This 4 part webinar series will be held on February 4, 11, 25, and 28 from 11:00am-1:00pm ET.

This four part webinar is designed for bankers who are new to call report preparation and also OTS bankers who recently began filing a Call Report.  The series will cover recent changes to the Call Report, basic reporting requirements, schedules that can be prepared using the general ledger and investment reports, loan schedules, maturity and repricing, and risk based capital.  There will be exercises designed to reinforce the classification of balance sheet and income statement items, as well as classification requirements for loans.

The first webinar will review any proposed changes to the 2013 Call Report.  General reporting requirements will also be reviewed, including consolidation rules, filing deadlines, procedures, and call report resources.  Finally, the income statement schedules, RI and RI-E, which can be prepared using the general ledger, will be covered.  At the end of the session an exercise on the income statement classifications will be provided.

The second webinar will cover the reporting requirements for the balance sheet schedules that can be prepared using the bank's general ledger and investment reports, including  RC, RC-B, RC-E, RC-F, RC-G, RC-K, parts of RC-M, and RC-O.  An exercise on the balance sheet and income statement schedules will be provided.

The third webinar will cover the loan classification requirements of RC-C, reporting of charge-offs and recoveries, past due loans, insider loans, and off balance sheet items.  An exercise on loan coding will be provided.

The final webinar will cover interest rate risk reporting, risk based capital, and the remaining call report schedules, RC-Q, RC-S, RC-T, RC-U, and RC-V.  There are proposed regulatory changes to the Risk Based Capital rules that, if approved, would likely affect the Call Report in 2015.  A summary of the changes will be provided.

This series is designed for bankers who have a year or less experience in call report preparation experience as well as OTS bankers who recently converted to the call report.
