IFRS 9 will require significant changes to banks' accounting practices and risk management policies to timely recognize expected credit losses. It will impact governance, policies, processes, data and systems. Banks should treat implementation as a transformation program with three phases - assess current state, design new state, implement changes. This will require involvement from multiple teams across the bank to develop new methodologies, models, and governance around credit risk, impairment forecasting, and more. While the changes are substantial and timeline is tight, proper planning and cross-functional collaboration can help banks successfully complete IFRS 9 implementation.

IFRS Implementation and how the banks should approach it.
Though the final version of IFRS came up in 2014, the banks across the globe have recently embarked the journey. Any new regulation requires significant effort to revisit its existing governance, policies & processes, data and the systems and IFRS 9 is no different.
Strategic implications of IFRS9 oliver wymanGeoff Holmes
IFRS9 will fundamentally change the level and dynamics of credit provisions, and will result in significantly diminished returns for some segments. To date, most banks have focussed on ensuring compliance, but with the 2018 implementation deadline approaching attention is turning to understanding and mitigating the impacts.
IFRS9 materially impacts lending economics, particularly for consumer credit and SME products where some segments will be significantly less attractive than today. Given all lenders are affected, this represents a challenge and an opportunity. Those who develop their responses early and optimise their actions stand a good chance of getting ahead of the competition.

Develop and execute a roadmap to meet rising regulatory and stakeholder expectations. Banks of all sizes are required to build sophisticated analytical risk management capabilities in compliance with Dodd-Frank and other legislation making a priority of optimizing the deployment of capital and infusing objectivity into its allocation.
Continuing with our updates on the key aspects of IFRS 9 Implementation, our current post (attached) talks about “Impairment Modelling in Retail ” where, key challenges are highlighted through questions and different solutions are proposed to address the same. The post attempts to address some key implementation challenges such as; Which approach to follow for analysis of retail portfolios?, What timeframe to consider for estimating lifetime of retail products?, How to link forward looking information with PDs? How to carry out Stage Allocation? And, what are the methods for calculation of ECL for Retail Portfolios?
Banks are scrambling to meet with IFRS 9 guidelines and are setting down on the path to implement various ECL estimation methodologies and models. But a topic that hasn’t been given enough attention is the need for governance of these models and the attendant model risk management framework that needs to be set up to lend credibility to the model estimates. This blog touches upon the need for validation of models and how model risk governance has become paramount in view of the new guidelines.
As the methodologies for IFRS 9 Implementation are still evolving, many banks are in the process of developing a roadmap towards implementation and are still evaluating methodologies that are likely to conform to the principles of proportionality and materiality. To this end, Banks being advised are to develop a Target Operating Model (TOM) design, which seeks to identify and document the work program required to meet IFRS 9 requirements on Impairment modelling and ECL estimation.

ScenarioBranson Ltd. is a public listed tour company that is bas.docxjeffsrosalyn
Scenario
Branson Ltd. is a public listed tour company that is based in Melbourne. One of its main operating businesses is to provide tourists with hot-air balloon flights over the city. As their current balloons are due to be retired, they must decide whether to replace them with a large or small model. New balloons have an expected life of 8 years, after which salvage values are $70,000 for the large balloons and $45,000 for the small balloons. Market research has estimated that there is a 60% probability that demand will be high throughout the useful life of the balloons, and a 40% probability that demand will be low throughout the useful life of the balloons.
The large model is expected to cost $900,000, with an extra installation and shipping cost of $80,000. The small model is expected to cost $650,000, with an additional installation and shipping cost of $45,000. The company's accounting policy is to depreciate using the reducing balance approach of 20% per annum.1 There is also an initial increase in net working capital of $70,000 for the large model, and $40,000 for the small model. The net working capital is recoverable at the end of their useful life.
In the event of high demand, the company expects a yearly operating revenue of $800,000 for the large model, and a yearly operating revenue of $330,000 for the small model. If the demand is low, yearly operating revenue is forecasted to be $700,000 for the large model and $280,000 for the small model. Annual variable and fixed costs associated with operating these balloons are expected to be $400,000 for the large model and $150,000 for the small model. In addition, if the large model is preferred over the small model, the company needs to rent an additional warehouse to store the large balloons. A new warehouse’s rental cost is expected to be $150,000 per year. At the end of year four, there is also an option to cease operation and thus sell the large balloons for $500,000 and the small balloons for $400,000 if the business is not profitable.
The company requires you to calculate an appropriate discount rate using the company’s weighted average cost of capital. The company’s capital structure has remained fairly stable, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.2. The company has no plan to adjust its capital structure in the future. Given that the company is listed on the stock exchange, you are able to obtain the historical returns over the last 20 years for the company, the market portfolio and the risk-free asset as tabulated in Table 1. The company debentures have a face value of $1000 and a coupon rate of 10%. They mature in 10 years' time. Similar debentures are currently yielding 12%. The company tax rate is 30%.
1 As discussed in Week 5, ignore residual value in the calculation of yearly depreciation.

One of the most challenging regulatory changes for finance in decades is here with only three years remaining for compliance, with significant impacts to insurers.
IFRS9 is a new international accounting standard that will affect debt owners, including mortgage lenders and Special Purpose Vehicles, from January 2018. It will replace IAS39.
At present under IAS39, lenders need to calculate an expected loss value for just those accounts that are impaired. Under IFRS9, a lender must reassess the probability of any of their customers defaulting and the resulting expected losses for all exposures - and this will need to be carried out each reporting period.
This white paper explains the challenges IFRS9 presents and how HML’s can help lenders and SPVs with accurate provisioning.
In many modern major enterprises, financial controllership functions have been just that – functional. Generally focused on managing risk, they have included technical accounting and financial reporting support, the implementation and maintenance of accounting standards, the management, simplification and improvement of processes and the guardianship of internal controls. Insightful controllership provides an entirely new way of looking at financial controllership.
EBA definition of Default intended to harmonize the default flag across the EU. All the financial institutions under the scope of CRR will have to implement the new definition of default.

Abstract
The Resource-Event-Agent (REA) model is a way to deal with conceptualizing the semantics of Fina Calculated models of undertakings can be utilized for both business procedure demonstrating and the genuine structure of automated data systems. The Resource-Event-Agent (REA) model, an area explicit structure for deciding the data engineering of bookkeeping and endeavor data frameworks, has fundamentally been utilized for plan purposes. In this paper we investigate the utilization of REA for business process modeling. At first, we talk about how REA natives are utilized to portray the esteem included change of assets all through the venture. Next, we break down some troublesome determination issues that identify with business procedure displaying when all is said in done and to REA designing answers for these issues. We finish up the paper with the detail of a three-layer engineering that abridges the REA way to deal with business procedure demonstrating: (I) endeavor level determination, (ii) REA-based procedure depictions, and (iii) task-level or work process specifications. The design demonstrates that work process portrayals can be identified with the detail of the venture esteem chain through the mode of REA data structures’ trades, for example, bookkeeping exchanges. The REA model is an ISO standard.

COVID-19 — Managing executive pay and incentives in uncertain times 2
In a matter of three months, COVID-19
has rapidly transformed from a local
virus outbreak to a global pandemic.
While the stress it has put on society
at large and healthcare systems
around the world is unprecedented,
it has also almost brought the global
economy to a grinding halt.
This slowdown is likely to be prolonged, and given the
scale and severity, businesses need to adapt quickly. In the
short term, organizations will need to adopt some cost-
containment measures, and rethink their cash flows and
working capital requirements.
An important piece of the jigsaw for organizations from
this perspective is remuneration. Often constituting one
of the largest “controllable” costs, organizations need to
undertake careful planning to retain, reward and motivate
employees through this crisis.
Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, several companies
in Singapore, and around the globe, are already
implementing executive pay reductions in the form of
salary freezes and voluntary pay cuts or reduction and
deferral of bonuses. These include Marriott, Lyft, BT,
Santader, Singtel, SATS, SP Group, Singapore Airlines and
Temasek Holdings, among others.
While the overall financial impact of executive pay cuts on
the company’s bottom line is likely to be limited, such cuts
are critical from a leadership, perception and messaging
perspective. At a time when share prices are plunging and
as companies may need to consider headcount reductions,
executives cannot be seen as financially insulated.
From a remuneration standpoint, however, most senior
executives are paid significant proportions of their total
compensation through performance-linked variable pay
awards — both cash and equity. These awards are bound to
be dramatically affected by the slowdown.
To put this in perspective, senior executives in Singapore
typically receive between 40% and 70% of their total pay in
performance-linked incentives, up to half of which could be
in long-term, equity-based vehicles. In comparison, most
other employees only receive between 10% and 20% of their
total pay in incentives — usually as annual cash bonuses.
It ’s now become critical for organizations to effectively
navigate and manage variable pay components by trying
to balance the affordability aspects with fairness to ensure
that motivation and productivity levels do not drop —
which can arguably have a major enduring impact on
business performance.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

James Okarimia - IFRS Implementation and How the Banks should Approach IT.
1. James Okarimia - IFRS Implementation and How the Banks should
Approach it.
Though the final version of IFRS came up in 2014, the banks across the globe have
recently embarked the journey. Any new regulation requires significant effort to
revisit its existing governance, policies & processes, data and the systems and IFRS 9
is no different.
There have been multiple articles analyzing the scope and requirements covered under
IFRS in great detail. Hence, I would like to touch upon the requirements and scope of
IFRS implementation and set the context in this publication; I shall primarily share
my personal view as a risk practitioner on how the banks should approach it and be
able to meet the timeline of 2018.
Background & Scope:
IASB, in the form of its final version of IFRS published during July 2014, provides
with guidance to establish a single, uniform standard for classification and
measurement of financial assets based on the business model and cash-flow
characteristics. The primary objective is to align the bank’s risk management policies
with its accounting practice. The banks are expected to timely recognize expected
credit loss and factor that into provisions using forward-looking technique.
The scope of IFRS includes the instruments in scope for IAS 39. In addition to that, it
includes certain contracts that the banks categorize as ‘own-use’ and thereby book
2. gains through profit or loss in case of credit rating downgrade while measuring at fair
value.
A quick comparison with IAS 39 shows that the changes are primarily in the
following three aspects –
Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Impairment Methodology
Hedge Accounting
Approach to IFRS Implementation
I would suggest that a regulation like IFRS will have an organization-wide impact on
governance, policies and process, data and finally on the systems. Hence, like all other
major regulatory compliance engagements, it should be treated as a transformation
program and should be broken down into three distinct phases – Assess, Design and
Implement.
IFRS requires capabilities across multiple dimensions and hence multiple work
streams are to be developed.
3. Now, let us take a deeper look at the impacted areas at which the three different tracks
should focus on. This is not a comprehensive list rather an indicative one.
Governance
Organization structure – This will require involvement of multiple teams. Especially
teams of CFO, CRO and CIO will have to align their work together. Initiative should
be driven from top and executed from bottom.
Roles & Responsibilities – CFO and CRO teams will need to take responsibility to
reconcile finance and risk data related to exposure and loss. CRO team will own the
credit risk models and scorecards. CIO team will facilitate the system implementation
around these areas.
Policies and Methodology
Policies & Procedures
Credit Policy including credit rating and collateral management & valuation
Credit risk management policies including provisioning norms and recovery policy
Liquidity risk policies especially for contractual cash flow aspect
Accounting Policies
4. Develop Business model for certain financial assets
Methodology
Impairment model methodology
Review methodology for PD models primarily to adjust from ‘Through-the-cycle’ PD
to ‘Point-in-time’ PD.
Review LGD and EAD methodology
Methodology to estimate Effective Interest Rate (EIR) to apply Time value of money
for ECL calculation
Methodology for impairment forecasting & stress testing based on adverse economic
scenarios
Models
Credit Risk Application and Behavioral Scorecards by business segments
Pricing models
Point-in-time PD model
LGD / EAD models
Behavioral life
Data
Data requirement will significantly increase both in terms of length and breadth.
While additional attributes and more granular information will be required for proper
classification of assets and credit quality, more historical data will be required to build
impairment models. Following is an indicative list of data set required for IFRS.
5. Challenges
IFRS implementation will not be too easy considering the steep timeline, wide
organizational impact, data requirements & data quality and the complexities
involved.
Timeline
The banks that embarked on the journey now or are planning to start might need to
plan extremely well to complete in time as most of the banks think that it takes at least
2.5 to 3 years to complete this.
Wide impact
Impact is extensively wide and much beyond impairment or P&L to all the factors
contributing to value of the entity such as market position, reputation etc.
Data requirements
Like any other regulation compliance, IFRS implementation is data intensive driven –
data governance and data quality will be the key.
Complexity
Lifetime expected loss impairment models will require significant change in modeling
methodology; complexity will also arise due to involvement of multiple stakeholders
and their conflicting priorities.
IFRS Changes Impacting Banks and Implementation Design
6.
7. Conclusion
IFRS implementation will definitely not be easy within the time-frame – but proper
planning and efficient execution can still make it happen. There is no time left, hence
the banks should immediately start with right earnest. Senior management will have to
drive it from top and CFO, CRO and CIO will need to align in their efforts and
initiatives.
The people driving it will require training and mandate to execute it on ground - Risk
and Finance domain expertise with experience of Data Management and Analytics
will be the skills that would make it a successful program.
