Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Terence O'Rourke:
And one example of that would be in 2008, AIB made provisions, they substantially increased the provisions, but they also said, "We know we're going to face more losses this cycle." So in 2000 and 2009 and 2010 we expected to incur further losses, so they identified the further losses, they estimated them, the estimates turned out to be understated, but they did estimate future additional losses, which are not reflected under IAS 39 in the 2008 accounts.
