Has your institution been running a model during 2022? Have you considered all the other aspects around CECL implementation including the three lines of model, policies, and maturity of risk governance?

Longstanding economic assumptions, relationships and metrics are less relevant in today’s economy. Federal Reserve policy decisions are more obviously fraught with peril. Politics and the political climate have assumed increasing importance. Demographic shifts – with potentially large impacts - have accelerated. In an environment characterized by crisis, uncertainty and complexity these trends are magnified – with important implications for accountants, auditors, and all those interested in credit union operations. Significant labor market improvements have occurred quickly but have been uneven. Ligi will explore these and related themes and will discuss implications for credit unions over the year ahead.

Despite the recent downturn in cryptocurrency prices that ushered in the current “crypto winter” there is still phenomenal interest and transactions taking place in the space. Today, the focus is still on speculative investing and, unfortunately, a “get-rich-quick” mentality. But where are we going? And what kind of future will we discover there? Surprisingly, the answers lie in our past. This session will explore the many parallels to the early days of the internet, then step forward to take a look at potential future scenarios, including the use of blockchain in real estate. See this short video for an overview of cryptocurrency: https://www.pscu.com/video/202...

Over the past several years, risk management has gone through distinct phases in response to COVID, consumer expectations, remote workforce, and regulatory requirements. For this session we have assembled a panel of credit union professionals who are excited to share their experiences in the unique set of demands in developing or enhancing your enterprise risk management program to include responding to the changes in the external environment that has led to extended risk profile, increased fraud threats, and effective mitigating controls. Our panel is comprised of individuals within the credit union and those from the outside. We think this combination will give a rounded look at risk to the credit union system in current and near-future environments.

This year has been harder than most to predict upcoming regulatory changes and examiner areas of focus. While credit unions can anticipate some changes and emphasis in areas such as Bank Secrecy Act, fair lending and UDAAP, other areas like fees are transforming in surprising ways. Please join Doeren Mayhew’s John Zasada as he explores why and how the CFPB’s focus has pivoted, and in turn regulators like the NCUA have followed suit. Additionally, he will discuss evolving areas like websites, overdrafts, the CFPB and more.

With extreme uncertainty around the trajectory of inflation, and therefore corresponding Fed policy, managing interest rate risk is of ultimate importance. Following the NCUA’s relaxing of the derivative rule set in May of 2021, this tool is now much more readily accessible and in many instances is the most efficient and practical solution for risk mitigation. This session will explore the recent ruling, how tools such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors can mitigate risk using case studies, and finally the path one follows to establish an appropriately governed derivatives platform within a credit union.

Join this session for a stroll through the 2021 AICPA CECL A&A Guide. The AICPA CECL task force has been progressing towards the issuance of an AICPA Guide since before the FASB finalized ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” also known as CECL. In 2019, the AICPA issued Practice Aid, “Allowance for Credit Losses —Audit Considerations.” Using the Practice Aid as a starting point, the AICPA CECL A&A Guide provides authoritative auditing guidance, provide implementation observations from 2020 adopters, and incorporates accounting issues addressed by the FASB’s Transition Resource Group (TRG) and the AICPA’s Financial Reporting Executive Committee (FinREC).

There are three common attributes of high-performing financial institutions, regardless of the current Fed rate or market volatility. Learn how staying disciplined in the face of others’ concern better positions your balance sheet in a changing rate environment.
Part one of this cautionary two-part session will begin with an overview of current market conditions and the factors impacting the economic outlook. Industry experts will then begin to break down the three principles of high-performing financial institutions: disciplined asset pricing, understanding deposit franchise value, and the importance of hedging.
