IFRS 9 adoption deadline has passed and lenders must now follow updated EBA expectations for loss analysis. Effective IFRS 9 validation requires data quality assessment, model design evaluation, and output performance evaluation with comprehensive documentation. Meeting IFRS 9 requirements involves ongoing assessment of credit models, assumptions, benchmarks, and credit processes with quantitative and qualitative reviews. Experian can help lenders with automation, governance, documentation, and best practices for credit risk management.
