Baku, Azerbaijan, May 27

Trend:

EY has held a presentation on IFRS 9, an International Financial Reporting Standard, which has been promoted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRS 9 primarily covers accounting for the so-called financial instruments. Financial instruments are assets that can be traded, or they can also be seen as packages of capital that may be traded.

Generally, IFRS 9 contains three main facets: classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

The presentation organized by EY Azerbaijan in Baku focused specifically on methodology and automation perspectives of IFRS 9 impairment calculation in banking sector.

EY’s Financial Services is an integrated area that combines experienced professionals and IFRS 9 experts from many countries and across various

competencies. EY Azerbaijan invited Viktoriya Shmuratko and Polina Kyrushko from EY Ukraine practice to speak during presentation and share their extensive knowledge of IFRS 9.

Viktoriya Shmuratko said: “We understand the complexities, challenges and opportunities of implementing IFRS across multiple business units and diverse portfolios. Therefore, we made a special focus on methodology for ProVision – an automated tool for impairment calculation in line with IFRS 9. During discussions we realized that many banks in Azerbaijan have not yet developed automated tools for impairment calculations, so they found our presentation extremely useful. As a result, those who attended our presentation indicated that going forward Azerbaijani banks will now seriously consider adopting and using ProVision ”.
