NOTES CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE There are no changes in this issue.. REVISIONS THIS ISSUE There have been revisions in many series as a result of quality assurance work undertaken with data providers. In particular revisions have been made to: cash management trusts (revised back to November 1996 as a result of coverage checks) and life insurance (revised back to March 1998 in respect of classification to financial instrument). In consultation with the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) total assets and the asset profile of small and medium superannuation funds has been adjusted and revised back to September 1995 to reflect analysis of the annual regulatory returns to ATO and APRA. The data for ATO regulated funds and small and medium APRA funds in this publication are consistent with the revised data published by APRA in June 2003 reference quarter edition of Super Trends (see www.apra.gov.au/statistics). ROUNDING Discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals due to rounding. ABBREVIATIONS
