§ 14553 Credit Union Audit Requirements

This law says a credit union must check its money and records every year to make sure everything is correct. They also have to tell the members what they found.

Key Takeaways

  • •The credit union must check its money and records every year.
  • •They have to tell the members what they found in a report.
  • •They can do extra checks if they think something is wrong.

Example

Imagine your school's savings club checks its money box once a year to count all the cash and make sure no one took money they shouldn't have.

The credit union does the same thing—they check their books and money, then tell everyone in the club (the members) what they found.
