For those who adopted CECL in 2020, it definitely was a challenge with the uncertain and dynamic environment.

There are certainly lessons learned from the 2020 adoption and key takeaways for 2023 adopters. Now that we have a look in the mirror on how CECL performs under severe economic conditions, how does that inform a credit union’s approach to CECL adoption? How are 2020 adopters adapting and maintaining their CECL adoption? Join this workshop for perspectives on implementation and audit approach.
