In the Execution track, participants will be introduced to general modeling strategies for CECL and specific requirements from the CECL Guidance for a compliant model. We will also do a deep dive on some of the more prominent historical loss-based methodologies to include Cohort (open pool), Vintage, and PD/LGD (TMM). Discussion around each methodology will include in depth detail on data requirements, decisioning around key assumptions and inputs, and pros and cons.
Participants will work in groups to discuss, make, and execute critical decisions in using the various methodologies and see each of the methodologies in the MST Loan Loss Analyzer along with helpful allowance reports from the software.
In this Execution Track, we will answer these questions and give specifics:
- What are the necessary checkboxes for CECL compliance?
- How do I get to CECL compliance?
- How can I leverage the ALLL model that I have now for CECL?
