Frequently asked questions
What is the IFRS 9 expected credit loss model?
IFRS 9 requires provisions based on expected, not incurred, losses using a three-stage approach and the components PD, LGD and EAD, with forward-looking information factored in.
What are the three stages under IFRS 9?
Stage 1 is performing (12-month ECL), Stage 2 is a significant increase in credit risk (lifetime ECL), and Stage 3 is credit-impaired (lifetime ECL on a net basis). We set defensible criteria for each.
Do I need PD, LGD and EAD if my data is limited?
Yes, but the methods scale to your data. For thinner portfolios we use simplified, well-documented approaches that still meet IFRS 9.
Can you validate a model we already have?
Yes. We independently review the assumptions, logic and documentation and recommend improvements.
Will the model pass audit?
We build the workings and documentation specifically so your auditors and regulators can follow and sign off the provision.
