For those who adopted CECL in 2020, it definitely was a challenge with the uncertain and dynamic environment. Given the delay from FASB and the pandemic, many credit unions likely hit the pause button on their CECL implementation efforts. 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.

She will also examine the changing global and political environment, and how it will affect the economic recovery. Participants will leave this session able to advise management teams on the possible effect of economic issues on their organizations.

Presenters will share experiences, best practices, and actions to assist you in your journey of advancing DEI.

The last two years have changed how we do things whether we work at a credit union or are an auditor.

This session will provide examples of unique accounting matters that do not occur every day. Also covered will be the types of challenges and unique situations audit professionals have been faced with due to the current financial and economic environment.

We will explore the myriad of ways the tone in Washington DC has changed and its impact on credit union regulatory compliance. However, just knowing the tone has changed does not adequately prepare you for the changes. In this session, we will dive into the implications of the regulatory agencies abruptly turning more towards consumer protection. We will discuss the potential changes to specific rules and regulations impacting credit unions. We will also cover areas examiners will be focusing on, the compliance implications from the pandemic, and hot button regulatory compliance requirements. Expect a fast-pace session touching on dozens of important regulatory issues.
Scenario planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a solid framework, scenario planning can be fun, while also being highly effective in helping leadership teams paint a picture of what could be and think through possible consumer responses and financial outcomes. This session is designed to stretch participants thinking.
