Special Events Training

Summary

Successful BSA Audits are a critical component of your credit union's operations, but to prepare for your BSA Exam/Audit can be overwhelming. You may begin with concerns about what's at stake if you don't pass your audit. You may have trepidation when you look at the final implications, including the reputation risk with your peer groups, your board, and, even worse, your members. You may have staff members or managers who are at the beginning stages of learning your policies, procedures, and best practices and are not yet familiar with the examination process.

Do not begin your exam with a deep sense of anxiety. The "Preparing for Your BSA Exam/Audits Made Easy" booklet takes all the worry out of preparing for next exam.
