We’re pleased to present the 2026 edition of Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), which provides an overview of the accounting model for current expected credit losses (CECL) in ASC 326, including Deloitte’s insights into how to apply that guidance in practice. The FASB has continued its postimplementation review and standard setting related to ASC 326. For instance, in 2025, the Board released final standards (ASU 2025-08 and ASU 2025-05) that (1) increase the number of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach and (2) introduce a practical expedient and accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606.
Also available is the latest edition of On the Radar, a high-level summary of emerging issues and trends related to the accounting and financial reporting topics addressed in the Roadmap.
