On June 16th, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, which finalized the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model. A formal joint statement from the federal financial regulators followed. Both documents reiterate that the CECL approach represents a fundamental change in what the ALLL is to represent. However, the documents also continue to emphasize FASB’s and financial regulators’ desire for CECL to be implemented in a manageable way that is not overly costly or complex for community banks.
It is possible for smaller community-based financial institutions to implement CECL’s requirements in a manageable way. Implementation cannot be effortless or without cost, but with a proper preparation plan, the transition can be relatively smooth. This webinar will provide a brief overview of the final CECL standard and recent regulatory statement and focus on practical ways to prepare for the transition. This preparation will involve putting together a project plan, evaluating and enhancing the quality and depth of credit risk data, and possible methodologies for estimating the allowance under CECL.
HIGHLIGHTS
Key takeaways from the final CECL standard and the interagency joint statement
Important aspects of a project plan and recommended timeframes
High-level overview of methodologies to meet CECL’s requirement of estimating expected losses over the life of loans and leases
Data challenges associated with the transition to CECL, including:
How data needs differ from the current ALLL rules
Data necessary for implementing various methodologies, including collection and storage
When might external data be of value to a smaller financial institution? When might it be of little or no value?
Tracking and identifying key drivers of credit risk within an institution’s portfolio to ensure the methodology for estimating expected credit losses is sensitive to changes
What data may be useful in achieving a manageable implementation of CECL’s requirement of considering “reasonable and supportable forecasts” of the future?
How to evaluate whether third-party software is appropriate, even though FASB and regulators have said that such a solution is not necessary for CECL compliance
TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT
Outline of high-level preparation steps to assist in the development of a project plan

In the wake of the financial crisis, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has been very active. Financial accounting for community banks continues to evolve much like compliance regulations. The new standards are more complex and have longer implementation periods. Now is the time to start learning and planning. Recently issued accounting standards and others on the immediate horizon will require additional information from existing systems and will impact decision making at every institution, regardless of asset size.
How will the new lease accounting standard impact your institution’s balance sheet? What is the current status of the new CECL model for accounting for the ALLL? How should your bank prepare for it? What are other important accounting issues auditors and regulators are focusing on in the current environment? This webinar will answer these questions, highlight recent and proposed accounting changes, provide a refresher on accounting topics that are making a comeback, and clarify topics that are continuing to cause confusion.
