NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These are the financial statements for ANZ New Zealand for the year ended 30 September 2021. The Ultimate Parent Bank is incorporated in Australia

and is also registered in New Zealand (NZ Branch). The NZ Branch is domiciled in New Zealand, and the address of the NZ Branch’s registered office

and its principal place of business is Level 10, 171 Featherston Street, Wellington, New Zealand.

On 10 November 2021, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements.

Information in the financial statements is included only to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial

statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:

• the amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);

• the information is significant by nature (qualitative factor);

• the user cannot understand ANZ New Zealand’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);

• the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in ANZ New Zealand’s business during the period – for

example: business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);

• the information relates to an aspect of ANZ New Zealand’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); or

• the information is required under legislative requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 or by ANZ New Zealand’s principal

regulator, RBNZ.

This section of the financial statements:

• outlines the basis upon which ANZ New Zealand’s financial statements have been prepared; and

• discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements are general purpose (Tier 1) financial statements prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with the requirements of

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These financial statements comply with:

• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;

• New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as

appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities; and

• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

We present the financial statements of ANZ New Zealand in New Zealand dollars, which is ANZ New Zealand’s functional and presentation currency.

We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

We have prepared the financial information in accordance with the historical cost basis - except for the following assets and liabilities which we have

stated at their fair value:

• derivative financial instruments;

• financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income; and

• financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements of ANZ New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all of the New Zealand businesses

of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank. An entity, including a structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of ANZ New Zealand when we

determine that ANZ New Zealand has control over the entity. Control exists when ANZ New Zealand 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. We assess power by examining

existing rights that give ANZ New Zealand the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity. We have eliminated, on consolidation, the

effect of all transactions between entities in ANZ New Zealand.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the

reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate.

Any foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.

We measure translation differences on non-monetary items at fair value through profit or loss and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss on

these items. For non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, translation

differences are included in the investment securities revaluation reserve in equity.

FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES

ANZ New Zealand provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee and trustee services. This involves ANZ New Zealand holding

assets on behalf of third parties and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial instruments. If ANZ New Zealand is not the

beneficial owner or does not control the assets, then we do not recognise these transactions in these financial statements, except when required by

accounting standards or another legislative requirement.

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PERIOD

INTEREST RATE BENCHMARK REFORM

Interbank offered rates (IBORs), such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), have played a critical role in global financial markets, serving as

reference rates for derivatives, loans and securities, and in the valuation of financial instruments. Uncertainty surrounding the integrity of IBOR rates

has led regulators and industry to transition away from IBOR to alternative risk-free benchmark reference rates (RFRs).

As had been anticipated, in March 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced the dates on which IBORs will cease, after which

representative IBOR rates will no longer be available. The cessation of the majority of IBOR rates will occur on 31 December 2021, notably for the

Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR), Swiss Franc (CHF) and Japanese Yen (JPY) settings in their entirety, and the US Dollar (USD) 1-week and 2-month

LIBOR settings. ANZ New Zealand has ceased issuing new products referencing these rates. Other USD LIBOR settings will cease by 30 June 2023.

ANZ New Zealand has exposure to IBORs through its loan and derivative transactions with customers, issuance of debt and its asset and liability

management activities.

Other significant interest rate benchmarks applicable to ANZ New Zealand’s banking activities with customers and our own risk management

activities include the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor), the AUD Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) and the NZ Bank Bill Market Rate (BKBM). These are not

impacted by IBOR reform and these benchmark rates are expected to remain for the foreseeable future.

ANZ New Zealand approach to interest rate benchmark reform

The development of new RFR products and the migration of ANZ New Zealand’s existing contracts that reference IBORs to RFRs exposes ANZ New

Zealand to financial, compliance, legal and operational risks. ANZ New Zealand is managing the transition to RFRs and these risks through a

Benchmark Transition Programme (the Programme), which is overseen by a formal Steering Committee of senior executives.

The IBOR reforms have a wide-ranging impact for ANZ New Zealand and our customers, given the fundamental differences between IBORs and RFRs.

RFRs are available both as backward-looking in arrears rates and, for some currencies, as forward-looking term rates. The key difference between IBORs

and RFRs is that IBOR rates include a term and bank credit risk premium, whereas RFRs do not. As a result of these differences, adjustments are

required to an RFR to ensure contracts referencing an IBOR rate, transition on an economically comparable basis.



KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


In the process of applying ANZ New Zealand’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied

estimates and assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider

material to the financial statements are contained within each relevant note to the financial statements.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing effects on the global economy have continued to impact our customers, operations and

ANZ New Zealand‘s performance. Governments have responded at unprecedented levels to protect the health of the population,

local economies and livelihoods. The course of the pandemic and vaccination levels have varied across the globe and government

responses have differed in their extent and timing. Economies are reopening at different rates whilst the risk of subsequent waves of

infection remain. Thus there remains an elevated level of estimation uncertainty involved in the preparation of these financial

statements including:

• the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions of governments, businesses and consumers in the

ongoing management of the virus;

• the impact and expected response of the economy (and forecasts of key economic factors including GDP, employment and

house prices). This includes the response of capital markets, and the impacts on credit quality, liquidity, unemployment,

consumer spending, as well as specific sector impacts; and

• the efficacy of vaccines against variants of the virus, and the effectiveness of government and central bank measures to support

businesses and consumers through this disruption.

ANZ New Zealand

has made various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which

reflect expectations and assumptions as at 30 September 2021 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the

circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The underlying assumptions are also

subject to uncertainties which are outside the control of ANZ New Zealand. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be

different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may

significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.

The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected

credit losses and recoverable amounts of non-financial assets.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these estimates is discussed further in the relevant note of these financial statements.

Readers should carefully consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described above.



AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED - ANZ NEW ZEALAND 2021 DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Programme includes the identification of impacted IBOR contracts across ANZ New Zealand, actions necessary to develop product capability and

transition existing contracts to RFRs. This includes the assessment and mitigation of financial, legal and conduct risks arising from changes to pricing

and valuation (largely interest rate risk), compliance risks arising from any potential non-compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, legal risks

arising from changes to customer contracts, and operational risks including changes to IT systems, controls and reporting infrastructure. In

undertaking these changes, ANZ New Zealand is actively engaging RBNZ in respect of our IBOR transition readiness.

To date, ANZ New Zealand has commenced transitioning existing IBOR derivative trades to reference RFR benchmark rates and has established

processes to offer loans referencing RFR benchmark rates. ANZ New Zealand continues to extend and deliver its RFR product suite and pricing options

to be able support our customers in line with regulatory best practice guidelines.

The Programme also includes the management of the impact on customers. ANZ New Zealand is well-progressed in ensuring all customer transition

plans are finalised ahead of IBOR cessation dates, with the significant majority of our derivative counterparties with exposures referencing IBORs

agreeing to amend existing contracts by adhering to the industry developed ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol (ISDA Protocol) to facilitate a

standardised and orderly transition to RFRs.

ANZ New Zealand has also adhered to the ISDA Protocol.

In relation to our loan and transaction banking customers, ANZ New Zealand has commenced a proactive outreach programme to ensure an orderly

and well-managed migration to RFRs. ANZ New Zealand’s customer arrangements reference USD LIBOR, which will continue to be published for the

most widely used settings until 30 June 2023.

Changes to accounting standards

In 2018, given the uncertainty with regards to the longer term viability of IBORs, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) commenced a

review of the financial reporting implications of the reforms, given the significant potential consequences for financial instrument accounting.

In November 2019, the External Reporting Board (XRB) issued XRB amending standard Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, which amended certain existing

hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the interest rate benchmark reform. ANZ New

Zealand elected to early adopt the amendments from 1 October 2019, which have not had a significant impact on ANZ New Zealand.

In September 2020, the XRB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Refor m - Phase 2 (the Standard), which ANZ New Zealand early adopted from 1 April 2021.

This Standard addresses issues that may affect ANZ New Zealand at the point of transition from an existing IBOR to a RFR, including t

he effects of

changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships. The Standard includes amendments in respect of:

•Modification of a financial asset or a financial liability measured at amortised cost: IBOR reform is expected to result in a change to the basis for

determining contractual cash flows of impacted assets and liabilities of ANZ New Zealand. The Standard provides a practical expedient to

account for a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows by updating the effective interest rate. As a result, no immediate

gain or loss is recognised. This applies only when the change is a direct consequence of IBOR reform, and the new basis for determining the

contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis;

•Additional relief for hedging relationships: the Standard amends a number of existing hedge accounting requirements such that ANZ New

Zealand will not have to discontinue any hedge accounting relationships solely because of changes made because of the reform if all other

hedge accounting criteria are met; and

•Additional disclosure requirements: the Standard amended NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which requires additional qualitative and

quantitative disclosures in relation to the impact of IBOR reforms on ANZ New Zealand. These disclosures are contained within this note.

Financial i mpacts of IBOR reform

The following sets out ANZ New Zealand’s impact assessment in relation to IBOR reforms as at 30 September 2021:

i)Impact for the year ended 30 September 2021

For the year ended 30 September 2021, the net impact of the reforms recognised in ANZ New Zealand’s net profit after tax is not material. The

impacts recognised in the current year include:

a)changes in the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments for which it is known at balance sheet date – as a result of regulatory

pronouncements confirming IBOR cessation – that the fair valuation will incorporate a change to an RFR at a future date; and

b)revenue from a small number of customers in the Institutional segment who have transitioned to derivative contracts referencing an RFR by 30

September.

3 For cross-currency swaps, where both the receive and pay legs are in currencies subject to reform, ANZ New Zealand discloses the New Zealand dollar-equivalent notional amounts for both. Where

one leg of a swap is subject to reform, ANZ New Zealand discloses the notional amount of the receive leg.

4 For multi-currency IBOR referenced facilities, the undrawn balance has been allocated to the base currency of the facility. In the event the base currency interest rate is not subject to cessation, but

can be drawn in a currency subject to cessation, the allocation is based on most likely currency of drawdown.

iii) Hedge accounting exposures subject to IBOR reform

ANZ New Zealand has hedge-accounted relationships referencing IBORs, with the most significant being US dollar LIBOR, primarily due to ANZ

New Zealand’s fixed rate debt issuances denominated in US dollars that are designated in fair value hedge accounting relationships.

The table below details the carrying values of ANZ New Zealand's US dollar exposures designated in hedge accounting relationships referencing

LIBOR that will be impacted by reform The nominal value of the associated hedging instruments is also included:

programme supporting our customers and ANZ New Zealand’s own risk management activities will continue beyond 2021.

REVISED CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

On 1 October 2020, ANZ New Zealand adopted New Zealand Equivalent to the IASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (2018 Conceptual

Framework). The new framework includes updated definitions and criteria for the recognition and derecognition of assets and liabilities. Additionally, it

introduces new concepts on measurement, including factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis. The adoption of the conceptual

framework did not have a material impact on ANZ New Zealand.

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT EARLY ADOPTED

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for the financial statements

for the year ended 30 September 2021, and have not been applied by ANZ New Zealand in preparing these financial statements. Further details of

these are set out below.


GENERAL HEDGE ACCOUNTING

NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9) introduces new hedge accounting requirements which more closely align accounting with risk

management activities undertaken when hedging both financial and non-financial risks. NZ IFRS 9 provides ANZ New Zealand with an accounting

policy choice to continue to apply the NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39) hedge accounting requirements until

the IASB’s ongoing project on macro hedge accounting is completed. ANZ New Zealand continues to apply the hedge accounting requirements of

NZ IAS 39.

DEFERRED TAX RELATED TO ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM A SINGLE TRANSACTION

Amendments to New Zealand Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction amends NZ IAS 12

Income Taxes and clarifies that entities are required to recognise deferred tax on transactions for which there is both an asset and a liability and that

give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. This may include transactions such as leases and decommissioning or restoration

obligations. This amendment is effective for ANZ New Zealand from 1 October 2023 and is not expected to have a significant impact.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

NET INTEREST INCOME

Interest income and expense

We recognise interest income and expense in net interest income for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for

trading, assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

or designated at fair value through profit or loss. We use the

effective interest rate method to calculate amortised cost of assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets

measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the stream of estimated

future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net

carrying amount of

the financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we determine their expected life on the basis of

historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio - taking into account contractual obligations and prepayment experience.

We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instruments (for example loan origination fees and costs), using

the effective interest rate method. This is presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial

instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Fee and commission income

We recognise fee and commission revenue arising from contracts with customers (a) over time when the performance obligation is satisfied

across more than one reporting period or (b) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied immediately or is satisfied within

one reporting period.

• lending fees exclude fees treated as part of the effective yield calculation of interest income. Lending fees include certain guarantee and

commitment fees where the loan or guarantee is not likely to be drawn upon, and other fees charged for providing customers a distinct

good or service that are recognised separately from the underlying lending product (including annual package fees that provide benefits

on our other products).

• non-lending fees includes fees associated with deposit and credit card accounts, interchange fees and fees charged for specific customer

transactions such as international money transfers. Where ANZ New Zealand provides multiple goods or services to a customer under the

same contract, ANZ New Zealand allocates the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations based on the relative

stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Revenue is recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied.

• commissions represent fees from third parties where we act as an agent by arranging a third party (such as an insurance provider) to

provide goods and services to a customer. In such cases, we are not primarily responsible for providing the underlying good or service to

the customer. If the Group collects funds on behalf of a third party when acting as an agent, we only recognise the net commission it

retains as revenue. When the commission is variable based on factors outside our control (such as a trail commission), revenue is only

recognised if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the variable amount will not be required in future periods.

• funds management income represents fees earned from customers for providing financial advice and fees for asset management services

and advice provided to investment funds. Revenue is recognised either at the point the financial advice is provided or over the period in

which the asset management services are delivered.

Net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income

We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:

• exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and translation differences on monetary items translated at rates

different to those at which they were initially recognised;

• fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives that we use to manage interest rate and foreign exchange

risk on funding instruments not designated as accounting hedges;

• the ineffective portions of fair value hedges and cash flow hedges;

• immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments in items designated as fair value hedges

and amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges;

• fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss or held for trading;

• amounts released from the investment securities revaluation reserve in equity when a debt instrument classified as FVOCI is sold; and

• the gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost.

SHARE OF ASSOCIATES’ PROFIT / (LOSS)

The equity method is applied to accounting for associates. Under the equity method, ANZ New Zealand’s share of the after tax results of

associates is included in the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to ANZ New Zealand, over the period in which an asset is consumed, or once a

liability is created.

SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS – ANNUAL LEAVE, LONG SERVICE LEAVE AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Wages and salaries, annual leave, and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of employees

rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that ANZ New Zealand expects to pay when the liabilities

are settled.

We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff

departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market yields

are determined from a blended rate of government bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future cash outflows.

If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when ANZ New Zealand 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 reliably measured.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense comprises both current and deferred taxes and is based on the accounting profit adjusted for differences in the accounting

and tax treatments of income and expenses (that is, taxable income). We recognise tax expense in profit or loss except when the tax relates to

items recognised directly in equity and other comprehensive income, in which case we recognise the tax directly in equity or other

comprehensive income respectively.

CURRENT TAX EXPENSE

Current tax is the tax we expect to pay on taxable income for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the reporting date.

We recognise current tax as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

We account for deferred tax using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises because the accounting income is not always the same as the

taxable income. This creates temporary differences, which usually reverse over time. Until they reverse, we recognise a deferred tax asset, or

liability, on the balance sheet. We measure deferred taxes at the tax rates that we expect will apply to the period(s) when the asset is realised, or

the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.


We offset current and deferred tax assets and liabilities only to the extent that:

• they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority;

• there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis; and

• it is allowed under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

DESCRIPTION OF SEGMENTS

ANZ New Zealand is organised into three major business segments for segment reporting purposes - Personal, Business and Institutional. Centralised

back office and corporate functions support these segments. These segments are consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating

decision maker, being the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer.

During the year ended 30 September 2021, the Banking Group reorganised into the following business segments: Personal (including Personal

Banking and Funds Management), Business, and Institutional. These are intended to better align the Banking Group’s internal business with the needs

of its primary customer groups, home owners and business owners. These changes were implemented from August 2021 and have been accounted

for prospectively. There were net movements of NZ$870 million of loans and advances and NZ$4,750 million of customer deposits from Retail to

Business, and NZ$31 million of goodwill from Commercial to Personal. The reorganisation is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.

Comparative amounts have not been restated because the estimated impact on the financial performance and financial position of the affected

segments, Personal and Business, is not considered material.

Personal (previously Retail)

Personal provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to consumer and private banking customers. We deliver our services via

our internet and app-based digital solutions and network of branches, mortgage specialists, relationship managers and contact centres.

Business (previously Commercial)

Business provides a full range of banking services including small business banking, through our digital, branch and contact centre channels, and

traditional relationship banking and sophisticated financial solutions through dedicated managers. These cover privately owned small, medium and

large enterprises, the agricultural business segment, government and government related entities.

Institutional

The Institutional division services governments, global institutional and corporate customers via the following business units:

• Transaction Banking provides customers with working capital and liquidity solutions including documentary trade, supply chain financing as

well as cash management solutions, deposits, payments and clearing.

• Corporate Finance provides customers with loan products, loan syndication, specialised loan structuring and execution, project and export

finance, debt structuring and acquisition finance and corporate advisory services.

• Markets provides customers with risk management services on foreign exchange, interest rates, credit, commodities and debt capital markets in

addition to managing ANZ New Zealand’s interest rate exposure and liquidity position.

Other

Other includes treasury and back office support functions, none of which constitutes a separately reportable segment.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Financial assets - general

There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under NZ IFRS 9: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and fair

value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two

criteria:

• the business model within which the financial asset is managed; and

• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of

principal and interest).

The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:

• Amortised cost: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a

business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;

• FVOCI: financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a business

model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and

• FVTPL: any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.

Fair value option for financial assets

A financial asset may be irrevocably designated on initial recognition:

• at FVTPL when the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise; or

• at FVOCI for investments in equity securities, where that instrument is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by

an acquirer in a business combination.

Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of trading securities not valued using

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Trading securities are financial instruments we either:

• acquire principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term; or

• hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.

We recognise purchases and sales of trading securities on trade date:

• initially, we measure them at fair value; and

• subsequently, we measure them in the balance sheet at their fair value with any revaluation recognised in the profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments 9,283 (7,680)

FEATURES

Derivative financial in struments are contracts:

• whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract – sometimes the value is derived from more

than one variable;

• that require little or no initial net investment; and

• that are settled at a future date.

Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.

PURPOSE

ANZ New Zealand’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:

Trading

Derivatives held in order to:

• meet customer needs for managing their own risks.

• manage risks in ANZ New Zealand that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship (some elements

of balance sheet management).

• undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or

margins.

Designated in hedging

relationships

Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching

movements in underlying positions relating to:

• hedges of ANZ New Zealand’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.

• hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.

TYPES

ANZ New Zealand offers or uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:

Forwards

A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional

principal amount at a future date.

Futures

An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on the

transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.

Swaps

A contract in which one party exchanges one series of cash flows for another.

Options

A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a ‘call option’)

or to sell (known as a ‘put option’) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the

corresponding obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises the

option.

RISKS MANAGED

ANZ New Zealand offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following market factors:

Foreign exchange

Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.

Interest rate

Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.

Commodity

Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa, and sugar) and hard commodities (that

is, mined products such as gold, oil and gas).

Credit

Risk of default by customer or third parties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

ANZ New Zealand uses central clearing counterparties and exchanges to settle derivative transactions. Different arrangements for posting of collateral

exist with these exchanges:

• some transactions are subject to clearing arrangements which result in separate recognition of collateral assets and liabilities, with the carrying

values of the associated derivative assets and liabilities held at their fair value.

• other transactions are legally settled by the payment or receipt of collateral which reduces the carrying values of the related derivative

instruments by the amount paid or received.

In August 2021, ANZ New Zealand amended the terms of its legal agreements with one of its central clearing counterparties giving effect to this form

of legal settlement. As a result of this change, collateral paid and received by ANZ New Zealand under these agreements is no longer separately

recognised, instead settling ANZ New Zealand’s outstanding derivative exposures and reducing the associated carrying values of the derivative asset

and liability balances. The impact of this change as at 30 September 2021 is a reduction in derivative assets of NZ$3.9 billion and derivative liabilities of

NZ$4.1 billion, and a reduction in net collateral paid of NZ$0.2 billion.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


Judgement is required when we select the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivatives, particularly the selection

of valuation inputs that are not readily observable, and the application of valuation adjustments to certain derivatives. Refer to Note 16

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.





RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Recognition

Initially and at each reporting date, we recognise all derivatives at fair value. If the fair value of a derivative is

positive, then we carry it as an asset, but if its value is negative, then we carry it as a liability.

Valuation adjustments are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes:

• a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to reflect the counterparty risk and/or event of default; and

• a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) to account for funding costs and benefits in the derivatives portfolio.

Derecognition of

assets and liabilities

We remove derivative assets from our balance sheet when the contracts expire or we have transferred

substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We remove derivative liabilities from our balance sheet

when ANZ New Zealand’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

With respect to derivatives cleared through a central clearing counterparty or exchange, derivative assets or

liabilities may be derecognised in accordance with the principle above when collateral is settled, depending

on the legal arrangements in place for each instrument.

Impact on the

income statement

The recognition of gains or losses on derivative financial instruments depends on whether the derivative is

held for trading or is designated into a hedging relationship. For derivative financial instruments held for

trading, gains or losses from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

For an instrument designated into a hedging relationship the recognition of gains or losses depends on the

nature of the item being hedged. Refer to the table on page 21 for profit or loss treatment for each hedge type.

Sources of hedge ineffectiveness may arise from differences in the interest rate reference rate, margins, or rate

set differences and differences in discounting between the hedged items and the hedging instruments. The

hedging instruments are discounted using Overnight Index Swaps discount curves which are not applied to

the hedged items.

Hedge effectiveness

To qualify for hedge accounting a hedge is expected to be highly effective. A hedge is highly effective only if

the following conditions are met:

• the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows

attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated (prospective

effectiveness); and

• the actual results of the hedge are within the range of 80-125% (retrospective effectiveness).

ANZ New Zealand monitors hedge effectiveness on a regular basis but at a minimum at least at each reporting

date.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Investment securities are those financial assets in security form (that is, transferable debt or equity instruments) that are not held for trading

purposes. By way of exception, bills of exchange (a form of security/transferable instrument) which are used to facilitate ANZ New Zealand’s

customer lending activities are classified as loans and advances (rather than investment securities) to better reflect the substance of the

arrangement.

Non-trading equity instruments may be designated at FVOCI on an instrument by instrument basis. If this election is made, gains or losses are

not reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss on disposal of the investment. However, gains or losses may be reclassified

within equity.

Assets disclosed as investment securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on page

18. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with ‘Investment securities - debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive

income’ are recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for Expected Credit Losses, and

the allowance for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is recognised in the FVOCI reserve in equity with a corresponding charge to profit or loss.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are

facilities ANZ New Zealand provides directly to customers or through third party channels.

Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance, which are

primarily brokerage and other origination costs which we amortise over the estimated life of the loan. Subsequently, we then measure loans

and advances at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any allowance for expected credit losses.

ANZ New Zealand enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets that are recognised on its balance sheet. When ANZ New Zealand

retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets remain on ANZ New Zealand’s balance sheet,

however if substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, ANZ New Zealand derecognises the asset. If the risks and rewards are partially

retained and control over the asset is lost, then ANZ New Zealand derecognises the asset. If control over the asset is not lost, ANZ New Zealand

continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.

We separately recognise the rights and obligations retained, or created, in the transfer as assets and liabilities as appropriate.

Assets disclosed as net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on

page 18. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with loans and advances at amortised cost are recognised and measured in accordance

with the accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for Expected Credit Losses.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS MODEL

The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability weighted prediction which evaluates a range of scenarios and

takes into account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Expected credit losses are either measured over 12 months or the expected lifetime of the financial asset, depending on credit deterioration

since origination, according to the following three-stage approach:

• Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since origination,

an allowance equivalent to 12 months ECL is recognised reflecting the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are

possible within the next 12 months from the reporting date. For instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months,

expected credit losses are estimated based on default events that are possible over the remaining time to maturity.

• Stage 2: Where there has been a SICR since origination, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised reflecting expected credit

losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. If credit risk were to improve in a

subsequent period such that the increase in credit ri sk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure returns to a

Stage 1 classification and a 12 month ECL applies.

• Stage 3: Where there is objective evidence of impairment, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised.

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for exposures in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and on either a collective or individual basis

when transferred to Stage 3.

MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS

ECL is calculated as the product of the following credit risk factors at a facility level, discounted to incorporate the time value of money:

• Probability of default (PD) – the estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will default over a given period;

• Exposure at default (EAD) – the expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest,

expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest; and

• Loss given default (LGD) – the expected loss in the event of the borrower defaulting, expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD,

taking into account direct and indirect recovery costs.

These credit risk factors are adjusted for current and forward-looking information through the use of macro-economic variables.

EXPECTED LIFE

When estimating ECL for exposures in Stage 2 and 3, ANZ New Zealand considers the expected lifetime over which it is exposed to credit risk.

For non-retail portfolios, ANZ New Zealand uses the maximum contractual period as the expected lifetime for non-revolving credit facilities.

For non-retail revolving credit facilities, such as corporate lines of credit, the expected life reflects ANZ New Zealand’s contractual right to

withdraw a facility as part of a contractually agreed annual review, after taking into account the applicable notice period.

For re tail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using a behavioural term, taking into account expected prepayment behaviour and

substantial modifications.

DEFINITION OF DEFAULT, CREDIT IMPAIRED AND WRITE-OFFS

The definition of default used in measuring expected credit losses is aligned to the definition used for internal credit risk management

purposes across all portfolios. This definition is also in line with the regulatory definition of default. Default occurs when there are indicators

that a debtor is unlikely to fully satisfy contractual credit obligations to ANZ New Zealand, or the exposure is 90 days past due.

Financial assets, including those that are well secured, are considered credit impaired for financial reporting purposes when they default.

When there is no realistic probability of recovery, loans are written off against the related impairment allowance on completion of ANZ New

Zealand’s internal processes and when all reasonably expected recoveries have been collected. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of

amounts previously written-off are credited to credit impairment charge in the income statement.

MODIFIED FINANCIAL ASSETS

If the terms of a financial asset are modified or an existing financial asset is replaced with a new one for either credit or commercial reasons, an

assessment is made to determine if the changes to the terms of the existing financial asset are considered substantial. This assessment

considers both changes in cash flows arising from the modified terms as well as changes in the overall instrument risk profile; for example,

changes in the principal (credit limit), term, or type of underlying collateral. Where a modification is considered non-substantial, the existing

financial asset is not derecognised and its date of origination continues to be used to determine SICR. Where a modification is considered

substantial, the existing financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at its fair value on the modification date, which

also becomes the date of origination used to determine SICR for this new asset.

12. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)



































































RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CREDIT RISK (SICR)

Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a SICR since origination. In determining what constitutes a SICR, ANZ New Zealand

considers both qualitative and quantitative information:

i. Internal credit rating grade

For the majority of portfolios, the primary indicator of a SICR is a significant deterioration in the internal credit rating grade of a facility

since origination and is measured by application of thresholds.

For non-retail portfolios, a SICR is determined by comparing the Customer Credit Rating (CCR) applicable to a facility at reporting

date to the CCR at origination of that facility. A CCR is assigned to each borrower which reflects the probability of default of the

borrower and incorporates both borrower and non-borrower specific information, including forward-looking information. CCRs are

subject to review at least annually or more frequently when an event occurs which could affect the credit risk of the customer.

For retail portfolios, a SICR is determined, depending on the type of facility, by either comparing the scenario weighted lifetime

probability of default at the reporting date to that at origination, or by reference to customer behavioural score thresholds. The

scenario weighted lifetime probability of default may increase significantly if:

• there has been a deterioration in the economic outlook, or an increase in economic uncertainty; or

• there has been a deterioration in the customer’s overall credit position, or ability to manage their credit obligations.

ii. Backstop criteria

ANZ New Zealand uses 30 days past due arrears as a backstop criterion for both non-retail and retail portfolios. For retail portfolios

only, facilities are required to demonstrate three to six months of good payment behaviour prior to being allocated back to Stage 1.

iii. COVID-19 initiatives

Facilities previously subject to the COVID-19 payment deferral arrangements have been subsumed in to the normal loan portfolios

and SICR applied accordingly.


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Forward-looking information is incorporated into both our assessment of whether a financial asset has experienced a SICR since its initial

recognition and in our estimate of ECL. In applying forward-looking information for estimating ECL, ANZ New Zealand considers four

probability-weighted forecast economic scenarios as follows:

i. Base case scenario

The base case scenario is our view of likely future macro-economic conditions. It reflects management’s assumptions used for

strategic planning and budgeting, and also informs the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)

which is the process ANZ New Zealand applies in strategic and capital planning over a 3-year time horizon;

ii. Upside and iii. Downside scenarios

The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the

economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and

pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic events and uncertainty over long term horizons; and

iv. Severe downside scenario

The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe

impact of less likely extremely adverse economic conditions. It reflects macro-economic conditions of a downturn economic event

with a probability of occurrence once every 25 years.

The four scenarios are described in terms of macro-economic variables used in the PD, LGD and EAD models (collectively the ECL models)

depending on the lending portfolio and country of the borrower. Examples of the variables include unemployment rates, GDP growth

rates, house price indices, commercial property price indices and consumer price indices.

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

economic scenario, as well as specific portfolio considerations where required.

Where applicable, temporary adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been

adequately addressed in the modelling process.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In estimating collectively assessed ECL, ANZ New Zealand makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:

• the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology; and

• the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.

The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the ECL model inputs and the interdependencies between

those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.

The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impact of COVID-19, and reflect historical experience

and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the

circumstances. ANZ New Zealand’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgement /

assumption


Description

Considerations for the year ended

30 September 2021

Determining

when a SICR

has occurred

In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved in

setting the rules and trigger points to determine

whether there has been a SICR since initial

recognition of a loan, which would result in the

financial asset moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This is

a key area of ju dgement since transition from Stage 1

to Stage 2 increases the ECL from an allowance based

on the probability of default in the next 12 months, to

an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses.

Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in

transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly result

in significant changes in the ECL allowance.

The setting of precise trigger points requires

judgement which may have a material impact upon

the size of the ECL allowance. ANZ New Zealand

monitors the effectiveness of SICR criteria on an

ongoing basis.

The support packages offered to customers in

response to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 have ceased

with the majority of customers who took up the

support packages having reverted back to their

normal loan repayments. Given the recent cessation

of these packages, ANZ New Zealand has provided a

component of ECL for expected delinquencies that

may have been obscured by the support measures.

Measuring

both 12-month

and lifetime

credit losses

The probability of default (PD), loss given default

(LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) credit risk

parameters used in determining ECL are point-in -time

measures reflecting the relevant forward-looking

information determined by management. Judgement

is involved in determining which forward-looking

information variables are relevant for particular

lending portfolios and for determining each

portfolio’s point-in -time sensitivity.

The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to ANZ New

Zealand’s model risk policy that stipulates periodic

model monitoring, periodic re -validation and defines

approval procedures and authorities according to

model materiality.

During the year ended 30 September 2021 an

adjustment was made to the modelled outcome to

account for increased model uncertainties as a result

of COVID-19.


In addition, judgement is required where behavioural

characteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime of

a facility to be used in measuring ECL.

There were no material changes to the policies during

the year ended 30 September 2021.

Base case

economic

forecast

ANZ New Zealand derives a forward-looking “base

case” economic scenario which reflects our view of

the most likely future macro-economic conditions.

There have been no changes to the types of forward-

looking variables (key economic drivers) used as

model inputs in the current year.

As at 30 September 2021, the base case assumptions

have been updated to reflect the evolving situation

with respect to COVID-19, including emergence from

lockdowns, government stimulus measures and roll-

out of vaccines. In determining the expected path of

the economy, assessments of the impact of central

bank policies, governments’ actions, the response of

business, and institution specific responses (such as

payment deferrals) were considered.

The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for

the base case scenario as at 30 September 2021 are

described below under the heading “Base case

economic forecast assumptions”.

taking into account short and long-term inter-

relationships within ANZ New Zealand’s credit

portfolios.

As at 30 September 2021, a base case weighting of

50% has been applied, and more weight has been

applied to the downside scenario given ANZ New

Zealand’s assessment of downside risks.

The assigned probability weightings are subject to a

high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the

actual outcomes may be significantly different to

those projected.

Management

temporary

adjustments

Management temporary adjustments to the ECL

allowance are used in circumstances where it is

judged that our existing inputs, assumptions and

model techniques do not capture all the risk factors

relevant to our lending portfolios. Emerging lo cal or

global macroeconomic, microeconomic or political

events, and natural disasters that are not incorporated

into our current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-

looking information are examples of such

circumstances. The use of management temporary

adjustments may impact the amount of ECL

recognised.

The uncertainty associated with the COVID-19

pandemic, including the roll-out of vaccines and their

efficacy, and the extent to which the actions of

governments, businesses and consumers mitigate

against potentially adverse credit outcomes are not

fully incorporated into existing ECL models which are

based on historical underlying data. Accordingly,

management overlays have been applied to ensure

credit provisions are appropriate.

Management have applied a number of adjustments

to the modelled ECL primarily due to the uncertainty

associated with continuing COVID-19 impacts.

Management overlays (including COVID-19 overlays)

which add to the modelled ECL provision have been

made for risks particular to personal and business

banking.

Management temporary adjustments total NZ$177

million (2020: NZ$177 million).


1. The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are

based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic conditions.

2. The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe downside impact of less likely extremely adverse economic

conditions.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Base case economic forecast assumptions

The uncertain evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government, business and consumer responses, increases the risk of the

economic forecast resulting in an understatement or overstatement of the ECL balance due to uncertainties around:

• the extent and duration of measures, including the roll-out of vaccines and the relaxation of containment measures, impacting the

spread of COVID-19;

• the expected impact on the economy, including the timing and speed of the economic response and differences between sectors; and

• the effects of progressive reductions in stimulus measures, in particular their impact on the extent and duration of economic recovery.

The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts at 30 September 2021 are set out below. These reflect our view of future macro-

economic conditions at 30 September 2021. For years beyond the near term forecasts below, the ECL models project future year economic

conditions including an assumption to eventual reversion to mid-cycle economic conditions.


Forecast calendar year

New Zealand

2021 2022 2023

Gross domestic product (GDP) (annual % change) 4.3% 4.3% 2.9%

Unemployment rate 4.1% 3.9% 3.9%

Residential property prices (annual % change) 22.4% 0.4% 5.2%

Consumer price index (CPI) 3.3 2.9 1.9

The base case economic forecasts as at 30 September 2021 indicate a significant improvement in current and expected economic conditions

from the forecasts as at 30 September 2020 reflecting the ongoing progress and actions in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Probability weightings

Probability weightings for each scenario are determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case

economic scenario. The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the effectiveness of actions taken in response to

COVID-19 relaxation of containment measures by governments, and the take-up of vaccines limiting the impact of the virus.

The base case scenario represents a significant improvement in the forecasts since September 2020. Given the uncertainties associated with a

potential ongoing recovery of the economy, the base case weighting remains at 50% and the downside scenario has been increased to 40.5%

(2020: 32.0%).

The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be

significantly different to those projected. ANZ New Zealand considers these weightings to provide estimates of the possible loss outcomes and

taking into account short and long term inter-relationships within ANZ New Zealand’s credit portfolios. The average weightings applied are set

out below:


2021 2020

Base 50.0% 50.0%

Upside 4.5% 8.0%

Downside 40.5% 32.0%

Severe downside 5.0% 10.0%

ECL - Sensitivity analysis

Given current economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future

periods, expected credit losses reported by ANZ New Zealand should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

The table below illustrates the sensitivity of collectively assessed ECL to key factors used in determining it as at 30 September 2021:

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) when they are held for trading. Additionally, financial

liabilities can be designated at FVTPL where:

• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise;

• a group of financial liabilities are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk

management strategy; or

• the financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives unless:

a) the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or

b) the embedded derivative is closely related to the host financial liability.

Where financial liabilities are designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are included

in other comprehensive income, except where doing so would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

For deposits and other borrowings that:

• are not designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, we measure them at amortised cost and recognise their interest

expense using the effective interest rate method; and

• are managed on a fair value basis, reduce or eliminate an accounting mismatch or contain an embedded derivative, we designate them as

measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Refer to Note 16 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for further details.

For deposits and other borrowings designated at fair value we recognise the amount of fair value gain or loss attributable to changes in ANZ New

Zealand’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income in retained earnings. Any remaining amount of fair value gain or loss we recognise directly

in profit or loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to profit or loss.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent a liability to repurchase the financial assets that remain on our balance sheet since the risks

and rewards of ownership remain with

ANZ New Zealand. Over the life of the repurchase agreement, we recognise the difference between the sale

price and the repurchase price and charge it to interest expense in the income statement.

14. DEBT ISSUANCES

ANZ New Zealand uses a variety of funding programmes to issue unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt. The difference between

unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt is that holders of unsubordinated debt take priority over holders of subordinated debt owed by the

relevant issuer. In any liquidation event subordinated debt will be repaid by the relevant issuer only after the repayment of claims of depositors, other

creditors and the unsubordinated debt holders.

Covered Bond Trust (the Covered Bond Trust). The Covered Bond Trust is a member of ANZ New Zealand, whereas the Covered Bond Guarantor is not

a member of ANZ New Zealand.

SUBORDINATED DEBT

Other subordinated debt instruments rank ahead of ANZ Capital Notes in any liquidation event impacting the issuer of the instruments. ANZ Capital

Notes 3 (ANZ CN3) rank equally with other additional tier 1 capital instruments issued by the Ultimate Parent Bank. ANZ New Zealand Capital Notes

(ANZ NZ CN) rank equally with the Bank’s other additional tier 1 capital instruments, including preference shares.

ANZ CAPITAL NOTES

ANZ Capital Notes are fully paid mandatorily convertible non-cumulative perpetual subordinated notes. Holders of ANZ Capital Notes do not have any

right to vote in general meetings of the Ultimate Parent Bank or the Bank.

ANZ Capital Notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond ANZ New Zealand’s control where the principal is converted into a

variable number of ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank.

Distributions on ANZ CN3 and interest payments on ANZ NZ CN are non-cumulative and subject to the issuer’s absolute discretion and certain

payment conditions (including regulatory requirements). Distributions on ANZ CN3 are franked in line with the franking applied to the Ultimate Parent

Bank’s ordinary shares.

Where specified, ANZ Capital Notes provide the issuer with an early redemption or conversion option on a specified date and in certain other

circumstances (such as a tax or regulatory event). This option is subject to APRA’s and, in respect of early redemption of the ANZ NZ CN, APRA’s and

RBNZ’s prior written approval.

14. DEBT ISSUANCES (continued)

ANZ Capital Notes will immediately convert into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank (based on the average market price

of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ordinary shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount, subject to a maximum conversion number of

Ultimate Parent Bank ordinary shares) if:

• the Overseas Banking Group’s Level 1 (ANZ CN3 only) or Level 2 common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% or, in the case

of the ANZ NZ CN, the Banking Group’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% - known as a Common Equity Capital

Trigger Event; or

• APRA notifies the Ultimate Parent Bank that, without the conversion or write-off of certain securities or a public injection of capital (or equivalent

support), it considers that the Ultimate Parent Bank would become non-viable or, in the case of the ANZ NZ CN, the RBNZ directs the Bank to

convert or write-off the notes or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides that the Bank must convert or write-off the notes –

known as a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

ANZ Capital Notes mandatorily convert into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank (based on the average market price of

the shares immediately prior to conversion less a 1% discount):

• on a specified mandatory conversion date; or

• on an earlier date under certain circumstances as set out in the terms.

However, the mandatory conversion is deferred for a specified period if certain conversion tests are not met.

1 On 2 April 2020, RBNZ announced that locally incorporated banks, including the Bank, should not redeem capital notes at that time. Accordingly, the Bank was not permitted to, and did

not, redeem ANZ NZ CN on 25 May 2020 (the Optional Exchange Date). Further, the Bank did not exercise its option to convert ANZ NZ CN into ordinary shares of the Ultimate Parent Bank

on the Optional Exchange Date.

The RBNZ has released new capital adequacy requirements for New Zealand banks, which are being implemented from October 2021 to July 2028.

Under the new requirements, from 1 January 2022, the ANZ NZ CNs are subject to a 12.5% reduction in their regulatory capital recognition. As a result,

the Bank has determined that a regulatory event (as defined in the ANZ NZ CN Deed Poll) has occurred in respect of these notes. The occurrence of a

regulatory event means that the Bank may choose to redeem the ANZ NZ CNs at its discretion. A redemption of the ANZ NZ CNs is subject to certain

conditions, including approval from the RBNZ and APRA. As at 10 November 2021, no decision has been made on whether the Bank will redeem the

ANZ NZ CNs.











RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Debt issuances are measured at amortised cost. Where ANZ New Zealand enters into a fair value hedge accounting relationship, the fair value

attributable to the hedge risk is reflected in adjustments to the carrying value of the debt. Interest expense is recognised using the effective

interest rate method.

Subordinated debt with capital-based conversion features (i.e. Common Equity Capital Trigger Event or Non-Viability Trigger Events) are

considered to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at fair value through profit and loss. The embedded derivatives arise

because the amount of shares issued on conversion following any of those trigger events is subject to the maximum conversion number,

however they have no significant value as of the reporting date given the remote nature of those trigger events.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AND MODEL

INTRODUCTION

The use of financial instruments is fundamental to ANZ New Zealand’s businesses of providing banking and other financial services to our customers.

The associated financial risks (primarily credit, market, and liquidity risks) are a significant portion of ANZ New Zealand’s key material risks.

This note details ANZ New Zealand’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the key financial risks:

Key material financial risks Key sections applicable to this risk

Credit risk

The risk of financial loss resulting from:

• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or

• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in financial loss.

Credit risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending to customers

who could be impacted by climate change or by changes to laws,

regulations, or other policies adopted by governments or regulatory

authorities, including carbon pricing and climate change adaptation or

mitigation policies.

• Credit risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Maximum exposure to credit risk

• Credit quality

• Concentrations of credit risk

OVERVIEW

AN OVERVIEW OF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

This overview is provided to aid the users of the financial statements in understanding the context of the financial disclosures required under NZ IFRS

7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (NZ IFRS 7).

The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZ New Zealand’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board has delegated authority

to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with ANZ New Zealand’s risk management policies. The BRC reports

regularly to the Board on its activities.

The Board approves the strategic objectives of ANZ New Zealand including:

• the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that ANZ New Zealand is prepared to

accept in pursuit of its strategic objectives and business plan; and

• the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes ANZ New Zealand’s strategy for managing risks and the key elements of the RMF that

give effect to this strategy. This includes a description of each material risk, and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference

to the relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how ANZ New Zealand identifies, measures, evaluates,

monitors, reports and controls or mitigates material risks.

ANZ New Zealand, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and robust control environment in

which all employees understand their roles and obligations. At ANZ New Zealand, risk is everyone’s responsibility.

ANZ New Zealand has an independent risk management function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who:

• is responsible for overseeing the risk profile and the risk management framework;

• can effectively challenge activities and decisions that materially affect ANZ New Zealand’s risk profile; and

• has an independent reporting line to the BRC to enable the appropriate escalation of issues of concern.

Internal Audit Function

Internal Audit is a function independent of management whose role is to provide the Board and management with an effective and independent

appraisal of the internal controls established by management. Operating under a Board approved Charter, the reporting line for the outcomes of work

conducted by Internal Audit is direct to the Chair of the Audit Committee, with a direct communication line to the Chief Executive Officer and the

external auditor. The Internal Audit Plan is developed using a risk based approach and is reviewed quarterly. The Audit Committee approves the plan.

All audit activities are conducted in accordance with local and international internal auditing standards, and the results of the activities are reported to

the Audit Committee and management. These results influence the performance assessment of business heads. Furthermore, Internal Audit monitors

the remediation of audit issues and reports the current status of any outstanding audits.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

CREDIT RISK

CREDIT RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Granting credit facilities to customers is one of ANZ New Zealand’s major sources of income. As this activity is also a key material risk, ANZ New

Zealand dedicates considerable resources to its management. ANZ New Zealand assumes credit risk in a wide range of lending and other activities in

diverse markets and in many jurisdictions. Credit risks arise from traditional lending to customers as well as from interbank, treasury, trade finance and

capital markets activities.

Our credit risk management framework ensures we apply a consistent approach across ANZ New Zealand when we measure, monitor and manage

the credit risk appetite set by the Board. The Board is assisted and advised by the BRC in discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The BRC:

• sets the credit risk appetite and credit strategies; and

• approves credit transactions beyond the discretion of executive management.

The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of credit risk and compliance with credit risk policies to the Bank’s Credit Risk

Management Committee (CRMC).

We quantify credit risk through an internal credit rating system (Master Scale ) to ensure consistency across exposure types and to provide a consistent

framework for reporting and analysis. The system uses models and other tools to measure the following for customer exposures:

Probability of Default (PD) Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting ANZ New Zealand’s assessment of a customer’s

ability to service and repay debt.

Exposure at Default (EAD) The expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and

interest, expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest at the time of default.

Loss Given Default (LGD) Expressed by a Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the

percentage of loan covered by security which ANZ New Zealand can realise if a customer defaults. The

A-G scale is supplemented by a range of other SIs which cover such factors as cash cover and sovereign

backing. For retail and some small business lending, we group exposures into large homogeneous

pools – and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.

Our specialist credit risk teams develop and validate ANZ New Zealand’s PD and LGD rating models. The outputs from these models drive our day-to-

day credit risk management decisions including origination, pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, internal capital allocation, and credit

provisioning.

All customers with whom ANZ New Zealand has a credit relationship are assigned a CCR at origination via either of the following assessment

approaches:

Large and more complex lending Retail and some small business lending

Rating models provide a consistent and structured assessment, with

judgement required around the use of out-of-model factors. We

handle credit approval on a dual approval basis, jointly with the

business writer and an independent credit officer.

Automated assessment of credit applications using a combination of

scoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit

reporting information. If the application does not meet the automated

assessment criteria, then it is subject to manual assessment.

We use ANZ New Zealand’s internal CCR to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, ANZ New Zealand’s CCRs are

mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO CREDIT RISK

For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may

be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these

differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to

market risk, or bank notes and coins.

For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum

exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount ANZ New Zealand would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any

collateral held or other credit enhancements.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk becomes concentrated when a number of customers are engaged in similar activities, have similar economic characteristics, or have similar

activities within the same geographic region – therefore, they may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. ANZ New

Zealand monitors its credit portfolio to manage risk concentration and rebalance the portfolio. ANZ New Zealand also applies single customer

counterparty limits to protect against unacceptably large exposures to one single customer.

Analysis of financial assets by industry sector is based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes. The significant

categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC), except that Agriculture is shown separately as

required by the Order.

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT

We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations. Where there is

sufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is largely the case for certain lending products that are secured by corresponding

investment for which margin loans are utilised and for reverse repurchase agreements. For some products, the collateral provided by customers is

fundamental to the product’s structuring, so it is not strictly the secondary source of repayment - for example, lending secured by trade receivables is

typically repaid by the collection of those receivables. During the period there was no change in our collateral policies.

The nature of collateral or security held for the relevant classes of financial assets is as follows:

Net loans and advances

Loans – housing and personal Housing loans are secured by mortgage(s) over property and additional security may take the form of

guarantees and deposits.

Personal lending (including credit cards and overdrafts) is predominantly unsecured. If we take

security, then it is restricted to eligible vehicles, motor homes and other assets.

Loans – business Business loans may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Typically, we take security by way of a

mortgage over property and/or a charge over the business or other assets.

If appropriate, we may take other security to mitigate the credit risk, such as guarantees, standby letters

of credit or derivative protection.

Other financial assets

Trading securities, investment

securities, derivatives and other

financial assets

For trading securities, we do not seek collateral directly from the issuer or counterparty. However, the

collateral may be implicit in the terms of the instrument (for example, with an asset-backed security).

The terms of debt securities may include collateralisation.

For derivatives, we typically terminate all contracts with the counterparty and settle on a net basis at

market levels current at the time of a counterparty default under International Swaps and Derivatives

Association (ISDA) Master Agreements.

Our preferred practice is to use a Credit Support Annex (CSA) to the ISDA so that open derivative

positions with the counterparty are aggregated and cash collateral (or other forms of eligible collateral)

is exchanged daily. The collateral is provided by the counterparty when their position is out of the

money (or provided to the counterparty by ANZ New Zealand when our position is out of the money).

Off-balance sheet positions

Undrawn and contingent liabilities Collateral for off-balance sheet positions is mainly held against undrawn facilities, and they are typically

performance bonds or guarantees. Undrawn facilities that are secured include housing loans secured

by mortgages over residential property and business lending secured by commercial real estate and/or

charges over business assets.

The table below shows the estimated value of collateral we hold and the net unsecured portion of credit exposures:

MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Market risk stems from ANZ New Zealand’s trading and balance sheet management activities and the impact of changes and correlations between

interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads and volatility in bond, commodity or equity prices.

The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of both market risk and compliance with market risk policies to the Bank’s Asset &

Liability Committee (ALCO).

Within overall strategies and policies established by the BRC, business units and risk management have joint responsibility for the control of market

risk at the ANZ New Zealand level. The Market Risk team (a specialist risk management unit independent of the business) allocates market risk limits at

various levels and monitors and reports on them daily. This detailed framework allocates individual limits to manage and control exposures using risk

factors and profit and loss limits.

Management, measurement and reporting of market risk is undertaken in two broad categories:

Traded market risk Non-traded market risk

Risk of loss from changes in the value of financial instruments due

to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative

trading positions. Principal risk categories monitored are:

• Currency risk – potential loss arising from changes in foreign

exchange rates or their implied volatilities.

• Interest rate risk – potential loss from changes in market

interest rates or their implied volatilities.

• Credit spread risk – potential loss arising from a movement

in margin or spread relative to a benchmark.

• Commodity risk – potential loss arising from changes in

commodity prices or their implied volatilities.

• Equity risk – potential loss arising from changes in equity

prices.

Risk of loss associated with the management of non-traded interest rate risk,

liquidity risk and foreign exchange exposures. This includes interest rate risk

in the banking book. This risk of loss arises from adverse changes in the

overall and relative level of interest rates for different tenors, differences in

the actual versus expected net interest margin, and the potential valuation

risk associated with embedded options in financial instruments and bank

products.


MEASUREMENT OF MARKET RISK

We primarily manage and control market risk using Value at Risk (VaR), sensitivity analysis and stress testing.

VaR measures ANZ New Zealand’s possible daily loss based on historical market movements.

ANZ New Zealand’s VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. We use historical changes in market rates, prices and

volatilities over:

• the previous 500 business days, to calculate standard VaR; and

• a 1-year stressed period, to calculate stressed VaR.

We calculate traded and non-traded VaR using a one-day holding period. For stressed VaR we use a ten-day period. Back testing is used to ensure our

VaR models remain accurate.

ANZ New Zealand measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval which means there is a 99% chance that a loss will not exceed the VaR for the relevant

holding period.

ANZ New Zealand as a whole. Consequently, a diversification benefit for high and low would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the table.


Non-traded market risk

Balance sheet risk management

The principal objectives of balance sheet risk management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate the negative

impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of ANZ New Zealand’s banking book, while ensuring ANZ New Zealand

maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.

Interest rate risk management

Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZ New Zealand’s future net interest

income. This risk arises from two principal sources, namely mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets and liabilities; and the

investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities in interest bearing assets. Interest rate risk is reported using VaR and scenario analysis

(based on the impact of a 1% rate shock). The table below shows VaR figures for non-traded interest rate risk for ANZ New Zealand.

We undertake scenario analysis to stress test the impact of extreme events on ANZ New Zealand’s market risk exposures. We model a 1% overnight

parallel positive shift in the yield curve to determine the potential impact on our net interest income over the next 12 months. This is a standard risk

measure which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.

The table below shows the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years, expressed as a percentage of reported net

interest income.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK – STRUCTURAL EXPOSURES

Where it is considered appropriate, ANZ New Zealand takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated revenue streams

(primarily Australian Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). The primary objective of hedging is to ensure that, if practical, the effect of changes in

foreign exchange rates on the consolidated capital ratios are minimised.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISK

LIQUIDITY RISK OVERVIEW, MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES

Liquidity risk is the risk that ANZ New Zealand is either:

• unable to meet its payment obligations (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) when they fall due; or

• does not have the appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and liquidity to fund increases in its assets.

Management of liquidity and funding is overseen by ALCO. ANZ New Zealand’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a set of principles

approved by the Risk Committees of the Bank’s and Ultimate Parent Bank’s Boards and include:

• maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in the immediate term;

• ensuring that ANZ New Zealand has the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’ under ANZ New Zealand specific and general market liquidity stress

scenarios to meet cash flow obligations over the short to medium term;

• maintaining strength in ANZ New Zealand’s balance sheet structure to ensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;

• ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements;

• preparing daily liquidity reports and scenario analysis to quantify ANZ New Zealand’s positions;

• targeting a diversified funding base to avoid undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency;

• holding a portfolio of high quality liquid assets to protect against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day operations; and

• establishing a detailed contingency plan to cover different liquidity crisis events.

KEY AREAS OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIQUIDITY RISK

Supervision and regulation

The RBNZ requires the Bank to have a comprehensive Board approved liquidity strategy defining: policy, systems and procedures for measuring,

assessing, reporting and managing liquidity. This also includes a formal contingency plan for dealing with a liquidity crisis. The Banking Group is

required to meet one week and one month liquidity mismatch ratios and a one year core funding ratio each day.

Scenario modelling

A key component of ANZ New Zealand’s liquidity management framework is scenario modelling.

Potential severe liquidity crisis scenarios which model the behaviour of cash flows where there is a problem (real or perceived) may include, but are

not limited to, operational issues, doubts about the solvency of ANZ New Zealand, or adverse rating changes. Under these scenarios ANZ New

Zealand may have significant difficulty rolling over or replacing funding. ANZ New Zealand’s liquidity policy requires sufficient high quality liquid

assets to be held to meet its liquidity needs for the following 30 calendar days under the modelled scenarios.

As of 30 September 2021 ANZ New Zealand was in compliance with the above scenarios.

Structural balance sheet metrics

ANZ New Zealand’s liquidity management framework also encompasses structural balance sheet metrics such as the RBNZ core funding ratio. These

metrics are designed to limit the amount of wholesale funding required to be rolled over within a 1 year timeframe and so interact with the liquidity

scenarios to maintain ANZ New Zealand‘s liquidity position.

Wholesale funding

ANZ New Zealand’s wholesale funding strategy is designed to deliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances cost efficiency with

targeting diversification by markets, investors, currencies, maturities and funding structures. Short-term and long-term wholesale funding is managed

and executed by Treasury operations.

ANZ New Zealand also uses maturity concentration limits under the wholesale funding and liquidity management framework. Maturity concentration

limits ensure that ANZ New Zealand is not required to issue large volumes of new wholesale funding within a short time period to replace maturing

wholesale funding. Funding instruments used to meet the wholesale borrowing requirement must be on a pre-established list of approved products.

Funding capacity and debt issuance planning

ANZ New Zealand adopts a conservative approach to determine its funding capacity. Annually, a funding plan is approved by the Bank’s Board. The

plan is supplemented by regular updates and is linked to ANZ New Zealand’s three-year strategic planning cycle.

The Bank also held unencumbered internal residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) which would be accepted as collateral by RBNZ in

repurchase transactions. These holdings would entitle the Bank to enter into repurchase transactions with RBNZ with a value of NZ$9,647 million at 30

September 2021 (2020: NZ$8,184 million).

RBNZ Term Lending Facility (TLF) and Funding for Lending Programme (FLP)

• Between May 2020 and July 2021, RBNZ made funds available under the TLF to promote lending to businesses. The TLF is a five-year secured

funding facility for New Zealand banks at a fixed rate of 0.25%.

• In November 2020, RBNZ announced the FLP which aims to lower the cost of borrowing for New Zealand businesses and households. The FLP is

a three-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a floating rate of the New Zealand Official Cash Rate (OCR). New Zealand banks

can obtain initial funding of up to 4% of their lending to New Zealand resident households, non-financial businesses and non-profit institutions

serving households as at 31 October 2020 (eligible loans). An additional allocation of up to 2% of eligible loans is available, subject to certain

conditions. The Bank’s initial allocation is NZ$5,223 million and its additional allocation is NZ$2,611 million. The additional allocation is available

until 6 December 2022, and the initial allocation is available until 6 June 2022.

As at 30 September 2021, the Bank had drawn NZ$300 million (2020: nil) under the TLF and NZ$1,000 million (2020: nil) under the FLP. These amounts

are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements in Note 13 Deposits and Other Borrowings.

Liquidity crisis contingency planning

ANZ New Zealand maintains a liquidity crisis contingency plan to define an approach for analysing and responding to a liquidity-threatening event on

a group wide basis. The framework includes:

• the establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;

• clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;

• early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, and mechanisms to monitor and report these signals;

• outlined action plans, and courses of action for altering asset and liability behaviour;

• procedures for crisis management reporting, and covering cash-flow shortfalls; and

• assigned responsibilities for internal and external communications.

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

ANZ New Zealand carries a significant number of financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value is the best estimate of the price

that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

VALUATION

ANZ New Zealand has an established control framework, including appropriate segregation of duties, to ensure that fair values are accurately

determined, reported and controlled. The framework includes the following features:

• products are approved for transacting with external customers and counterparties only where fair values can be appropriately determined;

• quoted market prices used to value financial instruments are independently verified with information from external pricing providers;

• fair value methodologies and inputs are evaluated and approved by a function independent of the party that undertakes the transaction;

• movements in fair values are independently monitored and explained by reference to underlying factors relevant to the fair value; and

• valuation adjustments (such as funding valuation adjustments, credit valuation adjustments and bid-offer adjustments) are independently

validated and monitored.

If ANZ New Zealand holds offsetting risk positions, then ANZ New Zealand uses the portfolio exemption in NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (NZ IFRS

13) to measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. We measure the portfolio based on the price that would be

received to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.

FAIR VALUE APPROACH AND VALUATION TECHNIQUES

We use valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted

price in an active market exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:

Asset or liability Fair value approach

Financial instruments classified as:

- Trading securities

- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities

- Investment securities

Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial

instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.

Financial instruments classified as:

- Net loans and advances

- Deposits and other borrowings

- Debt issuances

Discounted cash flow techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the

instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates

for debt with similar maturities or with a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to

maturity.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

ANZ New Zealand categorises assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by NZ IFRS 13 based on the observability

of inputs used to measure the fair value:

• Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly

or indirectly; and

• Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.

The following table presents assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

The following table sets out ANZ New Zealand’s basis of estimating the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost

where the carrying value is not typically a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Financial asset and liability Fair value approach

Net loans and advances to banks Discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for loans with similar credit quality.

Net loans and advances to customers Present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve that incorporates changes in

wholesale market rates, ANZ New Zealand’s cost of wholesale funding and the customer margin,

as appropriate.

Deposit liability without a specified maturity or

at call

The amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We do not adjust the fair value for any

value we expect ANZ New Zealand to derive from retaining the deposit for a future period.

Interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and

other borrowings and acceptances with

quoted market rates

Market borrowing rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount contractual

cash flows to derive the fair value.

Debt issuances Calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs as applicable. If quoted market

prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate for

the remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument. The fair value reflects adjustments to credit

spreads applicable to ANZ New Zealand for that instrument.

The financial assets and financial liabilities listed in the table below are carried at amortised cost on ANZ New Zealand’s balance sheet. While this is the

value at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, ANZ New Zealand provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial

assets and financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


ANZ New Zealand evaluates the material accuracy of the valuations incorporated in the financial statements as they can involve a high degree

of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date.

The majority of valuation models ANZ New Zealand uses employ only observable market data as inputs. This has not changed as a result of

COVID-19, however ANZ New Zealand has considered the impact of related economic and market disruptions on fair value measurement

assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs, notably valuation adjustments, as well as th e impact of COVID-19 on the classification of

exposures in the fair value hierarchy.

For certain financial instruments, we may use data that is not readily observable in current markets. If we use unobservable market data, then

we need to exercise more judgement to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall

valuation. Generally, we derive unobservable inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices where

available.

When establishing the fair value of a financial instrument using a valuation technique, ANZ New Zealand considers valuation adjustments in

determining the fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as bid/offer spreads, credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation

adjustments – refer Note 9 Derivative Financial Instruments) to reflect ANZ New Zealand’s assessment of factors that market participants

would consider in determining fair value.

18. OFFSETTING

We offset financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet (in accordance with NZ IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation) when there is:

• a current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts in all circumstances; and

• an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

If the above conditions are not met, the financial assets and financial liabilities are presented on a gross basis.

ANZ New Zealand does not have any arrangements that satisfy the conditions necessary to offset financial assets and financial liabilities within the

balance sheet. The following table identifies financial assets and financial liabilities which have not been offset but are subject to enforceable master

netting agreements (or similar arrangements) and the related amounts not offset in the balance sheet. We have not taken into account the effect of

over collateralisation.

Goodwill was assessed for indicators of impairment as at 30 September 2021, taking into account the results of the February 2021 impairment test and

associated sensitivity and scenario analysis performed, the forecast impact of the business segment changes outlined in Note 6 Segment Reporting,

and recent economic events. There were no indicators of impairment therefore, in accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, no further

impairment test was required.

The following information is for the annual goodwill impairment test, and reflects the CGUs and goodwill allocations (which were unchanged from 30

September 2020), as at 28 February 2021.

Annual goodwill impairment test

The annual impairment test is performed as at the end of February each year. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the

relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and its

value-in use (VIU). We use a value-in -use approach to estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated.

Based on this assessment no impairment was identified for any CGU, and therefore a FVLCOD calculation was not required.

19. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)


VALUE-IN-USE

These calculations use cash flow projections based on a number of financial budgets within each CGU covering an initial forecast period. These

projections also incorporate economic assumptions including GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial property prices, the impact

of the restriction imposed by the RBNZ on the payment of ordinary dividends by all New Zealand incorporated registered banks, and the

implementation of the RBNZ’s increased capital requirements. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are extrapolated using the terminal growth rate.

These cash flow projections are discounted using a discount rate derived using a capital asset pricing model.

Future changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential impairment

of part or all of the goodwill balances.

Credit impairment over forecast

period

Varies by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2021 to 2023, before returning to long run experience levels for

2024 to 2028. Long run experience levels are based on ANZ New Zealand’s bad debts written off, net of

recoveries, since 2004 of 0.15% of gross loans and advances. Credit impairment for each CGU as a

percentage of forecast gross loans and advances for 2024 to 2028 is shown below.

Terminal growth rate 2.0% - based on 2023 forecast inflation from the RBNZ’s February 2021 Monetary Policy Statement.

Discount rate

Post tax: 9.4% (September 2020: 9.3%).

The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the ri sk free rate, beta and the market risk

premium. The risk free rate was the traded 10 year New Zealand government bond yield as at 28 February

2021 of 1.9%. The market risk premium was estimated using a range of methods incorporating historical

and forward-looking market data. Beta was consistent with observable measures applied in the regional

banking sector.

The values of the average revenue growth, credit impairment as a percentage of forecast gross loans and advances, and pre-tax discount rates

assumptions by CGU are shown in the table below. The implied pre-tax discount rates are significantly higher than the post-tax discount rate above

because regulatory capital retention over the forecast period is not tax effected.

19. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)














































KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


Management judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life of

an asset, or whether an asset has an indefinite life. We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.

Goodwill

A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired including:

• the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are the ANZ New

Zealand’s revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill.

• determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis of corporate

assets and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated.

• assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported is

based on judgements including the selection of the model and key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount.

The assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU has been made within the context of the ongoing impact of COVID-19, and

reflects expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The rapidly evolving consequences of

COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses create heightened uncertainty in these estimates and any variations could

have a positive or adverse impact on the determination of recoverable amounts.

Provisions for restructuring costs arise from activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by ANZ New Zealand, including

the OnePath Life (NZ) Limited separation, or the manner in which that business is undertaken and include employee termination benefits. Costs

relating to on-going activities are not provided for and are expensed as incurred.

20. OTHER PROVISIONS (continued)
















KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


ANZ New Zealand holds provisions for various obligations including customer remediation, restructuring costs, leasehold make good and

litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the outcome of future events, including estimates of expenditure

required to satisfy such obligations. Where re levant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in light of such advice, provisions and/or

disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made.

In relation to customer remediation, determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the cost

of settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number of

different assumptions, including the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer, the associated remediation costs,

and the implications of regulatory exposures and customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances. Consequently,

the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence

including expert legal advice and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.






RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

ANZ New Zealand recognises provisions where there is a present obligation arising from a past event, an outflow of economic resources is

probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into

account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the timing and amount of the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the estimated

cash flows required to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

ANZ New Zealand’s core capital objectives are to:

• protect the interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders;

• ensure the safety and soundness of ANZ New Zealand’s capital position; and

• ensure that the capital base supports ANZ New Zealand’s risk appetite, and strategic business objectives, in an efficient and effective manner.

Most of ANZ New Zealand’s capital is held in, and managed by, the Banking Group. The Bank’s Board holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring that

capital adequacy of the Banking Group is maintained. This includes: setting, monitoring and obtaining assurance for the Banking Group’s Internal

Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) policy and framework; standardised risk definitions for all material risks; materiality thresholds; capital

adequacy targets; internal risk capital principles; and risk appetite.

The Banking Group has minimum and trigger levels for capital that ensure sufficient capital is maintained to:

• meet minimum prudential requirements imposed by the Bank’s regulators;

• ensure consistency with the Banking Group’s overall risk profile and financial positions, taking into account its strategic focus and business plan;

and

• support the internal risk capital requirements of the business.

ALCO and its related Capital Management Forum are responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining the Banking Group's ICAAP

framework, including ongoing monitoring, reporting and compliance. The Banking Group’s ICAAP is subject to independent and periodic review.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The Ultimate Parent Bank is a registered bank in New Zealand, and conducts business in New Zealand through the NZ Branch. While RBNZ requires

the Ultimate Parent Bank to comply with the minimum capital adequacy requirements as administered by APRA, there are no regulatory capital

requirements that apply specifically to the NZ Branch or ANZ New Zealand.

MANAGED CAPITAL

The Banking Group is subject to its own regulatory capital requirements as administered by RBNZ. The following table provides details of the capital of

ANZ New Zealand which is managed outside the Banking Group.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

ANZ New Zealand subsidiaries are those entities it controls through:

•being exposed to, or having rights to, variable returns from the entity; and

•being able to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

ANZ New Zealand assesses whether it has power over those entities by examining ANZ New Zealand’s existing rights to direct the relevant

activities of the entity.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED - ANZ NEW ZEALAND 2021 DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

24. STRUCTURED ENTITIES

A Structured Entity (SE) is an entity that has been designed such that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the

entity. SEs are generally established with restrictions on their ongoing activities in order to achieve narrow and well defined objectives.

SEs are classified as subsidiaries and consolidated when control exists. If ANZ New Zealand does not control a SE, then it is not consolidated. This note

provides information on both consolidated and unconsolidated SEs.

ANZ New Zealand’s involvement with SEs is as follows:

Type Details

Securitisation

ANZ New Zealand uses the Kingfisher NZ Trust 2008-1 (the Kingfisher Trust) to securitise residential mortgages that

it has originated, in order to diversify sources of funding for liquidity management. The Kingfisher Trust is an

internal securitisation (bankruptcy remote) vehicle we created for the purpose of structuring assets that are eligible

for repurchase under agreements with RBNZ (these are known as ‘Repo eligible’).

ANZ New Zealand is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Kingfisher Trust and has the ability

to affect those returns through its power over the Kingfisher Trust’s activities. The Kingfisher Trust is therefore

consolidated.

As at 30 September 2021, ANZ New Zealand had entered into repurchase agreements with RBNZ in relation to the

TLF and FLP (30 September 2020: nil).

Additionally, ANZ New Zealand may acquire interests in securitisation vehicles set up by third parties through

providing lending facilities to, or holding securities issued by, such entities.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust

(the Covered Bond Trust)

Substantially all of the assets of the Covered Bond Trust are made up of certain housing loans and related

securities originated by the Bank which are security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited as

trustee of the Covered Bond Trust of issuances of covered bonds by the Bank, or its wholly owned subsidiary ANZ

New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, from time to time. The assets of the Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditors

of the Bank, although the Bank (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against the residual assets

of the Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all prior ranking creditors of the Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.

ANZ New Zealand is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the Covered Bond Trust and has the

ability to affect those returns through its power over the Covered Bond Trust’s activities. The Covered Bond Trust is

therefore consolidated.

Structured finance

arrangements


ANZ New Zealand is involved with SEs established:

• in connection with structured lending transactions to facilitate debt syndication and/or to ring-fence

collateral; and

• to own assets that are leased to customers in structured leasing transactions.

ANZ New Zealand may provide risk management products (derivatives) to the SE.

In all instances, ANZ New Zealand does not control these SEs. Further, ANZ New Zealand’s involvement does not

establish more than a passive interest in decisions about the relevant activities of the SE, and accordingly we do

not consider that interest disclosable.

Funds management activities

ANZ New Zealand is the scheme manager for a number of Managed Investment Schemes (MIS). These MIS include

the ANZ and OneAnswer branded KiwiSaver, retail and wholesale schemes and the Bonus Bonds Scheme. These

MIS are financed through the issue of units to investors and ANZ New Zealand considers them to be SEs. ANZ New

Zealand’s interests in these MIS are limited to receiving fees for services or providing risk management products

(derivatives). These interests do not create significant exposures to the MIS that would allow ANZ New Zealand to

control the funds. Therefore, these MIS are not consolidated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




63

24. STRUCTURED ENTITIES (continued)

CONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

Financial or other support provided to Consolidated Structured Entities

The Bank provides lending facilities, derivatives and commitments to the Kingfisher Trust and the Covered Bond Trust and/or holds debt instruments

that they have issued. The Bank did not provide any non-contractual support to consolidated SEs during the year (2020: nil).

UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

ANZ New Zealand’s interest in Unconsolidated Structured Entities

An ‘interest’ in an unconsolidated SE is any form of contractual or non-contractual involvement with a SE that exposes ANZ New Zealand to variability

of returns from the performance of that SE. These interests include, but are not limited to: holdings of debt or equity securities; derivatives that pass on

risks specific to the performance of the SE; lending; loan commitments; financial guarantees; and fees from funds management activities.

For the purpose of disclosing interests in unconsolidated SEs:

• no disclosure is made if ANZ New Zealand’s involvement is not more than a passive interest - for example: when ANZ New Zealand’s

involvement constitutes a typical customer-supplier relationship. On this basis, exposures to unconsolidated SEs that arise from lending, trading

and investing activities are not considered disclosable interests - unless the design of the structured entity allows ANZ New Zealand to

participate in decisions about the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns).

• ‘interests’ do not include derivatives intended to expose ANZ New Zealand to market risk (rather than performance risk specific to the SE) or

derivatives through which ANZ New Zealand creates, rather than absorbs, variability of the unconsolidated SE (such as purchase of credit

protection under a credit default swap).

ANZ New Zealand earned funds management fees from its MIS of NZ$205 million (2020: NZ$197 million) during the year. As at 30 September 2021

ANZ New Zealand had total funds under management of NZ$39.0 billion (2020: NZ$35.2 billion) of which NZ$23.2 billion (2020: NZ$21.2 billion)

related to its MIS, with the largest individual fund being approximately NZ$4.3 billion (2020: NZ$3.5 billion).

ANZ New Zealand did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2020: nil): nor does it have any current

intention to provide financial or other support to unconsolidated SEs.

SPONSORED UNCONSOLIDATED STRUCTURED ENTITIES

ANZ New Zealand may also sponsor unconsolidated SEs in which it has no disclosable interest.

For the purposes of this disclosure, ANZ New Zealand considers itself the ‘sponsor’ of an unconsolidated SE if it is the primary party involved in the

design and establishment of that SE and:

• ANZ New Zealand is the major user of that SE; or

• ANZ New Zealand’s name appears in the name of that SE, or on its products; or

• ANZ New Zealand provides implicit or explicit guarantees of that SE’s performance.

The Bank has sponsored the ANZ PIE Fund, which invests only in deposits with the Bank. ANZ New Zealand does not provide any implicit or explicit

guarantees of the capital value or performance of investments in the ANZ PIE Fund. There was no income received from, nor assets transferred to, this

entity during the year.






KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES


Significant judgement is required in assessing whether ANZ New Zealand has control over Structured Entities. Judgement is required to

determine the existence of:

• power over th e relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); and

• exposure to variable returns of that entity; and

• the ability to use its power over the entity to affect ANZ New Zealand’s returns.

25. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

In the normal course of business ANZ New Zealand enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets directly to third parties. These transfers

may give rise to ANZ New Zealand fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on ANZ New Zealand’s exposure to the risks and

rewards or control over the transferred assets. If ANZ New Zealand retains substantially all of the risk and rewards of a transferred asset, the transfer

does not qualify for derecognition and the asset remains on ANZ New Zealand’s balance sheet in its entirety.

Covered bonds

ANZ New Zealand operates a covered bond programme to raise funding. Refer to Note 24 Structured Entities for further details. The covered bonds

issued externally are included within debt issuances.

Repurchase agreements

When ANZ New Zealand sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which we retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership,

then those assets do not qualify for derecognition. An associated lia bility is recognised for the consideration received from the counterparty.

The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities:

Loans made to KMP and their related parties are made in the ordinary course of business on normal commercial terms and conditions no more

favourable than those given to other employees or customers, including the term of the loan, security required and the interest rate. No amounts

have been written off or forgiven, or individually assessed allowances for expected credit losses raised in respect of these balances (2020: nil).

All other transactions with KMP and their related parties are made on terms and conditions no more favourable than those given to other employees

or customers. These transactions generally involve the provision of financial and investment services. In addition to the amounts above:

• Aggregate amounts for each of unsecured loans and advances, interest expense, fee income, debt issuances and collectively assessed credit

impairment charge and allowance for expected credit losses were less than NZ$1 million for both years presented.

• KMP and their related parties also hold units in MIS managed by ANZ New Zealand. Transactions and balances in respect of these MIS holdings

are not disclosed because those MIS are unconsolidated structured entities and not included in the financial statements of ANZ New Zealand.

• Some KMP pay ANZ New Zealand for the use of carparks in premises owned or leased by ANZ New Zealand. These amounts were less than

NZ$0.1 million (2020: less than NZ$0.1 million).

Transactions with other members of the Overseas Banking Group and associates

The NZ Branch and ANZ New Zealand undertake transactions with the Immediate Parent Company, the Ultimate Parent Bank, other members of the

Overseas Banking Group and associates.

These transactions principally consist of funding and hedging transactions, the provision of other financial and investment services, technology and

process support, and compensation for share based payments made to ANZ New Zealand employees. Other than noted on the following page,

transactions with related parties outside of ANZ New Zealand are conducted on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms.

UNDRAWN FACILITIES

The majority of undrawn facilities are subject to customers maintaining specific credit and other requirements or conditions. Many of these facilities

are expected to be only partially used, and others may never be used at all. As such, the total of the nominal principal amounts is not necessarily

representative of future liquidity risks or future cash requirements. Based on the earliest date on which ANZ New Zealand may be required to pay, the

full amount of undrawn facilities mature within 12 months.

GUARANTEES, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND PERFORMANCE RELATED CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees, letters of credit and performance related contingencies relate to transactions that ANZ New Zealand has entered into as principal –

including: guarantees, standby letters of credit and documentary letters of credit.

Documentary letters of credit involve ANZ New Zealand issuing letters of credit guaranteeing payment in favour of an exporter. They are secured

against an underlying shipment of goods or backed by a confirmatory letter of credit from another bank.

Performance related contingencies are liabilities that oblige ANZ New Zealand to make payments to a third party if the customer fails to fulfil its non-

monetary obligations under the contract.

To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, we apply the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements that we

apply to loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that we could lose if the counterparty fails to meet its financial

obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. Based

on the earliest date on which ANZ New Zealand may be required to pay, the full amount of total guarantees and letters of credit and performance

related contingencies mature within 12 months.

27. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against ANZ New Zealand. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been

obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions (refer to Note 20 Other Provisions) and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In

some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because

such disclosure may prejudice seriously the interests of ANZ New Zealand.

REGULATORY AND CUSTOMER EXPOSURES

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which ANZ New Zealand engages with its regulators. There have also been

significant increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations, surveillance and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement actions (whether by

court action or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly

against financial institutions both in New Zealand and globally. ANZ New Zealand has received various notices and requests for information from its

regulators as part of both industry-wide and ANZ New Zealand-specific reviews, and has also made disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.

The nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, may include a range of matters including responsible lending practices,

regulated lending requirements, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation,

wealth advice, insurance distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-

money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation. There

may be exposures to customers which are additional to any regulatory exposures.

These could include class actions, individual claims or customer

remediation or compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.

The Bank self-identified three prescribed transaction reporting (PTR) matters to the RBNZ, where transaction reports had not been filed within the

prescribed timeframe. The RBNZ has informed the Bank that it considers one of these matters (related to 6,409 transaction reports of a certain SWIFT

message type) to be a material breach, and the other two to be minor breaches, of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism

(AML/CFT) Act 2009 relating to PTR. These matters have been referred to the RBNZ’s enforcement team for review. The potential outcome of these

matters remains uncertain at this time.

LOAN INFORMATION LITIGATION

In September 2021, a representative proceeding was brought against the Bank, alleging breaches of disclosure requirements under consumer credit

legislation in respect of variation letters sent to certain loan customers. The Bank is defending the allegations.

WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES

ANZ New Zealand has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the purchaser in connection with various disposals of

businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties,

indemnities and commitments.

REVIEWS UNDER SECTION 95 OF THE RESERVE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND ACT 1989 (RBNZ ACT)

Following a RBNZ notice under section 95 of the RBNZ Act in July 2019, the Bank obtained two external reviews (together, the Reviews). The first review

was on the Bank’s compliance with certain aspects of the RBNZ Banking Supervision Handbook document Capital Adequacy Framework (Internal

Models Based Approach) (BS2B) (Capital Adequacy Review), and the second review was on the effectiveness of the Bank’s directors’ attestation and

assurance framework (Attestation Review).

The Bank is committed to implementing the recommendations and addressing the issues raised by the Reviews, including a broader programme of

improving the Bank's processes covered by those Reviews.

In mid-2021, the Bank obtained external interim reviews of the remediation activities being undertaken in re spect of the Reviews. The external

reviewer reported that the Bank has made significant progress to address non-compliance issues and improvement areas identified by the Reviews.

The programme of work for the Attestation Review has been completed. The final external review of the remediation activities for the Attestation

Review is expected to be completed in December 2021.

The programme of work for the Capital Adequacy Review is expected to be completed in December 2021. The final external review of the remediation

activities for the Capital Adequacy Review is underway.

ANZ New Zealand’s Policy allows KPMG New Zealand to provide assurance and other audit related services that, while outside the scope of the

statutory audit, are consistent with the role of an external auditor. These include regulatory and prudential reviews requested by regulators such as

RBNZ. Any other services that are not audit or audit-related services are non-audit services. The Policy allows certain non-audit services to be provided

where the service would not contravene auditor independence requirements. KPMG New Zealand may not provide services that are perceived to be

in conflict with the role of the external auditor or breach auditor independence. These include consulting advice and subcontracting of operational

activities normally undertaken by management, and engagements where the external auditor may ultimately be required to express an opinion on its

own work.

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED)

Details of registered bank, ultimate parent bank and ultimate holding company

The registered bank, which is also the ultimate parent bank and ultimate parent holding company, is Australia and New Zealand Banking Group

Limited (Ultimate Parent Bank). The principal office and place of business outside New Zealand, and address for service of the Ultimate Parent Bank, is

ANZ Centre, Melbourne, Level 9, 833 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria 3008, Australia.

Subordination of claims of creditors

Certain creditors of the Ultimate Parent Bank are given a statutory priority under Australian law. Unsecured creditors of the NZ Branch could be

expected to rank behind such claims.

Specifically, pursuant to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act of the Commonwealth of Australia (the Banking Act), if an Authorised Deposit-Taking

Institution (ADI) (which includes the Ultimate Parent Bank) becomes unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment, the assets of the ADI in

Australia are to be available to meet the ADI's liabilities in the following order:

(a) first, the ADI's liabilities (if any) to APRA because of the rights APRA has against the ADI because of section 16AI or 16AIC of the Banking Act;

(b) second, the ADI's debts (if any) to APRA under section 16AO of the Banking Act;

(c) third, the ADI's liabilities (if any) in Australia in relation to protected accounts that account-holders keep with the ADI. Broadly, this means

accounts (including deposit accounts) kept with the Ultimate Parent Bank that are situated in Australia and recorded in Australian dollars;

(d) fourth, the ADI’s debts (if any) to the Reserve Bank of Australia;

(e) fifth, the ADI’s liabilities (if any) under an industry support contract that is certified by APRA under section 11CB of the Banking Act; and

(f) sixth, the ADI's other liabilities in the order of their priority (apart from subsection 13A(3)).

Unsecured creditors of the NZ Branch could be expected to rank as a creditor pursuant to the sixth paragraph, together with other unsecured

creditors of the Ultimate Parent Bank that do not otherwise have a priority claim under preceding paragraphs.

Subsections 16(1) and (2) of the Banking Act provide that, despite anything contained in any law relating to the winding-up of companies, but subject

to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act, the debts of an ADI to APRA in respect of APRA's costs (including costs in the nature of remuneration and

expenses) of being in control of the ADI's business, or of having an administrator in control of the ADI's business, are a debt due to APRA and have

priority in a winding-up of the ADI over all other unsecured debts.

Section 86 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia provides that notwithstanding anything contained in any law relating to

the winding-up of companies, but subject to subsection 13A(3) of the Banking Act, debts due to the Reserve Bank of Australia by any ADI shall, in a

winding-up, have priority over all other debts.

This description of the liabilities which are mandatorily preferred by law is not exhaustive.

These provisions affect all of the unsecured liabilities of the NZ Branch, which as at 30 September 2021, amounted to NZ$1,048m (2020: NZ$1,076m).

Requirement to maintain sufficient assets to cover ongoing obligation to pay deposit liabilities

Subsection 13A(4) of the Banking Act states that it is an offence for an ADI not to hold assets (excluding goodwill and any assets or other amount

excluded by the prudential standards for the purposes of that subsection) in Australia of a value that is equal to or greater than the total amount of its

deposit liabilities in Australia, unless APRA has authorised the ADI to hold assets of a lesser value. This requirement has the potential to impact on the

management of the liquidity of the NZ Branch.

APRA’s powers

The Ultimate Parent Bank is subject to extensive prudential regulation by APRA.

The Banking Act requires APRA to exercise its powers and functions for the protection of the depositors of Australian ADIs and for the promotion of

financial system stability in Australia.

Where APRA considers that an ADI may become unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment (among other circumstances), APRA can take

control of the ADI's business (including by appointment of an ADI statutory manager). APRA also has power to direct the ADI not to make payments in

respect of its indebtedness and to compulsorily transfer some or all of the ADI’s assets and liabilities to another ADI in certain circumstances and to

increase its capital in specified circumstances. A counterparty to a contract with an ADI cannot rely solely on the fact that an ADI statutory manager is

in control of the ADI's business or on the making of a direction or compulsory transfer order as a basis for denying any obligations to the ADI or for

accelerating any debt under that contract or closing out any transaction relating to that contract.

The Financial Sector Legislation Amendment (Crisis Resolution Powers and Other Measures) Act 2018 (the Crisis Management Act) amended the

Banking Act (among other statutes applicable to financial institutions in Australia) and was intended to enhance APRA’s powers. Specifically, the Crisis

Management Act enhanced APRA’s powers to facilitate resolution of the entities it regulates (and their subsidiaries) in times of distress. Additional

powers which could impact the Overseas Banking Group include greater oversight, management and directions powers in relation to the Ultimate

Parent Bank and other Overseas Banking Group entities which were previously not regulated by APRA, increased statutory management powers over

regulated entities within the Overseas Banking Group and changes which are designed to give statutory recognition to the conversion or write-off of

regulatory capital instruments.

The requirements of the Banking Act and the exercise by APRA of its powers have the potential to impact the management of the liquidity of ANZ

New Zealand.

REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support

Effect of APRA’s Prudential Standards

APRA Prudential Standard APS 222 Associations with Related Entities (APS222) sets minimum requirements for ADIs in Australia, including the Ultimate

Parent Bank, in relation to the monitoring, management and control of risks which arise from associations with related entities and also includes

maximum limits on intra-group financial exposures.

Under APS222, the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial support to the Bank is subject to the following restrictions:

• the Ultimate Parent Bank should not undertake any third party dealings with the prime purpose of supporting the business of the Bank;

• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not hold unlimited exposures (i.e. should be limited as to specified time or amount) in the Bank (e.g. not provide

a general guarantee covering any of the Bank’s obligations);

• the Ultimate Parent Bank must not enter into cross-default clauses whereby a default by the Bank on an obligation (whether financial or

otherwise) triggers or is deemed to trigger a default by the Ultimate Parent Bank on its obligations; and

• the level of exposure, net of exposures deducted from capital, of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 total capital base to the Bank should not

exceed: (A) 50% on an individual exposure basis; or (B) 150% in aggregate (being exposures to all similar regulated ADI equivalent entities

related to the Ultimate Parent Bank).

In December 2020, APRA amended APS222 to reduce the limits for Australian ADIs’ individual entity exposure to related ADIs (or overseas equivalents)

from 50% of Level 1 total capital to 25% of Level 1 Tier 1 capital, and aggregate exposures from 150% of Level 1 total capital to 75% of Level 1 Tier 1

capital. These changes are effective from 1 January 2022. As exposures are measured net of capital deductions, the changes to APS111 Capital

Adequacy: Measurement of Capital (APS111) outlined below will affect the measurement of ADI exposures.

In September 2021, APRA amended APS111. The most material change is in relation to the treatment of capital investments for each banking and

insurance subsidiary at Level 1, with the tangible component of the investment changing from a 400% risk weighting to:

• 250% risk weighting up to an amount equal to 10% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s net Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital; and

• the remainder of the investment will be treated as a CET1 capital deduction.

Until the new APS111 is implemented from 1 January 2022, APRA requires any new or additional equity investments in banking and insurance

subsidiaries, where the amount of that new or additional investments takes the aggregate value of the investment above 10 per cent of an ADI’s CET1

capital, to be fully funded by equity capital at the ADI parent company level. This treatment would apply to the proportion of the new or additional

investment that is above 10 per cent of an ADI’s CET1 capital.

The Ultimate Parent Bank continues to review the implications for its current investments. The net impact on the Overseas Banking Group is unclear

and will depend upon a number of factors including the capitalisation of the affected subsidiaries at the time of implementation, and the effect of

management actions being pursued that have the potential to materially offset the impact of these proposals. Based on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s

current investment as at 30 September 2021 in its affected subsidiaries and in the absence of any offsetting management actions, the above proposals

imply a reduction in the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 CET1 capital of up to approximately AUD 2 billion (~60 basis points). There would be no impact

on the Overseas Banking Group's Level 2 CET1 capital ratio arising from these proposed changes. In addition, since 1 January 2021, no more than 5%

of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital base can comprise non-equity exposures to its New Zealand operations (including its subsidiaries

incorporated in New Zealand, such as the Banking Group, and the New Zealand Branch) during ordinary times. This limit does not include holdings of

capital instruments or eligible secured

contingent funding support provided to the Bank during times of financial stress.

APRA has also confirmed that contingent funding support by the Ultimate Parent Bank to the Bank during times of financial stress must be provided

on terms that are acceptable to APRA. At present, only covered bonds meet APRA’s criteria for contingent funding.

Effect of the Level 3 framework

In addition, certain requirements of APRA’s Level 3 framework relating to, among other things, group governance and risk exposures became effective

on 1 July 2017. This framework also re quires that the Ultimate Parent Bank must limit its financial and operational exposures to subsidiaries (including

the Bank).

In determining the acceptable level of exposure to a subsidiary, the Board of the Ultimate Parent Bank should have regard to:

• the exposures that would be approved for third parties of broadly equivalent credit status;

• the potential impact on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s capital and liquidity positions; and

• the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to continue operating in the event of a failure by the Bank.

These requirements are not expected to place additional restrictions on the Ultimate Parent Bank’s ability to provide financial or operational support

to the Bank.

Other APRA powers

The Ultimate Parent Bank may not provide financial support in breach of the Banking Act, as described under ‘APRA’s powers’ above.

Guarantees

No material obligations of the NZ Branch are guaranteed as at 10 November 2021.

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)

Policy of the board of directors for avoiding or dealing with conflicts of interest

The Board of the Ultimate Parent Bank has adopted procedures to ensure that conflicts and potential conflicts of interest between a Director’s duties

to the Ultimate Parent Bank and their own interests are avoided or dealt with. Pursuant to these procedures:

• each Director should disclose to all Directors any material personal interest they have in any matter which relates to the affairs of the Ultimate

Parent Bank and any other interest which the Director believes is appropriate to disclose in order to avoid an actual conflict of interest or the

perception of a conflict of interest. This disclosure should be made as soon as practicable after the Director becomes aware of their interest or

the need to make a disclosure.

• any Director who has an interest of the type referred to above in a matter that is to be considered at a Directors' meeting, must not vote on the

matter nor be present while the matter is considered at the meeting, unless a majority of Directors who do not have such an interest in the

matter agree that the interest should not disqualify such Director from being present while the matter is being considered and from voting on

the matter. The minutes of the meeting should record the decision taken by the Directors who do not have an interest in the matter.

In addition, Standing Notices about Interests are maintained for each Director. If the Director's interests change, the Director shall disclose the change

as soon as practicable and an updated Standing Notice shall be tabled at the next Board meeting and recorded in the minutes of that meeting.

Other material matters

New RBNZ capital requirements

The RBNZ has released new bank capital adequacy requirements applying to New Zealand locally incorporated registered banks, which are set out in

the RBNZ’s Banking Prudential Requirements documents. The new capital adequacy requirements are being implemented in stages during a

transition period from October 2021 to July 2028. The key requirements are:

• The Banking Group’s total capital requirement will increase to 18% of RWA, including tier 1 capital of at least 16% of RWA. Up to 2.5% of the tier 1

capital requirement can be made up of additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, with the re mainder of the tier 1 requirement made up of common equity

tier 1 (CET1) capital. The increased capital ratios requirement will be implemented progressively from 1 July 2022 to 1 July 2028. AT1 capital must

consist of perpetual preference shares, which may be redeemable. The total capital requirement can also include tier 2 capital of up to 2% of

RWA. Tier 2 capital must consist of long-term subordinated debt.

• The tier 1 capital requirement will include a CET1 prudential capital buffer of 9% of RWA. This will include: a 2% domestic, systemically important

bank capital buffer; a 1.5% 'early-set' counter-cyclical capital buffer, which can be temporarily reduced to 0% following a financial crisis, or

temporarily increased to prevent asset price bubbles from developing; and a 5.5% capital conservation buffer.

• Contingent capital instruments will no longer be treated as eligible regulatory capital. As at 30 September 2021, the Bank had approximately

NZ$2,741 million of AT1 instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over a six and a half year transition period

from 1 January 2022 to 1 July 2028.

• As an internal ratings based approach accredited bank, the Banking Group’s RWA outcomes will be increased to approximately 90% of what

would be calculated under the standardised approach. This will be achieved by applying an 85% output floor from 1 January 2022, and

increasing the credit RWA scalar from 1.06 to 1.20 from 1 October 2022.

• The Banking Group will be required to report RWA, and resulting capital ratios, using both the internal models and the standardised approaches

from 30 September 2022.

The RBNZ’s reforms will result in a material increase in the level of capital that the Banking Group is required to hold. The reforms could have a material

impact on the Banking Group and its business, including on its capital allocation and business planning.

Since 30 September 2018, the Banking Group’s CET1 capital has increased by NZ$3.9 billion to NZ$13.0 billion at 30 September 2021 and total capital

has increased by NZ$4.5 billion to NZ$16.4 billion, in preparation for these changes and due to the RBNZ’s COVID-19 related dividend restrictions.

decrease in loss allowances was driven by a decrease in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in the forward-looking

economic scenarios as described in Note 12 Allowance for Expected Credit Losses.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

Information about risk

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact our operating environment. Our Risk Management Framework has underpinned our response

during this challenging time and has enabled us to maintain sound risk management practices.

The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZ New Zealand’s Risk Management Framework (RMF), which is

supported by ANZ New Zealand’s underlying systems, structures, policies, procedures, processes and people. The Board has delegated

authority to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with ANZ New Zealand’s risk management policies.

The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities. The key pillars of ANZ New Zealand’s RMF include:

• The Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes ANZ New Zealand’s strategy for managing risks arising from ANZ New

Zealand’s purpose and strategy and the key elements of the RMF that give effect to that strategy. The RMS includes: how the risk

function is structured to support ANZ New Zealand’s purpose and strategy; the values, attitudes and behaviours required of

employees in delivering on strategic priorities; a description of each material risk; and an overview of how the RMF addresses each

risk, with reference to the relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how ANZ New Zealand

identifies, measures, evaluates, monitors, reports and then either controls or mitigates material risks.

• The Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding, for each material risk, the maximum level of

risk ANZ New Zealand is willing to accept in pursuing its strategic objectives and its operating plans considering its stakeholders’,

depositors’ and customers’ interests.

• Risk Culture, an important component of ANZ New Zealand’s organizational culture and an intrinsic part of ANZ New Zealand’s RMF.


The material risks facing ANZ New Zealand per our RMS, and how these risks are managed, are summarised below.

Key Material Risks

Each key material risk has an associated RAS component, and where applicable, is measured by appropriate metric(s) and associated tolerance(s)

representing the maximum level of risk appropriate to execute ANZ New Zealand’s strategic agenda. Metrics are prepared and reviewed at least

monthly. A risk appetite dashboard is prepared and reviewed by senior management monthly, and presented to the BRC at each meeting.


Risk Type Description Managing the Risk

Strategic

Risk

Risks that affect or are created by an organisation’s business

strategy and strategic objectives. A possible source of loss

might arise from the pursuit of an unsuccessful business

plan. For example, Strategic risk might arise from making

poor strategic business decisions, from the sub-standard

execution of decisions, or from a failure to respond well to

changes in a business environment.

We consider and manage strategic risks through our annual strategic

planning process, managed by the Executive Committee and

approved by the Board. Where the strategy leads to an increase in

Key Material Risks (e.g. Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk) the

risk management strategies associated with these risks form the

primary controls.

Capital

Adequacy

Risk

The risk of loss arising from ANZ New Zealand failing to

maintain the level of capital required by prudential

regulators and other key stakeholders (shareholders, debt

investors, depositors, rating agencies, etc.) to support ANZ

New Zealand’s consolidated operations and risk appetite.

We pursue an active approach to Capital Management, which is

designed to protect the interests of depositors, creditors and

stakeholders through ongoing review, and Board approval, of the

level and composition of our capital base against key policy

objectives. The ICAAP also operates as part of the management

framework for this risk.

Credit

Risk

The risk of financial loss resulting from a counterparty failing

to fulfil its obligations, or from a decrease in credit quality of

a counterparty resulting in a financial loss.

Credit Risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending

to customers who could be impacted by climate change or

by changes to laws, regulations, or other policies adopted

by governments or regulatory authorities, including carbon

pricing and climate change adaptation or mitigation

policies.

Includes:

• concentrations of credit risk;

• intra-day credit risk;

• credit risk to bank counterparties; and

• related party credit risk.

Our Credit Risk framework is top down, being defined by credit

principles and policies. Credit policies, requirements and procedures

cover all aspects of the credit life cycle from initial approval and risk

grading, through ongoing management and problem debt

management.


The effectiveness of the Credit Risk framework is assessed through

various compliance and monitoring processes. These, together with

portfolio selection, define and guide the credit process, organisation

and staff.

Liquidity

and

Funding

Risk

The risk that the Banking Group is unable to meet its

payment obligations as they fall due, including:

• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or

• ANZ New Zealand having insufficient capacity to fund

increases in assets.

Key principles in managing our Liquidity and Funding Risk include:

• ANZ New Zealand’s short term liquidity scenario modelling

stresses cash flow projections against multiple survival horizons

over which ANZ New Zealand is required to remain cash flow

positive; and

• Longer-term scenarios are in place that measure the structural

liquidity position of the balance sheet.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (continued)

Risk Type Description Managing the Risk

Market

Risk

The risk to ANZ New Zealand’s earnings arising from:

• changes in any interest rates, foreign exchange rates,

credit spreads, volatility, and correlations; or

• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

We have a detailed risk management and control framework to

support our trading and balance sheet activities, which

incorporates an independent risk measurement approach to

quantify the magnitude of market risk within the trading and

balance sheet portfolios. This approach, along with related analysis,

identifies the range of possible outcomes, that can be expected

over a given period of time, and establishes the likelihood of those

outcomes and allocates an appropriate amount of capital to

support these activities.

ANZ New Zealand’s key tools to measure and manage Market Risk

on a daily basis include value at risk, earnings at risk, interest rate

sensitivities, market value loss limits and stress testing.

Operational

Risk

The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with laws resulting

from inadequate or failed internal processes, people

and/or systems, or from external events. This definition

includes legal risk, and the risk of reputation loss, or

damage arising from inadequate or failed internal

processes, people and/or systems; but excludes strategic

risk.

ANZ New Zealand foundational operational risk policy is the

Operational Risk Approach. The Operational Risk Approach and its

supporting requirements includes management and

measurement of operational risks and compliance with laws,

regulations, industry standards, codes and principles of good

governance, and in ternal policies and procedures. ANZ New

Zealand takes a risk-based approach to the management of

operational risk and obligations. This enables ANZ New Zealand to

be consistent in proactively identifying, assessing, managing,

reporting and escalating operational risk-related risk exposures.


Compliance Risk

The risk of failure to act in accordance with laws,

regulations, industry standards and codes, internal policies

and procedures and principles of good governance as

applicable to ANZ New Zealand’s businesses.


Key features of how we manage Compliance Risk as part of our

Operational Risk and Compliance Framework include:

• centralised management of key obligations, and emphasis on

identification of changing regulations and the business

environment, to enable proactive assessment of emerging

compliance risk; and

• recognition of incident management as a separate element to

enhance ANZ New Zealand’s ability to identify, manage and

report on incidents/breaches in a timely manner.


Conduct Risk

The risk of loss or damage arising from the failure of ANZ

New Zealand, its employees or agents to appropriately

consider the interests of customers, the integrity of the

financial markets and the expectations of the community

in conducting its business activities. The risk may arise not

only from deliberate or negligent actions of individual

employees, but may also be inadvertent and caused by

inadequacies in ANZ New Zealand’s systems, processes

and procedures.

Our approach to managing Conduct Risk is to seek to ensure that

risks to customers, community and market integrity are identified,

assessed, treated, monitored and reported in a structured

environment with appropriate governance oversight.



Technology Risk

The risk of loss and/or non-compliance with laws from

inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems

that deliver technology assets and services to customers

and staff. This risk includes technology assets and services

delivered or managed by third parties, and external events.

The risk specifically in cludes information security and cyber

security and how information held by ANZ New Zealand

needs to be protected from inappropriate modification,

loss, disclosure and unavailability.

Our approach to managing Technology Risk is to manage our

operational risks caused by the use of technology, including risks

associated with cyber security and third party providers, in a

manner that seeks to ensure customer information is secure and

service disruption is within acceptable levels.

Refer to Note 15 Financial Risk Management for the disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (continued)

Other Material Risks

Other Material Risks do not require the same degree of active or transactional management as the Key Material Risks and are managed and monitored

as part of ANZ New Zealand’s business, strategic and capital management process. The maximum level of risk is set as part of the Banking Group’s

ICAAP. Refer to Note 22 Capital Management for more information about the Banking Group’s ICAAP.

Pension

Risk

The risk of the value of investments in a defined benefit pension fund being insufficient to meet liabilities, resulting in additional

funds being required to match pension liabilities.

Strategic

Equity Risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the unexpected reduction in value of ANZ New Zealand equity investments not held in the

trading book, including ANZ New Zealand’s joint ventures and associates.

Fixed Asset

Risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the negative revaluation of fixed assets owned and leased by ANZ New Zealand, caused by

adverse changes in business and/or economic conditions. Residual Value Risk is included in the definition of Fixed Assets, which is

the risk that the market value of the underlying assets of operating leases may fall below the anticipated residual value.

Deferred

Acquisition

Costs Risk

The risk of loss arising from the failure of the benefits associated with the acquisition of interest earning assets to arise due to

impairment, transfer, or prepayment.

Software

Risk

The risk of financial loss arising from the unexpected accelerated write down of capitalised software expenditure due to diminished

future economic benefits caused by adverse business or economic conditions.

Goodwill

Risk

The risk of financial loss caused by the reduction in the net carrying value of acquired business resulting from lower than expected

future economic benefits due to adverse business and economic conditions.

Key changes in the assessment of audit risks

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an unprecedented and ongoing impact on global markets and the local economy, with effects on ANZ

New Zealand’s customers, operations and performance. There is an elevated level of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the consolidated

financial statements, where certain accounting estimates are based on forecasts of economic conditions and forward-looking assumptions. There is a

considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and

associated uncertainties are predominantly related to the “Allowance for Expected Credit Losses” and the “Carrying Value of Goodwill”, both detailed

below. The elevated level of estimation uncertainty in these areas has informed our assessment of a continued and heightened underlying audit risk in

these areas and an increase in the extent and nature of audit evidence that we had to gather.

ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ($707 MILLION)

Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in relation to the allowance for expected credit losses in Note 12 to the Consolidated

Financial Statements.

The key audit matter

Allowance for expected credit losses is a key audit matter due to the significance of the loans and advances balance to the consolidated financial

statements and the inherent complexity of ANZ New Zealand’s Expected Credit Loss (ECL) models used to measure ECL allowances. These models are

reliant on data and a number of estimates including impacts of multiple economic scenarios, and other assumptions such as defining a Significant

Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) which in a COVID-19 environment have greater uncertainties.

NZ IFRS 9 requires ANZ New Zealand to measure ECL on a forward-looking basis reflecting a ra nge of future economic conditions, of which GDP and

unemployment levels are considered key assumptions. Post-model adjustments to the ECL results are also made by ANZ New Zealand to address

known ECL model limitations or emerging trends in the loan portfolios. We exercise significant judgement in challenging both the economic

scenarios used and the judgemental overlays that ANZ New Zealand applies to the ECL results.

ANZ New Zealand’s criteria selected to identify a SICR, such as a decrease in customer credit rating (CCR), are key areas of judgement within ANZ New

Zealand’s ECL methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 12 month or lifetime allowance is recorded.

The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that assumptions regarding the economic outlook are more uncertain which, combined with varying

government responses, increases the level of judgement required by ANZ New Zealand in calculating the ECL, and the associated audit risk.


Additionally, the determination of an allowance for individually assessed impairment on Business and Institutional (wholesale) loans requires

significant judgement in estimating the expected future cash repayments and proceeds from the value of the collateral held in respect of the loans.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures for the allowance for ECL and disclosures included assessing ANZ New Zealand’s significant accounting policies against the

requirements of the accounting standard. KPMG Financial Risk Management and Economic specialists were used in ECL audit procedures as a core

part of our audit team.

We tested key controls in relation to:

• ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model governance and validation processes which involved assessment of model performance;

• ANZ New Zealand’s assessment and approval of the forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenario weightings through challenge

applied by ANZ New Zealand’s internal governance processes;

• Reconciliation of the data used in the ECL calculation process to gross balances recorded within the general ledger as well as source systems;

• Counterparty risk grading for wholesale loans (larger customer exposures are monitored individually). We tested the approval of new lending

facilities against ANZ New Zealand’s lending policies, and controls over the monitoring of counterparty credit quality; and

• ANZ New Zealand’s oversight of the portfolios, with a focus on controls over delinquency monitoring.

We also tested relevant General Information Technology Controls over the key IT applications used by ANZ New Zealand in measuring ECL

allowances, as detailed in the IT Systems and Controls key audit matter below.

In addition to controls testing, our procedures included:

• Re-performing credit assessments of a sample of wholesale loans controlled by ANZ New Zealand’s specialist workout and recovery team, who

assessed these as higher risk or impaired, and a sample of other loans, focusing on larger exposures assessed by ANZ New Zealand as showing

signs of deterioration, or in areas of emerging risk (assessed against external market conditions and in particular considered the impacts of

COVID-19). For each loan sampled, we challenged ANZ New Zealand’s CCR and Security Indicator, assessment of loan recoverability, valuation of

security and the impact on the credit allowance. To do this, we reviewed the information on ANZ New Zealand’s loan file, understood the facts

and circumstances of the case with the relationship manager, and performed our own assessment of recoverability. Exercising our judgement,

our procedures included using our understanding of relevant industries and the macroeconomic environment, and comparing data and

assumptions used by ANZ New Zealand in recoverability assessments to externally sourced evidence, such external property sale information;

• Obtaining an understanding of ANZ New Zealand’s processes to determine ECL allowances, evaluating ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model

methodologies against established market practices and criteria in the accounting standards;

• Working with KPMG Financial Risk Management specialists, we assessed the accuracy of ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model estimates by re -

performing, for a sample of loans, the ECL allowance using our independently driven calculation tools and comparing this to the amount

recorded by ANZ New Zealand;

• Working with our KPMG Economic specialists, we challenged ANZ New Zealand’s forward-looking macroeconomic assumptions and scenarios

incorporated in ANZ New Zealand’s ECL models. We compared ANZ New Zealand’s forecast GDP and unemployment rates, to relevant publicly

available macro-economic information, and considered other known variables and information obtained through our other audit procedures to

identify contradictory indicators;

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT




91

• Testing ANZ New Zealand’s SICR methodology by re -performing the staging calculation for a sample of loans taking into consideration

movements in the CCR from loan origination CCR and comparing our expectation to actual staging applied on an individual account level in

ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model; and

• Assessing the accuracy of the data used in the ECL models by confirming a sample of data fields such as account balance and CCR to relevant

source systems.

We also challenged key assumptions in the components of ANZ New Zealand’s post-model adjustments to the ECL allowance balance. This included:

• Assessing the requirement for additional allowances considering ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model and data deficiencies identified by ANZ New

Zealand’s ECL model validation processes, particularly in light of the extreme volatility in economic scenarios caused by COVID-19 and

government responses;

• Evaluating underlying data used in concentration risk and economic cycle allowances by comparing underlying portfolio characteristics to loss

experience, current market conditions and specific risks inherent in ANZ New Zealand’s loan portfolios;

• Assessing the impacts on the modelled ECL and the requirement for out of model adjustments. We also assessed assumptions used to

determine whether a SICR event has occurred; and

• Assessing the completeness of additional allowance overlays by checking the consistency of risks we identified in the portfolios against ANZ

New Zealand’s assessment.

We assessed the appropriateness of ANZ New Zealand’s disclosures in the consolidated financial statements using our understanding obtained from

our testing and against the requirements of NZ IFRS.

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value of Level 2 financial instruments in asset positions $10,572 million

Fair value of Level 2 financial instruments in liability positions $12,108 million

Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures of fair values in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key audit matter

The fair value of ANZ New Zealand’s financial instruments is determined by ANZ New Zealand through the application of valuation techniques which

often involve the exercise of judgement and the use of assumption and estimates.

The valuation of Level 2 financial instruments held at fair value is a key audit matter due to the complexity associated with the valuation methodology

and models of certain more complex Level 2 financial instruments leading to an increase in subjectivity and estimation uncertainty. Level 2 financial

instruments represent 34% of ANZ New Zealand’s financial assets carried at fair value and 95% of ANZ New Zealand’s financial liabilities carried at fair

value.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures for the valuation of financial instruments held at fair value included:

Performing an assessment of the population of financial instruments held at fair value to identify portfolios that have a higher risk of misstatement

arising from significant judgment over valuation either due to unobservable inputs or complex models.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating specifically to these financial instruments, including:

• ANZ New Zealand’s data validation controls in relation to Independent Price Verification, including completeness of portfolios and valuation

inputs;

• Controls in relation to model validation at inception and periodically, including assessment of model limitation and assumptions;

• Controls in relation to the review and challenge of daily profit and loss by a control function;

• Control over the collateral management process, including review of margin reconciliations with clearing houses; and

• Controls over fair value adjustments (FVAs), including exit price and portfolio level adjustments.

With the assistance of KPMG valuation specialists, we independently revalued a selection of financial instruments and FVAs on level 2 instruments. This

involved sourcing independent inputs from market data providers or external sources and using our own valuation models. We challenged ANZ New

Zealand where our revaluations significantly differed from ANZ New Zealand’s.

We assessed ANZ New Zealand’s consolidated financial statement disclosures, including key judgements and assumptions using our understanding

obtained from our testing and against NZ IFRS.

IT SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS

The key audit matter

As a major New Zealand bank, ANZ New Zealand’s businesses utilise a large number of complex, interdependent Information Technology (IT) systems

to process and record a high volume of transactions. Controls over access and changes to IT systems are critical to the recording of financial

information and the preparation of a financial report which provides a true and fair view of ANZ New Zealand’s financial position and performance.

The IT systems and controls, as they impact the financial recording and reporting of transactions, is a key audit matter and our audit approach could

significantly differ depending on the effective operation of ANZ New Zealand’s IT controls.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

We tested the control environment for key IT applications used in processing significant transactions and recording balances in the general ledger. We

also tested automated controls embedded within these systems which support the effective operation of technology-enabled business processes.

KPMG IT specialists were used throughout the engagement as a core part of our audit team.

Our audit procedures included:

• Assessing the governance and higher-level controls in place across the IT environment, including the approach to ANZ New Zealand policy

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT



92

design, review and awareness;

• Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls across the User Access Management Lifecycle, including how users are on-boarded,

reviewed, and removed on a timely basis from critical IT applications and supporting in frastructure. We also examined how privileged roles and

functions are managed across each IT application and the supporting infrastructure;

• Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls in place over change management, including how changes are in itiated, documented,

approved, tested and authorised prior to migration into the production environment of critical IT applications. We also assessed the

appropriateness of users with access to make changes to IT applications across ANZ New Zealand;

• Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls used by ANZ New Zealand’s technology teams to schedule system jobs and monitor

system integrity;

• Design and operating effectiveness testing of controls related to significant IT application programs per the ANZ Delivery Framework; and

• Design and operating effectiveness testing of automated business process controls including those that enforce segregation of duties between

conflicting roles within IT applications, configurations in place to perform calculations, mappings, and flagging of financial transactions,

automated reconciliation controls (both between systems, and intra-system) and data integrity of critical system reporting used by us in our

audit to select samples and analysis data used by management to generate financial reporting.

PROVISION FOR CUSTOMER REMEDIATION ($98 MILLION)

Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key audit matter

ANZ New Zealand has assessed the need to recognise provisions in relation to certain customer remediation activities arising from both internal and

external investigations, and reviews. This includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, remediation project costs

and related customer, counterparty and regulatory claims, penalties, and litigation outcomes.

The provision for customer remediation is a key audit matter due to the judgements required in assessing ANZ New Zealand’s determination of:

• The existence of a present legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event using the conditions of the event against the criteria in the

accounting standards;

• The number of investigations and the quantum of amounts being paid arising from the present obligations;

• Reliable estimates of the amounts that may be paid arising from investigations, including estimates of related costs; and

• The potential for legal proceedings, further investigations, and reviews from its regulators leading to a wider range of estimation outcomes for

us to consider.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures for customer remediation provisions included:

• Obtaining an understanding of ANZ New Zealand’s processes for identifying and assessing the potential impact of the investigations into

customer remediation payments, related project costs and legal proceedings associated with compliance matters, investigations and reviews

from its regulators;

• Enquiring with ANZ New Zealand regarding ongoing legal, and regulatory matters, and investigation into other remediation activities;

• Enquiring with external legal counsel;

• Reading the minutes and other relevant documentation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited’s Board of Directors and various management

committees, and attending ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited’s Audit and Risk Committee meetings;

• Inspecting correspondence with relevant regulatory bodies;

• For a sample of individual matters, assessing the basis for recognition and measurement of a provision and associated costs against the

requirements of the accounting standards. We did this by understanding and challenging the provisioning methodologies and underlying

assumptions;

• Testing completeness by evaluating all current customer remediation matters identified by ANZ New Zealand and checking the features of

these exposures against the criteria defining a provision or a contingency in the accounting standards; and

• Evaluating the related disclosures using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of NZ IFRS.

CARRYING VALUE OF GOODWILL ($3,006 MILLION)

Refer to the critical accounting estimates, judgements and disclosures in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key audit matter

Carrying value of goodwill is a key audit matter where there are a number of judgements required in the determination of the recoverable amount of

goodwill, and where the carrying value of goodwill is financially significant at the reporting date.

ANZ New Zealand uses a value-in -use (VIU) approach to estimate the recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which goodwill is

allocated. The reasonableness of the recoverable amounts was assessed using an implied market-multiples approach.

The ongoing effects and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continue to increase the potential for impairment and our audit effort

in this area remains elevated. There is increased judgement in forecasting cash flows and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models and

market-multiples used in the reasonableness assessment.

We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions ANZ New Zealand applied as part of its annual impairment test as at 28 February 2021,

including:

• Revenue growth rates, and terminal growth rates in the VIU model. Available headroom for some CGUs is sensitive to small changes in these

assumptions, reducing available headroom or indicating possible impairment. This drives additional audit effort specific to their feasibility and

consistency of application to ANZ New Zealand’s strategy; and

• Discount rates in the VIU model and the control premium in the market-multiples reasonableness assessment. These are complicated in nature

and vary according to the conditions and environment the specific CGU is subject to from time to time.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT




93

How the matter was addressed in our audit

We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior team members in assessing this key audit matter.

Working with our valuation specialists, our procedures included:

• In accordance with accounting standards, assessing the reasonableness of the amounts allocated to the CGUs to which ANZ New Zealand

allocated goodwill;

• Considering the appropriateness of the valuation method applied by ANZ New Zealand to perform their annual test for impairment against the

requirements of the accounting standards;

• Assessing the integrity of the VIU model used by ANZ New Zealand, including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulae;

• Assessing the accuracy of previous Banking Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the VIU model;

• For each CGU, assessing ANZ New Zealand’s key assumptions used in the VIU model, including discount rates, revenue growth rates, and

terminal growth rates by comparing to external observable metrics, historical experience, our knowledge of the markets and current market

practice;

• Stress testing key VIU assumptions to consider reasonably possible alternatives;

• Comparing the forecast cash flows contained in the model to the revised Operational forecast, reflecting the continued low interest rate

environment, the increased regulatory minimum capital requirements and COVID-19 impacts;

• Assessing key assumptions used in the market-multiples reasonableness assessment, which we assessed as being equivalent to a fair value less

costs of disposal approach. These assumptions included future maintainable earnings, the control premium comparing the implied multiples

from comparable market transactions to the implied multiples used in the VIU model;

• Determining whether there is sufficient appropriate evidence to support ANZ New Zealand’s conclusion that there is no impairment in goodwill

associated with any CGU;

• Assessing the reasonableness of ANZ New Zealand’s review for potential internal and external indicators of impairment. This review considered

the period from the annual impairment test as at 28 February 2021 up to financial year end; and

• Assessing the disclosures in the financial statements against the requirements of the accounting standards.

• to issue an independent 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 ISAs (NZ) 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 consolidated financial statements.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board (the XRB)

primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. Our responsibilities under

that standard are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the registered bank disclosures in section B4 of our report.

As the auditor of ANZ New Zealand, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REVIEW OF THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the registered bank disclosures in section B4 based on our review. We conducted our review in

accordance with NZ SRE 2410 issued by the New Zealand External Reporting Board. As the auditor of ANZ New Zealand, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we

comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements, and plan and perform the review to obtain limited

assurance about whether the registered bank disclosures in section B4 is, in all material respects, disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.


A review of the registered bank disclosures in section B4 in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs

procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical

and other review procedures.


The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ). Accordingly we

do not express an audit opinion on the registered bank disclosures in section B4.
