Description

The FASB's credit losses standard, the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) model, will bring changes for both financial management and operations. As community banks are developing their path for adoption, questions arise on how to obtain data, which data is needed, which approach or model makes sense, what governance should be in place.
