Overview

This One-Hour Briefing will focus on the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) and legal enterprise-wide solutions and disclosures for the FASB’s new financial instrument impairment standard CECL. CECL models require complex new judgments and estimates, and that impacts governance, risk, compliance, legal, technology, finance and the business units of companies.  This new approach applies to all financial instruments, including accounts receivable, loans receivable, mortgages and investments.  Significant enterprise wide implementation solutions will be required in many businesses, particularly financial institutions.
