Impactful Policy Frameworks
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Modernization (Ongoing)
Ongoing efforts by federal regulators (OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC) to modernize the Community Reinvestment Act, aiming to better assess how banks meet the credit needs of the communities they serve, including low- and moderate-income areas, with a focus on digital activities.
This policy will require Itasca Bank & Trust Co. to potentially reassess and expand its community development activities and reporting to include digital services and investments beyond its immediate physical branch locations, impacting its lending and investment strategies.
CECL (Current Expected Credit Loss) Standard (FASB ASC 326) Implementation (2020-2023)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326, known as CECL, requires financial institutions to recognize lifetime expected credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost, rather than waiting for an actual loss event.
CECL requires Itasca Bank & Trust Co. to significantly change how it accounts for loan losses, potentially leading to higher allowances for credit losses and impacting profitability and capital management.
Basel III Endgame Proposal (2023)
The Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC proposed amendments to the capital requirements for larger banks (including those with over $100 billion in assets, which could influence smaller banks indirectly) to align more closely with the international Basel III framework, focusing on operational risk and market risk.
While primarily targeting larger banks, this proposal could indirectly influence capital adequacy expectations and risk management practices for community banks like Itasca Bank & Trust Co., potentially leading to stricter internal controls and reporting requirements.
