Unlike other auditing conferences that are put on by CEO/executive groups or firms selling their own services, NACUSAC is the only independent organization that is dedicated exclusively to educating supervisory and auditing committees. NACUSAC programs are laser-focused on the needs of the committee while providing the widest range of perspectives in the industry. How NACUSAC Can Help with Your Committee's Biggest Challenges Credit unions are looking at every dollar spent on education, training and memberships. Often volunteer training is the first item to be cut from the budget. Unfortunately, the biggest fraud losses and the greatest exposure to risk can happen to a credit union whose supervisory committee has either been kept in the dark or their role has been marginalized by the board or management. One of the metrics now being studied as a predictor of a financial institution’s success is peer training opportunities. Findings indicate that participation in quality education directly correlates to a high level of success at credit unions. NACUSAC has identified some of the biggest challenges today’s supervisory and audit committees are facing and how it can help: Webinar Spotlight: Fair Lending Expectations & Compliance NACUSAC recently held a free webinar for members on fair lending practices and compliance. If you missed the webinar led by Crowe Horwath’s Niall Twomey, there are some important considerations for any credit union involved in mortgage, consumer and/or indirect lending. Regardless of the types of lending your credit union offers, expectations have increased in regard to data analysis, monitoring activity and reviewing third-party compliance. Recently, fair lending practices have come under greater scrutiny for smaller financial institutions making many credit unions a target for regulators. Here are some of the general risk areas that Twomey identified: If your credit union may be exposed to any of these risks, consider purchasing a CD of the webinar recording which includes more in-depth details about this important topic. CDs cost $39 for NACUSAC members. To order, call (800) 287-5949 or email lauren@nacusac.org. Welcome to NACUSAC!
