RISK-SENSITIVE ACCOUNTING
The Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (FASB) new risk-sensitive accounting requirement, Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL), is challenging financial institutions of every size due to implementation of complex manual processes and cost.
IMPACTS ON CREDIT-LOSS RESERVES
Because CECL replaces the incurred loss approach with the requirement to calculate the expected lifetime loss at any point in time, compliance entails significant, time-consuming changes at every step of the allowance calculation process.
CECL is likely to compel banks to increase their credit-loss reserves significantly, which could lessen how much they can lend to companies and individuals.
Questions to Consider
- What challenges and opportunities do we face with CECL?
- By how much will CECL increase our credit loss reserve?
- How does our approach to model management impact CECL adoption efficiency?
- Are we ready to navigate CECL implementation challenges?
- How can we minimize implementation costs and delays?
- Will CECL lead to profit and loss volatility for us?
