Heard of the Supervisory Committee?

During the week of January 24th, 2011, auditors from the accounting firm Macdonald Page & Company will be at the Credit Union performing an annual audit. The firm was hired by our Supervisory Committee to accomplish multiple objectives: certify the accuracy of our financial statements, conduct a verification of Member accounts, review our adherence to policies, monitor the performance of the Credit Union and evaluate other critical areas of operation.

After mentioning this, we wanted to ask a question. Do you know what the Supervisory Committee does at the Credit Union? Another question: Did you even know that it existed? We figured it may be time to remind or enlighten you about the primary role of the Supervisory Committee. The committee at the Lisbon Credit Union is very active and displays a strong desire to see the organization succeed. The group consists of five Credit Union Members who serve as volunteers without compensation. Each month, they assemble together and review loan files, closed account notices, investments, teller cash totals and other items. Basically, the Supervisory Committee is another set of eyes to help make sure the Credit Union is being managed properly and that Member assets are safe and secure. For a list of committee members, click on this link to our website: https://www.lisboncu.org/About-Us/Volunteers-and-Staff.aspx. If there are any negative issues that arise, they in turn notify the Management Team and the Board of Directors.

We are happy to report that the Lisbon Credit Union’s financial performance is excellent – thanks in part to the Supervisory Committee. We invite all Members to contact the committee if there is a need to surface an issue or to report an unresolved complaint. As always, please feel to contact the Credit Union with any questions or comments.

Building Futures. Preserving Dreams.
