CECL Software

alt_moonWhat is CECL?

CECL (Current Expected Credit Loss) is a new accounting standard that requires financial institutions and other companies to estimate and recognize expected credit losses on their loan and debt securities portfolios using a lifetime loss approach. This replaces the previous “Incurred Loss” model and applies to a wide range of financial instruments. It has been in effect for public companies since January 2020 and for private companies since January 2023.
