ICURN Credit Union Supervision Principles
These 23 guiding principles are recommended by ICURN as a framework for assessing the effectiveness of the supervisor of credit unions where the supervisor has statutory responsibility for their safety and soundness. ICURN also hopes that these principles will provide helpful guidance for credit union supervisors in jurisdictions where their powers are based on a system of self-regulation or other non-statutory arrangement.
