A derivative is a contract providing for future payments or financial rights and obligations determined by, or deriving their value from, a benchmark or other value independent of the contract.
Payments under derivatives can include payments determined by currency exchange rates, interest rate benchmarks, commodity price benchmarks or income from specified securities or other assets. Unlike traditional debt and equity securities, derivatives generally do not involve a return on an initial investment under the contract.
Common kinds of derivatives are swaps, forwards, futures and options.
Derivatives are often entered into for the commercial purpose of hedging or otherwise offsetting a liability or exposure of other contracts or assets. Derivatives may also be entered into for speculative or trading purposes, that is, for the purpose of making a future profit or gain from the net amounts payable under the derivative contract itself or from the disposal of the derivative contract prior to its settlement or expiry.
The derivative transaction category are primarily based on the nature of the benchmark or value from which the payments under the derivative are derived or determined. For example, where the derivative is not a cross currency interest rate swap but the payments under the derivative are determined by reference to fixed or future currency exchange rates, the applicable derivative transaction category will be ‘Currency derivative’.

The two three-month USD/AUD forwards with UK Co are with same IRP on the same terms except for date, volume, price and delivery. These two forwards are not hedging specific exposures or liabilities arising in connection with Aus Co’s related party dealings. Accordingly, these two currency forwards are in the same RAS with the result that the values for the two forwards can be aggregated in Part B of the local file.
The USD/AUD forwards with UK Co with tenors of 12 months and 10 years are not on the same terms except for date, volume, price and delivery as the two three-month USD/AUD forwards with UK Co because financial arrangements with different express tenors cannot be included in the same RAS. For more information about how financial agreements with different tenors cannot be included in the same RAS, refer to paragraphs 4(a) and 27 of Appendix 8.
The three-month AUD/USD forward with UK Co is not on the same terms except for date, volume, price and delivery as the two three-month USD/AUD forwards with UK Co because a transaction under which the reporting entity provides Australian dollars in exchange for US dollars is not on the same terms (except for date, volume, price and delivery) as a transaction under which the reporting entity provides US dollars in exchange for Australian dollars. For more about how agreements on reverse or opposite terms cannot be included in the same RAS, refer to paragraph 30 of Appendix 8.
The three-month GBP/AUD forwards with UK Co are not on the same terms except for date, volume, price and delivery as the two three-month USD/AUD forwards with UK Co because a transaction under which the reporting entity provides pounds sterling in exchange for Australian dollars is not on the same terms (except for date, volume, price and delivery) as a transaction under which the reporting entity provides US dollars in exchange for Australian dollars. For more information refer to paragraphs 4(a) and 31(c) of Appendix 8.

Example 10: Currency forward contracts with UK IRP (Aus Co is an OBU and has Australian banking licence)
The facts are the same as the facts in Example 9 except for the following:
- Aus Co is an OBU.
- Aus Co has an unconditional Australian banking licence.
- All the currency forwards are OB activities under sections 121D and 121EAA of the ITAA 1997.
- Under the internal rules of the Aus Co’s global group, Aus Co is responsible for pooling and externally hedging the banking group’s FX risk.
- With the exception of the 10 year USD/AUD forward, all the forwards effectively hedge, and do not deliberately or materially over-hedge, third-party customer exposures of UK Co.
UK Co is eligible to use, and applies, both of the following special rules for banks:
As a result, except for the 10 year USD/AUD forward, all of the following forwards which are OB activities under sections 121D and 121EAA of the ITAA 1997 may be included in the same RAS:
- The USD/AUD forwards
- The AUD/USD forward
- The GBP/AUD forwards
The amounts of each currency payable (to be delivered) and receivable (to be obtained) under the forwards as recorded in Aus Co’s accounting records, after aggregating the values for the forwards in the RAS, are shown in the following table.
Australian dollar equivalent figures are provided for reporting illustration purposes only and not intended to reflect accurate or precise figures calculated on relevant settlement dates.
