IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss Modelling Masterclass

Expected credit loss modelling where implementations actually break — PD measurement, Stage 3 and NPLs, and estimating ECL when the economic climate turns hostile.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Expected credit loss is where accounting meets modelling, and it is where most IFRS 9 implementations creak: 12-month versus lifetime PD measurement, defaults and Stage 3, and the collision between international standards and local regulatory requirements on provisions. This masterclass provides in-depth analysis, application methodology and strategy for implementing IFRS 9 on financial instruments — including hedge accounting and the ECL treatment under stressed economic conditions. Participants work through implementation issues and case studies on practical application, tracking the interactions with IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 along the way. The cohort leaves knowing what was, what will be, and how to steer profits and risks on IFRS 9 numbers.

What you will do

Translate the accounting requirements of IFRS 9 into a model context, from classification through to provisioning.
Resolve the issues in 12-month and lifetime PD measurement, including the judgement calls the standard leaves open.
Align international accounting standards with local regulatory requirements on expected-loss provisions.
Work the critical problems of defaults, NPLs and Stage 3 — the places ECL implementations break first.
Steer profits and risks on IFRS 9 numbers with stress tests integrated into the ECL view.
Estimate ECL under crisis conditions, aligning accounting policy with reporting when the economy turns and pulling the impacts into interim reports.
Track the interactions between IFRS 9, 15 and 16, including the lease accounting component.

Who attends

  • Financial reporting and IFRS reporting teams
  • Credit risk and model creation teams

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?

Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.

Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?

Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.

How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?

Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.

Can a programme run in-house for our bank?

Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
