Changes in Accounting Policies, Estimates and Disclosures [Abstract]

Changes in Accounting Policies, Estimates and Disclosures

4. Changes in Accounting policies, Estimates and Disclosures:

a) Changes in Estimates - Refinements to ECL models used for calculation

COVID-19 pandemic and the various Goverment support measures resulted in an economic environment which differed significantly from the historical economic conditions upon which the impairment models were built. As a result, there was a greater need for management judgements to be applied alongside the use of models as of December 31, 2021.

During 2022 the direct impact of the pandemic on economic performance has reduced, resulting in the release of all material judgements required specifically to capture COVID-19 risks.

The assessment of SICRs and the measurement of ECLs required to be based on reasonable and supportable information that is available to an entity without undue cost or effort. The Bank has developed estimates based on the best available information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions. In assessing forecast conditions, the Bank has considered the effects of COVID-19 and the government support measures that were taken. Indeed, in September 2022, the Bank completed a calibration of parameters, such as: a) PD models, considering more recent information concerning COVID-19 pandemic and including new macroeconomics, b) SICRs were adjusted, carrying out a more retrospective comparison of credit rating and c) improvements were made regarding the recognition of collateral, obtaining a more precise estimate of the expected credit loss. The impact of calibrations or refinements in the ECL models and assumptions resulted in an inmaterial amount.

b) Changes in Accounting plan

During 2022, changes were incorporated into the accounting plan, both in the coding of accounts and in their description. Said changes seek to improve the quality of financial information in order to facilitate the reading, understanding and comparison of the financial statements, along with providing the banking system with more detailed financial information. These changes also ensure that the financial statements comply with the standards of IAS 1 and other applicable accounting standards.

The impacts to these Consolidated Financial Statements according to the changes mentioned above are detailed below:
