IFRS 9: Post-implementation challenges for Internal Auditors, Risk Managers and Compliance professionalsDate 18 – 19 March 2019 Time: 09:00 – 17:00 Location – Tirana (to be defined)Course director: Nicholas ChristodoulouIntroductionIFRS 9 is having significant impact on the financial statements of banks and other financial institutions. It stands high on the agenda of many internal teams given its wider implications across governance, risks, controls and processes.Application of IFRS 9 requires a great degree of judgement and this is a significant impediment for internal auditors in a financial institution. For example, big banks will typically apply more sophisticated modelling methodologies than small credit institutions, in order to fulfil the same requirement of IFRS 9 related to the estimation of future expected losses. As a result, implementations will differ across institutions. Assessment then of the quality of IFRS 9 implementation will require from internal audit teams not only profound knowledge of the standard as such, but also the ability to put the standard’s requirement in the context of the institution and its risk management environment. This two-day seminar provides a comprehensive overview of the new financial reporting requirements contained in IFRS 9, which has become mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. It is specifically tailored to the needs of Internal Auditors and other non-accounting banking professionals, to sufficiently equip them with a thorough understanding of the new standard for them to factor the implications of IFRS 9 in their activities. It also aims to assist the internal teams to compare the current skill set with an ideal skill set (modelling, credit risk, and accounting).Course objectiveThe course aims to analyze and demystify the main principles and requirements of IFRS 9, with emphasis on practical application issues and potential problems in auditing and controlling processes and solutions developed in the process of IFRS 9 implementation.Target audienceInternal Audit, Risk Management, Compliance, Business Analysts.Content IntroductionIFRS 9 development process and reason behind substituting IAS 39 with a new standard on financial instruments accountingThe foundations of IFRS 9 Classification and measurementReview of key changes to classification of financial assets and financial liabilities as compared with IAS 39New categories of financial assets under IFRS 9 (AC, FVPL, FVOCI) IFRS 9 classification criteria:Business modelSPPI criterionTypes of financial assets, which will and will not pass the SPPI testModified time value of money and benchmark testsAccounting treatment of equity investmentsFinancial liabilities designated to presentation at fair value through profit or loss and presentation of entity’s own riskAllowed reclassifications between categoriesEmbedded derivatives under IFRS 9Impairment of financial assetsThe scope of the impairment requirements is now much broader. Previously, under IAS 39, loss allowances were only recorded for impaired exposures. Now, entities are required to record loss allowances for all credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss.The new standard outlines a ‘three-stage’ model (‘general model’) for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition The new requirements are designed to result in earlier recognition of credit losses, by necessitating a 12-month ECL allowance for all credit exposures. In addition, the recognition of lifetime ECLs is expected to be earlier and larger for all credit exposures that have significantly deteriorated (as compared to the recognition of individual incurred losses under IAS 39 today).The scope of application of impairment requirementsMain differences between the “expected loss model” featured by IFRS 9 and the previously effective “incurred loss model” required by IS 39The concept of expected lossesThe “general approach” and its logic12-month and lifetime expected lossesSignificant deterioration of credit riskAccounting treatment of assets in all stages of the general approachRisk scenarios and forward-looking informationAccounting for credit risk allowances and impairment interest on stages 1, 2, and 3Definition of “default”Rebuttable presumptions, practical expedients and simplificationsThe “simplified approach” and assets eligible for simplified treatmentPOCI assets and their accounting treatmentAsset modifications and their accounting treatmentCase studies and teamwork exercises will be supporting all the sessions.
