Expected credit loss model

Hhuma5y ago
As per IFRS 9, non payment is a indicator that outstanding receivable are credit impaired. A loss allowance should be recognized equal to difference between gross carrying amount of receivables and PV of expected future cashflows receivable. Any increase or decrease in loss allowance is charged to PNL Sir is the above para referring to stage 3 of expected credit loss model? Secondly, loss allowance is stage 3 is recognized at PV of losses that arise because borrower defaults on their obligation throughout life of financial instrument OR is loss allowance in stage 3 is recognized equal to difference between gross carrying amount of receivables and PV of expected future cashflows receivable. Any increase or decrease in loss allowance is charged to PNL?

Stage 2 and 3 are more or less the same - compare the previous allowance with the new allowance and write the difference off in the P&L. Keep it simple in the exam, as always. :) More importantly, remember that you don't use the 3 stage model for trade receivables.

1. Because the standard says so (unless trade receivables have a significant credit element). 2. What you've written is fine.
