Savings end tomorrow on CECL, other accounting changes webcast

Early-bird savings of $100 ends Wednesday on NAFCU's Jan. 6 webcast discussing generally accepted accounting principles, focusing on recent changes to guidance for troubled debt restructurings, goodwill accounting and the credit loss standard.

CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Senior Audit Manager Chuck Kelly and Audit Manager A.J. Eschle will lead the webcast and will discuss the "current expected credit loss" standard under review now by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The CECL standard is expected to be made final in the first quarter of 2016.

They will also discuss changes to the defined benefit mortality tables and other pending guidance from FASB.

Credit union viewers of the webcast will learn how to prepare for FASB's CECL standard and account for a collateral-dependent loan, among other things. The webcast begins at 2 p.m. Eastern.

The Jan. 6 webcast is part of NAFCU's accounting compliance Webcast Series. The webcast will be available on-demand for a year after its broadcast through NAFCU's Online Training Center.
