Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
 
JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES, AND ASSUMPTIONS
The estimates used in the Bank’s accounting policies
 
are essential to understanding its results
 
of operations and financial condition. Some
 
of the Bank’s policies
require subjective, complex judgments and
 
estimates as they relate to matters
 
that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these judgments
 
or estimates and
changes to accounting standards and policies
 
could have a materially adverse impact on
 
the Bank’s Interim Consolidated Financial
 
Statements. The Bank has
established procedures to ensure that accounting
 
policies are applied consistently and that the
 
processes for changing methodologies,
 
determining estimates, and
adopting new accounting standards are well-controlled
 
and occur in an appropriate and systematic
 
manner. Refer to Note 3 of the Bank’s 2025
 
Annual
Consolidated Financial Statements for a description
 
of significant accounting judgments, estimates,
 
and assumptions.
Impairment – Expected Credit Loss Model
The expected credit loss (ECL) model requires
 
the application of judgments, estimates,
 
and assumptions in the assessment of the
 
current and forward-looking
economic environment. There remains elevated
 
economic uncertainty, and management continues to exercise
 
expert credit judgment in assessing if an
 
exposure
has experienced significant increase in credit
 
risk since initial recognition and in determining
 
the amount of ECLs at each reporting date.
 
To the extent that certain
effects are not fully incorporated into the model
 
calculations, temporary quantitative and qualitative
 
adjustments have been applied,
 
including for risks related to
elevated uncertainty associated with policy and
 
trade, and such adjustments will be updated
 
as appropriate in future periods.
