On November 21, 2011, the regulatory agencies proposed changes to the 2012 Call Report to provide data needed for safety and soundness or other public purposes. Two of the proposed changes would affect the March, 2012 Call report (for thrifts converting to the call report), but most of the proposed changes would be effective with the June, 2012 Call Report.
The Call Report - Recent Changes, Highlights, and Pitfalls webinar is designed for experienced preparers and reviewers . The webinar will cover the 2012 revisions and recently approved changes to the call report, as well as updates due to revisions in accounting standards, other areas of concern, and common errors made during call report preparation. A classification priority for schedule RC-C will also be reviewed. All loan schedules, including loan income and averages, are required to be reported using RC-C definitions of loan types. Loans must be reported using a classification priority that considers several factors -- borrower, purpose, and collateral; reporting should not be based on purpose or class coding.
Proposed revisions include:
March, 2012 (for thrifts converting to the call report)
RC-M, New line items would be added to report on the test used to determine compliance with the Qualified Thrift Lends requirement and whether have remained in compliance with the requirement RC-R, Revisions to existing items used in the calculation of the leverage ratio denominator June, 2012
New schedule, RI-C, Disaggregated Data on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - would be required for banks with total assets of $1 billion or more New schedule, RC-U, Loan Origination Activity - would be required for banks with total assets of $300 million or more RC-N, new memo item to report total outstanding balance and related carrying amount of purchased credit impaired loans RC-P, new items to report amount of representation and warranty reserves for 1-4 family residential mortgage loans sold with a separate disclosure of reserves for representations and warranties made to U.S. government and governments sponsored agencies and to the other parties Instructional clarifications: Discontinued use of specific valuation allowances (SVA's) by savings associations RC-O, M1a1, reporting the number of deposit accounts of $250,000 or less by banks that have issued certain brokered deposits
Who Should Attend?
This update will benefit the more experienced Call Report preparers, reviewers, and auditors. It will supplement annual comprehensive Call Report training recommended by bank regulators.
