SLFRS 9 replaces the "Incurred Loss Model" in LKAS 39 with forward looking "Expected Loss Model ("ECL") which requires considerable judgement over how changes in economic factors affect ECL, which in turn is to be determined on a probability weighted basis. SLFRS 9 also contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed based on their cash flow characteristics
