ABOUT 
AUSWIDE 
BANK

For over 50 years Auswide Bank has been providing 
an extensive range of banking products and financial 
services to our valued customers. Auswide Bank is not a 
big bank and we do not want to be like one.

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

At Auswide Bank, we are here to help our customers find 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.

Established in 1966

Auswide Bank provides home loans, consumer lending and a range of personal and business banking 
services nationally - in branch, online, over-the-phone and through distribution partnerships and a 
national mortgage broker network.

2020:  
YEAR IN 
REVIEW

John Humphrey  |  Chairman 

Martin Barrett  |  Managing Director

Financial year 2020 has 
been another successful 
year for Auswide Bank - a 
year where we delivered 
on all our key financial 
targets.

Improving our attraction and delivery to customers 
resulted in outstanding growth in lending and 
customer deposits and an equally outstanding year 
in profitability.

Significantly, these outcomes were achieved 
during a period of record low interest rates and 
unprecedented volatility with the second half marked 
by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

We responded rapidly to support our customers 
and staff to ensure their wellbeing and safety. Our 
COVID-19 assistance packages provided immediate 
financial relief to many customers and we are proud 
of that.

We are celebrating another year of quality growth 
in our balance sheet and profitability demonstrating 
our consistent progress and which, in recent times, 
we believe positively defies the industry norm.

Our Financial Performance
We are pleased to report that our statutory Net 
Profit after Tax (NPAT) was up 7.6% to $18.5 million 
compared to $17.2 million in the 2018/19 year. 
Our NPAT excluding the effects of COVID-19 was up 
16.9% to $20.1 million.  

The positive result was based on growth with the 
loan book increasing by 4.3% to $3.26 billion, or 1.5 
x system growth in a highly competitive market. 

We achieved this in conjunction with a 10 basis point 
increase in the Net Interest Margin (NIM), up to 197 
basis points from 187 basis points in 2018/2019, as 
active management of our funding costs continued 
to deliver significant benefits.   

Based on growth in our loan book and the significant 
increase in our NIM, our Net Interest Revenue 
was $70.5 million, up by $7.3 million compared to 
2018/19, an increase of 11.6%. 

The competitive environment has not affected our 
ability to grow our customer deposit base which 
increased by 10.4% to $2.62 billion, taking our self-
funding ratio to 74.5%. This represents an increase 
of more than 300 basis points over the prior year 
allowing us to reduce more expensive funding lines 
such as securitisation. 

Our Cost to Income Ratio continues to fall and at 
62.5% we are making good progress towards our 
60% goal.  

Underlying Earnings per Share (EPS) was 47.6 cents 
when the effects of COVID-19 are excluded. EPS 
on a statutory basis was up 3.0 cents per share to 
43.8 cents per share comparing very favourably 
to our peers.  Our EPS has improved steadily on a 
continuing operations basis since 2016 when it was 
31.2 cents per share or 40% lower than 2019/2020.   

Another medium-term goal we have previously 
flagged is Return on Net Tangible Assets (RONTA) 
of 10%. NPAT excluding the effects of COVID-19 
demonstrated a RONTA of 10.6%. Using statutory 
NPAT, RONTA improved from 9.1% to 9.7%.  

Our performance means your Board declared a 
final fully franked dividend of 10.75 cents per share 
payable on 18 September 2020, representing a 
payout ratio of 49.3% of our second half year 
statutory NPAT.

Our full financial year dividends amounted to 27.75 
cents per share representing a payout ratio of 
63.4%.  This lower final dividend in the context of 
higher profits, seeks to achieve the balance required 
to manage our capital prudently and to operate 
within the guidelines announced by the Australian 
Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) on 29 July 
2020 in response COVID-19 economic conditions.

Our Operational Performance
Lending

Home loans were up 3.5% to $3.05 billion 
representing over 93% of the total book. Our growth 
was driven by strong mortgage broker flows and 
our successful participation in the First Home Loan 
Deposit Scheme (FHLDS). 

In December 2019, we received approval from the 
National Housing Finance Investment Corporation 
(NHFIC) to join the Scheme lending panel. From 1 
February 2020, we commenced offering home loans 
to eligible first homebuyers with the FHLDS providing 
a government guarantee for any loan monies above 
80% LVR. The FHLDS contributed to a 25.8% 
increase in approvals and a 9.9% increase in home 
loan settlements for the year.

Consumer lending, including funding of consumer 
loans through managed investment schemes, 
materially increased totalling $80.5 million at the 
end of year, up from $62.3 million from 30 June 
2019.

Business lending, including residentially secured 
lending to business customers, was up to $135.9 
million. A strategic decision was made at the end 
of the year to pause new business lending to non-
customers as part of our risk management response 
to COVID-19. 

We are committed to maintaining quality lending and 
risk management of our loan book.

Total arrears were $12.6 million at 30 June 2020, 
representing 39 basis points of the loan book. This 
figure excludes COVID-19 related assistance in 
accordance with APRA guidelines.  It compares to 
total arrears of 46 basis points of loans at June 2019 
and is 53% down compared to June 2016.  Our 
arrears compare favourably with our peers with the 
SPIN index for >30 days past due for “Other Banks” 
at 131 basis points and for “Regional Banks” at 173 
basis points.   

One quarter of our loan book securities are now 
situated outside of Queensland, principally Sydney 
and Melbourne, and we continue to diversify our 
historical concentration away from our regional 
Queensland heartland, with New South Wales and 
South East Queensland representing significant 
growth opportunities. 

Our home lending book remains mature with 72% 
of home loans having an LVR of 80% or less. An 
increase in loans with LVR over 90% was due to 
the success of the FHLDS, however the government 
guarantee provides for any loan monies above 80% 
LVR.  The majority of other home loans with an LVR 
over 80% are covered with a recognised Lenders 
Mortgage Insurer.

Funding

Capital

During the year, we prudently managed our funding 
and we saw an ongoing shift in our funding mix as 
customer deposits increased by 10.4% to $2,620 
million and securitisation continued to fall. 

Customer deposits now represent 74.5% of funding, 
driven largely by the strong growth in at-call savings 
accounts which increased by 24.8% to $1.13 billion.

Regulators have responded decisively to the 
COVID-19 pandemic with the Reserve Bank 
announcing a Term Funding Facility for banks at 
0.25%, which provide an attractive and very cost-
effective funding line.

We have maintained a strong capital adequacy ratio 
of 12.95% and CET1 of 11.09% at 30 June 2020, 
meeting ‘unquestionably strong’ regulatory targets.  

Our capital ratio reduced from 13.79% at 30 
June 2019 due to our loan book growth and the 
suspension of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for the 
2018/19 final dividend.

Our capital position remains comfortably in excess of 
the Board’s target.  We will continue to support loan 
book growth with capital supply drivers including 
a Tier 2 subordinated debt transaction and the 
Dividend Reinvestment Plan for our 2019/20 final 
dividend. 

Our COVID-19 Response

We have responded to the 
coronavirus pandemic by 
supporting our customers 
and staff. 

The health and wellbeing of all our personnel and 
customers was an early priority with the rapid 
development of a response plan and continuous 
oversight of the situation.  Our branches remained 
open with the appropriate safety measures in place 
and our office staff worked remotely where possible.  

Our assistance packages for customers are 
consistent with our peers and included deferral of 
payments or change to interest only terms.  We 
responded with urgency and without the need for 
further evidence. We are proud that, in most cases, 
we responded to our customers within three days.

As at 30 June 2020, just below 9% of our loan book 
was placed on assistance, slightly lower than the 
average for the industry.  This represented 1014 
loan accounts for $288 million. The majority of 
requests were made in March slowing materially into 
April.  

Significantly, given how the pandemic has rolled 
out differently across the States, nearly 75% of our 
loan book is concentrated in Queensland with only 
8% located in Victoria.  Our loans are also heavily 
concentrated on residential lending representing 
over 95% of support that has been provided.

Our total Provision for Doubtful Debts increased from 
$4.9 million in December 2019 to $7.1million in 
June 2020 with an additional $2.3 million included 
for the effects of COVID-19, including a $1million 
overlay to provide for uncertainty going forward.  
The modelling for the provisions included stressed 
scenarios and the prescribed provisions required 
under APRA standards.

Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

In 2019, we commenced the first year of our 
community partnership with Queensland Rugby  
League (QRL).  The three year agreement includes 
Auswide Bank Naming Rights sponsorship of the 
under 18’s Mal Meninga Cup and sponsorship of the 
Queensland Maroons team.  In 2019, approximately 
9,537,000 viewers were exposed to the Auswide 
Bank brand on television, with the three State 
of Origin Games being the three most watched 
programs of the year.  We are leveraging this 
exposure to the QRL membership and fan base to 
drive new customer acquisition and in January 2020 
launched our ‘Club Rewards Program’  where QRL 
affiliated clubs can benefit when their members refer 
home loans and personal loans to us.

Unfortunately, the second year of our partnership 
with QRL has been impacted by COVID-19.  The Mal 
Meninga Cup was cancelled and the 2020 State of 
Origin series delayed until November.  This impacted 
our engagement and marketing opportunity, so 
we were pleased to negotiate an extension of our 
agreement with QRL for an additional year. 

Our Strategy

We are making substantial 
progress on our 
2019/2022 strategic 
plan which seeks to work 
with the strengths of the 
organisation.

Our plan determines our direction, resource 
allocation and prioritisation and has already 
supported our financial performance.  It has also 
helped us address challenges and work more 
collaboratively as an organisation with a common 
purpose.

Our strategic goals are being delivered with a 
number of clearly defined focuses.

Brand Awareness

Our goal is to grow our brand awareness across 
Queensland to over 60% by the end of 2022.  We 
were pleased to see a 31.23% improvement in brand 
recognition in July 2019 compared to the same time 
in 2018.   

We are growing brand awareness through consistent 
messaging about our value proposition, through 
advocacy off the back of enhanced customer service, 
by extending our brand through partnerships, and 
by differentiating our brand from the ‘Big 4’ through 
community engagement.

We were again the recipient of several awards that 
provided national recognition for our products and 
as at May 2020 rated 4.4 out of 5 stars across online 
and branch reviews on ProductReview.com.au

We are building our presence on online and social 
media platforms with our Facebook following 
growing around 11%, our LinkedIn following 
growing around 31%, and our Instagram and Twitter 
following both growing around 23% for the year.    

Partnerships

We will continue to identify and work with strategic 
partners that meet our criteria and where we believe 
we can create opportunity to reach our strategic and 
operational objectives.

During the year, we strengthened our partnership 
governance framework to ensure appropriate 
assessment and ongoing management of these 
relationships.  Our strategic partnerships can be 
broadly divided into: product partnerships where 
we seek to more fully meet the financial needs of 
our customers; distribution partnerships where we 
promote our products and services via our partner’s 
networks; community partnerships that support our 
brand and our commitment to social responsibility; 

and managed investments where we provide funding, 
for example to peer to peer lenders. 

Apart from our partnership with QRL, two examples 
of how partnerships have supported our growth and 
financial performance in 2019/20 are the National 
Housing Finance and Investment Corporation 
(NHFIC) and National Seniors Australia (NSA).

As advised earlier, our participation in the First 
Home Loan Deposit Scheme administered by 
NHFIC contributed significantly to our home loan 
program.  It has been exciting to see the quality of 
applications from a variety of backgrounds including 
a good proportion of young professionals and we 
congratulate the federal government on the initiative.   

In December 2019, we announced a partnership 
with National Seniors Australia, the peak national 
advocacy group representing the interests of older 
Australians.  The principal partnership focus was to 
provide their members and supporters with a range 
of ‘white label’ fixed interest term deposits.  With 
NSA support, we have seen solid growth of these 
deposits.  It has been pleasing to note that the 
majority of deposits have been sourced outside of 
Queensland helping diversify our deposit base.  This 
partnership together with similar partnerships where 
our term and on-call deposits are marketed and 
distributed have greatly supported our shift away 
from higher cost forms of funding and have directly 
supported the growth in our 2019/20 NIM.

The Year Ahead

In 2020/21, we will remain 
focused on all the key 
planks of our three-year 
strategic plan.

In addition, we will continue to provide the 
appropriate level of support to our people and any 
customers affected by COVID-19.

We have a relatively simple business.  Scale and 
complexity in this environment is not the competitive 
advantage it once was. Today simplicity and 
nimbleness backed by good value products that 
are distributed efficiently via multiple channels, 
both proprietary and partner, is the opportunity for 
Auswide Bank. 

The impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on 
consumer confidence will be a very important factor 
for the future.  At the time of writing, Queensland 
and New South Wales, where 88% of our loan book 
is located, have not been as negatively impacted by 
the crisis and have not experienced any material 
impacts to housing markets and prices.  In fact, 

regional Queensland is showing resilience with 
several markets experiencing increased land sales 
and housing construction.  We are well placed to 
take advantage of this growth. 

We have in the past held out four medium term 
financial targets including a Cost to Income Ratio 
of 60%, a stable NIM, a RONTA of 10% and above 
system loan growth.  Despite the challenges and 
uncertainty, we expect to continue our momentum in 
all of these areas in the year ahead. 

As we progress into the year ahead, we both extend 
our appreciation to the Auswide Bank team and 
our fellow Directors for your contribution and your 
dedication to achieving Auswide Bank’s mission, 
vision and values.   

Thank you also to our customers, shareholders and 
to our partners for your continuing support.

Digital Innovation and Customer Hub

A significant driver of growth, retention and 
efficiency is technology.  Our digital banking journey 
is simply to collaborate with those that have made 
the investment and that can assist us with digital 
distribution, improve customer experience, create 
efficiency and deliver to our customers what they 
want and need to improve their experience with us. 

However, we are mindful of return on investment 
from technology spend and will continue to invest 
prudently.

During the year, we continued to improve customer 
experience through capable digital implementation 
and supporting customer transition from branch 
to digital channel.  An example includes our roll 
out of a digital identification solution that allows 
customers to meet identification requirements 
using their mobile device without having to visit a 
branch or Australia Post. The solution also helps us 
mitigate fraud via a ‘liveliness’ test that ensures the 
legitimacy of the customer.    

We also enhanced our Bundaberg-based Customer 
Hub with additional technologies to maximise 
service levels and opportunities in order to grow our 
customer base over-the-phone and via online and 
partnership origination.  A significant focus for our 
Customer Hub and the bank as a whole has been 
to improve our customer retention capability and 
early intervention that is particularly important in a 
competitive market.  

Our core banking system upgrade is targeted for late 
2020.  We expect to make considerable headway in 
our digital capability with a number of projects set to 
be delivered. 

Efficiency 

Apart from seeking efficiency through technology, we 
continue to review our products and processes.

In particular, this year we have reduced the 
processing cost per loan while consistently providing 
very good turnaround times.

In May 2019, we initiated a Broker Journey Review 
by engaging with mortgage brokers who helped us 
identify key areas that would deliver efficiency as 
well as a better customer and broker experience.  
Since then, a raft of technology and process 
optimisation initiatives have been progressively 
rolled out and we have consistently improved our 
turnaround times delivering an average of five 
business days to decision since February 2020.

This year, we also commenced testing of ‘just in 
time’ customer experience surveys with a goal 
of understanding our customer experiences and 
identifying additional areas of improvement for our 
products and processes.

We continued our simplification program with the 
conversion of multiple legacy products and the 
winding up of products and product features that we 
considered are low value.   This also supports our 
risk and compliance management given increasingly 
more complex product compliance requirements 

such as Open Banking and product Design and 
Distribution Obligations in the year ahead.

Strength 

We have maintained our focus on strengthening the 
bank by enhancing staff capabilities through our 
learning and development program and by fostering 
the right culture that continues to balance our 
stakeholder demands.

We ensured continued focus on incident reporting, 
reducing errors, developing risk audit processes, 
enhancing cyber risk resilience and building our 
fraud detection capability.

We revamped our customer feedback and dispute 
resolution processes to ensure timely and effective 
responses.

Non-Organic Growth

We continue to review potential merger and 
acquisition, fintech and other partnering 
opportunities as an opportunity to grow scale and 
this remains an important part of our strategy.

Social Responsibility

We are very conscious 
of the impacts that our 
business activities have 
on people and the world 
around us. 

Our People

We are passionate about increasing professional 
and personal development of the teams 
responsible for managing our relationships.

Our learning and development program is 
designed to improve the knowledge and 
capability of our staff and to support them in 
carrying out their roles effectively and efficiently.

We maintain a number of human resource 
policies to assist our people to act responsibly, 
to protect them and our customers, and in which 
they commit to helping us meet our obligations.  
In working together, we ask that our people 
understand and commit to our Mission, Vision 
and Values – EMPOWER.

We also continue to adopt strategies to improve on 
the social and emotional health and wellbeing of our 
people by playing our role in keeping our employees 
engaged, healthy and productive both at work and in 
their everyday life.  In particular, the support of our 
people during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a 
significant focus for us.

SUSTAINABILITY

Conduct and Ethics

We are committed to 
achieving outstanding 
customer service, 
performance standards 
and returns to provide 
value to our shareholders. 
In achieving these outcomes, we always strive to not 
compromise our values, ethics and principles.

Under our Code of Conduct and Ethics, we ask all 
our employees and business partners to demonstrate 
honesty, integrity and trust in all their dealings.  We 
ask them to set an example for others to follow. We 
also seek to recognise those that demonstrate these 
positive behaviours.  

We encourage our people to speak up without fear of 
retribution when these behaviours are threatened or are 
compromised.  Our Whistle-blower Protection Policy allows 
employees to make confidential, anonymous submissions 
regarding any misconduct or dishonest or illegal activity 
that has occurred.

We seek to comply with relevant laws in relation to 
workplace conditions.  This includes supporting diversity 
in the workplace and a zero tolerance for any form of 
discrimination or harassment.

We are also committed to developing, maintaining and 
improving systems and processes to avoid being complicit 
in human rights violations.  In 2019/20, in keeping with 
the Modern Slavery Act 2018, we undertook actions 
to mitigate the potential for our activities to indirectly 
support slavery and human trafficking. This included 
identifying and reviewing agreements with high-risk 
suppliers and developing policies and processes which are 
designed to assist us to identify, assess and mitigate this 
risk.

Our Customers

Our desire to grow our business is underpinned 
by positive customer experiences, loyalty and 
advocacy as well as supporting customers in 
socially responsible ways. 

Financial Wellbeing

Apart from providing products and services that 
help our customers manage their finances, we are 
committed to supporting their overall financial 
wellness.   Our products can also help them grow 
their wealth for tomorrow or we can arrange to 
provide protection to insure their assets against 
unexpected loss.

We have never been more conscious of supporting 
the financial wellbeing of our customers than 
through the COVID-19 pandemic where some of 
our customers were left concerned about their 
finances and financial future. This includes changes 
to superannuation, investments and government 
benefits, job changes and losses and impacts on 
household budgets. 

Apart from the measures we adopted to support 
loan customers, we directed customers towards 
Government support and provided access to other 
resources that helped them to make appropriate 
financial decisions.   

Through our partner National Seniors Australia, 
we directed our senior customers to the Older 
Australians COVID-19 Support Hotline (1800 171 
866) launched in conjunction with the Federal 
Government Department of Health.  The Hotline 
is available to seniors needing a listening ear, a 
friendly voice or help on what COVID-19 means for 
their circumstances. 

For customers seeking more personalised financial 
advice, we were able to direct customers to our 
partners at Alliance Wealth and Financial Advice 
Matters (FAM).  FAM have also been supporting 
employers with financial wellness education for 
workplaces. 

Complaints & Dispute Resolution

We see feedback, including complaints, as an 
opportunity to help and understand our customers 
and to improve our products, procedures and 
services.  Effective resolution means we also retain 
customers who might otherwise go elsewhere.

Our Complaints Management Policy and dispute 
resolution process includes assignment of 
responsibility, full transparency and a commitment 
to agreed resolution timeframes.

We are also a member of the Australian Financial 
Complaints Authority for when complaints remain 
unresolved. 

Responsible Lending

As an Australian Credit Licensee and under the 
National Consumer Credit Protection Act (NCCP), 
we will always seek to meet our responsible lending 
obligations.  

To achieve this our credit approval processes 

include making reasonable enquiries about the 
consumer and making a preliminary assessment 
whether the proposed credit is “not unsuitable” for 
the consumer. 

These responsible lending obligations are 
incorporated into our lending policies and 
procedures and relevant staff are required to 
participate in appropriate training.

Financial Hardship 

We maintain policies and procedures to support 
borrowers who may be unable to meet their 
obligations under a credit contract due to illness, 
unemployment, natural disasters, pandemic events 
such as COVID19 or another reasonable cause.

We assess and manage hardship applications by 
working with the customer to arrive at a reasonable 
solution to assist them to overcome their hardship.

Our Community

We originated in regional Queensland communities 
and community is part of our DNA.  Where possible, 
we support community organisations and events 
through our Community Grant Scheme and we 
actively encourage our staff to support worthy 
causes.

In 2019/20 we participated in events such as the 
Central Queensland University Open Day and the 
Fraser Coast Expo, and supported causes such 
as the Queensland and New South Wales Bushfire 
Appeals;  Jeans for Genes Day, R U OK Day, Breast 
Cancer Awareness, Movember, NAIDOC Week and 
the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal.

We also launched our Community Rewards 
program designed to financially benefit not-for-
profit organisations who provide referrals to us 
through their network of members and supporters.

Our Environment 

We are very conscious of our impact on the 
environment, our community’s expectations and the 
need to set an example to other businesses.

As a responsible corporate citizen, we understand 
our responsibility to reduce our environmental 
impact and be transparent about our environmental 
approaches and performance. 

We are conscious 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 customer’s place of work, impacting on 
their ability to meet loan repayments.  Increased 
likelihood of disasters such as flood or fire 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.

We proactively seek to reduce our environmental 
footprint through secure destruction and recycling 
of documents; promoting digital alternatives such 
as eStatements; utilising energy efficient lighting 
and switching off air-conditioning and electrical 
appliances when not in use. 

We do not finance companies engaged principally 
in the exploration, mining, manufacture or export 
of thermal coal or coal seam gas and we do not 
intentionally invest directly in companies specialising 
in these areas. 

During 2020/21 we will develop a sustainable 
environmental policy and associated targets.

Managing Risk

In protecting our 
operations and 
stakeholders, we have a 
comprehensive risk and 
compliance management 
program to actively 
identify and eliminate risk 
where possible, and to 
mitigate and minimise the 
impact of those risks that 
cannot be eliminated.  

Strengthening our risk management approach is a 
high priority with a strong Board oversight of the 
risk profile and risk management, particularly with 
reference to the Board determined risk appetite.

Our Risk Management Framework is underpinned by 
the ‘three lines of defence’ risk management model 
with accountabilities for risk ownership (the ‘first 

line’), functional oversight (the ‘second line’) and 
assurance (the ‘third line’).  

Compliance

Following various commissions of enquiry over 
recent years, the regulatory landscape is increasingly 
complex for our sector.  We are working hard 
to remain compliant across the broad range of 
obligations and expectations.

We maintain a range of internal policies and 
processes that help us ensure compliance and which  
support good governance.

In 2020/21, the Open Banking regime will create 
further compliance obligations and challenges, but 
also provide us with opportunities in the future.  

Business Continuity

We strive to maintain a minimum level of operational 
capacity including the provision of services for 
key stakeholders by minimising the impact that a 
disruptive event could have on the viability of our 
organisation and provision of customer services. 

Our Business Continuity framework includes 
ensuring the welfare of our personnel and customers; 
protecting our reputation; maintaining customer 
satisfaction; enhancing organisational stability; 
reducing risk exposures and potential economic 
losses; minimising legal liabilities and anticipating 
and satisfying future regulatory requirements.

Data Security

Privacy 

We are committed to protecting the data we hold and 
manage, particularly in a digital world.

We have embedded a culture of privacy in keeping 
with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Our IT security risk management framework 
addresses our approach to managing data security 
through a range of policies, standards, guidelines 
and procedures.   This framework is based on 
clearly defined security principles and defined roles 
and responsibilities to ensure the achievement of 
effective IT and data security risk management 
outcomes.

Risk assessments are completed regularly and 
applicable controls and security vulnerabilities are 
assessed regularly using various monitoring and 
testing techniques.

Our Privacy Policy is our commitment to customers, 
while our Privacy Management Plan provides a 
framework to ensure we are able to meet that 
commitment.

All our people are provided with privacy training to 
understand obligations and considerations relevant 
to identifying, assessing and managing privacy risks.

DIRECTORS’ 
STATUTORY 
REPORT FOR 
THE YEAR 
ENDED 30 JUNE 
2020

Review and results of operations

The continued successful implementation of our strategy 
has led to a further year of strong operational performance 
for the company with improvement across all key 
performance areas. We have continued to achieve success 
in balancing our funding costs with our lending growth 
despite a low growth and highly competitive market and we 
will continue to invest for growth and improved customer 
outcomes.

COVID-19 has had a material impact on some of our 
customers and we have provided support as we assist 
these customers work through the challenges the 
pandemic has created. Consequently, our statutory Net 
Profit After Tax (NPAT) has been impacted as we have 
prudently provisioned for possible impacts to our loan 
book. Nonetheless, business momentum has been strong, 
funding costs materially improving and the bank has 
improved profitability for a further year.

Strategically the environment has led us to re-consider 
our Business Banking growth strategy. Subsequently we 
have withdrawn from new customer acquisition and have 
reduced our resources in the area. Future focus will be on 
servicing our existing customers. This will allow greater 
attention to areas identified as future growth opportunities 
for the organisation.

Results

Our financial results are strong.

NPAT (adjusted for the increase in expected credit loss 
assumptions adopted due to the effects of COVID-19) 
for the consolidated entity for financial year 2019/20 
was $20.114m. Specific forward looking macroeconomic 
environment adjustments of $2.3m to expected credit 
losses have been excluded and no other adjustments have 
been made to statutory profit. This corresponding figure in 
the prior year was $17.201m. This represents an increase 
of 16.9%.

The statutory consolidated NPAT for the 2019/20 financial 
year was $18.504m compared to the result of $17.201m 
for the 2018/19 year. This represents an increase of 7.6%.

The loan book of Auswide Bank Ltd (grossed up for 
Investments in Managed Investment Schemes reported 
in Other financial assets in the Statement of Financial 
Position) increased from $3.131b at 30 June 2019 to 
$3.266b at 30 June 2020, an increase of $135m. This 
represents growth of 4.3% for the 2019/20 financial 
year. The loan book growth compares favourably with the 
Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Financial Aggregates 
data which discloses credit provided to the private sector 

increased by 2.9% over the 12 months to June 2020.

Digital branch and automation

Arrears and collections

Home loan settlements across the financial year totalled 
$677.180m, an increase of 9.93% on the $616.036m in 
home loan settlements for 2019/20.

Net Interest Margin

The Net Interest Margin (NIM) has been strongly managed 
and despite interest rates at historic lows and the 
continuance of highly competitive housing finance markets 
across the 2019/20 financial year our NIM improved. 
Uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 has also added 
to margin pressure. In order to achieve stable or improving 
NIM, the bank closely monitors the competitive pricing of 
products and continues to proactively manage assets and 
liabilities.

The net interest margin for the 2019/20 year was 1.97% 
compared to 1.87% in the 2018/19 financial year.

Consumer lending

The consumer lending portfolio increased from $62.312m 
at 30 June 2019 to $80.508m at 30 June 2020, an 
increase of $18.196m. The growth in consumer lending 
has contributed significantly to the operating results of the 
Company, with $6.459m in interest income derived from 
the portfolio in the financial year.

Deposits and funding

Customer deposits have increased significantly during 
the year from $2.373b at 30 June 2019 to $2.620b, 
an increase of $247m. This has increased the level of 
customer deposits as a percentage of total funding base 
from 71.45% at 30 June 2019 to 74.51% at 30 June 
2020.

Auswide Bank has utilised the RBA term funding facility 
(TFF) by drawing $49.793m in two tranches by 30 June 
2020. There are plans to further utilise this funding source 
by drawing a further $40m by September 2020, which will 
take the total funding utilised by Auswide Bank to its limit 
of $90m. The funding under this facility is locked in at a 
rate of 0.25% for a period of three years.

The increase in customer deposits and utilisation of the 
RBA TFF has allowed Auswide Bank to diversify its funding 
sources and further reduce its reliance on securitisation 
funding.

Customers 

The review of the Broker home lending business has 
continued to improve the customer experience and end to 
end processes and operations. There have been significant 
improvements in the volume of applications processed and 
the average days to decision on loan files throughout the 
financial year.

Ongoing investment in the Broker business technology 
includes artificial intelligence learning to analyse, validate, 
redact and categorise documents and improved document 
management systems.

Technology

The upgrade of the core banking system is on schedule 
for completion in Q1 of FY21. This will enable the Open 
Banking processes and services which commence in 
October 2020 as well as providing the platform for the bank 
to advance the payments and on-line services provided to 
customers.

The Auswide Bank branch network delivers a customised 
service within the Queensland footprint. The strategic goal 
is to create an end-to-end digital banking experience and 
the bank has initiated projects to deliver online application 
capabilities to provide services to customers Australia wide.

Total arrears greater than 30 days past due (excluding the 
effects of hardship accounts) decreased from $14.302m 
to $12.559m. Arrears have decreased as a percentage of 
the Group’s total loan book from 0.46% at 30 June 2019 to 
0.39% at 30 June 2020.

Key components of the digital banking strategy are:

Support for customers during COVID-19

•  the Apply program which allows existing and new 

customers to apply for Auswide Bank products online;

•  the Interact program to provide solutions that satisfy the 

“digital savvy” customer interaction expectations;

•  the Transact program which provides customers with a 
new digital experience for their day-to-day transacting 
activities; and

•  the Personalise program which provides a method to 

have a deeper understanding of customers’ wants and 
needs and delivers at exactly the right moment.

Capital

The capital adequacy ratio for the Auswide Bank Group 
at 30 June 2020 was 12.95% (2019: 13.79%). The 
tier 1 capital ratio at 30 June 2020 was 11.09% (2019: 
11.76%). The capital remains materially above the Board’s 
capital targets and meets APRA’s unquestionably strong 
minimums.

The final dividend for FY20 will be accompanied by 
a Dividend Reinvestment Plan and the bank will be 
completing a tier 2 Subordinated Debt placement in Q1 
of FY21 which will further strengthen the group’s capital 
position.

Principal activities and significant changes

Auswide Bank Ltd is an approved deposit-taking institution 
and licensed credit and financial 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.

Lending Outlook

The growth in the loan book across FY20 is expected to 
be strong across the first half of FY21. This growth will 
be assisted by Auswide Bank’s participation in the First 
Home Loan Deposit Scheme. This scheme allows eligible 
borrowers to be able to apply for loan funding with higher 
than usual loan to valuation ratios without the requirement 
to pay the lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) because up 
to 15% of the value of the property being purchased that is 
financed can be covered via federal government guarantee.

Branch network

The Company has a diversified branch network consisting 
of 18 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.

The bank maintained a focus on supporting customers 
and staff during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. All 
branches remained open and office staff worked remotely 
where possible until restrictions were eased across 
Queensland.

Customers were assisted with repayment deferrals and 
interest only conditions to assist during this period of 
uncertainty and financial stress.

Support was provided to 1,014 account holders 
representing a total loan value of $288m or 9% of the total 
loan book. There were 926 residential loan accounts valued 
at $275m (9%), 40 Business Banking accounts totalling 
$12m (16%) and 48 personal loan accounts amounting to 
$1m (4%) which were in receipt of supportive measures.

Of the loans receiving assistance, Queensland represented 
74% or 787 loans ($212m). New South Wales accounted 
for 14% or 102 loans ($41m) and Victoria represented 8% 
of the total, or 87 loans ($23m) which were in receipt of 
support. The remainder was allocated to loans across other 
states.

In preparation for the end of the deferral period, Auswide 
staff are personally contacting customers to discuss the 
current status of the loans and assistance offered. Early 
trends indicate that more than 85%of customers have 
already commenced repayments or will resume regular 
loan repayments at the end of the deferral period.

The Board is satisfied 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 higher risk locations, products or services.

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 the opportunity 
presents itself and the Board will review any offers made 
which may complement the overall operations of the Group.

share was declared and paid on 16 March 2020 (25 March 
2019: 16.0 cents).

A fully franked final dividend of 10.75 cents per ordinary 
share has been declared by the Board and will be paid on 
18 September 2020 (20 September 2019: 18.5 cents).

The Board has adopted a conservative approach to the final 
dividend recognising current uncertainties and stresses in 
the market. Guidance from APRA that ADIs seek to retain 
at least half of their earnings when making decisions on 
capital distributions has also been taken into consideration 
in declaring the final dividend.

Going concern

The Board of Directors of Auswide Bank have assessed that 
the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate, 
with no material uncertainty.

The strength of the financial results for H1 of FY20 
continued across H2 reflecting robust operations during 
Q4. Despite the impacts of COVID-19 in the 4 months 
for June 2020, the FY20 NPAT was $18.504m, up 7.6% 
on the $17.201m reported for FY19. The underlying 
NPAT (excluding the COVID-19 related provisions) was 
$20.114m, up 16.9% on the $17.201m for FY19. There 
are also indicators to support confidence in operations for 
FY21, including forecast performance and cash flows, as 
well as actual loan flows, NIM maintenance and expense 
management in July 2020.

Liquidity also remains strong, with various facilities 
available to be utilised if required. COVID-19 has not had a 
material impact on Auswide’s ability to perform its banking 
activities, with branches remaining open and lending 
business continuing with no significant issues experienced.

Any loan contract changes relating to COVID-19 have not 
resulted in any material impact to ongoing operations or 
performance.

Despite the economic impact of COVID-19, Auswide has 
performed well and expects that this will continue; the 
Board of Directors have therefore been able to assess that 
Auswide Bank remains a going concern.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

There has been no other matter or circumstance since the 
end of the financial year that will significantly affect the 
results of operations in future years or the state of affairs 
of the Company. However, the Board of Directors continues 
to remain vigilant of any unforeseen risks which may arise 
as a result of rapidly evolving situations arising from the 
economic impact of COVID-19.

Remuneration report

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

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

•  appropriately balanced measures of performance 

weighted KPIs towards long-term shareholder interests;

•  variable performance based pay for Senior Executives 

including a short term incentive and a long-term 
incentive plan subject to an extended period of 
performance assessment. Short-term and long-
term incentives performance criteria are aligned to 
performance measures and targets based on a number 
of differently weighted criteria including financial, 
sustainability including risk and compliance gateways, 
staff and customer focused and satisfaction of BEAR 
accountability obligations;

•  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; and

•  the exercise of Board discretion as an ultimate means 

to mitigate unintended consequences of variable 
remuneration and to preserve the interests of 
shareholders.

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 profitability. 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 benefit on retirement or resignation (other than 
superannuation) and do not participate in any variable STI 
or LTI share based remuneration.

Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel (KMP) are defined as persons 
having authority and responsibility for planning, directing 
and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or 
indirectly, including any Director (whether Senior Executive 
or otherwise) of the entity. As such, the KMP comprises of 
the non-Executive Directors, the Managing Director and 
directly reporting Senior Executives.

Managing Director

The Managing Director’s remuneration package includes 
fixed annual remuneration, variable remuneration in short-
term and long-term incentives, benefits, superannuation, 
retirement and termination compensation as determined 
by the Board on the advice of the Board Remuneration 
Committee (the Committee). At its discretion, the 
Committee will seek external advice on the appropriate 
level and structure of the Managing Director’s total 
remuneration package.

remuneration arrangements for the Managing Director with 
due consideration to the law and corporate governance 
provisions to ensure that:

•  there are sufficiently robust performance measures and 

targets that encourage superior performance and ethical 
accountable behaviour;

•   that the performance of the Managing Director is 

measured against individual and company targets; and

•   any new or varied contract is disclosed in accordance 

with any governance, accounting and legal requirements.

Remuneration of the Managing Director for 2019/20 was 
subject to review and recommendation of the Remuneration 
Committee and ratification by the Board.

Senior Executives / Key Personnel

The remuneration packages of the Senior Executives 
who report directly to the Managing Director, including 
Executive Directors, and any other Responsible Persons 
(as defined by APRA’s Prudential Standards), Accountable 
Persons (as defined by BEARS) and any other key persons 
considered by Auswide Bank to be in a role with material 
influence, are reviewed and recommended to the Board on 
the recommendations of the Committee and the Managing 
Director.

Similarly, the Committee and Managing Director may seek 
external advice on the appropriate level and structure of 
the Senior Executives remuneration packages.

An annual review and recommendations to the Board in 
relation to the remuneration structure will apply to Senior 
Executives to:

•  establish and maintain a process to set robust 

performance measures and targets that encourage 
superior executive performance and ethical behaviour; 
and

•  oversee the process for the measurement and 

assessment of performance.

The remuneration for Senior Executives in 2019/20 was 
subject to ratification by the Remuneration Committee.

Remuneration Reward Framework

Auswide Bank’s Remuneration Reward framework includes 
a range of components to focus the Managing Director 
and Senior Executives on achieving Auswide Bank’s 
strategy and business objectives. Auswide Bank’s overall 
philosophy is to adopt, where possible, a performance 
based methodology using a balanced scorecard which 
links remuneration to the Bank’s financial results and non-
financial criteria.

The Remuneration Reward framework is designed to:

•  reward those who deliver the highest relative 

performance consistent with Auswide Bank’s incentive 
programs;

•  attract, recognise, motivate and retain high performers;

•  provide competitive, fair and consistent rewards, benefits 

and conditions; and

•  align the interests of Senior Executives and shareholders 
through variable remuneration - short term incentives 
(STI) and long term incentives (LTI) performance rights 
with deferred vesting.

On an annual basis, a review will be performed of the 

In setting an individual’s Remuneration Reward framework, 

the Committee considers:

•  input from Auswide Bank’s Managing Director on the 
balanced scorecard for Senior Executives who report 
directly to the Managing Director;

•  market data from comparable roles in the financial 

services industry;

•  individual and Auswide Bank’s performance; and

•  external remuneration advice, where necessary.

Each individual’s actual remuneration will reflect:

•  the degree of individual achievement in meeting 

key performance measures under the performance 
management framework and balanced scorecard;

•   parameters approved by the Board based on Auswide 

Bank’s financial and risk performance and other 
qualitative factors;

•   satisfaction of ‘Accountability Obligations’ under section 

37CA of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Banking 
Executive Accountability and Related Measures) Act 
2018 for the vesting of any Performance Rights;

•  Auswide Bank’s Earnings per Share (EPS) and Return on 

Equity (ROE) over a defined period; and

•   the timing and level of vesting of Performance Rights and 

deferral of shares.

Components of the Remuneration Reward framework

The components of the Remuneration Reward framework 
consists of the following:

•  Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR) provided as cash and 
any contracted additional benefits (including employer 
superannuation);

•  variable remuneration in cash based short-term 

incentives (STI) reflecting both individual and business 
performance for the current financial year that supports 
the longer term strategic objectives of Auswide Bank; 
and

•  variable remuneration in equity based long-term 

incentives (LTI) provided to drive management decisions 
focused on the long-term prosperity of Auswide Bank 
through the use of challenging long term performance 
hurdles (EPS & ROE) and satisfaction of accountability 
obligations under BEAR.

Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentives (STI)

Each year, key performance indicators including financial 
and non-financial measures (KPIs) for the Managing 
Director are set by the Board Remuneration Committee and 
approved by the Board. The Managing Director sets KPIs 
for the Senior Executives which is presented to the Board 
Remuneration Committee for approval.

The STI is a maximum contracted value calculated as a 
percentage of the FAR and is payable annually in respect of 
each financial year as cash. Payment of STI 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 Senior Executive reward 
and the key business drivers of long term shareholder 
value. The KPls are measured relating to the Bank’s 
financial performance and non-financial performance 
accountabilities and objectives. The measures are chosen 
and weighted to best align the individual’s reward to the 

KPls of the Company and its overall performance. KPls are 
weighted towards the achievement of profit growth targets.

The financial performance objectives are determined in 
line with the yearly financial budget set and approved by 
the Board. The non-financial objectives vary with position 
and responsibility and include measures such as achieving 
strategic outcomes, customer results, sustainability which 
includes compliance and support of the Company’s risk 
management policies and culture, customer satisfaction, 
communication and staff development.

Impact of individual performance on STI rewards 

At the end of the financial year, the Committee assesses the 
actual performance of the Bank and the Managing Director 
against the KPI balanced scorecard set at the beginning 
of the financial year. Based upon that assessment, a 
recommendation is made to the Board Remuneration 
Committee as to the STI payment.

Impact of Business Performance on STI rewards 

Payment of an STI to the Managing Director and Senior 
Executives is at the complete discretion of the Board and 
can be adjusted downwards to zero, if necessary, to protect 
the financial soundness of the Company and taking into 
account a qualitative overlay that reflects Auswide Bank’s 
management of business risks, shareholder expectations 
and quality of the financial results - e.g. at a minimum 
to ensure that no breach of capital adequacy or liquidity 
policy thresholds occurs.

For the purposes of calculating the STI pool each year, the 
financial performance of Auswide Bank is determined by 
a mix of targeted financial earnings, EPS and ROE. These 
measures reasonably capture the effects of a number of 
material risks and minimise actions that promote short-
term results at the expense of longer-term business growth 
and success.

STI Risk Adjustment 

STI reward outcomes can be adjusted for risk at a number 
of levels.

Individual Scorecards - Senior Executives will have specific 
risk related measures related to their role included in their 
scorecard and are aligned with the Risk Appetite Statement 
where appropriate.

Compliance Gateway - Senior Executives must support 
Auswide Bank’s risk and compliance culture. Individuals 
who do not pass the compliance expectations of their role 
will have their STI reduced in part, or in full, depending on 
the severity of the breach.

Risk Adjustment of Business Outcomes - whilst 
performance is assessed against compliance with the 
agreed risk measures and Risk appetite, the Committee 
may recommend to the Board an adjustment of the 
financial outcomes upon which STI rewards are determined 
based on a qualitative overlay that reflects the Auswide 
Bank’s management of business risks, shareholder 
expectations and the quality of the financial results.

Serious Breach of Duty 

The Board also has discretion to adjust the STI payment 
down (potentially to zero) in the event that the Managing 
Director or a Senior Executive commits a serious breach of 
duty including their accountability obligations under BEAR.

If the results on which any STI reward was based are 
subsequently found by the Board to have been the subject 
of deliberate management misstatement, the Board may 
require repayment of the relevant STI, in addition to any 
other disciplinary actions.

Short Term Incentive payments relating to the financial 
year ended 30 June 2019 

Performance based payments were made to Senior 
Executives under the STI scheme as an incentive payment 
to recognise and reward the achievement of KPI targets 
relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2019. Cash 
payments were paid on the 03 October 2019, and allocated 
to Senior Executives as follows;

•  Mr MJ Barrett (Managing Director): $60,000;

•  Mr WR Schafer (Chief Financial Officer): $18,563;

•  Mr SM Caville (Chief Information Officer) (cease date 

17/04/2020): $12,052;

•  Mr D Hearne (Chief Customer Officer): $15,308;

•  Mrs GM Job (Chief People and Property Officer): 

$12,086;

•  Mr CA Lonergan (Chief Risk Officer): $12,270; and

•  Mr MS Rasmussen (Chief Operating Officer): $12,692.

Long term Incentive (LTI) - Performance Rights Plan 
(PRP) 

The Auswide Bank Performance Rights Plan (PRP) was 
established by the Board to encourage the Executive 
Management Team, comprising of the Managing Director 
and Senior Executives, to drive the long-term prosperity 
of Auswide Bank and have a greater involvement in the 
achievement of the Bank’s objectives.

Offers under the Performance Rights Plan 

Under the PRP invitation, an offer may be made to 
members of the Executive Management Team each year as 
determined by the Board. The maximum value of the offer 
is determined in the executive’s contract. The maximum 
value of the LTI is up to the maximum contracted amount 
for the Managing Director and up to the contracted 
percentage or fixed amount for the Senior Executives.

The number of performance rights granted will be 
calculated based on the volume weighted average price 
of Auswide Bank shares over the first five trading days 
following the release of Auswide Bank’s annual results 
announcement (exclusive of announcement date).

Each performance right will entitle the Senior Executive 
to receive one Auswide Bank share upon vesting (or the 
cash equivalent value), subject to the satisfaction of the 
vesting conditions over the vesting period. To the extent 
that performance rights vest, the relevant number of shares 
will be allocated. Shares allocated following vesting will be 
subject to a disposal and trading restriction until the fourth 
anniversary of the grant date (the restriction period).

Performance rights do not give the Senior Executive any 
legal or beneficial interest in any shares unless and until 

they are vested and shares are delivered or allocated. They 
will not receive any dividends or other shareholder benefits, 
including voting in respect of their performance rights.

The PRP provides for the Trustee of the Auswide Bank Ltd 
employee share trust to acquire, allocate and hold shares, 
as relevant. The Trustee is funded by the Company to 
acquire shares, as directed by the Board, either by way of 
purchase from other shareholders on market, or issue by 
the Company.

Upon vesting, the Trustee will allocate shares to each 
member of the Senior Executive Team. Any shares to be 
allocated to the Managing Director under this Plan may 
require prior shareholder approval in accordance with ASX 
Listing Rules.

Vesting of performance rights 

In general, performance rights will vest on the vesting date 
based on satisfaction of the following vesting conditions:

•  achievement of the applicable performance 

measurements and conditions over the vesting period; 
and

•  continued employment with a Group member until the 

vesting date (provided the Senior Executive has not given 
notice of resignation and has not received a notice of 
termination of employment).

The PRP invitation offer letter provides for the allocation 
to the Senior Executive Team of fully paid ordinary shares 
in the Bank upon vesting of performance rights where 
accountability obligations, performance and vesting 
conditions specified by the Board are satisfied over a set 
vesting period. In addition, a further restriction period will 
apply to the shares following vesting and during this period, 
the accountability obligation must be satisfied, otherwise 
shares may be clawed back, the vesting period and 
restriction period will be outlined in the PRP invitation offer 
letter and will be in line with any deferred remuneration 
obligations under BEAR for Accountable Persons.

Both the vesting period and restriction period are set by the 
Board at the time of offer and are at its absolute discretion.

Satisfaction of conditions - accountability obligations 

Vesting of performance rights will be subject to obligations 
that apply to ‘Accountable Persons’ under section 37CA 
of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Banking Executive 
Accountability and Related Measures) Act 2018, which are 
to:

•  act with honesty, integrity, and with due skill, care and 

diligence;

•  deal with APRA in an open, constructive and cooperative 

way; and

•  take reasonable steps in conducting business to prevent 
matters from arising that would adversely affect the 
ADI’s prudential standard or reputation.

In addition, during the Restriction Period, the obligations 
must also be satisfied, otherwise shares may be clawed 
back.

Testing of vesting performance measurements and 
conditions on PRP offers 2019

Testing of the performance measurements and conditions 
will occur shortly after the end of the vesting period (which 
will normally occur once the full year annual results have 
been finalised). Based on the testing results, and provided 
the Senior Executive remains employed with the Bank until 
vesting date (being the date on which Board determines 
that the vesting conditions are met), the number of rights 
that will be eligible to vest (if any) will be determined by the 
Board.

Upon vesting of performance rights, the Senior Executive 
will be allocated the relevant number of shares in respect of 
vested performance rights (or receive the cash equivalent 
value). The number of shares received may be adjusted in 
certain circumstances (such as if the Company undertakes 
a consolidation, bonus issue or capital reconstruction) as 
set out in the PRP rules.

The Board retains discretion to adjust the number of 
performance rights which vest down (including to zero) to 
protect the financial soundness of the Company, including 
to ensure that breaches of capital adequacy or liquidity 
policy thresholds do not occur. In addition, any reward 
payable to any member of the Senior Executive Team under 
any PRP offer is subject to reassessment and possible 
forfeiture, if the results on which the LTI reward was 
based, are subsequently found to have been the subject of 
deliberate management misstatement.

to the resultant equity price risk before the equity-linked 
remuneration is fully vested and able to be sold for cash by 
the recipient.

Any person who breaches this requirement will constitute 
a breach of duty and as such will involve disciplinary action 
and the risk of dismissal under the terms of the Executive’s 
contract.

Treatment of performance rights in other circumstances 
in PRP offers 2019

If a Senior Executive ceases employment prior to the 
vesting date, the treatment of unvested performance rights 
will depend on the circumstances of cessation.

Where employment is ceased prior to the relevant vesting 
date due to resignation, termination for cause or gross 
misconduct, all of the unvested performance rights will 
lapse at cessation (subject to the Board’s discretion to 
apply a different treatment, in accordance with the PRP 
rules).

Where employment is ceased for any other reason before 
performance rights vest, a pro-rata number of unvested 
performance rights (based on the vesting period elapsed) 
will continue “on-foot”, and will be tested at the original 
vesting date and vest to the extent that the relevant vesting 
conditions have been satisfied (ignoring any service-related 
conditions). Note that the PRP rules provide the Board with 
discretion to determine that a different treatment should 
apply in respect of performance rights.

Restriction period for sale of shares once vested on PRP 
offers 2019

The PRP rules also contain provisions in relation to:

•  treatment of awards in the event of a variation of capital 

or a change of control; and

•  treatment of awards due to fraud, gross misconduct or 

material misstatement.

The treatment of awards under the PRP rules will be subject 
to the requirements of the BEAR.

Actual and potential LTI allocations

Share based payment arrangements affecting 
remuneration of key management personnel in the current 
year or future financial years are detailed in the following 
table.

Shares allocated upon vesting of the performance rights 
will be subject to trading restrictions until the end of the 
restriction period which is generally the fourth anniversary 
of the grant date.

However, the restriction period may end earlier in certain 
circumstances including:

•  the date on which the Board determines an Event has 

occurred (refer rule 11 of the PRP Rules), subject to the 
requirements of the BEAR accountability obligations; and

•  any other date determined by the Board, subject to the 

requirements of BEAR.

Senior Executives cannot sell, transfer or otherwise deal 
with their shares until the end of the restriction period. 
During this period, Senior Executives will still be entitled 
to receive dividends and exercise their voting rights along 
with other shareholders.

The trading restriction may be enforced during the 
restriction period by either imposing a holding lock on 
the shares held by the Senior Executive or by the shares 
being held in the employee share trust on behalf the Senior 
Executive.

Shares will remain subject to the requirements of the BEAR 
throughout the restriction period, including the ability for 
the Board to clawback shares if there is a failure to meet 
“Accountability Obligations”.

Prohibition from Hedging 

The Board Remuneration Policy prohibits persons covered 
by paragraph 57(a) of APRA Prudential Standard CPS510

remuneration from hedging their economic exposures

Loans to key management personnel

Equity holdings and transactions

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 offered by the Company and charged at rates 
available to the general public; therefore, this interest rate would approximate an arm’s length interest rate offered by the 
Company.

In addition, loans to staff 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 officers and auditors

This Report is signed for and on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

During the financial year the Company has paid premiums to cover Directors and officers 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 officers 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 2020, 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 satisfied 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:

Services provided in connection with:

Tax advisory services

Consulting services

 1  GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 

Reporting entity

Auswide Bank Ltd (the Company) is a for-profit listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The 
consolidated financial statements of Auswide Bank Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2020 comprises Auswide Bank Ltd and 
its subsidiaries (the Group or the Consolidated Entity).

1.2 

Statement of compliance

The financial statements are general purpose financial 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 financial statements comply with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

1.3 

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, except for land and 
buildings, hedging instruments, financial instruments held at fair value through profit 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 financial statements are consistent with 
those adopted and disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019, unless otherwise stated.

1.4 

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial 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 affect its returns.

The Company has power when it has rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect 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 effect 
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 financial 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 profits 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 Profit 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 financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

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 Office. 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 flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

1.7 

Application of new and revised Accounting Standards 

1.7.1 

Standards and interpretations that are mandatorily effective for the current year

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

•  AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16)

AASB 16 Leases

The Group applied AASB 16 with a date of initial application of 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, 
under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 July 2019. As a result, the 
Group has changed its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below.

Definition of lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under AASB 117. 
Under AASB 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease.

On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which 
transactions are leases. It applied AASB 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were 
not identified as leases under AASB 117 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a 
lease under AASB 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 July 2019.

Summary of key changes to the accounting policy

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the 
lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. 
Under AASB 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases, as a result, these leases are 
now recognised on-balance sheet.

The Group decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases of less than twelve months. For leases of other 
assets, which were classified as operating under AASB 117, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the 
Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at either:

•  an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments; or

•  their carrying amount as if AASB 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’s 

incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The Group has applied this approach to all leases.

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating 
leases under AASB 117;

•  applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics;

•  applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease 

term; and

•  excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

Impact on the financial statements

On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognised an additional $4.043m of right-of-use assets and $4.907m of lease 
liabilities. The difference of $0.864m has been recognised against opening retained earnings, net of its related deferred tax 
impact of $0.254m resulting in a net decrease in retained earnings of $0.610m on 1 July 2019.

When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. 
The weighted-average rate applied to properties and vehicles on transition was 5.50% and 6.42% respectively.

Comparative figures

The adoption of AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019 resulted in changes to accounting policies and adjustments to the 
amounts recognised in the financial statements. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 16, comparative 
figures have not been restated. A one off adjustment of $0.864m has been recognised against opening retained earnings, 
net of the related tax impact of $0.254m, resulting in a net decrease to retained earnings of $0.610m on 1 July 2019.

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for 
the current financial year.

1.9 

Reclassification of comparative figures

Certain accounts in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 
30 June 2019, which are included in the 2020 financial statements for comparative purposes, have been reclassified to 
conform to the nature of accounts. The significant reclassifications are as follows:

The reclassifications have been made because, in the opinion of management, the new classifications are more appropriate 
to the Company’s business.

1.10 

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The group has net assets of $242m, recorded positive 
operating and total cashflows and has disclosed its liquidity risk management policy in Note 4.4. As a consequence of this, 
the Directors are of the view that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current 
economic climate. Accordingly, they believe the going concern basis is appropriate.

Interest income and interest expense

Interest income and expense for all financial instruments except for those classified 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 profit or loss 
account using the effective interest method.

The effective interest rate (EIR) is the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows of a financial instrument over its 
expected life or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. 
The future cash flows 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 specific lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. For financial assets 
at FVTPL transaction costs are recognised in profit 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 
financial assets (i.e. the amortised cost of the financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance), or to 
the amortised cost of financial liabilities. For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is calculated by applying 
the EIR to the amortised cost of the credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for 
expected credit losses (ECLs)). For financial assets originated or purchased credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR reflects the ECL 
in determining the future cash flows expected to be received from the financial 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 Profit 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 specific lending arrangement and loan syndication fees.

Income from these sources is measured based on the consideration specified 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 specified 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 differences between the 
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial 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 differences, between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial 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 affects neither accounting nor taxable profit 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 profit 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 differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that 
future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised. The 
amount of benefits 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 sufficient future 
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit 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 effect 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 financial 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 agreement.

information 

All land and buildings were revalued as at 4 June 2018 by certified 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.

Financial 
glossary

The Board of Directors have assessed the market and the effects COVID-19 has had on regional Queensland and have 
concluded that the valuations remain appropriate.

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, 

|66
Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

|67
Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

valuations by external independent valuers.

3.1.2 

Lease liabilities

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 flows that 
will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows 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 benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial 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 profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit 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 profit 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 fixed 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 benefits 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 profit 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 classified 
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 finite 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 benefits are expected from use or disposal. 
Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the assets and are taken to profit or loss at the date of derecognition.

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 financial 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 offer for 100% of the ordinary shares in Mackay Permanent Building 
Society Ltd (MPBS).

On 11 January 2008 the Company announced the fulfilment of conditions pertaining to the off-market takeover offer set 
out in the bidder’s statement and gave notice that the offer was unconditional effective 10 January 2008.

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

The financial 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 identifiable 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 benefit 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 first 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 profit 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 
profit 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.

Directors’ 
declaration

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 and a reasonable control premium. The category of this fair value is Level 3 as defined 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 assumptions under this approach are:

•  Price-Earnings (P/E) multiple observed for these businesses, which for the banking businesses were in the range of 11.3-
17.9x. Management has applied P/E multiple of 12x, lower than the historical average, as a most prudent estimate of the 
assumption considering economic impacts of COVID-19.

•  Control premium which based on management’s best estimate informed by independent advice of a professional services 

firm is 20%.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

Under above value of the assumption, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeds its carrying amount by $19m. 
A reasonably possible change in any one of these assumptions can result in the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable 
amount:

•  if all other assumptions remain the same, should the multiples estimate decrease to 11.1x the carrying value will exceed 

the recoverable amount by $0.5m; and

•  if all other assumptions remain the same, should the control premium estimate decrease to 11% the carrying value will 

exceed the recoverable amount by $0.5m.

Effective 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 five years at no interest.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

The Board of Directors resolved to suspend the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in respect of the final dividend for the 
2018/19 financial year, payable on 20 September 2019. The Board resolved to reintroduce the DRP for the interim dividend 
payable on 16 March 2020 for the 2019/20 financial year.

16 March 2020 - 252,231 ordinary shares were issued

Shares issued under the plan rank equally in every respect with existing fully paid permanent ordinary shares and 
participate in all cash dividends declared after the date of issue. The shares issued under the DRP on 16 March 2020 
were issued at a discount of 2.5% on the weighted sale price of the Company’s shares sold during the five trading days 
immediately following the Record Date.

summary

information 

Financial 
glossary

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

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

If the transaction price differs from fair value at initial recognition, the Group will account for such differences 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 difference is recognised in profit or loss on initial 
recognition (i.e. day 1 profit or loss); and

|74
Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

|75
Auswide Bank Annual Report 2020

 
•  in all other cases, the fair value will be adjusted to bring it in line with the transaction price (i.e. day 1 profit 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 profit 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 financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned. Financial assets are initially measured at fair 
value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Transaction costs directly attributable 
to the acquisition of financial assets classified as at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All recognised financial 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 financial assets and the contractual cash flow 
characteristics of the financial assets.

Specifically:

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

that have contractual cash flows 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 flows and 
to sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash flows 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 financial 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 significantly reduces an accounting mismatch (referred to as the fair value option).

Debt instruments at amortised cost or at FVTOCI

The Group assesses the classification and measurement of a financial asset based on the contractual cash flow 
characteristics of the asset and the Group’s business model for managing the asset.

For an asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, its contractual terms should give rise to cash 
flows 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 financial asset at initial recognition. That principal amount may change over the life of the 
financial 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 profit margin. The SPPI assessment is made in the currency in which the financial asset 
is denominated.

Contractual cash flows that are SPPI are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Contractual terms that introduce 
exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows 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 flows that are SPPI. An 
originated or an acquired financial 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 financial assets is fundamental to the classification of a financial asset. 
The Group determines the business models at a level that reflects how groups of financial 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 
reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

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 flows that are not SPPI; or/and

•   assets that are held in a business model other than held to collect contractual cash flows 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 profit or loss.

Equity investments

On initial recognition, the Group classifies 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 reclassified to profit or loss but 
transferred within equity.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the asset’s cash flows expire (including expiry 
arising from a modification with substantially different terms), or when the financial 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 financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also 
recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference 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 profit 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 reclassified to profit or loss.

Reclassifications

If the business model under which the Group holds financial assets changes, the financial assets affected are reclassified. 
The classification and measurement requirements related to the new category apply prospectively from the first day of the 
first reporting period following the change in business model that results in reclassifying the Group’s financial assets. During 
the current financial year and previous accounting period there was no change in the business model under which the 
Group holds financial assets and therefore no reclassifications were made.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or 
financial 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 fixed amount of cash (or another financial asset) for a fixed number of the 
Group’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities. The Group does not have 
any financial liabilities which are classified at FVTPL.

Other financial liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. 
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 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 profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

For details on ECL recognised against loans and advances see Section 4.5 - Credit risk management.

Loans and advances include an amount of $108.8m of which have been issued under the federal government’s First Home 
Loan Deposit Scheme by National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) since 1 January 2020. The scheme 
provides a guarantee for any loan monies above 80% LVR. Auswide Bank has applied to participate in the scheme and is 
limited to issuing loans under the scheme by the number of places that have been allocated by NHFIC, the eligibility criteria 
that has been established and ongoing reporting requirements.

The Group has entered into securitisation transactions on residential mortgage loans that do not qualify for derecognition. 
The special purpose entities established for the securitisations are considered to be controlled in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations. The Company is entitled to any residual income 
of the securitisation program after all payments due to investors and costs of the program have been met; to this extent the 
economic entity retains credit and liquidity risk.

The impact on the Group is an increase in liabilities - Loans under management - of $420.731m (2019: $490.412m). Class 
B notes of $17.992m (2019: $32.386m) which are owned by the Company and which represent the Group’s exposure on 
the securitised mortgages have been eliminated from the consolidated figures.

Market risk management

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, will affect Auswide Bank Ltd’s income or the 
worth of its holdings of financial instruments. The Board’s objective is to manage market risk exposures while optimising the 
return on risk.

Financial 
statements

4.3.1 

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of earnings to Auswide Bank Ltd due to adverse movements in interest rates.

The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for the analysis and management of interest rate risk 
inherent in the balance sheet through balance sheet and financial derivative alternatives. These risks are quantified in the 
Visual Risk Report. The ALCO’s functions and roles include:

Notes to the 
financial 
statements

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

(i) 

 review measures of profitability, particularly net interest and fee income including strategies and directives;

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 buffer 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 profile 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 2020 and 2019 financial years the capital 
adequacy ratios of both the Group and Company were maintained above the target ratio.

The capital adequacy calculations at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 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 specific 
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 specific 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 buffer against these and other exposures.

(ii)  

review management interest rate view as well as asset and liability repricing data;

(iii) 

 receive and review reports from management concerning the organisation’s credit risk;

(iv)   receive and review management reports on interest rate risk against guidelines and limits established in Board policy;

(v) 

 consider and approve pricing on interest bearing assets and liabilities as well as fee revenue attached to these    
products in co-operation with the Product Pricing sub-committee;

(vi)   oversee lending and depositing activities, including the provision of discretion pursuant to Board policies;

(vii) 

 receive and review reports from management regarding significant asset and liability exposure;

(viii)   oversee securitisation activities for the organisation, including recommendations for future securitisation  

transactions;

(ix)   review and maintain liquidity and capital management plans, including contingency measures; and

(x)   make recommendations to the Board on changes to the following policies;

•   Lending;

•   Term Deposits; and

•   Finance related policies (including capital and liquidity).

Directors’ 
statutory 
report

Auditor’s 
independence 
declaration

Financial 
statements

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. These are designated as effective hedges and are accounted for as cash flow 
hedges.

Assets and liabilities arising from the mark-to-market valuation of interest rate swaps are $0.141m and $2.059m 
respectively (2019: $0.589m and $1.332m).

Accounting policies

Cash flow hedges

The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include interest rate swaps, as cash flow 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 effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

Notes to the 
financial 
statements

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated 
and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow 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 profit or loss.

Amounts previously recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when 
the hedged item affects profit 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 reclassified to profit 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 profit 
or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain/loss accumulated in equity is reclassified and 
recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Liquidity risk management

Directors’ 
declaration

Independent 
auditor’s 
report to the 
members of 
Auswide Bank 
Ltd 

Corporate 
governance 
summary

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Group will be unable to meet its financial 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 
flows.

Shareholder 
information 

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 maximum of 25% 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).

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 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 financial guarantees. The Group considers all elements of credit risk exposure such a counterparty default risk, 
geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes.

QUICK 
LINKS >>>

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 define the credit principles, lending 
policies and the decision making processes which control the credit risk of the Company.

Directors’ 
statutory 
report

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 financial institutions, receivables, certificates 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 reflecting similar performance behaviours, based on the Group’s analysis of its loan 
portfolio.

Auditor’s 
independence 
declaration

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 
first mortgages on residential property.

Financial 
statements

The company has a diversified branch network consisting of 18 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 financial 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. Diversification 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.

Corporate 
governance 
summary

Credit risk on cash, cash equivalents and amounts due from other financial 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.

Shareholder 
information 

Credit risk on certificates of deposit is assessed as low and probability of default negligible. Risk is minimised by using 
clearly defined 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 
affected. The securitisation deposits are made with investment grade rated credit institutions.

During the year, the Group recognised an additional provision of $1.0 million for the potential impact of COVID-19 on 
the lending portfolio taking into account stress on the economy introduced by COVID-19 and the mitigating impact of 
Government and industry assistance packages and support, such as loan repayment deferral arrangements.

The Group recognises loss allowances for ECLs on the following financial 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 financial 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 financial instrument, (referred 

to as stage 2 and stage 3).

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

Definition 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 definition of default is appropriately tailored to reflect different characteristics of different 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.

Write off

Loans and advances and debt securities are written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the 
financial 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 sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. 
A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. The Group may apply enforcement activities to financial assets written off. 
Recoveries resulting from the Group’s enforcement activities will result in impairment gains.

Key estimates and judgements

Significant 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 significantly since initial recognition. AASB 9 does not 
define what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly 
increased the Group takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward looking 
information.

Repayment deferral availed by the borrowers as a result of COVID-19 does not in itself constitute a significant increase in 
credit risk unless the exposure meets the above criteria.

Models and assumptions used

The Group uses various models and assumptions in measuring fair value of financial 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.

Financial 
statements

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 different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect 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 difference between the contractual cash flows due 
and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows 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 figures are derived from internally developed statistical models and other historical data and they are adjusted to 
reflect 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.

information 

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.

Financial 
glossary

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

Repayment deferral availed by the borrowers as a result of COVID-19 does not in itself constitute a default or credit 
impairment event unless the exposure meets the above criteria.

The Group uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort in its assessment of significant 
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 identified. 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 identified 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 are GDP, GDP index, GDP index change 
and unemployment. Management have derived that GDP has economic correlations to inflation 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 
effects 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.

Sensitivity analysis and forward looking information

The following table shows the reported ECL based on the probability weighting of scenarios, with the sensitivity range 
reflecting the ECL impacts assuming a 100% weighting is applied to the base case scenario, the downside scenario or the 
severe downside scenario (with all other assumptions held constant). As at 30 June 2020, the probability weighted ECL is a 
blended outcome taking into consideration the respective scenarios.

The base case scenario incorporates a reasonable level of portfolio stress driven by forecast macro-economic factors, 
including potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional funding opportunities with the RBA and the governments 
commitment to supporting jobs, incomes and businesses as Australia responds to COVID-19.

The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model inputs and highlights 
significant changes during the current period.

The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impact of COVID-19, and reflect 
historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In relation to COVID-19, judgements and assumptions include the 
extent and duration of the pandemic, the impacts of actions of governments and other authorities, and the responses of 
businesses and consumers in different industries. Accordingly, the Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a 
result, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgement/ 
Assumption

Description

Changes and considerations during the year 
ended 30 June 2020

In the measurement of ECL, judgement is 
involved in setting the rules and trigger 
points to determine whether there has been 
a SICR since initial recognition of a loan, 
which would result in the financial asset 
moving from ‘stage 1’ to ‘stage 2’. This is a 
key area of judgement since transition from 
stage 1 to stage 2 increases the ECL from an 
allowance based on the probability of default 
in the next 12 months, to an allowance for 
lifetime expected credit losses.

Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting 
in transition from stage 2 to stage 1 may 
similarly result in significant changes in the 
ECL allowance. The setting of precise trigger 
points requires judgement which may have 
a material impact upon the size of the ECL 
allowance.

ECL is a function of the probability of 
default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) 
and the exposure at default (EAD) which 
are point-in-time measures reflecting 
the relevant forward looking information 
determined by management. Judgement 
is involved in determining which forward 
looking information variables are relevant 
for particular lending portfolios and for 
determining the sensitivity of the parameters 
to movements in these forward looking 
variables.

Auswide’s view of the most likely future 
macro-economic conditions.

Probability 
weighting of each 
scenario (base 
case, downside and 
severe downside 
scenarios)

Management 
overlays

Probability weighting of each scenario is 
determined by management considering the 
risks and uncertainties surrounding the base 
case scenario.

Management overlays to the ECL allowance 
are used where it is judged that existing 
inputs, assumptions and model techniques 
do not adequately capture the risk factors in 
the lending portfolio.

Various initiatives, such as loan repayment holidays 
and deferrals have been offered to customers in 
this half year recognising the potential detrimental 
impact of COVID-19. Such offers, if accepted, are 
not automatically considered to indicate SICR.

The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to the 
Group’s model risk policy that stipulates periodic 
model monitoring, periodic re-validation and 
defines approval procedures and authorities 
according to model materiality. There were no 
material changes to the policies during the year 
ended 30 June 2020.

There were no changes to behavioural lifetime 
estimates during the half year ended 30 June 2020.

There have been no changes to the types of 
forward looking variables (key economic drivers) 
used as model inputs in the current year.

As at 30 June 2020, the base case assumptions 
have been updated to reflect the rapidly evolving 
situation with respect to COVID-19. This includes 
an assessment of the impact of central bank 
(monetary policy), governments (wage subsidies), 
and institution specific responses (such as payment 
holidays). These are considered in determining 
the length and severity of the forecast economic 
downturn.

The key consideration for probability weightings 
in the current period is the continuing impact of 
COVID-19. The base case forecast reflects largely 
the negative economic consequences of COVID-19. 
Management have assessed the weightings applied 
to the downside and severe downside scenarios 
and determined that these remained appropriate

An overlay for model error risk continues to 
be applied. In assessing the potential impacts 
of COVID-19, management have applied an 
additional overlay, increasing the ECL, allowing 
for the increased uncertainty in future economic 
conditions.

4.5.7 

Specific provision

The Group has complied with the provisioning requirements under the APRA prudential standard APS220 Credit Quality and 
includes a specific provision amounting to $3.577m (2019: $2.012m) determined in accordance with the aforementioned 
prudential standard.

4.5.8 

Financial instruments classified at FVTPL

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the notes held in MISs designated at FVTPL is their carrying invested amount, which 
was $60.613m at 30 June 2020 (2019: $44.569m). The change in fair value due to credit risk for the MISs designated at 
FVTPL is $1.051m for the year (2019: $0.558m). The Group uses the performance of the portfolio to determine the change 
in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk of its MISs designated at FVTPL.

4.5.9 

Equity instruments classified at FVTOCI

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the equity instrument designated at FVTOCI is their carrying amount.

4.5.10  Analysis of financial instrument by days past due status

Under the Group’s monitoring procedures a significant increase in credit risk is identified before the exposure has defaulted 
and at the latest when the exposure becomes 30 days past due. The table below provides an analysis of the gross carrying 
amount of loans and advances by past due status, that are over 30 days past due.

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 differ 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 the amounts do not differ materially from those of the Consolidated entity.

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 specific 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.

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).

Directors’ 
statutory 
report

Auditor’s 
independence 
declaration

For non-financial 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.

Financial 
statements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the 
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are received at each reporting date and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant 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 significant 
inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in level 2. If one or more significant 
inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in level 3.

Summary of valuation methodologies applied in determining fair value of financial instruments

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect 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 reflect 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 significant. 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 financial 
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 significant, are detailed in the respective 
note to the financial statements.

Directors’ 
statutory 
report

Auditor’s 
independence 
declaration

The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available 
to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific 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:

Financial 
statements

•  •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 flows or income and expenses into a single 

discounted present value; and

•  cost approach - valuation techniques that reflect 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 financial 
statements.

Accounting policies

Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in 
the financial 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 financial 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 profit or loss reflects 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.

Employee provisions

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

Short-term employee benefits 

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 benefits 

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 benefits 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 benefits to employees on 
retirement.
