Explanation:
IFRS 9 introduces a differentiated approach to estimating expected losses based on the performance status of assets. It categorizes financial assets into three stages: performing, underperforming, and nonperforming. For performing assets (Stage 1), the focus is on estimating 12-month expected losses. For underperforming (Stage 2) and nonperforming (Stage 3) assets, the estimation shifts to lifetime expected losses. This approach allows for a more dynamic and accurate reflection of credit risks associated with each category of assets, aligning with the forward-looking approach mandated by IFRS 9.
A is incorrect because IFRS 9 requires a more sophisticated approach than a uniform loss provision percentage for all assets, necessitating differentiation based on the performance status of each asset.
