i) Loans to Members & Guarantees (cont'd)<br />

Allowances for Impairment (cont'd)<br />

Management remedies fluctuations in the ECL through the Statement of Profit and Loss and the ECL Reserve<br />

account on a monthly basis.<br />

Write-Off Policy<br />

The Credit Union writes off loans and any related allowances for impairment losses when it is determined that the<br />

loans are uncollectible. This determination is usually made after considering information such as changes in<br />

the borrower's financial position, or that proceeds from collateral will not be sufficient to pay back the entire<br />

exposure. Additionally, loans are written off once they are delinquent for 365 days or more based on regulatory<br />

requirements.<br />

ii) Deposits and Investments<br />

The Credit Union limits its exposure to credit risk by investing mainly in liquid assets. These investments are held<br />

only with counterparties that have high credit quality and Government of Jamaica securities. The management<br />

therefore does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.<br />

iii) Exposure to Credit Risk<br />

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risks before collaterals held.<br />

At the date of the statement of financial position, these amounts were:<br />
