First impacts on business side – Making business under the new framework
3 UniCredit S.p.A. – public
- More complex EL models
- Higher level of Provisions
accounted by most of the players
- Higher volatility in P&L
results
- Pricing models affected
- Risk processes/polices
affected
Some main impacts from IFRS9 affecting business
New Classification and Impairments rules not easy to understand, while sometimes requiring action by network Internal Training and Communication key to realize main drivers behind changes in LLP levels and P&L/Budget results Understanding new framework Need for business managers of closer relationship with some key stakeholders (Credit Department, Risk Management functions, Accounting support) Strengthening relationship Business-Credit functions New Impairment models put more emphasis on some risk related drivers that need to be taken more care of when assessing business feasibility and profitability, such as (e.g.):
- Portfolio balance
- Eligible guarantees
- Maturity
- Reimbursement schedule
- New breakeven level of pricing
Assessing business
- pportunities

- Stronger impact from credit risk
deterioration requires credit Monitoring processes to evolve in
- rder to be more timely and more
effective
- Behavioral credit models to evolve in
- rder to capture sign of significant
deterioration before Stage allocation criteria are breached
- Constant dialogue between business
manager and credit monitoring manager is key to timely address early warning signals
- Also reporting at top management
level needs to evolve in order to capture new drivers and manage volatility Credit monitoring process (Illustrative)

Workload
Increased number of activities and controls needed both on Risk and Accounting side, including additional calculations, elaboration of a bigger amount of data
Timing
Simply adding up new activities required to calculate LLPs under IFRS9 to the reporting process under IAS39, we could end up taking up to 50% more days to complete the process!
Interplay between risk and finance
CRO, CFO, GDO and IT to work together in order to streamline the process (vs Silos approach)

New model Stakeholders
- Who are our the new stakeholders and how did we get them comfortable with the new journey?
Lessons learned from the 1st implementation release of our IFRS 9 models
- Models embedded into an APIs (Application Programming Interface)
Reducing the avalanche of questions from the monthly reporting process!
- The team received 250 emails the first day the ECL calculation was switched on….

New model Stakeholders
Who are our the new stakeholders and how did we get them comfortable with the new journey?
- Business and Credit Heads review ECL reports
and provide sign-off
- Credit and Business review ratings and LGD as
well as Stage movements
- Credit Officers have now become Model Owners
to improve model ownership and responsibility
- Finance Head placed on the model sign-off
committee
- Financial Control has been given new tools to
review monthly Expected Credit Loss movements
- Clear model change request process with
- wnership forum
- We try to participate in hypothetical portfolio
exercises annually
- Model Add-on process to cover model
limitations where identified

- What’s an API?
In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools for building software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication among various components. A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.

Embedded models into Application Programming Interface (APIs)
Pros
- Can handle complicated calculations
- Code easily understood by modellers
Cons
- Distribution
Pros
- Can handle complicated calculations
- Code easily understood by modellers
- Web-based distribution
Cons
- API Documentation
Pros
- Easily Accessible tool
- Wide usage
Cons
- Difficult to run complicated calculations
- Version Control difficulties
- Weakness when used in Batch
Confidential
- What’s the issue?
- Calculations change month on month. Finance reconcile! Finance and Business feel they have lost
control.
- Let Financial Control and Reporting teams interrogate the monthly calculations
- Created a tool to enable users (Reporting teams and Financial control) to view changes in monthly
calculations.
- Show’s PD, macroeconomic, LGD, Stage and Expected Credit Loss changes as well as underlying
input changes.
