Training Manual Conventions Simple Fund Conventions One of the main objectives of Simple Fund is to enable superannuation data to be entered as quickly as possible. The following design features are just some of the ways Simple Fund speeds up the data entry process: 1. Within all transaction screens you are able to skip to the next field, using the Tab key if you do not wish to enter data. 2. Alternatively you can use the Enter key to pre fill fields with the details from the last transaction. 3. When entering cash payments or receipts Simple Fund automatically assumes all payments are debits and all receipts are credits. 4. You can use the standard windows shortcut keys Cut (Ctrl + X), Copy (Ctrl + C) and Paste (Ctrl + V) to move data amongst fields. 5. You can right click on your mouse in any screen to view a menu of options. Simple Fund has its own shortcut keys should you prefer to use the keyboard rather than the mouse. Some common shortcut keys used throughout Simple Fund are as follows: • Alt + N - creates a new record. • Alt + E - edits the current record. • Alt + C - opens the chart of accounts screen. • Alt + S - posts (saves) the current data. • Alt + X - exits the current screen without saving. Note - shortcut keys are referenced on each Simple Fund button with an underlined character. For example, the Create Entries shortcut key is Alt + C
Training Manual Conventions
• When "click" is used you are required to move the mouse pointer to the field or button and press the left mouse button. • When the word "highlight" is used you are required to move the mouse pointer to the data and press the left mouse button. • Buttons to be clicked are shown on the screen in bold and italics. ie Select. • Keys to be pressed are shown on the screen in bold, e.g. Tab. • Data required to be input by you will be displayed in BOLD, ITALICS AND UPPERCASE. Data should be input in proper case (upper and lower characters). • Any text with the prefix "KB" indicates a link to an article in the Knowledge Base on the BGL Wiki.

Lesson 6 - Commencing a Superannuation Pension and Income Stream Calculations Objective In this lesson you will learn how to convert John Jones to a transition to retirement pension member on 01/01/2012 and to use the Pension Calculation Screen to calculate pensions.

Overview The BGL Training Fund is a part pension, part accumulation fund. As John is still contributing to his super fund, he will be maintaining account 503 as his accumulation account. Mary is still an accumulation member. A member's pension accounts must be accounted for separately from any accumulation accounts within the fund. The pension assets become known as segregated current pension assets. Segregated current pension assets are a group of identifiable asset and investment accounts where investment earnings are credited (added) to the members account tax-free pension payments and running expenses are debited (subtracted) from the members pension account. There are two types of certificates depending on whether the assets being used to provide the pension payments are segregated or unsegregated. 1. Segregated actuarial certificates [ITAA36 sec273A] These require an actuary to separately identify any investments to the allocated pension member. 2. Unsegregated actuarial certificates [ITAA36 sec273B] These require an actuary to calculate a ratio of the fund's current pension liabilities to its total superannuation liabilities, using the funds average liabilities for the year, excluding already segregated assets. These two methods can be used simultaneously within the one fund during the same period.

Lesson 7 - Transaction Upload and Data Import Rules Objective In this lesson you will learn how to: • upload data into Simple Fund using the BGL Import data source from the Transaction Upload screen • create data import rules to ensure Simple Fund automatically adds transactions to the correct accounts based on the imports rules By the end of this lesson you will: • understand the benefits of using data upload • be able to identify the various data upload sources • be able to identify the two main data file formats - xml and csv • be able to determine which uploads require a reference or client number in Simple Fund • be able to create Data Import rules to automatically add transactions to the correct accounts
Overview The transaction upload feature allows users to upload data from various external sources into Simple Fund. The advantage of uploading data from external sources is that all data is imported electronically, reducing the need to re key transactions manually thereby streamlining client data processing. Data can be uploaded via two formats - xml files and csv files. The imports currently available to upload into Simple Fund are: • Adelaide Bank Internet Banking (Advisor) • Adelaide Bank Internet Banking (Client) • AdviserNET (CSV) • AdviserNET (XML) • AMP Internet Banking • ANZ Internet Banking • Aviva Investors (EPI 4.0) • Bank of Queensland • BankLink Single Fund Format (CSV) • BankLink Multi Fund Format (XML) • Bell Direct • Bendigo Bank Internet Banking • BGL Import • BT Wrap Account • BWA Cash Management Trust • CBA Internet Banking • COIN (EPI 3.2) • Colonial First State FirstWrap • CommSec • CommSec (Confirmation Details) • CommSec Cash Management • Dalton Nicol Reid (CSV format) • Dalton Nicol Reid (XLS format) • DDH Graham • EPI 3.2 Specification (CSV) • EPI 4.0 Specification (XML) • E*trade _________________________________________________________________________________________ © BGL Corporate Solutions

An excel spreadsheet has been created to key in data to generate an XML file to upload into Simple Fund. This spreadsheet is available in the SFUND folder of all users. To upload data into Simple Fund, users must : 1. Download and save the data from the external source to an appropriate location. 2. Select the Fund to upload data to. 3. For certain uploads, a reference number must be input in the Fund Details screen to ensure transactions are uploaded correctly. Reference numbers are generally the client's account code or account number for the particular upload source. Reference numbers are required to ensure that the correct transactions are uploaded into Simple Fund. Uploads that require a reference number: • AdviserNet, Bell Direct, BGL Import, BT Wrap, BWA, Colonial First State Firstwrap, Dalton Nicol Reid (CSV), DDH Graham, E*Trade, EPI 3.2 uploads, EPI 4.0 uploads), IOOF Investment Management, Macquarie files, MLC files, Next Financial, OneVue, Praemium, RBS Morgans - Wealth*, SISS, St George files, Visiplan and Xplan. _________________________________________________________________________________________ 84

Task 8.1 - CGT Optimiser
Task 8.1 - CGT Optimiser Objective In this task you will learn how to use the CGT Optimiser screen. By the end of this task, you will able to use the CGT Optimiser to optimise the overall capital gains/loss of the fund.
Overview The CGT Optimiser screen is used to calculate the most tax effective disposal method for all disposal entries. For this fund, the CGT optimiser will be used on all disposal entries including the disposal of BHP shares and the discounted gains for Colonial First State Imputation Fund uploaded in Task 7.1. Simple fund will switch the method between discounted gain or indexed methods. The method will change to ensure current year capital losses and prior year capital losses are applied to indexed and other capital gains resulting in the lowest overall capital gain position for the fund. Only disposals either processed through the Disposals screen or Capital Gains income received through a distribution will appear in this screen. Manual or uploaded transactions to accounts 235 and 236 will not appear. NOTE: There will be certain times when the discounted method will not switch to indexation method in the CGT Optimiser screen. For example, where there are no prior years or current year capital losses, the indexation method is not valid as the investment was purchased after 30th September 1999 or the fund's CGT disposal methods are already at their optimal capital gain position.

Task 9.2 - Member Allocation Worksheet
Task 9.2 - Member Allocation Worksheet Objective In this task you will learn how to create entries for a fund with an unsegregated actuarial certificate. By the end of this task, you will able to: • create entries using an actuarial certificate • create entries using the member allocation worksheet • use the member allocation worksheet to modify a fund's profit and tax allocation
Details Since the actuary percentage relates to the full year, reverse entries previously created from 01/07/2011 31/12/2011. Create entries from 01/07/2011 - 30/06/2012 using the member allocation worksheet to adjust John Jones ( 501) profit and tax allocation. Refer to the Task 5.2 of the Simple Fund Pensions Training Manual for more information on actuary percentages.
Instructions Create Entries to complete the fund for the full year. The actuary percentage 45.00% relates to the full year, so we must reverse the Create Entries on 31/12/2011, then Create Entries for the full year. Before creating entries, the security prices as at 30/06/2012 must be updated. From the Ribbon Toolbar: On the Reports and Documents tab, in the Fund Reporting group, click Financial Reports

Allocate net income to preserved balances (Post 1/7/1999 preservation rules) Simple Fund will automatically select this checkbox if performing the create entries process after the 01/07/1999. Simple Fund will allocate contributions received and the net income of the fund to the members preserved balance for fund balance dates after 1 July 1999. Untick this option to allocate these amounts to non preserved balances. (which is contrary to the preservation rules and would make the fund non complying) Reduce members balance used for profit/(loss) allocation by allocated assets. Select this checkbox. Simple Fund will deduct the members weighted allocated investments balance from the Member weighted members calculations. If not selected, Simple Fund will ignore any allocated investments when performing the member's weighted account balance calculations. Allocate Income Tax Expense to Pension Members Do not select this checkbox. If selected, Simple Fund will allocate Income Tax Expense to pension members, otherwise, it will be allocated normally to accumulation members only. In a fund with both accumulation and pension members, when this option is selected, the deferred tax associated with member investments will be allocated to both the accumulation member's entitlements, and to the pension member's. A pension member's total entitlement (member balance) continues to be affected (usually a reduction if investments have increased in value) by deferred tax payable provisions associated with investments allocated to that pension member.

Task 9.3 - Reconciliation of Members Balance
Task 9.3 - Reconciliation of Members Balance Objective In this task you will learn how Simple Fund allocates profit and tax to members of the fund. By the end of this task, you will be able to manually reconcile the allocation of profit and tax as well as the members balance using the create entries report.
Overview Simple Fund allocates profit and tax to members based on a a pro rata basis based on the members daily account balance or by a fixed percentage. The daily account balance method adds the total amount allocated to the members account for the year placing a weighting on each dollar based on the transaction date. The remaining profit (or loss) and income tax applicable is then allocated to members accounts based on the total of weighted members account balance at year end. This method ensure that members who make contributions during the year receive an appropriate percentage of the profit (or loss) of the fund at year end. Where a fixed percentage is input, this percentage overrides the daily account balance method. A fixed percentage can be input for members on the Member Allocation Worksheet as demonstrated in Task 9.2. This lesson will demonstrate the allocation based on the John Jones (501) daily account balance as well as the profit and tax allocation to John Jones (501) and Mary Jones (503) using a fixed percentage.
Instructions Review the Create Entries Report for the year ended 30/06/2012. From the Ribbon Toolbar: On the Reports and Documents tab, in the Fund Reporting group, click Financial Reports

Task 9.3 - Reconciliation of Members Balance
The remaining tax of $ 4 684.66 (31 367.80 - 26 683.14) will be allocated to John Jones (account 503). NOTE To calculate tax allocation to accumulation members, the total weighted amount for the fund must be adjusted as no tax will be allocated to the pension members. The total weighted amount will now be: Total weighted amount - pension members weighted amount : 600 189.52 - 390 382.61 = 209 806.91 Therefore Mary's weighted percentage used to calculate the tax allocation will be : 178 473.12/209 806.91= 85.0654% For more information on members allocation refer to the Simple Fund help file topic - Allocation to Members Accounts.

Exercise 1: Reconciliation of Create Entries Report in a Segregated Fund Objective To reconcile exempt pension income, profit, tax and members balance in a segregated part accumulation and pension fund.
Details The Trustee's of the BGL Training Fund have elected to allocate (segregate) assets to John Jones, these assets will form his segregated current pension assets. An actuarial certificate is not required if all pension assets are segregated at all times during the income year and the pensions are only account based pensions. More information on segregated funds can be found in Section 295-385 of the ITAA 1997. Refer to the following links on the ATO's website for more information: • Self-managed super funds and tax exemptions on pension assets • What are the requirements for claiming the tax exemption? Allocating assets can also be a useful tool in Simple Fund. It allows for better monitoring and reporting, especially when diverse investment strategies are undertaken, and can often be a better choice where there are other accumulation members in the fund. Simple Fund requires a linked income account to be setup for any asset or investment account that is to form part of segregated current pension assets. This includes Bank or Cash Management Accounts allocated to pension members, otherwise the income derived from these segregated current pension assets will not be correctly allocated by the create entries process, nor will the income be exempt from 15% Income Tax. Refer to Lesson 8 of the Simple Fund Pension Training Manual for more information. Based on the information provided below, reconcile the relevant fields in the create entries report attached in Appendix G

Answers : Exercise 1 - Reconciliation of Create Entries Report in a Segregated Fund 1. Exempt pension income for Colonial First State Imputation Fund for John Jones Total taxable income from Colonial First State Imputation Fund: = 4070+56.10-220+20-280 = $ 3646.10 Exempt portion based on 60% of the investment allocated to John Jones: = 3646.10*60% = $ 2 187.66 2. Discounted gains for Colonial First State Imputation Fund Total taxable discounted gains: = 280 - (60%x 280) = $ 112.00 3. Current year capital loss carried forward : Total current year capital loss for the fund = 13079.68 - (13079.68x60%) = 5231.87 Current year capital loss carried forward: = 5231.87-(1482.45x40%)-(741.23x40%)-(280X40%) = $ 4 231.00 4. The benefits accrued as a result of operations before tax on the operating statement can be used to reconcile the total profit of the period. 5.

Answers : Exercise 2 - Common Support Queries 1. Please refer to Article 283. 2. Please refer to Article 228. 3. A compliance change has been made in Simple Fund Version 12.0 to the Create Entries process and Tax Return/SMSF Annual Return for the treatment of Tax Losses when there is a deduction for Exempt Pension Income. Under section 36 ITAA1997, when there are tax losses and the fund has exempt pension income, the tax losses will be need to offset by the amount of 'Net Exempt Pension Income' (Net Exempt Income is equal to Exempt Pension Income less Non Deductible Expenses. This amount cannot be less than zero.) Then, any remaining tax losses can be offset against the assessable income of the SMSF. Once the assessable income is reduced to zero, any further losses can be carried forward to the next financial year. If the SMSF's net exempt pension income is greater than its total losses (prior and current year), you will reduce prior year losses, and the current year losses will be nil. Please also refer to Article 4663 for more information. 4. Ensure the tax free percentage has been saved in the members mode screen. Then record the total amount to one of the pension accounts. Simple Fund will split the total based on the tax free and taxable percentage. Please refer to Task 6.2 for more information. 5. Simple Fund will look at the actuary's percentage date entered in Fund Details when calculating non deductible expenses. For example, if you have the actuary's percentage date as 01/07/2009 and the Pension Expenses Percentage as 60%, then ALL the expenses for the year will be 60% non deductible (assuming you have created entries on 30/06/2010). Please refer to Article 957 for further information. 6. All archived transactions must be recalled to ensure that any tax deferred components are included in the investment disposal. Please refer to Task 2.4 for more information. 7. Please refer to Article 5291 for possible issues.
