Notes:

1. Relates to the amount of each relevant regulatory adjustment that is subject to existing national treatment during the transitional phase. For example, during 2014 banks are required to make 20 per cent of the regulatory adjustments in accordance with the Basel III framework. A bank with “Goodwill, net of related tax liability” of R100 million conducts business in a jurisdiction that does not require this to be deducted from common equity. The bank shall report R20 million in the first of the two empty cells in item 8 and report R80 million in the second of the two cells. The sum of the two cells shall therefore be equal to the total Basel III regulatory adjustment.
2. When the bank described in note 1 above, for example, conducts business in a jurisdiction that requires goodwill to be deducted from Tier 1, the bank shall report in the item inserted between items 41 and 42 the amount of R80 million that the bank in note 1 reported in the last cell of item 8, to indicate that during the transition phase some goodwill will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 (in effect Additional Tier 1).
3. A bank with an unrealised loss of R50 million on its holdings of available-for-sale debt securities, for example, conducts business in a jurisdiction that filters out such unrealised gains and losses. The Basel III transitional arrangements require this bank to recognise 20 per cent of this loss, that is, R10 million, in 2014. This means that 80 per cent of the loss, or R40 million, is not recognised. The aforesaid bank that conducts business in this jurisdiction shall report R40 million in the item between items 26 and 27 as an addition to Common Equity Tier 1, to add back the relevant unrealised loss.
4. A bank with defined benefit pension fund net assets of R50 million, for example, conducts business in a jurisdiction that risk weights such assets at 200 per cent. The Basel III transitional arrangements require this bank to deduct 20 per cent of these assets in 2014, that is, the bank shall report R10 million in the first empty cell in item 15 and R40 million in the second empty cell (the total of the two cells shall be equal to the total Basel III regulatory adjustment). Furthermore, the bank shall disclose in the inserted items between item 59 and 60 that such assets are risk weighted at 200 per cent during the transitional phase, that is, the bank shall report an amount of R80 million (R40 million multiplied with 200 per cent) in that row.
5. Cells with dotted borders relate to items that are impacted by the transitional arrangements.
6. Relates only to specified ineligible capital instruments that are subject to a specified phased-out period up to 1 January 2022.

 

 

(B) this item (B), read with the relevant directives and requirements specified in item (C) below, a bank shall, as a minimum, in respect of all relevant required reporting periods from 1 January 2018 onwards, disclose to the public the information set out in the disclosure template specified below:

(D) this item (D), read with the relevant requirements specified in item (E) below, a bank shall provide a full reconciliation of all relevant regulatory capital elements back to the bank’s published financial statements, which reconciliation, as a minimum, shall be done by following the three-step approach specified below:
(i) firstly the bank shall disclose in a separate column the respective balances reported in the balance sheet contained in the bank’s published financial statements as at the end of the relevant disclosure period, provided that—
(aa) when the scope of regulatory consolidation and accounting consolidation is identical, the bank may simply state that there is no difference between the regulatory consolidation and the accounting consolidation and move to the next step, that is, move to step two;
(bb) as an integral part of the first step, in order to enable all relevant supervisors and market participants to better understand the potential risks posed by unconsolidated subsidiaries, the bank shall disclose a list of the legal entities that are included within the accounting scope of consolidation but excluded from the regulatory scope of consolidation, and vice versa, that is the legal entities that are included in the regulatory scope of consolidation but not included in the accounting scope of consolidation;
(cc) when some entities are included in both the regulatory scope of consolidation and accounting scope of consolidation, but the method of consolidation differs, the bank shall—
(i) list the legal entities separately and explain the respective differences in the consolidation methods;
(ii) in respect of each relevant legal entity also disclose its total balance sheet assets and total balance sheet equity, as stated on the accounting balance sheet of that relevant legal entity, and a description of the principle activities of that entity;
(ii) thereafter, that is, as the second step, the bank shall, in a separate column titled "balance sheet under regulatory scope of consolidation", disclose the required components specified in the relevant capital disclosure template, provided that—
(aa) when the template for regulatory scope of consolidation specifies or contains an item that is not contained in the bank’s published financial statements the bank shall add the relevant required line item under the “balance sheet under regulatory scope of consolidation”, and report a balance of zero in the column that reflects the balances in the bank’s published financial statements;
(bb) the bank is required to expand only those elements of the balance sheet that are necessary to disclose the relevant components that are used in the composition of capital disclosure template, that is, for example, when all of the paid-in capital of the bank complies with the specified requirements for CET1, the bank would not need to expand that line;
(cc) in order to facilitate the proper completion of step 3, the bank shall assign to each relevant item or element under the column that deals with "regulatory scope of consolidation" a unique reference number or letter; and
(iii) thereafter, that is, as the third step, the bank shall map each relevant component referred to in sub-item (ii) above to the composition of capital disclosure template specified in item (A) or item (B) above, as the case may be.

 

For example, the post 1 January 2018 disclosure template includes the line "goodwill net of related deferred tax liability". Next to the disclosure of this item in the template the bank would be required to capture "a - d" or "a minus d" to show that item 8 of the template has been calculated as the difference between component "a" of the balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation, illustrated in step 2, and component "d";

 

(E) this item (E), read with the relevant requirements specified in item (D) above, a bank shall provide a full reconciliation of all relevant regulatory capital elements back to the bank’s published financial statements:
