When using this approach, reporting entities should be aware of modelling anomalies, such as customers that consistently fall in a particular delinquency category (e.g., a customer that consistently pays at 90 days), large writeoff or recovery activity from a particular customer or type of customer, and the method with which a reporting entity pools assets for purposes of the model.

Counts are subject to sampling, reprocessing and revision (up or down) throughout the day. To generate the most complete picture of historical losses, RiskSpan constructs multiple overlapping static pools within the historical dataset of a given segment and calculates the average of the lifetime loss rates of all fully aged static pools.

These estimates can also be used outside of a cash flow context; we can summarize these monthly estimates into a cumulative default probability and corresponding exposure-at-default and loss-given-default estimates, which yield a single lifetime loss rate estimate.

The limitation of this approach is that it does not differentiate loss forecasts based on the banks macroeconomic outlook, which is a core requirement of CECL, so a bank using this method will need to incorporate its macroeconomic outlook via management adjustments and qualitative factors (Q-factors).

Given these considerations, the Board continues to believe that a phase-in issued on the authority provided by section 216 of the FCU Act is the most effective, administratively simple, and quickest manner to mitigate the day-one impacts of CECL implementation on FICUs. The statute, however, also provides an exception to GAAP compliance for FICUs with total assets of less than $10,000,000, unless prescribed by the Board or an appropriate State credit union supervisor.[16]. endstream
