Statutory Disclosures

Given the inherent risk associated, use of the management overlays and the nature of the business and size of the facilities, we deemed the expected credit loss allowance to be a key audit matter. Related Disclosures Refer to notes 10, 15, 16 and note 2.7 (accounting policies), 3 (Significant accounting estimates and judgements) and 4.1 (financial risks) of the accompanying financial statements. Audit Response Our audit procedures in respect of this key audit matter included: • We discussed and understood from management the impairment process, governance, approval and implementation of the ECL model. • We used our IT Specialist and discussed with management to assess the completeness, accuracy and validity of data and inputs used during the development and application of the ECL models scoped; Consumer Finance Agreements (“CFA”), Personal Loans and Finance Leases. • We obtained and tested loan arrears reports and ensured all those arrears exceeding 90 days past due were included in the impaired portfolio category for specific impairment assessment. • We assessed proper staging of all financial asset portfolios. • We obtained explanation for customers on caution lists and assessed their staging. • We engaged with our credit specialist and: – Gained an understanding of the nature of the underlying loans in the loan portfolio. – Reviewed the updated ECL methodology for compliance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments principles and best practice. – Reviewed and reperformed the management ECL revised model calculations for accuracy and consistency with the updated ECL methodology. – Obtained the appropriate management data and performed the relevant procedures to prepare the management data for the challenger ECL model using independent inputs (PD, LGD, EAD, Credit Conversion Factor (“CCF”) and forward-looking macro economic factors). • We reviewed minutes of Risk Management Committee to identify any matter relating to ECL such as inputs used in calculation of post model management adjustments. • We performed an analytical review and analysed year on year variances and movement in ECL and linked to movement in facilities and obtained explanations from management. • Where exposures are collateralised, we evaluated the Company’s legal rights to the collateral, as well as the appropriateness of the valuations of the collateral in relation to ECL determination, and the linking of collateral to the corresponding accounts. • We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in the financial statements for compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards including disclosures on significant inputs.
