New and evolving valuation rules are particularly important for bank supervisors

During this risky credit environment, many banks are finding they need to keep a close watch over capital levels and some even need to raise more capital. This need has caused regulators and accountants to show increasing interest in how banks price and value their assets and liabilities. In today’s depressed economy, these valuations are resulting in losses that erode capital balances. This loss of capital is made worse by increasing provisions for loan losses and aggressive examinations targeted at finding more writedowns in loan portfolios.

Despite the importance of this issue to the regulators, there is little information available about valuations. These valuation rules are new and evolving and banks need guidance and direction on how to integrate valuations with regulatory capital requirements. Banks are required to obtain current asset and liability valuations to follow new fair value regulatory guidance and accounting rules.

Balancing Adequate Capital Levels and Evolving Valuation Rules will help you establish a sound approach to valuations and capital management during these difficult economic times. The conference includes a discussion of:

• The regulatory perspective on the valuation process
• The valuation problem and how it impacts bank capital
• Current industry practices for using the valuation process as a risk management tool to monitor capital levels
• Best Practices used to preserve or increase capital levels
• And much more!
