IFRS 9 Accounting Standards: An Introduction
¢ IFRS-9 standards have been developed by IASB & FASB over the years after considering inputs from Banks, FIs, groups such G20, Financial Crisis Advisory Group
Mandatory Compliance Deadline January 1, 2018 > Need to Start Now
The new standards have replaced rule-based standards of IAS 39 and aims to closely align with risk management, as such management will apply considerable judgment in implementing the changes to IFRS
IFRS 9 introduces new classification category (FVOCI) for debt instruments. Also, incurred loss model of IAS 39 is replaced with forward looking Expected credit loss model. Impairment losses will be recognized sooner than under IAS 39
Various support groups being created to handle interpretational challenges: § ITG Meetings § Local Supervisor § Local banking
associations § CFO/CRO/Audit
Groups
Principle Based Approach instead of Rule Based
Inclusion of new accounting rules & Introduction of New Expected Credit Loss Model
Support Groups
IFRS-9 is mandated for institutions from annual periods on or after January 1, 2018. Considering the complexity of changes in systems & processes & data requirement, Banks would require minimum of 2 years for implementation & Dry run to ensure the readiness for 2018

Classification & Measurement
• Introduction of new measurement category ‘Fair Value through other comprehensive Income’ (FVOCI)
• Classification of instruments are now based on-
a) Entity’s Business Model
b) Contractual Cash flow characteristics
• New requirements for the accounting of changes in the fair value of an entity’s own debt where the FVO has been applied (own credit issue)
10
Overview of Classification & Measurement
IFRS 9
The classification is based on both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset
(i) Business Model Assessment
Based on the overall business, not instrument-by-instrument Entity’s business model determines whether financial assets are – a. Held to collect contractual cash flows b. Both held to collect contractual cash flows and selling of
financial assets c. FVTPL (not falling under the above two categories)
(ii) Contractual Cash Flow Assessment
Based on an instrument-by-instrument basis
Financial assets with cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

• IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 Incurred Loss Model with new Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model
• ECL model is applicable for instruments classified under Amortized Cost and FVOCI category (only for Debt)
• Need to incorporate forward-looking information (macro economic factors) for estimation of expected credit loss
• 3-Stage model for portfolio quality assessment & ECL estimation

IFRS9 ECL Framework
IAS 39 – Incurred Loss Model
Credit losses are recognized only on the occurrence of a loss event
IFRS 9 – forward-looking expected credit loss model
Recognizes 12-month loss allowance at initial recognition, and lifetime loss allowance on
significant increase in credit risk

Identification of indicators for increase in credit risk i.e. movement of an asset to Stage 2 from Stage 1, for calculation of lifetime expected loss is a key challenge:
Credit Deterioration Triggers
Change in internal credit spread (or risk premium) 1
CDS spread, equity or debt price 3
Actual or expected change in Internal Credit Rating or Behavioral Score 5
Actual or expected significant change in operating results of borrower 7
Regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower 9
Quality of guarantee 11
Expected change in loan documentation (covenant waiver, collateral top-up, payment holiday etc.) 13
Changes in bank’s credit management approach (or appetite) in relation to the financial instrument 15
Significant difference in rates or terms of newly issued similar contracts 2
Actual or expected change in External Credit Rating 4
Existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions 6
Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower 8
Collateral value 10
Reductions in financial support from parent entity or credit enhancement quality 12
Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of borrower or group 14
30-dpd rebuttable presumption 16
16
Expected Credit Loss (ECL)
¢ ECL is an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes
¢ The purpose of estimating expected credit losses is neither to estimate a worst-case scenario nor to estimate the best-case scenario. Instead, it shall always reflect the possibility that a credit loss occurs and the possibility that no credit loss occurs even if the most likely outcome is no credit loss.
¢ When making the assessment, an entity shall use the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses.
¢ Practical Expedients:
§ An entity may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date
§ Consider the reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
§ 30 days past due rebuttable presumption
§ Use of provision matrix to estimate ECL for trade receivables
¢ The discount rate to be used for the measurement of expected credit losses i.e. Effective Interest Rate (EIR) should be the same as the rate used for the purpose of interest revenue recognition
¢ Lifetime Expected Credit Loss or Significant increase in Credit Risk is a relative concept (from risk pricing perspective)
17
Lifetime ECL
¢ ¢ EAD and LGD estimates could also vary based on different time points. For an example, an amortized loan (mortgage
loan) as on 2015, will have lower LGD in 2017 compared to 2016 as the LTV will decrease (for simplicity assuming a single factor (LTV) based LGD model). EAD will also be lower in 2017 as compared to 2016.

Differences between Basel - IRB and IFRS 9
Basel – IRB Approach IFRS 9 Theme
Model Coverage (Partial Use)
Regulators allow exclusion of certain portfolio outside the treatment of IRB and can be under standardized approach
IFRS 9 doesn’t permit partial use of impairment models on the instruments which are identified under the scope
PD Calibration Estimates of PD represent probability of default over a 12 month horizon PDs are calculated on the basis of historical long-run average (TTC)
Multi-period estimation is necessary (for stage -1, 2 & 3) IFRS 9 requires Point in Time estimates (PiT), with inclusion of macro-economic factors
Loss Given Default (LGD)
Under FIRB supervisory LGDs are permitted to use, however under AIRB Downturn LGD estimation is required
IFRS 9 doesn’t provides complete clarity on LGD calculations. Regulatory LGDs can be the basis or Long run avg. /point in time LGDs estimates.
Excepted Credit Loss (ECL)
The Basel framework expected credit loss model looks through-the-cycle logic
IFRS 9 framework expected credit loss model looks more point-in-time logic to arrive at Lifetime Expected Credit Loss
19
Concept of Defaults and Predictions
PIT PD Estimates of PIT PD represent probability of default over a future horizon (typically 12 month) using statistical methods using recent historical data. Probability of Default of a borrower under PIT Framework will fluctuate in line with economic cycle.
TTC PD: TTC PD is calculated on the basis of historical long-run average historical default. Borrower TTC PD will not change due to economic conditions as long run average includes economic downturn effects.
12 Month Prediction: The PD model predicts default within the next 12 months. The 12 month horizon prediction is generally used for BASEL capital calculation or EL calculation.
Lifetime Prediction: Lifetime PD estimates cumulative probability of default over the life of a exposure . The prediction can be done either by using PIT PD or TTC PD framework. For IFRS 9, the lifetime PD should be calculated based on PIT PD.

(%) PD Term Structure
Binomial Movement Approach: Binomial movement approach assumes that the borrower will either default or will remain in its current credit quality. This approach assumes no transition in credit quality. The PD Term Structure under this approach is developed based on 1 year PD rate.
Credit Deterioration Approach:
Under this approach, it is assumed that in addition to default, borrower also has probability of moving to other credit rating grades (typically represented in the form of Transition Matrix). PD Term structure under this approach is developed through transition matrix multiplication.
BASEL Maturity adjustment Approach:
Basel III capital calculation formula (ASRF) uses a maturity adjustment formula to convert 12 month PD to Lifetime PD based on maturity of the exposure.
Multi year Transition Matrix Approach Under this approach, Banks needs to develop Transition Matrices for multiple years ( 1,2,3…). PD Term Strcuture can be developed directly by taking PD from these multi year Transition Matrices.

BCBS Guidance (d350) on ECL
¢ Supervisory expectations regarding sound credit risk practices associated with implementing and applying an ECL accounting framework (8 principles for banks & 3 for regulators)
¢ BCBS has significantly heightened supervisory expectations of the high quality, robust & consistent application of IASB standards at internationally active and sophisticated banks.
¢ Stress on ‘periodical supervisory prudential review’ of the methodologies adopted by various banks for ECL estimation.
¢ BCBS has not provided any exemption bucket for compliance to accounting standards, and therefore, all the lending exposures should be considered for ECL estimation.
¢ BCBS has recognized that supervisors across jurisdictions may adopt a proportionate approach with regard to the guidelines issued to banks of different scale and complexities.
¢ BCBS has explicated that due consideration should be given to the principle of materiality, and should not be assessed only on the basis of the potential impact on the P&L statement at the reporting date.
¢ BCBS expects that banks should have robust policies and procedures in place for validation of models, thus maintaining its rigor stance for model governance framework, consistent with the requirements for Basel II IRB purposes.
¢ Information Set: BCBS expects banks to develop systems and processes that use all reasonable and supportable information that is relevant to the group or individual exposure, as needed to achieve a high-quality, robust and consistent implementation of the approach. This will potentially require costly upfront investments in new systems and processes but the Committee considers that the long-term benefit of a high-quality implementation far outweighs the associated costs, which should therefore not be considered undue.
¢ Low credit risk: IFRS 9 introduces an exception to the general model in that, for “low credit risk” exposures, entities have an option not to assess whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition….In the Committee’s judgment use of this exemption by banks would reflect a low-quality implementation of the ECL model in IFRS 9.
¢ 30dpd rule for stage 2: BCBS would view significant reliance on past-due information (such as using the more-than-30-days-past-due rebuttable presumption as a primary indicator of transfer to LEL) as a very low-quality implementation of an ECL model.

Impairment Models: Portfolio Coverage & Model Inventory
High level review of portfolio coverage & IFRS9 suitability of credit risk models (PD, LGD & EAD), credit monitoring and stress testing models need to be performed
Portfolio Coverage & Model Inventory
¢ Basel allows partial use of IRB i.e. exclusion of certain portfolio outside the treatment of IRB Approach due to lack of internal models and the way out is to continue using standardized approach for them. However IFRS9 doesn’t permit partial use of impairment models on the instruments which are identified under the scope and a bank is required to produce risk estimates for all portfolios whether on individual or collective basis.
¢ Prepare an inventory of all existing models relevant to IFRS9 ECL framework such as credit rating models, credit risk scorecards, LGD, EAD, prepayment behavioral models, credit monitoring / early warning models, and macroeconomic stress testing models etc.
¢ All the relevant model documents, dataset and prior validation reports (if any) need to be collected for further assessment.

IFRS9 Architecture – Go Strategic or Tactical ?
With regards to IFRS9 compliance strategic roadmap, the key decision that bothers banks is whether the software architecture should be of a strategic integrated nature or one that is decoupled and modular ?
We propose to follow our 4Rs framework while trying to figure out whether a strategic, integrated solution is needed or a more tactical but modular solution:
¢ Readiness – How ‘ready’ are you with the expected credit loss computation methodologies? If you are not yet ready or believe methodologies are likely to evolve over time, then a modular approach may work best.
¢ Reflectiveness - User access and control is as much an important criteria as is automation. During this compliance exercise, in the initial stages, data availability for estimation of various risk components will be an issue. Banks will be required to check the data inputs and outputs for each of the underlying models used in the ECL computation so that validation, error resolution and judgemental overrides (based on management decision) could be performed at each level of ECL computation. There should be an ability to deliberate and ‘reflect’ upon various intermediate outputs.
¢ Redundancy - Are you already struggling to maintain a plethora of solutions that seemingly do very similar tasks? Yes, Redundancy is another major factor to be considered. Banks should look to leverage existing infrastructure like Basel II IRB infrastructure instead of creating another parallel infrastructure for IFRS9.
¢ Regularity - Are you looking to (re)generate ECL computation results on a daily basis? If the answer to the question is Yes, then indeed a fully integrated strategic solution is needed. However, in our experience, the frequency or regularity of usage is quarterly or maybe monthly at most. In such circumstances, traditionally, tactical modular architecture based solutions work better. Level of automation required for data feeds (Manual data upload or ETLs) should be based on cost-benefit analysis.
Organise stakeholder workshops to discuss key issues, pros/cons of both approaches in context of existing infrastructure and IFRS9 compliance timelines. Develop an ideal IFRS9 Architecture along with strategy for database and level of automation required at various levels.
