Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gone are the days of waiting for default
Incurred loss model is old news
IFRS nine brought a brand new approach
Expected credit loss is what we use
Look ahead not behind at what might come
Forward-looking is the key
Twelve months or lifetime, that's the sum
Of losses we expect to see

[Chorus]
Stage one, stage two, stage three we go
Twelve months, lifetime, watch the credit flow
Expected loss before it hits the door
Forward-looking is the core
Stage one, stage two, stage three we know
Impairment growing as the stages grow
ECL model, that's the way we score
Credit losses evermore

[Verse 2]
Stage one starts with recognition day
Credit risk is normal still
Twelve-month losses on display
Expected defaults, what's the bill?
But when significant increase appears
Credit risk has jumped up high
Stage two brings lifetime fears
All expected losses multiply

[Chorus]
Stage one, stage two, stage three we go
Twelve months, lifetime, watch the credit flow
Expected loss before it hits the door
Forward-looking is the core
Stage one, stage two, stage three we know
Impairment growing as the stages grow
ECL model, that's the way we score
Credit losses evermore

[Bridge]
Stage three means credit impaired
Objective evidence is there
Lifetime losses fully shared
Interest on the net to bear
Probability times exposure times loss given default
Multiply these three amounts
That's the formula without fault
Every credit loss it counts

[Verse 3]
Practical expedients help us through
Provision matrix is the way
Days past due give us the clue
Group assets by their risk array
External ratings, internal grades
Economic factors weigh them in
Reasonable supportable aids
The model where our loss begins

[Chorus]
Stage one, stage two, stage three we go
Twelve months, lifetime, watch the credit flow
Expected loss before it hits the door
Forward-looking is the core
Stage one, stage two, stage three we know
Impairment growing as the stages grow
ECL model, that's the way we score
Credit losses evermore

[Outro]
Forward-looking all the way
Expected credit loss today
IFRS nine is here to stay
ECL shows us the way
