Ebook: How to Model and Validate Expected Credit Losses for IFRS 9 and CECL : A Practical Guide with Examples Worked in R and SAS

How to Model and Validate Expected Credit Losses for IFRS 9 and CECL: A Practical Guide with Examples Worked in R and SAScovers a hot topic in risk management. The IFRS 9 expected credit loss accounting principle (going live in 2018) and the US CECL standard (going live in 2020) require creditors to adopt a new perspective in assessing their credit exposures. The book explores the best modeling process, including the most common statistical techniques used in estimating expected credit losses. A practical Excel-based approach encourages non-technical professionals to grasp the key concepts required to understand, challenge and validate these models.

Additionally, the reader with broader modeling experience will benefit from a more technical dissertation accompanied with cases worked in SAS and R (the software packages most commonly used by credit risk managers to develop their models).
