In this course we explore the implications of the new CECL (Current Expected Credit Losses) allowance models for credit portfolio management and the allowance process. Under CECL allowances are generally more reactive to changes in the credit environment (by intent), with a more pronounced manifestation of concentration risk. This should have organizations quantify concentration risk in the allowance process and in credit portfolio management. Finally, we explore the degree to which CECL’s forward looking measures lend themselves to more robust measurement and management of concentration risk.
