D7/2017
To: All banks, controlling companies, branches of foreign institutions, eligible institutions and auditors of banks or controlling companies
Directive issued in terms of section 6(6) of the Banks Act 94 of 1990
Submission of regulatory and economic capital information by domestic systemically important banks and controlling companies (D-SIBs) on a bi-annual basis
Executive summary
In addition to the submission requirements of BA returns as specified in regulation 7 of the Regulations relating to Banks (Regulations), D-SIBs are hereby directed to complete the regulatory BA 701 return, attached hereto as Annexure A, for regulatory and economic capital information. This directive also specifies the timelines for the submission of the completed regulatory return to the Office of the Registrar of Banks (this Office).
1. Introduction
1.1 Since June 2013, this Office has requested all D-SIBs to complete and submit regulatory and economic capital information in manual templates on a bi-annual basis. During 2015 the data collection assessment template was standardised in order to automate and simplify the monitoring and analysis process of regulatory versus economic capital data. In the absence of a directive, the D-SIBs were requested by this Office, by means of formal letters, to submit their regulatory and economic capital information.
1.2 Since the initial request of the regulatory and economic capital data, the template has been further refined to ensure the accuracy and validity of the data being collected.
2. Directive
2.1 Scope of the assessment
2.1.1 D-SIBs are hereby directed to complete the regulatory return, attached hereto as Annexure A, at a bank solo level and a controlling company consolidated level.
2
2.1.2 In line with regulation 6(3) of the Regulations, the return should be submitted electronically by using the data sets ‘D4’ and ‘T7’. These data sets will include the statutory form BA 701 at a bank solo level and a controlling company consolidated level.
2.1.3 This data collection exercise does not replace or substitute any other specified disclosure or reporting requirements.
2.2 Submission timelines
2.2.1 Data must be submitted six-monthly based on a calendar year, that is in relation to 30 June and 31 December of each relevant year, by no later than the 60th working day immediately following the relevant required reporting date. For banks or controlling companies with a financial year ending on a date other than 30 June or 31 December, the forecasted data contained in the form may be the latest available data closest to the financial year-ends of the reporting entity, while the actual data will be the data as at 30 June or 31 December, as the case may be.
3. Acknowledgment of receipt
3.1 Kindly ensure that a copy of this directive is made available to your institution’s independent auditors. The attached acknowledgement of receipt duly completed and signed by both the chief executive officer of the institution and the said auditors should be returned to this Office at the earliest convenience of the aforementioned signatories.
