The Supervisory Committee is charged with monitoring the overall operations of the credit union. It ensures the highest degree of safety and soundness and guarantees that the best interests of the membership are protected.

The Supervisory Committee employed the auditing firm of Doeren Mayhew to assist in performing its duties. A comprehensive annual certified audit was performed during June of 2024 and covered the period between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

In addition to this annual audit, a yearly examination is performed by the North Carolina Credit Union Division, the agency that regulates state-chartered credit unions in North Carolina. This examination was conducted during April 2024. The exam covered the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

Based on audits and examinations performed during the course of the year, your Supervisory Committee is satisfied that the credit union’s accounting records and reports are prepared promptly and accurately. The system of internal controls being used is sufficient and the plans, policies, and procedures established by the Board of Directors are currently being followed.
