Prudential Standard APS 111

Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital Objectives and key requirements of this Prudential Standard This Prudential Standard sets out the characteristics that an instrument must have to qualify as Regulatory Capital for an authorised deposit-taking institution and the various regulatory adjustments to be made to determine total Regulatory Capital on both a Level 1 and Level 2 basis. The ultimate responsibility for ensuring that an authorised deposit-taking institution's Regulatory Capital meets the requirements of this Prudential Standard rests with its Board of directors. The key requirements of this Prudential Standard are that an authorised deposit-taking institution must: * include in the appropriate category of Regulatory Capital (i.e. Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital) only those capital instruments that meet the detailed criteria for that category; * ensure all Regulatory Capital instruments are capable of bearing loss on either a 'going-concern' basis (Tier 1 Capital) or a 'gone-concern' basis (Tier 2 Capital); and * make certain regulatory adjustments to capital, mainly from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, to determine total Regulatory Capital.
