Introduction to IFRS 9 for Banks and Other Financial Institutions:

IFRS 9 is an international financial reporting standard developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that sets out the guidelines for financial instruments' recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. This standard is particularly important for banks and other financial institutions as it provides guidance on how to account for and report their financial instruments.
