CECL 2020 Update: Learn All 7 Methodologies

CECL methodology will begin to take effect starting in 2020 for some institutions. Banks should be preparing now to make sure they understand how the new model will affect their profitability and planning. To make the best decision for their bank, bankers should understand the different types of methodology available.

CECL will be unique in that bankers will now have to predict loan losses for the entire life of the loan portfolio. In this webinar, you will learn the seven different methodologies that have been developed to meet the requirements of CECL. We will go through each of the methodologies to explain in-depth how each one can be applied to your institution.
