The qualitative impact of the new accounting standard is still directed by many of the same factors that impacted the previous methodology for computing the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) including, but not limited to, economic conditions, quality and experience of staff, changes in the value of collateral, concentrations of credit in loan types or industries and changes to lending policies.

Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied historically are still permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.

CECL provides for an "expected loss" model for measuring credit losses, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. The new CECL model requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
