📊 Completed an IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Model in Excel
One of the biggest challenges I faced was building the Stage 1, Stage 2 & Stage 3 classification logic correctly.
A small error in SICR, days-past-due, or credit-risk conditions could change an exposure from 12-month ECL to Lifetime ECL and materially affect the impairment calculation.
I solved this by building a formula-driven staging engine that connects the credit-risk inputs directly with the ECL calculation.
The model also covers:
• AC / FVOCI / FVTPL classification
• Probability-weighted ECL scenarios
• Trade Receivables Provision Matrix
• ECL Allowance Rollforward
• Hedge Effectiveness & Journal Entries
• IFRS 7 Disclosures & Sensitivity Analysis
This project was a great combination of accounting logic + Excel automation + financial modeling.
BEFORE: Client had messy Excel inventory with 500 rows, duplicates (A12 / a12), blanks, wrong prices like "$ 2.5" and "N/A", and different warehouse names (KER / ker / Kericho).

Removed 12 duplicate SKUs
Standardized item names to Title Case
Fixed QTY and Prices to 2 decimals
Unified Warehouse to Kericho
Made sheet ready for pivot dashboard
Result: Clean, ready-to-use inventory in 2 days using Excel.
Tools: Excel, Remove Duplicates, Text to Columns, TRIM, PROPER
Cleaned and formatted a raw dataset in Excel by removing duplicates, fixing formatting issues, handling missing values, and organizing the data into a structured format for analysis.
