Impairment under IFRS 9
Overview
Financial instruments are pervasive across all reporting entities and even more so in the financial services sector. In the nineties, there were a lot of problems with the accounting for financial instruments. In response to that the IASB issued IAS 39. However, the global financial crisis of 2008 has shown us that simplifications to the complex IAS 39 were necessary, so the IAS 39 has been replaced by IFRS 9 effective as of 1 January 2018. There are a number of IFRS standards that are relevant to financial instruments.
This e-learning module provides the fundamentals relating to impairment under IFRS 9 financial instruments and introduces the participants to new concepts under IFRS 9 such as the expected credit loss model, but also insight into differences in impairment under IFRS 9 compared to IAS 39 and disclosures needed around impairment as required by IFRS 9.
Different modules in the IFRS for Banks curriculum cover the different subtopics of IFRS 9 (classification, measurement, impairment and hedge accounting). In this e-learning the focus is on the requirements for impairment and an overall understanding based on the other modules is expected for this e-learning.
This course will enable you to:
Identify the differences between the IAS 39 impairment model and IFRS 9 expected credit loss (ECL) model
Obtain a basic understanding of the calculation of expected credit losses
Understand the disclosure requirements for expected credit losses viewed from different stakeholder groups
Understand the main implementation issues
