Highlights:
-
The FASB proposes to adopt an expected credit loss approach that would
replace several methods now used in accounting for credit losses, including
loans where impairment is now based on a probable incurred-loss model. The
proposal would apply to loans and debt securities carried at amortized cost
and fair value with changes reported in other comprehensive income. The
proposal is intended to require more timely recog¬nition of credit
losses.
-
Bankers are encouraged to review the FASB's ASU and submit comments to the
FASB on those aspects of the proposal of interest to them. The FASB extended
its comment deadline from April 30 to May 31, 2013. The ASU can be accessed
at http://www.fasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=Document_C&pagename=FASB%2FDocument_C%2FDocumentPage&cid=1176160587228.
The FASB has also provided an Electronic Feedback Form at https://www.fafsurveys.org/se.ashx?s=4CA36E9212DA4751.
