8.01 Managing Compliance: Preparing for Audits and Examinations

Enterprise Risk Management

Summary

This class gives credit union supervisory personnel a look at the various CU*BASE tools used to prepare for audits and examinations. Often, the results of an audit or examination contact come down to how well the credit union can communicate their controls, management concepts, and the results of their activity. Putting your best foot forward is the key to a good examination and CU*BASE is often the key to being prepared.
CU*Answers has a full-time compliance officer with experience as both a credit union professional and state examiner. This class will focus not only on audit preparation but on managing the application of data-processing-related compliance issues, with CU*Answers as a partner.

Audience

This class is designed for key credit union leaders and managers.
