The impairment methodology is forward-looking, requiring the reporting entity to report the changes in credit risk of financial institutions in a consistent way with the credit risk measurement methods. Particularly, banks will move from 1 year EL to Lifetime EL.

This expert input focuses on the validation of Expected Credit loss model validation; more specifically, it explains why it is a good idea now, after the scramble to have IFRS 9 compliant models in time, to consider validation. This input addresses the challenges of a methodological review of all models, and more specifically, it addresses the review of selected variables – macroeconomic factors, obligor characteristics, etc. It shows how to make the best use of the new ability to compare the outcomes of the models against the observed losses. In addition, this article tackles another challenge: the review of data quality – particularly of the modelling data set and new data.
ReadThis Expert input delves into the new EBA definition of default that will apply as of January 2021. It examines who is going to be most impacted by the change and what is going to be the difference in the impact on institutions that use the IRB approach versus institutions that use the Standardised approach. It looks at the most substantial changes in the new definition – like the differences in unlikeliness to pay, past due criterion and the criteria for return to the non-defaulted status. Lastly, it addresses briefly the challenges related to the use of external data – particularly for those institutions that use IRB only.
