SUPERVISOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

As a Supervisory Committee member, you hold one of the highest positions in your Credit Union. Your role is to protect the safety and soundness of your Credit Union by supervising its financial operations and ensuring that all laws, regulations, policies and procedures are strictly adhered to.

Sometimes, however, the role of Credit Union Supervisor is a far from easy one. Lack of access to books and documents, problems carrying out our legal funtions and insufficient technical training are just some of the day-to-day difficulties we face. To help address these problems and provide a vital support service for Credit Union Supervisor's in both the North and South of Ireland, the National Supervisor's Forum (or NSF) was formed in March of 2002.

One year later in March 2003, we were granted official recognition by Dr. L. O'Reilly of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority.

Supervisor's should not hesitate to contact the NSF on any matter relating to their duties. We hope you find this website helpful as we continue to add useful resources and updated information.

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Worrell

Chairperson
National Supervisor's Forum
