CREDIT RISK MODELLING FOR IFRS 9

  • IFRS 9 fundamentally changes the way banks develop and use some of their credit risk models and the industry is currently running up against numerous methodological and practical issues in the preparation for compliance. Banks need to decide how they will run their projects and manage the ownership issues arising between risk and finance, as well as to what extent they can (and should) leverage their Basel models, before moving onto the methodological complexities around expected credit loss, the forward looking approach, and point in time modelling, on which an industry consensus is urgently required. Then there are the issues surrounding backtesting and validation, and ensuring you have enough of the right kind of data for your modelling projects. Surrounding all this, are the wider questions of how credit risk modelling is changing and the relationship between Basel and IFRS 9 going forward, which makes for a challenging and uncertain industry environment.

    This in-house training will give participants practical demonstrations of how industry leaders are developing and implementing the models required for IFRS 9. Detailed case studies will demonstrate the most effective ways of tackling some of the practical issues around implementation such as setting up and running IFRS 9 projects, stakeholder management between the risk and finance functions, and determining the approach to take to your models. Participants will also learn how their peers are defining some of the key terms and parameters around IFRS 9, ensuring they are on the same page as other key players when it comes to the three bucket approach and lifetime expected loss. This course employs a combination of instructor-led sessions, case studies, group exercises, scenarios and discussions.  

    GAIN INSIGHTS INTO BEST PRACTICE STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES INCLUDING

    • Determine what your approach to credit risk modelling should look like under IFRS 9
    • Get practical examples of how forward looking and point in time methodologies should look
    • Validate and backtest your IFRS 9 models effectively and overcome the data issues involved
    • Hear the latest updates on regulation and future challenges
