Finding Number: 2024-002 Lack of a Formal Process to Identify and Evaluate Loan Impairment
Planned Corrective Action: To reduce the risk of misstatement and inadequate loan loss reserves, NWSOCO has worked with the lending board to develop a tool for evaluating loan impairment that considers the delinquency of the loan, the value of collateral, and the cost of sale of secured collateral. This document will be used going forward when considering action to be taken on delinquent loans. NWSOCO`s lending guidelines and policies state that the Southern Colorado Community Lending (SCCL) Board of Directors will review all delinquent loans monthly and will make the recommendation on the action that NWSoCo will take to rectify delinquent loans. Furthermore, the SCCL Board will review and create new loss projections based on the current expected credit loss (CECL) model as required under ASU 2016-13.
Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Emily Garbiso, Chief Finance Officer
Anticipated Date of Completion: 05/01/2025
