2026 risk management playbook: What bankers need to know about CECL, AI, M&A, and regulatory expectations

Five years after CECL implementation, banks and credit unions are facing a new phase of risk management, shaped by evolving regulatory expectations, renewed M&A activity, economic uncertainty, and the growing role of AI. This resource explores how financial institutions can move beyond compliance-driven processes and use CECL, model governance, validation, and credit analysis to support better business decisions. Drawing from insights shared by industry leaders at Abrigo’s 2026 ThinkBIG conference, it offers practical perspective on what risk and finance teams should be preparing for next.

As expectations continue to shift, the most effective institutions will be those that can explain their assumptions, support their conclusions, and turn risk management data into actionable insight. Download the playbook to better understand where regulatory, audit, and strategic priorities are headed in 2026.

You will learn:

  • How regulatory expectations are shifting toward more risk-based oversight
  • Why CECL methodologies should continue evolving beyond implementation
  • How to evaluate model governance and validation through a materiality-based lens
  • What renewed M&A activity means for credit diligence, valuation, and acquisition accounting
  • Where AI can improve efficiency and expand analytical coverage without replacing human judgment
  • How risk management outputs can support capital planning, portfolio management, and strategic decision-making
