Reasons for replacement of IAS-39- Cont… • The criticism on IAS-39, in brief : • Fair value accounting was said to have created cycles of accounting write downs and distressed selling of assets during the Crisis • The application of IAS-39 impairment model for loan loss provisions results in delayed recognition of credit losses • The over complexity of IAS-39 such as mined valuation models, multiple impairment approaches, complicated category transfer rules and hedge accounting requirement. By Hassan Marfani, ACA

IFRS-9 Classification and Measurement – Un-quoted Equity Instruments • No cost exemption for unquoted equity instruments all equities at fair value • Cost may be used as a proxy for fair value in certain circumstances • Indicators of when cost might not represent fair value • A significant change in the performance of the investee • Changes in expectation that technical milestones will be achieved • A significant change in the market for the investee company or its products • A significant change in the global economy or the economic environment • A significant change in the observable performance of comparable companies, or in the valuations implied by the overall market. • Internal matters such as fraud, commercial disputes, or litigation, or changes in management or strategy. • Evidence from external transactions in the investee’s equity, either by the investee (such as a fresh issue of equity), or by transfers of equity instruments between third parties.

Impairment of Financial Assets Under IFRS 9 By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Background In response to the reporting issues highlighted by the Global Financial Crisis, a Financial Crisis Advisory Group (FCAG) was setup in October 2008 The objective of FCAG was to advice IASB and US FASB to bring improvements in the financial reporting standards that could enhance investor confidence in the financial markets The FCAG, in its report published in July 2009, identified delayed recognition of loan losses as one of the primary weaknesses in the accounting standards and recommended to explore alternatives model which is more forward looking By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Incurred Loss Model under IAS-39 Interest income is recognized over the period of the loan on the basis of contractual cash flows (Effective interest method) Impairment is recognized only when there is a objective evidence of impairment i.e. when a loss event has occurred It may argued that interest income is overstated in periods before a loss event occurs because it is inherent in the nature of assets that certain credit losses will occur By Hassan Marfani, ACA
ExpectedLossModelofIFRS 9 The impairment requirements applies to debt instruments such as loans, debt securities, bank deposits, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. Under the expected loss model impairment is recognized over the life of assetson the basis of future expected loss events In other words, impairment allowance is made even before there any objective evidence of impairment or occurrence of default event The scope of impairment requirements, therefore is much broader and are designed to result in earlier recognition of credit losses This model will potentially address the concerns about IAS 39 incurred loss model i.e. too little and too late By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Overview of Expected Loss Model of IFRS 9 3 stage model which recognizes impairment over time based on changes in credit quality since origination of loans Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Performing Under-performing Non-performing Loans with low credit risk and with no significant increase in credit risk since origination Loans for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition Loans with objective evidence of impairment
The key change brought by IFRS 9 is in relation to the accounting provisions for loan losses which are required to be made using expected loss model under the IFRS 9. Currently, loan loss provisions are made when there is an objective evidence of impairment (i.e. incurred loss model). This is a fundamental shift in provisioning. IFRS 9 Credit Impairment Overview

IFRS 9 Credit Impairment OverviewExpected Credit Loss 2 3 1 • ECL = PD x LGD x EAD Risk Parameters 1 2 3 • PD • The probability of defaulting if you haven’t already • LGD • The forecasted economic loss if the default happens • EAD • The forecasted exposure at each point in time • Discount factor (EIR) By Hassan Marfani, ACA
IFRS 9 Credit Impairment OverviewSteps Involved Portfolio Segmentation and Staging Step 1 Determination of Exposure at default (EAD) Step 2 Determination of segment wise PDs Step 3 Estimation of LGD Step 4 Computation of ECL and Scenarios Step 5 By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Key Challenges • Revocable and Irrevocable commitments • Credit Conversion Factors Estimation • Behavioral analysis of revolving facilities • Lack of availability of historical data of 5 to 7 years • Determination of statistically significant relationship between Macro-economic factors and defaults ratio • Economic LDG rather than collateral based LGD • Lack of availability of historical recovery data for credit portfolio to compute workout LGD • Allocation of collateral amongst facilities • Discounting of future cash flows By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Implementation Challenges By Hassan Marfani, ACA
Challenges for Modaraba and/or Leasing Sector while adopting IFRS-9 • Since recycling of Gain for equity instruments is not allowed under FV through OCI category, realized gain will not be distributed to certificate holders. • Impairment model as suggested in IFRS-9 uses proactive approach which has more inclination towards risk assessment side, historical data and economic indicators which create following challenges for Modaraba/leasing sector: • Lack of Human Resource with relevant expertise • Dealing of Modaraba/leasing sector in SME sector posing risk of non availability of relevant data for assessment of credit risk • Categorizing any financing as stage1 or 2 is always a subjective matter raising difference of opinions b/w Mgt. and auditors • Cost Constraints • Initial impact on profitability By Hassan Marfani, ACA
