- Conduct further research and analysis before issuing the proposed Accounting Standards Update, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Vintage Disclosure: Gross Writeoffs and Gross Recoveries, which would require that total gross writeoffs and total gross recoveries be presented by class of financing receivable and major security type within the credit quality information vintage disclosure described in paragraphs 326-20-50-5 through 50-6.
- Hold a public roundtable in January 2019 to discuss the topic in (1) above and a proposal submitted by a group of banks to consider an alternative approach to presenting expected credit losses on the income statement.
The Board expressed support for the staff's efforts to create a question-and answer document that will address particular issues on the weighted-average remaining maturity (WARM) method for estimating credit loss reserves under Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.
