How to record Stage 2 to Stage 3 ECL migration
Records the increase in loss allowance when a financial asset transitions from having a significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2) to being credit-impaired (Stage 3).
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impairment loss (P&L) | Expense | 5,000.00 | - |
| Loss allowance (Financial Asset) | Contra-Asset | - | 5,000.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Under IFRS 9, Stage 3 requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses similar to Stage 2, but interest income is subsequently calculated on the net carrying amount (after deducting the allowance).
