Book Collective/Group-Level ECL Transactions for IFRS

In the Book ECL Collective Level panel, you can manually enter collective/group-level Expected Credit Loss (ECL) transactions for securities with a processing security type of Expected Credit Loss Group (ECLGRP) when you use IFRS. You can process collective/group-level ECL for an IFRS accounting basis only when the regulatory category is Amortized Cost (AC) or Fair Value - Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).

You can:

Book ECL at a collective/group-level for a group of domestic or foreign/denominated investments. The collective/group-level ECL for foreign denominated investments is established by local currency.
Book ECL against foreign assets where the accounting system properly differentiates between increases and decreases, and accounts for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate. Increases for foreign denominated collective/group-level ECL allowances are calculated for base amounts by applying the current FX rate. For decreases for foreign denominated collective/group-level ECL allowances, the base amount is reduced by the proportional decrease in the local ECL allowance.

Collective/group-level ECL transactions are basic-specific events. These transactions/events process only on the accounting basis you specify in the panel, even in cases when the entity has more than one accounting basis. After you enter the local expected credit loss amount, the panel uses the current local-to-base exchange rate to calculate the base allowance amount for ECL transactions where the security is foreign denominated. Eagle Accounting can differentiate between increasing expected credit lossses for a dummy asset and decreasing expected credit losses for a dummy asset, and accounts for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate. For more information, see Collective/Group-Level ECL Examples for IFRS.
