MBA Education Webinar Jan. 25: Current Expected Credit Loss Implementation Technical Topics

MBA Education presents a Webinar, Current Expected Credit Loss Implementation Technical Topics, on Wednesday, Jan. 25 from 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET.

The Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. CECL takes a forward view of losses based on broader set of factors and requires entities to identify and evaluate a margin for lifetime expected credit losses.

Join MBA and industry professionals for an overview of the CECL standard and a discussion on key technical implementation challenges. This webinar will examine lessons learned for those entities that have already adopted this highly subjective standard. Participants will learn the general principles of CECL, how to incorporate recent technical developments into a CECL implementation plan and takeaway practical guidance based on lessons learned from those who have already adopted the standard.
