Modeling Implications of FASB's proposed changes, 28 Mar 2013
Next Tuesday, April 2nd, I will be participating in a webinar on FASB's proposed changes to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.
FASB is proposing that loss reserves will now be based upon a lifetime loss calculation, be forward-looking including macroeconomic scenarios, and use discounted cash flows based upon the effective interest rate of the loan. I will be discussing the modeling implications of these and other criteria. A little like a Basel II model, a little like a stress test model, and elements of a cash flow model - this will not be your old roll rate model.
If you have a 5-year auto loan portfolio, expect roughly 3x higher loss reserves. In the words of one FASB watcher, "This is going to happen."
