2. Basis for preparation, approval and submission of financial statements

general information

The Credit Union switched to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on January 1, 2015 in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. From this date, the financial statements of the credit union are prepared in accordance with the requirements of IFRS. The date of transition to International Financial Reporting Standards is set for January 1, 2015 in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine №419 of February 28, 2000. with changes and additions and taking into account the recommendations set out in the joint letter of the National Bank of Ukraine dated 07.12.2011. № 12-208 / 1757-14830, Ministry of Finance of Ukraine dated December 7, 2011. № 31-08410-06-5 / 30523 and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine dated 07.12.2011. № 04 / 4-07 / 702. In earlier reporting periods, the credit union did not declare compliance with its IFRS financial statements.

Until 01.01.2015 credit union kept accounting and submitted financial statements in accordance with the Regulations (standards) of accounting approved by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Accounting and Financial Reporting” and other rules and regulations established by Ukrainian legislation governing accounting in Ukraine.

In its accounting policy for 2017, the credit union is guided by accounting principles based on current legislation of Ukraine, regulations of the National Commission for Regulation of Financial Services Markets, International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations.

Conceptual framework: These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Board (IFRS), and Interpretations and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. (ICFTU, PKT), which are officially published on the website of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.  The financial statements clearly and without any reservations meet the requirements of current IFRS. In compiling financial statements, the Credit Union was also guided by the requirements of national laws and regulations on the organization and conduct of accounting and financial reporting in Ukraine, which do not contradict the requirements of IFRS.

The financial statements of a credit union are general purpose financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management of the credit union to provide estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities of the credit union, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and reported amounts of income and expenses. for the reporting period. Actual results may differ slightly from such estimates. In applying the accounting policy, the management of the credit union applied its own judgment and the following judgments.

The fundamental assumptions in preparing the financial statements of a credit union in accordance with IAS 1 are accrual basis and continuity of operations.

Reporting date and reporting period

Reporting date – as of the end of December 31, 2017.

Reporting period – 2017.

Functional reporting currency and its units of measurement

The functional reporting currency is the hryvnia.

Units of measurement – thousands of hryvnias.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management of the credit union to provide estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities of the credit union, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date and reported amounts of income and expenses. for the reporting period. Actual results may differ slightly from such estimates. When applying the accounting policy, the management of the credit union used its own discretion.

Operating environment, business continuity and continued operation

The activity of the credit union in 2017 was carried out in an aggressive operating environment due to the negative situation in Ukraine. The hryvnia devalued against major world currencies during 2017. The rapid rise in prices and tariffs has led to a sharp decline in the solvency of borrowers and potential borrowers. But despite this situation in the country, the activities of the credit union were not affected, but on the contrary – arrears decreased, lending and raising funds increased. Changes in the tax code have led to a conflict of law and uncertainty of the legal status of the credit union as a business unit, because, according to the Law “On Credit Unions” and the Charter of the credit union, the credit union is a non-profit organization with a certain order of liquidation and dissolution at the same time, the Tax Code excludes credit unions from the number of non-profit organizations without making appropriate changes to other regulations. However, given the sufficient level of capital of the credit union and its financial condition, the management of the credit union considers it reasonable to prepare these financial statements based on the assumption that the credit union is an organization capable of continuing operations on a continuous basis.

In accordance with IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, Ukraine’s economy was considered hyperinflationary in 2000 and previous years. As of January 1, 2001, the Ukrainian economy was not considered hyperinflationary. In 2016, the cumulative increase in inflation exceeded the minimum allowable threshold of -90% (the set of inflation indices for the last three years, including the reported is 101.2%).

Indicators of financial statements for 2016, 2017 are not listed, the management of the credit union based on its own judgment decided not to apply the adjustment procedure, as it believes that the impact of the recalculation on the financial statements will be insignificant, as indicated by specific factors in the economic environment.

A credit union is highly dependent on legal and economic constraints.

Given the difficult economic situation, analysis of the competitive environment, the impact of external and internal factors, forecasts for the development of the financial services market of Ukraine in 2017, the credit union chose a strategy of quality development compared to the strategy of quality and intensive development in previous years.

In 2017, the credit union will focus its efforts on maintaining its customer base, maintaining long-term partnerships with counterparties and ensuring economical and rational use of funds.

The credit union does not intend to liquidate or cease operations, there is no uncertainty about the events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the credit union’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements reflect the current assessment (judgment) of management regarding the possible impact of economic conditions on the operations and financial position of the credit union and do not contain any adjustments to the amounts reflected that would be necessary if the credit union was unable to continue as a going concern. during normal activities. Future conditions may differ from management’s estimates. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that could occur as a result of such uncertainty.

Business continuity assumptions: Based on the above, management considers it reasonable to prepare these financial statements on the basis of the assumption that the credit union is an organization capable of continuing its operations on a continuous basis.

3. Application of new, revised and amended International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations . 

In preparing the financial statements for the 12 months of 2017, the credit union applied all new and revised standards and interpretations that are relevant to its operations and are mandatory for use in preparing annual reports. The application of amendments to standards and interpretations did not have a material effect on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the credit union. A credit union has the right to apply new IFRSs from periods specified in the standard itself or later. It is also allowed to apply before this date (ie early application).

– New Interim Standard IFRS 14 “Deferred Tariff Accounts”. This standard came into force on January 1, 2017, early application was allowed. The main purpose of the IAS Board, which issued IFRS 14, is to increase the comparability of financial statements of entities operating in interest-based industries (suppliers of gas, electricity or water where the government usually directly regulates tariffs). Under IFRS 14, first-time adopters may recognize amounts attributable to interest rate regulation in accordance with previous GAAP requirements that guided them prior to the transition to IFRSs. Organizations applying IFRS 14 are required to present accounts for deferred tariff differences on separate lines in the statement of financial position and the movement on such balances is presented on separate lines in the income statement and other comprehensive income. The standard requires the disclosure of information about the nature of tariff regulation and the risks associated with it, as well as the impact of such regulation on the financial statements of the organization. IFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. or after this date, early application is permitted.There will be no application of the standard in this edition by the credit union , the standard has no influence on the financial statements of the credit union .

• Amendment to IFRS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Depreciation Methods

The amendments clarify the principles of IFRS 16 (IAS) 16 and IFRS 38, which are that revenue reflects the structure of the economic benefits generated by the business (of which the asset is a part) and not the economic benefits that are consumed in asset use. As a result, the revenue-based method cannot be used to amortize property, plant and equipment and can only be used in rare cases to amortize intangible assets. The change is a new opportunity for accounting for subsidiaries in the preparation of separate financial statements by the parent company. IFRS now allow the use of equity methods in separate financial statements not only for associates and joint ventures, but also for subsidiaries. The amendments are applied on a long-term basis for annual periods,The amendments will not affect the credit union’s financial statements because it does not use the revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets, and the credit union does not prepare separate financial statements.

• Annual improvements to IFRS for the period 2012-2014

Amendments to IFRS 11 “Joint Ventures” govern the accounting for the acquisition of interests in joint ventures, the business combination principles will be applied to the recognition of goodwill, the recognition of deferred taxes from the initial recognition of acquired assets and liabilities, the recognition of expenses Amendments to IFRS 27 “The Method of Equity Participation in Separate Financial Statements” state that the financial statements of an entity that does not have a subsidiary or interest in a joint venture are not amended financial statements, supplemented by amendments to the accounting for dividends, Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures govern the sale or deposit of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture and the exclusion of consolidated financial statements, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: disclosure of information ”(and related amendments to IFRS 1) – regulate the transfer of a financial asset to a third party and disclosure of information, it is specified that the service contract for fixed capital continues to be taken into account in order to comply with disclosure requirements nformatsiyi in IFRS 1 note added that these amendments to IFRS 7 apply to disclosures in the condensed interim financial statements IFRS (IFRS) 5 “Long-term assets held for sale and Discontinued Operations ”governs the transfer (reclassification) of an asset from a held-for-sale category to one intended for distribution to owners or vice versa, and cases where accounting for resources held for distribution is discontinued. Amendments to IAS 19 that the currency of high-quality corporate bonds or government bonds, the rate of which is used for discounting, must be the same as the currency of remuneration after dismissal, which will be paid to employees. These amendments come into force on January 1, 2016. and early use is allowed. that the currency of high-quality corporate bonds or government bonds, the rate of which is used for discounting, must be the same as the currency of remuneration after dismissal, which will be paid to employees. These amendments come into force on January 1, 2016. and early use is allowed. that the currency of high-quality corporate bonds or government bonds, the rate of which is used for discounting, must be the same as the currency of remuneration after dismissal, which will be paid to employees. These amendments come into force on January 1, 2016. and early use is allowed.The application of amendments in these editions by the credit union was adopted from January 1, 2016.

  International Financial Reporting Standards, amendments thereto, interpretations that have been issued but have not been taken into account at the date of issue of the credit union’s financial statements. This list includes standards, interpretations and interpretations that could potentially affect the disclosure, financial condition or financial performance of a credit union.

   – IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IFRS Board issued the final version of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which reflects the results of all stages of the project on financial instruments and replaces IFRS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and all previous versions of IFRS. ) 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement (measurement), impairment and hedge accounting. The standard is applied retrospectively, but the provision of comparative information is not mandatory. The application of IFRS 9 will affect the classification and measurement of a credit union’s financial assets, but will not affect the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, early application is permitted.The credit union is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 9 and plans to apply the new standard to the relevant effective date.

– IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and provides a new model that includes five stages that will be applied to revenue under contracts with customers: 1) determine the existence of a contract with the client, 2) determine the obligations to perform the contract, 3) determine the price of the transaction, 4) distribute the contract price, 5) recognize income when the contractual obligation is satisfied. In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at the amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to the customer. The principles of IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to revenue measurement and recognition. The new revenue standard applies to all organizations and will replace all current requirements for revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS. Simultaneously with the entry into force of IFRS 15, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IAS 18 Revenue will be repealed. The standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, retrospectively in full or using a modified retrospective approach, with early application permitted.The credit union has now assessed the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to apply the new standard to the relevant effective date.

Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption and application of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. For other standards and interpretations, management estimates that their adoption in future periods will not have a material impact on the credit union’s financial statements.

4. Presentation of significant accounting policies and judgments

Accounting policies are specific principles, fundamentals, arrangements, rules and practices applied by a credit union in preparing and presenting financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the reporting periods presented in these financial statements.

The accounting policy provisions described below have been applied by the credit union consistently in the reporting periods presented in these financial statements for similar transactions, other events or conditions, unless IFRS specifically requires or permits the determination of items for which other policies may be appropriate. The accounting policy of the reporting period corresponds to the accounting policy applied in the previous reporting year. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and accounting estimates as at 31 December 2017.

The credit union’s accounting policy was developed and approved by the Chairman of the Board of the credit union, taking into account the requirements of IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” and other applicable IFRS, in accordance with Order №26 of 20.12.2016 “On Credit Union Accounting Policy”.

Financial assets

Loans granted to members of a credit union.

Upon initial recognition of this financial asset and subject to the application of the normal interest rate, the credit union measures it at fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the loan. The best evidence of fair value is the transaction price, ie the amount of the contract.

These financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method in accordance with IFRS 9. The credit union does not receive any additional fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts, so the effective interest rate is equal to the nominal rate, ie that determined by the contract.

Amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability  is the amount at which a financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, less any payment of the principal amount, plus (or less) the accumulated amortization of any difference between that original amount and the amortized cost. using the effective interest method and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of a reserve account) due to a reduction in the usefulness or inability to obtain…. ”

The effective interest  method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period.

The effective interest rate  is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future payments or cash flows over the expected life of the financial instrument and, if appropriate, over a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, an entity should estimate cash flows in advance, taking into account all the terms of the financial instrument contract (for example, advances, call options and similar options), but should not consider future loan losses. The calculation includes all fees and additional commissions paid or received by the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (see IAS 18), transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. There is an assumption that the cash flows and expected life of a group of similar financial instruments can be measured reliably. However, in rare cases where it is not possible to reliably estimate the cash flows or expected life of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments), an entity should use contractual cash flows for the entire contractual life of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments).

At the request of Order №7, in order to properly control the financial standards, the credit union in accounting classifies these financial assets by maturity according to the initial maturity.

When preparing financial statements for the classification of loans by maturity, the credit union:

-use the actual maturity of loans;

– must reflect long-term loans in installments in terms of maturity not more than twelve months after the balance sheet date and more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Impairment of loans granted to members of a credit union

Credit Union, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Credit Unions” (hereinafter – the Basic Law), in the manner prescribed by Regulation №7, the Regulation on Financial Services and the Regulation on Financial Management, constantly monitors the loan portfolio to reduce utility (depreciation). In accordance with the requirements of Order №7, the credit union forms a Reserve to cover losses from unpaid loans in the manner prescribed by paragraph 5.1 of this Order. Specialized software calculates the days of overdue, classifies loans by overdue levels and calculates the required reserve automatically. If, in accordance with IAS 39, a credit union discovers impairment factors other than past due, the credit union shall form a provision greater than necessary, but taking into account that the total amount of the formed reserve may not exceed the total amount of overdue loans. Also, the credit union as part of the reserve to cover losses from unpaid loans forms a reserve for accrued but unpaid interest in accordance with the requirements of Order №7 as amended. The credit union forms a reserve for accrued interest in the following order: 100% of overdue debt on interest accrued from 01.01.2016.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and bank accounts in national currency, as well as funds on deposit accounts with banks “On demand”, short-term highly liquid financial investments that are freely convertible into certain amounts of money and are characterized by a slight risk of changes in value, that can be used for current operations. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost.

Other current receivables

Another current receivable, the credit union includes any debt, other than fees, taxes and mandatory payments, at the time of the legal right to receive payments for such debt. In accordance with the requirements of Order №7, in order to cover losses on other receivables in the event of default risk, the credit union forms a reserve for doubtful debts. The amount of the provision for doubtful debts is determined by the method of applying the absolute amount of doubtful debts. The amount of the provision for doubtful debts at the balance sheet date may not exceed the total amount of other receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

In accordance with IFRS 9, a credit union derecognises a financial asset if, and only when:

-the term of contractual rights to cash flows from a financial asset expires,

or

-it transfers the financial asset and this transfer meets the criteria for derecognition, namely if the credit union transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the credit union derecognises the financial asset and recognizes separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained during the transfer.

Financial investments

When compiling financial statements, a credit union classifies deposits in banks as financial investments. Financial investments are accounted for and reported at fair value.

Fixed assets and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Expenses for repairs and maintenance of fixed assets are recognized as expenses as they arise. During the transition to IFRS, the credit union decided to apply IAS 16 and IAS 38 retrospectively.

Amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset’s carrying amount. Depreciation of an asset begins when it becomes serviceable, that is, when it is delivered to a location and brought to a condition in which it is serviceable. Depreciation of an asset ceases on one of the two earlier dates: the date on which the asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a liquidation group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5, or the date on which it is discontinued. recognition of the asset. Depreciation does not cease when the asset is not in use or is retired from active use until the asset is fully depreciated. The service life of fixed assets is specified in Note 6.1. Intangible assets in a credit union mainly include licensed software, specialized software and operating licenses (if any). Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization. The useful lives of intangible assets are disclosed in Note 6.1

Stocks

Inventories are accounted for and accounted for in accordance with IAS 2.

Inventories are accounted for in homogeneous groups:

– stationery and office supplies;

– Other.

The cost of inventories purchased from third parties consists of the cost of acquisition and other costs directly related to their acquisition. The credit union uses the FIFO method of estimating inventories when they are disposed of or transferred to production.

Inventories are recognized in the financial statements at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the possible realizable value in the ordinary course of business of a credit union less costs to sell. The net realizable value is determined individually for each product name, taking into account the marketing policy of the credit union.

Assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups, which include assets and liabilities whose carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally as a result of a sale or distribution and not as a result of long-term use, are classified as held for sale. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whichever is less.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities mainly consist of contributions (deposits) to deposit accounts, funds raised from other legal entities.

Upon initial recognition, at the normal interest rate, the credit union measures financial liabilities at fair value less transaction costs that are directly attributable to the liability. The best evidence of fair value is the transaction price, ie the amount of the contract.

In accordance with IFRS 9, a credit union classifies all financial liabilities as those that are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is not applied to financial liabilities for which it is impossible to reliably and unambiguously determine cash flows, namely: contributions (deposits) to demand deposit accounts, term deposits (deposits) to deposit accounts with the possibility of depositing or capitalizing interest, and recognized liabilities in accordance with paragraph 18 of IAS 32. In the absence of the amount of the initial discount, the carrying amount (amortized cost) is calculated as the balance of the principal amount and accrued but not paid interest at the date of itnosti.

At the request of Order №7, in order to properly control financial standards, the credit union in accounting classifies financial liabilities by maturity according to the initial maturity. When preparing financial statements in accordance with international standards for the classification of liabilities by maturity, the credit union:

-uses the actual maturity of liabilities;

– must reflect long-term liabilities in installments in terms of maturity not more than twelve months after the balance sheet date and more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Collateral, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Collateral in the financial statements is recognized if all three conditions are met:

– the credit union has an existing obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

-provided that the disposal of resources will be necessary to fulfill the obligation;

-can reliably estimate the amount of the obligation.

The provision is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. The collateral is used only for those expenses for which it was created from the beginning. Only the expenses related to the security for which it was created are included in it. If a credit union has a onerous contract, it recognizes and measures the existing obligation under that contract as collateral. Restructuring costs can be recognized as collateral only if the restructuring started in the reporting period and these costs meet all three conditions of recognition of collateral.

For contingent liabilities, the credit union shall disclose for each class of contingent liability at the end of the reporting period a summary of the substance of the contingent liability and, if possible, an estimate of its financial impact, information on uncertainties about the amount or timing of any disposal and possibility of any compensation. In extremely rare cases, the disclosure of some or all of the information may be expected to seriously harm the credit union’s position in a dispute with other parties over the collateral, contingent liability or contingent asset. In such cases, the credit union does not disclose the information, but discloses the general nature of the dispute, as well as the fact that the information was not disclosed, and the reasons for this.

Recognition of income and expenses

Income in the financial statements is recognized by the accrual method. Interest on loans is recognized using the effective interest method. When there is uncertainty about the receipt of accrued interest that has been recognized as income, such interest is recognized as an expense and not as an adjustment to the amount of income originally recognized. Costs are recognized in the financial statements on an accrual basis. The credit union analyzes costs using a classification based on the nature of the costs. In the financial statements, interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method. Amounts allocated to additional share contributions are reflected in the financial statements as part of financial expenses. Expenses are recognized on the basis of a direct comparison between incurred expenses and income on specific items of income, which involves the simultaneous recognition of income and expenses arising directly and jointly from the same transactions or other events. Income and expenses are included in the Statement of financial performance (Statement of comprehensive income) on the basis of the principles of accrual and compliance with the accounting and reporting of the periods to which they relate.

Staff costs and related charges

Expenditures on salaries, accrual of the single social contribution, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses, as well as non-monetary remuneration are accrued in the period in which the relevant services were provided by employees of the credit union. The credit union has formed a reserve for holidays for 2018. The credit union has no legal or constructive obligation to make pension or other similar payments, except for payments in accordance with the law.

Credit union capital. Classification and evaluation

In accordance with the requirements of the Basic Law and the requirements of the regulator, the credit union refers to the capital of share, reserve, additional capital, as well as the balance of retained earnings. However, at the request of IAS 32, in these financial statements the share and additional capital of the credit union, which can be returned at the request of a member of the credit union, is reflected in current financial liabilities. In addition, at the request of the regulator, the credit union estimates and controls the amount of regulatory capital, which consists of the amount of actually formed reserve to cover losses from unpaid loans and the amount of credit union capital formed from reserve capital, retained earnings (if any), mandatory share contributions. , additional capital, except for voluntary target contributions of members of the credit union,

At the request of NPSO 1 “General requirements for financial reporting” provides information on the purpose and conditions of use of each element of equity (except for registered capital). According to the charter of the credit union:

– reserve capital is intended to compensate for possible losses of the credit union, which cannot be covered by the current year’s income, to ensure the solvency of the credit union and to protect the savings of its members.

The decision to use the capital to cover the losses of the credit union is made by the supervisory board of the credit union in the manner prescribed by law and the decision of the general meeting of members of the credit union.

– additional capital of the credit union is formed at the expense of target contributions of members of the credit union, charitable contributions of individuals and legal entities, gratuitously received property and non-current assets. The decision of the general meeting may establish the obligation to make all members of the credit union with a certain frequency of a certain amount of the target contribution of members of the credit union in additional capital.
In case of liquidation of the union, the balance of additional capital is credited to the State Budget of Ukraine.

In accordance with the provisions on the financial management of the credit union, additional capital can be used to cover losses. Also, the regulations on financial management and the Procedure for distribution of income and loss coverage set the order of use of capital to cover losses.

The charter of the credit union defines the procedure for income distribution:

– retained earnings, which remains at the disposal of the credit union at the end of the financial year, is distributed by the decision of the general meeting, including among the members of the credit union, in proportion to the size of their share contributions in the form of interest. At the same time, first of all, there is a necessary replenishment of capital and reserves. The amount of income that is distributed to additional share membership fees is determined subject to the condition that the yield of additional share membership fees may not exceed more than twice the weighted average interest rate of return of contributions (deposits) of credit union members on deposit accounts, if any. The remaining income remaining after the formation of capital and reserves and distribution to additional share membership fees is distributed to mandatory share membership fees.

The credit union controls the capital adequacy and solvency ratios in accordance with the requirements of the Natskomfinposlug Order №7. The calculation of the main capital adequacy and solvency ratios is given in a separate table of Note 10.

Operating lease costs are written off against the current period during the relevant lease term.

Income taxes

The credit union sells goods and services only on the territory of Ukraine, in this regard, geographical segments are not distinguished.

If the credit union expands and new activities emerge, it will present financial statements in accordance with IAS 8.

Forms of financial reporting

Format of financial statements IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” does not establish a single format of financial statements, provides a list of indicators that must be provided in each form of reporting and in the notes.

The list and names of the financial reporting forms of the credit union meet the requirements established by NP (S) BU 1 “General requirements for financial reporting”. The financial statements in accordance with IFRS are included in the most relevant lines of the financial statements approved by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. Additional information, as required by IFRS / IAS, is disclosed in the notes to the annual financial statements.

– The statement of financial performance (Statement of comprehensive income) provides for the presentation of expenses recognized in profit or loss, according to the classification based on the method of “cost function” or “cost of sales”, according to which costs are classified according to their functions as part of cost or for example, costs of sales or administrative activities.

The level of materiality chosen by the Credit Union and fixed in its accounting policy is set at 10% of the income from any activity of the credit union.

Correction of amounts of previous periods

The submitted financial statements do not correct the amounts of previous periods.

Events after the balance sheet date

Events after the balance sheet date include all events before the date of approval of the financial statements before issue, even if these events occur after the disclosure of the financial result or other selective financial information. Pursuant to the provisions of IAS 10, the credit union understands the date of approval of the annual financial statements by the supervisory board as the approval of the financial statements prior to issue. The credit union divides events after the balance sheet date into those that require adjustment after the reporting period and those that do not require adjustment after the reporting period. The date of approval of the financial statements before issue and information on events after the balance sheet date are given in Note 16.

Additional classifications and estimates related to the loan portfolio

In accordance with the requirements of the regulator and the Regulations on financial services, the credit union classifies the loan portfolio by purpose, maturity and allocates and controls loans that are high-risk loans. Information on the classification of the loan portfolio by purpose in terms of loans, loan balances, extended loans and overdue loans 2-4 overdue loans is set out in lines 011-0153, columns 3-11 of Annex 6 to the Reporting data “Reporting data on credit activities of credit unions “, which are part of the annual report of the credit union, which the credit union submits to Natskomfinposlug. Information on high-risk loans is reflected in columns 14-15 of Annex 6 to the Reporting Data “Reporting data on credit activities of the credit union”,

Risk management

In accordance with the Risk Management Policy approved by the credit union’s supervisory board, the credit union identifies liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk as the main possible risks of the credit union.

Liquidity risk relates to the availability of sufficient funds to repay contributions and repay other financial liabilities related to financial instruments when they mature.

Occurs due to the inability of the credit union to prevent a decrease in liabilities or to finance an increase in the loan portfolio. It is determined by the amount of unearned income in the case of forced sale of assets at current value to cover the liquidity gap or the amount of excess costs incurred in the case of forced borrowing to solve problems related to lack of liquid assets.

The main body of liquidity risk management is the board of the credit union, whose powers include making management decisions on liquidity management, development of proposals for raising funds and more.

To manage liquidity risk, a credit union uses the following methods:

• control over financial liquidity standards in accordance with the requirements of the National Commission for Regulation of Financial Services Markets;
• restrictions on attracting short-term financial liabilities or restrictions on long-term lending;
• introduction of a balanced interest rate policy, which is focused on long-term attraction and short-term lending.

The analysis of financial assets and financial liabilities by maturity is given in a separate table Notes 10

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk covers three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.

Given that interest rates on loans and deposits do not depend on fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, the credit union considers market risk insignificant. The credit union accrues interest at fixed interest rates in accordance with the interest rate policy established by the supervisory board.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the existing or potential risk that one party to a financial instrument contract will be unable to meet its obligations and will cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Credit risk arises as a result of credit operations of a credit union with members, as a result of which financial assets arise.

Credit risk management is carried out by making management decisions aimed at achieving the goal of obtaining the maximum possible income with minimal risk of losses based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of the credit portfolio of the credit union. Criteria for assessing the financial condition of the borrower are established by the Regulations of the credit union on financial services and separate decisions of the supervisory board.

The objectives of credit risk management are:

-participation in the approval and supervision of all credit obligations of borrowers in accordance with internal procedures.

-providing a balanced structure of the total loan portfolio;

-ensuring the proper formation of reserves in accordance with the accepted risks.

Credit risk is minimized through the formation of reserves, limiting credit operations, the formation of effective interest rate policy, constant quantitative and qualitative analysis of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio diversification, maintaining a sufficient level of equity.

Credit risk management methods are:

-study and assessment of the borrower’s creditworthiness;

-secured loans;

-monitoring of receivables (monitoring);

-diversification and / or concentration of the loan portfolio;

-creation of reserves.

These methods are interdependent, often follow from each other and complement each other, so for the most effective results, the credit union practices their integrated application.

Mandatory credit risk measurement requirements established by the relevant Regulations of the regulator, in particular, Order №7, are used to assess and analyze the actual level of credit risk.

The credit union monitors compliance with the requirements of Natskomfinposlug to credit unions specified in Order Роз7, operationally, daily and monthly.

The following structural subdivisions of the credit union take part in the credit risk management process:

-the management of the credit union,

-credit committee.

The general management of credit risk is entrusted to the credit committee of the credit union.

The main functions of the credit committee include the analysis of the structure of the loan portfolio and the required size of the reserve to cover losses from outstanding loans, decision-making on measures to repay overdue and bad debts.

The current management of credit risk is carried out by the board of the credit union.

The main tasks of current management are to ensure lending, cost-effective and optimal allocation of available resources, control over the lending activities of separate divisions of the credit union, credit risk assessment and calculation of the provision for losses from unpaid loans. The Board determines the value of the mortgaged property, participates in inspections of the condition of the mortgaged property, organizes the sale of the mortgaged property.

Details of credit risk information and calculations of asset quality standards are provided in a separate table of Note 10.

5. Basis of measurement used in preparing the financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recognized in the financial statements. Estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Although these estimates are based on management’s best understanding of current events and operations, actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Estimates mainly include:

– Impairment of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IFRS 36 “Impairment of Assets” – A credit union reviews the carrying amount of non-current tangible assets (mainly property, plant and equipment) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment;

– Useful lives of property, plant and equipment – A credit union determines the useful lives of at least once a year, at the end of each financial year, and if deviations from previous estimates are expected, changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in accounting estimates and errors “;

– Provision for doubtful debts – The credit union determines whether or not it creates a reserve for doubtful debts to cover possible losses.

Tax Legislation – There are currently a number of laws and regulations in force in Ukraine regarding various taxes and fees levied by both state and local governments. Taxes that apply include income tax, payroll taxes, excise duties, and other taxes and fees. The laws governing these taxes often change, and their provisions are often vague or undeveloped, there are different views on the interpretation of legal norms, which causes general uncertainty and creates grounds for conflict situations. These facts create tax risks that far outweigh the risks in countries with more developed tax systems.

The interpretation of the credit union’s management of the legislation applicable to the operations and activities of the credit union may be challenged by the relevant fiscal authorities. The events that have taken place and are taking place in Ukraine indicate that the tax authorities may take a tougher stance in interpreting the law and verifying tax calculations. Taxes, fines, and penalties may be added as consequences.

As a result, the credit union’s assets and operations may be subject to risk in the event of any adverse changes in the political and economic environment.

Tax risks – risks that arise when a credit union adopts positions on the calculation of income tax, and can be challenged by the tax authorities and lead to the accrual of taxes, fines, changes in existing tax losses or profits, according to the management of the credit union are in the usual uncertain limits with a low probability of realization.

10. Risk management

According to the management of the credit union as of December 31, 2017, the relevant provisions of the law are interpreted correctly, the probability of maintaining the financial position in which the credit union is in connection with tax, currency and customs legislation is high. For those cases when, in the opinion of the management of the credit union, there are significant doubts about the preservation of this provision of the credit union in the financial statements recognized the appropriate obligations.

In the course of its economic activity, a credit union is exposed to a number of risks that are inherent in both the sphere of professional activity in particular and economic activity in general. The credit union’s overall risk management policy aims to minimize the potential consequences for the credit union.

The credit union’s risk management system consists of a set of defined rules and procedures aimed at identifying, assessing and managing business risks, taking into account its risk profile (a set of its inherent types of risk).

The system of appropriate measures to prevent and minimize the impact of risks consists of the following elements :

• internal control / audit (responsible employee)
• corporate governance (organizational structure, subordination and functions of officials and employees, distribution of rights and responsibilities, rules and procedures for decision-making, activities and control).

Among the risks, the credit union identifies significant risks for it, ie the implementation of which will have a significant impact on the activity or financial condition, determines measures to prevent and minimize the impact. The credit union considers credit, market, operational risk and liquidity risk to be   significant .

The risk management system is developed and approved by the supreme governing body, is an internal document that regulates the operation and defines the risk profile and system of measures to prevent and minimize the impact of risks on the credit union, and establishes rights, responsibilities and responsibilities in the risk management process. .

The risks that may arise in the course of professional activities include the following types:

General financial risk (bankruptcy risk) – the risk of inability to continue the activities of the credit union, which may occur when the financial condition of the credit union, the quality of its assets, capital structure, losses from its activities all due to excess costs over income

Currency risk

The Credit Union was not exposed to currency risk as at 31 December 2017, as it had no monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and no effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and gold.

Commodity risk – the current or future profit of a credit union may be adversely affected by changes in market prices for goods and services of the credit union, as well as fluctuations in prices for derivative financial instruments whose underlying asset is goods and services.

Interest rate and equity risk – the negative effects of fluctuations in prices for financial instruments, interest rates.

For the credit union at the end of the reporting period and during 2017, commodity, equity and interest rate risks  were quite significant .

Credit union management recognizes that fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument affect both the credit union’s income and the value of its net assets. Aware of the significant risks in this environment (financial system of Ukraine), the management of the Credit Union controls the share of assets placed in financial instruments in order to effectively use free funds for maximum income.

Credit risk – For a credit union, the main financial instrument exposed to credit risk is trade and other receivables . The company minimizes its credit risk by concluding agreements with customers with appropriate credit histories. Other financial statements are not subject to credit risk. Despite the fact that the solvency of credit union debtors is determined by various economic factors, the credit union’s management believes that the provision for doubtful debts is sufficient to compensate for possible losses associated with non-repayment of doubtful debts.

The credit union has no debts for more than 3 years. Cash is placed in banks, which at the time of opening accounts have a minimal risk of default and are considered sufficiently reliable. The maximum amount of credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of financial assets .

Measures to prevent and minimize the impact of credit risk applied by the management of the credit union:

-establishment of an internal limitation on the amount of receivables in the assets of the credit union

– limits on debt obligations to one counterparty

-diversification of the structure of receivables

-analysis of solvency of counterparties

-implementation of measures to prevent the presence of overdue receivables in the assets

Management applies credit policies and monitors its exposure to credit risk on an ongoing basis.

In 2017, an analysis of the concentration of credit risk by the largest counterparties was conducted, an analysis of maturities and a provision was made to cover doubtful debts. The amount of the accrued reserve for doubtful debts as of 31.12.2017 amounted to 3753 thousand UAH, credit risk has an impact on financial performance as of 31.12.2017.

Liquidity risk – the risk that the credit union will have difficulty with the settlement of financial liabilities carried out in cash or other financial assets at the end of the reporting period is  negligible.

Measures to prevent and minimize the impact of liquidity risk

-balance of assets by maturity with liabilities by maturity

-maintaining a certain amount of assets in liquid form

-establishment of internal restrictions on the amount of funds raised to finance activities

-balancing of incoming and outgoing cash flows

-planning of current liquidity
