RBK’s Credit Union specialists provide a range of independent review services that allow you greater confidence in your key operations.
Our independent review services include:
The loan book is the life blood of your credit union. Traditionally when loan book reviews were carried out, it was to satisfy the requirements of the Central Bank. Now, however, credit unions themselves increasingly seek independent assessment of the overall health of their loan book.
Resolution 49, the standard calculation for the loan book provision, is based on a computer generated mathematical equation which does not provide qualitative information about a member’s personal and financial circumstances. In addition, a provision based on Resolution 49 may not be enough to satisfy the requirements of current financial reporting standards including FRS 102.
Our independent loan reviews also cover credit control and lending policies to ensure your credit union is complying with regulatory requirements. Following our review, we provide your Board with a comprehensive report that can be used to assess the underlying risk of your loan book.
