Short description: This two-day intensive seminar takes a practical approach to essential aspects of IFRS 9. Concepts are mastered through the heavy use of working examples and real-life case studies. For instance, significant increase in credit risk is covered analyzing BNP Paribas and UBS criteria
The first part of the program provides hands-on expertise on how financial assets and liabilities, and off-balance sheet items are recognised under IFRS 9. Each type of financial instrument is dissected by using working examples in which the accounting entries are covered in detail.
The main part of the program covers impairments with a special emphasis on key judgements such as:
- The criteria for determining significant increase in credit risk in practice, based on the criteria used by BNP Paribas and UBS
- The determination of scenarios, based on a benchmark analysis of how the main European banks are defining them
- The view from the regulator by explaining the criteria used by the ECB in its current IFRS 9 Asset Quality Review
- The new definition of defaults, based on the EBA definition
- An overview of the modelling challenges, by covering a case study on how one of the main European banks estimates 12-month and lifetime PDs from 12-month PDs, and the differences between models for retail and wholesale portfolios
- An overview of the IFRS 9 post-implementation challenges, and
- The elements of particular scrutiny by auditors.
