Financial Instrument Credit Losses FASB Exposure Draft
Robin Hoag, CPA, CGMA, CMC, a Shareholder in the Financial Institutions Group at Doeren Mayhew, focused on proposed regulations changing from an “Incurred Loss model” to a “Current Expected Credit Loss” model, meaning metrics will be linked to banking portfolios whether C&I, CRE, residential real estate, consumer loan, etc. The rule will change the way allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) is handled, a change that is important, pervasive and significant. Hoag encouraged banks to comment to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on the proposed changes before deliberations end in April 2013. Banks are also encouraged to explore how the changes will impact their pricing models, capital and return on shareholder equity.
