Report Description

The NCUA OIG conducted this audit based on OIG’s 2023 Annual Work Plan to assess the NCUA’s revised process to charter new federal credit unions. The objectives of our audit were to determine whether: (1) the NCUA’s efforts to streamline its chartering process made it more efficient and effective for potential organizers interested in applying for a new federal credit union charter; and (2) the NCUA adequately communicated its revised chartering process to potential organizers. The scope of our audit covered the NCUA’s chartering activities from January 2019 through June 2024.
