Impact Of Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards [Abstract]  
Impact Of Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards 13 – IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The pronouncements discussed in this section are not intended to be an all-inclusive list, but rather only those pronouncements that could potentially have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value, including loans, debt securities and other financial assets. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by recording an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has established an internal committee to manage the implementation of the ASU. The committee is led by the Bank’s Chief Accounting Officer and includes the EVP/CEO Successor, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Controller, Manager of Accounting Controls and Chief Auditor. A broader group of Bank staff has been identified to assist in implementing the ASU, including representatives of the Bank’s loan operations, credit administration, lending, investments and technology functions. The committee has engaged a third-party software provider, developed an implementation timeline, and accumulated and reconciled all necessary historical data. An independent firm is currently conducting model validation. Decisions have been made regarding all substantive aspects of the implementation including, among others, loan pools and segmentation, methodologies, historical look-back period, forecasting and qualitative factors. The committee has begun parallel testing which is focused on model outputs, reporting, documentation and internal controls.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” and ASU 2018-14 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” These ASUs modify certain disclosure requirements pertaining to fair value measurements and defined benefit plans, respectively, as part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project, and are intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of these ASUs will modify the Corporation’s disclosures but will not impact its financial position or results of operations.
