The value of estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses is highly underrated. Many bankers are so intent on staying abreast and in compliance with regulatory and accounting rules that they miss the significance of managing the reserves. Management needs to be proactive and understand the risks inherent in their loan portfolios in addition to attending to regulatory concerns. The purpose of the reserve is to quantify the potential loss a lender may have as a result of risks inherent in the loan and loan portfolios. Managing the amount is critical to bank earnings, bank capital and job security for the CEO and other bank executives.
This webinar will cover issues that are central to estimating your ALLL, including:
- Unraveling the complex regulatory and accounting requirements
- Creating strong documentation consistent with current regulations
- Valuing the portion of the reserve allocated to impaired loans - (FASB 114)

- Valuing the reserve allocated to the general risk portion - (FASB 5)
- Stratification of loan portfolio
- What historical loss time frame is appropriate to use?
