WEBINAR DETAILS
CECL fundamentally changed the way that community financial institutions estimate loan losses, and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-08 recently amended CECL for purchased loans. Increasing delinquency and charge-off trends have compounded provisioning, and profitability has suffered across the industry. The evaluation of qualitative factors and forecast adjustments has been challenging. In addition, there are ongoing model risk management aspects to take into consideration, including model validation. We want to set you up for success during your next audit and examination by sharing common findings and recommended practices. Let’s go!
