NAFCU issues Final Reg on NCUA’s transition to CECL
the NCUA’s final rule regarding the current expected credit loss (CECL) standard methodology. The association's Final Regulation Alerts are member-only resources that feature full text and easy to read summaries for final rulemakings affecting credit unions.
The CECL transition will determine a credit union’s net worth classification under PCA, the NCUA establish a three-year phase-in of the day-one adverse impacts of the CECL accounting standard on a federally-insured credit union’s net worth ratio.
In NAFCU’s Final Regulation summary, the association noted that:
- The phase-in will only be applied to those FICUs that adopt the CECL standard for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022. Early adopters will not be eligible.
- In general, the phase-in will operate by supplementing nominal retained earnings and total assets with a “transitional amount,” measured as the difference between pre-CECL and post-CECL retained earnings.
- The final rule also exempts FICUs with less than $10 million in assets from complying with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in determining their charges for loan losses and, instead, permits these FICUs to use any reasonable reserve methodology to cover known and probable loan losses.
- The final rule also clarifies that state-chartered FICUs with less than $10 million in assets and that are required by state law to comply with GAAP are eligible for the transition phase-in.
The rule became effective June 24. For detailed background information of the finalized rule, including a section-by-section analysis, view the Final Regulation.

The law contains 92 provisions, many of which are designed to expand retirement savings and coverage and simplify retirement plan rules. A number of these provisions will serve as the foundation for new plan formation among small businesses and may propel overall increased participation and savings rates. This is one of the largest pieces of retirement plan legislation in some time. This legislation has been anticipated for nearly a year, with key features contained in previously proposed bills presented over the last several years. While some of these features are identical to what was previously proposed, others have been modified to some extent in the final version of the law.
