IFRiSk 9 / CECL Calculator – instant access to flexible (Current) Expected Credit Loss calculation
The PwC IFRiSk 9 / CECL Calculator has been developed to support financial institutions with the (Current) Expected Credit Loss calculation. A powerful engine together with a simple interface enables users to quickly evaluate and compare expected loss under different scenarios.
IFRiSk 9 / CECL Calculator enables
- small and medium sized financial institutions to perform ECL / CECL calculations for regular reporting purposes;
- business users to perform ad hoc ECL / CECL analyses and stress-testing exercises;
- internal or external audits to challenge and verify the results produced by a solution already in place.
Our approach
IFRiSk 9 / CECL Calculator operates as a calculation engine that loads in the required parameters for all ECL / CECL components, i.e., PD, LGD, EAD, macro-economic forecasts and a portfolio snapshot at the reporting date and computes the resulting expected losses for each account.
