Allowances for Expected Credit losses - loans and advances and finance lease receivable

Risk Description

Our response

As at 3.1 March 2025, 79% of its total asscts

of the Company consisted of loams and advances and finance lcase receivables amounting to Rs. 9.5 Bn. I-1i•,lier degree of complcx itj and judgement are involved in estiniati rig Expected Credit Loss (EC L) amounting to Rs. 93.1 Mn as at the report in3 date.

Allowance tor expected credit losses is a key audit iratier due to the significance of the loans and receivables and fi nance lease receivable balances to the financial stateir cuts and the inherent complexity of the Cont pany's ECL models used to measure ECL allowances. These inodels are reliant on data and a nnrn ber of estimates including the impact of m ultiple economic scenarios and other assumptions s«cI as defioiig a significant inci ease i‹J credit i isk (SICR).

SLFRS 9 Financial Instruments requires the Company to measure ECLs on a forward-looking basis reflecting a range of economic conditions. Post-model adjustments are in ade by the Company to address known ECL model Iimitations or emerging trends in the loan and lease receivable portfol ios. The Management exercises significant judgement when evaluating the econoin ic scenarios used and the adequacy of post iiiodel adjustments. The Company's criteria selected to identi3' SICR are key areas of judgement with in the Company's ECL methodology as these criteria determine if a forward-looking 1.2 iiionth or lifetime allowance be recorded.

Additioiia I subjectivity and j iidgein eiit ma ve been intFOdiiccd in the Coinpan 's measurement of EC L due to the uncertainty associated with the irnpact of the econoiii ie outlook to the Coiiipany s ctistoiiiers, increasing our audit effort thereon.

The disclosures regarding the CoilJpan} 's application or SLFRS 9 ai e key to explain ink

Otir audit procedures included:

  • Understanding and assessing the design and iiiiplelTjentation and operating effectiveness of key internal control s over the approval. recording and nionitoring of loans and advances and finance lease receivables, and ilie meastneirent of provisions for irnpairiiient.

  • Assessing the reliabili/ and appropriateness of the expected credit loss model used by management in determ ining loss allowances, including assessing the appropriateness of the key parameters and assumptions in tfie expected credit loss model, including the identification of loss stages, probability of default, loss given default exposui e at default, discount rate, adjustments for forward looking information and other management adjustments and assessing the reasonableness of key management judsement.

    « Evaluating the model, methodology and key assuiiiptions by testing the con pleteness and accuracy of key inputs to the models and assessed the appropriateness of other assuiii ptions. We tested the coiiipleteness and accuracy of key inputs to the models and assessed the appropriateness of assumptions, particularly relating to the econoir ie scenarios.

  • Recalculating the amount of credit loss allowance for loans and advances and finance lease receivables to verify the accui acy of the calculation of credit loss allowance.

"

w





the key judgements and material inputs to the SLFRS 9 ECL results.

  • We have involved our FRM specialist to:

Assess the reasonabil ity of the adjustments made by the Company to the forward looking macroeconomic factors and assumptions used in the ECL model.

Assess the logic and compilation of the overdue information of loans and advances, finance lease receivables.

  • Assessing the adequacy of the appropriateness of related disclosures in the financial statements using our understandi rig obtained front oui testing and against the requ Irements of Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.

Other matter

The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 March 2024 were audited by another auditor who expi essed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 26 June 2024.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report but does not incl ude the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors' report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other inforiiiation and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially niisstated.

When we read the Annual repoia, if we conclude that there is a material m isstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charp•ed with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management

' determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or err-or .





In prepai in e the financial statements, iranageiiient is responsible for assess ing the Com pany s abil ity to continue as a going concern, disc losing, as appl icable. rrianci s related to going concern and using the going COIicei n basis of accounting tinless management eithei intends to liquldate the Coin pany or to cease operations. or has no i eat istic alternative brit to do so.

Those charged with governance are i esponsib ie for o› erscein g the Company's financial repos ing process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about wliethcr the financial statements as a whole are free from material rn isstateMent. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's i eport that inc ludes our opin ion. Reasonable assurance is a li igh level of assurance, brit is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SLA uSs will al«'ays detect a material rimisstateinent when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and ai c considered material if, individually or in the a•gregate. they could reasonably be expected to inflricnce the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with S LAuSs, c exercise professional j tidginent and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. and obtaln audit ev idence that is sufficient and appropi late to prov ide a basis foi our opinion. The i isk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fi atid is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional orn issions, rnisrepresentations, or override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit pi ocedures that are appropriate in the circuits stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opin ion on the effectiveness of the Corn pany's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the ieasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appi opriateness of iiianagement's rise of the going concei n basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a goin _ concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements OI'. if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify oui opinion. Our conc lusions are based on the audit e›'idence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions way cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, striictui e and content of the financial statements, including the " disclosures. and whether tlic financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a

manner that achieves fair presentation.

We coin rnunicate with those charged with governance regarding, aiiiong other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and sign ificant audit findings, including any sienificant deficiencies in internal conti of that 'e identify during our audit.





We also provide those charged with govei nance with a statement that we have coin plied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to corn ir un icate with them all relationships and other

matters that iiiay reasonably be thought to bear oIi OiJr independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliin inate threats or safeguards applied.



From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we deteriii ine those matters that wei e of most sign ificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these m atters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circum stances, we determine that a matter should not be commUIiicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publ ic interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

As required by section 1.63 (2) of the Companies Act No. 07 of 2007, we have obtained all the information and explanations that were required lot the audit and, as far as appears from our exam ination, proper accounting records have been kept by the Company.

      Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Assets

      As per SLFRS 09, the Company classifies at I of its financia I assets based on the business iiiodel for iiianagin3 the assets and the assets' contractual terns iaieasured at either;

      in • AMort ised Cost

      • Fai r Value Through Other Coiaipreliensive lncoiiie (FVOCI)

      • Fair Value Tlii ough Profit or Loss ( FVTPL)

        The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on tlicir classification.

        1. Business model assessment

          The Coiiipany deteiaii ines its business iaaodel at the level that best reflects how it iiianages the finalicial assets to achieve its business objective.

          The Cont pany's business model is not assessed on an insti uinent-by-instrument basis, but at a liigliei- level of aggregated portfolios and is based on observable factors such as:

          • How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held with in that business model are evaluated and reported to the entity's key management personnel

          • The risks that affect the performance of the business model and, in particular, the way those risks are iiianaged

        How mana _•ers of the business are coin pensated

        The expected frequency, value and tini ing of sales are also iinportant aspects of the Coin pany's assessment

        2.3.L2 The Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) Test

        As a second step of its classification pi ocess the Coiiipany assesses the contractual tei-was of financial instrlnlaents to identify whether they iiieet the SPPI test. 'Principal' for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair at tie of the financial asset at in itial recognition and may change over the 1ife of the fi nanc ial asset. The most sign ificant elements of interest with in a lending arrangement are typically the consideration for the tini e value of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the Com pany appl ies j tidgement and considers relevant factors such as the ciii i ency in which the fi nancial asset is deliona inated, and the period for which the intei est rate is set.

        2.3.t.3 Reclassification of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities



        As per SLFRS 09, Financial assets are not rec lassified subsequent to their in itial recogn ition, except and only in those rare circum stances when the corn pany changes its objective of the business ITIodel for managing such financial assets ivli icli ir ay include the acquisition. disposal or term ination of a business Iine. Durin 3 the year Corn pany has not rec lassified any fi nancial assets.

        Financial 1iabil ities are not reclassified as such reclassifications are not perms ined by SLFRS 09.



        1. Derecop•nition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities


          A financial asset (or. where applicab le, a part of a financial asset or part of a coin pany of sink ilar fi nancial assets) is derecognised w lien the riglits to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired.

          A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation undei the Iiabil ity is discharged. cance fled or expires.

        2. Modification of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

        If the terms of a financial asset are modified, an assessiiient needs to be perfoi ised to determine whether the modified terms are di fferenl fi orn the existing terns. This assessment consider s whether the cash flows of the modified asset are different. Where terms are different, the existing financial asset 'ill be dei ecogn ised and a new financial asset will be recognised at fair val ue.



        Where an existing financial 1iabil ity is replaced by another front the same lender on different terms or the terns of an existing Iiabil ities are modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original 1iab il ity and the recognition of a new liability. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified tens s is recogii ised at fair value.

        The Contractual tems of a loan may be modified for a nuiiiber of reasons, including changing market conditions, customer retention and other factors not related to a ciii i ent or potential credit deterioration of the customer.

    2. Fair Value Measurement

      Fair value is the price that would be recei ved to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liabilip in an orderly transaction betw'een market participants at the measurement date. The fair value naeasureinelit is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell t!ie asset or transfer the Iiabil ity takes place either:

      • In the principal market for the asset or Iiability; or

      • I n the absence of a principal market, in the iiiost ad vantaseous iiiarket for the asset or Iiabil ity. The pi incipal or the in ost advantageous market must be accessible by the Corn pany.

2.3.2 Fair Value Measurement (Continued)



The fair val tie of an asset or a liabi Iity is ir casiired using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricin g the asset or 1iab il ity, assurn ing that rn arket partici pants act in their econoin ie best interest. A fair value incasin einent of a non financial assct takes into account a market participant's abi Iity to generate economy ie benefits by his ink the asset in its li ighest and best use or by sell irig it to another market participant that ›vou ld use the asset in its liighest and best rise. The Coiiipany rises various valuation iiiethodologies that ai e appropriate in the circumstances and for liicli su fficient data is available to measure fair value, maxim isin3 the use of relevant observable inputs and in in iiii ising the use of unobsei vable inputs. The use of observable and iinobservable in puts and their si gn ificance in measuring fa ir val ue are reflected in our fair value h ierarchy assessment.

Level 1 : Inputs inc hide quoted prices for identical instruments.



Level 2 : Inputs inc hide quoted prices for sink ilar instruments and observable inputs such as interest rates, currency exchange rates and yield curves.

Level 3 : Inputs include data not observable in the niarket and reflect management judgement about the assuiii ptions iiiarket pai4icipants would rise in pricing the instruments.

Valuation Fi-ameivork



The Company has an established control trainework for the ineasureiiient of fair values. Finance Department is responsible for the valuation of financial instruments. Obtaining in put data, valuI{ig of financial instruiiients and veri fying the va mation models are being segregated within the Finance Department. M ana•pement reviews the inputs to the fair value ineasurelTlents to ensure they are appropriately cate•,orised within the fair val ue hierarchy. Transfers into and transfei s out of the liierarchy levels are recognised as if they had taken place at the end of the reporting period.

Valuation Methodoloq•ies and Assumptions Cash and Cash Equivalents


Inc luded in cash and cash equivalents are li igli ly Iiquid investiTlents that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and if it has a remain ing time to inatui ity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. A mounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for dai ly liquidity without penalty, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits and money market accounts that lTleet the above criteria ai e reported at par value on our Statement of Financial Position.

Loans and Receivables

These rrlodels project futin-e cash flows of financllig contracts based on scheduled contract payiiients (including principal and interest), The projected cash flows are discounted to

    The company classified Reverse Repurchase, Treasury Bil1s, Loans and Advances to customers and other assets under th is category (Refer Note 11).



    After initial measurement, the loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (El R), less allowance for impairment.
