Minneapolis, MN (April 19, 2017) – OnApproach (www.onapproach.com), the leading provider of Big Data and Analytics for credit unions, with NAFCU and Allied Solutions, has sponsored an extensive study on the new CECL regulations to help credit unions understand the regulations and determine how to best implement the necessary changes.
The study, titled “The Deep Future Analytics CECL Study: Alternatives, Impacts, Accuracy and Complexity”, is authored by Dr. Joseph L. Breeden. It takes an in-depth look at the new regulations, how credit unions can meet these new compliance expectations, and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Dr. Breeden simplifies the complexities associated with CECL and answers many of the questions credit unions are facing regarding the new regulations.
“The new accounting rules for estimating loan loss reserves offer general guidelines and a list of possibilities, but no specific recommendations for how best to implement those rules. The present study uses a large mortgage dataset from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to test a range of models and options. The results quantify the pros and cons of these options,” stated Joseph Breeden, Principal Investigator.
“We are proud to sponsor this CECL study. There is a lot of anxiety throughout the industry regarding the CECL regulations. As a CUSO, we are dedicated to serving credit unions and helping to provide a sound future through analytics. This investigation into CECL serves as a great resource for credit unions to utilize when preparing for and deciding how to handle this challenge,” said Paul Ablack, CEO, OnApproach.
