Financial Instruments: The Way Forward — Discussions on ASC 326 and CECL’s Impact on Corporations

Learn more about CECL Credit Losses

ASC 326 on credit losses will usher in a new era of credit measurement, transitioning from an incurred to an expected credit loss model (CECL). This accounting change will require estimating expected credit losses, reporting those losses upfront, and adjusting them over the life of the loan.

Across industries, many publicly traded companies that hold financial assets such as trade and loan receivables will likely see an impact. They will need to assess and implement the standard, coordinate with auditors, draft disclosures, revise financial credit loss models, and onboard new technologies. Companies are also responding to the new hedge accounting standard ASC 815, which promises to simplify accounting and refine corporate risk strategy.

View discussions below from Financial Instruments: The Way Forward, an event hosted by Bloomberg Tax and Deloitte. Chief financial officers, controllers, financial accountants, auditors, analysts, and other accounting professionals convened to discuss how corporations should respond to the new ASC 326 standard on credit losses.
