The following table summarizes accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that we recently adopted or will be adopting in the future.

TABLE 2.1

Standard	Description	Financial Statements Impact
Derivative and Hedging Activities
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	This Update improves the financial reporting of hedging to better align with a company’s risk management activities. In addition, this Update makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the current hedge accounting guidance.	We adopted this Update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. The presentation and disclosure guidance were applied prospectively. The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This Update was effective as of January 1, 2019.

Securities
ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities	This Update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable securities to the earliest call date. The accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount does not change.	We adopted this Update in the first quarter of 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This Update was effective as of January 1, 2019.
Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief	These Updates replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (commonly referred to as CECL) for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including loans, HTM debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining life of the financial asset at the time the asset is originated or acquired, considering historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, the Update will require the use of a modified AFS debt security impairment model and eliminate the current accounting for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities.	These Updates are to be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The CECL model is a significant change from existing GAAP and may result in a material change to our accounting for financial assets and regulatory capital. While these Updates change the measurement of the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL), it does not change the credit risk of our lending portfolios or the ultimate losses in those portfolios. We have created a cross-functional steering committee to govern implementation. For loans measured at amortized cost we have implemented a new modeling platform and integrated other auxiliary models to support a calculation of expected credit losses under CECL. We have made preliminary decisions on segmentation, a reasonable and supportable forecast period, reversion method and period and are finalizing other inputs necessary to execute parallel runs using the June 30, 2019 portfolio balances to ensure we are ready to calculate, review and report on our CECL ACL for the first quarter of 2020. The estimated ACL will represent Management’s estimate of credit losses over the full expected remaining life of the financial assets and also take into account expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. We will continue to evaluate and refine our loss estimates throughout 2019. The impact of this Update will be dependent on the portfolio composition, credit quality and forecasts of economic conditions at the time of adoption. The impact to our AFS and HTM debt securities is expected to be immaterial. Oversight and testing, as well as the development of policies, internal controls and preparation for expanded disclosures requirements will extend through the remainder of 2019. This Update will be effective as of January 1, 2020.

Leases
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors ASU 2019-01, Lease (Topic 842), Codification Improvements	These Updates require lessees to put most leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets but recognize expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income similar to current accounting. In addition, the Update changes the guidance for sales-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for most entities. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease related revenue and expense.	We adopted these Updates in the first quarter of 2019 under the modified retrospective transition method. In addition, the new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits us to not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of $116 million in right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $126 million for operating leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. These Updates were effective as of January 1, 2019.
