Executives are subject to one combined VR plan which 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.
Variable remuneration seeks to differentiate for performance and is designed to focus our CEO and Disclosed Executives on stretching 
performance objectives supporting our business strategy, and encourage the delivery of long-term stakeholder value.
By deferring a significant portion of variable remuneration (74% of maximum opportunity for the CEO, 75% for Disclosed Executives and  
67% for the CRO), we seek to ensure alignment with shareholder interests to deliver on ANZ’s strategic objectives and ensure a focus 
on long-term value creation. Deferred variable remuneration has significant retention elements, and most importantly, can be adjusted 
downwards, including to zero, allowing the Board to hold executives accountable, individually or collectively, for the longer term impacts  
of their decisions and actions.
Board discretion is applied when determining all CEO and Disclosed Executive variable remuneration outcomes, and also before any 
scheduled release of previously deferred remuneration (i.e. consider malus or further deferral).
5.1 REMUNERATION MIX

CRO
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 remuneration arrangements differ to other Disclosed Executives.
The remuneration mix is 27% fixed remuneration and 73% VR maximum opportunity. The VR target opportunity is 180% of fixed 
remuneration and VR maximum opportunity is 270% of fixed remuneration. VR is delivered as 33% cash, 33% deferred shares and 34% 
deferred share rights (instead of performance rights).
5.2 VARIABLE REMUNERATION DELIVERY
Variable remuneration for the CEO and the Disclosed Executives (excluding the CRO) is delivered partly in cash, shares deferred over four 
years, and performance rights deferred for four years. The performance rights are also subject to performance hurdles which determine 
whether they vest in four years’ time.
60% of variable remuneration (AVR plus LTVR) for the CEO, 53% of VR for Disclosed Executives (other than the CRO), and 41% of VR for 
the CRO will be deferred for at least four years (from the date the Board approved the variable remuneration in October (and the date 
shareholders approve the CEO’s LTVR)), noting that this complies with the BEAR minimum deferral requirement of 60% for the CEO and  
40% for Disclosed Executives. 
Before any scheduled release of deferred shares/deferred share rights/performance rights, the Board considers whether any malus/
downward adjustment of previously deferred remuneration (or further deferral of vesting) should be made for the CEO and Disclosed 
Executives. See section 5.3.

Deferred shares are ordinary shares, deferred over one to four years. By deferring part of an executives’ remuneration over time (and it 
remaining subject to malus), 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 performance for the 1 October to 30 September financial year in late November/early 
December each year.
We calculate the number of deferred shares to be granted based on the 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.

5.2.3a Performance rights – CEO (LTVR) and Disclosed Executives (VR) excluding the CRO
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.
The performance rights have a four-year performance period (and remain subject to malus up to the vesting date). For the 2020 grant, the 
performance period is from 22 November 2020 to 21 November 2024. A four-year performance period provides sufficient time for longer 
term performance to be reflected.
More detail relating to the 2020 performance rights is provided below.

Performance  
rights hurdles
The performance rights have TSR performance hurdles reflecting 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 2020 grants of performance rights:
 • 75% will be measured against a relative TSR hurdle, tranche 1.
 • 25% will be measured against an absolute TSR hurdle, tranche 2.

Relative TSR 
hurdle for the 
November/
December  
2020 grant
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 comparator 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 (SFS) 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 four-year performance period to determine whether 
each tranche of performance rights become exercisable. We measure each tranche independently from the other – for 
example one tranche may vest fully or partially but the other tranche may not vest.
The relative TSR hurdle is an external hurdle that measures our TSR against that of the SFS comparator group over four 
years. The SFS comparator group (unchanged from prior years) 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.
If our TSR when compared to the TSR of the comparator group
then the percentage of performance rights that vest
is less than the 50th percentile
reaches at least the 50th percentile, but is less than  
the 75th percentile
is nil
is 50% plus 2% for every one percentile increase 
above the 50th percentile
reaches or exceeds the 75th percentile
is 100%
Absolute TSR 
hurdle for the 
November/
December  
2020 grant
The absolute CAGR TSR hurdle 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 Board reviews and approves the absolute TSR targets each year for that year’s award. When reviewing the targets, 
the Board references ANZ’s assessed Cost of Capital. The Cost of Capital is determined using methodologies including 
the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). There has been no change to the absolute CAGR TSR targets for 2020.

Calculating TSR 
performance
When calculating performance against TSR, we:
 • reduce the impact of share price volatility – by using an averaging calculation over a 90-trading 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 four-year performance period – the 
rights lapse if the performance hurdle is not met – there is no retesting.
Calculating 
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 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 late November/early December for Disclosed Executives and December for the  
CEO (subject to shareholder approval).
Expensing 
performance 
rights
ANZ engages PricewaterhouseCoopers 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.
5.2.3b Deferred share rights – CRO (VR)
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 four 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 (five 
trading day VWAP).
5.3 MALUS (DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT OF PREVIOUSLY DEFERRED REMUNERATION) – BOARD DISCRETION
All deferred remuneration we award to an employee is subject to ANZ’s on-going and absolute discretion to adjust this downward (malus) 
(including to zero) at any time.
ANZ may exercise this discretion, for example, where:
 • there is a need to protect the financial soundness of ANZ or to meet regulatory requirements or there has been a material failure of risk 
management or controls within ANZ;
 • the employee has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, failed to act with due care, skill and diligence, or failed to comply with ANZ policies 
(including the Code of Conduct), processes or directions;
 • the employee is responsible or accountable, directly or indirectly, by virtue of their role or seniority for an occurrence/event which has had 
an adverse impact on ANZ;
 • there has been misconduct and the employee was involved directly or indirectly, failed to take adequate steps, could be considered 
responsible due to their seniority, or the decision to award or grant the deferred remuneration was made on the basis of misinformation.
Further, where the CEO and/or Disclosed Executives of ANZ have failed to comply with their accountability obligations under the BEAR, their 
deferred remuneration will be reduced by an amount that is proportionate to the failure, as required by the BEAR.
An employee’s deferred remuneration is also subject to ANZ’s on-going and absolute discretion to further defer the vesting. Where ANZ 
exercises this discretion, the vesting date is postponed and will not vest unless and until ANZ determines it should vest.
Before any scheduled vesting of deferred remuneration, the Board (for the CEO, Disclosed Executives and other specified roles) and/or the 
Consequence Review Group (CRG) (for other employees) considers whether malus/downward adjustment or further deferral should be 
applied. See section 6 for details.

6. ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONSEQUENCE FRAMEWORK
In 2020, we continued to strengthen and embed the Accountability 
and Consequence Framework (A&CF). 
The HR Committee and Board determine accountability and 
consequences for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, including the 
application of malus to previously deferred remuneration.
The CRO presented a report to the HR Committee of the Board 
on the most material risk events for 2020, and input was also 
sought from the Audit and Risk Committees of the Board. All of this 
information was taken into consideration by the HR Committee and 
the Board when considering the performance of the Group, and 
determining the performance and remuneration outcomes for our 
Group Executives including the CEO and the 2020 ANZIP variable 
remuneration pool for all employees.
Adjustments were made to 2020 individual variable remuneration 
outcomes to reflect accountability for relevant matters.
No malus was applied to the previously deferred remuneration  
of the CEO and Disclosed Executives during 2020.
The Consequence Review Group (CRG) supports the Board in 
monitoring the implementation and ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s 
A&CF, being cognisant of its impact on the culture of ANZ. The 
CRG is chaired by the CEO and members include the CRO, CFO and 
GE T&C. The CRG reviews material events, accountability and the 
application of suitable consequences where appropriate. 
When determining consequences consideration will be given to 
the level of accountability, and the severity of the issue, including 
customer impacts. Consequences may include, for example, one 
or more of the following: counselling, formal warnings, impacts to 
in year performance and remuneration outcomes or application 
of malus to previously deferred remuneration and ultimately 
termination of employment for the most serious issues. 
Our ongoing focus on accountability, consequences and driving  
a strong risk culture supports our customer commitment that when 
things go wrong, we fix them quickly and hold executives, current 
(and former where we can), to account where appropriate. We are 
also focused on ensuring that we learn from the cause of the event, 
and mitigate the risk of future recurrences and continuously seek  
to strengthen our risk culture.
We review the effectiveness of the A&CF every year and implement 
enhancements to further strengthen the framework based on 
regulatory and internal stakeholder input. 
We also examined the impact of the A&CF on our ‘speak up’ culture. 
Across all measures reviewed, including our annual My Voice 
survey, and percentage of self-disclosed audit issues and internal 
audit cultural review data, we found that our speak-up culture had 
strengthened in 2020 compared to 2019. This gives 
us confidence that the implementation of the A&CF 
is consistent with our speak-up culture. We continue 
to raise employee awareness of, and promote the various  
ways that employees can speak up including through  
initiatives such as the annual Whistleblower Awareness Week.
In 2020 across the Group, there were 1,448 Code of Conduct cases 
managed resulting in 199 employees being terminated for breaches 
of our Code of Conduct, or who otherwise left the bank after an 
investigation had been initiated. A further 370 employees received 
a formal disciplinary outcome, with managers required to apply 
impacts to their performance and remuneration outcomes as part 
of the annual review process.
At the senior leadership level, 34 current or former senior 
leaders (senior executives, executives and senior managers) had 
consequences applied in 2020 for Code of Conduct breaches or 
findings of accountability for a relevant event, or otherwise left the 
bank after an investigation had been initiated. The 34 employees 
represent 1.4% of our 2,443 senior leaders. The consequences 
applied included warnings, impacts to performance and/or 
remuneration outcomes and cessation of employment.

1. Individuals are included under all categories that are relevant meaning one individual may 
be reflected in multiple categories.  2. As part of the annual Performance and Remuneration 
Review process, performance and remuneration consequences are applied in line with our 
A&CF.  3. Performance rating impacts are as at end of October 2020. Remuneration impacts 
will also be applied.
There are also performance and remuneration consequences for 
employees who are non-compliant with the mandatory learning 
requirements by over 30 days, with these employees being deemed 
ineligible to participate in the year-end remuneration review 
process (unless genuinely exceptional circumstances exist). In 
2020, less than 0.4% of employees had a mandatory learning non-
compliance flag applied to their profiles as a result of becoming 
overdue for 30 days on their mandatory learning requirements. The 
remaining 99.6% of our employees completed their mandatory 
learning requirements within the required period.

ANZ 2020 Annual Report7. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (NED) REMUNERATION
7.1 REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
The HR Committee reviewed NED fees for 2020 and determined not to increase Chairman, NED or Committee fees except for the Digital 
Business and Technology Committee Chair fee (which increased from $35,000 to $45,000) in recognition of the significant increase in 
workload of the Committee Chair.
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, ASX Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations, 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 and complexity, 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 AGM. The annual total of NEDs’ fees, 
including superannuation contributions, is within this agreed limit.

NED shareholding guidelines
We expect our NEDs to hold ANZ shares. NEDs are required:
 • to accumulate shares – over a five-year period from their appointment – to the value of 100% (200% for the Chairman) of the NED 
member fee; and
 • to maintain this shareholding while they are a Director of ANZ.
Based on the ANZ share price as at 30 September 2020, all NEDs who have served five years met the holding requirement. NEDs appointed 
within the last five years have either met or are building towards their shareholding requirement.

1. Year-on-year differences in fees relate to the 20% reduction to the Chairman fee and the NED member fees in 2019 (as a consequence of a decision taken by the Directors that their fees 
should reflect shared accountability for the failures highlighted by the Royal Commission), changes in Committee memberships and changes to the superannuation Maximum Contribution 
Base. From 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020, P Dwyer elected to receive all payments in fees and therefore did not receive superannuation contributions during this period.  2. Long-term 
benefits and share-based payments do not apply for the NEDs.  3. In addition to the fees shown above that J Key received as a NED for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 
(ANZBGL), as Chairman for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited J Key also received a total of NZD 391,000 in 2020 and NZD 382,950 in 2019.  4. P O’Sullivan commenced as a NED on 4 November 
2019, so 2020 remuneration reflects a partial service year.

8. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
8.1 THE HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) COMMITTEE
8.1.1 Role of the HR Committee
To further reflect the importance of the link between 
remuneration and risk:
The HR Committee supports the Board on remuneration and other 
HR matters. It reviews the remuneration policies and practices 
of the Group, and monitors market practice and regulatory and 
compliance requirements in Australia and overseas.
During the year the HR Committee met on six occasions1 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 ANZBGL Remuneration Policy, and fees for the NEDs;
 • reward structure changes (including the Reimagining Reward 
initiative);
 • ANZ’s response to the industry-wide Retail Remuneration Review 
by Stephen Sedgwick AO;
 • updates on APRA’s draft Prudential Standard CPS 511 
Remuneration, the BEAR Thematic Review, Treasury’s Financial 
Accountability Regime (FAR), and ASIC’s review of governance 
practices in the exercise of board discretion on executive  
variable pay;
 • the ANZ Group Performance Framework (annual objectives 
setting and assessment) and annual variable remuneration spend;
 • performance and reward outcomes for key senior executives, 
including the consideration of material risk events that have 
either occurred or came to light in the year, and malus/downward 
adjustment;
 • key senior executive appointments and terminations;
 • the effectiveness of the ANZBGL Remuneration Policy;
 • succession plans for key senior executives;
 • culture and governance including updates on the strengthened 
Accountability and Consequence Framework (A&CF); and
 • diversity, 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 > Our 
company > Strong governance framework > ANZ Human Resources 
Committee Charter.
1. A subset of the HR Committee also met on a number of occasions during the year to 
discuss regulatory developments and 2020 outcomes.
8.1.2 Link between remuneration and risk
The HR Committee has a strong focus on the relationship between 
business performance, risk management and remuneration, 
aligned with our business strategy. The chairs of the Risk and Audit 
Committees are members of the HR Committee and the full Board  
is in attendance for specific HR Committee meetings.
 • the Board had three NEDs (in addition to the 
Chairman) in 2020 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 (the CRO and CFO attend  
HR Committee meetings for specific agenda items); 
 • the CRO provides an independent report to the HR Committee on 
material risk events to help inform considerations of performance 
and remuneration, and accountability and consequences at the 
Group, Divisional and individual level; and
 • the chairs of the Audit and Risk Committees are asked to provide 
input to the HR Committee to ensure appropriate consideration  
of all relevant risk and internal audit issues.
8.1.3 Conflict of interest
To help mitigate potential conflicts of interest:
 • management are not in attendance when their own performance 
or remuneration is being discussed by the HR Committee or Board;
 • the CEO’s AVR is funded and determined separately from the 
ANZIP pool;
 • the CRO’s remuneration arrangements differ to other Disclosed 
Executives to preserve the independence of the role; and
 • the HR Committee seeks input from a number of sources to 
inform their consideration of performance and remuneration 
outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed Executives including:
 – independent reports from Risk, Finance, Talent and Culture  
and Internal Audit;
 – material risk event data provided by the CRO;
 – input from both the Audit Committee and the Risk  
Committee of the Board. 
8.1.4 External advisors provided information but not 
recommendations
The HR Committee can engage independent external advisors  
as needed.
Throughout the year, the HR Committee and management received 
information from the following external providers: Aon, Ashurst, EY, 
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, purpose  
and values, risk appetite and the ANZBGL Remuneration Policy  
and Principles.

remuneration of KMP.
8.2 INTERNAL GOVERNANCE
8.2.1 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.
8.2.2 CEO and Disclosed Executives’ 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. 
CEO 
While the CEO is still within his five-year accumulation period his shareholdings are above the holding guideline and we note that he has not 
sold any ANZ shares since his commencement as CEO.
Disclosed Executives
All but one Disclosed Executive are still within their five-year accumulation period and are building their holdings. One Disclosed Executive has 
passed the five-year period and their shareholding (based on 30 September 2020 share price) was below the holding guideline. The impact of 
COVID-19 on ANZ’s share price has resulted in the overall value of the executive’s holding reducing and the Board has exercised its discretion and 
is not requiring the executive to purchase additional shares at this time.
8.2.3 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;
Notice on termination  
by ANZ1
How unvested equity  
is treated on leaving 
ANZ
 • 6 months by Disclosed Executives.
 • 12 months by ANZ for CEO and Disclosed Executives.
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 and their statutory entitlements.
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 rights2 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. 
Unvested equity remains subject to malus 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.
1. For K Corbally and M Hand, their contracts state that in particular circumstances they may be eligible for a retrenchment benefit in accordance with the relevant ANZ policy, as varied from 
time to time. For A Watson, notice on retrenchment is 6 weeks and compensation on retrenchment is calculated on a scale up to a maximum of 79 weeks after 25 years’ service.  2. Or deferred 
share rights granted to the CRO instead of performance rights.

9.1 2020 STATUTORY REMUNERATION – CEO AND DISCLOSED EXECUTIVES
The following table outlines the statutory remuneration disclosed in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. While it shows the 
fixed remuneration awarded (cash and superannuation contributions) and also the cash component of the 2020 variable remuneration 
award, it does not show the actual variable remuneration awarded or received in 2020 (see sections 4.1 and 4.2), but instead shows  
the amortised accounting value for this financial year of deferred remuneration (including prior year awards).

1. Cash salary includes any adjustments required to reflect the use of ANZ’s Lifestyle Leave Policy for the period in the KMP role.  2. Non monetary benefits generally consist of company-
funded benefits (and the associated Fringe Benefits Tax) such as car parking, taxation services and costs met by the Company in relation to in-country benefits.  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 21 October 2020. 100% of the cash component of the AVR/VR awarded for the 2019 and 2020 years vested to the executive in the applicable 
financial year.  4. For all Australian based executives, the 2019 and 2020 superannuation contributions reflect the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution based on the Maximum Contribution 
Base. A Watson participates in KiwiSaver where ANZ provides an employer superannuation contribution matching member contributions up to 4% of total gross pay (less employer 
superannuation contribution tax).  5. Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ before November 1992, M Hand is 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).   6. Long service leave accrued during the year increased year-on-year for S Elliott, M Carnegie, A George, K Corbally, M Hand, M Jablko and A Watson as a result of their fixed 
remuneration increases.  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 becomes exercisable. No terms 
of share-based payments have been altered or modified during the financial year.

1. Cash salary includes any adjustments required to reflect the use of ANZ’s Lifestyle Leave Policy for the period in the KMP role.  2. Non monetary benefits generally consist of company-
funded benefits (and the associated Fringe Benefits Tax) such as car parking, taxation services and costs met by the Company in relation to in-country benefits.  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 21 October 2020. 100% of the cash component of the AVR/VR awarded for the 2019 and 2020 years vested to the executive in the applicable 
financial year.  4. For all Australian based executives, the 2019 and 2020 superannuation contributions reflect the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution based on the Maximum Contribution 
Base. A Watson participates in KiwiSaver where ANZ provides an employer superannuation contribution matching member contributions up to 4% of total gross pay (less employer 
superannuation contribution tax).  5. Accrual relates to Retirement Allowance. As a result of being employed with ANZ before November 1992, M Hand is 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).   6. Long service leave accrued during the year increased year-on-year for S Elliott, M Carnegie, A George, K Corbally, M Hand, M Jablko and A Watson as a result of their fixed 
remuneration increases.  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 becomes exercisable. No terms 
of share-based payments have been altered or modified during the financial year. 
8. 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.  9. No 2020 Disclosed Executive received a termination benefit. Whilst F Ohlsson (former Group Executive, Australia and 2019 Disclosed 
Executive) concluded in a Disclosed Executive role on 28 December 2018, he ceased employment 15 November 2019 while on career break. Termination benefits paid on cessation (relating 
to accrued annual and long service leave, and pay in lieu of notice in accordance with his contract), annual leave and long service leave taken at the commencement of his career break, and 
non monetary benefits relating to cessation totalled $1,303,863.  10. In relation to K Corbally’s role before his appointment to the ExCo, in August 2016 the Board approved an equity retention 
award of $600,000 vesting in August 2019. Other equity allocations relate to this award.  11. M Hand’s 2019 remuneration reflects a partial service year as he commenced in a Disclosed 
Executive role on 29 December 2018.  12. Other cash and other equity allocations for M Jablko relate to previously disclosed compensation for bonus opportunity foregone and deferred 
remuneration forfeited.  13. A Watson’s 2019 remuneration reflects a partial service year as she commenced in a Disclosed Executive role on 17 June 2019 as Acting Group Executive and CEO, 
NZ. A Watson’s fixed remuneration is paid in NZD and converted to AUD. In 2018, 2019 and 2020 A Watson was eligible to receive shares under the Employee Share Offer. That offer provided  
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.

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.
 • 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

the Audit Committee, or approved by the Chair of the Audit 
Committee (or delegate) and notified to the Audit Committee;

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.
Further details about the Policy can be found in the Corporate 
Governance Statement.
The external auditor has confirmed to the Audit Committee that it has:
 • implemented procedures to ensure it complies with 
independence rules in applicable jurisdictions; and
 • complied with applicable policies and regulations in those 
jurisdictions regarding the provision of non-audit services,

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 certain exceptions. 
In accordance with the employee indemnity policy, the Company has 
during or since the year ended 30 September 2020 paid legal expenses 
totalling $1,233,965.13 incurred by Mr Richard Moscati in relation to legal

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.

1  3.4 million shares were issued under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) for the 2020 interim dividend (nil shares for the 2019 final Dividend; nil shares for the 2019 interim dividend as the shares were 
purchased on-market and provided directly to shareholders participating in the DRP). On-market share purchases for the DRP in 2020 were $185 million (2019: $432 million). 
2  The Company completed a $3.0 billion on-market share buy-back of ANZ ordinary shares purchasing $1,120 million worth of shares in 2019 resulting in 42.0 million shares being cancelled. 
3  The successor funds transfer performed in preparation for the sale of the Group’s wealth business to Zurich and IOOF completed on 13 April 2019. As a result, the Group no longer eliminates the ANZ shares 
previously held in Wealth Australia discontinued operations (treasury shares).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
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 2020. 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. The Group provides banking 
and financial services to individuals and business customers and operates in and across 33 markets. 
On 4 November 2020, 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 amount is significant in size (quantitative factor); 
 the information 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 made to the underlying hedged exposure; 
 financial instruments held for trading; 
 financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss; 
 financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; and 
 assets and liabilities classified as held for sale (except those at their carrying value as per Note 29).

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 aligned dealer groups business sold to IOOF Holdings Limited (IOOF) completed on 1 October 2018; the life insurance business sold to Zurich 
Financial Services Australia Limited completed on 31 May 2019; and the Wealth Australia pensions and investments business sold to IOOF was 
completed on 31 January 2020. As a result of these sale transactions, the associated Group reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as 
discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective.

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. For non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income translation 
differences are included in Other comprehensive income. 
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 rate at the date of the transaction 
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 and trustee services. 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 each relevant note to the financial statements. 
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic  
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the global economy have impacted our customers, operations and Group performance. The 
outbreak necessitated governments to respond at unprecedented levels to protect the health of the population, local economies and 
livelihoods. It has affected different regions at different times and at varying degrees and there remains a risk of subsequent waves of 
infection.  Thus the pandemic has significantly increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these financial statements 
including: 
•
•
•
the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions of governments, businesses and consumers to 
contain the spread of the virus;
the extent and duration of the expected economic downturn, and subsequent recovery. This includes the impacts on capital 
markets and liquidity, credit quality, increasing unemployment, declines in consumer spending, reductions in production, and 
other restructuring activities; and
the effectiveness of government and central bank measures to support businesses and consumers through this disruption and 
economic downturn. 
The Group has made various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which 
reflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 September 2020 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the 
circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The underlying assumptions are 
also subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be 
different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may 
significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.  
The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected 
credit losses, fair value measurement, and the assessment of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets.  
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these estimates is discussed further in the relevant note of these financial 
statements. Readers should carefully consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described above.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PERIOD 
AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) 
AASB 16 became effective for the Group from 1 October 2019 and replaced the previous standard AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117). AASB 16 primarily 
impacts the Group’s property and technology leases which were previously classified as operating leases. Under AASB 117, operating leases were not 
recognised on balance sheet and rent payments were expensed over the lease term. 
Under AASB 16, the Group recognises all leases (except for leases of low value assets and short term leases) on balance sheet under a single 
accounting model. Accordingly, the Group recognises its right to use an underlying leased asset over the lease term as a right-of-use (ROU) asset, and 
its obligation to make lease payments as a lease liability. In the income statement, the Group recognises depreciation expense on the ROU asset and 
interest expense on the lease liability. As a result, lease expenses will be higher in the early periods of a lease and lower in the later periods of the lease 
compared to the previous standard where expenses were constant over the lease term. Cumulative expenses over the life of a lease will not change. 
As permitted by the standard, the Group does not recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value items and short term leases (less 
than 12 months). Instead, the lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an operating expense in the income statement on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 
The Group has applied the modified retrospective transition approach whereby initial lease liabilities are recognised based on the present value of 
remaining lease payments as of the transition date. The initial ROU asset recognised for certain large commercial and retail leases was measured as if 
AASB 16 had always been applied to the leases. For all other leases, the initial ROU asset was measured as equal to the initial lease liability. 
The implementation of AASB 16 requires management to make certain key judgements including the determination of lease terms, discount rates 
and identifying arrangements that contain a lease. Extension options are included in the lease term if the Group is reasonably certain the option will 
be exercised. This assessment includes consideration of facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the 
option. 
Based on the modified retrospective transition approach, the Group recognised lease liabilities of $1.7 billion presented within Payables and other 
liabilities and ROU assets of $1.6 billion presented within Premises and equipment. This resulted in a reduction to opening retained earnings of $88 
million and an increase in deferred tax assets of $37 million as of 1 October 2019. Comparatives have not been restated.

In addition, the Group elected to apply the following practical expedients as permitted under the modified retrospective transition approach: 
a)
Impairment of ROU assets at the transition date was assessed by relying on onerous lease provisions previously recognised as of 30 September 
2019 under AASB 117;
Initial direct costs associated with entering leases prior to the transition date were excluded from the carrying value of ROU assets recognised at 
transition;
b)
c) No ROU assets or lease liabilities were recognised for certain leases with less than 12 months remaining as of the transition date; these leases were 
treated as short-term leases with all lease payments recognised in rent expense as incurred; and 
d) Hindsight was used to determine the lease term of contracts that contained options to extend the lease.

Background 
Interbank offered rates (IBORs), such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), play a critical role in global financial markets, serving as reference 
rates for derivatives, loans and securities, and as parameters in the valuation of financial instruments.  
Uncertainty surrounding the integrity of IBOR rates has in recent years, led regulators, central banks and market participants to work towards a 
transition to alternative risk-free benchmark reference rates (RFRs) and market-led working groups in respective jurisdictions have recommended 
alternative risk-free reference rates, which are gradually being adopted. Progress in the transition to these new benchmarks has resulted in significant 
uncertainty in the future of IBOR benchmarks beyond 1 January 2022. 
The following table reconciles the operating lease commitments disclosed under AASB 117 as at 30 September 2019 to the opening lease liabilities 
The following table reconciles the operating lease commitments disclosed under AASB 117 as at 30 September 2019 to the opening lease liabilities 
Accounting amendments 
In response to the uncertainty about the long-term viability of these benchmark rates, and LIBOR in particular, the International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB) has established a project to consider the financial reporting implications of the reform. The transition from IBORs is expected to have an 
impact on various elements of financial instrument accounting, including hedge accounting, as well as fair value methodologies and disclosures.  
In October 2019, the AASB issued AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, which amends certain 
existing hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the interest rate benchmark reform. The 
Group elected to early adopt the amendments from 1 October 2019 which have not had a significant impact on the Group. These amendments 
address the accounting effects of uncertainty in the period leading up to the reform arising from the Group’s ability to satisfy the existing prospective 
hedge effectiveness requirements of AASB 139. This uncertainty arises as it is not known when the hedged items (such as debt issuances) and 
associated hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps) will be changed to reference the RFRs, or if both the hedging item and the associated 
hedging instrument will move to the new rates at the same time. The Group has applied this amendment to all hedge accounted relationships (cash 
flow or fair value hedges) where the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing or amount of IBOR based cash flows of the hedged item or 
hedging instrument.  
In September 2020, the AASB issued AASB 2020-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 which is 
mandatory for the Group for the 2022 financial year. This standard addresses issues that may affect the Group at the point of transition from an 
existing IBOR rate to a RFR, including the effects of changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships. The standard includes amendments in 
respect of: 
Modification of a financial asset or a financial liability measured at amortised cost 
IBOR reform is expected to result in a change to the basis for determining contractual cash flows of impacted assets and liabilities of the Group. 
The amendments provide a practical expedient to account for a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows as a result of 
IBOR reform by updating the effective interest rate. As a result, no immediate gain or loss is recognised. This applies only when the change is 
necessary as a direct consequence of the reform, and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the 
previous basis. 
Additional relief for hedging relationships
The Standard also amends a number of existing hedge accounting requirements that will assist the Group to maintain its existing hedge 
accounted relationships post IBOR transition. The Group will continue to record any ongoing hedge ineffectiveness, including that generated by 
changes as a result of interest rate reform, within the Income Statement.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on its financial statements. 
Impact of IBOR reform  
The Group has exposure to IBOR through its issuance of debt, the structural interest rate risk position, holdings of investment securities, products 
denominated in foreign currencies and associated hedging activities in our treasury and markets businesses within the TSO and Group Centre and 
Institutional divisions respectively.  
The Group has established an enterprise-wide Benchmark Transition Program to manage the transition. The program includes the assessment and 
actions necessary to accommodate the transition to RFRs as they apply to internal processes and systems including pricing, risk management, 
documentation and hedge arrangements. The program includes management of the impact on customers. 
Impact of IBOR reform on the Group’s hedging relationships 
Certain IBOR rates are subject to replacement by RFRs. The Group has hedge accounted relationships referencing IBORs, with the most significant 
interest rate benchmarks to which the Group's hedging relationships are exposed to are USD LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Bank Bill 
Swap Rate (BBSW) and Bank Bill Market (BKBM). 
Of these benchmarks the Group expects BBSW, BKBM and EURIBOR to exist as benchmark rates for the foreseeable future and therefore does not 
believe its BBSW, BKBM or EURIBOR benchmark fair value or cash flow hedges will be directly impacted by IBOR reform.

from the transition. 
AASB INTERPRETATION 23 UNCERTAINTY OVER INCOME TAX TREATMENTS (AASB Interpretation 23)
AASB Interpretation 23 became effective for the Group from 1 October 2019. The interpretation clarifies application of recognition and measurement 
requirements in AASB 112 Income Taxes where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. As the Group’s existing policy aligned with the 
requirements of AASB Interpretation 23, the interpretation had no material impact on the Group. 
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 2020, and have not been applied by the Group in preparing these financial statements. Further details of these are 
set out below. 
GENERAL HEDGE ACCOUNTING 
AASB 9 introduces new hedge accounting requirements which more closely align accounting with risk management activities undertaken when 
hedging both 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 
continues to apply the hedge accounting requirements of AASB 139. 
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 2023. 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. 
AASB 17 is not expected to have material impact on the Group. 
REVISED CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 
In June 2019 the AASB issued a revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The new Framework includes updated definitions and criteria 
for the recognition and derecognition of assets and liabilities. Additionally, it introduces new concepts on measurement, including factors to consider 
when selecting a measurement basis. The revised Conceptual Framework will apply to the Group from 1 October 2020 and is not expected to have a 
material impact on the Group.

 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, assets measured at fair 
value through other comprehensive income or designated at fair value through profit or loss in net interest income. We use the effective 
interest rate method to calculate the amortised cost of assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets 
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. 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’) 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 $406 million (2019: $363 million) is presented as interest expense in 
the Income Statement. 
OTHER OPERATING INCOME 
Fee and Commission Revenue 
We recognise fee and commission revenue arising from contracts with customers (a) over time when the performance obligation is 
satisfied across more than one reporting period or (b) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied immediately or is 
satisfied within one reporting period.  
  lending fees exclude fees treated as part of the effective yield calculation of interest income. Lending fees include certain guarantee 
and commitment fees where the loan or guarantee is not likely to be drawn upon, and other fees charged for providing customers a 
distinct good or service that are recognised separately from the underlying lending product (including annual package fees that 
provide benefits on other ANZ products). 
  non-lending fees includes fees associated with deposit and credit card accounts, interchange fees and fees charged for specific 
customer transactions such as international money transfers. Where the Group provides multiple goods or services to a customer 
under the same contract, the Group allocates the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations based on the 
relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Revenue is recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied. 
  commissions represent fees from third parties where ANZ acts as an agent by arranging a third party (e.g. an insurance provider) to 
provide goods and services to a customer. In such cases, ANZ is not primarily responsible for providing the underlying good or service 
to the customer. If the Group collects funds on behalf of a third party when acting as an agent, the Group only recognises the net 
commission it retains as revenue. When the commission is variable based on factors outside the control of the Group (e.g. a trail 
commission), revenue is only recognised if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the variable amount will not be required in 
future periods. 
  funds management income represents fees earned from customers for providing financial advice and fees for asset management 
services and advice provided to investment funds. Revenue is recognised either at the point the financial advice is provided or over 
the period in which the asset management services are delivered. Performance fees associated with funds management activities are 
only recognised when it becomes highly probable the performance hurdle will be achieved. 
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;

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 from the asset transfer to the buyer. 
NET INCOME FROM INSURANCE BUSINESS 
We recognise: 
 premiums received (net of reinsurance premiums paid) based on an assessment of the likely pattern in which risk will emerge over the 
term of the policies written. This assessment is undertaken periodically and updated in accordance with the latest pattern of risk 
emergence; and 
 claims incurred net of reinsurance, on an accruals basis once the liability to the policy owner has been established under the terms of 
the contract and through actuarial assumptions of future claims. 
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.

 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.

4. INCOME TAX (continued) 
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 $10 million (2019: $10 million). 
Unrecognised deferred tax liabilities related to additional potential foreign tax costs (assuming all retained earnings in offshore branches and 
subsidiaries are repatriated) total $329 million (2019: $429 million).

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES 
Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of uncertain tax positions. The Group estimates its tax liabilities 
based on its understanding of the relevant law in each of the countries in which it operates and seeks independent advice where 
appropriate.

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. 
In July 2020, APRA provided an update to their guidance on capital management. In the updated guidance, APRA acknowledged that the uncertainty 
in the economic outlook has reduced somewhat since April 2020 and APRA had the opportunity to review ADIs’ financial projections and stress 
testing results. Taking these and other developments since April 2020 into account, APRA advised ADIs to maintain caution in planning capital 
distributions, including dividend payments and that for the remainder of the calendar year, the ADIs’ Board should: 
 seek to retain at least half of their earnings when making decisions on capital distributions (and utilise dividend reinvestment plans and other 
initiatives to offset the diminution in capital from capital distributions where possible); 
 conduct regular stress testing to inform decision-making and demonstrate ongoing lending capacity; and 
 make use of capital buffers to absorb the impacts of stress, and continue to lend to support households and businesses. 
The Company’s 2020 interim dividend of 25 cents per share (paid to shareholders on 30 September 2020) and 2020 final dividend of 35 cents per 
share took into account the updated regulatory guidance above.

discontinued operations ceased to be eliminated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements and are included in the denominator used in calculating earnings per share. If the weighted average 
number of treasury shares held in Wealth Australia discontinued operations was included in the denominator used in calculating earnings per share from continuing operations in the comparative period, 
basic earnings per share from continuing operations for the comparative period would have been 221.4 cents and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the comparative period would 
have been 212.4 cents.

DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS 
The Group’s five continuing 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.

 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 solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a 
business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows; 
 FVOCI: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a business 
The following table sets out total operating income earned including discontinued operations and assets to be recovered in more than one year 
The following table sets out total operating income earned including discontinued operations and assets to be recovered in more than one year 
model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and 
 FVTPL: Any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL. 
Fair value option for financial assets 
A financial asset may be irrevocably designated at FVTPL on initial recognition when the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an 
accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

1.  In 2020, ANZ reclassified trading securities issued by development banks and supra-nationals from Corporate and financial institution securities and Equity and other securities to Government debt 
securities and notes. Comparative information has been restated accordingly, with $4,865 million reclassified as Government debt securities and notes made up of $4,653 million from Corporate and 
financial institution securities and $212 million from Equity and other securities. 
 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 change in fair value recognised in the profit and loss. 
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES 
Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to determine 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 (balance sheet 
management). 
 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 amount at a future date. 
An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or 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.

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

Objective of this 
hedging 
arrangement 
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 
Fair value hedge 
Cash flow hedge 
Net investment hedge 
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. 
To hedge our exposure to variability in 
cash flows of a recognised asset or 
liability, 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. 
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 the derivatives.  
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 (FCTR). 
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 have recognised in 
equity is transferred to profit or loss on 
disposal or partial disposal of a foreign 
operation.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 
 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 in 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 in 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 141 for profit or loss 
treatment depending on the hedge type. 
Sources of hedge ineffectiveness may arise from basis risk and differences in discounting between the 
hedged items and the hedging instruments. The hedging instruments are discounted using Overnight 
Index Swaps discount curves which are not applied to the hedged items. 
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 determine 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.

11. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued) 
During the year, the Group recognised a net gain (before tax) in Other operating income from the recycling of gains/losses previously deferred in 
equity of $23 million (2019: $240 million) in respect of investment securities. 
The carrying value of equity securities at FVOCI is $1,062 million (2019: $1,221 million). This includes the Group’s $934 million (2019: $1,106 million) 
investment in the Bank of Tianjin (BoT).  
 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 
Investment securities are those financial assets in security form (that is, transferable debt or equity instruments) that are not held for trading 
purposes. By way of exception, bills of exchange (a form of security/transferable instrument) which are used to facilitate the Group’s 
customer lending activities are classified as Loans and advances (rather than Investment securities) to better reflect the substance of the 
arrangement. 
Non-traded equity investments may be designated at FVOCI on an instrument by instrument basis. If this election is made, 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. 
Assets disclosed as Investment securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for Financial Assets outlined at 
the commencement of the Group’s financial asset disclosures on page 137. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with 
“Investment securities - debt securities at amortised cost” and “Investment securities - debt securities at fair value through other 
comprehensive income” are recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 13. For “Investment 
securities – debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income” the allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is recognised in 
the FVOCI reserve in equity with a corresponding charge to profit or loss. 
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES  
Judgement is required when we select valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of 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.

 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. 
Assets disclosed as net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on 
page 137. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with loans and advances at amortised cost are recognised and measured in 
accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 13.

COVID-19 REPAYMENT DEFERRAL PACKAGES OFFERED TO CUSTOMERS1 
Since March 2020, the Group has offered various forms of assistance to customers to counteract the impact of COVID-19 on the ability of customers to 
meet their loan obligations. The assistance provided has included arrangements such as temporary deferral of principal and interest repayments, 
replacing principal and interest with interest only repayments, and extension of loan maturity dates. Refer to Key Judgements and Estimates in this 
Note for details of the impact of deferrals when determining if there has been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR). 
The loan repayment deferral package is considered to be a loan modification under AASB 9. This either results in the loan being derecognised and 
replaced with a new loan (substantial modification) or the existing loan continuing to be recognised (non-substantial modification). The table below 
shows the outstanding balance as at 30 September 2020 of all loans that have been modified (both substantial and non-substantial modifications):

 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 
EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS IMPAIRMENT MODEL 
The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability weighted prediction which evaluates a range of scenarios and 
takes into account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.  
Expected credit losses are either measured over 12 months or the expected lifetime of the financial asset, depending on credit 
deterioration since origination, according to the following three-stage approach: 
 Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since origination, 
an allowance equivalent to 12 months ECL is recognised reflecting the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are 
possible within the next 12 months from the reporting date. For instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, expected 
credit losses are estimated based on default events that are possible over the remaining time to maturity. 
 Stage 2: Where there has been a SICR since origination, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised reflecting expected credit 
losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 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 applies. 
 Stage 3: Where there is objective evidence of impairment, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised. 
Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for exposures in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and on either a collective or individual basis 
when transferred to Stage 3. 
MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS 
ECL is calculated as the product of the following credit risk factors at a facility level, discounted to incorporate the time value of money:  
 Probability of default (PD) - the estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will default over a given period; 
 Exposure at default (EAD) - the expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest, 
expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest; and 
 Loss given default (LGD) - the expected loss in the event of the borrower defaulting, expressed as a percentage of the facility's EAD, 
taking into account direct and indirect recovery costs.  
These credit risk factors are adjusted for current and forward-looking information through the use of macro-economic variables. 
EXPECTED LIFE 
When estimating ECL for exposures in Stage 2 and 3, the Group considers the expected lifetime over which it is exposed to credit risk. 
For non-retail portfolios, the Group uses the maximum contractual period as the expected lifetime for non-revolving credit facilities. For 
non-retail revolving credit facilities, such as corporate lines of credit, the expected life reflects the Group’s contractual right to withdraw a 
facility as part of a contractually agreed annual review, after taking into account the applicable notice period. 
For retail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using a behavioural term, taking into account expected prepayment behaviour 
and substantial modifications. 
DEFINITION OF DEFAULT, CREDIT IMPAIRED AND WRITE-OFFS 
The definition of default used in measuring expected credit losses is aligned to the definition used for internal credit risk management 
purposes across all portfolios. This definition is also in line with the regulatory definition of default. Default occurs when there are indicators 
that a debtor is unlikely to fully satisfy contractual credit obligations to the Group, or the exposure is 90 days past due. 
Financial assets, including those that are well secured, are considered credit impaired for financial reporting purposes when they default.  
When there is no realistic probability of recovery, loans are written off against the related impairment allowance on completion of the 
Group’s internal processes and when all reasonably expected recoveries have been collected. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of 
amounts previously written-off are credited to credit impairment charge in the income statement.

 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 
MODIFIED FINANCIAL ASSETS 
If the terms of a financial asset are modified or an existing financial asset is replaced with a new one for either credit or commercial reasons, 
an assessment is made to determine if the changes to the terms of the existing financial asset are considered substantial. This assessment 
considers both changes in cash flows arising from the modified terms as well as changes in the overall instrument risk profile; for example, 
changes in the principal (credit limit), term, or type of underlying collateral. Where a modification is considered non-substantial, the existing 
financial asset is not derecognised and its date of origination continues to be used to determine SICR. Where a modification is considered 
substantial, the existing financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at its fair value on the modification date, which 
also becomes the date of origination used to determine SICR for this new asset. 
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CREDIT RISK (SICR) 
Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since origination. In determining what constitutes a 
SICR, the Group considers both qualitative and quantitative information: 
i. 
Internal credit rating grade 
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 and is measured by application of thresholds.  
For non-retail portfolios, a SICR is determined by comparing the Customer Credit Rating (CCR) applicable to a facility at reporting date to 
the CCR at origination of that facility. A CCR is assigned to each borrower which reflects the probability of default of the borrower and 
incorporates both borrower and non-borrower specific information, including forward-looking information. CCRs are subject to review 
at least annually or more frequently when an event occurs which could affect the credit risk of the customer.  
For retail portfolios, a SICR is determined, depending on the type of facility, by either comparing the scenario weighted lifetime probability 
of default at the reporting date to that at origination, or by reference to customer behavioural score thresholds. The scenario weighted 
lifetime probability of default may increase significantly if:  
 there has been a deterioration in the economic outlook, or an increase in economic uncertainty; or 
 there has been a deterioration in the customer’s overall credit position, or ability to manage their credit obligations. 
ii.  Backstop criteria 
The Group uses 30 days past due arrears as a backstop criteria for both non-retail and retail portfolios. For retail portfolios only, facilities are 
required to demonstrate three to six months of good payment behaviour prior to being allocated back to Stage 1. 
iii.  COVID-19 initiatives 
For facilities subject to the COVID-19 repayment deferral arrangements noted above, an assessment of SICR has been determined based 
on various measures of the customer’s current financial position and earnings capacity from which the facilities are categorised into risk 
categories.  SICR is then determined based on the resulting risk categorisation. Customers in higher risk categories, and those who have 
requested a deferral extension are classified as having a SICR. 
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION 
Forward-looking information is incorporated into both our assessment of whether a financial asset has experienced a Significant Increase in 
Credit Risk (SICR) since its initial recognition and in our estimate of ECL. In applying forward-looking information for estimating ECL, the Group 
considers four probability-weighted forecast economic scenarios as follows:  
i.  Base case scenario 
The base case scenario is ANZ’s view of the most likely future macro-economic conditions. It reflects management’s assumptions used for 
strategic planning and budgeting, and also informs the Group Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) which is the process 
the Group applies in strategic and capital planning over a 3-year time horizon;  
ii.  Upside and iii. Downside scenarios 
The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the 
economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and 
pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic events and uncertainty over long term horizons; and 
iv.  Severe downside scenario 
The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe impact 
of less likely extremely adverse economic conditions. It reflects macro-economic conditions of a downturn economic event with a 
probability of occurrence once every 25 years.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION (continued) 
The four scenarios are described in terms of macro-economic variables used in the PD, LGD and EAD models (collectively the ECL models) 
depending on the portfolio and country of the borrower. Examples of the variables include unemployment rates, GDP growth rates, house 
price indices, commercial property price indices and consumer price indices.  
Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case 
economic scenario, as well as specific portfolio considerations where required. The Group Asset and Liability Committee (GALCO) is 
responsible for reviewing and approving the base case economic forecast scenario and the Credit and Market Risk Committee (CMRC) 
approves the probability weights applied to each scenario. 
Where applicable, temporary adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been adequately 
addressed in the modelling process. CMRC is responsible for approving such adjustments.

The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the ECL model inputs and the interdependencies 
between those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period. 
The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impact of COVID-19, and reflect historical 
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstances. In relation to COVID-19, judgements and assumptions include the extent and duration of the pandemic, the 
impacts of actions of governments and other authorities, and the responses of businesses and consumers in different industries, along with 
the associated impact on the global economy. Accordingly, the Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results 
may differ from these estimates. 
Judgement/Assumption  Description 
Determining when a 
Significant Increase in 
Credit Risk (SICR) has 
occurred 
In the measurement of ECL, judgement is 
involved in setting the rules and trigger points to 
determine whether there has been a SICR since 
initial recognition of a loan, which would result in 
the financial asset moving from ‘Stage 1’ to ‘Stage 
2’. This is a key area of judgement since transition 
from Stage 1 to Stage 2 increases the ECL from an 
allowance based on the probability of default in 
the next 12 months, to an allowance for lifetime 
expected credit losses. Subsequent decreases in 
credit risk resulting in transition from Stage 2 to 
Stage 1 may similarly result in significant changes 
in the ECL allowance.   
The setting of precise trigger points requires 
judgement which may have a material impact 
upon the size of the ECL allowance. The Group 
monitors the effectiveness of SICR criteria on an 
ongoing basis.
Considerations for the year ended 30 September 2020 
In response to the impacts of COVID-19, various 
packages, such as repayment deferrals, have been 
offered to eligible retail and commercial customers in 
Australia and New Zealand. The Group does not consider 
that when a customer is first provided assistance, all 
other things being equal, that there has been a 
Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) and a 
consequent impact on ECL when assessing provisions. 
Subsequent to take-up, customers have been contacted 
to discuss available options once the packages reach 
their end date. This additional information on the 
customer’s financial position and ability to recommence 
their loan repayments is used to assist in classification of 
customers into risk categories. Customers in higher risk 
categories, and those who have requested a deferral 
extension, have been classified as having a SICR.

losses 
The probability of default (PD), loss given default 
(LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) credit risk 
parameters used in determining ECL are point-in-
time measures reflecting the relevant forward-
looking information determined by management. 
Judgement is involved in determining which 
forward-looking information variables are relevant 
for particular lending portfolios and for determining 
each portfolio’s point-in-time sensitivity. 
In addition, judgement is required where 
behavioural characteristics are applied in estimating 
the lifetime of a facility to be used in measuring 
ECL.  
The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to the Group’s model risk 
policy that stipulates periodic model monitoring, periodic re-
validation and defines approval procedures and authorities 
according to model materiality. 
There were no material changes to the policies during the year

There were no changes to behavioural lifetime estimates during

Base case economic 
forecast 
The Group derives a forward-looking “base case” 
economic scenario which reflects ANZ’s view of the 
most likely future macro-economic conditions. 
There have been no changes to the types of forward-looking 
variables (key economic drivers) used as model inputs in the 
current year. 
Probability weighting of 
each economic scenario 
(base case, upside, 
downside and severe 
downside scenarios)1,2 
Probability weighting of each economic scenario is 
determined by management considering the risks 
and uncertainties surrounding the base case 
economic scenario at each measurement date. 
As at 30 September 2020, the base case assumptions have been 
updated to reflect the rapidly evolving situation with respect to 
COVID-19. This includes an assessment of the impact of central 
bank policies, governments’ actions, the response of business, and 
institution specific responses (such as repayment deferrals). These 
are considered in determining the length and severity of the 
forecast economic downturn. 
The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for the base case 
scenario as at 30 September 2020 are described below under the 
heading “Base case economic forecast assumptions”. 
The key consideration for probability weightings in the current 
period is the continuing impact of COVID-19. 
The Group considers these weightings in each geography to 
provide the best estimate of the possible loss outcomes and has 
analysed inter-relationships and correlations (over both the short 
and long term) within the Group’s credit portfolios in determining 
them. 
In addition to the base case forecast which reflects the negative 
economic consequences of COVID-19, greater weighting has been 
applied to the downside scenario given the Group’s assessment of 
downside risks. 
The assigned probability weightings in Australia, New Zealand and 
Rest of world are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty 
and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to 
those projected.

The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe downside impact of less likely extremely adverse economic

Management have applied a number of adjustments to the 
modelled ECL primarily due to the uncertainty associated 
with COVID-19.  
Management overlays (including COVID-19 overlays) which 
add to the modelled ECL provision have been made for risks 
particular to small business and commercial banking in 
Australia, for retail, commercial and agri banking in New 
Zealand, and for tourism in the Pacific. 
Management temporary adjustments to the 
ECL allowance are used in circumstances where 
it is judged that our existing inputs, 
assumptions and model techniques do not 
capture all the risk factors relevant to our 
lending portfolios. Emerging local or global 
macroeconomic, microeconomic or political 
events, and natural disasters that are not 
incorporated into our current parameters, risk 
ratings, or forward-looking information are 
examples of such circumstances. The use of 
management temporary adjustments may 
impact the amount of ECL recognised. 
The uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 
pandemic, and the extent to which the actions 
of governments, businesses and consumers 
mitigate against potentially adverse credit 
outcomes are not fully incorporated into 
existing ECL models. Accordingly, management

provisions are appropriate.

Probability weightings 
Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case 
economic scenario. The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the continuing impact of COVID-19. 
In addition to the base case economic forecast which reflects the negative economic consequences of COVID-19, greater weighting has been 
applied to the downside economic scenario given the Group’s assessment of downside risks. 
The assigned probability weightings in Australia, New Zealand and Rest of world are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and 
therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Group considers these weightings in each geography to

The uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 introduces significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the measurement of the Group’s 
allowance for expected credit losses. The rapidly evolving consequences of COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses 
could result in significant adjustments to the allowance in future financial years. 
Given current economic uncertainties and the judgment applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future 
periods, expected credit losses reported by the Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

b) the embedded derivative is closely related to the host financial liability.  
Where financial liabilities are designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are included in

Includes $12 billion of funds drawn under the RBA’s Term Funding Facility (TFF).  TFF is initially recognised at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method.  Refer to Note 16 Financial Risk Management for more details. 
2.  In 2019, Other borrowings related to secured investments issued by the consolidated subsidiary UDC Finance Limited (UDC) of NZD 0.1 billion, which were secured by a security interest over all the assets

3.  From 1 October 2019, the Group changed its accounting treatment for certain gold loan and deposit products which are now designated as at fair value through profit and loss. 
 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 measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
Refer to Note 17 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.   
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 and loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to profit and 
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 profit and loss.

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. In the winding up of the relevant issuer, the 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 redemption 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 USD 300 million perpetual subordinated notes until the end of the transitional 
period (December 2021).

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 significant value as of the reporting date given the remote nature of those trigger events.

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 key material risks. 
We disclose details of all key material 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. 
Key material financial risks 
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 (AASB 7). 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. 
This note details the Group’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the key financial risks.

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 that seeks to ensure compliance with, and the effectiveness of, the risk management 
framework; 
 facilitation of a comprehensive review every three years that seeks to ensure the appropriateness, effectiveness and adequacy of the risk 
management framework; and 
 recommendations to improve the framework and/or work practices to strengthen the effectiveness of day to day operations.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 
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) 
Exposure at Default (EAD) 
Loss Given Default (LGD) 
Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting the Group’s assessment of a customer’s ability 
to service and repay debt. 
The expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and 
interest, expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest at the time of default. 
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. To enable wider comparisons, the Group’s CCRs are mapped to 
external rating agency scales as follows:

Demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with

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.

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 
CREDIT RISK (continued) 
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.  
Composition of financial instruments that give rise to credit risk by industry group are presented below:

We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations. Where there is 
sufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is largely the case for certain lending products that are secured by corresponding 
investment for which the margin loans are utilised and for reverse repurchase agreements. 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. During the period there was no change in our collateral policies. 
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.

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 
MARKET RISK 
MARKET RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES 
Market risk stems from the Group’s trading and balance sheet management activities and 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 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. 
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. 
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.

1. The diversification benefit reflects risks that offset across categories. The high and low VaR figures reported for each factor did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported for the 
Group as a whole. Consequently, a diversification benefit for high and low would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the table. 
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 and 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.

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

EQUITY SECURITIES DESIGNATED AT FVOCI  
Our investment securities 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 appropriately measured 
based on the recognition and measurement policies set out in Note 11 Investment securities. 
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 effect of changes in foreign 
exchange rates on the consolidated capital ratios are minimised.

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.

the Group regularly reviews the valuations of the investments within the portfolio and assesses whether the investments are appropriately measured 
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 
(RBA). 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 2020, ANZ’s CLF is $35.7 billion (2019 calendar year end: $48.0 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 139% for 2020, a decrease from the 2019 average of 140%, and above the regulatory minimum of 
100%. 
Net Stable Funding Ratio 
ANZ’s Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as at 30 September 2020 was 124% (2019: 116%), above the regulatory minimum of 100%.

Group funding 
The Group monitors the composition and stability of its funding so that it remains within the Group’s funding risk appetite. This approach ensures that

RBA Term Funding Facility 
As an additional source of funding, in March 2020, the RBA announced a term funding facility (TFF) for the banking system to support lending to 
Australian businesses. The TFF is a three-year secured funding facility to ADIs at a fixed rate of 0.25%. APRA has determined that the TFF qualifies for 
inclusion in determining the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). ADIs can obtain initial funding of up to 3% of their 
existing credit outstanding to Australian households and businesses, and have access to additional funding if they increase lending to business, 
especially to small and medium-sized businesses.  
As at 30 September 2020, ANZ had drawn $12 billion from its initial TFF allowance of $12 billion, and drawn $nil from its additional TFF allowance of $6 
billion.

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
- Investment securities
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

1.  During the year, $127 million of assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level1 (2019: nil) following increased trading activity to support quoted prices. There were no other material transfers during the year. 
Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. 
2.  From 1 October 2019, Group changed its accounting treatment for certain gold loan and deposit products which are now designated as at fair value through profit and loss. 
3.  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.  
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 $1,128 million (2019: $1,220 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; 
 net loans and advances that are required to be measured at fair value for which there is no observable market data; and 
 other derivatives referencing market rates that cannot be observed primarily due to lack of market activity. 
Movement in Level 3 balance is mainly due to the revaluation of the Group’s investment in Bank of Tianjin. 
There were no material transfers in or out of Level 3 during the period.

value of equity). The extent of judgement 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.  
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 $93 million (2019: $111 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.

         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. This has not changed as a result of 
COVID-19, however the Group has considered the impact of related economic and market disruptions on fair value measurement 
assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs, notably valuation adjustments, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the 
classification of exposures in the fair value hierarchy. 
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 reflect the Group’s assessment of factors that market participants 
would consider in setting fair value.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING FOR CASH GENERATING UNITS (CGUs) CONTAINING GOODWILL 
During the year ended September 2020, $124 million of goodwill was written off in relation to completed divestments.  In addition, as a result of 
changes in economic outlook, the Group announced its intention to begin winding up the Bonus Bonds business, a managed investment product in 
New Zealand and the Group wrote off the associated goodwill of $27 million. The balance of goodwill was subject to impairment assessment as set 
out below which resulted in $50 million of goodwill impairment in the Pacific division. 
An assessment as to whether the current carrying value of goodwill is impaired is undertaken annually or where there are indicators of potential 
impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated at the date of acquisition to the cash 
generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the related business combination. These CGUs are ANZ’s reportable 
segments. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. 
In determining the carrying amount of the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, we include all direct assets and liabilities and an allocation, on a 
reasonable and consistent basis, of corporate assets and liabilities that are recorded outside those CGUs to which goodwill is allocated. 
We estimate the recoverable amount of each CGU to which goodwill is allocated using a fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) approach, with a 
value in use (VIU) assessment performed where the FVLCOD is less than the carrying amount. 
As the Group’s market capitalisation was below the Group’s net asset value at 30 September 2020, and considering uncertainties surrounding COVID-
19, the Group assessed the carrying value of goodwill as at 30 September 2020.  Based on this assessment: 
no impairment was identified in the Australia Retail and Commercial, New Zealand and Institutional CGUs under the FVLCOD approach;
the Pacific CGU’s recoverable amount measured on a VIU basis (being higher than its FVLCOD) indicated a shortfall in recoverable amount 
relative to carrying amount. Accordingly an impairment loss of $50 million has been recognised at 30 September 2020, reducing the carrying 
amount of goodwill to nil. 
Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal 
The recoverable amount of each CGU to which goodwill is allocated is estimated on a FVLCOD basis, calculated using a market multiple approach. 
Under this approach, we determine the estimated fair value of each of our CGUs by applying observable price earnings multiples of appropriate 
comparator companies to the estimated future maintainable earnings of each CGU. A deduction is then made for estimated costs of disposal. The 
valuation is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
20. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) 
Management’s approach and the key assumptions used to determine FVLCOD, for those CGUs where recoverable amount was determined on the 
basis of FVLCOD were as follows: 
Key assumption 
Future maintainable earnings 
Price/Earnings (P/E) multiple 
applied (including control 
premium) 
Approach to determining the value (or values) for each key assumption 
Future maintainable earnings for each CGU have been estimated as the sum of: 
 
The financial year 2021 financial plan results for each CGU, which incorporates management 
estimates of the impacts of COVID-19; plus 
An allocation of the central costs recorded outside of the CGU’s to which goodwill is allocated. 
 
Adjustments have been made to the financial year 2021 plan results to: 
 
 
reflect longer term expected credit losses; and  
normalise certain other operating expenditure where specific factors result in financial year 2021 
planned expenditure exceeding longer term maintainable levels with the higher operating 
expenditure treated as a one-off adjustment in the valuations. 
Trading multiples: 
The P/E multiples used have been derived from valuations of comparable publicly traded companies as at 
30 September 2020 and are the median P/E multiple (2021 earnings multiple) of the comparator group: 
 
For the Australia Retail and Commercial and New Zealand CGUs, the comparator group is the four 
major banking groups headquartered in Australia; 
For the Institutional CGU, the comparator group includes the four major banking groups 
headquartered in Australia plus certain major financial institutions who compete with the Group in 
international markets. 
 
In the case of the New Zealand and Institutional CGUs, management has made downwards adjustments 
to comparator group multiples to address specific factors relevant to those CGUs. 
For each of ANZ’s CGUs where the recoverable amount was determined on the basis of FVLCOD, the P/E 
multiples applied (including a 30% control premium discussed below) were as follows:

Control premium: 
A control premium has been applied which recognises the increased consideration a potential acquirer 
would be willing to pay in order to gain sufficient ownership to achieve control over the relevant activities 
of the CGU. For each CGU, the control premium has been estimated as 30% of the comparator group P/E 
multiple based on historical transactions. 
Costs of disposal 
Costs of disposal have been estimated as 2% of the fair value of the CGU based on input from historical 
and recent transactions. 
FVLCOD assessment outcomes 
For those CGUs where recoverable amount was determined on the basis of FVLCOD, the surplus of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount 
was as follows:

20. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) 
The FVLCOD estimates for the respective CGUs would continue to show a surplus in recoverable amount over carrying amount if: 
 
 
 
either the P/E multiple applied or the future maintainable earnings estimates were reduced (in isolation) by 13.6% in Australia Retail and 
Commercial; 8.6% in New Zealand or 2.6% in Institutional; or 
the 30% control premium applied was reduced by 59.5% in Australia Retail and Commercial (resulting in a control premium applied of 
12.1%), by 38.1% in New Zealand (resulting in a control premium applied of 18.6%) or by 11.4% in Institutional (resulting in a control 
premium applied of 26.6%); or  
the share of corporate assets and liabilities was increased (in isolation) by 17.3% to Australia Retail and Commercial; 10.1% to New Zealand 
or 3.2% to Institutional. 
As the recoverable amounts estimated on the basis of FVLCOD show a surplus of recoverable amount over carrying amount for the Australia Retail 
and Commercial, New Zealand and Institutional CGUs, such adverse movements would not necessarily trigger an impairment, rather they would 
trigger the need for a VIU assessment to be performed with any impairment determined on the basis of the higher of FVLCOD and VIU. 
Value In Use 
The Pacific CGU’s recoverable amount was measured on the basis of its VIU (as this was higher than the FVLCOD). Recoverable amount under the VIU 
assessment was estimated at $466 million using a post-tax discount rate of 13%, which resulted in a shortfall relative to carrying amount. Accordingly 
an impairment loss of $50 million has been recognised at 30 September 2020, reducing the carrying amount of goodwill to nil. In addition, an 
associated assessment of the carrying values of the other assets in the Pacific was completed and no impairment (apart from goodwill) was recorded. 
The goodwill applicable to each CGU before and after impairment charges and other adjustments is shown below:

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. 
Goodwill 
A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired: 
 
 
 
the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are the Group’s four 
revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill. 
determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis of corporate 
assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated. 
assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported is 
based on judgements including: 
o 
o 
selection of the model used to determine the fair value – the Group has used the market multiple approach to estimate the 
fair value; and 
selection of the key assumptions in respect of future maintainable earnings, the P/E multiple applied, including selection of 
an appropriate comparator group and determination of an appropriate control premium, and costs of disposal as described 
above. 
The assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU has been made within the context of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on both earnings 
and asset prices, and reflects expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  The rapidly evolving 
consequences of COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses create heightened uncertainty in these estimates and any 
variations could have a positive or adverse impact on the determination of recoverable amounts. 
Software and other intangible assets 
At each reporting date, software and other intangible assets, are assessed for indicators of impairment and, where such indicators are identified, an 
impairment assessment is performed. In the event that an asset’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than its recoverable amount, the 
carrying amount of the asset is written down immediately. Those assets not yet ready for use are tested for impairment annually. 
In addition, the expected useful lives of intangible assets are assessed at each reporting date. The assessment requires management judgement, 
and in relation to our software assets, a number of factors can influence the expected useful lives. These factors include changes to business 
strategy, significant divestments and the underlying pace of technological change. 
During the Financial year the Group amended the application of the software policy to reflect the shorter useful lives of various types of software, 
including regulatory and compliance focused assets and purchased assets. These changes better reflect the Group’s rapidly changing technology 
and business needs and ongoing reinvestment in purchased and internally developed software to ensure assets remain fit for purpose.

Customer remediation 
Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers, remediation project costs and related customer and regulatory 
claims, penalties and litigation outcomes.  
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 certain 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 workers compensation, make-good provisions associated with leased premises, 
warranties and indemnities provided in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets, and contingent liabilities recognised as part 
of a business combination.

 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 
The Group recognises provisions when there is a present obligation arising from a past event, 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 the reporting date, taking into 
account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the timing and amount of 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, non-lending losses, fraud and 
forgeries and litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the timing and 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, the associated remediation project 
costs, and the implications of regulatory exposures and customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances. 
Consequently, the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other 
relevant evidence including expert legal advices and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

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 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 purchased and held to back policy liabilities in the          
statutory funds prior to the successor fund transfer performed in preparation for the sale of 
the Group’s wealth business to Zurich and IOOF which completed on 13 April 2019. 
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 together with any tax effect. 
Includes changes in the fair value of certain debt securities and equity securities included 
within Investment Securities together with any tax effect. 
In respect of debt securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records 
accumulated changes in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition, except for those 
relating to allowance for expected credit losses, interest income and foreign currency 
exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. As debt securities at FVOCI 
are recorded at fair value, the balance of the FVOCI reserve is net of the ECL allowance 
associated with such assets. When a debt security measured at FVOCI is derecognised, the 
cumulative gain or loss recognised in the FVOCI reserve in respect of that security is 
reclassified to profit or loss and presented in Other Operating Income. 
In respect of the equity securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records 
accumulated changes in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition (including any 
related foreign exchange gains or losses). When an equity security measured at FVOCI is 
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in the FVOCI reserve in respect of that 
security is not recycled to profit or loss.

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 Capital divided by total risk 
weighted assets must be at least 4.5%. 
Tier 1 Capital divided by total risk

6.0%. 
Total Capital divided by total risk weighted 
assets must be at least 8.0%. 
Reporting Levels

Level 3

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 (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 capital levels on operations in their 
individual jurisdictions.

25. CONTROLLED ENTITIES (continued) 
CHANGES TO MATERIAL CONTROLLED ENTITIES 
The following changes to our material entities have occurred during the year ended 30 September 2020. 
 In January 2020, OnePath Funds Management Limited and OnePath Custodians Pty Limited was sold to IOOF Holdings Limited. The 
holding company of these entities, ANZ Wealth Australia Limited, is no longer considered to be a material entity. 
 In September 2020, UDC Finance Limited was sold to Shinsei Bank Limited. 
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.

1.  Includes market value adjustments (including goodwill) the Group made at the time of acquisition (and adjustments for any differences in accounting policies). 
2.  In 2019, the Group recognised a decrease of $32m and $33m to the carrying value of AMMB Holdings Berhad and PT Bank Pan Indonesia respectively with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings 
reflecting the Group's share of the estimated initial application impact of IFRS 9 (the international equivalent of AASB 9).  
3.  In 2020, the Group recognised an adjustment of $68 million to the equity accounted earnings of PT Panin. When the Group adopted AASB 9 Financial Instruments on 1 October 2018, an estimate of PT 
Panin’s transition adjustment was recognised through opening retained earnings to align accounting policies. PT Panin adopted AASB 9 during the current financial year recognising a transition adjustment 
in retained earnings. The adjustment of $68 million represents the Group’s equity accounted share of the transition adjustment net of amounts previously recognised by the Group on 1 October 2018. 
4.  The Group recorded an impairment charge of $815 million in other operating income based on impairment assessments performed as part of the Group 31 March 2020 half year results with AmBank 
impaired by $595 million and PT Panin impaired by $220 million.

26. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (continued) 
IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT 
The Group assesses the carrying value of its associate investments for impairment indicators.  
During the year the Group identified an indicator of impairment as neither the market values of the investments in AMMB Holdings Berhad 
(AmBank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin) (based on share price) nor the value-in-use (VIU) calculation supported the carrying value of 
either investment. Accordingly, the Group recorded an impairment charge of $815 million ($595 million for AmBank and $220 million for PT 
Panin).  
VIU assessments were also conducted as at 30 September 2020 given the market values were below their carrying values. The assumptions used 
in the VIU were updated to reflect the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of the future performance of these investments. The VIU 
assessments supported the carrying value of both Ambank and PT Panin as at 30 September 2020, however did not indicate the recoverable 
amount of either investments had increased sufficiently to reverse any of the impairment recorded during the year.  
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 when applicable, other methodologies (such as capitalisation of earnings methodology), 
to determine the recoverable amount. 
KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES 
The ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the valuation of AmBank and PT Panin is uncertain. Significant management judgment is required to 
determine the key assumptions underpinning the VIU calculations. Factors that may change in subsequent periods and lead to potential 
future impairments include lower than forecast earnings levels in the near term and/or a decrease in the long term growth forecasts, 
increases to required levels of regulatory capital and an increase in the post-tax discount rate arising from an increase in the risk premium 
or risk-free rates. 
The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculation are outlined below: 
As at 30 September 2020 
Post-tax discount rate 
Terminal growth rate 
Expected earnings growth (compound annual growth rate – 5 years) 
AmBank 
PT Panin 
11.3% 
4.8% 
2.8% 
15.2% 
5.3% 
4.2% 
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (5 year average) 
The VIU calculations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions with reasonably possible changes in key assumptions having a 
positive or negative impact on the VIU outcome, and as such the recoverable amount of the investment.  
12.8% 
12.9% 
 
 
A change in the September 2020 post-tax discount rate by +/- 50bps would impact the VIU outcome for PT Panin by $(46 million) / 
$50 million, and $(87 million) / $99 million for AmBank.  
A change in the September 2020 terminal growth rate by +/- 25bps would impact the VIU outcome for PT Panin by $8 million / ($8 
million) and $47 million / ($44 million) for Ambank.  
Neither investment would be impaired if the discount rate were increased or the terminal growth rate reduced by the reasonably 
possible changes above.

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 determining who controls 
the entity. SEs are generally established with restrictions on their ongoing activities in order to achieve narrow and well defined objectives. 
SEs are classified as subsidiaries and consolidated when control exists. If the Group does not control a SE, then it is not consolidated. This note 
provides information on both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs.

Funds management activities 
Details 
The Group controls SEs established 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 used to create assets that are eligible for repurchase under agreements 
with the applicable central bank. These 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, the Group consolidates the SE. 
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. In limited circumstances where 
control exists, the Group consolidates the SE. 
The Group conducts 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 issuance of puttable units 
to investors. The Group’s exposure to Investment Funds is limited to receiving fees for services and derivatives 
entered into for risk management purposes. These interests do not create significant exposures to the funds that 
would allow the Group to control the funds. Therefore, the funds are not consolidated.

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 (2019: 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: 
On-balance sheet interests 
Investment securities 
Gross loans and advances

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. 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.

GROUP’S INTEREST IN UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES 
GROUP’S INTEREST IN UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES 
The maximum exposure to loss has been determined as: 
 the carrying amount of Investment securities measured at amortised cost; and 
 the carrying amount plus the undrawn amount of any committed loans and advances. 
The size of unconsolidated SEs is indicated by total assets which vary by SE with a maximum value of approximately $5.1 billion. 
The Group did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2019: 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.

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 the Group has control over Structured Entities. Judgement is required to determine 
the existence of: 
 power over the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); 
 exposure to variable returns of the entity; and 
 the ability to use its power over the entity to affect the Group’s returns.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 
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. 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 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 
When the Group sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which we retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, then 
those assets 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. These 
transactions are recognised on Group’s balance sheet as lease receivables or loans. At times, other financial institutions participate in the funding of 
these arrangements. This participation involves a proportionate transfer of the rights to the assets recognised by the Group. The participating banks 
have limited recourse to the leased assets or financed commodity and related proceeds. Where the Group continues to be exposed to some of the 
risks of the transferred assets through a derivative or other continuing involvement, 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.

In October 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its OnePath pensions and investments (OnePath P&I) business and Aligned Dealer Groups 
(ADGs) businesses to IOOF. The sale of the ADG business completed on 1 October 2018 and the sale of OnePath P&I business was completed on 31 
January 2020. 
In December 2017, the Group announced that it had agreed to the sale of its life insurance business to Zurich Financial Services Australia (Zurich) and 
the transaction was completed on 31 May 2019. 
As a result of the sale transactions outlined above, the financial results of the businesses to be divested and associated Group reclassification and

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. 
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.

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 $104 million (2019 surplus of $48 million). In 2020, the Group made defined benefit contributions totaling $4 million (2019: $3 
million). It expects to make contributions of around $3 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.

31. EMPLOYEE SHARE AND OPTION PLANS 
ANZ operates a number of employee share and option schemes under the ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan and the ANZ Share Option Plan. 
ANZ EMPLOYEE SHARE ACQUISITION PLAN 
ANZ Employee Share Acquisition Plan schemes that operated during the 2020 and 2019 years were the Employee Share Offer and the Deferred     
Share Plan.

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 equity. 
698,862 shares were granted on 2 December 2019 at an issue price of $24.96, noting this is the final Employee Share 
Offer in its current form following changes to variable remuneration (effective financial year 2020) as part of the 
Reimagining Reward initiative.  
656,738 shares were granted on 3 December 2018 at an issue price of $26.91.

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). 
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.

Deferred shares remain at risk and the Board has the discretion to adjust the number of deferred shares 
downwards, including to zero at any time before the vesting date. ANZ’s malus (downward adjustment) provisions 
are detailed in section 5.3 of the 2020 Remuneration Report.

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            
Selected employees (excludes the CEO, ExCo and GGM IA (i.e. other BEAR Accountable Executive). 
Selected employees (excludes the CEO, ExCo and GGM IA (i.e. other BEAR Accountable Executive). 
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). 
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 equity. 
Cessation 
The provisions that apply if the employee’s employment ends are in section 8.2.3 of the 2020 Remuneration Report.

Satisfying vesting 
We grant performance rights to the CEO and ExCo, and have granted performance rights to selected employees, as 
part of ANZ’s variable remuneration plans. Performance rights provide the holder with the right to acquire ANZ shares 
at nil cost, subject to a four-year vesting period1 and Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdles. Further 
details on the performance hurdles are in section 5.2.3a of the 2020 Remuneration Report. 
Any portion of the award of performance rights (that have met the performance hurdles) may be satisfied by a cash 
equivalent payment rather than shares at the Board’s discretion. In 2020, all performance rights lapsed due to not 
meeting the performance hurdles. In 2019, the performance rights that vested were satisfied through a share 
allocation, other than 47,195 performance rights for which a cash payment was made. 
2020 and 2019 grants 
During the 2020 year, we granted 520,172 performance rights (2019: 885,810).

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 2020 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 4,882,936 shares at an average price of $25.06 per share (2019: 4,317,094 shares at 
an average price of $25.99 per share).

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 $227,819 million (2019: $209,341 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 $22,778 million (2019: $22,339 million) 
and total performance related contingencies of $17,017 million (2019: $22,112 million) mature within 12 months.

and total performance related contingencies of $17,017 million (2019: $22,112 million) mature within 12 months. 
OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 
As at 30 September 2020, 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 (refer to note 21) 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. 
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 also been significant 
increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations, surveillance and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement actions (whether by court action 
or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against 
financial institutions both in Australia and globally. 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. The nature of these interactions 
can be wide ranging and, for example, currently include a range of matters including responsible lending practices, regulated lending requirements, 
product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealth advice, insurance 
distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money laundering and 
counter-terrorism financing obligations, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation. 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. 
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 or SIBOR. The claimants seek damages or compensation in amounts not 
specified, and allege that the defendant banks, including the Company, violated US anti-trust laws and (in the BBSW case only) anti-racketeering laws, 
the Commodity Exchange Act, and unjust enrichment principles. The Company is defending the proceedings. 
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. 
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 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 Company is defending the allegations. 
CONSUMER CREDIT INSURANCE LITIGATION 
In February 2020, a class action was brought against the Company alleging breaches of financial advice obligations, misleading or deceptive conduct 
and unconscionable conduct in relation to the distribution of consumer credit insurance products. The issuers of the insurance products, QBE and 
OnePath Life, are also defendants to the claim. The Company is defending the allegations. 
ESANDA DEALER CAR LOAN LITIGATION 
In August 2020, a class action was brought against the Company alleging unfair conduct, misleading or deceptive conduct and equitable mistake in 
relation to the use of flex commissions in dealer arranged Esanda car loans. The Company is defending the allegations. 
ROYAL COMMISSION 
The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry released its final report on 4 February 2019. 
The findings and recommendations of the Commission are resulting 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.

33. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS (continued) 
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 claims under those warranties, 
indemnities and commitments. 
CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT OBLIGATIONS 
Certain group companies have a commitment to comply with rules governing various clearing and settlement arrangements which could result in a 
credit risk exposure and loss if another member institution fails to settle its payment clearing activities. The Group’s potential exposure arising from 
these arrangements is unquantifiable in advance. 
Certain group companies hold memberships of central clearing houses, including ASX Clear (Futures), London Clearing House (LCH) SwapClear and 
RepoClear, Korea Exchange (KRX), Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX), Clearing Corporation of India and the Shanghai Clearing House. These memberships 
allow the relevant group company to centrally clear derivative instruments in line with cross-border regulatory requirements. Common to all of these 
memberships is the requirement for the relevant group company to make default fund contributions. In the event of a default by another member, 
the relevant group 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 (Grindlays) and certain other 
businesses. The Company provided warranties and indemnities relating to those businesses. 
The indemnified matters include civil penalty proceedings and criminal prosecutions brought by Indian authorities against Grindlays and certain of its 
officers, in relation to certain transactions conducted in 1991 that are alleged to have breached the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. 
Civil penalties were imposed in 2007 which are the subject of appeals. The criminal prosecutions are being defended. 
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.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued) 
ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ($5,899m) 
Refer to the critical accounting estimates and judgements disclosures in relation to the allowance for expected credit losses in Note 13 to the Financial Report. 
The Key Audit Matter 
Allowance for expected credit losses is a key audit matter due to the significance of the loans and advances balance to the financial statements and 
the inherent complexity of the Group’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) models (ECL models) used to measure ECL allowances. These models are reliant on 
data and a number of estimates including the impact of multiple economic scenarios and other assumptions such as defining a significant increase in 
credit risk (SICR).  
AASB 9 Financial Instruments requires the Group to measure ECLs on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of economic conditions, of which GDP 
and unemployment levels are considered key assumptions. Post-model adjustments are made by the Group to address known ECL model limitations 
or emerging trends in the loan portfolios. We exercise significant judgement in challenging the economic scenarios used and the judgemental post 
model adjustments the Group applies to the ECL results. 
The Group’s criteria selected to identify a SICR, such as a decrease in customer credit rating (CCR), are key areas of judgement within the Group’s ECL 
methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 12 month or lifetime allowance is recorded.  
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that assumptions regarding the economic outlook are more uncertain which, combined with varying 
government responses, increases the level of judgement required by the Group in calculating the ECL, and the associated audit risk.   
Additionally, allowances for individually assessed wholesale loans exceeding specific thresholds are individually assessed by the Group. We exercise 
significant judgment in challenging the assessment of specific allowances based on the expected future cash repayments and estimated proceeds 
from the value of the collateral held by the Group in respect of the loans. 
How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Our audit procedures for the allowance for ECL and disclosures included assessing the Group’s significant accounting policies against the 
requirements of the accounting standard. Additionally, our procedures covered: 
Testing key controls of the Group in relation to: 
 The ECL model governance and validation processes which involved assessment of model performance; 
 The assessment and approval of the forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenario weightings through challenge applied by the 
Group’s internal governance processes; 
 Reconciliation of the data used in the ECL calculation process to gross balances recorded within the general ledger as well as source systems;  
 Counterparty risk grading for wholesale loans (larger customer exposures are monitored individually). This covered elements such as: approval of 
new lending facilities against the Group’s lending policies, monitoring of counterparty credit quality against the Group’s exposure criteria for 
internal factors specific to the counterparty or external macroeconomic factors, and accuracy and timeliness of counterparty risk assessments and 
risk grading against the requirements of the Group’s lending policies and regulatory requirements; and  
 IT system controls which record retail loans lending arrears, group exposures into delinquency buckets, and re-calculate individual allowances. We 
tested automated calculation and change management controls and evaluated the Group’s oversight of the portfolios, with a focus on controls 
over delinquency monitoring. 
We tested relevant General Information Technology Controls (GITCs) over the key IT applications used by the Group in measuring ECL allowances as 
detailed in the IT Systems and Controls key audit matter below. 
In addition to controls testing, our procedures included: 
 Re-performing credit assessments of a sample of wholesale loans controlled 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 and in particular considering the impacts of COVID-19 and climate change). 
For each loan sampled, we challenged the Group’s CCR and Security Indicator (SI), taking into account our assessment of the customer’s financial 
position and, where relevant, the risk of stranded assets, and our overall assessment of loan recoverability, the valuation of security, and the impact 
on the credit allowance. To do this, we used the information on the Group’s loan file, discussed the facts and circumstances of the case with the 
loan officer, and performed our own assessment of recoverability. Exercising our judgment, our procedures included using our understanding of 
relevant industries and the macroeconomic environment and comparing data and assumptions 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. Where relevant we assessed the forecast timing of future cash flows in the context of underlying valuations and approved business 
plans and challenged key assumptions in the valuations; 
 Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s processes to determine ECL allowances, evaluating the Group’s ECL model methodologies against 
established market practices and criteria in the accounting standards;

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued) 
KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued) 
 Working with KPMG risk consulting specialists, we assessed the accuracy of the Group’s ECL model estimates by re-performing, for a sample of 
loans, the ECL allowance using our independently derived calculation tools and comparing this to the amount recorded by the Group; 
 Working with KPMG economic specialists, we challenged the Group’s forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenarios incorporated in 
the Group’s ECL models. We compared the Group’s forecast GDP, unemployment rates, CPI and property price indices to relevant publicly 
available macro-economic information, and considered other known variables and information obtained through our other audit procedures to 
identify contradictory indicators; 
 Testing the implementation of the Group’s SICR methodology by re-performing the staging calculation for a sample of loans taking into 
consideration movements in the CCR from loan origination CCR and comparing our expectation to actual staging applied on an individual 
account level in the Group’s ECL model; and 
 Assessing the accuracy of the data used in the ECL models by confirming a sample of data fields such as account balance and CCR to relevant 
source systems. 
We challenged key assumptions in the components of the Group’s post-model adjustments to the ECL allowance balance. This included: 
 Assessing the requirement for additional allowances considering the Group’s ECL model and data deficiencies identified by the Group’s ECL 
model validation processes, particularly in light of the extreme volatility in economic scenarios caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic and 
government responses; 
 Evaluating underlying data used in concentration risk and economic cycle allowances by comparing underlying loan portfolio characteristics to 
recent loss experience, current market conditions and specific risks in the Group’s loan portfolios;   
 Assessing the impacts on the modelled ECL and the requirement for out of model adjustments to account for the portion of customers on loan 
deferral packages that are not aged. We also assessed assumptions used to determine whether a SICR event has occurred; and 
 Assessing the completeness of additional allowance overlays by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the loan portfolios against the 
Group’s assessment. 
We assessed the appropriateness of the Group’s disclosures in the financial report using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the 
requirements of the accounting standard. 
SUBJECTIVE AND COMPLEX VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS HELD AT FAIR VALUE: 
- FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 3 ASSET POSITIONS $1,183m                  
- FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 2 ASSET POSITIONS $145,559m   
- FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 3 LIABILITY POSITIONS $55m 
- FAIR VALUE OF LEVEL 2 LIABILITY POSITIONS $138,786m   
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures of fair values in Note 17 to the Financial Report. 
The Key Audit Matter 
The fair value of the Group’s Level 2 and 3 financial instruments is determined by the Group through the application of valuation techniques which 
often involve the exercise of judgement and the use of assumptions and estimates.   
The valuation of Level 3 and level 2 financial instruments held at fair value is considered a Key Audit Matter due to: 
 The high degree of estimation uncertainty and potentially significant range of reasonable outcomes associated with the valuation of financial 
instruments classified as Level 3 where significant pricing inputs used in the valuation methodology and models are not observable; and  
 The complexity associated with the valuation methodology and models of certain more complex Level 2 financial instruments leading to an 
increase in subjectivity and estimation uncertainty. Level 2 financial instruments represented 53% of the Group’s financial assets carried at fair 
value and 97% of the Group’s financial liabilities carried at fair value.  
Level 3 financial instruments represented 0.4% of the Group’s financial assets carried at fair value and 0.04% of the Group’s financial liabilities carried 
at fair value. This population is made up of: 
 Investment securities at fair value through other comprehensive income; 
 Derivative assets and liabilities; and 
 Net loans and advances.

misstatement arising from significant judgements over valuation either due to unobservable inputs or complex models. 
 We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating specifically to these financial instruments, including: 
 
 
 
 
 
Controls in relation to Independent Price Verification (IPV), including completeness of portfolios and valuation inputs subject to IPV;  
Controls in relation to model validation at inception and periodically, including assessment of model limitation and assumptions; 
Controls in relation to the review and challenge of daily profit and loss (P&L) by a control function; 
Controls over the collateral management process, including review of margin reconciliations with clearing houses; and  
Controls over fair value adjustments (FVAs), including exit price and portfolio level adjustments. 
 With the assistance of KPMG valuation experts, we independently re-valued a selection of financial instruments and FVAs. This involved sourcing 
independent inputs from markets data providers or external sources and using our own valuation models. We challenged the Group where our 
revaluations significantly differed from the Group’s. 
 In relation to the subjective valuation of Level 3 Investment Securities, with our valuation specialists, we: 
 
 
Assessed the reasonableness of key inputs and assumptions using comparable data in the market and available alternatives; and 
Compared the Group’s valuation methodology to industry practice and the criteria in the accounting standards. 
 We assessed the Group’s financial statements disclosures, including key judgements and assumptions using our understanding obtained from our 
testing and against the relevant accounting standard requirements. 
CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL ($3,264m) 
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Notes 20 to the Financial Report. 
The Key Audit Matter 
Carrying value of goodwill is a key audit matter as: 
 The Group’s net assets exceeded its market capitalisation at year-end. This increased the potential for impairment and our audit effort in this area. 
 We focussed on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Group applied in their value in use (VIU) and fair value less costs of disposal 
(FVLCOD) models, including: 
  Growth rates, and terminal growth rates in the VIU model, and future maintainable earnings and price earnings multiples applied in the 
FVLCOD model. The Group’s models are highly sensitive to small changes in these assumptions, reducing available headroom or indicating 
possible impairment.  This drives additional audit effort specific to their feasibility and consistency of application to the Group’s strategy; and 
  Discount rates in the VIU model and the control premium in the FVLCOD. These are complicated in nature and vary according to the 
conditions and environment the specific Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is subject to from time to time. 
 Significant judgement was required by the Group as a result of the current COVID-19 environment. COVID-19 has caused significant estimation 
uncertainty and as a result there is increased judgement in forecasting cash flows and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models and 
future maintainable earnings and market multiples used in its fair value calculations. These conditions and the uncertainty of their continuation 
increase the possibility of goodwill being impaired, plus the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a significantly wider range of possible outcomes, for us 
to consider. 
 The Group recorded an impairment charge of $50m against goodwill in the Pacific CGU further increasing our audit effort in this key audit area. 
 We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior team members in assessing this key audit matter. 
How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included: 
 We considered the appropriateness of the valuation method (value in use or fair value less costs of disposal) applied by the Group to perform their 
annual test for impairment against the requirements of the accounting standards; 
 We assessed the integrity of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal models used, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation 
formulas; 
 We assessed the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the models; 
 We assessed the Group’s key assumptions used in the fair value less costs of disposal model, such as, future maintainable earnings, the control 
premium and compared the implied multiples from comparable market transactions to the implied multiple used in the model;

CARRYING VALUE OF INVESTMENT IN ASIAN ASSOCIATES ($2,140M) 
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Notes 26 to the Financial Report. 
The Key Audit Matter 
Carrying value of investment in Asian associates (PT Panin and AmBank) is a key audit matter as: 
 The Group’s impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group’s associate investments (PT Panin and AmBank) had 
indicators of impairment.  
 Significant judgement was required by the Group as a result of the business disruption and economic impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, raising 
estimation uncertainty. These conditions and the uncertainty of their continuation increase the possibility of the associates being impaired, plus 
the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a significantly wider range of possible outcomes in the cash flow models.  
 Our evaluation of potential impairment involves critically evaluating the Group’s judgement in relation to the Group’s Asian associates key 
forward-looking assumptions. Instances where the Group’s judgement is evaluated include: 
  Forecast earnings and terminal growth rates – The Group’s models are highly sensitive to small changes in these assumptions, reducing 
available headroom or indicating possible impairment.  This drives additional audit effort specific to their feasibility and consistency of 
application to the Group’s strategy; and 
  Discount rates – These are complicated in nature and vary according to the conditions and environment the specific associate investments  
operate in. 
 The Group recorded impairment charges in relation to the investment in Ambank of $595m and PT Panin of $220m further increasing our audit 
effort in this key audit area. 
 We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior team members in assessing this key audit matter. 
How the matter was addressed in our audit 
Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included:

PROVISIONS FOR CUSTOMER REMEDIATION ($1,109m) 
Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Notes 21 and 33 to the Financial Report. 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Independent auditor's report (continued)
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 number of investigations, the quantum of amounts involved, 
and 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 and controls for identifying and assessing the potential impact of the investigations into 
customer remediation activities; 
 The Group’s impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group’s associate investments (PT Panin and AmBank) had 
 The Group’s impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group’s associate investments (PT Panin and AmBank) had 
 Enquiring with the Group regarding ongoing legal, regulatory and other investigation into remediation activities; 
 Conducting independent discussions on significant matters with external legal counsel; 
 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; 
 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; 
 Testing completeness by evaluating where exposures may have arisen based upon our knowledge and experience of broader industry matters, 
the Group's documentation and the current regulatory environment. We also checked the features of these exposures against the criteria defining 
a provision or a contingency in the accounting standards; 
 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 using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of Australian Accounting 
Standards.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS (continued) 
IT SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS 
The Key Audit Matter 
As a major Australian bank, the Group’s businesses utilise many 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 as our audit approach could 
significantly differ depending on the effective operation of the Group’s IT controls. We work with our KPMG IT specialists as a core part of our audit 
team. 
How the matter was addressed in our audit 
We tested the technology 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 which link the technology-enabled business processes. Our 
further audit procedures included: 
 Assessing the governance and higher-level controls across the IT Environment, including those regarding Group policy design, review and 
awareness, and IT Risk Management practices;  
 Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls across the User Access Management Lifecycle, including how users are on-boarded, 
reviewed, and removed on a timely basis from critical IT applications and supporting infrastructure. We also examined how privileged roles and 
functions are managed across each IT Application and the supporting infrastructure;  
 Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls to enable Change Management including how changes are initiated, documented, 
approved, tested and authorised prior to migration into the production environment of critical IT Applications. We assessed the appropriateness 
of users with access to release changes to IT application production environments across the Group;  
 Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls used by the Group’s technology teams to schedule system jobs and monitor system 
integrity;  
 Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls related to significant IT application programs delivered per the ANZ Delivery Framework; 
 Design and operating effectiveness testing of automated business process controls including those relating to enforcing segregation of duties to 
avoid conflicts from inappropriate role combinations within IT applications. We tested: 
  Configurations in place to perform calculations, mappings and flagging of financial transactions, and automated reconciliation controls (both 
between systems and intra-system); and 
  Data integrity of critical system reporting used by us in our audit to select samples and analyse data used by management to generate 
financial reporting.
