IFRS 9
Through model building or validation Principa will set you on the path to IFRS 9 compliance
We provide support for all your ongoing compliance tasks.
Since 1 January 2018, businesses and organisations are required to adhere to the International Finance Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9). This new Standard requires the recognition of credit loss allowances on initial recognition of financial assets, whereas under the previous Standard (IAS 39), impairment is only recognised at a later stage when a credit loss event has in fact occurred.
Principa is considered a market leader in matters relating to IFRS 9, having successfully completed numerous projects since 2016, providing solutions ranging from end-to-end provision model building and execution, to audit support, providing mentorships and model reviews.

Our Services
IFRS 9 Modelling
Our IFRS 9 modelling services include the provision of new models and amendments to existing models.
Audit-support
We support our customers during what could be described as the dauting auditing process, assisting them in addressing the various demands placed on them by audit firms. Principa has been involved in several projects that required engagement with a number of different audit firms and we are very familiar with the different IFRS 9-related interpretations and approaches.
IFRS 9 Mentorship
Through the Principa mentorship programme offering our analysts and consultants have navigated many customers through IFRS 9 and its complexities. Does your team of analysts need guidance in getting up to speed with IRFS 9? We train, coach, mentor, review and provide support to your team ensuring that they develop the necessary skills to become self-sufficient and efficient.
Provisioning Model Review
Has your IFRS 9 implementation already been audited? A further independent review by our team will ensure that your solution will pass compliance checks across auditors and that it adequately represents business needs, providing for the appropriate trade-off between business needs and the conservative application of IFRS 9 principles.
