This course is designed for bankers new to Call Report preparation, as well as those seeking a refresher course. This webinar series will primarily follow the structure of the Call Report, progressing through the schedules in order. However, to enhance the learning experience and better convey related reporting content, certain schedules will be grouped together within the curriculum. This approach ensures that attendees can grasp both the individual schedules and their interconnections, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the reporting process.

Call Report preparation is a multifaceted task that demands a deep understanding of bank accounting, regulatory requirements, and various banking operations. Regulatory authorities highly recommend annual training to stay abreast of evolving standards. It's advisable for banks to designate individuals who are trained as both preparers and reviewers for this critical task.
