SUBJECT: Webinar on Recent and Proposed Revisions to the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report)
The federal banking agencies, under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), will conduct a webinar for bankers to discuss the revisions to the FFIEC 051 Call Report that took effect in 2019 and the changes to this report that are proposed to take effect beginning with the March 31, 2020, report date. Institutions with less than $5 billion in total assets that meet certain other criteria are eligible to file the FFIEC 051 Call Report. The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2019, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Eastern Time.
The webinar will cover the Call Report revisions resulting from the:
(1) Banking agencies’ final rule implementing Section 205 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act on reduced reporting in Call Reports (see FIL-35-2019, dated July 5, 2019);
(2) New accounting standard on credit losses (see FIL-10-2019, dated March 5, 2019);
(3) Capital simplifications and community bank leverage ratio final rules (see FIL-68-2019, dated November 5, 2019);
(4) Exclusion of certain reciprocal deposits from being treated as brokered deposits (see FIL-10-2019); and
(5) New accounting standard on leases (see FIL-68-2019).
The webinar also will summarize the revisions to the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 Call Reports, where applicable. A question-and-answer period will follow the webinar presentations. Institutions are encouraged to submit questions before the webinar by emailing CallReportsTaskForce@occ.treas.gov. Participants also will be able to submit questions electronically during the webinar via the entry link below. A recording of the webinar will be archived for viewing after the event.
