IFRS 9, ECL Modeling, and IAS 19 for Cacao Beans Purchase and Sales
This course applies IFRS 9, expected credit loss modelling and IAS 19 to cacao bean purchase and sale, covering receivables classification, provision matrices, commodity contracts and employee benefit obligations. Participants learn to close a cocoa trading book with defensible impairment and benefit figures.
Introduction
IFRS 9, ECL Modeling, and IAS 19 for Cacao Beans Purchase and Sales Training Course applies three demanding standards to one commodity chain, from farmgate purchase to export sale. Participants learn how receivables from cooperative suppliers and trade buyers are classified and impaired under IFRS 9, and how expected credit losses are modelled on a cocoa trading book. The programme also covers IAS 19 obligations, including employee benefits for seasonal workers, gratuity schemes and defined benefit plans. Furthermore, it addresses inventory, forward contracts and price risk in a volatile market. As a result, delegates can close the books on a cocoa business with defensible judgements. Gentex Training Center delivers the programme through modelling workshops and case work.
IFRS 9, ECL Modeling, and IAS 19 for Cacao Beans Purchase and Sales Course Objectives
- Apply IFRS 9 classification and measurement to cocoa receivables and payables.
- Assess significant increase in credit risk across supplier and buyer portfolios.
- Build expected credit loss models using probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default.
- Apply the simplified matrix approach to trade receivables and contract assets.
- Model forward contracts and price risk in cacao bean purchase and sale agreements.
- Account for inventory and fair value movements in a commodity trading book.
- Measure IAS 19 employee benefit obligations for permanent and seasonal workers.
- Calculate gratuity, end-of-service and defined benefit plan liabilities.
- Apply discount rate, actuarial assumption and remeasurement requirements under IAS 19.
- Prepare disclosures for credit risk, commodity exposure and employee benefits.
Course Methodology
The course combines technical briefings with hands-on modelling workshops in Microsoft Excel. Participants build an ECL provision matrix for cocoa receivables and calculate an IAS 19 obligation for a seasonal workforce. In addition, structured peer review and case discussion reinforce each technique, and every day closes with an applied task.
