Allowance for loan and lease losses

Get support for your ALLL policies and procedures


Financial services organizations face intense scrutiny of their allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) policies and procedures, but might only have minimal direction on critical calculations and adjustments. Our team has extensive experience helping financial services organizations of all sizes maintain compliance with ALLL interagency guidance and relevant Financial Accounting Standards Board standards, including Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450-20-30 and ASC 310-10-35.

Crowe offers an industry-driven ALLL solution that addresses five areas of critical concern:

  • Documentation: Comprehensive policies and procedures
  • Methodology: Portfolio segmentation based on homogenous risk characteristics
  • Qualitative factors: Quantified and rationalized
