The New York Credit Union Association’s compliance department is available to assist member credit unions with examination preparedness and other operational compliance-related issues. Beyond answering specific compliance questions from member credit unions, the Association’s compliance department can also provide enhanced and customized support to New York credit unions.

As a benefit of membership, Linda Bow, the Association’s director of compliance, is available to make visits to member credit unions and assist with a variety of compliance issues. Topics covered during the visits might include:

• exam preparedness or assistance;
• on-site training;
• policy updates and revisions;
• new product or program reviews; or
• risk assessment reviews and collaboration.

Frequently, credit unions will find they need enhanced contract-based compliance support as a result of these on-site visits. The Association’s compliance department can provide member credit unions with a range of enhanced, contract-based solutions, including:

• individualized, ongoing regulatory compliance training for staff (both remote and on-site);
• on-site visits for compliance reviews;
• policy updates and revisions (annual timing requirements for presentations to the board) and publishing changes with CU Policy Pro;
• regulatory change management;
• quarterly loan and or deposit reviews;
• new product or program reviews;
• ongoing risk assessment reviews and collaboration;
• exam assistance for findings and the implementation of processes and controls as corrective actions; and
• the review and/or development of a compliance management system.
