"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!"

"Our work with BerryDunn tangibly increased our comfort and confidence in our CECL model and put our team in a better position to manage our model moving forward. There are times when we need to rely on competent outside professionals to provide subject matter expertise, and a wider perspective. That is what we needed with our CECL project and that is exactly what we received. I would not hesitate to reach out to Susan and BerryDunn the next time we find ourselves in need of subject matter expertise."
