"Why did our provision increase this quarter? Is it due to a model change or a real shift in our portfolio's credit risk?".

The final IFRS 9 Expected Credit Loss (ECL) number sits on your desk. It’s one of the most significant figures on your balance sheet, yet it can feel like the most unpredictable.

The board meeting is next week. The external auditors arrive next month. You’re once again preparing to explain the volatility, justify the assumptions, and defend a complex model that can feel like a "black box," even to you.

As a leader in finance, your role isn’t always to run the models yourself. Your role is to lead with authority, challenge with precision, and explain with clarity.

But can you do that with 100% confidence if you don't have an intuitive grasp of the core methodologies driving the numbers?

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

Master the General Approach Blueprint: Gain a clear roadmap for applying the 3-stage model and confidently assess Significant Increases in Credit Risk (SICR) to avoid costly misclassifications.

Understand What Makes  Effective Forward-Looking Models: Learn the key insights required to guide your team in and explaining the results of forward-looking models to your board.

Drive Meaningful Portfolio Segmentation: Understand the best practices for classifying your assets based on shared risk characteristics, ensuring the resulting ECL model is precise, accurate, and easier to govern.

Establish a Defensible LGD Framework: Move your team beyond guesswork. Gain the insights to oversee the creation of a structured framework for estimating Loss Given Default (LGD) that is evidence-based and stands up to auditor scrutiny.
