How SAS Supports Expected Credit Loss
A controlled, high-performance environment.
The expected credit loss accounting standards, CECL and IFRS 9, add much more complexity to the reserving process, and institutions face significant challenges. SAS provides a controlled, high-performance environment to execute the entire ECL process in a substantially reduced time frame.
Configurable workflows & centralized orchestration

- Centrally monitor status, and track progress against plans, approvals, attachments and comments for each step.
- Centralized scenario management lets you import, export, store and change scenarios.
- Includes configurable portfolio segmentation and business evolution plans.
Powerful data management with integrated governance & controls
- Preconfigured data quality rules are mapped to the BCBS239 principles.
- A controlled, centralized model library automatically documents all changes to data and facilitates model control by enabling all models to be versioned and searched.
- Promote models from development to production, and archive previous model versions.
- Allows transparent and well-controlled entry of post-model adjustments.
- Manages security for protection of project data, models, scenarios, reports and configuration.
Aggregation & reporting
- Quickly design and deploy ECL reports with easy-to-use, self-service reporting templates and out-of-the box visualizations.
- Aggregate or drill into results on the fly to understand the drivers and assess the financial impacts.
- Automate disclosures and posting into ledgers for enhanced accountability.
High-performance, adaptive architecture
