Readiness and Test Approach
This document provides an overview of the readiness, testing and implementation approach for APRA-regulated funds and their intermediaries to support the implementation of the Member Account Attribute Service (MAAS) in 2017/18.
September 2017

2. Member Account Attribute Service
Overview
The Member Account Attribute Service (MAAS), also known as the Super Member Information Service, supports the redesign of Member Contributions Statement (MCS) reporting to allow real-time reporting of member account phases and attributes, including the Lost Member Statement (LMS) functionality.
MAAS facilitates Superannuation Fund interactions with the ATO for a Fund user to:
Request ATO held details of a member (Provision of Details) - SPRMBRINFO get
Notify of a new, updated, or closed member account (Maintain Member Account Attributes) - SPRMBRINFO submit

6. MAAS Conformance Suite
The ATO-provided Conformance Suite contains everything necessary for Digital Service Providers (providers of MAAS software) to complete requests in a test environment prior to deploying into Production. This includes:
AUSkey Test Credentials
Sample Members and associated details
Test Scenarios to get and submit details for Sample Members
Digital Service Providers must be registered for SBR2 development prior to commencing conformance testing for MAAS.
The ATO Onboarding Team (OBT) is available assist Digital Service Providers with implementing MAAS and will be seeking readiness information in the lead-up to EVTE release.

7. Fund Onboarding Readiness & Adoption
MAAS is a service, similar to SuperMatch 2 and SuperTICK 3, so:
ATO will be seeking confirmation from Funds of the MAAS Software Provider they’ll be using (to understand coverage and associated readiness)
ATO needs to understand the Digital Service Provider software test and release dates, as well as the implementation dates for the Funds (to understand take-up)
ATO will continuously monitor adoption in both EVTE and Production for Digital Service Providers and Funds

8. Whitelisting
Similar to onboarding activities for existing services such as SuperMatch 2 and SuperTICK 3, Digital Service Providers will need to demonstrate successful completion of the MAAS Conformance Suite prior to being whitelisted in Production. Following successful whitelisting, MAAS will be available in Production for the successful Digital Service Provider. Testing is not permitted in the Production environment. Funds will not need to be whitelisted – only the Digital Service Provider. SuperStream Delivery will liaise with Funds to assist with meeting conformance obligations.

9. Business Deployment Verification (BDV)
As part of standard ATO deployment-proving practices, one or more Digital Service Providers may be requested to perform limited production batches in conjunction with a Fund in a highly- monitored state to prove successful deployment of all affected ATO services. More details will be shared as we get closer to the date.
