The economy is made up of different sectors that thrive
towards unified goals. Goals to have an efficient economy to best
serve the people. Among these sectors is the Financial Sector. In a financial sector, specifically Banking Industry is the financial services group's foundation. According to Catalino T. (2021), it focuses on direct saving and lending, whereas the financial services sector includes investments, insurance, risk redistribution, and other financial activities. Large commercial banks, community banks, credit unions, and other organizations offer banking services. The financial services group's foundation.

While these services include significant transactions that
would affect the economy, a need for a Financial Standard Reporting that would serve as basis for reporting is a need. In banking Industry, IFRS 9 is what is followed. IFRS 9 will align measurement of financial assets with the bank’s business model, contractual cash flow of instruments, and future economic scenarios. In addition, the IFRS 9 provision framework will make banks evaluate how economic and credit changes will alter their business models, portfolios, capital, and the provision levels under various scenarios. Given the IFRS 9 requirements in terms of classification, measurement, and impairment calculation and reporting, banks should expect to be required to make some changes to the way they do business, allocate capital, and manage the quality of loans and provisions at origination. Banks will face modeling, data, reporting, and infrastructure challenges in terms of both: 1. Reassessing the granularity (e.g., facility-level provisioning analysis) and/or credit loss impairment modeling approach (e.g., consistency regarding the definition of default between Basel and IFRS 9 models). 2. Enhancing coordination across their finance, risk, and business units.
Effectively addressing these challenges will enable bank
boards and senior management to make better-informed decisions, proactively manage provisions and effects on capital plans, make forward-looking strategic decisions for risk mitigation in the event of actual stressed conditions, and help in understanding the evolving nature of risk in the banking business. In the end, a thoughtful, repeatable, consistent capital planning and impairment analysis should lead to a more sound, lower-risk banking system with more efficient banks and better allocation of capital.
To help minimize the challenges faced by financial
institutions when transitioning to IFRS 9, we conducted the Moody's Analytics 2015 IFRS 9 Survey to give practitioners a snapshot of the "current state" of the industry. Moody's Analytics has also included a series of comments on best practices and industry trends.
There are top companies that made up the Banking Industry.
In the Philippines prominent companies includes, Union Bank of the Philippines, J.P Morgan, Manulife, Metropolitan Bank and Trust and others. While it is true that there are many client companies, this paper will focus its discussion on one financial institution which is the Banco De Oro (BDO).
