Introduction Reporting

Last update Jan 2023

What has changed?

The updated module includes asset-level reporting guidelines and a set of sustainability reporting disclosures complemented by required and recommended ESG KPIs. These are cross referenced in the Sustainability module. The ESG KPIs will be incorporated in the 2023 update of the INREV SDDS.

When it becomes effective?

For vehicles to be compliant with this module, a transition period has been established. Investment managers and the governing body of the respective vehicle should assess and implement any organisational or reporting changes triggered by adoption of these guidelines during the period up to 31 December 2023. The guidelines will be applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. Earlier adoption is encouraged. Many of the guidelines reflect current industry practice and regulatory reporting which should enable partial or full adoption and compliance with this module as soon as possible.

How do you comply?

The Reporting module is a compliance module:

RG-I01

The purpose of the Reporting module of the INREV Guidelines is to provide investment managers with a generic reporting framework that meets investors’ needs for comparability and transparency of information and facilitates their decision-making processes through relevant disclosures.

This module includes a list of required disclosures. In addition, users are encouraged to adopt a set of recommended guidelines related to asset-level reporting and sustainability metrics. If an investment manager chooses to adopt the recommended disclosures, the related definitions may be followed. The recommended disclosures are voluntary and do not trigger non-compliance with the Reporting module.

In principle, investment managers should annually report basic data including the characteristics of a vehicle, commentary on vehicle performance and an analysis of the relevant KPIs. The annual report also informs investors about the vehicle’s investment strategy, risk policies and exposures and how the investment manager has complied with its business objectives and policies.

The annual report is commonly composed of the annual review of the performance and activities of the vehicle for the year and the financial statements prepared under relevant GAAP. Alongside an annual report, investment managers should also provide interim reports to investors. The frequency and the level of detail of interim reporting should be defined in vehicle documentation.

Interim reports commonly aim to update investors on the activities and performance of the vehicle during the interim period covered, and provide details of any significant changes that have or could have a material impact on the vehicle’s organisation, governance and risk profile. As well as interim reports, there may be other more informal investor updates and ‘flash’ reports which are prepared on a more frequent basis (eg, monthly), which are outside the scope of the guidelines.

Quantitative data and KPIs, as defined in the Standard Data Delivery Sheet (SDDS), are an integral part of investor reporting under these guidelines and such information should be included in the reports to investors. The ESG KPIs will be included in a new standardised reporting template for ESG data and metrics (2023 release). This template will be integrated into the SDDS.

The quantitative data can be presented in a separate attachment to the annual or interim reports (using the SDDS template) or embedded into the relevant section of the report itself depending on the investment manager’s preference.

The framework of the Reporting module comprises the following topics:

General vehicle information, organisation and governance;
Vehicle performance and investor position;
Manager’s report;
Property report;
Risk management;
Environmental, social and governance (ESG)

The specific considerations incorporated into the Reporting module are as follows:

Frequency: Financial information should be available on a regular basis for decision-making.
Assurance/Governance: Sound governance is crucial at the senior management level, which in turn provides assurance over the financial information issued by an investment manager to investors.
Financial statements: A reporting entity communicates information about its assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses by presenting and disclosing information in its financial statements. The financial statements provide information about the nature and amounts of a reporting entity’s economic resources and liabilities, and can help users to identify the issuer’s financial strengths and weaknesses.
Type of reports: Information about a reporting entity’s economic resources and liabilities may be communicated on a more frequent basis through other types of reports alongside the full set of financial statements.
Regulations: Entities operate in different jurisdictions which are governed by different laws and regulations. Hence, it may be appropriate to disclose the impact, if deemed significant, such laws and regulations have on the issuer’s financial statements.

Annual and interim reporting to investors may include audited annual financial statements or abridged interim financial statements prepared in accordance with the appropriate generally accepted accounting standards.

The investment manager is free to present the INREV report disclosures as a single package together with the audited financial statements or in two separate documents.

Some investment managers may also opt to provide investors full financial statements on an interim basis. Such financial statements may contain some of the information required to be disclosed by these reporting guidelines and can be referred to as appropriate.

Information in the respective financial statements should be consistent with information presented in the annual or interim reports as a whole.

The reporting guidelines focus on the content of investor reports but do not prescribe the organisation and format of such reports.

The INREV SDDS is a standardised data tool that provides investors with the main financial management information they require in a format that allows them to easily upload the data into their own systems. Each reporting requirement has been referenced to relevant SDDS data fields and shows the relationship between the content of annual and interim reports.

The principles and guidelines for reporting are listed below. The frequency column indicates whether the guidelines are an annual reporting requirement or an interim reporting requirement. Where appropriate, further explanation is provided to assist the understanding of the user. In addition, the Tools and Examples section available on the INREV website contains a debt and derivatives disclosures note, a reporting self-assessment tool, the SDDS template, and examples of sustainability reporting and reporting on capital calls and distribution.

The governing body of the vehicle, in collaboration with the investment manager should evaluate the level of compliance with the requirements included in the guidelines – see RG09 for details.

Principles

RG-P01

Annual and interim reporting should be consistent, transparent and provide meaningful information to investors.

RG-P02

The investment manager’s report should contain information relevant to gaining an understanding of the overall performance of the vehicle and of its property portfolio, and factors that may affect performance in the future.

RG-P03

If the periodic reports have been externally verified or assured, a link or reference to the external assurance report should be provided; in addition, information on what has been assured and on what basis, including the assurance standards used, the level of assurance obtained, and any limitations of the assurance process should be disclosed.

Guidelines

General vehicle information, organisation, and governance

1.1 Vehicle documentation for reporting framework

RG01

The basis, frequency and timing of delivery of the audited and non-audited financial statements, and management reporting for investors should be defined in the vehicle documentation.

The investment manager should provide at least one interim report to its investors, in addition to the annual report.

Annual

Interim

RG02

For annual reports, define any terms or KPIs not already included in Definitions.

1.2 Content and frequency of reporting

RG03

The quantitative information presented in the SDDS should be provided either using the SDDS template proposed by INREV or otherwise disclosed in annual and interim reporting to investors.

Annual

Interim

RG04

The financial statements provided in the annual report to investors should be audited.

Annual

RG05

Elements of the overall package of annual and interim reporting to investors, however configured, should be internally consistent.

For instance, information presented in the manager, property and other reports should be consistent with information in the SDDS template, if separate, and the financial statements. Also, the basis of preparation of information contained in interim reporting to investors should be consistent with annual reporting to investors. Any differences or exceptions should be explained.

Annual

Interim

RG06

Full year-end audited financial statements should be provided to investors. These should contain:

Interim

RG09

For annual reports, describe the overall status of the vehicle’s INREV compliance.

The governing body of the vehicle, in collaboration with the investment manager, should thereafter, periodically, perform a self-assessment against the intended reporting framework and take actions as appropriate. The level of adoption of the guidelines and the annual score representing implementation effectiveness should be disclosed to investors in the annual report. This process is facilitated by using INREV’s self-assessment tool, the use of which is described in more detail in the Adoption and Compliance Framework of the INREV Guidelines.

In doing so, disclose the level of compliance with INREV Guidelines by module. Include any relevant explanations, reconciliations and calculations as appropriate. Additionally, disclose the result of the INREV self-assessment tool with commentary on how the self-assessment score compares to the level of compliance assessed by the investment manager.

Management (in the event that, for instance, the INREV Governance framework is not being adopted) and/or independent non-executive directors/those in charge of governance should review this statement and the basis for making it.

Annual

RG10

For interim reports, disclose the level of compliance with INREV interim reporting guidelines. Reference should be made to the annual report for detailed description of the level of compliance with reporting requirements.

INREV NAV disclosure requirements

Investment managers should make the following disclosures related to the NAV computation:

The reconciliation between GAAP NAV and INREV NAV should be presented in line with guideline NAV 2;
Investment managers should explain material estimates and computation methodologies to enable investors to understand the components of the reconciliation between GAAP NAV and INREV NAV

Explanatory notes to the reconciliation should describe key assumptions, methods used, and in particular:

The basis for reclassifying certain shareholder loans or hybrid capital instruments as a component of equity;
The basis for the determination of fair value of investment property, self-constructed or developed investment property, property that is leased to tenants under finance lease, investment property held for sale and real estate held as inventory;
The basis of the estimate of other investments in real estate assets;
The basis for the determination of the fair value of indirect investments not consolidated;
Details of the methodology used to calculate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities;
The basis of the estimate of the fair value of construction contracts with third parties;
The basis of the estimate of the fair value of contractual fees;
Details of the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of deferred tax and the tax effect of INREV NAV adjustments.
Such disclosure gives an overview of the tax structure including, for instance, details of the property ownership structure, key assumptions and broad parameters used for estimating deferred taxes for each country, the maximum deferred tax amount estimated assuming only asset sales (eg, without taking into account the intended method of disposal) and the approximate tax rates used;
Reasons for making adjustments to the carrying value of subsidiaries having negative equity (non-recourse);
Under IFRS, the fair value of investment properties does not take into account the expenses incurred by the seller when selling a property. As with IFRS, no adjustment is required to include a provision for such costs in the INREV Guidelines, unless they are held for sale.

The investment manager should, however, estimate and disclose the amount of disposal costs likely to be incurred on the sale of properties, taking account of the intended method of exit, assuming an exit without duress and in the current market environment;

Set-up costs – description of impairment and reasons for booking if applicable;
Set-up costs – description of the reasons for departure from the five year amortisation period if applicable;
Acquisition expenses – description of impairment and reasons for booking if applicable;
Acquisition expenses – description of the reasons for departure from the five year amortisation period if applicable.
