On 25 March, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued a public statement on the calculation of expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in the exceptional circumstances caused by the pandemic. The content of the statement is of particular importance in credit institutions’ financial reporting, but the content and guidance involved also apply in general to IFRS reporting by other companies. In ESMA’s view, the principles-based nature of IFRS 9 includes sufficient flexibility to faithfully reflect the prevailing exceptional circumstances in reporting.

The statement includes observations concerning the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk and the assessment of expected credit losses. In the assessment, attention should be paid to the exceptional temporary circumstances and their impacts on expected credit losses in an environment where forward-looking information is not reliable or available.

In addition, the statement draws attention to transparency. ESMA is of the view that companies should provide any additional information in financial reporting for investors to understand the overall impact of the pandemic on the financial position and performance of the company. This is particularly important for areas in which IFRS require that significant judgement is applied.

The IASB has published guidance on the application of IFRS 9 at its website.

The FIN-FSA also points attention to the following releases discussing financial reporting:
