41 BARBADOS PUBLIC WORKERS’ CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT UNION LIMITED | NON-CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 BARBADOS PUBLIC WORKERS' CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT UNION LIMITED Notes to the Non-consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, 2018 (Expressed in Barbados dollars) 26 2. Accounting Policies, continued (e) Standards in issue but not yet effective , continued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (cont’d) (iii) Impairment of financial assets (cont’d) Lifetime ECL measurement applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since initial recognition and 12 ‑ month ECL measurement applies if it has not. An entity may determine that a financial asset’s credit risk has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. However, lifetime ECL measurement always applies for trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component. The assessment of whether credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly will be one of the critical judgements in implementing the impairment model of IFRS 9. When assessing this, the Credit Union will consider reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort, including both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Credit Union’s historical experience and expert credit assessment and including forward-looking information. Measurement of ECL ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses and will be measured as follows: • financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the reporting date : the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Credit Union expects to receive); • financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date : the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows; • undrawn loan commitments : the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Credit Union if the commitment is drawn down and the cash flows that the Credit Union expects to receive; and • financial guarantee contracts : the expected payments to reimburse the holder less any amounts that the Credit Union expects to recover. Financial assets that are credit-impaired are defined by IFRS 9 in a similar way to financial assets that are impaired under IAS 39.
