Expected Credit Loss Model for Loans and Receivable

The Auditor identified Expected Credit Loss Model for Loans and Receivable as one of the audit issues
because it requires significant management judgement on the interpretation and implementation of the
requirements stated in PFRS 9 particularly in assessing impairment losses on an ECL model. It involves
high degree of estimation uncertainty related to management's use of various inputs and assumptions
applied in ECL model which may be affected by management's estimation bias. Lastly it requires
complex estimation process that entails implementation of internal controls and use of information
system in ensuring the completeness and accuracy of data used in the ECL calculation and in the
preparation of required disclosures in the financial statements.

To address the issue the auditor obtained an understanding of the Group's and the Parent Company's
accounting policies and methodologies applied. They also evaluated whether those are established and
implemented consistent with underlying principles of PFRS 9, if the companies polices and methodology
are appropriate in the context of the Group's lending activities and asset portfolio that takes into
consideration the different segments of credit exposures and the relevant regulatory framework and,
are supported by pertinent processes and controls, including estimation applied in the development of
the ECL model.

required by BSP.
