Eagle’s accounting solution allows you to account for expected credit losses for a group or groups of assets within a portfolio/basis when you use US GAAP. Expected credit losses (EGL) result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. REPLACE: Under the impairment approach in IFRS 9, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized. Instead, an entity should always account for expected credit losses, and changes in those expected credit losses.
REPLACE: Under IFRS 9, expected credit loss applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, or financial assets measured at fair value-other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Therefore in Eagle Accounting, you can apply group-level expected credit losses only where the regulatory category on the accounting basis is amortized cost or FVOCI.
When accounting for group-level expected credit losses, you can:
Add a dummy asset ID to Reference Data Center (RDC) for ECL positions, so the system has assets specifically used for group-level ECL accounting.
Book ECL against domestic or foreign assets to capture all group-level accounting.
Book ECL against foreign assets where the accounting system properly differentiates between write-up and write-down and account for them differently to properly capture variations in FX rate.
Indicate the credit quality status (Stage 1 or Stage 2) of an ECL position for internal/external reporting.
Account for ECL holdings in Eagle Accounting valuation and capture any FX rate fluctuation in unrealized currency gain/loss to ensure all currency accounting is complete.
Cancel any ECL transaction so there is a way to eliminate incorrect transactions from Eagle Accounting.
Report on expected credit losses.
WRITERS NOTE: confirm valuation information is accurate. Change write-up and write-down terminology?
WRITERS NOTE: is group-level ECL the same thing as collective level ECL? why do we use 2 terms? can we say in the intro that they’re the same thing?
