Delivering on our strategy and 
positioning for future growth

2018 has been a transformative year for IOOF. 

Advice-led strategy continues to deliver client outcomes

We continued to deliver our unique 
advice-led strategy during a period of 
intense scrutiny for the financial advice 
industry generally. There was strong 
organic growth in each of our businesses. 
We have remained steadfast in our 
ambition to make improvements across 
the business to ensure our focus remains 
on our clients. Simplifying our businesses 
resulted in cost efficiencies of $9.4m, which 
puts us in good stead going forward. 

Importantly, we also announced the 
transformative acquisition of ANZ Wealth 
Management. This transaction was 

substantially completed on 1 October 
2018 and shows our commitment to 
financial advice. 

Open architecture is a unique feature 
of our business and is a standout to 
our peers. We actively promote and 
encourage the use of other quality 
financial platforms and products. 
On the retail side, we currently support 
BT, Colonial and Macquarie platforms 
alongside our own flagship platform 
- IOOF Pursuit. We offer a choice of 
external insurers, TAL, AIA and Zurich. 
The investment options on our platforms 

3

IOOF annual report 2018

contain our own highly rated multi-
manager funds, as well as hundreds of 
other investment options. 

This means we genuinely demonstrate our 
commitment to ensuring our advisers have 
access to a range of solutions that they can 
use to best serve their clients. We believe 
that this is the way forward and it is the 
strongest possible strategic positioning in 
the face of constant change.

Meeting commitments delivers 
shareholder value

Underlying profit for the year was a 
record for IOOF at $191.4m – up 13% on 
2017’s strong result. For our shareholders, 
this translated into a total dividend 
for the full year of 54cps, fully franked. 
We committed to our shareholders to 
hold the dividend at 27 cents per share 
after the announcement of the ANZ 
transaction for the second half of the 
year – to ensure our existing shareholders 
were rewarded for their loyalty to IOOF. 
We met that commitment thanks to our 
strong financial performance.

This result could not be achieved without 
the hard work and commitment of all of 
our people, our Leadership Group and 
our fellow Board members. With all of 
the attention on the industry, all of our 
people continued to work diligently 
to ensure our clients’ needs were put 
first. Thank you all for your ongoing 
commitment to delivering superior 
outcomes to clients and long term 
value for shareholders. 

Industry changes

At IOOF we are committed to quality 
financial advice and recognise the true 
value that it provides to all Australians. 
Our own research has shown that 
advice extends beyond measurable 
financial gains - to improved physical 
health, stronger relationships and 
personal happiness.

4

It is well known that, along with other 
large Australian financial services 
providers, IOOF was involved in the Royal 
Commission this year. We will welcome 
changes to oversight and regulations 
which genuinely improve the interests and 
lives of our clients. Whilst there has been 
considerable scrutiny on the industry by 
the Royal Commission, we believe this will 
ultimately create a better financial services 
environment for all. Also of note for IOOF is 
that we have not had to raise any provision 
in respect of costs associated with the 
Royal Commission.

We await the final report of the Royal 
Commission in February 2019 and 
recognise that our shareholders feel the 
effects of the industry uncertainty in 
the value of their shareholding. But our 
existing business remains strong. We have 
a transformational acquisition in motion. 
With open architecture, we have options 
in the face of strategic change. We are 
confident that we will continue to have a 
strong business going forward, once the 
Royal Commission has concluded its work 
and any recommendations actioned. 

ClientFirst

Over the past two years we have 
highlighted our ClientFirst journey and 
client-centric culture.  Client experience 
has always been a sustainable competitive 
advantage, but it is even more 
pronounced in an environment where 
product is fast becoming a commodity 
and technology can be easily replicated. 

ClientFirst is not just a way of thinking 
or a philosophy. ClientFirst is about 
completely changing the way we work. 
It is about revealing unmet client needs, 
reframing client problems, and helping 
us to rethink the entire client experience. 
It has been extremely pleasing to see 
very positive feedback on our ClientFirst 
approach from advisers and their clients. 
One particular metric of relevance is that 

our customer complaints are trending at a 
three-year low.

Roy Morgan’s Satisfaction with Financial 
Performance of Superannuation in 
Australia survey of March 2018 has shown 
improvements in our net promoter score 
as a direct result of the changes we have 
made under our ClientFirst approach. 
We have improved three places to third 
in the March 2018 survey, which is an 
extremely pleasing result. 

The value of financial advice

At IOOF, we have been unwavering 
in our belief in the value of financial 
advice. With our Advice Academy, we 
are committed to improving the quality 
of financial advice for all Australians, 
in addition to improving the efficiency 
of its delivery. 

Two years on from its inception, our 
IOOF Advice Academy continues to 
lead the way in specialist coaching for 
financial advice businesses. With over 100 
advisers and 35 businesses now at various 
stages of our Foundation program, the 
IOOF Advice Academy supports advice 
businesses and their clients achieve 
what’s important to them. Our ultimate 
aim is to empower clients to live their 
ideal lives by achieving their financial and 
lifestyle goals.

In addition to our investment in the 
quality of financial advice via the IOOF 
Advice Academy, 12 of the top 50 
advisers in Barron’s second annual survey 
of Australian financial advisers were 
IOOF employed or licensed. This was 
the highest number achieved by any 
institution for the second year running. 
This result shows our advisers deliver 
high quality financial advice and superior 
outcomes for clients.

Transformational acquisition to 
deliver long term value

In October 2017, we announced 
the significant acquisition of ANZ’s 
Pensions & Investments businesses and 
Aligned Dealer Groups (ANZ Wealth 
Management). ANZ Wealth Management 
fits seamlessly with IOOFs existing advice, 
platform and investment management 
businesses - our core wealth 
management offerings. 

In addition to the acquisition, we 
announced we would be entering 
into a 20 year partnership to offer our 
wealth management products to ANZ’s 
customers. This is a transformational 
acquisition for IOOF in terms of the 
additional scale it provides. 

On 1 October 2018, IOOF obtained full 
legal ownership of the ANZ Aligned 
Dealer Groups whilst also securing 82% 
of the economic benefit of the Pensions 
& Investments business. IOOF anticipates 
taking full ownership of that part of ANZ’s 
business towards the end of March 2019. 

We remain confident that this acquisition 
will deliver significant benefits for those 
clients and our shareholders.

Strong organic growth 
continues

2018 saw advice net inflows of $4.4 billion, 
up 48%. Platform net inflows were $1.6 
billion, up 34% vs FY17. These significant 
increases show that IOOF continues to 
be an attractive alternative for advisers 
looking to partner with a specialist 
advice-led group and that our focus on 
service excellence results in significantly 
increased flows.

Our adviser numbers continue to 
grow. At 1 October 2018, we had 1,707 
salaried and licensed advisers, including 
661 advisers who joined us from ANZ 
Aligned Dealer Groups. Our commitment 
to financial advice and our advice-

led strategy means we are unique in 
an industry which is consolidating. 
This unwavering dedication is leading 
to record levels of interest in our advice 
businesses. The choice open architecture 
provides is the major reason advisers 
choose to partner with IOOF. 

Environmental, Social and 
Governance matters

We are committed to ensuring 
Environmental, Social and Governance 
(ESG) practices are embedded in our 
culture. ESG is our responsibility to clients, 
shareholders and the communities in 
which we operate. 

Our IOOF Foundation has continued 
its work in assisting some of our 
most disadvantaged communities. 
The Foundation has now surpassed $13.5 
million in total donations since its formal 
establishment in 2001. 

In September 2018, IOOF announced its 
support for the Taskforce for Climate-
Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) 
recommendations. We are proud to 
join over 30 other large Australian 
organisations in expressing support for 
consistent, useful information on the 
material financial impacts of climate-
related risks and opportunities. 

Our ESG Report provides further details 
on our approach to material ESG matters, 
how these are linked to strategic 
initiatives and our assessment of their 
impact. We remain committed to the 
sector with our significant shareholding 
in Australian Ethical Investment Ltd, 
Australia’s largest dedicated ESG 
investment manager.

We encourage you to read the further 
detail on our ESG matters and the IOOF 
Foundation in our ESG report on page 21.

Outlook 

This year has seen a period of intense 
scrutiny on the financial services industry. 
Any changes legislated by government 
as a result of the Royal Commission 
will be beneficial to confidence and 
trust in Australia’s financial services 
sector. Ultimately this will lead to better 
outcomes for those Australians who place 
their trust and hard-earned financial 
resources with us and our competitors.

IOOF’s commitment to financial advice 
is unwavering. We are different from 
our peers in offering a genuine choice 
of products and services. We remain 
committed to our ClientFirst approach. 
Diligently pursuing our strategy will 
deliver positive long-term outcomes 
for our advisers, their clients and our 
shareholders.

To our shareholders, the Board and 
management of IOOF, thank you for your 
support over this past year.

Our business

At IOOF, we believe in the value of financial advice. 

In today’s complex and ever-changing financial world, it has never been more important for people to seek qualified and experienced 
guidance to secure their financial future. One of our major goals is to make it easier for all Australians to access and benefit from 
receiving the right advice for their individual needs and objectives.

ESG practices are deeply embedded in our day to day operations and to the creation of long-term financial outcomes for our advisers, 
clients and shareholders.

Corporate Governance

Robust corporate governance policies, practices and procedures 
are a fundamental part of our culture and lay the foundations that 
underpin everything we do. 

IOOF has adopted Listing Rule 4.10.3 which allows companies to 
publish their corporate governance statement on their website 
rather than in their annual report. The Directors of IOOF have 
reviewed and approved the statement, which is available at 
www.ioof.com.au/about-us/about-ioof/corporate-governance

The Royal Commission

IOOF has been helping Australians for over 170 years achieve 
their financial goals and is one of Australia’s largest financial 
services companies. We take our responsibilities to clients 
and members seriously and they are at the heart of our 
organisation’s purpose. 

As a top 100 company on the Australian Securities Exchange, we 
welcome any changes to processes and regulations that help 
improve the lives of our clients. Whilst there has been a lot of 
scrutiny on the industry by the Royal Commission, at IOOF, we 
believe that this will ultimately create a better financial services 
environment for all and restore clients’ faith in our system.

Establishing trusted relationships with 
advisers

At IOOF, we recognise the true value of advice. Inclusive of our 
acquisition of 661 on 1 October 2018, we employ or licence 
approximately 1,700 advisers and stockbrokers and have trusted 
relationships with independent financial advisers.

The true value of advice

IOOF undertook a survey of 521 advised and non-advised 
clients and discovered that those who receive ongoing financial 
planning advice experience1:

•  13% greater levels of overall personal happiness.

•  21% overall increase in peace of mind.

•  19% less likelihood to have arguments with loved ones.

Meanwhile those who don’t receive financial advice were:

•  22% more likely to have their sleep disrupted due to money 

concerns.

•  15% more likely to feel stress and anxiety.

•  11% more likely to feel concerned about their finances.

In addition, 83% of clients surveyed endorsed the value of 
financial advice by saying it’s also important for their loved ones 
to have good financial advice.

A financial adviser provides the peace of mind of a well thought out 
plan which ensures better preparation for the future. Also, advice 
extends beyond measurable financial gains, to improved physical 
health, stronger relationships and personal happiness.

Due to our advice-led wealth management strategy, we are 
seeing record levels of interest in our advice businesses. 

New advisers can join one of IOOF’s Advice Groups subject to 
meeting minimum adviser education standards and undergoing 
rigorous compliance and on-boarding processes, to ensure 
that the quality of financial advice IOOF is offering our clients is 
uncompromised. 

In addition to our advice-led strategy, IOOF offers open 
architecture. This means that our advisers have the choice to use 
our platform, or those of competitors. Choice of products and 
services presents a fundamental difference from our peers in the 
industry. This is a major reason for advisers to choose to partner 
with an IOOF advice group and a tangible demonstration of 
offering solutions which best service our advisers and their 
clients’ individual needs.

Our IOOF Advice Academy ensures we are at the forefront of 
advocacy for improving the quality of financial advice. Further 
information on our Advice Academy can be found in the ‘Our 
clients & community’ section of this report.

Responsible investment

Our multi-manager investment management offering ensures 
ESG factors are considered by underlying investment managers 
in their investment decision-making processes in order to 
protect and manage investments for the long term. 

In 2017 an ESG clause was added to all of our Investment 
Management Agreements with external fund managers. 

14

1 IOOF: The true value of advice (2015)

IOOF annual report 2018These managers must now identify and manage risks associated 
with ESG as part of their investment process. 

In 2018, we continued to build on our commitment to 
responsible investment by developing a Responsible Investing 
Statement of Principles which is close to completion. Approval 
and commencement of the implementation of the principles 
will occur over the course of 2019. We will also consider our 
approaches to the measurement and scoring of portfolios 
against the Responsible Investing Statement of Principles.

In addition, IOOF has a 18% shareholding in Australian Ethical 
(ASX: AEF); Australia’s largest dedicated ESG investment manager. 
This represents a long-standing commitment to responsible 
investing with our initial investment dating back to 2005.

IOOF is proud of the results it achieved in this review which 
are a direct result of the importance it puts on ensuring tax 
governance and tax transparency

Tax contribution analysis

The IOOF Group contributed a total of $143.6m in taxes to 
Australian, New Zealand and Hong Kong governments (state 
and federal) in the 2018 tax year. $143m or 99.6% of this amount 
was attributable to the Australian Government. The below 
tables provide an analysis of the types of taxes the IOOF Group 
is liable for and those payable in Australia versus those in 
foreign jurisdictions. 

2018 tax contribution by country (total $143.6m)

Tax Transparency

The IOOF Group is committed to tax transparency and integrity. 
It has been a signatory to the Board of Taxation’s Voluntary Tax 
Transparency Code (the Code), since January 2017. 

The Code is a set of principles and ‘minimum standards’ to guide 
disclosure of tax information by businesses, encourage those 
businesses to avoid aggressive tax planning, and to help educate 
the public about their compliance with Australia’s tax laws.

Tax strategy and governance

Tax governance is part of the IOOF Group’s overall risk 
management framework, as well as being part of an overall 
tax strategy. The overall tax strategy drives the IOOF Group’s 
approach to tax risk management and is aimed at good 
corporate tax compliance and reporting, ability to meet and be 
prepared for regulatory changes, and in ensuring shareholder 
value. Tax governance is continuously monitored and in line 
with the IOOF Group’s strategy. The IOOF Group regards its 
relationship with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) as effective and 
open thereby maintaining transparency and collaboration. 

ATO Streamlined Assurance Review

The ATO finalised a streamlined assurance review in November 
2017, as part of its justified trust program, with IOOF Holdings 
Ltd tax consolidated group. The ATO commended IOOF for 
registering as a signatory to the Board of Taxation’s voluntary 
Tax Transparency Code, being an “important tool to assist joint 
efforts in increasing tax transparency and community confidence 
that our largest taxpayers are paying the right amount of tax.”

IOOF received a high level of assurance across the areas 
of tax risk management and governance, significant and 
new transactions, specific tax risks, and alignment between 
accounting and tax results. Its Tax Governance Framework was 
considered by the ATO to be best-practice, with the ATO noting 
that it has been both designed effectively and is operative.

IOOF received the Large Fund Diagnostic Report for ATO

outcome of these reports to categorise the risk of incorrect ATO 
reporting and direct compliance activity. The ATO noted that “very 
few funds have met more than eight of the 13 benchmarks”. IOOF 
has met, or exceeded almost all benchmark tests across the prior 
two years for its flagship product, receiving a ranking of being the 
3rd best of all Funds in Australia for its ATO reporting.

including employees and members, are not directly borne by 
the Group. These include income tax, GST, pay-as-you-earn 
withholding taxes, and local duties, which total a further $123m.

Further detail on tax paid by the IOOF Group can be found in 
note 2-5 to the financial statements within this Annual Report. 

Climate change and the environment

Climate change presents significant challenges for society 
and generates both risks and opportunities for IOOF’s business 
and stakeholders. 

In September 2018, IOOF announced its support for the 
Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) 
recommendations. The TCFD recommendations are designed to 
solicit consistent, decision-useful, forward-looking information 
on the material financial impacts of climate-related risks and 
opportunities, including those related to the global transition 
to a lower-carbon economy. As a leading provider of wealth 
management solutions, this will ultimately help us better 
understand climate-related issues and how they can impact 
investment decisions.

Perennial Value Management Limited (in which IOOF has a 
42% shareholding) has been a supporter of the TCFD since 
December 2017.

IOOF has joined a list of over 390 organisations worldwide and 
30 other Australian organisations in its support for the TCFD. 
Australian organisations which have supported the TCFD include; 
the “Big Four” banks, APRA, Industry Super funds, investment 
managers and other large ASX listed companies. 

Environmental impact 

As a diversified financial services company, we seek to minimise 
our impact on the environment through a range of waste, 
energy and emission-reduction activities.

During 2017 we commenced a significant project to consolidate 
our property footprint, which will better enable us to monitor 
and manage our environmental impact. 

In Melbourne, our current corporate headquarters 
has undergone significant refurbishment with further 

enhancements planned or underway. In September 2017, 
we moved all Melbourne based staff to work in one energy 
efficient office building. 

With stage 1 building works complete, a 4 Star NABERS Energy 
Rating and 3 Star NABERS Water Rating are targeted, which will 
make the building one of the most environmentally responsible 
commercial addresses in Melbourne CBD. 

In Sydney, we moved all of our people to 30 The Bond in 
December 2017; a 5.5 Star NABERS rated building. Environmental 
sustainability and enablement of our people were significant 
factors in choosing this building. It has a 3.5 Star NABERS water 
rating and a 5 Green Star rating, meaning it is currently one of 
the most environmentally sustainable buildings in Sydney. 

By November 2018 we expect to move all of our Hobart based 
staff to 40 Bathurst Street. Construction works are well underway 
to ensure we enable a work environment that is environmentally 
conscious once completed. 

Other environmental activities

We also continue to seek better ways to minimise our 
environmental impact, including: 

•  Working with contractors, landlords and service providers to 

increase waste recycling.

Outside of our major office movements, we continue to work 
with our landlords in all locations to ensure we are limiting 
our waste emissions and will look to report on total overall 
improvements as part of our annual ESG reporting process.

•  Reducing non-essential air travel. 

•  During 2017, we upgraded our internal communications 
system to better facilitate video conferencing in all of our 
office locations. In July 2017, we changed our corporate air 
travel arrangements to a single provider for all domestic and 
international travel. 

•  Encouraging employee work practices that reduce 

environmental impacts. 

•  To encourage a move to a paperless environment, during 
2017 we implemented “Follow Me” printing to reduce 
unnecessary printing of documents and paper wastage.

Over 170 years ago, IOOF was established with a commitment to helping people and positively 
contributing to the communities we serve. This commitment remains unchanged.

Advocating for quality financial advice for all Australians

Our unique advice-led wealth management strategy is differentiating us from our peers and is focused on delivering quality financial 
advice to all Australians.

As one of Australia’s leading financial services businesses, we are pleased to be investing in the continued improvement in the quality 
of advice for the benefit of all Australians. 

In July 2016, we launched the IOOF Advice Academy, which aims to be the pre-eminent training and coaching resource for the 
financial planning industry. Our vision for the IOOF Advice Academy is to create an environment where ongoing financial planning 
relationships deliver continued mutual value and enable our clients to live their ideal lives and be free of financial concern. 

Two years on from its inception our IOOF Advice Academy continues to lead the way in specialist coaching for financial advice 
businesses. Through bespoke workshops, in-practice specialist coaching and implementation, we address the challenges of providing 
quality advice through ever-changing technology, regulation and consumer expectations. 

With over 100 advisers and 35 businesses now at various stages of our Foundation program, the IOOF Advice Academy supports 
advice businesses and their clients achieve what’s important to them. Our ultimate aim is to empower clients to live their ideal lives by 
achieving their financial and lifestyle goals.

In addition to our investment in the quality of financial advice via the IOOF Advice Academy, 12 of the top 50 advisers in Barron’s 
second annual survey of Australian financial advisers were IOOF employed or licensed. This was the highest number achieved by any 
institution for the second year running. This result showcases that our advisers are delivering high quality financial advice and superior 
outcomes for their clients.

Acting in the best interests of our clients

Supported by robust corporate governance foundations, IOOF is committed to our ClientFirst strategy. In an environment where 
product has become a commodity, and technology can be easily replicated, client experience is fast becoming a sustainable 
competitive advantage.

17

IOOF annual report 2018ClientFirst is much more than changing a process or a technology system. It’s about completely changing the way we work. It requires 
us to systematically understand client demand types, variation and the roles all people through the organisation play in delivering 
demand. ClientFirst is about revealing unmet client needs, reframing client problems, and helping us to rethink the entire client

Giving back to our communities

IOOF Foundation

Since its formal establishment in 2001, the IOOF Foundation has 
donated more than $13.5 million to community groups across 
Australia. Our IOOF Foundation develops strong partnerships 
with non-profit organisations that are bringing opportunities to 
those less fortunate and are helping communities to grow and 
thrive. 

The IOOF Foundation offers long-term grants (up to three 
years) in areas important to the history of IOOF and the wider 
Australian community.

Further information on the programs that have been supported 
by the IOOF Foundation, can be found on page 21 of this report.

Reconciliation Action Plan

We believe that all Australians can contribute to the 
reconciliation of the nation. With this in mind, two of our 
businesses, AET and Shadforth Financial Group (SFG) have come 
together to develop a joint Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). 

Today, we are in better position than ever before to use our 
combined expertise, past experience and networks to engage 
with Traditional Owners and to raise awareness of their issues in 
order to address inequality within our society.

We have developed the RAP to increase the cultural awareness 
of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – for all IOOF 
employees at a national level. Our vision is to create a workplace 

18

culture that is respectful towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait 
Islander peoples and their unique place in society.

Our RAP seeks to:

•  Break down stereotypes and discrimination: We will 
educate staff about the intergenerational effects of past 
atrocities on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, 
such as the stolen generations and displaced laws and 
legislations. We believe an understanding of these issues 
will help break down the stereotypes and discrimination 
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face.

•  Show respect: We are proud of the resilient, strong and 
proud nature of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 
peoples as well as their generosity, love of family and 
connection to the land. We understand that learning 
about specific Aboriginal groups and customs is integral to 
developing fruitful long-term relationships. Showing respect 
and appreciation is also a crucial part of our approach.

•  Engage: We will actively engage with Aboriginal and Torres 
Strait Islander peoples to gain a deeper understanding 
of their issues, different lifestyles, cultures, histories, 
contributions and rights.

•  Offer our expertise: We will assist Aboriginal and Torres 

Strait Islander peoples to understand their rights within our 
capacity and sphere of influence. 

•  Create opportunity: We will identify opportunities for 
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in both our 
workplace and in our community.

Our people

Our people are our most important asset. Our success depends on them.

Corporate culture & attracting and retaining talent

We are committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. 
We recognise the value of diversity and embrace an inclusive 
culture where people from diverse backgrounds, with 
different skills, knowledge and experiences can develop their 
unique talents. 

Our culture is underpinned by four core values; 

the organisation’s goals. We are committed to make year-on-
year improvements.

We are pleased that our engagement score has increased to 65% 
in 2018.

Development of our people

Equipping our people with the right tools, capability and 
development opportunities is an investment we make for our 
future success. IOOF has a number of initiatives to support all of 
our people, including career development and planning, both 
co-created and individually tailored learning and development 
opportunities and commitment to financial study support. 

These programs not only provide scope to extend individual 
skills, but remain critical to succeed in a complex and competitive 
industry landscape. All employees are encouraged to set personal 
development plans with their managers and to undertake training 
which is appropriate for their role and future career aspirations. 

We have been using ClientFirst and Agile methods and tools and 
holding innovation events to harness the creativity and abilities 
of our people. Our approach supports us building a learning 
environment where our people share and test their ideas, putting 
their best ideas forward if they need further resourcing beyond 
what their immediate team can do.

Employee engagement and alignment

In June 2018, we undertook a comprehensive survey of our 
people in order to identify opportunities to further improve 
employee engagement and alignment. Employee engagement 
and alignment are both important for achieving sustainable high 
performance. The survey was completed by 81% of our people 
across the entire IOOF Group – an increase of 8% on 2017. 

Using the results of this survey, we have implemented initiatives 
to develop and foster improved employee engagement and 
identifying the issues potentially acting as barriers to achieving 

Commitment to balance and encouraging 
community participation

We offer a range of programs and services to employees to 
help achieve an appropriate balance between work and family. 
As well as offering flexible work arrangements, we provide our 
employees with a range of additional benefits.

Salary packaging

IOOF offers employees a range of salary sacrifice options:

•  Additional superannuation contributions.

•  Motor vehicle novated leasing.

•  Car parking, where available.

•  Workplace charitable giving program.

Work flexibility

To enable our people to make arrangements about their working 
conditions to suit their personal circumstances, IOOF provides a 
range of flexible working arrangements:

•  Opportunity to purchase additional annual leave.

•  Twelve weeks paid parental leave.

• 

Job share. 

•  Community Day.

Leisure and Lifestyle Benefits

We believe in promoting a healthy work/life balance and, to 
assist with this, IOOF offers:

•  Confidential Employee Assistance program (EAP).

•  Wellbeing program including Flu vaccinations.

• 

IOOF’s iBenefits program – exclusive access to discounted

•  Study leave and CPD support.

•  One Professional membership paid annually. 

•  Preferred health insurance rates with select insurers.

•  Discounted public transport tickets (Victoria).

• 

IOOF Pursuit Select staff rates.

Volunteering and giving

For the last decade, we have supported employees who are 
interested in volunteering through the use of paid volunteer 
leave. This equates to more than 16,000 hours of volunteer time 
available for our people.

Activities ranged from cooking at homeless shelters, supporting 
Christmas giving programs, looking after neglected/ maltreated 
animals, to supporting local school programs and providing 
gardening support. Organisations assisted include Hobart City 
Mission, RSCPA, Wesley Mission, Salvation Army and Easy Gardens. 

Our people actively support a number of key community 
initiatives in our offices throughout the year. In 2018, some of the 
initiatives we supported include the Cancer Council’s Biggest 
Morning Tea, Fight Cancer Foundations ‘Footy Colours Day’, 
RSPCA ‘Cupcake Day’, Legacy Appeal, R U OK day and Earth Hour.

Our Workplace Giving program encourages all of our people 
to make a tax-effective donation that IOOF matches dollar for 
dollar. This is a simple and effective way for our people to make 
small regular donations. We have committed to invest further in 
this program, moving to a new online platform and expanding 
the number of organisations we will support.  We have listened 
to our employees and understand that it is important to give 
them a choice in where they give their time and money, which 
encourages greater participation. 

Diversity and inclusion 

People with different skills and experience and from different 
backgrounds bring fresh ideas and perspectives. IOOF 
acknowledges diversity as critical to enabling innovation and 
broader thinking and, ultimately, to the group’s greater success.

IOOF has a Diversity and Inclusion Plan 2017/2018 that sets 
out the diversity initiatives for the IOOF Group. In this context, 
diversity and inclusion covers gender, age, ethnicity, race, sexual 
orientation, physical abilities, religious beliefs and other beliefs. 
It also extends to differences surrounding socio economic or 
educational background, marital status, mental health, family 
responsibilities and addressing matters of domestic violence. 

We recognise that building a diverse, inclusive workforce 
increases the possibility to recruit, retain and develop the best 
talent whilst forging a stronger understanding and connection 

20

with our clients and broader communities. As part of our 
employee engagement survey completed in June 2018, 32% of 
our people identified as being from a culturally or linguistically 
diverse background. 

IOOF targets being a diversity leader in the financial sector by;

•  providing a diverse, inclusive workplace in which everyone 
has the opportunity to participate and be valued for their 
distinctive skills, experiences and perspectives;

• 

incorporating diversity into business practices through its 
corporate social responsibility initiatives that aim to improve 
quality of life for our workforce, their families, communities 
and society at large; and

•  ensuring diversity extends and is embraced across all aspects 
of the Group, including recruitment and appointment to roles, 
talent development, Board appointments, retention, mentoring 
and coaching programs, flexible work arrangements, 
succession planning, training and development and across all 
of the relevant Group policies and procedures. 

The table below sets out the number of women at board, senior

In order to create a focus on encouraging a gender balanced 
workplace, IOOF has supported a number of initial research 
programs to address any gaps that may be evident. A pay equity 
audit has been conducted annually since 2011 amongst all levels 
of IOOF staff to determine whether a gender pay gap existed 
within the IOOF Group in order to identify any trends. Our People 
and Culture Committee will continue to address matters of equal 
pay and continue to support the programs to further increase 
the number of women in senior management positions. 

Other initiatives include:

•  a section dedicated to wellbeing on employee intranet portal;

•  networking luncheons; and

•  opportunities for small groups to attend industry networking 
and skills specific conferences and workshops to enhance 
their education and potential to encourage networking with 
industry and business peers.

offers supported housing to elderly 
homeless men and women from the 
local community. SRS was granted to 
Wintringham, funds from our Foundation 
are going directly to mandatory upgrades 
to ensure the facility can run at capacity.

Juvenile Diabetes Research 
Foundation

This year a passionate group of 
employees created ‘Team Shadforth’ in 
support of Juvenile Diabetes Research 
Foundation (JDRF). This group completed 
the One Ride challenge in April, raising 
funds to help find a cure for Type 1 
Diabetes. The riders could chose between 
35km, 80km, 120km or 170km rides 
through the scenic Barossa Valley.

Shadforth Financial Group staff members 
have joined in the JDRF One Ride 
challenge since 2011, their ongoing 
fundraising efforts have raised over 
$230,000 for Type 1 Diabetes research. 
Over 65 staff members have participated 
in the event, with some of our team being 
involved for a number of years. The IOOF 
Foundation is proud to have partnered 
with the team at JDRF to support their 
peer support program over a number 
of years.

Girl from OZ

Girl from Oz (g-oz) uses the performing 
arts as a hook of engagement, inspiring 
and motivating girls and young women 
to regularly attend school and to 
meaningfully and actively participate 
in their community. The vision is 
to foster a sense of belonging and 
connectedness between participants 
and their community; giving students 
the self-assurance to speak and perform 
in front of their peers and families and 
to feel proud of their achievements as 
empowered, resilient and confident 
young women. “Girls from OZ does 
potent, targeted, nuanced and 
intelligent work. It knows if you educate 
a girl you educate a community” Kathleen 
Noonan, Journalist. We are delighted to 
partner with the team at g-oz until the 
end of 2019.

Maggie Beer Foundation

Rural Aid 

Colman Foundation was created to 
help in the education of underprivileged 
children. It subsequently entered into a 
written ‘social partnership’ agreement 
with the State Government around the 
construction and operation of a state 
school at Doveton, in Victoria, this was 
the first such arrangement in Australia. 
The IOOF Foundation provides the 
financial support to fund The Doveton 
Engagement and Enrichment program 
(DEEP) bringing students together in 
the following sporting, theatre, dance, 
music and multi-media activities, based 
on notation that the school in order to 
be the hub of the community needed 
to operate from 7am to 6pm. Since the 
DEEP program started, more than 70 
activities have been offered and almost 
2,500 students have enrolled, Doveton 
is culturally diverse - 42 languages are 
spoken across the school - but also 
significantly disadvantaged with 92 per 
cent of families healthcare card holders. 
Before DEEP about 1 in 7 boys and 1 in 
14 of the girls attend extra-curricular 
activities, by the end of 2017 an overall 
growth from 2015 to 2017 of 90%. 
The Doveton school model has evolved 
into what we now know as the ‘OUR 
PLACE’ model. 

Maggie Beer with IOOF Employees Brisbane

The vision of the Maggie Beer Foundation 
is to ensure that all residents in aged 
care have access to fresh, wholesome, 
seasonal food, abundant with flavour. 
To achieve this, they need to engage 
with and educate cooks and chefs in 
the aged care sector. 

We continue to support the ‘Creating 
an Appetite for Life’ program that 
provides an opportunity for cooks 
and chefs working in aged care to 
participate in a two-day workshop with 
Maggie and industry experts, who share 
their knowledge and ideas about how 
to enhance not just the food served 
but the whole dining experience, all while 
considering the economic sustainability 
of the menus being created. The program 
has been designed for those who are 
committed to making a difference in 
their aged care home kitchens and 
who can influence those controlling 
menus, the dining experience, budgets 
and supplier relationships.

Rural Aid was founded in 2015 to 
provide a central point of focus for rural 
communities who require assistance. 
The Farm Rescue program provides small 
rural communities with direct access 
to skilled trades mean and women. 
They take these skilled volunteers 
to these communities to do repair 
and replacement work on small scale 
infrastructure projects. Many of these 
communities are struggling to access 
these skills as towns are getting smaller 
and mining and gas operations are taking 
away those who do have the skills to 
perform this work. 

Mama Lanas Community 
Foundation 

Mama Lana’s Community Foundation 
(MLCF) is a not-for-profit organisation that 
provides assistance to the homeless and 
underprivileged people in our community 
to advance their well-being and prospects 
for future independence. They believe in 
kindness with no string. After operating 
out of the family home and serving from 
the judge’s car park, the team at MLCF 
were successful in obtaining funding to 
move into a leased premises located in 
Penrith. Our community grant covered 
the cost of general property upgrades 
including installation of high resolution 
CCTV to all areas of the newly leased 
premises. This premises will be the hub for 
the meal and service centre.

Red Dust Role Models

Spinal Cord Injury

Very Special Kids (VSK) was established in 
1985 and became the first organisation 
in Victoria designed to offer assistance to 
families of children with life-threatening 
conditions. VSK now provides Professi 
onal free-of-charge family support 
services including counselling, advocacy, 
sibling support, bereavement support, 
networking and peer activities, trained 
family volunteers and specialist care at 
VSK Hospice, the only children’s hospice 
in Victoria offering families access to 
planned and emergency respite, as well 
as end-of-life care. The hospice provides 
24-hour medical and nursing care in a 
warm and welcoming environment. 

Generations of Indigenous Australians 
in remote communities have lived a life 
impacted by poor health. This affects 
the whole community, especially young 
people. Red Dust believes that good 
health is the key to a bright future and 
that health outcomes can only be made 
possible through a two-way exchange 
with communities. Working together 
to enrich lives, improve health and 
strengthen the future of Indigenous 
youth and families.

Red Dust’s unique approach to achieving 
health outcomes is working. They partner 
with communities to best target specific 
local needs – this is not a one size fits all 
approach. They encourage Indigenous 
youth to learn more about health by using 
channels they respond to such as sport, 
art, music and dance. Red Dust improve 
knowledge and skills of Indigenous youth 
and inspire them to live a healthy lifestyle 
through the influence of positive role 
models. The IOOF Foundation’s investment 
will secure the delivery of an extra Healthy 
Living Program into the communities 
of Kintore and Yuendumu and the 
development of community role models.

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Research 
Collaborations Project: Closing the 
gaps in the research continuum is the 
Spinal Research Institute’s (SRI) initiative 
to encourage collaboration among 
international SCI researchers. This will 
lead to multi-centred studies that can 
achieve statistically significant outcomes 
to improve the lives of people living 
with SCI. There is currently a 7-12 year 
gap between a research study and the 
translation of its outcomes into practice. 
With the Closing the Gaps project, the 
SRI hopes to significantly speed up the 
time taken for SCI research to deliver 
life-changing SCI treatments and health 
solutions. The key is the development of 
the International online SCI Researchers 
Hub, which is the focus of this proposal. 
This online platform is called the Spinal 
Cord Research Hub (SCoRH).

IOOF annual report 2018The Remuneration and Nominations Committees review the balance of skills, experience, independence, knowledge and diversity 
of Directors. This involves the creation of a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the Board currently has 
or is looking to achieve in its membership.

During the year each Board member completed a skills matrix. The Board was satisfied that the skills matrix results demonstrate 
that the Board has the appropriate skills and experience necessary to oversee the operations and governance of the IOOF Group. 
The Board Skills Matrix is available as part of our Corporate Governance Statement which is available on the IOOF website. 

Principal activities
The principal continuing activities of the IOOF Group during the financial year consisted of:

•  financial advice;

•  platform management & administration; 

• 

• 

investment management; and

trustee services including estate planning and corporate trust.

Operating and financial review
In accordance with current Australian Accounting Standards, the audited financial results of the benefit funds of IOOF Ltd are included 
in the consolidated results of the IOOF Group. The inclusion of the benefit funds has no impact on the profit after tax for the year 
(2017: $nil), but results in offsetting pre-tax profit and income tax amounts not available to shareholders. 

The following table, which has not been audited, provides a reconciliation between the reported results of the IOOF Group and 
underlying net profit after tax pre-amortisation (UNPAT), with the results of the benefit funds excluded. In calculating its UNPAT, 
the IOOF Group reverses the impact on profit of certain, predominantly non-cash, items to enable a better understanding of its 
operational result. It is the UNPAT result which will be analysed in detail in this section of the Directors’ Report. The items reversed, and 
the rationale for that reversal, is also addressed in detail. 

Shareholders can review the more detailed results presentation by visiting the Company website at www.ioof.com.au

UNPAT Adjustments

Amortisation of intangible assets: Non-cash entry reflective 
of declining intangible asset values over their useful lives. 
Intangible assets are continuously generated within the IOOF 
Group, but are only able to be recognised when acquired. 
The absence of a corresponding entry for intangible asset 
creation results in a conservative one sided decrement to 
profit only. It is reversed to ensure the operational result is 
not impacted. The reversal of amortisation of intangibles is 
routinely employed when performing company valuations. 
However, the amortisation of software development costs is 
not reversed in this manner.

Acquisition costs - Acquisition advisory: One off payments 
to external advisers for corporate transactions, such as the 
acquisition of AET Services (AETS) and planned acquisition 
of ANZ Wealth Management, which were not reflective of 
conventional recurring operations.

Acquisition costs - Integration preparation: Staff and 
specialist contractor costs related to integration preparation for 
the planned acquisition of ANZ Wealth Management.

Acquisition costs - Finance costs: Costs of securing finance 
for the planned acquisition of ANZ Wealth Management.

Onerous contracts: Non cash entry to record the estimated 
present value of expected costs of meeting the obligations

under contracts where the costs exceed the economic 
benefits expected to be received pursuant to the contracts.

Termination payments: Facilitation of restructuring to 
ensure long term efficiency gains which are not reflective of 
conventional recurring operations.

Profit on divestment of subsidiaries: The IOOF Group 
partially divested a subsidiary during the year. (Prior year: 
Perennial Investment Management Ltd and partial divestment 
of a subsidiary).

Profit on divestment of assets: Divestments of non-core 
businesses, client lists and associates.

Non-recurring professional fees (recovered)/paid: 
Recovery of certain litigation related prior year costs via 
successful insurance claim. (Prior year: Costs relating to 
specialist service and advice providers enlisted to assist the 
IOOF Group in better informing key stakeholders. These 
services were required following negative media allegations. 
In particular, but not limited to, process review, senate 
inquiry support, government relations, litigation defence and 
communications advice. This type and level of support was not 
required on a recurrent basis).

Impairment of goodwill: A non-cash impairment of $28.3m 
has been recognised in relation to goodwill allocated to 
Perennial Investment Partners Limited (Prior year: $38.6m). 
Reduced profitability from lower revenue led to calculated 

IOOF annual report 2018value-in-use declining to below the carrying value of the 
aggregate goodwill and investment balances. Revenue decline 
has arisen due to institutional outflows. These outflows reflect 
below benchmark performance in certain core products and 
changing market dynamics, where larger institutions now 
weight a greater proportion of funds to indexed products.

Unwind of deferred tax liability recorded on intangible 
assets: Acquired intangible asset valuations for AASB 3 
Business Combinations accounting are higher than the 
required cost base as set under tax consolidation rules 
implemented during 2012. A deferred tax liability (DTL) is 
required to be recognised as there is an embedded capital 
gain should the assets be divested at their accounting values. 
This DTL reduces in future years at 30% of the amortisation 
applicable to those assets which have different accounting 
values and tax cost bases. The recognition of DTL and 
subsequent reductions are not reflective of conventional 
recurring operations and are regarded as highly unlikely to 
be realised due to the IOOF Group’s intention to hold these 
assets long term.

Settlement of legal claims: Provision for settlement of 
plaintiff claims in certain of the legal proceedings to which 
Australian Executor Trustees Limited is party in connection 
with its role as debenture trustee of Provident Capital Limited.

Other: Deferred consideration devaluation relating to prior 
periods’ divestment of Perennial and other businesses.

Acquisition tax provision release: The acquisition of DKN in 
the 2012 financial year necessitated recognition of a provision 
related to an uncertain tax position. This was recognised at 
estimated fair value, however the provision was released as 
it was adjudged that a present obligation no longer existed. 
This was a one-off, non-cash, non-operational increment to 
the IOOF Group’s statutory profitability.

Income tax attributable: This represents the income tax 
applicable to certain adjustment items outlined above.

Review of Strategy

The IOOF Group services the needs of financial advisers and 
their clients through appropriately licensed and regulated 
entities. The pool of investable funds emanates predominantly 
from superannuation which has been supported by Australia’s 
mandatory contributions regime since the early 1990s. 
Competition for service offerings to superannuants and 
investors (fund members) in the Australian market place is 
currently drawn from five main fund types with the following 
differentiating features:

Retail – privately operated trusts and other schemes. The 
majority of funds are channelled to administration services and 

investment management products through financial advisers. 
However, technological development is enabling an increasing 
range of offerings direct to fund members.

Industry Funds – superannuation entities which historically 
have provided for employees working in the same union, 
industry or group of related industries. Many industry funds 
now offer membership to members of the public. Industry 
funds generally administer these funds, but may outsource the 
management of investments. 

Self-Managed – the fund member acts as Trustee for his or 
her pool of funds, which may include funds from a limited 
number of other family members and associates. These funds 
are predominantly utilised where the Trustee perceives they 
have the requisite time and expertise to manage their own 
investment strategy and a sufficient scale of funds to make the 
fixed administration costs economically justifiable.

Corporate – funds established for the benefit of employees 
of a particular entity or a group of related entities, with joint 
member and employer control.

Public Sector – funds which provide benefits largely for 
government employees or employees of statutory authorities, 
or are schemes established by a Commonwealth, State 
or Territory law.

Self Managed Funds are regulated by the Australian Taxation 
Office (ATO) whereas all others above are regulated by the 
Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).

The IOOF Group administers and manages Retail funds. 
Australian Superannuation assets totalled $2.6 trillion as at 
31 March 2018. Over the 12 months to March 2018 there 
was a 6.8% increase in total superannuation assets and retail 
providers had a market share of approximately 23%. The IOOF 
Group’s market share of that sub-set was 5.5% when measured 
by platform management and administration (platform) 
segment Funds Under Administration (FUAdmin). There is a 
high degree of competition between the five fund types and 
fragmentation and competition among the participants within 
each fund type. 

As published in APRA’s March 2018 Quarterly Superannuation 
Performance Statistics, the following were the asset allocation 
metrics for funds with greater than four members: 50.8% of 
investments were invested in equities; with 22.6% in Australian 
listed equities, 24.2% in international listed equities and 4.0% 
in unlisted equities; Fixed income and cash investments 
accounted for 32.1% of investments; 21.1% in fixed income 
and 11.0% in cash; Property and infrastructure accounted for 
13.4% of investments and 3.7% were invested in other assets, 
including hedge funds and commodities.

IOOF annual report 2018Directors’ report (cont’d) 

Operating and financial review (cont’d)

The IOOF Group operates in the Wealth Management sector. 
The sector has a substantial and growing pool of funds 
underpinned by government compulsion. The attraction 
of the sector is further enhanced by high regulatory and 
technological barriers to entry from new competitors. As an 
incumbent participant, we seek to grow our Funds Under 
Management, Administration, Advice and Supervision 
(FUMAS) faster than our competitors. In doing so, the portion 
of our revenue net of direct costs (gross margin) which is 
levied on asset balances may reasonably be expected to rise 
proportionately with FUMAS. This proportionate rise may 
be affected by the impact of differentiated product pricing 
and competitive pressure on management fee rates. In 
conjunction, we seek to leverage a cost base which is largely 
fixed relative to the scale of our FUMAS. 

The IOOF Group’s future FUMAS growth will be underpinned 
by asset revaluation, flows of funds from new and existing 
clients and acquisition initiatives. Funds flow will be 
advanced through:

• 

increasing brand and product awareness to 
increase revenue;

•  enhancing the adviser and fund client experience through 
continued technology development and experienced 
knowledgeable support staff;

•  operating an open architecture environment which allows 
our advisers and clients to utilise the administration service 
which best meets their objectives irrespective of whether 
it is an IOOF Group proprietary service or a competitor’s 
service. All options, however, generate a favourable 
economic return for the IOOF Group;

•  enhanced training initiatives and leading minimum 

qualification standards to give our staff and advisers every 
opportunity to optimise the experience of our clients;

•  establishing skilled teams and robust analytical processes 
to enhance the prospect of achieving above benchmark 
performance in investment management; and

•  continuous improvement in process efficiency to minimise 

operating costs.

The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, 
Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (the Royal 
Commission) was established on 14 December 2017 and is 
ongoing at the date of this report. There has been speculation 
among media commentators, investment analysts and others 
that the structure of the industry in which the IOOF Group 
operates may be materially changed in a manner which is 
potentially disadvantageous to its profitability. The IOOF Group 
is not able to determine whether any material changes will 
eventuate, nor the form or timing of any potential changes 
should they be recommended. The IOOF Group will continue 

3030

to closely monitor Royal Commission hearings, relevant 
public commentary and any reports by the Commissioner 
when they are released. The IOOF Group will also continue to 
advocate strongly for a regulatory framework which makes 
appropriate financial advice, provided by well capitalised, 
reputable, compliant license holders, available to as many 
Australians as possible.

The fifth round of public hearings was held in Melbourne 
from 6 August to 17 August 2018. This round considered how 
RSE Licensees fulfil their duties to members of regulated 
superannuation funds and the extent to which structural or 
governance arrangements may affect the fulfillment of those 
duties. Two witnesses from the IOOF Group were required 
to give evidence before the Commission. Shortly after the 
conclusion of this round, the IOOF Group will make written 
submissions responding to matters raised by the Commission’s 
Counsel Assisting.

The IOOF Group has a long-term strategy of pursuing growth 
through acquisitions and has completed several acquisitions 
in previous years. The IOOF Group will continue to pursue 
acquisitions within the Wealth Management sector on 
an opportunistic basis. However acquisitions will only be 
considered where they present a logical strategic fit with 
existing operations and are priced reasonably for the expected 
value accretion to shareholders. The funding of acquisitions 
will be considered on a case by case basis taking into account 
the relative cost of available funding sources and the impact 
on balance sheet structure overall.

Acquisitions

On 28 September 2017, the IOOF Group completed its 
acquisition of National Australia Trustees Limited and has 
since renamed the operating entity AET Services Limited 
(AETS). AETS is a significant provider of trustee services with 
a recognised history in Western Australia, New South Wales, 
Queensland and Victoria. AETS’s offering has proved to be 
a strong strategic fit with the IOOF Group’s existing trustee 
business, Australian Executor Trustees Limited (AET). The 
integration of AETS was completed in the year to 30 June 
2018 with expected annualised synergies of approximately: 
$2m revenue, primarily via client best interest led transition of 
compensation trust funds to IOOF proprietary platforms; and 
$3m in cost synergies through scale efficiencies. The impact 
of synergy savings in the year to 30 June 2018 is $1.6m 
in reduced costs.

On 17 October 2017, the IOOF Group announced an agreement 
with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 
(ANZ) to acquire ANZ’s OnePath Pensions and Investments 
business and Aligned Dealer Groups (collectively “ANZ Wealth 

IOOF annual report 2018Management”) for a cash consideration of $975m, subject to a 
completion adjustment.

On 26 July 2018, the IOOF Group entered into a non-
binding term sheet with ANZ in respect of implementing an 
accelerated economic completion of the acquisition of ANZ’s 
One Path Pensions and Investments (ANZ P&I) business and full 
legal ownership of ANZ’s Aligned Dealer Groups (ADGs). 

The IOOF Group and ANZ are negotiating final legally binding 
arrangements to give effect to the following agreed outcomes: 

•  Full legal ownership of ANZ ADGs from 1 October 2018. 

•  Substantial economic completion of the ANZ P&I business 
will also be brought forward to 1 October 2018 through: 

 –  an initial payment by the IOOF Group of 

$800m to ANZ; and

 –  ANZ to pay a return to the IOOF Group equivalent to 

82% of the economic interests in the ANZ P&I business 
from 1 October 2018. 

Final completion of the acquisition of the ANZ P&I business 
acquired by the IOOF Group will take place after successful 
completion of a successor fund transfer (which separates 
the ANZ P&I business products from OnePath Life), which is 
expected to occur towards the end of March 2019.

Assuming stable economic conditions more generally, the 
accelerated completion date for the ADGs and the proposed 
economic completion is expected to deliver Earnings Per Share 
broadly in line with forecasts previously disclosed in the initial 
announcement of the transaction. 

It should also be noted that there is no assurance that any 
legally binding arrangement implementing the revised 
arrangements described above will be entered into or that any 
matter contemplated by the term sheet will be effected.

Analysis of financial results – IOOF Group

The IOOF Group’s UNPAT increased $22.1m or 13% to $191.4m 
for the year ended 30 June 2018 relative to $169.4m UNPAT in 
the prior year. Variances compare the year to 30 June 2018 with 
the year to 30 June 2017 and are denoted as prior year.

Gross margin increased by $9.4m

During the current year, average Funds Under Management, 
Administration and Advice (FUMA) were $118.9b, an increase 
of 8.6% on prior year. This increase was derived largely from 
equity market performance in the current year augmented by 
organic growth in advice and platform funds. Financial advice 
flows of $4.4b were up 48.3% on prior year. Outside of system 
growth and solid performance from aligned adviser groups, 
this was principally due to new advisers joining the IOOF 

Group under its Consultum license. Platform flows of $1.6b 
were up 33.7% on prior year. This segment benefited from 
higher levels of flows across the sector, enhanced capture 
of funds from other IOOF Group segments, principally 
trustee, and better penetration of the IOOF Group’s 
existing client base.

The higher level of average funds boosted gross margin 
by $42m, but was partly offset by the more rapid growth 
in products with lower earning rates or margins (impact of 
-$33m on prior year). Within platform, the lower rates for the 
current year principally reflected the continuing trend for 
a higher proportion of funds to be directed towards more 
contemporary platforms with lower fees, but commensurately 
lower attributable overheads. Investment management 
margins were relatively stable which is reflective of the steady 
state maturity and complementary nature of that segment. 
In financial advice, new business from incoming advisers was 
dilutive on segment margin overall.

Other revenue increased by $3.9m

The IOOF Group’s broking businesses’, (Ord Minnett and 
Bridges) contributions were up in comparison to prior year 
due to improved equity market conditions for new issues and 
traded volumes more broadly.

Operating expenditure decreased by $9.4m

The decrease in operating expenditure excludes the impact of 
expenditure items reversed when calculating UNPAT. The most 
significant factor was a $7.6m reduction in information 
technology costs, which was an initiative first noted in analysis 
of the first half of the current year’s results. This reduction was 
derived principally from a return to conventional recurring 
development spend following the completion of a number of 
client experience enhancement initiatives. The IOOF Group has 
also benefited from transferring software development from 
external consultants to internal employees. Labour represents 
the IOOF Group’s most material cost. Labour costs have 
increased by $1.9m which includes higher rates of pay and 
the transition of development resources noted above. 
The rate of increase has been significantly offset by lower staff 
numbers overall. This follows the realisation of efficiencies 
through platform rationalisation in the first half of prior year. 
Administration costs reduced significantly through recovery 
of costs previously regarded as unrecoverable and therefore 
expensed. Professional fees have decreased largely because 
prior year acquisition related legal costs were expensed when 
the relevant opportunities were unsuccessful. Occupancy 
related expenses increased due to significant reconfiguration 
of the property footprint which has resulted in certain one-off 
service fees and short term duplication.

IOOF annual report 2018Directors’ report (cont’d) 

Operating and financial review (cont’d)

Net financing costs decreased by $10.1m

Net financing costs reduced as a result of applying 
approximately $557m of newly issued capital and surplus 
cash to extinguish $207m in borrowings and the residual to 
certificates of deposit. This application of funds reflected the 
need to eliminate unnecessary debt carrying costs whilst 
maintaining a relatively high level of liquidity given the 
expectation of paying $800m in purchase consideration to 
ANZ on 1 October 2018.

Other impacts decreased UNPAT by $2.6m

Non-controlling interest was $1.5m higher in line with Ord 
Minnett’s increased profitability. Share of associates’ profits 
declined $1.0m relative to prior year as a result of mandate 
outflows within the Perennial Value Management Group (PVM). 

Share-based payments expense was $1.4m higher due to the 
rebalancing of certain adviser plans to long term incentives. 
Partly offsetting these impacts, depreciation and amortisation 
were reduced, reflecting an increased proportion of related 
assets at the end of their estimated useful lives.

Income tax expense increased by $8.2m

Income tax expense relative to prior year principally reflected 
the IOOF Group’s improved profitability. This was partly offset 
by increased research and development (R&D) tax offsets and 
prior year amendments. There was an $0.4m lower spend 
on treasury shares to fulfil employee share plans ($0.1m tax 
impact). The impact of this differential is relatively modest, 
in line with reasonable stability in the scale and breadth 
of plans overall.

•  Average funds’ growth has been particularly strong through the addition of advisers. This has brought new revenue streams into 

the IOOF Group, albeit at a dilutive margin as a percentage of average funds.

•  Operating expenditure has increased slightly. Costs have followed conventional seasonal trends with lower second halves derived 
from first half timing of adviser conferences. These events are largely profit neutral with expenses matched by participant and 
sponsor receipts in revenue.

•  Profitability improved due to more efficient delivery of products and services. Net operating margin, as represented by net 

operating revenue less operating expenditure divided by average funds, was stable at 0.32%.

•  Gross margin decreased as a result of net funds diminution in high priced legacy and transition platforms, partly offset by high 

growth in platforms priced at contemporary competitive fee scales.

•  Significantly reduced operating expenditure resulted primarily from reduced staff numbers, technology support and licence costs 
following platform rationalisation. In addition, there was higher IT investment in the prior year to facilitate higher levels of on-line 
transacting in future years.

Financial Position

The IOOF Group held cash and cash equivalents of $121.4m at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: $208.2m). Cash is held to satisfy regulatory 
net asset requirements and also to ensure adequate liquidity given management fee receipts are less frequent than payroll and service 
fee cash outflows.

The overall debt to equity ratio stood at 0% at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: 13%) following the issue of new capital to fund the planned 
ANZ Wealth Management acquisition and subsequent repayment of borrowings.

Cash flow forecasting is conducted monthly, principally to ensure sufficient liquidity for future needs and to monitor adherence to 
licence conditions, and stress testing of lending covenants is conducted when assessing funding options for acquisition opportunities.

Risks

The IOOF Group manages a number of risks in conducting its operations and implementing its strategy. An in depth discussion of risks 
and sensitivities is outlined in Section 1 of the financial statements. Material risks faced by the IOOF Group include, but may not be 
limited to, the following:

(i) Changes in investment markets

The IOOF Group derives a significant proportion of its earnings from fees and charges based on the level of FUMAS. The level of 
FUMAS will reflect (in addition to other factors such as the funds flowing into and out of FUMAS) the investment performance 
of those funds. Therefore, changes in domestic and/or global investment market conditions could lead to a decline in FUMAS, 
adversely impacting the amount the IOOF Group earn in fees and charges. Deterioration in investment market conditions could 
also lead to reduced consumer interest in the IOOF Group’s financial products and services. The principal response to this risk has 
been to establish comprehensive investment governance committees, policies and procedures which are subject to continuous 
monitoring and oversight.

3333

IOOF annual report 2018Directors’ report (cont’d) 

Operating and financial review (cont’d)

(ii) Competition

There is substantial competition for the provision of financial 
services in the markets in which the IOOF Group operates. 
A variety of market participants in specialised investment 
fund management, wealth advice and corporate trustee 
services compete vigorously for customer investments and the 
provision of wealth management services. These competitive 
market conditions may adversely impact earnings and assets. 
The IOOF Group manages this risk by continuously investing 
in product design, stakeholder relationships and continuous 
improvement initiatives.

(iii) Information technology

The IOOF Group relies heavily on information technology. 
Therefore, any significant or sustained failure in the IOOF 
Group’s core technology systems could have a materially 
adverse effect on operations in the short term, which in turn 
could undermine longer term confidence and impact the 
future profitability and financial position of the IOOF Group. 
The IOOF Group has implemented a next-generation firewall, 
pursues continuous improvements to protect user devices 
and imposes segregation of duties between technology 
environments. More broadly, the IOOF Group uses policies and 
procedures which are subject to continuous monitoring and 
oversight, maintains a significant complement of experienced 
staff and employs specialist advisers. Information technology 
controls are highly complementary to those employed to 
minimise cyber security risks.

(iv) Cyber security

There is a risk of significant failure in the IOOF Group’s 
operations and/or material financial loss as a result of cyber 
attacks. To manage this risk, the IOOF Group has followed 
the recommendation of ASIC and adopted the United 
States government’s National Institute of Standards and 
Technology cybersecurity framework. In doing so, the IOOF 
Group has implemented measures and controls that cover 
identification, detection, monitoring and response in relation 
to cyber threats. More broadly, the IOOF Group has developed 
and tested its disaster recovery capability and procedures, 
implemented high availability infrastructure and architectures, 
conducted mandatory staff training which is focused on 
cyber risk and continually monitor systems for signs of poor 
performance, intrusion or interruption. Cyber security controls 
are highly complementary to those employed to minimise 
information technology risks.

(v) Brands and reputation

The IOOF Group’s capacity to attract and retain financial 
advisers, employees, clients and FUMAS depends to a certain 
extent upon the brands and reputation of its businesses. 

3434

A significant and prolonged decline in key brand value or IOOF 
Group reputation could contribute to lower new business 
sales, reduced inflows of investment funds and assets, damage 
to client strategies and may impact adversely upon the IOOF 
Group’s future profitability and financial position. The IOOF 
Group actively monitors media and other public domain 
commentary on its affairs as well as proactively promoting the 
value of its services, products and community initiatives and 
building a customer centric culture.

(vi) Provision of investment advice

The IOOF Group’s financial advisers and authorised 
representatives provide advice to clients and may be exposed 
to litigation if this advice is judged to be incorrect or if the 
authorised representative otherwise becomes liable for client 
losses. This risk is managed by having high educational, 
compliance and training standards for the IOOF Group’s 
advisers whilst its potential financial impact is generally 
mitigated by taking out appropriate insurance cover.

(vii) Operational risks

Operational risk is the risk arising from the daily functioning 
of the IOOF Group’s businesses. The IOOF Group has specific 
operational exposures relevant to the industry in which we 
operate including exposures in connection with product 
disclosure statements, investment management, tax and 
financial advice, legal and regulatory compliance, product 
commitments, process error, fraud, system failure, failure of 
security and physical protection systems and unit pricing 
errors. This risk is minimised via policies and procedures which 
are subject to continuous monitoring and oversight. The IOOF 
Group maintains a significant complement of experienced 
staff, builds a positive culture and utilises specialist advisers to 
carry out such monitoring.

(viii) Conduct risk

Conduct risk is the risk of failure of the IOOF Group’s 
frameworks, product design or practices to prevent 
inappropriate, unethical or unlawful conduct (either 
by negligence or deliberate actions) on the part of the 
IOOF Group’s management, employees, contractors or 
representatives. The IOOF Group’s culture of honest and 
ethical behaviour is supported by the IOOF Code of Conduct 
and its Compliance Manual for Authorised Representatives, 
which set out the tenets of professional and personal 
conduct with which directors, employees, contractors, 
Authorised Representatives, agents and consultants are 
required to comply. These include promoting a healthy 
and safe environment, protecting private and confidential 
information, acting at all times within the law and acting in 
the best interests of the IOOF Group, its shareholders, clients 

IOOF annual report 2018and investors. As an additional safeguard, the IOOF Group’s 
Whistleblower Policy protects employees from detrimental 
action where employees disclose, in good faith and with 
reasonable grounds, any unethical, illegal, fraudulent or 
undesirable conduct.

the suspension or cancellation of the licence. While it is not 
expected to occur, a breach or loss of licences could have a 
material adverse effect on business and financial performance. 
AFS and RSE licences also require the licence holder to 
maintain certain levels of capital.

(ix) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will fail to 
meet its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
that arises from receivables, loans and other receivables. 
The IOOF Group’s counterparties generally do not have an 
independent credit rating. The IOOF Group assesses the credit 
quality of the debtor taking into account its financial position, 
past experience with the debtor, and other available credit 
risk information.

(x) Cash flow and interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk to the IOOF Group’s earnings 
and capital arising from changes in market interest rates. 
The financial instruments held that will be impacted by interest 
rate risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates 
of deposit, loans, and borrowings. Short and long-term 
investment mixes and loans to related entities are influenced 
by liquidity policy requirements.

Interest rates (both charged and received) are based on market 
rates, and are closely monitored by management. They are 
primarily at variable rates of interest, and will expose the IOOF 
Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The IOOF Group intends 
to apply partial hedge cover to manage its interest rate risk 
exposure arising from its expected future borrowings to fund 
the ANZ Wealth Management acquisition.

These capital requirements may change from time to time. 
Earnings dilution may occur where a higher capital base is 
required to be held.

(xiii) Insurance

The IOOF Group holds insurance policies, including errors and 
omissions (professional indemnity) and directors’ and officers’ 
insurance, which are commensurate with industry standards, 
and adequate having regard to our business activities. 
These policies provide a degree of protection for the IOOF 
Group’s assets, liabilities, officers and employees. However, no 
assurance can be given that any insurance that the IOOF Group 
currently maintains will:

•  be available in the future on a commercially 

reasonable basis; or

•  provide adequate cover against claims made against or by 
the IOOF Group, noting that there are some risks that are 
uninsurable (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological incidents) 
or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced (e.g. 
cyclone, earthquake, flood, fire).

The IOOF Group also faces risks associated with the financial 
strength of its insurers to meet indemnity obligations when 
called upon which could have an adverse effect on earnings. 
If the IOOF Group incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, its 
assets, profits and prospects may be adversely affected.

(xi) Liquidity risk

(xiv) Unit pricing errors

Liquidity risk relates to the IOOF Group having insufficient 
liquid assets to cover current liabilities and unforeseen 
expenses. The IOOF Group manages liquidity risk exposure 
by maintaining sufficient liquid assets and an ability to 
access a committed line of credit. The liquidity requirements 
for licensed entities in the IOOF Group are also regularly 
reviewed and carefully monitored in accordance with those 
licence requirements.

(xii) Reliance on Australian Financial Services 
Licence, Registrable Superannuation Entity and 
other licences

In order to provide the majority of its services in Australia, a 
number of the IOOF Group’s controlled entities are required to 
hold a number of licences, most notably Australian Financial 
Services (AFS) or Registrable Superannuation Entity (RSE) 
licences. If any of those entities fails to comply with the general 
obligations and conditions of its licence, this could result in 

Systems failures or errors in unit pricing of investments are 
issues affecting the broader funds management industry that 
may result in significant financial losses and brand damage to a 
number of financial services organisations. A unit pricing error 
made by the IOOF Group or its service providers could cause 
financial or reputation loss. This risk is minimised via policies, 
procedures and contractual enforcement which are subject 
to continuous monitoring and oversight. The IOOF Group 
maintains a significant complement of experienced staff and 
utilises specialist service providers to maintain robust systems 
and accurate inputs.

(xv) Dependence on key personnel

The IOOF Group’s performance is dependent on the talents 
and efforts of key personnel. The IOOF Group’s continued 
ability to compete effectively depends on our capacity to 
retain and motivate existing employees as well as attract new 
employees. The loss of key executives or advisers could cause 

3535

IOOF annual report 2018Directors’ report (cont’d) 

Operating and financial review (cont’d)

material disruption to operations in the short to medium term. 
While equity incentives of key personnel align their interests 
with the IOOF Group’s future performance, they do not 
provide a guarantee of their continued employment. The IOOF 
Group utilises succession planning to manage this risk.

(xvi) Dependence on financial advisers

The success of the IOOF Group’s advice and platform business 
is highly dependent on the quality of the relationships with 
its financial advisers and the quality of their relationships with 
their clients. The IOOF Group’s ability to retain productive 
advisers is managed by monitoring and, where necessary, 
improving service levels, technological capability, suitability 
of product offerings and the quality and relevance of 
professional training.

(xvii) Acquisitions

Acquisition transactions involve inherent risks, including:

to the extent that such shareholders do not subscribe to 
additional equity, or are otherwise not invited to subscribe in 
additional equity. This risk will be managed by examination of 
relevant factors and circumstances prevailing at that time.

(xix) Regulatory and legislative risk and reform

The financial services sectors in which the IOOF Group 
operates are subject to extensive legislation, regulation and 
supervision by a number of regulatory bodies in multiple 
jurisdictions. The regulatory regimes governing the IOOF 
Group’s business activities are complex and subject to change. 
The impact of future regulatory and legislative change upon 
the IOOF Group cannot be predicted. In addition, if the 
amount and complexity of new regulation increases, so too 
may the cost of compliance and the risk of non- compliance. 
The IOOF Group maintains a significant complement of 
experienced staff and holds relationships with specialist 
advisers to minimise this risk.

•  accurately assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, 

(xx) Royal Commission

contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability 
of acquired businesses;

• 

integration risks including the risk that integration could 
take longer or cost more than expected or that the 
anticipated benefits and synergies of the integration may 
be less than estimated;

•  diversion of management attention from existing business;

•  potential loss of key personnel and key clients;

•  unanticipated changes in the industry or general economic 
conditions that affect the assumptions underlying the 
acquisition; and

•  decline in the value of, and unanticipated costs, problems 

The Royal Commission was established on 14 December 2017 
by the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. 
The conduct and activities of the IOOF Group are included 
in its terms of reference. The Commissioner is authorised 
to submit an interim report no later than 30 September 
2018. The final report is due by 1 February 2019. Given those 
dates it is unclear at the date of reporting what impact the 
Royal Commission will have on the IOOF Group and the 
wealth management industry within which it operates. 
The IOOF Group has engaged external counsel and retains a 
complement of qualified staff to ensure it is able to interact 
appropriately with the Royal Commission.

or liabilities associated with, the acquired business.

(xxi) Sustainability risk

A sustainability risk is an uncertain environmental or social 
event or condition that, if it occurs, can cause a significant 
negative impact on the IOOF Group. The IOOF Group focuses 
on the environmental effects of its premises, investment 
manager policies and business processes in order to 
implement ways to minimise those effects. The IOOF Group 
also maintains a number of policies dedicated to diversity, 
inclusion and engagement to ensure that its interactions with 
clients, staff and other key external parties are conducted in a 
compliant manner which also meets community expectations.

Any of these risks could result in a failure to realise the benefits 
anticipated to result from any acquisition of new business and 
could have a material adverse impact on the IOOF Group’s 
financial position. The IOOF Group maintains a significant 
complement of experienced staff and holds relationships 
with specialist advisers to assess acquisition opportunities. 
This is designed to ensure the Board is fully informed of 
the risks and opportunities associated with any potential 
individual acquisition.

(xviii) Dilution

The IOOF Group’s need to raise additional capital in the future 
in order to meet its operating or financing requirements, 
including by way of additional borrowings or increases in the 
equity of any of the consolidated entity’s companies, may 
change over time. Future capital raisings or equity funded 
acquisitions may dilute the holdings of particular shareholders 

3636

IOOF annual report 2018Shareholder returns

The IOOF Group dividend is calibrated to provide shareholders with a benefit which reflects performance and offers an attractive yield 
when assessed against a range of other external economic factors and investment options. The Board also understands that dividend 
payments should not hinder future organisational plans. The Board has therefore determined that a pay-out ratio range of 60% – 90% 
of UNPAT is generally appropriate, but not binding. Due to the institutional placement completed by the IOOF Group during the year, 
the Board has determined that a stable dividend of 27.0 cents per share, resulting in a payout ratio of 98%, is appropriate to ensure 
shareholders are not diluted prior to the completion of the ANZ Wealth Management transaction.

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) measures the change in share value over a specified period together with the return by way of 
dividends received. The IOOF Group’s TSR for the 12 months to 30 June 2018 was -2.8% with a dividend yield of 6.0% more than offset 
by share price decline of 8.3%. The market valuation of the IOOF Group was reflective of uncertainty over the long term effects of the 
Royal Commission on the wealth management industry despite positive movements in global equity markets generally. TSR in the 5 
year period from 1 July 2013 was 57.7% in total and 9.5% on a compounding annualised basis. The IOOF Group is in a strong financial 
position with no borrowings and significant free cash.

1  Profit attributable to owners of the Company has been calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.

2  Return on equity is calculated by dividing UNPAT by average equity during the year.

Returns to shareholders increase/decrease through both dividends and capital growth/decline. Dividends for 2018 and prior years 
were fully franked. 

Dividends
In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the 
Directors declared the payment of a final dividend of 27.0 cents 
per share franked to 100% at 30% corporate income tax rate 
to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares to be paid on 4 
September 2018. This dividend will be paid to all shareholders 
recorded on the Register of Members on 21 August 2018.

The Directors declared the payment of an interim dividend 
of 27.0 cents per share franked to 100% at 30% corporate 
income tax rate to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares paid 
on 14 March 2018.

In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2017, a final 
dividend of 27.0 cents per share franked to 100% at 30% 
corporate income tax rate was paid to the holders of fully paid 
ordinary shares on 1 September 2017. 

Environmental regulation
The IOOF Group is not subject to significant 
environmental regulation.

IOOF annual report 2018Events occurring after balance date
The Directors have declared the payment of a final dividend 
of 27.0 cents per ordinary share franked to 100% based on tax 
paid at 30%, to be paid on 4 September 2018.

On 7 August 2018, the IOOF Group announced, in accordance 
with its continuous disclosure obligations, that it’s wholly-
owned subsidiary, Australian Executor Trustees Limited 
(AET), agreed settlements in relation to certain of the legal 
proceedings to which AET is party in connection with its role 
as debenture trustee of Provident Capital Limited (Provident 
and the Provident Proceedings).

AET entered into a settlement deed with Mr Creighton and 
has now finalised and will shortly execute the terms of a 
settlement deed with Mr and Mrs Smith, the representative 
plaintiffs in the two proceedings brought against AET in 
relation to Provident. Those settlements, when finalised, are 
expected to result in full and final settlement, without any 
admission as to liability, of all claims (including as to legal costs) 
made against AET as part of the Provident Proceedings. These 
settlements remain subject to approval by the Supreme Court 
of New South Wales.

As a result, and subject to Court approval of the settlements 
with Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Creighton, the amount AET 
is expected to be obliged to pay to the plaintiffs and group 
members in the Provident Proceedings is $44.3m.

AET also agreed settlements with PwC and HLB Mann Judd 
in respect of the cross-claims brought by AET against those 
parties as part of the Provident Proceedings, which relate to 
their role as auditors of Provident.

Subject to Court approval, these settlements are expected to 
resolve all aspects of the Provident Proceedings other than 
AET’s and the IOOF Group’s cross-claims against their insurers 
and insurance broker.

The IOOF Group and AET will continue to vigorously pursue 
their claims against their insurers and insurance broker to 

judgment (if a satisfactory settlement cannot be achieved 
prior). In pursuing those claims, AET and the IOOF Group are 
seeking to recover from those parties up to the whole of 
the amount that they are obliged to pay the plaintiffs and 
group members in the Provident Proceedings (less amounts 
recovered through the settlements with PwC and HLB Mann 
Judd), together with their costs of those Proceedings.

The IOOF Group will continue to keep the market informed 
in relation to the outcome of the Provident Proceedings and 
any settlement discussions in accordance with its continuous 
disclosure obligations.

The settlements with the representative plaintiffs amount to 
$44.3m and have been provided for in the year ended 30 June 
2018 as an adjusting event given the Provident Proceedings 
were active throughout that financial year.

The Directors are not aware of any other matter or 
circumstance not otherwise dealt with in this report, or the 
accompanying financial statements and notes thereto, that has 
arisen since 30 June 2018 that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect:

• 

• 

• 

the IOOF Group’s operations in future financial years; or

the results of those operations in future financial years; or

the IOOF Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Remuneration Report for further details.

Shares allocated on vesting will rank equally with all other 
ordinary shares on issue.

These performance rights do not entitle the holder 
to participate in any share issue or receive dividends 
of the Company.

Indemnification and insurance
Rule 84 of the IOOF Holdings Ltd Constitution requires the 
Company to indemnify to the extent permitted by law, each 
Director and Secretary against liability incurred in, or arising 
out of the conduct of the business of the Company or the 
discharge of the duties of the Director or Secretary. The 
Directors and Secretary named in this Directors’ Report have 
the benefit of this requirement, as do individuals who formerly 
held one of those positions.

In accordance with this requirement the Company has entered 
into Deeds of Access, Indemnity and Insurance (Deeds of 
Indemnity) with each Director and Secretary. During the 
financial year, the IOOF Group paid insurance premiums to 
insure against amounts that the IOOF Group may be liable 
to pay the Directors and Secretary pursuant to Rule 84. The 
insurance policy also insures the Directors and Secretary of 
the Company and its controlled entities, and the general 
officers of each of the companies in the IOOF Group. Details of 
the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance 
contract have not been disclosed as such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the contract.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in 
defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought 
against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities 

4040

in the IOOF Group and any other payments arising from 
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such 
proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of 
conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the 
improper use by the officers of their position or of information 
to gain advantage to themselves or someone else or to cause 
detriment to the Company.

Rounding off of amounts
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and 
in accordance with that Instrument amounts in the financial 
report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
narrative disclosures are expressed in whole dollars or as 
otherwise indicated.

Non-audit services
The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit 
services during the year of $811,195, by the auditor is 
compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. Non-audit 
services are managed as follows:

• 

fees earned from non-audit work undertaken by KPMG are 
capped at 1.0 times the total audit fee;

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to 
ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and

•  none of the services undermine the general principles 

relating to auditor independence as set out in the Code 
of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & 
Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the 
auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision- 
making capacity for the IOOF Group, acting as advocate 
for the IOOF Group or jointly sharing economic risks 
and rewards.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the 
Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf 
of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which 
the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility 
on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf 
of the Company with leave of the Court under section 237 of 
the Corporations Act 2001.

Remuneration report

Dear Shareholders

I am pleased to present our Remuneration Report for the year 
ended 30 June 2018 and explain some changes we have made, 
and propose to make, to our remuneration framework.

The IOOF Group’s goal is to continue to ensure that our 
remuneration framework and outcomes drive the right 
behaviours whilst motivating, rewarding and retaining our key 
people across the business. The Board has sought and listened 
to feedback on our remuneration approach from various 
stakeholders, as well as considered the spotlight placed on 
remuneration and culture by the Royal Commission, APRA’s 
views on executive remuneration and the proposed revised 
ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

Remuneration approach for the year ended 
30 June 2018

Recognising the matters and concerns raised by our various 
stakeholders, balanced with our desire to fairly remunerate 
our key people, the Remuneration Committee sought various 
input and carried out benchmarking exercises. Our review 
concluded that the following changes were appropriate for the 
year ended 30 June 2018:

• 

Increase to executive total fixed remuneration (TFR) 
in line with our overall staff approach. Noting that the 
TFR of our executives remains below the median of the 
comparator group.

•  Maximum short-term incentive (STI) opportunity for 

executives and the Managing Director (MD) will be capped 
at 100% of TFR, subject to the achievement of performance 
measures tied to our business plan.

•  From the year ended 30 June 2018 onwards, 50% of any 
STI payable to the MD and executives will be delivered 
in deferred shares, which will vest over the two years 
following completion of the performance period. A ‘look 
back’ approach will apply to these deferred shares.

•  Maximum long-term incentive (LTI) opportunity for the 
MD and executives will be set at 100% of TFR. For the 
MD, the entire award will be subject to a relative total 
shareholder return (TSR) metric. The Return on Equity (RoE) 
gateway included in the year ended 30 June 2018 will 
no longer apply.

•  For executives other than the MD, we have resolved to 

retain both a relative TSR metric (50%) and a tenure based 
element for the other 50%. We strongly believe that 
this tenure based LTI element, which we have used for 
some years, assists us to attract and retain quality people 
and aligns future performance with our shareholders’ 
expectations. Executive LTI will continue to have a three-
year vesting period, however shares vesting from the 
tenure-based rights (applicable to executives other than 

42

the MD) will have a holding lock applied for a further 12 
months. In consideration for that further holding lock, the 
TSR based element will be retested at the end of year four if 
some or all of the rights do not vest at the end of the three-
year vesting period.

•  We have for the last two years used governance key 
performance indicators for all staff and this year we 
are strengthening the links between risk and how it is 
factored into the remuneration framework and outcomes. 
For example, a gateway will be added to the STI which 
requires certain governance behaviours to be maintained 
in order for any vesting to occur under the STI. We are 
also further clarifying the roles played by, and interaction 
between, the Remuneration Committee and the Risk and 
Compliance Committee. The Remuneration Committee will 
receive regular updates from the Chief Risk Officer on risk 
matters relevant to remuneration.

Performance for the year ended 30 June 2018

The year ended 30 June 2018 was a very solid year for the IOOF 
Group, with accelerating growth across our businesses, net 
inflows, prudent cost management, an increased Underlying 
Net Profit After Tax and a maintained dividend.

Whilst we are confident in the IOOF Group’s strategy and 
that we are well placed for future growth, we have taken 
the external events of this year, the resulting impacts and 
our current share price into account in consideration of 
remuneration outcomes for the year. Those considerations are 
reflected in the body of this Report.

Remuneration approach for the year ended 
30 June 2019

In the year ended 30 June 2019, we will continue to review our 
framework to ensure that it supports our direction, culture, 
behaviours and expectations of our various internal and 
external stakeholders.

Yours sincerely

Allan Griffiths 
Remuneration Committee Chair

IOOF annual report 2018Executive Summary

This report details the remuneration framework and outcomes for Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the IOOF Group for the year 
ended 30 June 2018. The Board of Directors (Board) is committed to a remuneration strategy that aligns remuneration practices with 
the creation of shareholder value. The IOOF Group’s policies remain aligned with its business strategy and focus. The key underlying 
principles of the IOOF Group’s remuneration policy remain largely unchanged from last year, with key changes outlined in the letter 
from the Remuneration Committee Chair.

This report aims to communicate our remuneration practices in a clear, concise and transparent way and demonstrate how 
these practices:

•  align to strategic objectives and the creation of shareholder value;

•  are sufficient to attract, motivate and retain an ambitious and highly talented executive team; and

•  support an appropriate governance culture to minimise risks to clients and shareholders.

The IOOF Group’s TSR performance over the three years to 30 June 2018 was 11.8%, placing it at the 37th percentile relative to the ASX 
200. RoE for the year to 30 June 2018 was 11.3%. The impact of these outcomes on the Managing Director and other executive KMP 
Long Term Incentives is detailed at sections 3.2.2 and 4.1.2 below.

1.2 Summary - Key Management Personnel remuneration

Full year

Full year

Full year

Full year

Full year

The IOOF Group uses a total remuneration package approach in determining remuneration that comprises both “fixed” and “at 
risk” components. These components reflect an employee’s contribution to the IOOF Group, their skills and qualifications, market 
benchmarks and the remuneration environment.

The remuneration arrangements for KMP comprise three key components:

•  a base package which is a fixed amount and is reviewed on an annual basis with consideration given to cost of living increases 

(CPI), market movements or changes in the scope of the individual’s role and responsibilities; 

•  a Short Term Incentive (STI) amount which is tied to the successful achievement of a set of performance scorecard objectives 

(including financial, business excellence, strategic and governance objectives) for the annual performance period. STI awards are 
considered “at risk” components of an individual’s remuneration and, for STI awards over $100,000, the total STI is awarded as cash 
and share-based arrangements; and

•  a Long Term Incentive (LTI) which is intended to provide incentives to KMP to remain with the IOOF Group to enhance the 

sustainable performance of the IOOF Group over the long term. LTI awards are considered “at risk” components of an individual’s 
remuneration and are all share-based arrangements.

 The bonus reflects amounts provided under the STI program in relation to the financial year. One half of the bonuses awarded to the Managing Director and other 
executive KMP are paid in cash and one half are deferred into shares, of which 50% will vest in July 2019 and 50% in July 2020 subject to a ‘look back’. The deferred 
shares component of the STI are included as a share-based payment in this table. The expected payment value of the bonuses   is the amount shown and includes 
any amounts that may be sacrificed into superannuation.

 Non-monetary benefits include company funded benefits and fringe benefits tax payable on those benefits, typically car parking.

 Share-based payments include accruals in relation to the Executive Performance Share Plan and accruals in relation to other grants of performance rights over shares 
in the Company. The value of the number of shares and options expected to vest has been apportioned over the term from grant date to vesting date. STIs awarded 
in deferred shares are also shown here.

 This non-statutory disclosure provides shareholders with a view of the cash and other benefits received by KMP. Cash remuneration includes all remuneration paid 
during the financial year, including STIs for previous financial years. Shares received by the KMP during the year are also included at the closing share price on the date 
the shares were allocated less any consideration paid.

 As payment of the at-risk component is at the discretion of the Board, the minimum value is nil and the maximum is the total amount paid.

 S Merlicek ceased employment with the IOOF Group on 3 July 2017 and received a termination payment of $160,077. Performance rights that were due to vest in 2018 
and future financial years lapsed.

 Mr J Selak was appointed as a Non-Executive Director effective 14 October 2016.

 Non-Executive Directors appointed after 13 April 2003 are not entitled to retirement benefits. Non-Executive Directors appointed prior to this date accrued retirement 
benefits. Where entitled, the provision was based on the average emoluments of Non-Executive Directors over the previous three years’ of service. The benefit 
accrued after three years of service and varied according to the number of years of service, reaching twice the average annual emoluments after 10 years of service. 
R Sexton was paid $475,000 on his retirement on 24 November 2016. This amount was accrued at 30 June 2016 and relates to Director appointment pre 13 April 2003.

IOOF annual report 2018Remuneration report (cont’d)2. Remuneration Framework

2.3 Committee Members

2.1 Objectives

The Board is committed to a remuneration strategy that aligns 
remuneration practices with the creation of shareholder 
value. To realise this objective, the Board is committed to 
remuneration practices which align to the IOOF Group’s 
strategic objectives, are sufficient to attract, motivate and 
retain an ambitious and highly motivated executive team and 
promote an appropriate governance culture in line with the 
IOOF Group’s risk appetite.

2.2 Remuneration governance

The Board oversees the IOOF Group’s remuneration policies 
on recommendation from the Remuneration Committee. 
The Board and the Remuneration Committee review the 
remuneration policies of the IOOF Group annually to ensure 
that they support the IOOF Group’s objectives.

The IOOF Group’s Remuneration Framework, established by 
the Remuneration Committee, considers the adequacy of 
remuneration policies and practices within the IOOF Group on 
an annual basis, including:

•  determination of Managing Director and other executive 

remuneration arrangements;

•  ensuring that succession planning and development plans 

are in place for KMP and their potential successors;

•  on-going review and monitoring of short-term and long-

term incentive schemes;

•  setting key performance indicators and assessment of the 
Managing Director’s and the IOOF Group’s performance 
against those key performance indicators;

•  overall compensation arrangements of the IOOF Group;

The Committee is comprised solely of Non-Executive 
Directors, all of whom are independent. The members of the 
Remuneration Committee for the year ended 30 June 2018 
were Mr Allan Griffiths (Chair), Mr George Venardos and Ms 
Elizabeth Flynn.

The Board considers that the members of the Remuneration 
Committee provide an appropriate mix of skills to undertake 
its terms of reference, having regard to their qualifications, 
knowledge of the financial services industry and experience in 
business management.

In order to ensure that it is fully informed when making 
remuneration decisions, the Remuneration Committee 
receives regular reports and updates from the Company 
Secretary and the Group General Manager, People and 
Culture and other members of management invited by 
the Remuneration Committee to attend meetings when 
appropriate. The Remuneration Committee can also draw on 
services from a range of external sources, including access 
to benchmarking material and remuneration consultants. 
This enables the IOOF Group to remain competitive with 
relevant competitors in the financial services sector and the 
broader spectrum of public companies of similar size, revenue 
and profitability.

2.4 How remuneration is determined

Executive remuneration comprises a number of components 
including total fixed remuneration (TFR), STIs (partially in 
deferred shares) and LTIs in the form of performance rights 
over ordinary shares. LTIs are subject to appropriate, pre-
determined performance hurdles. Each of these forms of 
remuneration are described in detail below.

•  ensuring remuneration policies are appropriate to Non-

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)

Executive Directors;

•  ongoing review of the composition, skill base and 
performance of Non-Executive Directors; and

•  compliance with regulatory requirements including the ASX 
Listing Rules and the associated ASX Corporate Governance 
Principles and meeting both ASIC and APRA requirements.

The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes 
recommendations to the Board on the remuneration structure 
and policies applicable to the KMP and Non-Executive 
Directors of the IOOF Group, as well as the wider IOOF 
employee population.

The Remuneration Committee’s charter is available on the 
Corporate Governance page of the Company’s website at 
www.ioof.com.au

TFR includes a combination of base salary, employer 
superannuation contributions and other fringe benefits 
that an individual employee could choose to salary 
sacrifice (e.g. superannuation, motor vehicle). TFR is based on 
what is appropriate to the position taking into consideration 
expertise, responsibility, knowledge, experience and 
market competitiveness.

Short Term Incentive (STI) 

The STI opportunity is one half cash-based, one half deferred 
share-based incentive, forming part of each KMP’s total 
remuneration package, the value of which is tied to the 
successful achievement of a set of performance objectives, 
as outlined below. For both the Managing Director and other 
executive KMP, the maximum STI is up to 100% of TFR.

47

IOOF annual report 2018Objectives are drawn from the following categories:

•  Customer

Performance measures include Net Promoter Score (NPS) 
and Wealth Insights.

•  Financial

Performance measures include Underlying Profit After Tax 
(UNPAT), TSR and RoE.

•  Business excellence

Performance measures for the year ended 30 June 2018 
included operational targets such as long-term structural 
reductions to the cost base of the IOOF Group, balance 
sheet and liquidity initiatives and improvements to the 
performance of business units.

•  Strategy

Measurable progress towards achieving longer term 
strategic goals. This includes, but is not limited to, 
implementation of major platform consolidation, regulatory 
adherence, growth through acquisition (including the 
planned ANZ Wealth Management transaction), divestment 
of non-core assets and product rationalisation initiatives.

•  Governance 

Risk management, regulatory and IOOF Group compliance 
and ensuring that outcomes from internal and external 
audits are actioned.

•  People and culture

Action plans from employee Engagement and Alignment 
survey, improvement in that survey and developing 
leadership capability.

Long Term Incentive (LTI) 

The Board considers a long-term performance-related 
incentive component to be an important element of the 
executive reward framework. The IOOF Group utilises equity 
based incentives in the form of deferred shares (for STIs) and 
performance rights. These LTIs are currently subject to the 
achievement of a gateway qualifying condition (Managing 
Director only), which will be removed for future years, 
minimum service periods and appropriate performance 
hurdles. The LTI element of the Managing Director’s 
remuneration is described in detail in section 3 of this report.

Early vesting may occur in certain circumstances, subject to the 
performance hurdle being achieved and Board approval:

•  on a person/entity acquiring more than 20% of the voting 
shares in the Company pursuant to a takeover bid that has 
become unconditional;

•  on the termination of employee due to death or 

permanent disability; or

48

• 

in other exceptional circumstances where the Board 
determines appropriate.

The performance hurdle for current LTI plans has been linked 
to IOOF Group TSR compared to S&P ASX200 companies at the 
date of grant. TSR represents the change in the value of a share 
plus the value of dividends paid. TSR was chosen as the most 
appropriate comparative measure as it focuses on the delivery 
of shareholder value and is a well understood and tested 
metric of performance. The tenure based element, which has 
been used for some years for other executive KMP, assists the 
IOOF Group to attract and retain quality people and aligns 
future performance with shareholders’ expectations.

The Remuneration Committee engaged the services 
of an independent external organisation (Deloitte) to 
calculate the IOOF Group’s performance against the TSR 
performance hurdles.

Deferral arrangements

The Board has implemented deferral arrangements and ‘look 
back’ provisions on a portion of the STI (deferred shares) for 
the Managing Director and other executive KMP. The deferral 
element of the Managing Director’s remuneration is described 
in detail in Section 3.2 of this report.

‘Look back’ events:

•  an executive engages or has engaged in fraud, dishonesty 

or gross misconduct;

• 

• 

• 

the financial results that led to the executive’s STI 
reward being provided are subsequently shown to be 
materially misstated;

the executive behaves or has behaved in a manner which 
brings the IOOF Group into disrepute; or

the Board determines, in its absolute discretion, that the 
executive’s STI reward is an inappropriate benefit.

Hedging of unvested securities

The IOOF Group Policy - Personal Trading in IOOF Holdings 
Limited Securities contains a restriction on KMP and other 
employees entering into a hedging transaction to remove 
the “at risk” aspect of securities that have been granted 
to them as part of their remuneration package and which 
have not vested subject to performance conditions and/or 
which are still subject to forfeiture conditions. Employees are 
provided with a copy of this policy and are required to provide 
annual certification that they have complied with the policy. 
Failure to comply with the policy may result in disciplinary 
action, including forfeiture of the securities, suspension or 
termination of employment.

IOOF annual report 2018Remuneration report (cont’d)2.5 Services from consultants

The Remuneration Committee seeks and considers advice from independent, external remuneration consultants where appropriate. 
Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Ltd was engaged during the year to perform a benchmarking exercise for senior executive 
remuneration at a cost of $23,000. A number of recommendations were implemented which are highlighted in the letter from the 
Remuneration Committee Chair on page 42.

2.6 Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

following indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years.

STI payments awarded to KMP are commensurate to the IOOF Group’s levels of profitability and scale of operations. As is consistent 
with the IOOF Group’s adherence to effective cost management, STI levels from 2014 to 2018 recognise KPIs specific to individuals 
rather than being solely determined by profitability.

3. Managing Director Remuneration

3.2 Managing Director remuneration

3.1 Summary of Managing Director 
remuneration outcomes for 2018

Performance outcomes for the Managing Director for the year 
ended 30 June 2018 were as follows:

• 

• 

• 

the maximum opportunity for STI in 2018 was 100% of base 
salary. For the reasons noted in section 3.2.1, the assessment 
resulted in awarding 50% of the Managing Director’s base 
salary. One half of this payment was paid in cash $314,302 
and one half in 36,632 deferred shares;

the Board performed a ‘look back’ for the 35,420 deferred 
shares awarded in August 2017 and determined that 
this ‘look back’ should be postponed, as noted in 
section 3.2; and

the performance rights awarded in 2016 were subject 
to performance testing for the year ended 30 June 
2018. The IOOF Group’s TSR of 11.8% over the three year 
performance period placed it at the 37th percentile relative 
to the ASX 200 as a comparator group. This percentile 
ranking means that none of the 75,000 performance rights 
awarded to Mr Kelaher have vested.

During the year ended 30 June 2018, Mr Kelaher received 
a remuneration package comprising TFR of $1,257,208. 
Mr Kelaher was entitled to a total STI opportunity of up to a 
maximum of $1,257,208 (100% of TFR) based on achievement 
of superior performance against set targets determined 
by the Board on recommendation from the Remuneration 
Committee, as outlined in section 3.2.1. In August 2018 the 
Board assessed Mr Kelaher’s performance at 85% against 
those targets. The Board took into account the external events 
that arose during the year and the share price performance 
and determined it appropriate to exercise its discretion 
to reduce the STI payable to $628,604, being 50% of the 
eligible opportunity.

The STI opportunity was settled one half by cash and one half 
in the form of deferred shares. The number of deferred shares 
granted to Mr Kelaher was determined on the basis of the STI 
deferral amount divided by the five day Volume Weighted 
Average Price up to and including the trading day prior to 
the date of the allocation, which was $8.58. The number of 
deferred shares to be issued accordingly was 36,632 (capped at 
75,000 annually) and there is no consideration payable for the 
grant of the deferred shares. Half of those shares are subject 
to ‘look back’ in July 2019 and the other half in July 2020. 
This means that the Board will conduct a review of Mr Kelaher 
and the IOOF Group’s performance in July 2019 and July 2020 
and assess whether any of the ‘look back’ events detailed in 
section 2.4 have occured and whether it is still appropriate to 
award the deferred shares.

In August 2018, the Board performed a ‘look back’ review in 
regards to the 35,420 deferred shares issued in August 2017. 
For the reasons noted above in relation to the STI award, the 
Board resolved that this consideration should be postponed 
until the outcome of those external events are known.

IOOF annual report 2018Remuneration report (cont’d)3.2.1 Short term incentive: targets and outcomes

The key areas of focus for the Managing Director’s STI targets/objectives for the 2018 performance period are shown below. 
The targets/objectives which were set for the year ended 30 June 2018 included both objective and subjective measures. The Board 
assessed each of the Managing Director’s targets and resolved that the Managing Director had performed exceptionally well against 
these measures, with an assessment at 85% of the total opportunity. For the reasons noted above, the Board resolved to award an STI 
amount of $628,604.

51

IOOF annual report 20183.2.2  Long term incentive: targets and outcomes 

The Managing Director is eligible for an LTI award, with the amount to be determined each year by the Board. The LTI amount is paid 
via performance rights, up to this year subject to a gateway qualifying condition and TSR hurdle.

Performance rights - gateway condition 

Notwithstanding the gateway qualifying condition and TSR hurdle, the awarding of performance rights or similar remuneration 
bonuses remains at the discretion of the Board.

For consideration to be given to the awarding of any performance rights to the Managing Director that were granted for the 
year ended 30 June 2018 and prior, the IOOF Group must achieve a minimum RoE of 1.5 times the Long Term Bond Rate (10 year 
bond yield) (LTBR). Only when this gateway condition is met, is consideration given to the TSR hurdle and the potential vesting of 
performance rights. That is, if less than 1.5 times the LTBR is achieved, no performance rights are eligible to vest. If 1.5 and up to 
2.0 times the LTBR is achieved, 50% of the performance rights are eligible to vest. If 2.0 to up to 2.5 times is met, then 75% of the 
performance rights will be eligible to vest and 100% will be eligible to vest if 2.5 times (or above) the LTBR is achieved. The RoE 
gateway condition was developed by the Board to ensure that an LTI is not paid in a period of low or negative performance.

RoE is calculated by dividing UNPAT by average equity on issue during the year. Summary of RoE performance against the LTBR over 
the past 5 years is outlined below:

As noted above, only once the gateway qualifying condition is satisfied, will the performance hurdle be assessed.

The performance hurdle relates to the IOOF Group’s TSR over a three year period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020 measured 
against the TSR of a group of companies comprising the S&P ASX 200 as at 1 July 2017. The performance rights are subject to a 
TSR hurdle whereby the IOOF Group’s TSR must be greater than the median TSR of S&P/ASX200. The TSR hurdle has progressive 
vesting on a straight line basis, such that 2% of LTI awards vest for each 1% ranking increase from 50th percentile. All vest if 75th 
percentile is achieved.

As approved at the Annual General Meeting on 23 November 2017, Mr Kelaher is entitled to participate in an LTI program offering 
a maximum reward opportunity of 122,500 performance rights in respect of the 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020 performance period. 
The number of rights submitted to the AGM for approval was determined on 1 August 2017 by the Remuneration Committee based 
on the face value of the shares, up to a maximum of 100% of the Managing Directors base salary. On that date, the face value of IOOF 
shares was $10.04, hence 122,500 performance rights were granted for a total maximum value of $1,231,350 (100% of total base salary).

3.4 Remuneration for the year ended  
30 June 2019

The IOOF Group’s TSR performance over the period was 
11.8% placing it at the 37th percentile relative to the 
ASX 200. This resulted in none of 75,000 performance 
rights vesting in July 2018.

2019 Series Approval to be sought at the November 
2018 Annual General Meeting - Managing Director

Approval will be sought at the 28 November 2018 Annual 
General Meeting for the issue of 140,785 performance rights. 
The gateway qualifying condition will be removed, with the 
performance hurdles to remain the same as those selected 
for the 2018 grant. 100% of the performance rights granted to 
the Managing Director will be subject to a relative TSR metric. 
Following feedback from various stakeholders and its own 
assessment, the Remuneration Committee considers that 
the RoE hurdle is no longer necessary or meeting a required 
need as a gateway. The performance period will be from 
1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021, with vesting to occur on 1 July 
2021. The number of rights was determined on 17 August 
2018 by the Board based on the face value of the shares, 
up to a maximum of 100% of the Managing Director’s base 
salary. On that date, the face value of IOOF shares was $8.93, 
hence 140,785 performance rights were recommended for 
granting, for a total maximum value of $1,257,208 (100% of 
total base salary).

3.3 Change of control and cessation of 
employment

The Board has determined that, if there is a change of control, 
any unvested LTIs may vest subject to the approval of the 
Board. If the Board so determines, any unvested performance 
rights may become exercisable. On cessation of employment, 
unvested LTIs will be dealt with as follows:

Reason for 
termination

Treatment of unvested LTIs

Termination of 
employment 
by IOOF by 
notice

The Board has discretion to waive the 
performance hurdles or determine that the 
proportion (if any) of unvested LTIs that will 
vest

Termination of 
employment 
by IOOF for 
cause

Resignation by 
Mr Kelaher

Dismissal 
for serious 
misconduct 
(eg fraud)

Unvested performance rights and share 
options are forfeited

The Board has discretion to waive the 
performance hurdles or determine that the 
proportion (if any) of unvested LTIs that will 
vest

Unvested performance rights and share 
options are forfeited

The Board, on the recommendation of the Remuneration 
Committee, has increased the Managing Director’s total 
fixed annual remuneration to $1,288,638 for the financial year 
commencing 1 July 2018.

STI terms will be the same as for the year ended 30 June 2018, 
with an opportunity of up to 100% of total fixed remuneration, 
with specific performance hurdles relating to: the continuing 
growth of the business, product development, achievement 
of management efficiencies, succession planning, profitability, 
compliance, risk management and corporate governance. 
The STI governance gateway and deferral arrangements 
remain unchanged with one half of the STI award to be paid 
in cash shortly after the performance assessment has been 
completed at year end, and one half will be used to purchase 
Company shares which will be released in July 2020 and July 
2021 after ‘look back’ reviews.

The remuneration of other executive KMP is determined by the Managing Director, recommended by the Remuneration Committee 
and approved by the Board. Details of the total value of fixed, STI and LTI for each other executive KMP is provided in section 1 
of this report. 

4.1.1 Short term incentive: targets and outcomes

50% of STIs payable to the other executive KMP were delivered in deferred shares, which will vest over two years. The ‘look back’ 
policy summarised in section 2.4 applies to these deferred shares. 

4.1.2 Long term incentive: targets and outcomes

A summary of the current performance rights on issue to other executive KMP is as shown below. Vesting of performance rights 
is subject to serving a three year employment period commencing on the date of grant. 50% of the grant is then subject to a TSR 
progressive vesting scale. TSR was chosen as the most appropriate comparative measure as it focuses on the delivery of shareholder 
value and is a well understood and tested metric of performance This scale is the same as applies to the Managing Director as 
outlined in section 3.2.2 of this report.

In July 2018, the other executive KMP each had nil of 7,500 performance rights vest under this TSR measure and 7,500 rights vested 
on the basis of fulfilling a three year service period obligation. The aggregated vested performance rights for other executive 
KMP was 22,500.

In addition to a continuing employment service condition, the ability to exercise the performance rights is conditional on the IOOF 
Group achieving certain performance hurdles. Details of the performance criteria are included in the performance rights hurdles at 
sections 3 and 4 of the Remuneration Report.

The following series performance hurdles were tested during the financial year:

 The percentage forfeited in the year represents the reduction from the maximum number of options or performance rights available to vest due to performance 
criteria not being achieved.

 In August 2018, the Board performed a ‘look back’ review in regards to the 35,420 deferred shares issued in August 2017. The Board resolved that this consideration 
should be postponed.

In addition to continued service to the IOOF Group, the performance hurdle remains unchanged from previous TSR hurdle over three 
years as outlined in section 3.2.2.

Rights vesting from the tenure-based hurdle will have a holding lock applied for a further 12 months. In consideration for that further 
holding lock, the TSR based element will be retested once only in 2022 if some or all of the rights do not vest in 2021.

IOOF annual report 2018Remuneration report (cont’d)8. Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

8.1 Overview

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated for their skilled input, time responsibilities and commitment to the IOOF Group through the 
payment of a fixed fee inclusive of superannuation. Non-Executive Directors do not receive additional fees for service on individual 
Board Committees or subsidiary companies.

To ensure that independence and impartiality is maintained, fees to Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the 
Company and Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in any of the IOOF Group’s incentive arrangements.

8.2 Terms of appointment

All Non-Executive Directors have letters of appointment detailing the terms under which they are engaged. The term of appointment 
for each is open-ended, subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution. Under the Constitution, 
one-third of Directors must retire from office each year and may seek re-election by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting 
of the Company.

The Company’s Constitution requires that the aggregate remuneration paid or provided to all Non-Executive Directors in any financial 
year by the Company, its subsidiaries and associated entities may not exceed an amount approved by shareholders. This ceiling 
amount includes all remuneration provided to Non-Executive Directors, including superannuation but not including retirement 
benefits. The current limit of $1,250,000 per annum was approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting and the 
remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors remains within the shareholder approved limits.

contributions limit) which satisfies the IOOF Group’s statutory superannuation contributions and are 
included in the base fee.

IOOF annual report 201864Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matter we identified is: •Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets - $940.2m and $408.3m Refer to Note 4-3 Goodwill and 4-2 Intangible Assets to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit A key audit matter was whether the Group’s value in use models for goodwill and intangible assets impairment included assumptions that were appropriate having regard to accounting standards.  Specific intangible assets we focused on related to customer relationships and brand names.  The size of the goodwill and intangible assets relative to the total assets of the Group (being 30.0% and 13.0% respectively) and the level of judgement required by the Group, contributed to this being a key audit matter.  The models and forecast assumptions incorporated significant judgement in respect of key factors such as: discount rates, revenue growth, and forecasted funds under management, as well as economic assumptions such as inflation rates. Changes in the underlying assumptions can significantly impact the recoverable amount of the relevant intangible assets and can therefore give rise to impairment. The Group recorded an impairment charge of $28.3m against goodwill. This related to the Perennial Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) as a result of reduced profitability from lower revenues. Revenue decline has arisen due to institutional outflows. This increased the sensitivity of the model to small changes and further increased our audit effort in this key audit area.   Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included: • Testing of key controls, such as the assessment and approval of internal forecasts, to evaluate the Group’s goodwill and intangible asset valuation process; • We considered the appropriateness of the value in use method applied by the Group to perform the annual test of goodwill and intangibles for impairment against the requirements of the accounting standards. • For goodwill, customer relationships and brand names, we challenged the Group’s key assumptions, in particular those relating to discount rates, revenue growth and forecasted funds under management by analysing historical data and taking into consideration expected future events, and verifying the key market related assumptions to external data, through the following procedures:-We compared relevant data in the models to the latest Board approved forecasts; - We assessed the accuracy of previous Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the models; - We independently developed a discount rate range considered comparable using publicly available data for comparable entities, adjusted by risk factors specific to the Group’s CGUs and the industry they operate in; - We assessed the integrity of the value in use models used, including the accuracy of the underlying formulas in the calculations; - We considered the sensitivity of the models by varying key assumptions such as revenue growth and discount rates, within a reasonably possible 65

IOOF annual report 201865We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter.range, to identify those CGUs at higher risk of impairment and to further focus our procedures; and - We assessed the key assumptions for consistent application across the Group. • We recalculated the impairment charge from the Perennial CGU model against the recorded amount and reconciled it to the amount disclosed; and • We assessed the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding of the issue obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.   Other Information Other Information is financial and non-financial information in IOOF Holding Ltd’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the Other Information.  The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report, and the Remuneration Report.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The Directors are responsible for: •preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; •implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and •assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  66

IOOF annual report 201866Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objective is: •to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  •to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2018

Section 1 – Financial instruments and risk management

The IOOF Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial and non-financial risks. Financial risks include: market risks (including 
price risk, currency risk and cash flow and interest rate risk), credit risk, statutory fund and liquidity risk. The nature of the financial 
risk exposures arising from financial instruments, the objectives, policies and processes for managing these risks, and the methods 
used to measure them are detailed below. Key non-financial exposures, such as operational risk and a failure to meet regulatory 
compliance obligations, are discussed in detail in the Operating and Financial Review.

1-1  Risk management

IOOF risk management framework

Risk is defined as the chance of an event occurring that will 
have an impact on the strategic or business objectives of 
the IOOF Group, including a failure to exploit opportunities. 
The IOOF Group’s risk management process involves the 
identification of material risks, assessment of consequence 
and likelihood, implementation of controls to manage 
risks, and continuous monitoring and improvement of the 
procedures in place.

The IOOF Group’s objective is to satisfactorily manage its risks 
in line with the IOOF Group’s Risk Management Policy set by 
the Board, and this aligns to International Standard ISO 31000. 
The IOOF Group’s Risk Management Framework manages 
the risks faced by the IOOF Group, with approaches varying 
depending on the nature of the risk. The IOOF Group maintains 
a framework to ensure regulatory compliance obligations 
are managed in accordance with Australian Standard 3806 
Compliance Programs. The IOOF Group’s exposure to all 
material risks is monitored by the Risk Team and this exposure, 
and emerging risks, are regularly reported to the Risk and 
Compliance Committee, and the Board. 

The IOOF Group’s income and operating cash flows are 
indirectly impacted by changing market conditions. Its 
exposure is through the impact of market changes on the 
level of funds under management and administration, and 
consequently management fee and service fee revenue. 
Information has been provided below only on the direct 
impact of changing market conditions to the IOOF Group’s 
income and operating cash flows.

Financial risk

The financial risk management objectives, policies and 
processes and the quantitative data about the exposure to 
risk at the reporting date, as set out in the remainder of this 
note, excludes the benefit funds and the controlled unit trusts. 
This is because the risks associated with financial instruments 
held by the benefit funds and controlled trusts are borne 
by  the policyholders and members of those funds and 

72

trusts, and not the shareholders of the IOOF Group. There is 
no direct impact on the net profit or the equity of the IOOF 
Group as a consequence of changes in markets as they apply 
to financial instruments held by those funds and trusts at the 
reporting date.

Similarly the objectives, policies and processes for managing 
the risks of the IOOF Group are separate and distinct from 
those for the benefit funds and trusts. The funds and trusts 
are managed under extensive regulatory requirements, 
and in accordance with specific investment guidelines, risk 
management strategies, risk management plans, and product 
disclosure statements. The IOOF Group is managed under 
a set of separate corporate policies and review processes 
that are directed toward the interests of the shareholders of 
the IOOF Group.

Information in relation to financial risks associated with the 
benefit funds and controlled trusts is available in their Product 
Disclosure Statements and the individual annual financial 
reports of those trusts.

Further information in relation to the Australian Accounting 
Standards requirement to consolidate the benefit funds and 
controlled trusts in the consolidated financial statements of the 
IOOF Group is available in Note 7-3(b) Basis of consolidation.

(a)  Market risk

(i) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future earnings of 
a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market prices (other than from interest rate risk or currency 
risk, as described later). The financial instruments managed 
by the IOOF Group that are impacted by price risk consist 
of investment units held in trusts and available for sale 
financial assets.

The price risk associated with the units held in trusts is that 
the fair value of those units will fluctuate with movements in 
the redemption value of those units, which in turn is based 
on the fair value of the underlying assets held by the trusts. 
Available for sale financial assets are exposed to price risk as 
the share price fluctuates.

IOOF annual report 2018IOOF Group sensitivity

(b)  Credit risk

At 30 June 2018 had the price of the units / shares held by the 
IOOF Group in unlisted unit trusts / shares in other entities 
increased / decreased by 1% (2017: 1%) with all other variables 
held constant, post-tax profit for the year would increase / 
decrease by $6,000 (2017: $5,000) as a result of gains / losses 
recorded through profit or loss, and available-for-sale reserves 
would increase / decrease by $236,000 (2017: $178,000).

(ii) Currency risk

The IOOF Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation 
to the financial instruments of its foreign activities in New 
Zealand and Hong Kong is immaterial.

(iii) Cash flow and interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk to the IOOF Group’s earnings 
and capital arising from changes in market interest rates. 
The financial instruments held that are impacted by interest 
rate risk consist of cash, loans, and borrowings.

Short and long-term investment mixes and loans to related 
entities are influenced by liquidity policy requirements. Interest 
rates (both charged and received) are based on market rates, 
and are closely monitored by management. They are primarily 
at variable rates of interest, and expose the IOOF Group to cash 
flow interest rate risk.

Management regularly assesses the appropriateness of 
the investment of surplus funds with the objective of 
maximising returns.

There is limited exposure to fair value interest rate risk because 
of the relatively short time frame of any fixed rate investments 
and borrowings.

IOOF Group sensitivity

At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had changed by +/- 100 basis 
points (2017: +/- 100 basis points) from the year-end rates with 
all other variables held constant, post tax profit for the year 
would have increased/decreased by $nil (2017: $1,448,000). 
Equity would have been higher/lower by the same amount.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will fail to meet 
its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
IOOF Group. Credit risk arises for the IOOF Group from cash, 
receivables and loans.

The IOOF Group mitigates its credit risk by ensuring cash 
deposits are held with high credit quality financial institutions 
and other highly liquid investments are held with trusts 
operated by the IOOF Group. Where investments are held 
in units in a trust operated by the IOOF Group, that trust is 
subject to the rules of the trust deed and the investment in 
underlying assets is subject to asset allocation guidelines.

Receivables consist of management fees receivable, service 
fees receivable and other amounts receivable from related 
parties. These counterparties generally do not have an 
independent credit rating, and the IOOF Group assesses the 
credit quality of the debtor taking into account its financial 
position, past experience with the debtor, and other available 
credit risk information. In relation to management fees 
receivable, the IOOF Group is contractually entitled to deduct 
such fees from investors’ account balances, in accordance with 
the Product Disclosure Statements, and pass the fees to the 
Responsible Entity or Trustee. Due to this pass-through process 
the embedded credit risk is considered minimal.

Other receivables are regularly monitored by line management.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date 
is the carrying value of the financial assets as summarised 
in the table included in this note below. The IOOF Group 
does not hold any significant collateral as security over its 
receivables and loans, apart from its recourse to certain shares 
in subsidiaries in relation to loans to executives of subsidiaries.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within 
the IOOF Group.

The IOOF Group does not hold any Other financial assets 
whose terms have been renegotiated, but which would 
otherwise be past due or impaired.

The credit quality of the financial assets that are neither past 
due nor impaired as at balance date was consistent with that 
described above, and management assesses the credit risk 
associated with these reported balances as being minimal. 
Information in relation to impaired receivables and past due 
but not impaired receivables is included below.

73

IOOF annual report 2018Impaired receivables

(c)  Statutory Fund Risk

Financial risks are monitored and controlled by selecting 
appropriate assets to back policy liabilities. The assets 
are regularly monitored by the Investment Management 
Committee to ensure there are no material exposures and 
that liability mismatching issues and other risks such as 
liquidity risk and credit risk are maintained within acceptable 
limits. The Investment Management Committee is chaired by 
an independent expert and its membership is drawn from 
appropriately skilled senior management. There are no Non-
Executive Directors on this Committee.

The IOOF Group’s friendly society operations are subject to 
regulatory capital requirements which prescribe the amount 
of capital to be held depending on the type, quality and 
concentration of investments held. Procedures are in place to 
monitor compliance with these requirements. Refer to Section 
5 - Statutory funds for further details.

(d)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the IOOF Group having insufficient 
liquid assets to cover current liabilities and unforeseen 
expenses. The IOOF Group maintains a prudent approach to 
managing liquidity risk exposure by maintaining sufficient 
liquid assets and an ability to access a committed line of credit. 
It is managed by continuously monitoring actual and forecast 
cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial 
assets and liabilities. Temporary surplus funds are invested in 
highly liquid, low risk financial assets.

The IOOF Group had access to undrawn bank borrowing 
facilities at the balance date, on the terms described and 
disclosed in section 3-2 Borrowings. The liquidity requirements 
for licensed entities in the IOOF Group are regularly 
reviewed and carefully monitored in accordance with those 
licence requirements.

As at 30 June 2018, $2,671,000 trade receivables of the IOOF 
Group were past due but not impaired (2017: $3,447,000). 
The amount of the impairment provision was $607,000 
(2017: $585,000).

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written 
off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance 
account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is 
used when there is objective evidence that the IOOF Group 
may not be able to collect all amounts due according to the 
original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulty 
of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy 
or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in 
payments (more than 120 days overdue) are considered 
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount 
of the impairment allowance is the difference between the 
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated 
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest 
rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not 
discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or 
loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which 
an impairment allowance has been recognised becomes 
uncollectible in a subsequent year, it is written off against 
the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts 
previously written off are credited against other expenses 
in profit or loss

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018(e)  Accounting policies and fair value estimation

Certificates of deposit

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are equal to 
the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial 
position with the exception of finance lease liabilities which are 
disclosed in note 3-2 Borrowings.

Certificates of deposit includes deposits with original 
maturities of more than three months.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Offsetting assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 
presented in the statement of financial position when, and 
only when, the IOOF Group has a legal right to offset the 
amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise 
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Non-derivative financial assets

The IOOF Group initially recognises loans and receivables and 
deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial 
assets (including assets designated at fair value through 
profit or loss) are recognised initially on the date at which the 
IOOF Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of 
the instrument.

The IOOF Group derecognises a financial asset when the 
contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or 
it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on 
the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all 
the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are 
transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that 
is created or retained by the IOOF Group is recognised as a 
separate asset or liability.

The IOOF Group has the following non-derivative 
financial assets:

•  cash;

•  certificates of deposit;

•  financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;

•  available-for-sale financial assets; and

• 

loans and receivables.

Cash

Cash includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial 
institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with 
original maturities of three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash.

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or 
loss if the IOOF Group manages such investments and makes 
purchase and sale decisions in accordance with the IOOF 
Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy. 
Upon initial recognition attributable transaction costs are 
recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial assets at 
fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and 
changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.

Units in unlisted trusts are carried at the current unit price for 
redemption of those units with the trust.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active 
markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting 
date. The quoted market price used for financial assets is 
the closing price.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative assets 
comprising principally marketable equity securities that are 
either designated in this category or are not classified in any of 
the other categories of financial instruments. Available-for-sale 
financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any 
directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair 
value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, are 
recognised in other comprehensive income and presented 
within equity in the available-for-sale investment revaluation 
reserve. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative 
gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on 
an active market. They arise when the IOOF Group provides 
money, assets, or services directly to a debtor with no intention 
of selling the receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method and closely approximate their 
estimated fair value due to their short-term nature.

77

IOOF annual report 2018Non-derivative financial liabilities

Payables

The IOOF Group initially recognises financial liabilities on 
the date at which the IOOF Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. The IOOF Group 
derecognises a financial liability when its contractual 
obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

The IOOF Group has the following non-derivative 
financial liabilities:

•  payables;

•  borrowings (including finance leases); and

•  other financial liabilities (including contingent 

consideration).

Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus 
any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method.

1-2  Financial Instruments

Fair value hierarchy

The carrying value of payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Borrowings and finance leases

Borrowings and finance leases are further explained in section 
3-2 Borrowings.

Contingent consideration

The contingent consideration amounts payable can rise and 
fall depending on performance hurdles achieved during 
the deferral period specific to each agreement which may 
include revenue targets, gross margin targets and/or FUMAS 
retention requirements.

Where contingent consideration is due for payment after 
12 months, the estimated amounts payable are discounted. 
Assumptions used include pre-tax discount rates in the range 
of 3-4% which were based on market interest rates upon 
acquisition of related intangibles.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are equal to the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position with the 
exception of finance lease liabilities which are disclosed in note 3-2 Borrowings.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018The definitions of each level and the valuation techniques used are as follows:

•  Level 1: quoted closing prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

•  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie. as 
prices) or indirectly (ie. derived from prices). Level 2 fair values for the over-the-counter foreign exchange and index swap are 
provided by the counterparty and verified by the IOOF Group. Fair values are derived from published market indices and include 
adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the IOOF Group entity and counterparty.

•  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 

The IOOF Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting year during 
which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year 
ended 30 June 2018.

IOOF annual report 2018Section 2 - Results for the year

This section focuses on the results and performance of the IOOF Group. On the following pages you will find disclosures explaining 
the IOOF Group’s results for the year, segmental information, taxation and earnings per share.

Where an accounting policy is specific to a single note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates.

2-1  Operating segments

Corporate and other

Corporate and other costs include those of a strategic, 
shareholder or governance nature incurred in carrying on 
business as a listed entity managing multiple business units. 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment 
is included below. Performance is measured based on 
segment underlying profit before income tax as management 
believes that such information is the most relevant in 
evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other 
entities that operate within these industries.

The IOOF Group has the following five strategic divisions, 
which are its reportable segments. All segments’ operating 
results are regularly reviewed by the IOOF Group’s Managing 
Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated 
to the segment and assess its performance, and for which 
discrete financial information is available.

Financial advice

The provision of financial planning advice and stockbroking 
services supported by services such as investment research, 
training, compliance support and access to financial products.

Platform management and administration

The provision of administration and management services 
through master trust platforms, which offer a single access 
point to a range of investment products.

Investment management

The management and investment of monies on behalf of 
corporate, superannuation, institutional clients and private 
individual investor clients.

Trustee services

The provision of estate planning, trustee, custodial, agency and 
estate administration services to clients.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

(i) Management and service fees revenue

The IOOF Group provide management services to unit trusts and funds operated by the IOOF Group at normal commercial rates. 
Management and service fees earned from the unit trusts and funds are calculated based on an agreed percentage of the respective 
funds under management or administration as disclosed in the respective product disclosure statements, and are recognised on an 
accruals basis.

Management and service fees revenue from the provision of financial advisory services together with revenue from the rendering of 
services are recognised at the time the service is provided.

(ii) Stockbroking revenue and external other fee revenue

Other fee revenue and stockbroking revenue from the rendering of services are recognised at the time the service is provided.

(iii) Finance income

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains 
on the divestment of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or 
loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in 
profit or loss on the date that the IOOF Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the 
ex-dividend date.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Accounting policies

Annual and long service leave benefits

Expenses are recognised at the fair value of the consideration 
paid or payable for services received, further specific expense 
policies are listed below.

(i) Service Fees and other direct costs

Service fees and other direct costs include amounts paid to 
advisers, dealer groups and other suppliers in the course of 
operating and marketing products and services of the IOOF 
Group. Examples of direct costs include custodian fees, audit 
services and the printing and mailing of client statements and 
other communications. The values are recognised at the fair 
value of the consideration paid or payable for the goods or 
services received.

(ii) Salaries and related employee expenses

These entitlements include salaries, wages, superannuation, 
bonuses, overtime, allowances, annual and long service 
leave, but exclude share-based payments. The accounting 
policies for the four major expense categories under this 
definition are as follows

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured 
on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related 
service is provided. 

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if 
the IOOF Group has a present legal or constructive obligation 
to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the 
employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Short-term incentive plans

A provision for employee benefits in the form of an incentive 
plan is recognised when there is no realistic alternative 
but to settle the liability, and at least one of the following 
conditions is met: 

• 

• 

there are formal terms in the plan for determining the 
amount of the benefit;

the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of 
completion of the financial report; or 

•  past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of 

the obligation.

The IOOF Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term 
employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that 
employees have earned in return for their service in the current 
and prior years plus related on-costs.

Liabilities for long-term benefits that are expected to be 
settled beyond 12 months are discounted using rates attaching 
to high quality corporate bonds which most closely match the 
terms of maturity of the related liabilities at balance date.

In determining the liability for employee entitlements, 
consideration is given to future increases in wage and 
salary rates, experience with employee departures and 
years of service.

Employee defined contribution plan expense

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan 
under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate 
entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay 
further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined 
contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss in the years 
during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid 
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a 
cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(iii) Share-based payments expense

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards 
granted to employees is recognised as a share-based payment 
expense, with a corresponding increase in the share-
based payments reserve, over the year that the employees 
unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount 
recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of 
awards for which the related service and non-market vesting 
conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount 
ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number 
of awards that meet the related service and non-market 
performance conditions at vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, 
the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is 
measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for 
differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined where 
considered appropriate.

85

IOOF annual report 2018(vi) Deferred acquisition costs

Deferred acquisition costs relate to service fees paid, and are 
deferred as an asset in recognition that they relate to a future 
economic benefit. Deferred acquisition costs are initially 
measured at historical cost and are written down immediately 
to their recoverable amount if the carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Deferred acquisition costs are progressively amortised in 
profit or loss by a systematic allocation over the years the 
future economic benefits are expected to be received. 
The amortisation period is between 5 and 7 years.

Shares held by the IOOF Equity Plan Trust will contribute to 
the employee allocation of shares on satisfaction of vesting 
performance hurdles. The IOOF Group has no right to recall 
placed shares. However, a subsidiary company acts as the 
Trustee of the Trust, and can direct the voting rights of shares 
held and strategic direction.

Non-Executive Directors have the opportunity to participate 
in the IOOF Deferred Share Purchase Plan. The plan provides 
a facility for Non-Executive Directors to sacrifice base salary or 
future incentive entitlements in order to acquire shares. As the 
purchase is funded by Directors’ salary sacrifice, no additional 
expense is recorded by the IOOF Group.

(iv) Termination payments

Termination benefits or redundancy costs are recognised as an 
expense when the IOOF Group is committed demonstrably, 
without realistic opportunity of withdrawal, to a formal 
detailed plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing 
termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage 
voluntary redundancy.

(v) Amortisation and impairment

The value of intangible assets, with the exception of goodwill 
and brand names with indefinite useful lives, reduces over 
the number of years the IOOF Group expects to use the asset, 
the useful economic life, via an annual amortisation charge 
to profit and loss. The values and useful lives ascribed are 
reflective of arms-length transactions and independent expert 
advice thereon.

Where there has been a technological change or decline 
in business performance the Directors review the value of 
assets to ensure they have not fallen below their carrying 
value. Should an asset’s value fall below its carrying value an 
additional one-off impairment charge is made against profit.

For statutory reporting purposes, the Group had an effective tax rate of 32.9% on its continuing operations for the year ended 
30 June 2018 (2017: 33.2%) compared to a statutory corporate tax rate of 30%. This rate difference is primarily due to impairment of 
goodwill, research and development (R&D) tax offsets, tax offsets for fully franked dividend income, prior period amendments and 
non-deductible subsidiary acquisition costs. For the year ended 30 June 2017, the rate difference was primarily due to impairment of 
goodwill, research and development (R&D) tax offsets, tax offsets for fully franked dividend income and prior period amendments. 
Excluding these items the IOOF Group’s effective tax rate would be 30% across both periods. The effective tax rate for New Zealand 
and Hong Kong operations was 28.7% and 11.8% respectively for the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: 29.7% and 18.0% respectively).

The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been 
recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the IOOF 
Group can utilise the benefits there from.

Accounting policies

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Current 
and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except 
to the extent that it relates to a business combination, 
or items recognised directly in equity or in other 
comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on 
the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted 
or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any 

adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current 
tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain 
criteria are met.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for 
taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

89

IOOF annual report 2018• 

• 

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or 
liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination 
and that affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profit or loss; 

temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries 
and associates to the extent that the IOOF Group is able 
to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future; and

• 

taxable temporary differences arising on the initial 
recognition of goodwill. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to 
be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based 
on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted 
by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is 
a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and when deferred tax balances relate to the same 
taxation authority. 

Tax consolidation

IOOF Holdings Ltd and its wholly owned Australian resident 
entities (including IOOF Ltd benefit funds) are part of a 
tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. As a 
consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are 
taxed as a single entity.

Tax transparency

The IOOF Group is committed to tax transparency 
and integrity. It has been a signatory to the Board of 
Taxation’s Voluntary Tax Transparency Code (the Code), 
since January 2017.

Tax contribution analysis

The Code is a set of principles and ‘minimum standards’ to 
guide disclosure of tax information by businesses, encourage 
those businesses to avoid aggressive tax planning, and 
to help educate the public about their compliance with 
Australia’s tax laws. 

The IOOF Group provides a reconciliation of accounting profit 
to tax expense, and to income tax paid/payable including 
identification of material temporary and non-temporary 
differences and accounting effective company tax rates for the 
IOOF Groups Australian and global operations.

Information about international related party 
dealings 

The IOOF Group conducts foreign activities in New Zealand, 
via IOOF New Zealand, and in Hong Kong, via share broking 
business, Ord Minnett. Each of those entities is subject to the 
local tax regime and effective tax rates are disclosed with 
the IOOF Group’s effective tax rate. Related party dealings 
between the IOOF Group’s Australian and foreign jurisdictions 
are supported by transfer pricing documentation. 

Approach to tax strategy and governance 

Tax governance is part of the IOOF Group’s overall risk 
management framework, as well as being part of an overall 
tax strategy. The overall tax strategy drives the IOOF Group’s 
approach to tax risk management and is aimed at good 
corporate tax compliance and reporting, ability to meet and be 
prepared for regulatory changes, and in ensuring shareholder 
value. Tax governance is continuously monitored and in line 
with the IOOF Group’s strategy. The IOOF Group regards 
its relationship with the ATO as effective and open thereby 
maintaining transparency and collaboration. 

The IOOF Group contributed a total of $143.6m in taxes to Australian, New Zealand and Hong Kong governments (state and federal) in 
the 2018 tax year. $143m or 99.6% of this amount was attributable to the Australian Government. The below tables provide an analysis 
of the types of taxes the IOOF Group is liable for and those payable in Australia versus those in foreign jurisdictions.

2018 tax contribution by type (total $143.6m)

2018 tax contribution by country (total $143.6m)

 Income Tax $74.91m
 GST $51.9m
  Payroll Tax $13.1m
  Fringe Benefits Tax $1.19m
 Other $2.5m

 Australia $143m
 New Zealand $0.60m
  Hong Kong $0.0064m

Further taxes paid by the IOOF Group on behalf of others, including employees and members, are not directly borne by the Group. 
These include income tax, GST, pay-as-you-earn withholding taxes, and local duties, which total a further $123m.

(b) franking credits that the IOOF Group may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact 
on the dividend franking account of dividends declared after the balance date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by

The IOOF Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by 
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held.

Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary 
shares, which comprise performance rights and share options granted to employees.

At 30 June 2018, there were no options outstanding.

The average market value of the Company’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on 
quoted market prices for the year.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Section 3 - Capital management and financing

This section outlines how the IOOF Group manages its capital structure and related financing costs, including its balance sheet 
liquidity and access to capital markets.

The IOOF Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can 
continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal structure to reduce the 
cost of capital.

3-1  Capital management

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the 
IOOF Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, buy back its 
shares on market, issue new shares, sell assets, or otherwise 
adjust debt levels.

The IOOF Group monitors capital on the basis of investment 
capital, working capital and regulatory capital.

Investment capital is the IOOF Group’s capital that is not 
required for regulatory and working capital requirements of 
the business. The investment capital is invested in:

•  bank deposits and certificates of deposit;

•  subsidiaries;

•  available-for-sale assets;

•  unit trusts, as investments; and

• 

IOOF Group operated unit trusts, as seed capital.

The investment capital is available to support the organic 
development of new businesses and products and to respond 
to investment and growth opportunities such as acquisitions, 
as they arise. Seed capital is primarily available to support 
the business in establishing new products and is also used to 
support capital adequacy requirements of the benefit funds.

Working capital is the capital that is required to meet the day 
to day operations of the business.

Regulatory capital is the capital which the IOOF Group is 
required to hold as determined by legislative and regulatory 
requirements in respect of its friendly society and financial 
services licensed operations. During the year, the IOOF Group 
has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements 
to which it is subject.

The Board of each operational subsidiary manages its own 
capital required to support planned business growth and meet 
regulatory requirements. Australian Prudential Regulation 
Authority (APRA) regulated subsidiaries have their own capital 
management plan which specifically addresses the regulatory 
requirements of that entity and sets a target surplus over 
minimum regulatory requirements. Regular monitoring of 
regulatory requirements ensures sufficient capital is available 
and appropriate planning is made to retain target surpluses. 
IOOF Holdings Ltd is primarily the provider of equity capital to 
its subsidiaries. Such investment is funded by IOOF Holding 
Ltd’s own investment capital, through capital issues, profit 
retention and, in some instances, by debt.

Subsidiary capital generated in excess of planned requirements 
is returned to IOOF Holdings Ltd, usually by way of dividends.

A standby facility is in place as a safeguard against a temporary 
need for funds and to provide a short term funding facility 
that allows the business to take advantage of acquisition 
opportunities as they arise.

The weighted average cost of capital is regularly monitored. 
Funding decisions take into consideration the cost of debt 
versus the cost of equity with emphasis on the outcome that is 
best for shareholder interests.

The IOOF Group’s capital risk management strategy was not 
changed during the year.

Further information in relation to capital adequacy requirements 
imposed by the Life Insurance Act is provided in section 5-7 
Capital adequacy position.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in 
profit or loss using the effective interest method. 

(b) Other bank facilities

In addition to the cash advance and working capital facilities, the IOOF Group has a number of facilities including equipment finance 
and contingent liability facilities. The aggregate of these facilities is $40m (2017: $40m) of which $38.9m was used at 30 June 2018 
(2017: $34.3m). The IOOF Group had other facilities of $8m at 30 June 2017 where $5.05m was used.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares and share options are shown 
in equity as a deduction, net of any tax effects. 

Treasury shares 

Shares in the Company which are purchased on-market by the IOOF Equity Plan Trust are classified as treasury shares and are 
deducted from share capital. Treasury shares are excluded from the weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the earnings 
per share calculations. The IOOF Equity Plan Trust is controlled by the IOOF Group and is therefore consolidated. Dividends received 
on treasury shares are eliminated on consolidation.

3-4  Capital commitments and contingencies

The only capital commitments entered into by the IOOF Group are operating lease commitments disclosed below.

Operating lease commitments 

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease 
incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Commitments for minimum lease payments in relation to non-cancellable operating leases are payable as follows:

On 26 July 2018, the IOOF Group entered into a non-binding term sheet with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) 
in respect of implementing an accelerated economic completion of the acquisition of ANZ’s One Path Pensions and Investments 
(ANZ P&I) business and full legal ownership of ANZ’s Aligned Dealer Groups (ADGs).

Pursuant to the planned acquisition of ANZ Wealth Management, the purchase price will be funded through a combination of the 
fully underwritten institutional placement conducted during the year and debt facilities of $675m. The IOOF Group has committed 
to take up the following facilities prior to acquisition completion and intends to leverage domestic and international Debt Capital 
Markets in its longer term finance strategy beyond these repayment terms:

96

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018•  $240m with a 5 year repayment term from date of draw down with commercial margins against 90 day BBSY;

•  $375m with a 3 year repayment term from date of drawdown with commercial margins against 90 day BBSY; and

•  $60m revolving facility to cover regulatory and property guarantees and capital commitments. 

A committment fee is to be paid under conventional terms until draw down is required.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities of the IOOF Group exist in relation to claims and/or possible claims which, at the date of signing these accounts, 
have not been resolved. An assessment of the likely loss to the Company and its controlled entities has been made in respect of 
the identified claims, on a claim by claim basis, and specific provision has been made where appropriate. The IOOF Group does 
not consider that the outcome of any other current proceedings, either individually or in aggregate, is likely to materially affect its 
operations or financial position.

Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in Section 3. 

4-1  Associates

Associates are those entities over which the IOOF Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and 
operating policies.

The IOOF Group has interests in a number of associates. For one of these associates, Perennial Value Management Limited, the IOOF 
Group owns 52.4% (2017: 52.4%) of the equity interests but has 42.4% of the voting rights and dividend entitlements. The IOOF Group 
has determined that it does not have control but has significant influence because it has representation on the board of the investee.

Accounting policies

Intangible assets are non-physical assets used by the IOOF Group to generate revenues and profits. These assets include brand names, 
software, customer and adviser relationships and contractual arrangements. The cost of these assets is the amount that the IOOF 
Group has paid or, where there has been a business combination, the fair value of the specific intangible assets that could be sold 
separately or which arise from legal rights.

The value of intangible assets, with the exception of goodwill and brand names with indefinite useful lives, reduces over the number 
of years the IOOF Group expects to use the asset, the useful economic life, via an annual amortisation charge to profit and loss. 
The values and useful lives ascribed are reflective of arms-length transactions and independent expert advice thereon. Where there 
has been a technological change or decline in business performance the Directors review the value of assets to ensure they have not 
fallen below their carrying value. Should an asset’s value fall below its carrying value an additional one-off impairment charge is made 
against profit.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which 
it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Amortisation

Amortisation is charged to the income statement over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are judged to be 
indefinite. Indefinite life assets are not amortised but are tested for impairment at each reporting date. The estimated useful lives for 
the current and comparative years are as follows: 

•  brand names 20 years

•  computer software 2.5 - 10 years

•  customer relationships 10 - 20 years

• 

IT development 3 - 5 years

•  other 5 - 10 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

99

IOOF annual report 2018Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing indefinite life intangible assets

For the purposes of impairment testing, indefinite life intangibles are allocated to the IOOF Group’s operating divisions, or CGUs, which 
represent the lowest level within the IOOF Group at which intangible assets are monitored for internal management purposes.

Each CGU is not higher than the IOOF Group’s operating segments as reported in Note 2-1 Operating segments.

Indefinite life intangible assets

The indefinite life intangible assets relate to brand names. The below table excludes $8.7m of intangibles which have a finite life.  
The aggregate carrying amounts of indefinite-life intangible assets allocated to each CGU are as follows:

In designating brand names as indefinite life, consideration was given to the length of time the brand names have been in existence 
and it was determined that there is no foreseeable limit to the years over which the brand names are expected to generate net cash 
inflows for the IOOF Group. 

The recoverable amount for the brand names have been determined based on a royalty savings method of calculating value in use. 
The calculation incorporates estimated costs of brand maintenance. The discount rate of 12.7% (2017: 12.5%) used reflects the IOOF 
Group’s pre-tax nominal weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Management’s assessment of indefinite life intangible value-in-use 
exceeds the value of the intangible asset allocated to the CGU, therefore any reasonably possible changes to assumptions used in 
management’s assessment is not expected to result in impairment.

A non-cash impairment of $28.3m has been recognised in relation to goodwill allocated to Perennial Investment Partners Limited 
(2017: $38.6m). Reduced profitability from lower revenue led to calculated value-in-use declining to below the carrying value of the 
aggregate goodwill and investment balances. Revenue decline has arisen due to institutional outflows. These outflows reflect below 
benchmark performance in certain core products and changing market dynamics, where larger institutions now weight a greater 
proportion of funds to indexed products.

100

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Accounting policies

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that arise from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and 
separately recognised. Its cost is the amount the IOOF Group has paid in acquiring a business over and above the fair value of the 
individual assets and liabilities acquired. The value of goodwill is an ‘intangible’ value that comes from, for example, a uniquely strong 
market position and the outstanding productivity of its employees. The goodwill recognised by the IOOF Group has all arisen as a 
result of business combinations.

For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see section 7-3(b)(i) Business combinations.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of 
goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the 
equity accounted investee as a whole. 

Impairment testing for cash-generating units containing goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the IOOF Group’s cash-generating units (CGUs). These represent the 
lowest level within the IOOF Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Assets that cannot be 
tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are 
largely independent of the cash inflows from continuing use of other assets or groups of assets (the CGU). 

These CGUs are not higher than the IOOF Group’s operating segments as reported in 2-1 Operating segments. 

The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each CGU are as follows:

101

IOOF annual report 2018The recoverable amounts for goodwill allocated to all CGUs have been determined based on value-in-use calculations using 2018 
actual balances to forecast 2019 and beyond cash flows. The manner in which the IOOF Group conducts each impairment assessment 
for years 2 to 5 and into perpetuity is discussed below for each relevant CGU.

The growth rates applied do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for businesses in which each CGU operates. The pre- 
tax discount rate of 12.7% (2017: 12.5%) used reflects the IOOF Group’s pre-tax nominal weighted average cost of capital (WACC). 
Management’s assessment of goodwill’s value-in-use exceeds the value of goodwill allocated to these CGUs, except for the Perennial 
CGU where a $28.3m non-cash impairment has been recognised in 2018. Any reasonably possible changes to assumptions used in 
management’s assessment is not expected to result in impairment.

Management has applied post tax WACC increments of 2.5% for Perennial and 3.5% for Consultum to reflect specific company risk 
premiums. These incremental amounts are judgement based and are consistent with accepted valuation industry practice.

Accounting policies

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the IOOF Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be 
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions 
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the 
time value of money

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the IOOF Group from a contract are 
lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is valued as the estimated present value 
of future lease payments net of anticipated recoveries from third parties, that the IOOF Group is presently obligated to make under 
non-cancellable operating lease contracts. The estimate may vary as a result of changes in the utilisation of the leased premises 
and sub-lease arrangements where applicable. Provisions relate to onerous lease contracts. The unexpired term of these leases is 
less than 1 year.

102

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Employee entitlements

The provision for employee benefits includes provisions for remuneration in the form of incentive plans and expected leave benefits 
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior years plus related on-costs.

A provision for employee benefits in the form of an incentive plan is recognised when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the 
liability, and at least one of the following conditions is met:

• 

• 

there are formal terms in the plan for determining the amount of the benefit;

the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of completion of the financial report; or

•  past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of the obligation. 

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the IOOF Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the 
restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for.

Liabilities for incentives are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
they are settled.

Other provisions

Other provisions have been made for the present value of the Directors’ best estimates of legal settlements. The information usually 
required by AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, is not disclosed on the grounds that it can be expected 
to prejudice the outcome of certain other litigation.

Assets held in the Statutory Funds (including the Benefit Funds) are subject to the distribution and transfer restrictions and other 
requirements of the Life Insurance Act 1995. Monies held in the benefit funds and controlled trusts are held for the benefit of the 
members of those funds, and are subject to the constitution and rules of those funds.

Accordingly, with the exception of permitted profit distributions, the investments held in the statutory funds are not available for use 
by other parties of the IOOF Group.

The IOOF Group has determined that all financial assets held within its reported statutory funds (including the benefit funds which 
are treated as statutory funds) represent the assets backing policy liabilities and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 
Other than loans and receivables held by the IOOF Group and its controlled entities, assets backing policy liabilities have been 
designated at fair value through profit or loss as the assets are managed on a fair value basis.

are valued in accordance with AASB 1038, whereas life investment contracts are valued in accordance with AASB 139 and AASB 118. 
There are differences between the valuation requirements of the accounting standards and those of the Life Insurance Act 1995.

104

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Accounting policies

Contract classification

The accounting treatment of certain transactions varies depending on the nature of the contract underlying the transaction.  
The major contract classifications are insurance contracts and investment contracts.

(i) Insurance contracts

Insurance contracts with DPF are those containing significant insurance risk at the inception of the contract, or those where at 
the inception of the contract there is a scenario with commercial substance where the level of insurance risk may be significant. 
The significance of insurance risk is dependent on both the probability of an insured event and the magnitude of its potential effect. 
Life insurance contract liabilities are calculated in accordance with actuarial standards.

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if 
the insurance risk reduces significantly during the year.

(ii) Investment contracts

Contracts not considered insurance contracts are classified as investment contracts. The accounting treatment of investment 
contracts depends on whether the investment has a discretionary participation feature (‘DPF’). A DPF represents a contractual right to 
receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, additional benefits that are:

• 

likely to be a significant portion of the total benefits;

•  distributed at the discretion of the insurer; and 

•  are based on the performance of a specified pool of assets.

Deposits collected and benefits paid under investment contracts with DPF are accounted for through profit or loss. The gross 
change in the liability to these policyholders for the year, which includes any participating benefits vested in policyholders and any 
undistributed surplus attributed to policyholders, is also recognised in profit or loss.

Deposits collected and withdrawals processed for investment contracts without DPF are accounted for directly through the statement 
of financial position as a movement in the investment contract liability. Distributions on these contracts are charged to profit or 
loss as an expense.

Where contracts contain both an investment component and an insurance component and the deposit component can be 
separately measured, the underlying amounts are unbundled. Premiums relating to the insurance component are accounted for 
through profit or loss and the investment component is accounted for as a deposit through the statement of financial position as 
described above.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018Accounting policies

Processes used to select assumptions

Investment contracts with DPF

Mortality and Morbidity

The value of these liabilities changes in relation to the change 
in unit prices for unit linked contracts, and are decreased by 
management fee charges. In accordance with the rules of the 
funds, any remaining surplus is attributed to the policyholders. 
Adjustments to the liabilities at each reporting date are 
recorded in profit or loss.

Other investment contracts 

The value of these liabilities changes in relation to the change 
in unit prices for unit linked contracts, and are decreased by 
management fee charges. In accordance with the rules of the 
funds, any remaining surplus is attributed to the members of 
the fund. Amounts distributable to members are recorded in 
profit or loss as an expense. 

There is no claims expense in respect of life investment 
contracts. Surrenders and withdrawals which relate to life 
investment contracts are treated as a movement in life 
investment contract liabilities. Surrenders are recognised when 
the policyholder formally notifies of their intention to end the 
policy previously contracted.

Insurance contract liabilities and claims expense

A claim expense is recognised when the liability to 
the policyholder under the policy contract has been 
established, or upon notification of the insured event. 
Withdrawal components of life insurance contracts are not 
expenses and are treated as movements in life insurance 
contract liabilities. 

5-5  Actuarial assumptions and methods

The effective date of the actuarial report on the policy liabilities 
and capital adequacy reserves is 30 June 2018. The actuarial 
report for IOOF Ltd was prepared by Mr Andrew Mead, FIAA, 
and was dated 15 August 2018. The actuarial report indicates 
that Mr Mead is satisfied as to the accuracy of the data upon 
which the policy liabilities have been determined.

Actuarial Methods

Policy liabilities have been calculated in accordance with 
relevant actuarial guidance issued by the Australian Prudential 
Regulation Authority under the Life Insurance Act 1995. 
Policy liabilities are based on a systematic release of planned 
margins as services are provided to policyholders and 
premiums are received.

All mortality and morbidity risk is fully reinsured and the gross 
risk to the IOOF Group is low. The mortality and morbidity 
assumptions have been taken to be equal to the reinsurer’s 
mortality and morbidity assumptions. 

Other Assumptions

In adopting the accumulation method to assess the policy 
liabilities, one material assumption is required. It is assumed 
that the future overall experience as to expense levels, 
surrender/lapse rates and discount rates will likely remain 
within a satisfactory range so that the policies produce future 
profits for the business. In which case, there is no need to set 
aside provisions, in addition to the accumulation amounts, for 
future losses (i.e. there is no loss recognition concerns for the 
business). This assumption has been adopted on the basis that, 
based on the current actual experience of the business, the 
policies are producing satisfactory profits for the business and 
there is no circumstances known that would indicate that the 
current position (i.e. general experience levels and ongoing 
profitability) will not continue into the future.

Sensitivity analysis

The policy liabilities are not sensitive to changes in variables 
within a moderate range. Increases in mortality and morbidity 
assumptions will result in an increase in gross policy liabilities 
for the IOOF Group, however as the mortality and morbidity 
risk is fully reinsured any change in these assumptions would 
be consistent with the reinsurer’s assumptions and the net 
change in policy liabilities would be nil.

5-6   Disclosures on asset restrictions, managed 

assets and trustee activities

(i) Restrictions on assets

Investments held in life statutory funds can only be used in 
accordance with the relevant regulatory restrictions imposed 
under the Life Act and associated rules and regulations. 
The main restrictions are that the assets in a life statutory 
fund can only be used to meet the liabilities and expenses of 
that life statutory fund, to acquire investments to further the 
business of the life statutory fund or as distributions when 
capital adequacy and other regulatory requirements are met.

107

IOOF annual report 2018(ii) Managed Funds and other fiduciary duties

Entities in the IOOF Group, including the IOOF Ltd Benefit 
Funds, hold controlling investments in managed funds. 
A subsidiary of the Company is the Responsible Entity for these 

managed funds and has a fiduciary responsibility for managing 
these trusts. Arrangements are in place to ensure that such 
activities are managed separately from the other activities of 
the IOOF Group.

5-7  Capital adequacy position

Capital adequacy reserves are required to meet the prudential standards determined in accordance with Prudential Standard LPS 110 
Capital Adequacy issued by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority under paragraph 230A(1)(a) of the Life Insurance Act 1995. 
Capital adequacy reserves provide additional protection to policy holders against the impact of fluctuations and unexpected adverse 
circumstances on the Company. 

The figures in the table below represent the number of times coverage of the aggregate of all benefit funds and statutory funds in the 
Life Group over the prescribed capital amount.

6-2  Share-based payments

The IOOF Group operates a number of employee share and option schemes operated by the IOOF Equity Plan Trust (the “Trust”).  
The employee share option plans were approved by the Board of Directors.

IOOF Executive and Employee Share Option Plan

The IOOF Group has an ownership-based compensation scheme for executives and senior employees. 

Selected employees may be granted options which entitle them to purchase ordinary fully paid shares in the Company at a price fixed 
at the time the options are granted. Voting and dividend rights will be attached to the unissued ordinary shares when the options 
have been exercised. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry.

The Remuneration Committee regards the grant of options to employees as an appropriate long-term incentive and retention 
component of total remuneration for executives and senior employees. It is expected that future annual grants of options will 
be made, the vesting of which will be subject to attainment of appropriate performance hurdles and on the basis of continuing 
employment with the IOOF Group.  

Options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. All plans are equity-settled. There were no options granted in 2018.

109

IOOF annual report 2018IOOF Executive Performance Rights Plan

The IOOF Executive Performance Rights Plan is the vehicle used to deliver equity based incentives to executives and senior employees 
of the IOOF Group.  

Each employee receives ordinary shares of the Company on vesting of the performance rights. No amounts are paid or payable by the 
recipient on receipt of the performance rights or on vesting. The performance rights carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights 
prior to vesting.

The Remuneration Committee regards the grant of performance rights to employees as an appropriate long-term incentive 
and retention component of total remuneration for executives and senior employees. It is expected that future annual grants of 
performance rights will be made, subject to the Board’s determination of the overall performance of the Company and market 
conditions. The vesting of any performance rights awarded will be subject to attainment of appropriate performance hurdles and on 
the basis of continuing employment with the IOOF Group.  

Performance rights granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. All plans are equity-settled.

Deferred Share Plan

A Short Term Incentive (STI) mandatory deferral program exists with equity deferral relating to half of the Managing Director’s STI. 
This also applies to Executive STIs from 2018 onwards.

The following share-based payment arrangements were in existence during the current and comparative reporting years:

On vesting of performance rights, ordinary shares are transferred to the employee’s name or held in trust. The employee receives all 
dividends on the ordinary shares while held in trust.

There are no options outstanding at 30 June 2018. 

Inputs for measurement of grant date fair values granted during the financial year

The grant date fair value of share-based payment plans granted during the year were measured based on a binomial options pricing 
model for non-market performance conditions and a monte carlo simulation model for market performance conditions. Expected 
volatility is estimated by considering historic average share price volatility. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at 
grant date of the share-based payment plans are the following:

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as a share-based payment expense, with 
a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve, over the years that the employees unconditionally become entitled to 
the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-
market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number 
of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to 
reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined where considered appropriate. The option pricing model used takes into 
account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 
the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Shares held by the Trust will contribute to the employee allocation of shares on satisfaction of vesting performance hurdles. The IOOF 
Group has no right to recall placed shares. However, a subsidiary company acts as the Trustee of the Trust, and can direct the voting 
rights of shares held.

Shares in the Company held by the Trust are classified and disclosed as treasury shares, and deducted from share capital. Dividends 
received by the Trust are recorded as dividend income in the financial statements of the Trust and are eliminated on consolidation.

The IOOF Group has interests in various structured entities that are not consolidated. An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated structured 
entity is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement which exposes the IOOF Group to variability of returns from the 
performance of that entity. Such interests include holdings of equity securities, seed capital and fees from funds management 
activities. The seed capital is primarily available to support the business in establishing new products and is also used to support 
capital adequacy requirements of the benefit funds. 

The IOOF Group has investments in managed investment funds through its asset management subsidiaries. Control of these 
managed investment funds may exist since the IOOF Group has power over the activities of the fund. However, these funds have 
not been consolidated because the IOOF Group is not exposed to significant variability in returns from the funds. The IOOF Group 
earns management fees from the management of these investment funds which are commensurate with the services provided and 
are reported in external management and service fee revenue in note 2-2. Management fees are generally based on the value of 
the assets under management. Therefore, the fees earned are impacted by the composition of the assets under management and 
fluctuations in financial markets.

Investment funds are investment vehicles that consist of a pool of funds collected from several investors for the purpose of investing 
in securities such as money market instruments, debt securities, equity securities and other similar assets. For all investment funds, the 
IOOF Group’s maximum exposure to loss is equivalent to the carrying amount of the investment in the fund.

IOOF annual report 2018Section 7 - Basis of preparation

This section sets out the IOOF Group’s accounting policies that relate to the financial statements as a whole. Where an accounting 
policy is specific to a single note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates. This section also shows new accounting 
standards, amendments and interpretations, and whether they are effective in 2018 or later years. How these changes are expected 
to impact the financial position and performance of the IOOF Group is explained in this section.

7-1  Reporting entity

(c)  Functional and presentation currency

The Company is a public company listed on the Australian 
Stock Exchange (trading under the symbol ‘IFL’), domiciled 
in Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the 
Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2018 comprise 
the Company and its controlled entities and the IOOF Group’s 
interests in associates.

The IOOF Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in 
the provision of wealth management services.

The Company’s registered office and its principal place of 
business are Level 6, 161 Collins Street, Melbourne.

7-2  Basis of preparation

(a)  Statement of compliance

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 
(AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated 
financial statements comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The annual financial report was approved by the Board of 
Directors on 30 August 2018.

(b)  Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on 
the historical cost basis except for the following material items 
in the statement of financial position:

•  financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are 

measured at fair value; and 

•  available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value.

The statement of financial position is presented in 
order of liquidity.

116

These consolidated financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. 
All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand 
unless otherwise stated. 

(d)   Rounding of amounts

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and 
in accordance with that Instrument amounts in the financial 
report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, 
narrative disclosures are expressed in whole dollars or as 
otherwise indicated.

(e)  Use of estimates and judgements

To conform with AASBs management is required to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts 
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are 
recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised and 
in any future years affected.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting 
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts 
recognised in the financial statements is included in the 
following notes:

•  section 2-3 - (vi) Deferred acquisition costs;

•  section 4-2 - Intangible assets (other than goodwill);

•  section 4-3 - Goodwill; and

•  section 6-2 - Share-based payments.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties 
that have a significant risk of resulting in a material 
adjustment within the next financial year are included in the 
following notes: 

•  note 4-2 & 4-3 - key assumptions used in discounted cash 

flow projections; and

•  note 3-4 & 4-4 - contingencies and provisions.

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 20187-3  Other significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies have been included in the 
relevant notes to which the policies relate. Other significant 
accounting policies are listed below.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to 
conform with the current year’s presentation.

(a)  Changes in accounting policies

The IOOF Group has consistently applied the accounting 
policies to all years presented in these consolidated 
financial statements.

(b)  Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets 
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 
2018 and the results of all controlled subsidiaries for the year 
then ended. This includes the benefit funds of its subsidiary, 
IOOF Ltd, and any controlled trusts.

The benefit funds, and any trusts controlled by those funds, 
are treated as statutory funds in accordance with the Life 
Insurance Act 1995. These statutory funds, in addition to the 
statutory funds of the life insurance business conducted by the 
IOOF Group, are shown separately from shareholder funds in 
the notes to the financial statements.

Refer to Note 5-2 Liabilities relating to statutory funds for 
information in relation to the different accounting treatment of 
investment contracts with discretionary participating features.

(i) Business combinations

The IOOF Group accounts for business combinations 
using the acquisition method when control is transferred. 
The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally 
measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets 
acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for 
impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised 
in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed 
as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or 
equity securities.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair 
value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration 
is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is 
accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes 
to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised 
in profit or loss. 

When share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are 
required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s 
employees (acquiree’s awards) and relate to past services, then 
all or a portion of the amount of the acquiree’s replacement 
awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred 
in the business combination. This determination is based on 
the market-based value of the replacement awards compared 
with the market-based value of the acquiree’s awards and the 
extent to which the replacement awards relate to past and/or 
future service.

(ii) Non-controlling interests (NCI)

NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Changes in the 
IOOF Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss 
of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(iii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the IOOF Group. 
The IOOF Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or 
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the 
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 
power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries 
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the 
date on which control commences until the date on which 
control ceases.

(iv) Loss of control

When the IOOF Group loses control over a subsidiary, it 
derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and 
any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting 
gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained 
in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when 
control is lost.

(v) IOOF Equity Plan Trust (the “Trust”)

The IOOF Group has formed a trust to administer the IOOF 
Group’s employee share schemes. The Trust is consolidated, as 
the substance of the relationship is that the Trust is controlled 
by the IOOF Group. Shares held by the Trust are disclosed as 
treasury shares and are deducted from share capital.

117

IOOF annual report 2018The gain or loss on divestment of an item of property and 
equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from 
divestment with the carrying amount of the property and 
equipment and is recognised net within other income/other 
expenses in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, 
any related amount included in the revaluation reserve is 
transferred to retained earnings.

(ii) Subsequent costs

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 IOOF Group. Repairs and maintenance 
costs are charged to profit or loss as they are incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the estimated useful lives of each component 
of an item of property and equipment. Leased assets are 
depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful 
lives unless it is reasonably certain that the IOOF Group will 
obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Items of property and equipment are depreciated from the 
date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect 
of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is 
completed and ready for use.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative year 
are as follows:

•  office equipment 3-10 years

• 

leasehold improvements 3-10 years 

•  equipment under finance lease 3-10 years 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are 
reviewed at each reporting date, and adjusted if appropriate. 

(vi) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-IOOF Group balances and transactions, and any 
unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-IOOF Group 
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated 
financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions 
with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the 
investment to the extent of the IOOF Group’s interest in 
the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same 
way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is 
no evidence of impairment. Dividends paid to the Trust are 
also eliminated.

(c)  Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the 
foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to 
Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that 
date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are 
recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities 
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date 
of the transaction.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including 
goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, 
are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates 
ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenue and expenses of 
foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates 
approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates 
of the transactions. 

Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in equity 
in the foreign currency translation reserve.

(d)  Property and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Property and equipment are measured at cost less 
any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the asset.

118

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018(e) 

Impairment

(i) Non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss 
is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there 
is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is 
impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has 
occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the 
loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash 
flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. 

Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity 
securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by 
a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the IOOF Group 
on terms that the IOOF Group would not consider otherwise, 
indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, 
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or 
issuers in the IOOF Group, economic conditions that correlate 
with defaults or the disappearance of an active market of a 
security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a 
significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is 
considered objective evidence of impairment.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured 
at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its 
carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future 
cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest 
rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected as 
an allowance account against loans and receivables. Interest 
on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When a 
subsequent event (eg. a repayment by a debtor) causes the 
amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in 
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are 
recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the 
investment revaluation reserve, to profit or loss. The cumulative 
loss that is reclassified from equity to profit or loss is the 
difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal 
repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less 
any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss.

Changes in impairment provisions attributable to application 
of the effective interest method are reflected as a component 
of interest income. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of 
an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the 
increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after 
the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, then the 
impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal 
recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery 
in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security 
is recognised in other comprehensive income. 

Associates

An impairment loss in respect of an associate is measured by 
comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its 
carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or 
loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in 
the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the IOOF Group’s non-financial 
assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each 
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication 
of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s 
recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible 
assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet 
available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each 
year at the same time.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of 
an asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its 
estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit 
is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to 
sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows 
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount 
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value 
of money and the risks specific to the asset. Subject to an 
operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill 
impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been 
allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment 
is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is 
monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired 
in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that 
are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment 
losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to 
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the 
units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other 
assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. 

119

IOOF annual report 2018Minimum lease payments made under finance leases 
are apportioned between the finance expense and the 
reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense 
is allocated to each year during the lease term so as to 
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. Other leases are operating leases 
and are not recognised on the IOOF Group’s statement of 
financial position. 

7-4  New standards and interpretations not yet 
adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are 
effective for annual years beginning after 1 January 2016 and 
earlier application is permitted; however the IOOF Group has 
not early adopted the following new or amended standards in 
preparing these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for 
determining whether, how much and when revenue is 
recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, 
including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and 
IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual years beginning on or after  
1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The IOOF Group has completed an initial assessment of the 
potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on its consolidated 
financial statements and does not expect that there will be a 
significant impact. 

The IOOF Group currently recognises investment manager fees 
as a reduction to management and service fees revenue. Upon 
adoption of IFRS 15 these fees will be recognised in service and 
marketing fees expense. This change will not impact the IOOF 
Group’s profit.

The IOOF Group currently recognises insurance revenue 
when it is received. Upon adoption of IFRS 15 revenue will 
be recorded upfront at the commencement of the policy. As 
the advisers of the IOOF Group have an obligation to review 
the suitability of the product’s offered on an annual basis 
unless otherwise specified, this is not expected to have a 
material impact.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In 
respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior 
years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications 
that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment 
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates 
used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment 
loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying 
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no 
impairment loss had been recognised.

Goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an 
investment in an associate is not recognised separately, and 
therefore is not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the 
entire amount of the investment in an associate is tested for 
impairment as a single asset when there is objective evidence 
that the investment in an associate may be impaired.

(f)  Goods and service tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets (excluding receivables) are 
recorded net of GST. GST input tax credits are initially recorded 
as an asset and GST collected as a liability. These balances 
are offset as at the reporting date and recognised as either 
an amount receivable or payable to the Australian Taxation 
Office. The GST portion relating to financial supplies and non-
deductible expenditure, for which an input tax credit cannot 
be claimed, is expensed or is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of an asset.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of 
GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included 
with other receivables or payables in the statement of 
financial position. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a 
gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from 
investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, 
or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office are presented as 
operating cash flows.

(g)  Leases

Leases in terms of which the IOOF Group assumes substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance 
leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at 
an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present 
value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the 
accounting policy applicable to that asset.

120

IOOF annual report 2018Notes to the financial statementsFor the year ended 30 June 2018(i)  Management and service fees revenue

IFRS 16 Leases

The IOOF Group provide management services to unit trusts 
and funds operated by the IOOF Group at normal commercial 
rates. Management and service fees earned from the unit 
trusts and funds are calculated based on an agreed percentage 
of the respective funds under management or administration 
as disclosed in the respective product disclosure statements, 
and are recognised on an accruals basis.

The IOOF Group currently recognises management and service 
fees revenue at the time the service is provided. No significant 
changes are expected to this treatment under IFRS 15.

Stockbroking revenue and external other fee revenue are also 
recognised at the time the service is provided. No significant 
changes are expected to this treatment under IFRS 15.

The IOOF Group plans to adopt IFRS 15 in its consolidated 
financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2019.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 is effective for annual years beginning on or after 1 
January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The IOOF Group 
plans to adopt IFRS 9 in its consolidated financial statements 
for the year ending 30 June 2019.

At 30 June 2018, the IOOF Group had equity investments 
classified as available-for-sale with a fair value of $33.7m that 
are held for long-term strategic purposes. Upon application 
of IFRS 9 the IOOF Group will classify these as Fair Value 
Other Comprehensive Income with all fair value gains and 
losses reported in other comprehensive income in line with 
current treatment.

IFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model in IAS 39 with a 
forward looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model when 
determining provision for impairment of receivables. This will 
require considerable judgement as to how changes in 
economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a 
probability-weighted basis. Given the IOOF Group’s receivables 
are short term, loss allowances are not expected to change 
significantly when IFRS 9 is adopted.

The IOOF Group have assessed the impact of IFRS 9 on 
the consolidated financial statements. Given no financial 
instruments are held by the IOOF Group which could result 
in a reclassification, the adoption of IFRS 9 is not expected to 
have a significant impact on the recognition and measurement 
of the IOOF Group’s financial instruments. The derecognition 
rules have not been changed from the previous requirements, 
and the IOOF Group does not apply hedge accounting.

IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting 
model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right- of-use asset 
representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease 
liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. 
There are optional exemptions for short-term leases and leases 
of low value items.

IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance including IAS 17 
Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a 
Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating 
the Substance of Transactions involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The standard is effective for annual years beginning on or after 
1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities that 
apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or 
before the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

The IOOF Group has started an initial assessment of the 
potential impact of its consolidated financial statements. 
So far, the most significant impact identified is that the IOOF 
Group will recognise new assets and liabilities for its property 
operating leases $91.4m. The nature of expenses related to 
those leases will now change as IFRS 16 replaces the straight-
line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for 
right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. 
No significant impact is expected for the IOOF Group’s 
finance leases.

The IOOF Group will apply the standard using a retrospective 
approach and plans to adopt IFRS 16 in the consolidated 
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

IFRS 17 replaces AASB 4 Insurance Contracts and similarly 
applies to insurance contracts. The classification of insurance 
contracts is similar to AASB 4 Insurance Contracts however 
unbundling rule changes may mean some contract 
components now need to be measured under IFRS 17.

The new standard contains a lower level of aggregation/
smaller portfolios, changes to contract boundaries and 
valuation approaches, the application of Contractual Service 
Margins to policies valued under certain methodologies, 
changes in treatment to reinsurance and an ability to use Other 
Comprehensive Income for changes in asset values.

The IOOF Group is in the process of assessing the potential 
impact of its consolidated financial statements and plans to 
adopt IFRS 17 in the consolidated financial statements for the 
year ended 30 June 2021.

121

IOOF annual report 2018Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 7)

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of 
financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising 
from financing activities, including both changes arising from 
cash flow and non-cash changes.

The amendments are effective for annual years beginning on 
or after 1 January 2017, with early adoption permitted.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Group has 
presented a reconciliation between the 2017 opening and 
2018 closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from 
financing activities. This is shown in Note 3-2 Borrowings.

Other amendments

The following new or amended standards are not expected 
to have a significant impact on the IOOF Group’s consolidated 
financial statements.

•  Classification and Measurement of Share-based payment 

Transactions (amendments to IFRS 2);

•  Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor 

and its Associate or Joint Venture (amendments to IFRS 
10 and IAS 28);

•  Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses 

(amendments to IAS 12);

•  Clarification of the accounting for transactions that include 

the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a 
foreign currency (issuance of IFRIC 22);

•  Entity accounts for all income tax consequences of 

dividend payments according to where the entity originally 
recognised the past transactions or events that generated 
the distributable profits (amendment to AASB 112);

•  Treatment of any borrowings originally made to 

develop a qualifying asset as part of general borrowings 
when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale 
(amendment to AASB 123);

•  Accounting for income tax treatments that have yet to be 
accepted by tax authorities (issuance of IFRIC 23 and the 
consequential amendment to AASB 1); and

•  Transfer of assets in transaction with associate or JV 

(amendment to AASB 3).

7-5  Subsequent events

The Directors have declared the payment of a final dividend 
of 27.0 cents per ordinary share franked to 100% based on tax 
paid at 30%, to be paid on 4 September 2018.

On 7 August 2018, the IOOF Group announced, in accordance 
with its continuous disclosure obligations, that it’s wholly-
owned subsidiary, Australian Executor Trustees Limited 
(AET), agreed settlements in relation to certain of the legal 

122

proceedings to which AET is party in connection with its role 
as debenture trustee of Provident Capital Limited (Provident 
and the Provident Proceedings).

AET entered into a settlement deed with Mr Creighton and 
has now finalised and will shortly execute the terms of a 
settlement deed with Mr and Mrs Smith, the representative 
plaintiffs in the two proceedings brought against AET in 
relation to Provident. Those settlements, when finalised, are 
expected to result in full and final settlement, without any 
admission as to liability, of all claims (including as to legal 
costs) made against AET as part of the Provident Proceedings. 
These settlements remain subject to approval by the Supreme 
Court of New South Wales.

As a result, and subject to Court approval of the settlements 
with Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Creighton, the amount AET 
is expected to be obliged to pay to the plaintiffs and group 
members in the Provident Proceedings is $44.3m.

AET also agreed settlements with PwC and HLB Mann Judd 
in respect of the cross-claims brought by AET against those 
parties as part of the Provident Proceedings, which relate to 
their role as auditors of Provident.

Subject to Court approval, these settlements are expected to 
resolve all aspects of the Provident Proceedings other than 
AET’s and the IOOF Group’s cross-claims against their insurers 
and insurance broker.

The IOOF Group and AET will continue to vigorously pursue 
their claims against their insurers and insurance broker to 
judgment (if a satisfactory settlement cannot be achieved 
prior). In pursuing those claims, AET and the IOOF Group are 
seeking to recover from those parties up to the whole of 
the amount that they are obliged to pay the plaintiffs and 
group members in the Provident Proceedings (less amounts 
recovered through the settlements with PwC and HLB Mann 
Judd), together with their costs of those Proceedings.

The IOOF Group will continue to keep the market informed 
in relation to the outcome of the Provident Proceedings and 
any settlement discussions in accordance with its continuous 
disclosure obligations.

The settlements with the representative plaintiffs amount to 
$44.3m and have been provided for in the year ended 30 June 
2018 as an adjusting event given the Provident Proceedings 
were active throughout that financial year.

The Directors are not aware of any other event or circumstance 
since the end of the financial year not otherwise dealt with in 
this report or the consolidated financial report that has or may 
significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, 
the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the 
consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.
