“Supervisory Committee and Internal Audit: Evaluating Your Board and Management Team” The role of the Supervisory Committee is large and getting larger. You have real liabilities and real responsibilities. Hardly a day goes by without news of a corporate scandal involving fraud, theft, negligent accounting errors and unethical business practices. And all too often we learn later how it could have been prevented if proper controls were in place. Credit unions are no exception. Supervisory committees must remain vigilant as the first line of defense against problems that can erode the trust your members have in you. One step in this process is evaluating your Board and Management Team. While the Committee has no requirement to evaluate these governing groups, it certainly makes sense that the behavior, teamwork, independence and effectiveness of these groups is observed and reported upon. This course will discuss what a review of the Board and Management team would entail and how best to report this information.
