A professional, flexible, and respectful approach to internal audits

"Our Bank engaged BerryDunn to validate our Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model and perform consultative services. They reviewed our CECL calculation, model documentation, model governance, policies, and procedures. Their services involved a holistic review of our methodology. Their expertise surrounding the CECL standard, and the financial services industry was remarkable. Throughout the engagement, they were extremely responsive and offered great insight. They have been a huge asset to our Bank as we prepare for CECL adoption. We would love to work with them again in the future!"
