Calculating expected credit loss can be complex. But it doesn’t have to be
IFRS 9 requires lenders to add a greater degree of analytical rigour to how they calculate expected credit loss (ECL). Adapting existing ECL models (or creating them from scratch) can put an immense amount of strain on your organisation from a cost and resource perspective. What’s more, using inaccurate figures can result in you making unnecessarily high provisions as well as it being detrimental to the strategic planning process.
Experian’s IFRS 9 Credit Loss Insight (ICLI) solution enables you to comply with regulation by utilising economic scenarios alongside credit data to determine a more accurate ECL figure.
