in
ways
that

r that adversely affects its business.
Cybersecurity
risks
for
f

in

hav
e
significantly
increased
in
recent
years
in
par
t
becau
se
o
f
the

the
use o

and
the

and

o
f
organised
crime, hackers,
terrorists and oth
er external extremist parties, inclu
ding foreign state acto
rs, in some
circumstances as a m
eans to promo
te political ends.
In addition
to the
growing sophistication
of certain
par
ties,
th
e
co
mmoditisation of
cyber tools
which are
able
to
be
wea
ponised
by
less
sop
histicated
actor
s
has
led
to
an
increase
in
th
e
exploitation
o
f
technolog
ical
vulnerab
ilities. Further,
foreign state actors
hav
e become more
soph
isticated over time,
increasing the risk
o
f
such
an
attack.
Any
of
these
p
arties
may
also
attem
pt
to
f
r
audulently
induce
employ
ees,
customers,
clients,
vendors or o
ther third parties or users of
Morgan Stanley systems.
Cybersecurity
risks
may
also
derive
from
human
error,
fraud
or
malice
on
the
part
of
employ
ees
or
third
parties, includ
ing third party
pro
viders, or may
result from
accidental techno
logical failure. These risks may
be
heightened
by
the
COVID
-19
pandemic,
which
has
caused
the
majority
of
employees
to
wo
rk
remotely
and access Mor
gan Stanley secure

their home networks.
There is
no
gu
arantee
th
at
the
m
easures
Morgan Stanley
takes
will provide a
bso
lute
secu

or recoverability
given
the
techniques
used
in
cy
ber
-attacks
are
complex
and
frequen
tly
change,
and
m
ay
no
t
b
e
able
to
be
anticipated.
Like
other
financial
serv
ices
firms,
Mor
gan
Stanley,
its
third
party
providers,
and
its
clients
continu
e
to
be
the
subject
of
unauthorised
access
attacks,
mi
shandling
or
m
isuse
of
informatio
n,
computer
viruses
o
r
malware, and
cyber-
attacks.
Such
events could
cau
se interruptions
or
malfuncti
ons
in Morgan
Stanley’s,
its clients’,
employees’,
partners’, vendors’,
counterparties’ or
third
parties’ operations,
as
well
as the
unauthorised
release,
gath
ering,
monitoring, misuse, loss
or destruction of
confidential,
pro
prietary and
other information
of
Mo
rgan Stanley,
its employees, its customers or
of other third parties. Any
o
f t
h
ese events could result
in reputational damage
with
Morg

Stan

clients
and
the
market,
client
dissatisfaction,
ad

costs
to
Morg
an
Stanley
to

litigation
o

or
regulato
ry
fines
or
penalties,
any
of
which
could
adversely
affect
Morgan
Stanley’s business, fin

or results of operations
.
Given Morgan Stanley’s global footprint and the
hig
h volume of transactions processed, the
large number of
clients, partners, vendors
an
d counterparties
with
which
it does business,
and the increasing
sophistication of
cyber
attacks,
information or
security
breach
could occu
r and p
ersist for
an exten
ded period
of time
withou
t
detection.
Morgan
Stan
ley
expects
that
an
y
investigatio
n
of
a
cyb

would
be
inherently
unpredictable
an
d
that
it

Dur

Critical acco

of
estimation
uncertainty
In
preparing
the
financial
statemen

the
Company
makes
jud
gements
and
estimates
th
at
affect
the
application
of
accounting policies and r

Critical accountin
g judgem
ents are key decision
s made
by
management
in
the application
of
the
Company’
s
accounting
policies,
other
than
those
in
volving
estimations,
which
have
the
m
ost
significant
effects
on
the
amounts r
ecognised
in
the financial statements.
Key
so
urces
of
estimation u
ncertainty represent
assum
ptions
an
d esti
mations made
by
m
anagement that
have
a
significant
r
isk
of

lting
in
a
m
aterial
adjustment
to
the carr
ying
amount
of
assets
and
liab
ilities with
in
the next
financial year.
No
critical
acco
unting
judgements
have
been
made
in
the
proce
ss
of
applyin
g
the
Company’s
accounting
policies that h
ave had a
significant effect
on
the
amounts recognised
in
the fin
ancial statements.
The key
source
of
estimation uncertainty
is
the
v
aluation of
Level
3 financial
instruments. Valuation
techniques used to
measure the
fai
r value
of instruments categorised in
Lev
el

of
the fair

dependent
on
unobservable
parameter
s,
and
as
such
require
the

and

The

th

financial
instrumen
ts
h
as
b
een
determ
ined
using
parameters
appropriate
for the
valuation m
ethodology
based on
prevailing
market ev

is rec

that
the

could
have
a

of

See

The

Credit risk is consider
ed to have increased
significantly if the PD has significan
tly increased at the reporting
date
relative
to
th
e
PD
of
the
f
acility,
at
the
date
o
f
initial
recog
nition.
The
assessment
of
wh
ether
a
change
in
PD
is
“significant”
is
b
ased
b
oth
on
a
co
nsideration
of
the
relative
change
in
PD
and
on
qualitative
indicators
of
the
credit
risk
of
the
facility,
which
indicate
whether
a
loan
is
performin
g
or
in
difficulty.
In
addition,
as
a
backstop,
the
Company
considers
that
SICR
has
occurred
in
all
cases
when
an
asset
is
more
than
30
days
past
due.
The
Company
does
not
use
the
‘
low’
cr
edit
risk
practical
ex
pedient,
so
monitors
all
financial instru
ments subject to impair
ment for SICR, with the
exception of
trade receivables, as noted.
In
general, ECL ar
e measured
so
that they
reflect:
•
A probability
-weighted
range of possible ou
tcomes;
•
The time valu
e of money
; and
•
Relevant infor
mation relatin

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFI
CANT ACCO
UNTING P
OLICIES (CONTI
NUED)
f.
Impairment
of
financial instruments
(continued)
Calculation o
f ECL
ECL are calcu
lated using three main co
mponents:
•
PD
:
for
acco
unting
pur
poses,
the
12
m
onth
and
lifetim
e
PD
represen
t
the
expec
ted
point
-
in
-time
probability
of
a
default
over
the
nex
t
12
months
and
over
the
remaining
life
time
of
the
financial
instrument
respectively, based on
conditions existing at the balance shee
t date and future econo
mic
conditions.
•
L
oss
given
default
(“LGD”):
the
LGD
represents
expected
loss
condition
al
on
defau
lt,
taking
into
account
the
mitigating
eff
ect
of
collateral,
including
th
e
expected
value
of
th
e
collateral
when
realised and th
e time value of money
.
•
Exposure
at
d
efault
(“EAD”):
this
represents
the
ex
pected
EAD,
taking
into
acco
unt
the
exp
ected
repaymen
t of principal and interest from
the balance sheet date to the
date of def
ault event together
with any expected
drawdowns of the facility o
ver that period.
These
parameters are
generally derived
from internally
developed statistical
models, incorporating
historical,
current and f
orward-
looking macro
-economic d
ata and country risk
expert judgem
ent. The macro
-ec
onomic
scenarios are rev
iewed quarterly.
The 1
2
month
ECL is
equal
to
th
e
sum
over
the ne
xt
12 months
of
qu
arterly
PD multiplied
by LGD
and
EAD,
with
such
expected
losses
being
discounted
at
the
EIR.
Lifetime
ECL
is
calculated
using
the
discounted
present valu
e of total quarterly PDs multiplied by LGD an
d EAD, over the full rem
aining life of the facility.
When
measuring
ECL,
the
Company
considers
multiple
scenario
s,
except
where
practical
expedients
are
used
to
deter
mine
ECL.
Practical
exped
ients
are
used
wher
e
they
are
consistent
with
t
he
p
rinciples
described
above. ECL
on
certain trade receivables are calculated using a
‘matrix’
approach
which reflects the previous
history
of
credit
losses
on
these
f
inancial
assets,
app
lying
differen
t
pro
vision
lev
els
based
on
the
ag
e
of
the
receivable.
Alternatively where there
is
a history
of
no
cr
edit losses
and where this
is
expected
to
persist into
the future f
or structural
or
other r
easons, such
as
collateral
or
o
ther credit enhan
cement,
it
is
deter
mined
that
the
ECL
fo
r a
financial
instrument
is
de
minimis (highly
immaterial)
an
d
it
may
not
be
necessary
to
recognise
the ECL.
The Company measures ECL
on
an
individual asset
basis and
has
no
purchased
or
or
iginated credit-impaired
financial assets.
If
a
financial
asset
has
been
the
sub
ject
o
f
m
odification
wh
ich
does
not
lead
to
its
derecognition
(refer
accounting policy 3
(e)), SICR is assessed by comparing the risk of default of the financial instrument, based
on
the
m
odified
terms
at
the
rep
orting
date,
with
the
risk
of
def
ault
of
the
fin
ancial
instrument
at
incep
tion,
based on th
e financial instrument’s origin
al, unmodified, terms.
Where
the
mo
dification
of
contractu
al
cash
flows
of
a
financial
asset
lead
s
to
its
der
ecognition
and
the
recognition
o
f
a
new
asset
(refer
to
note
3(e)),
the
date
of
mod
ification
is
treated
as
the
date
of
in
itial
recognition
for
the
n
ew
financial
asset
when
d
etermining
whether
a
SICR
has
occurred
fo
r
that
modified
financial
asset.
In
rare
circu
mstances,
af
ter
modification,
the
new
asset
is
co
nsidered
to
be
cred
it
impaired,
in which case it is trea
