Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) CECL Overview New US standard for Credit Impairment Accounting Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in June 2016 Replaces ASC 450-20 (FAS 5) and ASC 310-10 (FAS 114) Defines rules for credit loss allowance estimation Applicable to all banks, savings associations, credit unions, and financial institution holding companies Principle-based Guidance Effective from 2020
Current Standards (FAS 5, FAS 114) CECL Overview Some key changes CECL (ASC 326-20) Current Standards (FAS 5, FAS 114) Incurred Loss Approach Expected Loss Model Probable loss threshold No probable loss threshold Losses expected to incur over the next 12 months Lifetime expected losses from day 1 Forecasts over loss emergence periods “Reasonable and supportable” forecasts + reversion to historical information Wide latitude for judgmental adjustments based on qualitative and environmental factors Increased granularity of judgmental adjustments on front end – including assumptions on economic projections

SAS Expected Credit Loss Reducing time and risk of implementation Requirements and Prioritization Review Accounting Policies Review Models & Methodology Define Governance & Controls Review Data Requirements High-Level Architecture Review and validate install in the defined environments. Define data structure. Define standard rules definition and terminology of processes, model, ETL, GL reconciliation. Define staging and allocation rules. Implement models for one portfolio. Define roles and workflows for review and adjustments. Sprint 1 Focus: Incorporate improvements identified in the first sprint in order to get a stable end-to-end solution. Implement remaining models. Integrate model outputs into workflows and comprehensive reporting. Testing and re-runs. User acceptance tests and Identification of defects. Sprint 2 Focus: Finalization of the models, disclosure reports, and rollout. Address unresolved issues identified in first two sprints. Provide training documentation and support. Sprint 3 Assessment 10

CECL Change Assessment 7 Step Process KPMG and SAS utilize a seven-step approach for change assessment, which includes a readiness diagnostic. The results of this diagnostic allows us to focus the remaining activities on those areas that are most critical to the success of the project. The outcome of the overall assessment phase will facilitate optimal structure of the subsequent design and implementation phases of the CECL transition.
CECL Change Implementation Leveraging the gap analysis and information obtained during the assess phase, the project next moves into the design phase. KPMG and SAS work together to assist the Bank in designing appropriate accounting policies, operational practices, models, and systems & data management approaches in order to create CECL compliant loss projections. This will be the basis of governance and business requirements designed for CECL loss forecasting, and inform the implementation choices made in the final phase.
CECL Change Design KPMG and SAS will assist the Bank in implementing the CECL compliant practices scoped in the assessment and design phases. Using SAS’ proven phased approach for implementation, an initial end-to-end configuration is executed on a representative set of portfolios. This pilot is then expanded to include all relevant portfolios, followed by refinement and testing prior to a final CECL go-live.
