For over 50 years, Auswide Bank has been providing an extensive range 
of  personal  and  business  banking  products  and  services  to  our  valued 
customers. Auswide Bank isn’t a big bank and we don’t want to be like one.

We believe it’s the small things that reveal who each of us are. Small is 
real. Small is sincere. It’s the smile on a familiar face and knowing how 
hard you’ve worked to get ahead. Small is fi nding your voice and meaning 
what you say.

At Auswide Bank, we’re here to help our customers fi nd that voice, to tell 
their  story  and  at  last  be  heard.  We  want  our  customers  to  discover  a 
whole new way to engage with a bank.

PURPOSE

Identify your purpose 
and be passionate 
about it

Our Mission is to 
demonstrate the 
‘power of small’ by 
placing our customers 
at the centre of 
everything we do.

Our Vision is to be the Bank 
that our customers and 
partners want their friends, 
family and colleagues to 
bank with.

At Auswide Bank we are very conscious of our impact on the environment and are increasingly aware of our community’s 
changing attitudes, expectations and our need to set an example to other businesses.

As a responsible corporate citizen, we have a responsibility to our customers, our community and to the world to reduce our 
own environmental impact and be transparent about our environmental approaches and performance. 

We also understand that any increase in natural disasters and negative environmental impacts from climate change, will impact 
the well-being and livelihood of our customers.   

For shareholders there is the additional risk that our loans portfolio will be at heightened risk if major natural disasters occur 
damaging security properties or our customers place of work, impacting on their ability to meet loan repayments.  Increased 
likelihood of disasters such as fl ood or fi re in vulnerable locations also means the additional cost of risk measures such as 
insurance for the bank and our customers as well as reducing opportunity for consumers as we seek to manage these risks.  We 
have a range of policies that assist in mitigating risk in high disaster prone areas.

Ways in which Auswide Bank is proactively reducing waste and reducing our envrionmental footprint include;  

•  Implementing ways to recycle paper generated internally e.g. document shredding and secure document destruction

•   Promoting electronic options as an alternative to paper for customers, shareholders, suppliers and partners 

•   Utilising energy effi  cient LED lighting at all new and refurbished branches.

•   Switching off  air-conditioning, lighting and electrical appliances when not in use. 

•  Recycling of obsolete items including phone handsets, mobile phones, batteries and computer equipment.  

•   Recycling of printer, fax and photocopier cartridges through Cartridges 4 Planet Arc.

•  Encouraging our people to act responsibly and ethically in the workplace in line with our corporate values.

•  Not fi nancing companies engaged principally in the exploration, mining, manufacture or export of thermal coal or coal seam 

gas. We do not intentionally invest directly in companies specialising in these areas 

Case study:

In the 2018-2019, we introduced eStatements via our Internet Banking platform to reduce customer’s reliance on paper 
statements.  This initiative was supported with extensive marketing focus urging customers to switch across and has already 
resulted in over 5000 customers making the switch, in turn eliminating tens of thousands of paper statements across thousands 
of accounts.

In the 2018/19 fi nancial year, 
we successfully delivered on our 
commitment to grow the loan book 
responsibly and shift our funding 
mix to customer deposits.  

Underlying NPAT for the consolidated group was $17.201 
million representing a 0.5 per cent increase on underlying 
NPAT of $17.108 million in the prior year. The underlying NPAT 
for the 2018/19 fi nancial year was the same as the statutory 
NPAT as there were no adjustments for one-off  or non-
recurring items. 

Auswide reports statutory net profi t after tax (NPAT) of 
$17.201 million for the 2018/19 fi nancial year. This was a 
3.8 per cent decline on the previous year which refl ected the 
sale of a controlling equity stake in MoneyPlace in January 
2018. The sale had a one-off  positive impact on the 2017/18 
fi nancial results with a NPAT contribution of $1.227 million.

The Board declared a fully franked fi nal dividend of 18.5 cents 
per share, payable on 20 September 2019, which was a 0.5 
cents per share increase on the previous year. Total dividends 
of 34.5 cents per share represented a payout ratio of 84.6 
per cent and a dividend yield of 6.7 per cent. Given Auswide’s 
capital strength, the Board has maintained the suspension of 
the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for the fi nal dividend. Once 
again, total dividends were higher than the previous year 
highlighting ongoing improvement in dividend returns to 
shareholders.

Net Interest Revenue increased by 3.5 per cent to $63.185 
million compared to $61.020 million in the previous fi nancial 
year due to loan book growth and the optimisation of the 
funding mix. 

Net Interest Margin for the 2018/19 fi nancial year was 1.87 
per cent compared to 1.93 per cent in the previous year. 
This was a credible performance with our net interest margin 
impacted by historically low interest rates, competitive 
housing fi nance markets and elevated Bank Bill Swap Rates 
which increased wholesale funding costs for much of the year. 
Despite these challenges, our net interest margin stabilised 
through the second half, to exit the 2018/19 fi nancial year at 
1.94 per cent due to material improvements in our funding mix 
and a reduction in Bank Bill Swap Rates.

The Bank’s underlying cost to income ratio was 64.5 per 
cent compared to 63.3 per cent in the prior year refl ecting 
investment in customer service and technology. As part of 
this, the roll out of APPLY online origination remains on track, 
and our ongoing investment in data analytics and business 
intelligence is showing some good results.  

Loan book growth accelerated in the June half due to 
competitive pricing, broker relationships, reputational damage 
of the big banks and ongoing investment in customer service 
and technology. Despite a highly competitive lending market, 
this increase was almost twice system growth of 3.3 per

Our investment in IT, product innovation and customer service were 
integral to realising the growth we achieved.

The Bank has retained a strong capital position with a capital 
adequacy ratio of 13.79 per cent and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 
11.76 per cent at 30 June 2019. We continue to meet APRA’s 
“unquestionably strong” capital requirements with a capital 
position that provides signifi cant headroom for growth and is 
one of the best in the Australian banking sector. 

In the 2018/19 fi nancial year, we also undertook our largest 
ever brand awareness campaign through our partnership with 
the Queensland Rugby League (QRL). As the offi  cial bank of 
the Queensland Maroons, Auswide had front of jersey rights 
during the 2019 State of Origin series which attracted more 
than nine million viewers nationwide. Given the Auswide brand 
is only four years old, our objective is to raise brand awareness 
across Queensland and NSW. Post the series, initial studies 
show an increase in brand awareness while we have received 
positive feedback from customers and our broker network and 
a signifi cant increase in traffi  c to our website. 

....our objective is to raise brand 
awareness across Queensland and NSW. 

cent. Loan book growth accelerated in the June half due 
to competitive pricing, broker relationships and ongoing 
investment in customer service and technology.

The housing and consumer portfolios recorded strong growth. 
Home loan settlements rose 13.3 per cent to $616.036 million 
and consumer lending increased to $62.312 million at 30 June 
2019 from $43.524 million a year earlier. From a geographic 
perspective, South East Queensland delivered the largest 
contribution to loan book growth and now represents 39.3 
per cent of the total loan book. The diversifi cation of our loan 
book continued with 24.0 per cent of the lending portfolio 
now outside Queensland, with New South Wales experiencing 
an increase from 10.7 per cent to 11.5 per cent of the book 
across the year.

A strategic priority for the 2018/19 fi nancial year was to 
optimise our funding mix by growing customer deposits and 
reducing our reliance on securitisation. Despite an extremely 
competitive market, customer deposits increased by 12.6 
per cent to $2.373 billion dollars highlighting the positive 
reception our term and at call deposit products received in the 
marketplace. At call deposits grew by 17.0 per cent during 
the fi nancial year to $880.811 million. Since the 2015/16 
fi nancial year, deposits have grown from 66.8 per cent to 71.4 
per cent of our funding while our reliance on securitisation has 
declined from 22.0 per cent to 14.8 per cent. Going forward, 
the change in our funding mix will enable us to 
better control our net interest margin.

Our commitment to lending discipline and 
responsible loan book growth is highlighted 
by our arrears which are at historical lows, 
representing 0.46 per cent of the total loan 
book at 30 June 2019. The majority of our home 
loan book is mature and remains well secured with home loan 
arrears signifi cantly below our peers. The sound credit quality 
of Auswide’s home lending portfolio is further shown by our 
conservative loan to valuation ratio with 73.8 per cent of the 
loan book having a loan to valuation ratio of 80.0 per cent or 
less. 

We continue to manage risk well with prudent loan 
underwriting standards and sound controls that enable us to 
grow the loan book while maintaining a solid arrears position. 
The implementation of the new AASB 9 accounting standard 
in July 2018 further strengthens the provisions set aside for 
bad and doubtful debts. The Board is satisfi ed that existing 
provisions cover the risks relating to current and future 
doubtful debts.

messaging and enhanced customer service...

government investment occurring in Rockhampton, Mackay, 
Bundaberg and Townsville. 

Our three-year strategy which targets a cost to income ratio 
of 60 per cent, a return on net tangible assets of 10 per 
cent in the short to medium term, above system loan growth 
across home, personal and business lending and a stable net 
interest margin provides a roadmap for the business. Growth 
opportunities will also come from the ongoing reputation 
challenges, regulatory capital increases, remediation and 
greater regulatory focus on the big four banks. Going forward, 
we will continue to focus on disciplined cost management, 
expanding our digital footprint and enhancing our value 
proposition to our customers and our brokers.  

We would like to thank the Auswide team for their hard 
work and dedication and the Board for its ongoing support 
and counsel. Most importantly, we would like to thank our 
customers and shareholders for continuing to believe in the 
‘power of small’. 

John Humphrey

Martin Barrett  
Managing Director

We have a number of priorities for the 2019/20 fi nancial year. 
It will mark the fi rst year of a three-year strategic plan which 
broadly focuses on building brand awareness and partnerships 
and improving technology and effi  ciency across the business. 

We will continue to build the Auswide brand through consistent 
messaging and enhanced customer service. Our partnership 
with the QRL is an important part of this journey as we 
leverage its membership base to drive loan fl ows and new 
Customer Hub acquisition. At the same time, we will develop 
partnerships that support retail and business banking growth 
across our platforms and through member and community-
based organisations to drive low cost growth.

Improving the customer experience remains a priority as 
investment in technology and our Customer Hub will enable us 
to maximise the service we provide to our growing South-East 
Queensland and interstate customer base. A better customer 
experience and more effi  cient digital capabilities will also help 
us lower our cost to income ratio and increase our return on 
net tangible assets. 

We are focused on automating our processes and simplifying 
our products to provide faster turnaround times, allowing us 
to maximise returns and capitalise on the opportunities ahead. 
This also means strengthening the Bank through enhancing 
staff  capabilities, cyber risk resilience, which is critical today, 
and our ability to detect fraud while reducing errors and 
further developing our risk audit processes.

The regulatory environment continues to evolve with APRA 
progressing changes to the capital framework to ensure ADIs 
remain on track to meet the “unquestionably strong” capital 
ratio benchmarks. Auswide’s capital ratio of 13.79 per cent 
means we are already well ahead of the new benchmarks. 
From a responsible lending perspective, we continue to 
operate prudently, continually reviewing our lending practises 
to ensure that we meet regulatory, and our own requirements.  

Recent industry events have highlighted the importance of not 
just having a healthy balance sheet, but strong governance, 
a sound culture and appropriate internal controls and clear 
accountabilities.  We believe the culture of Auswide Bank 
remains sound and we have been focusing on ensuring that 
we meet all our governance and regulatory compliance 
requirements. Finally, the so-called “uneven playing fi eld” 
between the big banks and the rest is levelling as APRA 
implements a range of capital and other programs of work.

Economic activity continues to improve in regional 
Queensland.  There has been greater certainty since the 
Federal Election with several large projects and signifi cant

...Auswide Bank has been on a journey to improve brand 
awareness and consideration...

Since converting to a bank and re-branding in April 2015, Auswide Bank has been on a journey to improve brand awareness and 
consideration.

We believe investment in our brand is crucial to our long term business success as it is one of the few diff erentiating factors that 
remains principally within our control. We also recognise that our brand is a key intangible part of company value.  

To extend our brand and improve our brand visibility, particularly in the Queensland market, we considered  that aligning with a 
Queensland iconic brand which has national recognition and substantial support within our key markets, would be a signifi cant step 
forward.  

Rugby League is the number one sport by participation and support base in Queensland - with approximately 62,000 registered 
players, 420 registered clubs, a growing female participation and an audience of over 10 million State of Origin television viewers. 

In September 2018, we established a 3 year Partnership Agreement with Queensland Rugby League which sees the Auswide Bank 
brand represented on the front of jersey for the Queensland Maroons team.  

The Maroons are an exalted brand in Queensland and for a 3 month period they dominate the Queensland sport media and rally 
Queenslanders like no other club, brand or business.   With games in New South Wales and other States by rotation there is also 
considerable national exposure.

9.537m

viewers watched the 2019 State of Origin
series. Games I, II & III were the three
most watched programs to date in 2019.

827,820

households exposed to the Auswide Bank 
Brand during 2019 State of Origin Game 1.

P|14    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Importantly our strategic partnership also incorporates the support of ‘grassroots; rugby league  in our heartland regions of coastal 
Queensland and south east Queensland with Naming Rights of the Mal Meninga Cup under 18’s competition and representative side. 

In the fi rst half of 2019 we launched Auswide Bank as the ‘Offi  cial Bank of the Queensland Maroons’ - activating at Mal Meninga Cup 
games across Queensland, at each State of Origin game and at a series of associated events. These provided us with the opportunity to 
build brand awareness and create relationships.  

Our marketing plan called out targets in regard to brand metrics following the State of Origin series and we are pleased to see a lift 
across Queensland and core markets.  We commissioned an independent brand awareness survey of individuals aged over 18 years 
across Queensland. Across the state, brand awareness has increased by 31.23% from 2018. It was also up by 33.85% across South 
East Queensland and up 14.63% in our core regional market .  An estimated 827,820 households were exposed to the Auswide Bank 
brand during 2019 State of Origin Game I.     

As a major investment, apart from our brand goals, we also recognised the needs to return value for shareholders from our partnership 
with Queensland Rugby League.   

While a continuing uplift in brand recognition across our markets over the next few years will support these goals, with 200,000 
supporters seeking fi nance (Queensland Rugby League 2019 State of Origin Media Report conducted by The Nielsen Company - August 
2019) there is a direct opportunity.   We are already taking steps to capitalise on this opportunity and in year two and three of our 
Partnership, we will increasingly seek to leverage off  our relationship with Queensland Rugby League to grow our customer base.

Loyalty and advocacy built on strong 
customer relationships is critical... 

Auswide Bank has always had a reputation for customer 
service, however in 2016, as part of the 2016-2018 Strategic 
Plan, we consciously lifted our focus on the customer to a 
new level with the appointment of a Chief Customer Offi  cer 
and Head of Customer Operations, a signifi cant structural  
reorganisation, and the planning and deployment of a number 
of key customer focussed initiatives.

While this shift mirrors a similar change across fi nancial 
services, Auswide Bank is not just following an industry 
trend.  We believe it represents a signifi cant value creation 
opportunity.

A positive customer experience creates value by promoting 
customer loyalty and advocacy.  On the other hand a negative 
customer experience results in a loss of value both directly 
and through detraction.  To us, even a mundane experience 
simply means a loss of opportunity.  

Loyalty and advocacy built on strong customer relationships is 
critical in a competitive marketplace permeated by a reduction 
in diff erentiation and, importantly from a shareholder’s 
perspective where cost management is critical, can help 
reduce marketing costs.

Our new 2019-2022 Strategic Plan targets our continued 
development of three business origination channels: face to 
face through our branches; digitally and over the phone via 
online origination and our Australian-based Customer Hub; 
and via mutually benefi cial partnerships which includes broker 
and referrer relationships and ‘white label’ opportunities.

Customers originating in each of these channels have 
unique characteristics and needs and it is essential that we 
understand and respond to these diff erent relationships in our 
delivery of customer experience.

In 2018-2019, we built on our customer-focussed 
foundations with further reinvention, innovation and 
deployment  of initiatives designed to support continuous 
improvement and transformation and improve our customer 
experience.  

Further restructuring of customer team roles with 
the appointment of a General Manager of Customer 
Experience, a Strategic Partnerships Manager and 
consolidation of several business functions as our 
Customer Experience team.

Restructuring of our contact centre which is now 
our Customer Hub under a new General Manager – 
Customer Hub & Digital Bank.

Auswide Bank continues to deliver technological and digital 
enhancements to improve our customer experiences, support our 
drive to effi  ciency and manage our risks.  

This year our strategic aim of creating a competitive digital bank and 
Customer Hub took a major leap forward with our investment in a 
new call centre platform and online origination of personal loans.  In 
2019-2020 this will be complimented by online origination of term 
deposits, transaction and savings accounts.  Our Customer Hub 
supports these online origination processes and will become a centre 
of capability that supports customers seeking digital engagement 
and which contribute to our revenue streams. 

We have also rolled out several internet banking and mobile banking 
app upgrades during the year with a further release of an enhanced 
mobile app targeted for quarter one 2019-2020 which includes 
facial and fi ngerprint recognition and authentication. 

In the current climate and in line with our target to reduce costs 
we have sought to deliver on IT projects that create additional 
effi  ciencies. Some of these include rollout of eStatements via internet 
banking reducing paper and mailing costs; the increased automation 
and third party integration of loan origination; and a raft of product 
improvements and rationalisations stemming from our product 
simplifi cation project. 

We have also focused on projects to help us comply with our 
regulatory, industry, and payment scheme obligations. In an 
increasingly online and digital world, it is essential that fi nancial 
institutions such as Auswide Bank strive to protect our customers 
and help our customers protect themselves. Some of the projects 
delivered in 2018-2019 that support this objective include new fraud 
detection and prevention capabilities and cyber security initiatives.  

Apart from the initiatives already listed above, in the year ahead we 
will deliver a core banking system upgrade to the latest version and 
features. We will also target real time payments for our customers 
now that many of the fraud and other risks are better understood by 
the industry.  Finally we will be exploring Open Banking to leverage 
off  opportunities from the new fi nancial model that allows us to 
better connect to the banking ecosystem and participate in data 
sharing.    

AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019    P|23

Auswide Bank has a comprehensive risk and compliance 
management program to actively identify and eliminate risk where 
possible, and mitigate and minimise the impact of those risks that 
cannot be eliminated. Continuing to strengthen our risk management 
approach is an important element of the Company’s Strategic Plan 
and a high priority for the Board and management team. 

Since 2013, changes to the bank’s business strategy and risk appetite have resulted in a simpler business model and more 
conservative underwriting actively reducing its mortgages with higher risk profi les, such as mortgages with interest-only features 
and mortgages with high LVR (loan-to-valuation ratios). 

Auswide Bank is well placed to manage the risks associated with these loan product concentrations which are managed in line 
with established risk appetite settings. 

We have a strong-values based culture that encourages the highest standards of openness, integrity, honest and accountability. 
We encourage an open culture in our dealings between our managers, employees and all people with whom we engage in the 
course of business.

Our people have a strong inclination to take responsibility for risk management across each business unit, and this culture 
underpins our Strategic Plan. 

The key features of how we manage risk as part of our Risk Management Framework include:

•  ‘Three Lines of Defence’ risk management model with Risk management accountabilities allocated for risk ownership (fi rst line), 

functional oversight (second line) and assurance third line).  

Line 1 – 
Business 
Units

Line 2 – 
Risk and 
Compliance 
Management

Business units identify, assess, control and mitigate risks through internal policies and corrective actions 
to address process and control defi ciencies.

Risk and Compliance Management maintains a risk management framework, measures risk exposures 
to support decision making, and provides risk management support, supervision and expertise to the 
business. They report to the Board and leadership team and make credit risk decisions under approved 
delegations and loan portfolio management.

Line 3 – Audit 
Management

An independent internal audit function, outsourced to PricewaterhouseCoopers, ensures the Bank has 
industry leading capabilities to review internal controls, risk management processes and governance 
systems. 

•  Incident management to increase our ability to identify, manage, report and remediate (if required) any incidents in a timely 

manner.

•  Whistle-blower Protection policy allowing employees to make confi dential, anonymous submissions regarding misconduct or 

dishonest or illegal activity that has occurred

•  Strong Board oversight of the risk profi le and risk management of the bank with reference to the Board determined risk appetite.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

Review and results of operations

The underlying net profi t after tax (NPAT) for the consolidated entity for fi nancial year 2018/19 was $17.201m compared to 
$17.108m for 2017/18. This represents an increase of 0.5%.

The statutory consolidated NPAT for the 2018/19 fi nancial year was $17.201m compared to the result of $17.886m for the 
2017/18 year.

The loan book of Auswide Bank Ltd (grossed up for Investments in Managed Investment Schemes reported in Other fi nancial 
assets in the Statement of Financial Position) increased from $2.945b at 30 June 2018 to $3.131b at 30 June 2019, an 
increase of $186m. This represents growth of 6.3% for the 2018/19 fi nancial year. The loan book growth of 6.3% compares 
favourably with the Reserve Bank of Australia data which discloses credit provided to the private sector increased by 3.3% 
over the 12 months to June 2019.

Consumer lending

The consumer lending portfolio increased from $43.524m at 30 June 2018 to $62.312m at 30 June 2019, an increase of 
$18.788m. The growth in consumer lending has contributed signifi cantly to the operating results of the Company with net 
interest revenue of approximately $3.306m derived from the portfolio in the fi nancial year.

Customers 

Auswide Bank is undertaking a review of the Broker home lending business to examine and improve:

•  the customer proposition - product, pricing and brand;

•  end to end process and operations;

•  credit process and risk settings;

•  supporting systems and documentation; and

•  sales force eff ectiveness.

The key objectives include improving both the customer and the broker experience and to become known as the bank who is 
consistent and simple to do business with.

Digital branch and automation

Auswide Bank recognises that customers are moving to online services which provide speed, ease of use and the accessibility 
of services. The strategic goal is to create an end-to-end digital banking experience and the bank has initiated projects to 
deliver online application capabilities.

APPLY - Personal Loans, which provides the ability for single applicants to apply for a personal loan via Auswide Bank’s 
website, went live in February 2019. APPLY will also facilitate the opening of term deposits, savings and transaction accounts 
via Online Banking and is expected to be released in H1 of FY2020.

Nintex Promapp is an online repository which simplifi es process management and provides real-time feedback and 
collaboration. This project was delivered in September 2018. Nintex provides powerful, easy to use workfl ow automation 
capabilities to allow staff  to quickly and easily manage, automate and optimize its business processes.

Principal activities and signifi cant changes

Auswide Bank Ltd is an approved deposit-taking institution and licensed credit and fi nancial services provider. Auswide Bank 
provides deposit, credit, insurance and banking services to personal and business customers across Australia, principally in 
regional and metropolitan Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne.

Strategic plan

A new three year strategic plan was adopted by the Board in March 2019. The six pillars of the strategic plan are as follows:

•  building awareness and consideration via consistent messaging, customer service and leveraging the QRL sponsorship to 

drive customer acquisition;

•  establishing partnerships that support growth in retail and business banking platforms, member based and community 

organisations;

•  improving customer experience through digital implementation and the Customer Hub to increase product conversion rates 

and lower the cost to income ratio;

•  improving effi  ciencies through automation and simplifi cation with focus on back offi  ce, fi nance, credit and broker service;

•  strengthening the bank via enhanced staff  capabilities, risk audit processes, capital and funding strength, as well as cyber 

risk and fraud detection capability; and

•  reviewing M&A, Fintech and partnering opportunities.

P|32    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Branch network

The Company has a diversifi ed branch network consisting of 21 branches and agencies across Queensland, and a business 
centre in Brisbane. The Company also employs Business Development Managers in Sydney and Melbourne to conduct 
interstate business. All regional loan staff  and panel valuers are locally based ensuring an in-depth knowledge of the local 
economy and developments in the real estate market.

There is focus on ensuring future investments are aligned with growth opportunities and strategic initiatives, ensuring a 
consistent review of historical investments including branches.

Technology

Investment in technology continues with focus on improved security and fraud protection as well as enhanced customer 
experience. The key technology strategies include:

•  investment in the customer experience by updating the Customer Hub platform;

•  cyber security programs to maintain a strong security posture in a changing cyber landscape;

•  core system updates to the latest version and features of Ultracs;

•  improved digital channel capability across self-service account origination; and

•  approved Lending Platform updates to increase automation and 3rd party integration.

Net Interest Margin

The Net Interest Margin (NIM) has been impacted by interest rates at historic lows and the continuance of highly competitive 
housing fi nance markets across the 2018/19 fi nancial year, in addition to elevated funding markets in the fi rst three quarters 
of the fi nancial year. In order to maintain stability in the NIM, the bank closely monitors the competitive pricing of products and 
continues to proactively manage assets and liabilities.

The net interest margin for the 2018/19 year was 1.87% compared to 1.93% in the 2017/18 fi nancial year.

Arrears and collections

Total arrears greater than 30 days past due (excluding the eff ects of hardship accounts) increased from $14.058m to 
$14.302m. Arrears have decreased as a percentage of the Group’s total loan book from 0.48% at 30 June 2018 to 0.46% at 
30 June 2019.

The Board is satisfi ed that the provisions set aside cover the risks arising from current and future doubtful debts.

Risk

Auswide Bank takes a proactive approach to risk management, which can be demonstrated by the bank’s adoption of 
methodologies to curtail excessive exposures to risky product markets.

The early introduction of Investor, High LVR and Interest Only lending initiatives together with continued review of underwriting 
and serviceability assessments ensured that Auswide Bank was well placed to manage the risks associated with its lending 
portfolio together with regulatory requirements.

The Board Risk Committee provides strong oversight of the risk framework across the organisation. The Board remains 
focused on the portfolio quality as the loan book grows and this is highlighted by the continuing positive trend in relation to 
loan arrears.

Acquisitions

The Board will continue to monitor opportunities to acquire loan books or suitable institutions as they arise and the Board will 
review any off ers made which may complement the overall operations of the Group.

Matters subsequent to the end of the fi nancial year

There has been no other matter or circumstance since the end of the fi nancial year that will signifi cantly aff ect the results of 
operations in future years or the state of aff airs of the Company.

Capital

The capital adequacy ratio for the Auswide Bank Group at 30 June 2019 was 13.79% (2018: 14.89%). The tier 1 capital ratio 
at 30 June 2019 was 11.76% (2018: 12.68%).

The Group’s strong capital position allows for continued growth with signifi cant capital headroom.

Dividends

Remuneration report

The Board Remuneration Committee consists of independent Directors Mr Barry Dangerfi eld, Mr Greg Kenny and Ms Sandra 
Birkensleigh. Mr Barry Dangerfi eld is Chairman of the Committee.

The objective of the Board Remuneration Policy is to maintain behaviour that supports the sustained fi nancial performance 
and security of Auswide Bank Ltd and to reward eff orts which increase shareholder and customer value. This objective is 
upheld by:

•  appropriately balanced measures of performance weighted towards long-term shareholder interests;

•  variable performance based pay for the Executive Management Team involving a long-term incentive plan subject to an 

extended period of performance assessment;

•  recognition and reward for strong performance;

•  a considered balance between the capacity to pay and the need to pay to attract and retain capable staff  at all levels;

•  the exercise of Board discretion as an ultimate means to mitigate unintended consequences of variable pay and to preserve 

the interests of the shareholders; and

•  short-term and long-term incentive performance criteria are structured within the overall risk management framework of the 

Company.

Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors

The fees payable for Non-Executive Directors are determined with reference to industry standards, the size of the Company, 
performance and profi tability. The Directors’ fees are approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in the 
aggregate and the individual allocation is approved by the Board. The Company’s Non-Executive Directors receive only fees 
(including superannuation) for their services. They are not entitled to receive any benefi t on retirement or resignation (other 
than superannuation) and do not participate in any share based remuneration.

Remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives

Remuneration of the Managing Director for 2018/19 was subject to review and recommendation of the Remuneration 
Committee and ratifi cation by the Board. Remuneration of the Executive Management Team for 2018/19 was subject to 
ratifi cation by the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Policy for executives uses a range of components to focus the 
Managing Director and the Executive Management Team toward achieving Auswide Bank’s strategy and business objectives. 
Auswide Bank’s overall philosophy is to adopt, where possible, a Total Target Reward methodology which links remuneration 
directly to the performance and behaviour of an individual with Auswide Bank’s results.

The Total Target Reward framework is designed to:

•  reward those who deliver the highest relative performance through the Company’s incentive programs;

•  attract, recognise, motivate and retain high performers;

•  provide competitive, fair and consistent rewards, benefi ts and conditions; and

•  align the interests of senior executives and shareholders through ownership of Company shares.

In setting an individual’s Total Target Reward, the Committee considers:

•  input from the Company’s Managing Director on the Total Target Reward for the Executive Management Team who report 

directly to the Managing Director;

•  market data from comparable roles in the fi nancial services industry;

•  the performance of both the individual and Auswide Bank Ltd over the last year; and

•  general remuneration market environment and trends.

Each individual’s actual remuneration will refl ect:

•  the degree of individual achievement in meeting key performance measures under the performance management 

framework;

•  parameters approved by the Board based on the Company’s fi nancial and risk performance and other qualitative factors;

•  Auswide Bank Ltd’s share price performance and relative shareholder returns; and

•  the timing and level of deferral in relation to any vesting conditions applicable.

Components of the Total Target Reward include:

•  Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR) provided as cash and benefi ts (including employer superannuation and fringe benefi ts);

•  cash based short-term incentives refl ecting both individual and business performance for the current year that supports the 

longer term objectives of Auswide Bank; and

•  equity based long-term incentives provided to drive management decisions focused on the long-term prosperity of Auswide 

Bank through the use of challenging performance hurdles.

P|36    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Short Term Incentives (STI)

Payment of STIs is conditional upon the achievement of key performance measures tailored to the respective role. The 
performance measures and objectives are selected to provide a robust link between executive reward and the key business 
drivers of long term shareholder value. The KPls are measured relating to Company and personal performance accountabilities 
and include fi nancial, strategic, operational and customer/stakeholder measures. These measures are chosen and weighted to 
best align the individual’s reward to the KPls of the Company and its overall performance.

The fi nancial performance objectives are profi t before and after income tax compared to budgeted amounts and management 
of costs in line with divisional organisational budgets. These measures reasonably capture the eff ects of a number of material 
risks and minimise actions that promote short-term results at the expense of longer-term business growth and success.The 
non-fi nancial objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, 
compliance and support of the Company’s risk management policies and compliance culture, customer satisfaction, 
communication and staff  development.

Performance based payments were made to the Executive Management Team under the STI scheme as an incentive payment 
to recognise and reward the achievement of KPI targets relating to the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2018. Cash payments 
were granted on the 20 September 2018, and allocated to the Executive Management Team as follows;

Mr MJ Barrett (Managing Director)

Mr WR Schafer (Chief Financial Offi  cer)

Mr SM Caville (Chief Information Offi  cer)

Mr D Hearne (Chief Customer Offi  cer)

$93,000

$38,089

$19,314

$37,637

$20,199

$20,225

$22,802

The payment of STIs is at the complete discretion of the Board and can be adjusted downwards to zero, if necessary, to 
protect the fi nancial soundness of the Company and taking into account a qualitative overlay that refl ects Auswide Bank’s 
management of business risks, shareholder expectations and quality of the fi nancial results.

Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (ELTIP)

The ELTIP was established by the Board to encourage the Executive Management Team to drive the long-term prosperity of 
Auswide Bank and have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives.

Under the ELTIP an off er may be made to the members of the Executive Management Team every year as determined by 
the Board. The maximum value of the off er is determined as a percentage of the FAR of each member of the Executive 
Management Team. The maximum percentages used are up to 50.0% for the Managing Director and up to 30.0% for 
Executive Managers.

In order for the shares to vest, certain performance criteria must be satisfi ed within a predetermined performance period. 
KPI targets were considered by the Remuneration Committee to be appropriate measures of performance, as they had been 
specifi cally chosen for each executive with the aim of achieving the strategy and business objectives of the Company. The 
KPI targets for the Managing Director were assessed by the Remuneration Committee. The KPI targets for the other senior 
executives were assessed by the Managing Director and then ratifi ed by the Remuneration Committee.

Loans to key management personnel

The following table outlines the aggregate of loans to key management personnel. Details are provided on an individual basis 
for each of the key management personnel whose indebtedness exceeded $100,000 at any time during this reporting period.

Loans have been made in accordance with the normal terms and conditions off ered by the Company and charged at 153 basis 
points below the owner occupied standard variable interest rate or 20 basis points below the standard fi xed rate on applicable 
loan types, available to the general public at any time. Similar rates are, however, available to the general public, therefore this 
interest rate would approximate an arm’s length interest rate off ered by the Company.

Loans are also made in accordance with the Staff  Share Plan approved by shareholders in 1992. The loans are repayable 
over 5 years at 0% interest, with the loans being secured by a lien over the relevant shares. Such loans are only available to 
employees of the Company and there is no applicable arm’s length interest to take into account.

Indemnities and insurance premiums for offi  cers and auditors

During the fi nancial year the Company has paid premiums to cover Directors and offi  cers for losses arising from claims or 
allegations made against them for wrongful acts committed or alleged to have been committed by them in their capacities 
as Directors or offi  cers of the Company. The policy will also reimburse the Company where it is permitted by law to indemnify 
Insured Persons in relation to such claims or allegations. Cover is provided for the costs of defending such claims or 
allegations. During the reporting period and subsequent to 30 June 2019, no amounts have been paid pursuant to the policy.

Non-audit services

During the year, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the Company’s Auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their 
statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the Auditor, and in accordance with advice 
provided by the Board Audit Committee, is satisfi ed that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the 
Auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for 
the following reasons:

•  All non-audit services were subject to the Corporate Governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been 
reviewed by the Board Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the Auditor, and

•  The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in 

APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, 
as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the Auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity 
for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included 
in the Directors’ Statutory Report.

Non-audit services paid to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu are as follows:

1. General information

1.1 

Reporting entity

Auswide Bank Ltd (the Company) is a for-profi t listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
consolidated fi nancial statements of Auswide Bank Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2019 comprises Auswide Bank Ltd and its 
subsidiaries (the Group or the Consolidated Entity).

1.2 

Statement of compliance

The fi nancial statements are general purpose fi nancial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other 
requirements of the law.

The fi nancial statements comply with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

1.3 

Basis of preparation

These fi nancial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, except for land and 
buildings, hedging instruments, fi nancial instruments held at fair value through profi t or loss or other comprehensive income 
that have been measured at fair value.

The accounting policies and methods of computation in the preparation of these fi nancial statements are consistent with 
those adopted and disclosed in the fi nancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, unless otherwise stated.

These fi nancial statements have been prepared in Australian Dollars (AUD) which is the functional and presentation currency 
of the Company.

1.4 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company, being the parent entity and 
entities controlled by the Company.

Control is achieved when the Company:

•  has power over the investee;

•  is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to aff ect its returns.

The Company has power when it has rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that signifi cantly aff ect the 
investee’s returns. The Group not only has to consider its holdings and rights, but also the holdings and rights of other 
shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes. The existence and eff ect 
of potential voting rights where the Group has the practical ability to exercise them is considered when assessing whether 
the Group controls another entity.

The Company reassesses whether it has control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate changes to the 
aforementioned elements have occurred. A list of the controlled entities is provided in Section 5.1.1 - Controlled entities.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Subsidiaries are fully 
consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully 
eliminated on consolidation. When necessary, adjustments are made to the fi nancial statements of subsidiaries to bring their 
accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the consolidated entity are presented as non-
controlling interests. The consolidated entity initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership 
interests in subsidiaries, and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation, at either fair 
value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profi ts or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. 
Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the Statement of Financial Position and 
Statement of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

1.5 

Rounding of amounts 

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) 
Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the 
Directors’ Report and the fi nancial statements are rounded off  to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

P|56    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

1.6 

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Offi  ce. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position 
are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash fl ows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and fi nancing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash fl ows.

1.7 

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 

1.7.1  

Standards and interpretations that are mandatorily eff ective for the current year

New and revised standards and amendments to standards eff ective for the current fi nancial year which have been applied in 
the preparation of these fi nancial statements that are relevant to the Group include:

•  AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9)

•  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (AASB 15)

Other standards

In addition to the above, the Group has applied a number of amendments to AASB Standards and Interpretations issued 
by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are eff ective for periods that begin on or after 1 January 2018. 
Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these fi nancial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

In the current year, the Group has applied AASB 9 (as revised) and the related consequential amendments to other 
Accounting Standards for the fi rst time. AASB 9 introduces new requirements for:

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

the classifi cation and measurement of fi nancial assets and liabilities;

impairment of fi nancial assets; and

general hedge accounting.

The classifi cation and measurement, and impairment requirements are applied retrospectively by adjusting opening retained 
earnings at 1 July 2018. The Group has elected not to restate comparative fi gures on adoption of the new standard.

Details of these new requirements as well as their impact on the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements are described 
below.

Classifi cation and measurement

All recognised fi nancial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be subsequently measured at amortised 
cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the fi nancial assets and the contractual cash fl ow 
characteristics of the fi nancial assets.

Specifi cally:

•  debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash fl ows, and that 
have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost;

•  debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash fl ows and 

to sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); 
and

•  all other debt investments and equity investments are subsequently measured at fair value through profi t or loss (FVTPL).

However, at initial recognition of a fi nancial asset:

•  the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment that is neither held 
for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3 Business 
Combinations applies in other comprehensive income; and

•  the Group may irrevocably designate a debt investment that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at 

FVTPL if doing so eliminates or signifi cantly reduces an accounting mismatch.

Equity instruments designated at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from 
changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve. The 
cumulative gain or loss is not reclassifi ed to profi t or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it is transferred to 
retained earnings. Dividends on investments in equity instruments are recognised in profi t or loss in accordance with AASB 
9.

In the current year, the Group has not designated any debt investments that meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as 
measured at FVTPL.

When a debt investment measured at FVTOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income is reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss as a reclassifi cation adjustment. In contrast, for an equity

1.7 

General information (continued)

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards (continued)

investment designated as measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income is not subsequently reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

Debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI are subject to impairment.

The Directors of the Company reviewed and assessed the Group’s existing fi nancial assets as at 1 July 2018 based on the 
facts and circumstances that existed at that date and concluded that the initial application of AASB 9 has had the following 
impact on the Group’s fi nancial assets in regards to their classifi cation and measurement:

•  the Group’s external Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) investments within fi nancial assets that were 

classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets under AASB 139 have been classifi ed as fi nancial assets at FVTOCI. This 
is because they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash fl ows and to sell the 
debt instruments, and they have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal 
amount outstanding. The change in fair value on these investments continues to be accumulated in the investment 
revaluation reserve until they are derecognised or reclassifi ed. The change in classifi cation of these investments at 1 July

from a business combination) that were previously classifi ed as available-for-sale fi nancial assets and were measured at 
cost under AASB 139 have been designated as at FVTOCI. The change in fair value on these equity instruments will be 
accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve. No adjustment has been made within the fi nancial statements due to 
immateriality;

•  fi nancial assets classifi ed as held-to-maturity and loans and receivables under AASB 139 that were measured at

Impairment of fi nancial assets

AASB 9 requires impairment to be measured using an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model as opposed to AASB 139’s incurred 
credit loss model. The expected credit loss model requires the Group to account for expected credit losses and changes in 
those expected credit losses at each reporting date to refl ect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the fi nancial 
assets. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

Specifi cally, AASB 9 requires the Group to recognise a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

(iv) 

debt investments subsequently measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI;

lease receivables;

contract assets; and

loan commitments and fi nancial guarantee contracts to which the impairment requirements of  
AASB 9 apply.

AASB 9 requires the Group to measure the loss allowance for a fi nancial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL if 
the credit risk on that fi nancial instrument has increased signifi cantly since initial recognition, or if the fi nancial instrument is a 
purchased or originated credit-impaired fi nancial asset. On the other hand, if the credit risk on a fi nancial instrument has not 
increased signifi cantly since initial recognition (except for purchased or originated credit-impaired fi nancial assets), the Group 
is required to measure the loss allowance for that fi nancial instrument at an amount equal to a 12 month ECL.

As at 1 July 2018, the Directors of the Company reviewed and assessed the Group’s existing fi nancial assets and fi nancial 
guarantee contracts for impairment using reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or 
eff ort in accordance with the requirements of AASB 9 to determine the credit risk of the respective items at the date they were 
initially recognised, and compared that to the credit risk as at 1 July 2018. The result of the assessment on a consolidated 
basis is as follows:

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has applied AASB 15 for the fi rst time in the current period. AASB 15 introduces a fi ve-step approach to revenue 
recognition and more prescriptive guidance has been added to deal with specifi c scenarios. Details of these new requirements 
as well as their impact on the Group’s consolidated fi nancial statements are described below.

The Group has applied AASB 15 in accordance with the fully retrospective transitional approach without using the practical 
expedients for completed contracts in AASB 15.C5(a), and (b), or for modifi ed contracts in AASB 15.C5(c) but using the 
expedient in AASB 15.C5(d), allowing both non-disclosure of the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining 
performance obligations, and an explanation of when it expects to recognise that amount as revenue for all reporting periods 
presented before the date of initial application, i.e. 1 January 2018.

Apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the Group’s revenue transactions, the application of AASB 15 has not had 
a signifi cant impact on the fi nancial position and/or fi nancial performance of the Group. Signifi cant revenue streams of the 
Group falling within the scope of AASB 15 are explained below.

Fees and commissions

The Group charges various fees and commissions to its customers from time to time from loan initiation to fi nal settlement. 
Revenue is recognised when services promised under the contract are rendered and performance obligations are satisfi ed. 
There has been no adjustment to the current revenue recognition methodology of the Group as a result of the adoption of 
AASB 15. The accounting policy related to fees and commissions are disclosed in Section 2.2 - Other non-interest income.

1.7.2  

Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2019 
reporting period are set out below and have not been early adopted by the Group.

AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16)

30 June 2020

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117, Leases and is eff ective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The new 
standard is aimed at a more transparent representation of the true fi nancial position of an entity by fully refl ecting its liabilities 
as the leases represent committed future expenditures. The Standard introduces an on balance sheet lease accounting model 
where a right-of-use asset (representing the right to use the underlying asset) and a lease liability (representing the obligation 
to make lease payments) are recognised. The asset is depreciated over the term of the lease and the liability is reduced by the 
actual lease payments. Interest on the outstanding liability is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profi t or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income. The Group incurs costs for leases relating to offi  ce space in Brisbane and regional Queensland.

The new standard will have the following impact on the Group’s fi nancial statements:

•  the Group will recognise new right-of-use assets and liabilities relating to operating leases of offi  ce premises and vehicles in 

the Statement of Financial Position;

•  the recognition of operating lease expense will be replaced with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest 

expense on lease liabilities in the Statement of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income; and

•  cash payments of the lease liability will be classifi ed into a principal portion and interest portion and presented in the 

Statement of Cash Flows under fi nancing and operating activities respectively.

As at 30 June 2019, the minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases amounted to $5.586m. The Group 
will adopt the standard for the year ended 30 June 2020, and has chosen the ‘modifi ed’ retrospective approach whereby 
comparative fi nancial statements will not be restated. The Group has estimated the cumulative eff ect arising as a result of 
adoption of AASB 16 which will be recognised as a one off  adjustment to opening retained earnings of $0.846m. The right-of-
use asset and lease liability that will be recognised on transition is estimated at $2.840m and $3.687m respectively.

The Group estimates that as result of adoption of AASB 16, depreciation expense on right-of-use assets amounting to 
$1.171m and interest expense on lease liability amounting to $0.162m will be recognised in the fi nancial statements for the 
year ending 30 June 2020.

Reclassifi cation of comparative fi gures

Certain accounts in the Statement of Financial Position for the year ended 30 June 2018, which are included in the 2019 
fi nancial statements for comparative purposes, have been reclassifi ed to conform to the nature of accounts. The signifi cant

Interest income and interest expense

Interest income and expense for all fi nancial instruments except for those classifi ed as held for trading and those measured or 
designated at FVTPL are recognised in net interest income as interest income and interest expense in the profi t or loss account 
using the eff ective interest method.

The eff ective interest rate (EIR) is the rate that discounts estimated future cash fl ows of a fi nancial instrument over its expected 
life or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the fi nancial asset or fi nancial liability. The future cash 
fl ows are estimated taking into account the contractual terms of the instrument.

The calculation of the EIR includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are incremental and directly 
attributable to the specifi c lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. For fi nancial assets at 
FVTPL transaction costs are recognised in profi t or loss at initial recognition.

The interest income/ interest expense is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired 
fi nancial assets (i.e. the amortised cost of the fi nancial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance), or to 
the amortised cost of fi nancial liabilities. For credit-impaired fi nancial assets the interest income is calculated by applying 
the EIR to the amortised cost of the credit-impaired fi nancial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for 
expected credit losses (ECLs)). For fi nancial assets originated or purchased credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR refl ects the ECL in 
determining the future cash fl ows expected to be received from the fi nancial asset.

Other non-interest income

Fee and commission income and expense include fees other than those that are an integral part of EIR (see above). The fees 
included in this part of the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Profi t or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income include among 
other things fees charged for servicing a loan, non-utilisation fees relating to loan commitments when it is unlikely that these 
will result in a specifi c lending arrangement and loan syndication fees.

Income from these sources is measured based on the consideration specifi ed in a contract with a customer and excludes 
amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to 
a customer which is typically at the time when the underlying transaction to which the fee and commission relates is executed 
as specifi ed in the contract.

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary diff erences between the 
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the fi nancial statements, and to unused tax losses.

The income tax expense is determined using the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. 
Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

A deferred income tax loss is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary diff erences, between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated fi nancial statements and their respective tax bases. However, deferred tax 
liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for 
if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of 
the transaction aff ects neither accounting nor taxable profi t or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of 
the reporting period and are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is 
credited to profi t or loss except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax 
is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary diff erences and unused tax losses if it is probable that 
future taxable profi ts will be available against which deductible temporary diff erences and losses can be utilised. The amount 
of benefi ts brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change 
will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive suffi  cient future assessable 
income to enable the benefi t to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profi t or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting 
for a business combination, the tax eff ect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Tax consolidation legislation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities (with the exception of Auswide Performance Rights Pty Ltd) 
formed an income tax consolidated Group under the Australian Consolidation System as of the fi nancial year ended 30 June 
2008. Auswide Bank Ltd is the head entity in the tax consolidated Group, and as a consequence recognises current and 
deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly-owned Australian controlled entities in 
this Group as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax amounts 
arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. The tax consolidated Group has not entered into a tax sharing

All land and buildings were revalued as at 4 June 2018 by certifi ed practicing valuers Henry Brown of Taylor Byrne Pty Ltd. 
The valuations were assessed to fair market values based on comparable sales in regional Queensland and by capitalisation 
of assessed net income. The Company’s policy is to engage external experts to comprehensively revalue freehold land and 
buildings every three years with an assessment performed by the Board of Directors in intervening years.

Investments and fi nancing (continued)

Accounting policies

Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land and buildings are stated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their revalued amounts, being the 
fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent depreciation for buildings and subsequent accumulated impairment 
losses. Freehold land is not depreciated. Revalued amounts are based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external 
independent valuers.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the 
net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash fl ows that 
will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash fl ows have been discounted to 
their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 
it is probable that future economic benefi ts associated with the item will fl ow to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profi t or loss during the fi nancial period in which they are 
incurred.

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of freehold land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income 
and accumulated within equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously 
recognised in profi t or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profi t or loss to the extent of the decrease previously 
expensed. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is recognised in profi t or 
loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation 
of that asset.

The depreciable amount of all fi xed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is 
depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held 
ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation periods used for each class of depreciable assets are:

•  Buildings - 40 years

•  Plant and equipment - 4 to 6 years

•  Leasehold improvements - 4 to 6 years or the term of the lease, whichever is the lesser.

The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefi ts are expected to 
arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the 
carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profi t or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the 
revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Purchased items of computer software which are not integral to the computer hardware owned by the Group are classifi ed as 
intangible assets. Intangible assets are stated in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less any accumulated depreciation 
and impairment.

Computer software has a fi nite life and accordingly is amortised on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the 
software. Amortisation periods ranging from 4 to 6 years are applied.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefi ts are expected from use or disposal. 
Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the diff erence between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying 
amount of the assets and are taken to profi t or loss at the date of derecognition.

No internally generated intangible assets are recognised by the Group.

Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefi nite lives and intangible assets not yet available for 
use.

3.3.1  

Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd (YCU)

On 19 May 2016, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd trading as Your Credit 
Union (YCU), via a court approved Scheme of Arrangement which involved the demutualisation of YCU and resulted in Auswide 
Bank Ltd obtaining control of YCU. All of YCU’s assets, liabilities and obligations, whether actual or contingent were transferred 
to Auswide Bank Ltd. In addition, all duties, obligations, immunities, rights and privileges which apply to YCU, had YCU 
continued in existence, apply to Auswide Bank Ltd as a continuation of, and the same legal entity as YCU.

The fi nancial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
recognises the acquisition date as 19 May 2016.

3.3.2   Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS)

Pursuant to a bidder’s statement lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on 15 November 2007, 
the Company issued an off -market takeover off er for 100% of the ordinary shares in Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd 
(MPBS).

On 11 January 2008 the Company announced the fulfi lment of conditions pertaining to the off -market takeover off er set out in 
the bidder’s statement and gave notice that the off er was unconditional eff ective 10 January 2008.

In accordance with APRA’s approval for the transfer of business the fi nancial and accounting records of the entities were 
merged on 1 June 2008.

The fi nancial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
recognises the acquisition date as 10 January 2008.

Accounting policies

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business 
combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities 
recognised at the date of the acquisition.

Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-
generating units) that is expected to benefi t from the synergies of the business combination.

A cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment 
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. If the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated fi rst to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying 
amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss on goodwill is recognised directly in profi t or loss. An impairment loss 
recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the 
profi t or loss on disposal.

Impairment testing for goodwill is performed annually, or earlier if there is an impairment indicator.

Key estimates and judgements

The cash-generating unit selected for impairment testing of goodwill was the Auswide Bank Ltd parent entity, as it is 
impractical to identify a separate MPBS cash-generating unit, or YCU cash-generating unit, within the Company and 
Consolidated entities.

A separate cash-generating unit was identifi ed as a result of the acquisition of MoneyPlace. Upon the acquisition, an 
independent valuation was procured and goodwill was assessed as part of this process. On disposal goodwill was 
subsequently derecognised.

The goodwill disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2019 was supported by the impairment testing and no 
impairment adjustment was required. 

Impairment testing of goodwill was carried out by comparing the carrying amount of the cash generating unit to the 
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost to sell, using an earnings 
multiple applicable to the type of business. The category of this fair value is Level 3 as defi ned in Section 4.6 - Fair value 
measurements.

Earnings multiples relating to Group’s banking business are sourced from publicly available data associated with Australian 
businesses displaying similar characteristics to those of Auswide Bank Ltd, and are applied, together with a control premium, 
to current earnings. The key assumption is Price-Earnings (P/E) multiple observed for these businesses, which for the banking 
businesses were in the range of 9.5x-15.1x.

Eff ective 1 July 1998, the Company Law Review Act abolished the concept of par value shares and the concept of authorised 
capital. Accordingly, the Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.

All ordinary shares have equal voting, dividend and capital repayment rights.

3.4.1  

Staff  Share Plan

On 19 October 2018, 53,745 ordinary shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s staff  share plan. Shares were issued at a 
price of 90% of the weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange for the 10 
days prior to the issue of the invitation to subscribe for the shares.

The members of the Company approved a staff  share plan in 1992 enabling the staff  to participate to a maximum of 10% 
of the shares of the Company. The share plan is available to all employees under the terms and conditions as decided from 
time to time by the Directors, but in particular, limits the maximum loan to each participating employee to 40% of their gross 
annual income. The plan requires employees to provide a deposit of 10% with the balance able to be repaid over a period of 
fi ve years at no interest.

Accounting policies

Financial instruments

Financial assets and fi nancial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Recognised fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly 
attributable to the acquisition or issue of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities (other than fi nancial assets and fi nancial 
liabilities at FVTPL) are added to, or deducted from, the fair value on recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019    P|77

4. 

Financial assets, liabilities and related fi nancial risk management (continued)

4.1  

Categories of fi nancial instruments (continued)

If the transaction price diff ers from fair value at initial recognition, the Group will account for such diff erences as follows:

•  if fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or based on a valuation 
technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the diff erence is recognised in profi t or loss on initial 
recognition (i.e. day 1 profi t or loss); and

•  in all other cases, the fair value will be adjusted to bring it in line with the transaction price (i.e. day 1 profi t or loss will be 

deferred by including it in the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability).

After initial recognition, the deferred gain or loss will be released to profi t or loss on a rational basis, only to the extent that it 
arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or 
liability.

Financial assets

Financial assets are recognised on the trade date when the purchase is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the 
fi nancial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, 
plus transaction costs, except for those fi nancial assets classifi ed as at FVTPL. Transaction costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition of fi nancial assets classifi ed as at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

All recognised fi nancial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be subsequently measured at amortised 
cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the fi nancial assets and the contractual cash fl ow 
characteristics of the fi nancial assets.

Specifi cally:

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash fl ows, and that 

have contractual cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI), 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost;

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash fl ows and to 
sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash fl ows that are SPPI, are subsequently measured at FVTOCI; and

•  all other debt instruments (e.g. debt instruments managed on a fair value basis, or held for sale) and equity investments are 

subsequently measured at FVTPL.

However, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/ designation at initial recognition of a fi nancial asset on an 
asset-by-asset basis:

•  the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment that is neither held for 
trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3 applies, in OCI; 
and

•  the Group may irrevocably designate a debt instrument that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at 

FVTPL if doing so eliminates or signifi cantly reduces an accounting mismatch (referred to as the fair value option).

Debt instruments at amortised cost or at FVTOCI

The Group assesses the classifi cation and measurement of a fi nancial asset based on the contractual cash fl ow characteristics 
of the asset and the Group’s business model for managing the asset.

For an asset to be classifi ed and measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, its contractual terms should give rise to cash fl ows 
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding (SPPI). For the purpose of SPPI test, principal is 
the fair value of the fi nancial asset at initial recognition. That principal amount may change over the life of the fi nancial asset 
(e.g. if there are repayments of principal). Interest consists of consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk 
associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, 
as well as a profi t margin. The SPPI assessment is made in the currency in which the fi nancial asset is denominated.

Contractual cash fl ows that are SPPI are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Contractual terms that introduce 
exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash fl ows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement, such as exposure 
to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not give rise to contractual cash fl ows that are SPPI. An originated or an 
acquired fi nancial asset can be a basic lending arrangement irrespective of whether it is a loan in its legal form.

An assessment of business models for managing fi nancial assets is fundamental to the classifi cation of a fi nancial asset. The 
Group determines the business models at a level that refl ects how groups of fi nancial assets are managed together to achieve 
a particular business objective. The Group’s business model does not depend on management’s intentions for an individual 
instrument, therefore the business model assessment is performed at a higher level of aggregation.

When a debt instrument measured at FVTOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is 
reclassifi ed from equity to profi t or loss.

P|78    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI are subject to impairment.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are:

•  assets with contractual cash fl ows that are not SPPI; or/and

•  assets that are held in a business model other than held to collect contractual cash fl ows or held to collect and sell; or

•  assets designated at FVTPL using the fair value option.

Such assets are measured at fair value, with any gains/losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profi t or loss.

Equity investments

On initial recognition, the Group classifi es the investment in equity instruments either at FVTPL if it is held for trading or at 
FVTOCI if designated as measured at FVTOCI. When an equity investment designated as measured at FVTOCI is derecognised, 
the cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is not subsequently reclassifi ed to profi t or loss but transferred within 
equity.

Derecognition of fi nancial assets

The Group derecognises a fi nancial asset only when the contractual rights to the asset’s cash fl ows expire (including expiry 
arising from a modifi cation with substantially diff erent terms), or when the fi nancial asset and substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all 
the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in 
the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of a transferred fi nancial asset, the Group continues to recognise the fi nancial asset and also recognises a 
collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a fi nancial asset in its entirety, the diff erence between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the 
consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain/loss that had been recognised in OCI and accumulated in 
equity is recognised in profi t or loss, with the exception of equity investment designated as measured at FVTOCI, where the 
cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is not subsequently reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

Reclassifi cations

If the business model under which the Group holds fi nancial assets changes, the fi nancial assets aff ected are reclassifi ed. The 
classifi cation and measurement requirements related to the new category apply prospectively from the fi rst day of the fi rst 
reporting period following the change in business model that results in reclassifying the Group’s fi nancial assets. During the 
current fi nancial year and previous accounting period there was no change in the business model under which the Group holds 
fi nancial assets and therefore no reclassifi cations were made.

Financial liabilities

A fi nancial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another fi nancial asset or to exchange fi nancial assets or 
fi nancial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group or a contract that will 
or may be settled in the Group’s own equity instruments and is a non-derivative contract for which the Group is or may be 
obliged to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments, or a derivative contract over own equity that will or may 
be settled other than by the exchange of a fi xed amount of cash (or another fi nancial asset) for a fi xed number of the Group’s 
own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities are classifi ed as either fi nancial liabilities at FVTPL or other fi nancial liabilities. The Group does not have any 
fi nancial liabilities which are classifi ed at FVTPL.

Other fi nancial liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other 
fi nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the eff ective interest method.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of 
its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 
Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain/loss is recognised in 
profi t or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

notes were issued at a margin of 320 bps over the BBSW.

The Group did not have any defaults of principal or interest or other breaches with respect to its subordinated liabilities during 
the years ended 30 June 2018 and 2019.

4.2  

Capital risk management

The Board and Management of Auswide Bank Ltd are responsible for instituting a Risk Management Framework (RMF) 
including policies and processes to reduce such risks to prudent levels at both a Company and Group level. The Board has 
established the following committees and delegated responsibilities to develop and monitor risk within their relevant areas and 
consistent with the Group wide Risk Management Framework:

Financial assets, liabilities and related fi nancial risk management (continued)

4.2  

Capital risk management (continued)

The Board Risk Committee;

•  assists the Board in the eff ective management of its responsibilities to set and oversee the risk profi le and the risk 

management framework of Auswide Bank;

•  ensures management have appropriate risk systems and practices to eff ectively operate within the Board approved risk 

profi le for Auswide Bank; and

•  deals with, and where applicable resolve, determine and recommend, all matters falling within the scope of its purpose and 
duties as set out in the Charter and other matters that may be delegated by the Board to the Committee from time to time.

The Board Audit Committee;

•  overviews the management of the fi nancial reporting and disclosure practices;

•  overviews the internal audit functions;

•  reviews compliance with APRA reporting and other statutory requirements;

•  oversight of fi nancial accounts;

•  addresses changes in accounting principles and the application in interim and annual reports;

•  reviews reports from the External Auditors; and

•  reviews reports from the Internal Auditor, the Internal Audit program and any Management responses to issues raised.

The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO);

•  reviews the balance sheet and recommends changes with regard to capital management, funding and securitisation 

activities (including product related issues); and

•  reviews measures of liquidity and capital adequacy position against the policy and guidelines established in the Board policy.

APRA’s Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy aims to ensure the Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADI’s) 
maintain adequate capital, on both an individual and group basis, to act as a buff er against the risks associated with the 
Group’s activities. APRA requires capital to be allocated against credit, market and operational risk, and the Group has adopted 
the ‘standard model’ approach to measure the capital adequacy ratio.

The Board of Directors takes responsibility to ensure the Company and Group maintain a level and quality of capital 
commensurate with the type, amount and concentration of risks to which the company and consolidated group are exposed 
from their activities. The Board has regard to prospective changes in the risk profi le and capital holdings.

The Company’s management prepares a three year capital plan and monitors actual risk-based capital ratios on a monthly 
basis to ensure the capital ratio complies with Board targets. During the 2019 and 2018 fi nancial years the capital adequacy 
ratios of both the Group and Company were maintained above the target ratio.

The capital adequacy calculations at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with the revised 
prudential standards incorporating the Basel III principles.

APRA Prudential Standards and Guidance Notes for ADIs provide guidelines for the calculation of capital and specifi c 
parameters relating to Tier 1, Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital. Tier 1 capital comprises the highest quality 
components of capital and includes ordinary share capital, general reserves and retained earnings less specifi c deductions. 
Tier 2 capital comprises other capital components including general reserve for credit losses and cumulative subordinated debt.

Consistent with Basel III, the approach to capital assessment provides for a quantitative measure of the capital adequacy and 
focuses on:

•  credit risk arising from on-balance sheet and off -balance sheet exposures;

•  market risk arising from trading activities;

•  operational risk associated with banking activities;

•  securitisation risks; and

•  the amount, form and quality of capital held to act as a buff er against these and other exposures.

At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 2.0% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s 
net profi t before tax would increase by $11.559m or decrease by $14.178m (2018: decrease by $8.404m or increase by 
$7.336m). This is mainly due to the Company’s exposures to variable rate loans, and deposit and securitisation liabilities.

The sensitivity analysis was derived from the Visual Risk Report which calculates risk associated with movements in interest 
rates through the input of parameters for all fi nancial assets and liabilities. The parameters used were consistent with those 
adopted for the prior year.

Derivatives

Derivatives are utilised to manage interest rate risk, along with balance sheet management. Net Interest Impact, Net Present 
Value and Value at Risk are key interest rate risk measures that are monitored to maintain ratios and risk within policy limits.

Each of the securitisation trusts has an Interest Rate Swap in place to hedge against fi xed rate loans held in the trust. The 
mark-to-market values at the end of the year were as follows:

Auswide Bank enters into interest rate swaps from time to time and has International Swaps and Derivatives (ISDAs) in place 
with the ANZ and Wesptac Banks. Auswide Bank currently has six interest rate swaps, two with ANZ and four with Westpac 
Bank. These are designated as eff ective hedges and are accounted for as cash fl ow hedges.

Assets and liabilities arising from the mark-to-market valuation of interest rate swaps are $0.589m and $1.332m 
respectively (2018: $61,343 and $54,714).

Accounting policies

Cash fl ow hedges

The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include interest rate swaps, as cash fl ow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and 
the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. 
Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument 
is highly eff ective in off setting changes in cash fl ows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

The eff ective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated 
and qualify as cash fl ow hedges is recognised in the cash fl ow hedging reserve, a separate component of OCI, limited to the 
cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge less any amounts recycled to profi t or loss.

Amounts previously recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity are reclassifi ed to profi t or loss in the periods when 
the hedged item aff ects profi t or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. If the Group no longer expects the 
transaction to occur that amount is immediately reclassifi ed to profi t or loss.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the 
qualifying criteria (after rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, 
terminated or exercised, or where the occurrence of the designated hedged forecast transaction is no longer considered to 
be highly probable. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain/loss recognised in OCI and accumulated 
in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profi t 
or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain/loss accumulated in equity is reclassifi ed and 
recognised immediately in profi t or loss.

Financial assets, liabilities and related fi nancial risk management (continued)

4.4  

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Group will be unable to meet its fi nancial obligations as they fall due.

The Board of Directors have approved an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the 
Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate reserves, credit facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, and daily monitoring and forecasting cash 
fl ows.

Liquidity is monitored by management and a projection of near future liquidity (30 days) is calculated daily. This information is 
used by management to manage expected liquidity requirements.

An additional reserve equivalent to a minimum of 6% of the Company’s liability base assessed on a quarterly basis is set aside 
and isolated as additional liquidity available in a crisis situation via the RBA repurchase facility (Repo).

The undrawn limits on the securitisation warehouses were as follows:

Financial assets, liabilities and related fi nancial risk management (continued)

4.5  

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss to 
the Group. The Group’s main income generating activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. 
Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances, debt investments, lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments and 
fi nancial guarantees. The Group considers all elements of credit risk exposure such a counterparty default risk, geographical 
risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.

Under the direction of the Board of Directors, management has developed risk management policies and procedures to 
establish and monitor the credit risk of the Company. The risk management procedures defi ne the credit principles, lending 
policies and the decision making processes which control the credit risk of the Company.

Credit risk exists predominantly on the Group’s loan portfolio. Other assets that are subject to credit risk include cash and 
cash equivalents, amounts due from other fi nancial institutions, receivables, certifi cates of deposit, securitisation notes and 
deposits, loan commitments and bank guarantees.

The loan portfolio consists of mortgage lending, personal lending and commercial lending. Loan commitments and bank 
guarantees are off  balance sheet exposures of the loan portfolio, which are also subject to credit risk. These groupings, by 
product type, have been assessed as refl ecting similar performance behaviours, based on the Group’s analysis of its loan 
portfolio.

Credit risk on mortgage lending is minimised by the availability and application of insurances including lenders’ mortgage 
insurance, property insurance and mortgage protection insurance. Credit risk in the mortgage loan portfolio is managed by 
generally protecting all loans in excess of 80% LVR with one of the recognised mortgage insurers and securing the loans by 
fi rst mortgages on residential property.

The company has a diversifi ed branch network consisting of 21 branches and agencies across Queensland, and a business 
centre in Brisbane city. The Company also employs Business Development Managers in Sydney and Melbourne to conduct 
interstate business. All regional loan staff  and panel valuers are locally based ensuring an in depth knowledge of the local 
economy and developments in the real estate market.

The Board of Directors and management receive reports on a monthly basis to monitor and supervise the past due loans in the 
portfolio, as well as economic forecasts, and ensures credit procedures are adhered to on a timely and accurate basis.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of fi nancial asset is the carrying amount 
of those assets as recognised on the balance sheet. In relation to off  balance sheet loan commitments, the maximum exposure 
to credit risk is the maximum committed amount as per terms of the agreement. The maximum credit risk exposure does not 
take into account the value of any security held or the value of any mortgage or other insurance to mitigate the risk exposure.

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to loans receivable by undertaking transactions with a large 
number of customers principally within the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Diversifi cation of the 
mortgage portfolio assists in minimising credit risk by reducing security concentrations in particular geographic locations.

Credit risk on personal lending is minimised by the availability of consumer credit insurance, as well as the lending policies and 
processes in place.

Commercial lending credit risk is minimised requiring collateral as security, which is mostly residential property, in addition to 
the use of bank guarantees in some circumstances. The risk management policies and decision making procedures also aid in 
minimising credit risk on commercial exposures.

Off  balance sheet loan commitments and bank guarantees are also subject to credit risk, which is minimised by following credit 
guidelines for issuing credit, as well as monitoring and following review processes for exposures in relation to bank guarantees 
and undrawn credit.

Credit risk on cash, cash equivalents and amounts due from other fi nancial institutions have been assessed as low risk with a 
negligible probability of default, due to amounts being invested with investment grade credit institutions with a no loss history.

Credit risk on certifi cates of deposit is assessed as low and probability of default negligible. Risk is minimised by using clearly 
defi ned policies for investment grade rated credit institutions, combined with the current economic outlook and on the basis of 
no prior losses in the Group’s history on these investments.

External securitised notes are subject to low credit risk and negligible probability of default due to securitisation trusts having 
a structure that utilises an excess income reserve to absorb any losses, reducing the risk of note balances being aff ected. The 
securitisation deposits are made with investment grade rated credit institutions.

4.5.1  

Sources of credit risk

Key sources of credit risk for the Group predominantly emanate from its business activities including loans and advances to 
customers, debt investments, loan commitments etc. The Group monitors and manages credit risk by class of fi nancial

The Group recognises loss allowances for ECLs on the following fi nancial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL:

•  loans and advances; and

•  issued loan commitments and loans approved and not yet advanced.

ECLs are required to be measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

•  12-month ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from those default events on the fi nancial instrument that are possible within 12 

months after the reporting date, (referred to as stage 1); or

•  lifetime ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from all possible default events over the life of the fi nancial instrument, (referred to 

as stage 2 and stage 3).

A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a fi nancial instrument if the credit risk on that fi nancial instrument has 
increased signifi cantly since initial recognition. For all other fi nancial instruments, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to 
the 12-month ECL.

Defi nition of default

The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default:

•  the borrower is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Group; or

•  the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

The defi nition of default is appropriately tailored to refl ect diff erent characteristics of diff erent types of assets. Overdrafts are 
considered as being past due once the customer has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller than the 
current amount outstanding.

When assessing if the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligation, the Group takes into account both qualitative and 
quantitative indicators. The information assessed depends on the type of the asset, for example in corporate lending a 
qualitative indicator used is the breach of covenants, which is not relevant for retail lending. Quantitative indicators, such as 
overdue status and non-payment on another obligation of the same counterparty are key inputs in this analysis.

Credit risk management (continued)

Write off 

Loans and advances and debt securities are written off  when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the 
fi nancial asset (either in its entirety or a portion of it). This is the case when the Group determines that the borrower does 
not have assets or sources of income that could generate suffi  cient cash fl ows to repay the amounts subject to the write-
off . A write-off  constitutes a derecognition event. The Group may apply enforcement activities to fi nancial assets written off . 
Recoveries resulting from the Group’s enforcement activities will result in impairment gains.

Key estimates and judgements

Signifi cant increase in credit risk

ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL for stage 1 assets, or lifetime ECL assets for stage 2 or stage 
3 assets. An asset moves to stage 2 when its credit risk has increased signifi cantly since initial recognition. AASB 9 
does not defi ne what constitutes a signifi cant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has 
signifi cantly increased the Group takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward looking 
information.

Models and assumptions used

The Group uses various models and assumptions in measuring fair value of fi nancial assets as well as in estimating ECL. 
Judgement is applied in identifying the most appropriate model for each type of asset, as well as for determining the 
assumptions used in these models, including assumptions that relate to key drivers of credit risk.

Forward looking scenarios

When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on 
assumptions for the future movement of diff erent economic drivers and how these drivers will aff ect each other.

Probability of default (PD)

PD constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the 
calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions.

Loss Given Default (LGD)

LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the diff erence between the contractual cash fl ows due 
and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash fl ows from collateral and integral credit 
enhancements.

4.5.2   Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) 

The key inputs used for measuring ECL are:

•  probability of default (PD);

•  loss given default (LGD); and

•  exposure at default (EAD).

These fi gures are derived from internally developed statistical models and other historical data and they are adjusted to 
refl ect probability-weighted forward-looking information.

PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. It is estimated as at a point in time. The Group 
has developed a PD model for loans and advances based on the likelihood of a default event occurring within the next 12 
months, based on the current status of each loan. A lifetime PD is also computed where appropriate. Historical data on loan 
behaviours is captured to enable projections on loans going into default. This provides statistical data that is used in the PD 
model for calculating the probability of default.

LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. The Group has developed a single LGD model, which includes judgements 
and estimates based on industry statistics and historical performance of the Bank’s portfolio. Given the Group’s loan 
portfolio, market data on LGDs of other institutions has also been applied in management’s assessment of LGD.

EAD is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after 
the reporting date, including repayments and principal and interest, and expected drawdowns on committed facilities. The 
Group has developed a single EAD model to cover all applicable loan exposures.

The Group measures ECL considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including extension options) 
over which the entity is exposed to credit risk and not a longer period. The risk of default is assessed by considering 
historical data as well as forward looking information through a macroeconomic overlay and management judgement.

The Group’s risk function constantly monitors the ongoing appropriateness of the ECL model and related criteria, where any 
proposed amendments will be reviewed and approved by the Group’s management committees.

Incorporation of forward looking information

The Group uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or eff ort in its assessment of signifi cant 
increase of credit risk as well as in its measurement of ECL. The Group uses this information to generate a ‘base case’ scenario 
of future forecast of relevant economic variables along with a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios.

The Group applies probabilities to the forecast scenarios identifi ed. The base case scenario is the single most-likely outcome 
and consists of information used by the Group for strategic planning and budgeting.

The Group has identifi ed and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each lending portfolio using a 
statistical analysis of historical data and has estimated relationships between macro-economic variables, credit risk and credit 
losses.

The principal macroeconomic indicators included in the economic scenarios used at 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019 are GDP, 
GDP index, GDP index change and unemployment. Management have derived that GDP has economic correlations to infl ation 
and unemployment, which generally have a corresponding impact on loan performance. Scenarios are compiled using APRA 
quarterly statistics and ADI Performance Statistics for losses data, ABS statistics for GDP, CPI (as proxy for GDP index) and 
unemployment rates, along with forecast reports from the market.

The base case scenario is derived from forecasted changes to GDP, CPI and unemployment rates, using management’s 
judgement. Adjustments to these forecasts are made to develop a further two scenarios for less likely but plausible economic 
expectations. A weighting is applied to each scenario, based on management’s judgement as to the probability of each 
scenario occurring. These economic forecasts are then applied to a statistical model to determine the macroeconomic eff ects 
on the expected loss allowance on the lending portfolios.

The incorporation of forward looking information on the assessment of ECL on other assets required to be assessed for 
impairment is a qualitative approach. A range of economic outlooks, from an economist, the RBA and OECD, have been 
considered in making an assessment of whether there are economic forecasts that would indicate a potential impairment on 
the assets being assessed.

Signifi cant increase in credit risk

The Group monitors all fi nancial assets that are subject to impairment requirements to assess whether there has been a 
signifi cant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a signifi cant increase in credit risk the Group will 
measure the expected loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL.

The Group has used the assumption that 30 days past due represents signifi cant increase in credit risk. The Group considers 
90 days past due as representative of a default having occurred and a loan being credit impaired.

The Group has identifi ed the following three stages in which fi nancial instruments have been classifi ed in regards to credit risk;

•  stage 1 - performing exposure on which loss allowance is recognised as 12 month expected credit loss;

•  stage 2 - where credit risk has increased signifi cantly and impairment loss is recognised as lifetime expected credit loss; and

•  stage 3 - assets are credit impaired and impairment loss is recognised as lifetime expected credit loss. Interest is accrued on 

a net basis, on the amortised cost of the loans after the ECL is deducted.

4.5.11   Collateral held as security and other credit enhancements

Mortgage lending

The Group holds residential properties as collateral for the mortgage loans it grants to its customers. The Group monitors its 
exposure to retail mortgage lending using the LVR (loan to value ratio), which is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount 
of the loan to the value of the collateral. The valuation of the collateral excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the 
collateral. The value of the collateral for residential mortgage loans is typically based on the collateral value at origination. 
For credit-impaired loans the value of collateral is based on the most recent appraisals. Subsequent appraisals are performed 
on securities held for credit-impaired loans, to more closely monitor the Group’s exposure. The Group will take possession 
of security property in line with its MIP (mortgagee in possession) policy and any loss resulting from subsequent sale will be 
recorded as an expense, resulting in a reduction in any provision that was held for that exposure. There are also procedures 
in place for the recovery of bad debts written off ; debt recovery processes are performed internally as well as through the use 
of third parties. The table below shows the exposures from mortgage loans by ranges of LVR. Disclosures on a Company basis 
have not been separately disclosed as the amounts do not diff er materially from those of the Consolidated entity.

The Group’s personal lending portfolio consists of secured and unsecured term loans and unsecured credit cards. For 
loans with a purpose of purchasing vehicles and the like, the vehicle can be used as security for a secured personal loan, if 
acceptable under the applicable lending policy. The personal lending portfolio exhibits similar traits and behaviours regardless 
of whether the loan is secured or unsecured.

Commercial lending

The Group requests collateral, which is usually in the form of residential property, as security for corporate lending. Bank 
guarantees are also used at times, which utilise cash, residential or commercial mortgages as security. The table below shows 
the exposures from commercial loans by ranges of LVR. Disclosures on a Company basis have not been separately disclosed as

Accounting policies

Fair value measurements

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on 
the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) 
transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine 
fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to characteristics of the specifi c asset or liability. The fair 
values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. 

P|102    AUSWIDE BANK ANNUAL REPORT 2019

These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market 
with greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous 
market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the 
asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-fi nancial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset 
in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. In 
measuring fair value, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of 
unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classifi ed, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that refl ects the 
signifi cance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifi cations are received at each reporting date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is signifi cant to the fair value 
measurement. The categories are as follows:

•  level 1 - measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the 

entity can access at the measurement date,

•  level 2 - measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 

liability, either directly or indirectly, and

•  level 3 - measurement based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation 
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all signifi cant 
inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in level 2. If one or more signifi cant inputs 
are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in level 3.

4.6.4  

Summary of valuation methodologies applied in determining fair value of fi nancial instruments

Each valuation technique requires inputs that refl ect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the 
asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priorities to those 
techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed 
using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and that refl ect the assumptions that buyers 
and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market 
data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered 
unobservable.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is ether not 
available or when the valuation is determined to be signifi cant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and 
reputation.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment 
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such fi nancial 
instrument, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held in assets. Where this information 
is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and where signifi cant, are detailed in the respective note to the 
fi nancial statements.

The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which suffi  cient data is available to 
measure fair value. The availability of suffi  cient and relevant data primarily depends on the specifi c characteristics of the asset 
or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the economic entity are consistent with one or more of the 
following valuation approaches:

•  market approach - valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for 

identical or similar assets or liabilities;

•  income approach - valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash fl ows or income and expenses into a single 

discounted present value; and

•  cost approach - valuation techniques that refl ect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.

Financial Advice Matters Group Pty Ltd (FAMG) is accounted for using the equity method in these consolidated fi nancial 
statements.

Accounting policies

Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has signifi cant infl uence. Signifi cant infl uence is the power to participate in the 
fi nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date on which the investee 
becomes an associate. The fi nancial statements of the associate are used by the Group to apply the equity method. The 
reporting dates and accounting policies of the associate have been aligned to that of the Group where necessary.

Investments in an associate are carried in the consolidated and parent entity Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post-
acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment in value. The consolidated and 
parent entity profi t or loss refl ects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate.

Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate’s equity, the Group recognises its share of any changes 
and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated and parent entity statement of changes in equity.

Summarised fi nancial information in respect of FAMG is set out below. The summarised fi nancial information below represents 
amounts shown in the FAMG’s fi nancial statements prepared in accordance with AASBs.

Accounting policies

Employee provisions

Provision is made for the liability for employee benefi ts arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting 
period.

Short-term employee benefi ts 

Liabilities for wages, salaries, sick leave and bonuses, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of the end 
of the reporting period are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of employee services provided to the 
end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-
costs.

Long-term employee benefi ts 

Liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled within twelve months of the end of the 
reporting period. They are recognised as provisions for employee benefi ts and are measured at the present value of the 
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given 
to expected future salary and wage increases and periods of service.

Regardless of when settlement is expected to occur, liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are presented as current 
liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 
twelve months after the end of the reporting period.

Superannuation

Contributions are made by the Group to an employees’ superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred. 
The Group has no legal obligation to cover any shortfall in the fund’s obligation to provide benefi ts to employees on retirement.

Auswide Bank Ltd maintains corporate governance policies and practices which follow the recommendations outlined by the 
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and which comply with the Corporations Act 2001, the ASX Listing Rules and APRA 
Prudential Standards CPS 510 Governance.

The Board of Directors of Auswide Bank Ltd has adopted a Corporate Governance Statement which sets out the Company’s 
compliance with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles 
and Recommendations. The Corporate Governance Statement is available under the Governance section of the Company’s 
website located at www.auswidebankltd.com.au.

The Governance section also details other relevant corporate governance information, including the Board and Committee 
Charters, policies and codes of conduct. The following is a summary of Auswide Bank’s compliance with the principles 
outlined in ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd edition):

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Board Charter, together with the Corporate Governance Statement set out the roles and responsibilities of the Board 
and separate functions of management and delegated responsibilities. The Corporate Governance Statement also details 
checks undertaken and provision of material information to shareholders prior to recommendation and appointment of 
Directors.

In accordance with the regulatory standards, the Board has established a Group Board Remuneration Committee which 
carries out a performance evaluation of the Managing Director and review of the performance evaluations of other senior 
executives, which is provided to the Board following a report of discussions between the Chairman of the Committee and the 
Managing Director. A performance evaluation of the Board, the Board Committees and each individual Director’s contribution 
to the Board is performed annually as outlined in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Auswide Bank recognises that a gender balanced diverse and inclusive workforce with a wide array of perceptions resulting 
from such diversity, promotes innovation and a positive and successful business environment. Auswide Bank’s Diversity 
Policy is available in the Corporate Governance section of its website at www.auswidebankltd.com.au. The measurable 
objectives and Auswide Bank’s progress in achieving them, are outlined in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Auswide Bank is in compliance with Principle 1 and full details are available in the Corporate Governance Statement, Board 
Charter, Remuneration Committee Charter, together with other policies and codes located in the Governance section at 
www.auswidebankltd.com.au.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

Auswide Bank’s Board Charter outlines the structure of the board and its composition, together with the Board Renewal 
policy. Details of Directors’ skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity are discussed in the Corporate 
Governance Statement and in the Directors’ Statutory Report of this Annual Report.

The Board does not have a separate formal Nomination Committee, with the full Board addressing such issues that would be
