An entity must estimate cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial asset (e.g., prepayments, duration, call options, and similar) over the expected life of that financial asset. Cash flows considered will include those from the sale of maintained collateral or other credit enhancements that are an integral part of the contractual terms.

It is the complement of the recovery rate of contractual cash flows. ss) Transaction price: Price paid to acquire an asset or received to assume a liability (entry price), which may differ from fair value at initial recognition, for example, if the market in which the transaction takes place is different from the principal market. tt) Probability of Default (PD): The probability of occurrence of the default event in a specific time period (e.g., over 12 months or while the contract is in effect). uu) Backtesting: Consists of comparing, for a given period, the estimated results with the actually generated results as stated in the Model Risk Management Regulation, approved by Resolution SBS No. 053-2023. vv) Market Risk Regulation: Regulation for the Management of Market Risks, approved by Resolution SBS No. 4906-2017 and amendments. ww) SPPI: Cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. xx) Superintendence: Banking, Insurance, and Private Pension Fund Administrators Superintendence. yy) Effective interest rate: Discount rate that exactly equates the estimated cash flows to be received or paid over the expected life of the financial instrument with the gross book value of the financial asset or amortized cost of a financial liability. For this calculation, the entity estimates cash flows considering all contractual conditions of the financial instrument, not considering expected credit losses. The effective interest rate calculation will include all commissions and interest paid or received by the parties to the contract, which integrate the effective interest rate, as well as transaction costs and any other premium or discount. zz) Validation: In accordance with the Model Risk Management Regulation, approved by Resolution SBS No. 053-2023 and amendments. aaa) Value in use: Present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be obtained from an asset or cash-generating unit. bbb) Fair value: Price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal (or most advantageous in the absence of a principal) market on the measurement date, and under current market conditions regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. ccc) Time value of money: The time value of money is the interest element that provides consideration solely for the passage of time.
