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 2022. 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 11 November 2022, 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 (FVOCI); 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 FVOCI, translation differences are included in other

comprehensive income.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ABOUT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


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.

Whilst the course of the COVID-19 pandemic is moderating and the management of its impact on the populace, businesses and economic

activity is better understood, the responses of consumers, business and governments remain uncertain. Compounding the effects of the

pandemic are mounting geopolitical tensions, global supply chain disruptions, the conflict in Ukraine, commodity price pressures, and

increasing inflation and interest rates impacting the economy. Thus, there remains an elevated level of estimation uncertainty involved in the

preparation of these financial statements.

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

reflect expectations and assumptions at 30 September 2022 about future events considered reasonable in the circumstances. There is a

considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. Actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those

forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of these 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 these uncertainties on each of these accounting estimates is discussed further in the relevant notes of these financial

statements. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainties described above.



INTEREST RATE BENCHMARK REFORM

Interbank offered rates (IBORs) 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. The IBOR reforms have a wide-ranging impact for ANZ New Zealand and our customers given the

fundamental differences between IBORs and risk-free rates (RFRs). 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.

Update on ANZ New Zealand’s approach to interest rate benchmark reform

In line with the regulatory announcements made in 2021, the majority of IBOR rates, including Pound Sterling (GBP), Euro (EUR), Swiss Franc (CHF),

Japanese Yen (JPY), and the US Dollar (USD) 1-week and 2-month LIBOR rate settings ceased on 31 December 2021 and have been replaced by

alternative RFRs. This transition had an immaterial impact to ANZ New Zealand’s profit and loss. Through its loan and derivative transactions with

customers, issuance of debt and its asset and liability management activities ANZ New Zealand continues to have exposure to the remaining US dollar

LIBOR settings and other IBOR-related benchmarks that are due to largely cease by 30 June 2023.

ANZ New Zealand continues to manage the transition from the remaining US dollar LIBOR tenors and other remaining IBOR settings to RFRs through a

Benchmark Transition Programme (the programme). The programme is responsible for managing the risks associated with the transition including

operational, market, legal, conduct and financial reporting risks that may arise.

Exposures subject to benchmark reform as at 30 September 2022

The table below shows ANZ New Zealand’s exposures to interest rate benchmarks subject to IBOR reform. These are financial instruments that

contractually reference an IBOR benchmark planned to transition to an RFR, and have a contractual maturity date beyond the planned IBOR cessation

date.

Hedge accounting exposures subject to IBOR reform

ANZ New Zealand has hedge-accounted relationships referencing 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

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED IN THE PERIOD

There were no new accounting standards or interpretations adopted in 2022 that had a significant effect on ANZ New Zealand. Accounting policies

have been consistently applied unless otherwise noted.

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 2022, 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.

2. OPERATING INCOME (continued)

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 FVOCI

and at fair value through profit or loss. We use the effective interest rate method to calculate the amortised cost of

assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets measured at FVOCI. 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 instrument (for example loan origination fees and costs), using the

effective interest rate method. These are 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.

• non-lending fees include 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 ANZ New Zealand 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 to 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 FVOCI reserve 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 substantively 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, ANZ New Zealand reorganised into the following business segments: Personal (comprising the Personal

and Funds Management business units), Business, and Institutional. These are intended to better align ANZ New Zealand’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. During the year ended 30 September 2022, there were net movements of approximately NZ$2.1 billion of loans and

advances and NZ$1.6 billion of customer deposits from Business to Personal. Comparative amounts have not been restated because the overall

impact on the financial performance and financial position of the affected segments, Personal and Business, is not considered material.

Personal

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 a network of branches, mortgage specialists, relationship managers and contact centres.

Business

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,

commodity 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 high quality liquid asset portfolio.

Other

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

FINANCIAL ASSETS

Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial assets as they apply to subsequent note disclosures.


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.




7. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other balances, as outlined below, that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of

changes in value and with remaining maturities of three months or less, including reverse repurchase agreements.

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 change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.





KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

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

quoted market prices. Refer to Note 16 fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

Derivative financial instruments

15,478 (13,571) 9,283 (7,680)

FEATURES

Derivative financial instruments 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 two parties exchange 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 customers or third parties.

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.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – DESIGNATED IN HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS

ANZ New Zealand uses two types of hedge accounting relationships:

Fair value hedge Cash flow hedge

Objective of this

hedging

arrangement

To hedge our exposure to changes to the fair value of a

recognised asset or liability or unrecognised firm

commitment caused by interest rate or foreign currency

movements.

To hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows of a

recognised asset or liability, a firm commitment or a

highly probable forecast transaction caused by interest

rate, foreign currency and other price movements.

Recognition of

effective hedge

portion

The following are recognised in profit or loss at the same

time:

• all changes in the fair value of the underlying item

relating to the hedged risk; and

• the change in the fair value of the derivatives.

We recognise the effective portion of changes in the fair

value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge in

the cash flow hedge reserve.

Recognition of ineffective

hedge portion

Recognised immediately in other operating income.

If a hedging instrument

expires, or is sold,

terminated, or exercised;

or no longer qualifies for

hedge accounting

When we recognise the hedged item in profit or loss, we

recognise the related unamortised fair value adjustment

in profit or loss. This may occur over time if the hedged

item is amortised to profit or loss as part of the effective

yield over the period to maturity.

Only when we recognise the hedged item in profit or

loss is the amount previously deferred in the cash flow

hedge reserve transferred to profit or loss.

Hedged item sold or

repaid

We recognise the unamortised fair value adjustment

immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred

immediately to profit or loss.

Under the policy choice provided by NZ IFRS 9, ANZ New Zealand has continued to apply the hedge accounting requirements of NZ IAS 39.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

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 in a hedging relationship, the recognition of gains or losses depends on the

nature of the item being hedged. Refer to the table on page 20 for details of the recognition approach applied

for each type of hedge accounting relationship.

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.

Hedge effectiveness

To qualify for hedge accounting under NZ IAS 39, a hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective. A

hedge relationship 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.





KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Judgement is required when we select the valuation techniques used to determine 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

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.

Equity investments not held for trading purposes 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 17.

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 is recognised in the FVOCI reserve in equity with a corresponding charge to profit or loss.





KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Judgement is required when we select valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of assets not valued using quoted market

prices, particularly the selection of valuation inputs that are not readily observable. Refer to Note 16 fair value of financial assets and

financial liabilities for further details.

ANZ New Zealand has reviewed the historic accounting treatment of a transaction product arrangement comprised of both overdraft and deposit

balances and concluded that, under NZ IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the deposit amounts cannot be netted against the overdraft

balances drawn under the arrangement. The application of netting reduced the amounts presented for overdrafts (above) and customer deposits

(Note 13 deposits and other borrowings) by NZ$178 million as at 30 September 2021. Comparative amounts have not been restated as the impact is

not considered material.


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, then 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 of assets as appropriate.

Assets disclosed as net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on page 17.

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.

12. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

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 risk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure returns to a Stage 1

classification with ECL measured accordingly.

• 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 macroeconomic 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 retail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using a behavioural term, taking into account expected prepayment behaviour and

events that give rise to substantial modifications.

DEFINITION OF DEFAULT, CREDIT IMPAIRED AND WRITE-OFFS

The definition of default used in measuring ECL 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 recorded as a release to the credit impairment charge in the income statement.

MODIFIED FINANCIAL ASSETS

If the contractual 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 PD 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 PD 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

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

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 future macroeconomic 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

To better reflect the current economic conditions and geopolitical environment, ANZ New Zealand has altered the severe downside

scenario in 2022 from a scenario fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions to one which aligns with the scenario used for

stress testing.

The four scenarios are described in terms of macroeconomic 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 macroeconomic 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

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses

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 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 uncertainty of how various factors might impact the

global economy, 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 2022

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 judgement since transition from Stage 1

to Stage 2 increases the ECL from an allowance based

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

an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses.

Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in

transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly result

in significant changes in the ECL allowance.

The setting of precise trigger points requires

judgement which may have a material impact upon

the size of the ECL allowance. ANZ New Zealand

monitors the effectiveness of SICR criteria on an

ongoing basis.

ANZ New Zealand has adjusted the ECL this period to

account for expected deterioration in credit-

worthiness of certain customer segments which are

considered particularly vulnerable to economic

pressures such as higher interest rates, increasing

inflation and low wage growth.

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 modelled outcome as at 30 September 2021

included a model adjustment to recognise increased

model uncertainties as a result of COVID-19. With

these uncertainties largely being appropriately

reflected in the underlying models, the COVID-19

adjustments have been removed.


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 2022.

Base case

economic

forecast

ANZ New Zealand derives a forward-looking “base

case” economic scenario which reflects our view of

the most likely future macroeconomic 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 2022, the base case assumptions

have been updated to reflect the relaxation of COVID-

19 related restrictions, continuing supply chain and

labour market pressures, and rapidly increasing global

inflation and interest rate rises globally, as well as

lower growth in key economies.

The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for

the base case scenario as at 30 September 2022 are

described below under the heading “Base case

economic forecast assumptions”.

Probability weighting of each economic scenario is

determined by management considering the risks

and uncertainties surrounding the base case

economic scenario at each measurement date.

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.

To better reflect the current economic conditions and

geopolitical environment, ANZ New Zealand has

altered the severe downside scenario from a scenario

fixed by reference to average economic cycle

conditions to one which aligns with the scenario used

for stress testing.

The key considerations for probability weightings in

the current period include the emergence from

COVID-19 restrictions, how customers will respond to

interest rate rises and higher inflation, and potential

impacts of lower growth prospects globally.

Weightings for current and prior periods are as

detailed in the section on ‘Probability weightings’

below.

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 local 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.

As at 30 September 2022, Management no longer

consider that a separate management temporary

adjustment is necessary for the uncertainty associated

with COVID-19. Management have however included

adjustments to accommodate uncertainty associated

with rising inflation, rapidly increasing interest rates,

and ongoing supply chain and labour market

pressures.

In addition, management overlays have been made

for risks particular to personal and business banking.

Management temporary adjustments total NZ$169

million (2021: 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.


Base case economic forecast assumptions

Continuing uncertainties described above increase the risk of the economic forecast resulting in an understatement or overstatement of the ECL

balance.

The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts, reflective of our view of future macroeconomic conditions, used at 30 September 2022

are set out below. For the years following the near term forecasts below, the ECL models project future year economic conditions which include

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


Forecast calendar year

New Zealand 2022 2023 2024

Gross domestic product (GDP) (annual % change) 1.9% 1.8% 1.7%

Unemployment rate 3.3% 3.9% 4.9%

Residential property prices (annual % change) -11.3% -3.1% 2.6%

Consumer price index (CPI) (annual % change) 6.8% 3.6% 1.9%

The base case economic forecasts reflect the expected slow down in economic activity globally from higher interest rates and increasing inflation,

along with declining residential property prices until 2024. Tight labour markets are expected to persist until central banks’ monetary policies have

the intended impact of reducing demand and bringing inflation down.

KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Probability weightings

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

economic scenario including the uncertainties described above.

The base case scenario represents an overall deterioration in the forecasts since September 2021. Given the uncertainties associated with how the

economy may respond to rapidly moving factors including inflation and lower economic growth globally, the base case weighting has been

reduced to 45.0% (2021: 50.0%), the upside scenario reduced to 0.0% (2021: 4.5%), the downside scenario reduced to 40.0% (2021:40.5%), and the

severe downside scenario increased to 15.0% (2021: 5.0%).

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 weightings applied are set out below:


2022 2021

Base 45.0% 50.0%

Upside 0.0% 4.5%

Downside 40.0% 40.5%

Severe downside 15.0% 5.0%

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.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial liabilities relevant to the subsequent note disclosures.


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 FVTPL 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 (including senior debt and covered bonds) 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 and subordinated debt will be repaid by the relevant issuer only after the repayment of claims of

depositors, other creditors and the senior debt holders.

Covered bonds are guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ

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 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 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.

ANZ CN3 provides 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 prior written approval.

ANZ CN3 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 or Level 2 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 – known as a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

ANZ CN3 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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Debt issuances are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, except where designated at fair value through

profit or loss. Interest expense on debt issuances is recognised using the effective interest rate method. 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.

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

to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at fair value through profit or 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 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.

• Credit risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Maximum exposure to credit risk

• Credit quality

• Concentrations of credit risk

• Collateral management

Market risk

The risk to ANZ New Zealand’s earnings arising from:

• changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility

and correlations; or

• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

• Market risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Measurement of market risk

• Traded and non-traded market risk

• Foreign currency risk – structural exposure

Liquidity and funding risk

The risk that ANZ New Zealand 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.

• Liquidity risk overview, management and control responsibilities

• Key areas of measurement for liquidity risk

• Liquidity portfolio management

• Funding position

• Residual contractual maturity analysis of ANZ New Zealand’s

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.

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 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 policies and control frameworks for the management of ANZ New Zealand’s credit risk.

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 re porting 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:

Satisfactory CCR 5+ to 6- Demonstrated sound operational and financial stability over the

medium to long-term even though some may be susceptible to

cyclical trends or variability in earnings.

Ba1 – B1 BB+ – B+

Weak CCR 7+ to 8= Demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with

variability and uncertainty in profitability and liquidity projected to

continue over the short and possibly medium term.

B2 – Caa B - CCC

Defaulted CCR 8- to 10 When doubt arises as to the collectability of a credit facility, the

financial instrument (or ‘the facility’) is classified as defaulted.

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 ri sk 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.

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, such as margin loans and reverse

repurchase agreements that are secured by the securities purchased using the lending. 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 re paid 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 facilities 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.

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 ri sk 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 and 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 following delegation from the BRC. Within an overall framework established by the BRC,

Treasury and Market Risk have responsibility for the control of funding and liquidity risk at ANZ New Zealand level. 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 AND FUNDING RISK

Supervision and regulation

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 of a range of regulatory and internal liquidity metrics.

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 one month under the modelled scenarios.

As of 30 September 2022 ANZ New Zealand was operating above the required minimums 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. The

core funding ratio is designed to limit the amount of wholesale funding required to be rolled over within a one 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.

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.

LIQUIDITY PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

ANZ New Zealand holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high quality liquid securities primarily to support liquidity risk management. The size of ANZ

New Zealand domestic corporates.

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$10,800 million at

30 September 2022 (2021: NZ$9,647 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 aimed 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

were able to 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). The initial allocation closed on 6 June 2022. An additional allocation of up

to 2% of eligible loans is available, subject to certain conditions until 6 December 2022.

As at 30 September 2022, the Bank had drawn NZ$300 million (2021: NZ$300 million) under the TLF and NZ$2,500 million (2021: NZ$1,000 million)

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.

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;

• 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.


FUNDING POSITION

ANZ New Zealand actively uses balance sheet disciplines to prudently manage the funding mix. ANZ New Zealand employs funding metrics to ensure

that an appropriate proportion of its assets are funded from stable sources, including customer liabilities, longer-dated wholesale debt (with

remaining term exceeding one year) and equity.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

The fair valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities is generally determined at the individual instrument level.

If ANZ New Zealand holds offsetting risk positions, then we use 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 designation

We designate commercial paper (included in deposits and other borrowings) as fair value through profit or loss where they are managed on a fair

value basis to align the measurement with how the instruments are managed.

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.

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

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:

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

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.

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

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

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

The carrying values of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate fair values. These financial instruments are short term in nature or

are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the end of the reporting period.

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.



KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

A significant portion of financial instruments are carried on ANZ New Zealand’s balance sheet at fair value. ANZ New Zealand therefore regularly

evaluates the key valuation assumptions used in the determination of the fair valuation of financial instruments incorporated within the

financial statements, as this can involve a high degree of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values at the balance sheet

date.

In determining the fair valuation of financial instruments, ANZ New Zealand has considered the impact of related economic and market

conditions on fair value measurement assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs in these estimates, notably valuation adjustments, as

well as the impact of these matters on the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.

Most of the valuation models ANZ New Zealand uses employ only observable market data as inputs. 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 also considers any required valuation adjustments in determining the

fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as 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 of

a particular financial instrument.

18. OFFSETTING

We offset financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet (in accordance with NZ IAS 32) 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.

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 2022, taking into account the results of the February 2022 impairment test and

associated sensitivity and scenario analysis performed and the forecast impact of 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.

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.

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

of 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.

Input / assumption

Values applied in 28 February 2022 impairment test

Forecast period and projections To 30 September 2028 - an extended forecast period was used to cover the implementation of RBNZ’s

increased capital requirements over the transition period ending on 1 July 2028.

Revenue growth over forecast

period

Comprises impacts of net interest margin and volume growth, arising from planned responses to known

regulatory and economic forecasts. Average annual forecast revenue growth rates are shown below.

Credit impairment over forecast

period

Varies by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2022 to 2024, before returning to long run experience levels for

2025 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 2025 to 2028 is shown below.

Terminal growth rate 2.0% - based on 2025 forecast inflation from RBNZ’s February 2022 Monetary Policy Statement.

Discount rate

Post tax: 10.7% (February 2021: 9.4%).

The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the risk 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

2022 of 2.7%. 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.

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 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 inherent uncertainty described in the

key judgements and estimates section on page 9.

Customer remediation

Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, remediation project costs and related

customer, counterparty and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation costs and outcomes.

Restructuring costs

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

Leasehold make good

Provisions associated with leased premises where, at the end of a lease, ANZ New Zealand is required to remove any fixtures and fittings installed in

the leased property. This obligation arises immediately upon installation. Estimated make good costs are added to the leasehold improvement asset

(within premises and equipment) upon installation and amortised over the lease term.

Other

Other provisions comprise various other provisions including losses arising from other legal action, operational issues, and warranties and indemnities

provided in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets.


RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

ANZ New Zealand recognises provisions when 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 the 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.




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 timing and outcome of future events, including estimates of

expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. Where relevant, 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 project

costs, and the implications of regulatory exposures and customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances. There is a

heightened level of estimation uncertainty where the customer remediation provision relates to a legal proceeding or matter. 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.

The Bank has issued perpetual preference shares (PPS) that are considered non-controlling interests to ANZ New Zealand.

The key terms of the PPS are as follows:

PPS dividends

PPS dividends are payable at the discretion of the Directors of the Bank and are non-cumulative. The Bank must not resolve to pay any dividend or

make any other distribution on its ordinary shares until the next PPS dividend payment date if a PPS dividend is not paid.

Should the Bank elect to pay a PPS dividend, the PPS dividend is 6.95% per annum up until 18 July 2028 and thereafter a floating rate equal to the

aggregate of the New Zealand 3 month bank bill rate plus 3.25%, multiplied by one minus the New Zealand company tax rate (where the PPS

dividend is fully imputed), with PPS dividend payments due on 18 January, 18 April, 18 July and 18 October each year.

Redemption features

Holders of PPS have no right to require that the PPS be redeemed. The Bank may at its option redeem all of the PPS on an optional redemption date

(each PPS dividend date from 18 July 2028); or at any time following the occurrence of a tax event or regulatory event, subject to prior written

approval of RBNZ and meeting of other conditions.

21. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares have no par value. They entitle holders to receive dividends, or proceeds available on winding

up of ANZ Holdings (New Zealand) Limited, in proportion to the number of fully paid ordinary shares held.

They are recognised at the amount paid per ordinary share net of directly attributable costs. Every holder of

fully paid ordinary shares present at a meeting in person, or by proxy, is entitled to:


• on a show of hands, one vote; and

• on a poll, one vote, for each share held.

Redeemable

preference shares

Redeemable preference shares do not carry any voting rights. They are wholly classified as equity instruments

as there is no contractual obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to

exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.


In the event of liquidation, holders of redeemable preference shares are entitled to available subscribed capital

per share, pari passu with all holders of existing redeemable preference shares but in priority to all holders of

ordinary shares. They have no entitlement to participate in further distribution of profits or assets.

Reserves:

Cash flow hedge

reserve

Includes fair value gains and losses associated with the effective portion of designated cash flow hedging

instruments together with any tax effect.

FVOCI reserve Includes the changes in fair value of investment securities together with any tax effect.

In respect of debt securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records accumulated changes

in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition, except for those relating to allowance for ECL, interest

income and foreign currency exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. As debt

securities at FVOCI are recorded at fair value, the balance of the FVOCI reserve is net of the ECL allowance

associated with such assets. When a debt security measured at FVOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain or

loss recognised in the FVOCI reserve in respect of that security is reclassified to profit or loss and presented in

other operating income.

In respect of the equity securities classified as measured at FVOCI, the FVOCI reserve records accumulated

changes in fair value arising subsequent to initial recognition (including any related foreign exchange gains or

losses). When an equity security measured at FVOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in

the FVOCI reserve in respect of that security is not recycled to profit or loss.

Non-controlling

interests:

Share in the net assets of controlled entities attributable to equity interests which ANZ New Zealand does not

own directly or indirectly. The equity interest comprises PPS issued by the Bank.

PPS do not carry any voting rights. They are wholly classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual

obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial

instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.

In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to available subscribed capital per share, pari passu with

all holders of existing preference shares and ANZ Capital Notes issued by the Bank but in priority to all holders

of ordinary shares issued by the Bank. They have no entitlement to participate in further distribution of profits

or assets.

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 is 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.

Changes in controlled entities

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




61

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 determining 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 2022 and 30 September 2021, ANZ New Zealand had entered into repurchase agreements

with RBNZ in relation to the TLF and FLP.

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

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 (2021: 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$196 million (2021: NZ$204 million) during the year. As at 30 September 2022,

ANZ New Zealand had total funds under management of NZ$34.3 billion (2021: NZ$39.0 billion) of which NZ$24.6 billion (2021: NZ$28.5 billion)

related to its MIS, with the largest individual fund being approximately NZ$3.8 billion (2021: NZ$4.3 billion).

ANZ New Zealand did not provide any non-contractual support to unconsolidated SEs during the year (2021: 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 the relevant activities (being those that significantly affect the entity’s returns); and

• exposure to variable returns of the entity.

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 liability 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 (2021: 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 (2021: less than NZ$0.1 million).

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 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

ANZ New Zealand regularly engages with its regulators in relation to regulatory investigations, surveillance and reviews, reportable situations, civil

enforcement actions (whether by court action or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries and regulatory supervisory activities 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, privacy obligations and information security, business continuity management, 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 RBNZ, where transaction reports had not been filed within the

prescribed timeframe. 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. RBNZ’s enforcement team is considering this matter. The potential outcome of these matters remains uncertain at

this time.

LOAN INFORMATION LITIGATION

In September 2021, representative proceedings were 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. The proceedings are still at an early

stage. A hearing of the plaintiff’s application for leave to bring re presentative proceedings was heard before the High Court in May 2022. The Court

has ruled that the proceedings shall proceed as an opt-out representative action brought by one representative plaintiff on behalf of a class, being

customers who entered into a home loan or personal loan with the Bank between 6 June 2015 and 28 May 2016 and requested a variation to that

loan during that period.

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, some of which are currently active. The outcomes and total costs associated with these exposures remain uncertain.

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. 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).

A summary of the final Attestation Review was published in March 2022. The report found that the Bank has taken appropriate steps to address the

recommendations from the 2019 Attestation Review report. The review noted that there has been a marked uplift in the overall capabilities within the

Bank in respect to the attestation process, with heightened focus and scrutiny from management, executives and the Bank’s board. The review also

noted while there are elements of the framework still in the process of being embedded, the key changes recommended in the 2019 Attestation

Review report have been appropriately addressed.


The final Capital Adequacy Review was completed in December 2021. The report found that the Bank had made significant progress to address non-

compliance issues and improvement items identified by the 2019 Capital Adequacy Review report. In particular, as at 30 September 2022 all previously

non-compliant capital models have been approved by RBNZ.

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.



29. POTENTIAL NEW ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY

On 4 May 2022, the Ultimate Parent Bank announced its intention to lodge a formal application with APRA, the Australian Federal Treasurer and other

applicable regulators to establish a non-operating holding company and create distinct banking and non-bank groups within the organisation to

assist the Overseas Banking Group to better deliver its strategy to strengthen and grow its core business further.

Should the proposed restructure proceed, the Ultimate Parent Company will establish a non-operating holding company, ANZ Group Holdings

Limited, as the new listed parent holding company of the ANZ Group by a scheme of arrangement and to separate the Overseas Banking Group’s

banking and certain non-banking businesses into the ANZ Bank Group and ANZ Non-Bank Group. The ‘ANZ Bank Group’ would comprise the current

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited and the majority of its present-day subsidiaries. The ‘ANZ Non-Banking Group’, would house

banking-adjacent businesses developed or acquired by the ANZ Group, as we continue to seek ways to bring the best new technology and banking-

adjacent services to our customers.

The Explanatory Memorandum has been registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Ultimate Parent Bank

shareholders will be asked to vote on the scheme on 15 December 2022. A copy of the Explanatory Memorandum is available on the website

anz.com/schememeeting.

This is not expected to have a material impact on ANZ New Zealand.

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 1959 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 2022, amounted to NZ$1,135m (2021: NZ$1,048m).

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 if an ADI does not 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, and APRA has not 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.

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 Tier 1 capital base to the Bank should not

exceed: (A) 25% on an individual exposure basis; or (B) 75% in aggregate (being exposures to all similar regulated ADI equivalent entities related

to the Ultimate Parent Bank).

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 requires 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 11 November 2022.

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.


Auditors

Conditions of registration

The following conditions of registration were applicable as at 30 September 2022, and have applied from 1 November 2015.


The registration of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the registered bank) in New Zealand is subject to the following conditions:

1. That the banking group does not conduct any non-financial activities that in aggregate are material relative to its total activities.

In this condition of registration, the meaning of “material” is based on generally accepted accounting practice.

2. That the banking group’s insurance business is not greater than 1% of its total consolidated assets.

For the purposes of this condition of registration, the banking group’s insurance business is the sum of the following amounts for entities in the banking group:

a) if the business of an entity predominantly consists of insurance business and the entity is not a subsidiary of another entity in the banking group whose

business predominantly consists of insurance business, the amount of the insurance business to sum is the total consolidated assets of the group headed by

the entity; and

b) if the entity conducts insurance business and its business does not predominantly consist of insurance business and the entity is not a subsidiary of another

entity in the banking group whose business predominantly consists of insurance business, the amount of the insurance business to sum is the total liabilities

relating to the entity’s insurance business plus the equity retained by the entity to meet the solvency or financial soundness needs of its insurance business.

In determining the total amount of the banking group’s insurance business—

a) all amounts must relate to on balance sheet items only, and must comply with generally accepted accounting practice; and

b) if products or assets of which an insurance business is comprised also contain a non-insurance component, the whole of such products or assets must be

considered part of the insurance business.

For the purposes of this condition of registration,—

“insurance business” means the undertaking or assumption of liability as an insurer under a contract of insurance:

“insurer” and “contract of insurance” have the same meaning as provided in sections 6 and 7 of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010.

3. That the business of the registered bank in New Zealand does not constitute a predominant proportion of the total business of the registered bank.

4. That no appointment to the position of the New Zealand chief executive officer of the registered bank shall be made unless:

a) the Reserve Bank has been supplied with a copy of the curriculum vitae of the proposed appointee; and

b) the Reserve Bank has advised that it has no objection to that appointment.

5. That Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited complies with the requirements imposed on it by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

6. That Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited complies with the following minimum capital adequacy requirements, as administered by the Australian

Prudential Regulation Authority:

a) Common Equity Tier 1 capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 4.5 percent of risk weighted exposures;

b) Tier 1 capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 6 percent of risk weighted exposures;

c) Total capital of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is not less than 8 percent of risk weighted exposures.

7. That the business of the registered bank in New Zealand is restricted to:

a) acquiring for fair value, and holding, mortgages originated by ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited; and

b) any other business for which the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank has been obtained; and

c) activities that are necessarily incidental to the business specified in paragraphs (a) and (b).

8. That the value of the mortgages held by the registered bank in New Zealand must not exceed $15 billion in aggregate.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED - ANZ NEW ZEALAND 2022 DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES



74

B1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) (continued)

9. That the registered bank in New Zealand does not incur any liabilities except:

a) to the government of New Zealand in respect of taxation and other charges;

b) to other branches or the head office of the registered bank;

c) to trade creditors and staff;

d) to ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited in respect of activities, other than borrowing, that are necessarily incidental to the business specified in paragraphs (a) and

(b) of condition 7; and

e) any other liabilities for which the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank has been obtained.


In these conditions of registration,—

“banking group” means the New Zealand business of the registered bank and its subsidiaries as required to be reported in group financial statements for the group’s

New Zealand business under section 461B(2) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

“business of the registered bank in New Zealand” means the New Zealand business of the registered bank as defined in the requirement for financial statements for New

Zealand business in section 461B(1) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

“generally accepted accounting practice” has the same meaning as in section 8 of the Financial Reporting Act 2013.


Other material matters

Climate related disclosures

The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 amended the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 with

effect from 27 October 2022. Should the proposed new ultimate holding company outlined in Note 29 to the financial statements proceed, the

amendments will require ANZ New Zealand to produce Climate Related Disclosures (CRD) from the year ending 30 September 2024, in accordance

with CRD reporting standards to be issued by the External Reporting Board. ANZ New Zealand is actively preparing to produce CRD in accordance

with this timetable.

New RBNZ capital requirements

RBNZ has released new bank capital adequacy requirements applying to New Zealand locally incorporated registered banks, which are set out in

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 remainder 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 2022, the Bank had NZ$2,241 million

of AT1 instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over the transition period 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.

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.

Pending proceedings or arbitration

A description of any pending legal proceedings or arbitration concerning any member of ANZ New Zealand that may have a material adverse effect

on the NZ Branch or ANZ New Zealand is included in Note 27 commitments and contingent liabilities.

Overall, loss allowances are 0.42% of gross balances as at 30 September 2022, up from 0.41% as at 30 September 2021. The NZ$44 million (6.2%)

increase in loss allowances was driven by an increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2, 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 evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions have continued to challenge our operating environment. Our Risk Management Framework

(RMF) has remained robust in the face of these challenges, enabling the sound management of our business.

The Board is ultimately responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZ New Zealand’s 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 the approach for managing risks arising from ANZ New Zealand’s purpose

and 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 a

n

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 and the oversight mechanism and/or committees in place.

•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.

•The Risk Culture principles, which are a subset of ANZ New Zealand’s organisational 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.

Strategic risks are discussed and managed through our annual

strategic planning process, managed by the Executive Committee

and approved by the Board. Where the strategy leads to an increase

in other 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

•a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting

in a financial loss.

Credit Risk incorporates the risks associated with our

lending to business and retail 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 ANZ New Zealand 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.

REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES
85

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (continued)

Risk type Description Managing the risk

Market

Risk

The risk stems from our trading and balance sheet activities

and is 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 market 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, but excludes

strategic risk.

We manage Compliance and Operational Risk in the best interests of

our customers and the community and to meet expectations of the

regulators. The Compliance and Operational Risk Principles (Level 1)

establish the fundamental requirements at ANZ New Zealand which

inform policies, processes, and procedure development of ANZ New

Zealand’s management of Compliance and Operational Risk,

through timely and appropriate identification, action and

monitoring. It is part of ANZ New Zealand’s RMF and ANZ New

Zealand’s I.AM (Identify, Act, Monitor) Framework (Level 2). We take 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.

Day-to -day management of operational risk is the responsibility of

business unit line management and staff. Risk management,

supported by a strong Risk Culture, helps to seek to ensure all staff

are thinking about and managing risk on a daily basis – “Risk is

Everyone’s Responsibility”.

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;

•an 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, measured, evaluated, treated, monitored and reported with

appropriate governance and oversight.

The articulation of Conduct Risk as a Level 1 Risk Theme under the

new Non-Financial Risk (NFR) model will help manage Conduct Risk

as a key material risk for ANZ New Zealand. To support the NFR

model, ANZ New Zealand has developed a Conduct Risk Framework

and Conduct Risk taxonomy which facilitate a clear and consistent

way of managing and monitoring the risk, and the risk is managed in

conjunction with the Compliance and Operational Risk Framework

(I.AM).

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 includes 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.

B6. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES (continued)

Risk type Description Managing the risk

Financial

Crime

Risk

Financial Crime Risk covers the following risks at ANZ New

Zealand:

•Money Laundering (ML) Risk – the risk that we may

reasonably face from our products and/or services

being misused to facilitate the processing of the

proceeds of crime to conceal their illegal origins and

make them appear legitimate.

•Terrorism Financing (TF) Risk – the risk that we may

reasonably face from our products and/or services

being misused to facilitate the provision or collection of

funds with the intention or knowledge that they may

be used to carry out acts associated in support of

terrorists or terrorist organisations.

•Sanctions Risk – the risk of failing to comply with laws

and regulations relating to sanctions imposed by

governments and multinational bodies as a result of

our products and services being misused to facilitate

prohibited sanctions activities.

•Fraud Risk – the risk that we may reasonably face from

our products and/or services being misused to facilitate

intentional acts by one or more individuals, involving

the use of deception to obtain an unjust or illegal

advantage arising from internal or external sources.

Financial Crime Risk at ANZ New Zealand is managed using a risk-

based approach in conjunction with the Compliance and

Operational Risk Framework (I.AM) and a three lines of defence

model. In addition to a risk-based approach to risk management, for

Sanctions there is a rules-based lens to ensure compliance with

Sanctions legislation. For the Business to identify and manage

Financial Crime Risk, it must identify its regulatory obligations and

impacted business activities and maintain and monitor key controls.

Refer to Note 15 financial risk management for the disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

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

TO THE DIRECTORS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

RE

PORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE ANZ NEW ZEALAND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

OP

INION

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements and registered bank disclosures of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group

Limited - ANZ Bank New Zealand and its related entities (ANZ New Zealand) in section B2, B3, B5 and B6 which comprise:

•the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2022;

•the consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended;

•notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and

•the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 4, 7, 11 and 13 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements

(Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements on pages 4 to 67:

•give a true and fair view of ANZ New Zealand’s financial position as at 30 September 2022 and its financial performance and cash

flows for the year ended on that date; and

•comply with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, which in this instance means New Zealand Equivalents to International

Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards.

In our opinion, the Registered Bank disclosures that are required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 4, 7, 11 and 13 of the Order are

included in section B2, B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement:

•have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the guidelines issued pursuant to section 78(3) of the Banking (Prudential

Supervision) Act 1989 and any conditions of registration;

•are in accordance with the books and records of ANZ New Zealand in all material respects; and

•fairly state the matters to which they relate in accordance with those Schedules.

In accordance with the requirements of clauses 2(1)(d) and 2(1)(e) of Schedule 1 of the Order, we report that:

•we have obtained all the information and explanations we have required; and

•in our opinion, proper accounting records have been kept by ANZ New Zealand, as far as appears from our examination of those records.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). We believe that the audit evidence we

have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of ANZ New Zealand in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance

Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board

and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International

Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA

Code.

Our responsibilities under ISA’s (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and

registered bank disclosures in section B2, B3, B5 and B6 section of our report.

Our firm has also provided other services to ANZ New Zealand in relation to review of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus

assurance or reviews and agreed upon procedures engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal

with ANZ New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of ANZ New Zealand. These matters have not

impaired our independence as auditor of ANZ New Zealand. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, ANZ New Zealand.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial

statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit procedures to address those matters in order that the

Directors as a body may better understand the process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of

and solely for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express discrete opinions

on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ($751 MILLION)

Refer to the critical accounting estimates and judgements 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

90

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).

NZ IFRS 9 requires ANZ New Zealand to measure ECL on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of future economic conditions. 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.

Additional subjectivity and judgement has been introduced into ANZ New Zealand’s measurement of ECL due to the heightened uncertainty

associated with the impact of the economic outlook on ANZ New Zealand’s customers, increasing our audit effort thereon.

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.

Additionally, the determination of an allowance for individually assessed impairment on Business and Institutional (wholesale) loans requires

significant judgement in estimating the e xpected future cash repayments and proceeds from the value of the collateral held in respect of the loans.

How t

he 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 a

ddition 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 N ew Zealand as showing

signs of deterioration, or in areas of emerging risk. 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 as 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 derived calculation tools and comparing this to the amount

recorded by ANZ New Zealand;

•W

orking 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;

•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 i ncluded:

•Assessing post-model adjustments against ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model and data deficiencies identified by ANZ New Zealand’s ECL model

validation processes, particularly in light of the significant volatility in economic scenarios;

•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;

•A

ssessing the impacts on t he 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 post-model adjustments 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 $17,493 million

Fair value of Level 2 financial instruments in liability positions $16, 506 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 51% of ANZ New Zealand’s financial assets carried at fair value and 98% of ANZ New Zealand’s financial liabilities c arried 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 t

ested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls relating specifically to these financial instruments, including:

•Independent Price Verification (IPV), including completeness of portfolios and valuation inputs subject to IPV;

•Model validation at inception and periodically, including assessment of model limitation and assumptions;

•Review and challenge of daily profit and loss by a control function;

•Collateral management process, including review of margin reconciliations with clearing houses; and

•Review and approval of 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 valuations.

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. The c ontrols over access, changes to and operations of IT systems are critical to the recording of

financial information and the preparation of financial statements which provide 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 t

he 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

design, review and awareness, and IT risk and cyber security management practices;

•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 infrastructure. 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 initiated, 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 and whether access was commensurate with

their job responsibilities;

•D

esign 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.

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

The 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 uncertainties associated with the economic outlook increases 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 2022,

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.

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 ANZ New Zealand 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 higher interest rate environment,

the increased regulatory minimum capital requirements and economic outlook;

•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 2022 up to financial year end; and

•Assessing the disclosures in the financial statements against the requirements of the accounting standards.

REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4 RELATING TO CREDIT AND

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY (SECTION B4)

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the registered bank disclosures relating to credit and market

risk exposures and capital adequacy as disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement, is not, in all material respects disclosed in accordance

with Schedule 9 of the Order.

We have reviewed the registered bank disclosures, as disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2022,

which are required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

BASIS FOR CONCLUSION ON THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4

A review of the registered bank disclosures in section B4 in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent

Auditor of the Entity (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. 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

statements.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS FOR THE REGISTERED BANK DISCLOSURES IN SECTION B4

prepared in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

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.
