Q

When are Impairments done?

A
  • Expected Losses to be recognized at all times for: #IFRS9_5_5_1
    • Debt instruments measured at amortised cost - business modell held to collect
    • Debt instruments measured at FVtOCI - business model mixed
  • Additionally
    • Trade receivables and lease receivables (seperate model for calculation)
    • Other financial instruments subject to credit risk such as
      • irrevocable loan commitments
      • financial guarantee contracts

Q

What is the theoratical background for impairment?

A
  • Basis for proposal of new impairment rules - alignment of credit risk calculation and accounting treatment of expected losses
  • interest rate reflects initial credit loss expectations
  • when expected credit losses exceed those initially expected an economic loss is suffered
  • final standard
    • recognition of portion of expected credit losses initially
    • recognizing lifetime expected losses when significant deterioration in credit risk occurs

Q

What are the three stages of Impairment?

A

Stage 1
- No significant deterioration in credit quality
- Rating investment grade
### Stage 2
- Significant deterioration in credit quality
- Rating non investment grade
- Rebuttable presumption met if more than 30 days past due
- z.B. Restaurant während Covid, 30 Tage Zahlungsausfall aber generell gut gehend
### Stage 3
- Credit impaired or incurred loss has occured
- ECL to be updated at each reporting date for new information irrespective of whether financial instrument stays at the same stage

Q

What are the details regarding the second stage of impairment?

A
  • Assessment of (significant ) deterioration in credit quality - to be included #IFRS9_5_5_17a
    • Change in probability of default occurring (not change in expected losses) compared with initial recognition
    • Maturity to be included
    • Particular measurement methods not prescribed nor is it necessary to explicitly include PD as input
  • Operational simplifications
    • Recognize 12 month ECL if investment grade
    • Rebuttable presumption significant deterioration when payments are more than 30 days past due
    • Not necessary to assess for trade and lease receivables - special rules
  • Stage 2 kann ggf. auch übersichert sein

Q

What are the details regarding the third stage of impairment?

A
  • Credit impaired financial asset (Appendix A, defined terms ) objective evidence after occurance of one or more of the following events #Klausur
    • Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower
    • Breach of contract (default or past due event)
    • Concessions of the lender due to financial difficutlies of the issuer or borrower
    • Probability of bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
    • Disappearance of an active market for the asset (due to financial difficulties)
    • Purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount
  • Change in calculation interest from gross to net interest

Q

What information is to be used in Impairment?

A
  • # IFRS9_5_5_17c

    • Historical, current and reasonable and supportable forward looking information
    • Historical information to be updated
  • includes:
    • Borrower specific
    • Macro economic
    • Internal default rates and probabilities of default
    • External pricing
    • Credit ratings
  • estimation of credit losses
    • probability weighted outcome
    • time calue of money

Q

How is ECL calculated?

A
  • EL=EAD * PD * LGD
    • EAL= Exposure at default: book value development
    • PD= Probability at default: explicit requirement for point in time approach, consideration of forward looking developments required determination of multiple year PD
    • LGD= Loss given default: consideration of macro development required; prudent adjustments not permitted, even if used for mgt purposes; collateral type/use to be taken into account
    • DR= Discount rate: Lifetime expected losses using effective interest rate

Q

What is main difference between IFRS9 und IAS39 in impairment?

A

IAS39 basically no stage 2
stage 3 comes later

17
Q

What scenarios are included in ECL?

A

interpretation

  • requires model of economic cycles in countries of operation
  • different scenarios required
  • challenge: find source of macroeconomic models incl. stress testing on national/sub-national/regional basis that are internally consistent
  • ECL calc. probability weighted
  • starting point broad –> fundamental decision –> taking right scenario to start
  • different scenarios –> similar implications regardless
    # interpretation
  • different scenarios –> similar implications regardless
18
Q

What are POCIs?

A
  • Who buys it: specialized banks
  • credit-impaired at initial recognition (Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired, POCI) ( #IFRS9_5_5_13)
    • Recognition – acquired at discount reflecting incurred credit losses
      • not itself disqualify from being measured at amortised cost
    • Expectation on initial recognition
      • Debtor will not/not fully pay debts
  • Consequence
    • Always outside general model
    • High risk taken into account in FV at initial recognition
  • –> No loss allowance at initial recognition
19
Q

What is the subsequent measurement of POCIs?

A
  • loss allowance depends on (possibly) changing expectations about credit losses compared to expectations at initial recognition
  • Loss allowance recognised directly and only in P&L
  • Possibility to recognise a positive loss allowance if expectations improve compared to the expectations at initial recognition
  • POCI assets mainly expected in connection with modifications of nonperforming loans
    ### credit adjusted effective interest rate
  • obligatory use
  • no day one allowance on balance
  • no day one impairment loss recognised
  • allowance on balance –> changes in lifetime credit loss expectations
20
Q

What is meant with modification?

A
  • two main reasons
    • change of contract due to strong market position
    • change of contrafct due to financial problem
  • also e.g. government moratorium –> 3 month payment pause
  • no sense to have different stages for assets of same borrower
  • accounting rules for derecognition dont deal with modification
21
Q

How to fill a gap in IFRS?

A
  • # IAS8_10 bis #IAS8_12
  • absence of applicable IFRS
  • MGT judgement to develop accounting policy
    1. relevant to the economic decision-making need of users
    2. reliable, in that the financial statements:
      1. represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity;
      2. reflect economic substance of transactions, other events and conditions, not merely the legal form;
      3. neutral, i.e. free from bias;
      4. prudent;
      5. complete in all material respects“ ( #IAS8_10)
  • shall refer to and consider in descending order:
    • requirement in IFRS dealing with similar/related issues
    • definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the Framework “ ( #IAS8_11)
  • may also consider most recent pronouncements of other standard setting bodies with similar conceptual framework when not in conflict with above #IAS8_12
22
Q

What are the conclusions for Modification?

A
  1. No rules reg. modifications of contracts of financial assets in IFRS 9
  2. Rules governing equivalent questions in (other) regulations of IFRS to be applied
  3. IFRS 9 modification of contracts regarding financial liabilities
    –> #IFRS9_3_3_2 to be applied
    - Change of debt instruments with substantially different terms
    - Treatment: repayment of original financial liability, recognition of a new liability
    - Obligation to be applied and taken over for financial assets according to #IAS8_11a
23
Q

How to decide if Modification leads to derecognition?

A

Step 1: Did contractual CF expire?
- if completely yes: complete derecognition
- if partially yes: partial derecognition

Step 2: Applied to
- residual financial assets after partial derecognition
- financial asset before modification
Are Modifications substantial or not?
- if yes: full derecognition
- if no: adjust book value

24
Q

What is defined as substantially different terms?

A

IFRS9_B3_3_6

  • quantitative test -> 10%
  • qualitative test
    • Change of currency
    • Absence of a market for the asset (bond)
    • No conformity with SPPIcriteria after modification (for example equity kicker)
    • Change of nominal/maturity/colalteral
    • Prolongation/New repayment options
      ### Seperate line item
  • # IAS1_82aa
  • no derecognition in P&L
    • adjustment of impairment at date of derecognition
25
Q

How are Loan Comittment and financial Guarantee Contracts regarding Impairment?

A
  • In Scope for Impairment model
    • Remaining contractual period, or shorter, over which entity is exposed to credit risk to be considered (longest period is contractual period exposed to credit risk)
    • Expected credit losses presented as liability on the balance sheet
26
Q

What is meant with the simplified Impairment approach?

A
  • trade receivables / contractual assets –> not contain significant financing component
    • no need to calc. 12-month-ECL when significant increase of credit risk occurs
    • Lifetime ECL calc.
  • Lease rec/trade rec. with significant financing component –> #IFRS9_5_5_15 , #IFRS9_5_5_16 accounting choice to measure loss allowance at lifetime ECL on initial recognition
