Selecting Peers for CECL: How-Tos & An Example Calculation

Identify appropriate peers for your institution

 

Many financial institutions adopting CECL decide that external information is required to construct a meaningful estimate for at least one material portfolio segment. However, peer selection without a way to determine likely measurement outcomes can lead to unpleasant surprises and re-work, with awkward decision trails left to explain. In this session, we’ll review best practices for identifying potential peer institutions for your estimation and discuss some “worst practices” to help you keep on track with your implementation. 

This live session is eligible for one NASBA CPE credit.
