However, with the advent of Current Expected Credit Loss Model (CECL), “expected loss” model is set to replace the “incurred loss” model. We find that loan loss provisions in IFRS bank years predict future credit losses to a lesser extent than in local GAAP bank years, consistent with the incurred loss model reducing the timeliness of provisions.
