875-1 Sec. 34. Duties of supervisory committee.
876-2 (1) The supervisory committee shall make or cause to be
877-3 made an annual internal audit of the books and affairs of the
878-4 credit union to determine that the credit union's accounting
879-5 records and reports are prepared promptly and accurately
880-6 reflect operations and results, that internal controls are
881-7 established and effectively maintained to safeguard the assets
882-8 of the credit union, and that the policies, procedures and
883-9 practices established by the board of directors and management
884-10 of the credit union are being properly administered. The
885-11 supervisory committee shall submit a report of that audit to
886-12 the board of directors and a summary of that report to the
887-13 members at the next annual meeting of the credit union. It
888-14 shall make or cause to be made such supplementary audits as it
889-15 deems necessary or as are required by the Secretary or by the
890-16 board of directors, and submit reports of these supplementary
891-17 audits to the Secretary or board of directors as applicable.
892-18 If the supervisory committee has not engaged a licensed
893-19 certified public accountant or licensed certified public
894-20 accounting firm to make the internal audit, the supervisory
895-21 committee or other officials of the credit union shall not
896-22 indicate or in any manner imply that such audit has been
897-23 performed by a licensed certified public accountant or
898-24 licensed certified public accounting firm or that the audit
899-25 represents the independent opinion of a licensed certified
900-26 public accountant or licensed certified public accounting

931+13 loss accounting procedures in 38 Ill. Adm. Code 190.70. Any
932+14 such credit union shall also have the option of engaging a
933+15 licensed certified public accountant or licensed certified

935+17 in accordance with this regulatory basis of accounting rather
936+18 than the standards in paragraph (A) of subsection (3).

965+11 (1) Any two or more credit unions, regardless of whether
966+12 or not they have the same common bond, may merge or consolidate
967+13 into a single credit union. A merger or consolidation may be
968+14 with a credit union organized under the laws of this State or

970+16 approval of the Secretary. It must be made on such terms as

949-3 Accountants; (ii) an external independent audit of the credit
950-4 union's financial statements pursuant to the standards set
951-5 forth in paragraph (A) of subsection (3); or (iii) an external
952-6 independent audit of the credit union's financial statements
953-7 in accordance with subsection (5).
954-8 (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6,
955-9 each credit union organized under this Act shall select the
956-10 annual period it desires to use for purposes of performing the
957-11 external independent audit, agreed-upon procedures engagement,
958-12 or internal audit described in this Section. The annual period
959-13 may end on the final day of any month and shall be construed to
960-14 mean once every calendar year and not once every 12-month
961-15 period. Irrespective of the annual period selected, the credit
962-16 union shall complete its external independent audit report,
963-17 agreed-upon procedures report, or internal audit report and
964-18 deliver a copy to the Secretary no later than 120 days after
965-19 the effective date of the audit or engagement, which shall
966-20 mean the last day of the selected annual period. A credit union
967-21 or group of credit unions may obtain an extension of the due
968-22 date upon application to and receipt of written approval from
969-23 the Secretary.

991+2 least 45 but no more than 90 days before the date of the
992+3 meeting, except as specified in this Act.
993+4 (1.5) If the Secretary determines the merging credit union
994+5 is not yet in danger of insolvency but supervisory concerns
995+6 exist as described in this paragraph (1.5), and upon agreement
996+7 of the boards of directors of the merging and continuing
997+8 credit unions as confirmed by a majority vote of the directors
998+9 present at a meeting of each board at which a quorum is
999+10 present, the Secretary may permit the merger to become
1000+11 effective without (i) an affirmative vote of the membership of
1001+12 the merging credit union otherwise required by paragraph (1)
1002+13 of Section 63, (ii) adherence to the merging credit union
1003+14 membership meeting notice requirement set forth in subsection
1004+15 (1) of Section 63, or (iii) both. For the avoidance of doubt,
1005+16 if supervisory concerns exist, the Secretary and both credit
1006+17 unions may agree to conduct the merging credit union
1007+18 membership meeting, but on a timeline shorter than that
1008+19 prescribed in subsection (1) of Section 63. Supervisory
1009+20 concerns supporting such a waiver or adjustment of the merging
1010+21 credit union membership notice and voting process include
1011+22 without limitation, abandonment of management or officials, or
1012+23 both, of the merging credit union and the inability to find
1013+24 suitable replacements; material loss of sponsor support;
1014+25 serious and persistent recordkeeping problems or deficiencies;

991-9 (4) In determining the appropriate balance in the
992-10 allowance for loan losses account, a credit union may
993-11 determine its historical loss rate using a defined period of
994-12 time of less than 5 years, provided that:
995-13 (A) the methodology used to determine the defined
996-14 period of time is formally documented in the credit
997-15 union's policies and procedures and is appropriate to the
998-16 credit union's size, business strategy, and loan portfolio
999-17 characteristics and the economic environment of the areas
1000-18 and employers served by the credit union;
1001-19 (B) supporting documentation is maintained for the

1003-21 including the period of time used to accumulate historical
1004-22 loss data and the factors considered in establishing the
1005-23 time frames; and

1028+3 will take it under 2% net worth within 18 months.
1029+4 (2) One of the merging credit unions may continue after
1030+5 the merger or consolidation either as a surviving credit union
1031+6 retaining its identity or as a new credit union as has been
1032+7 agreed upon under the terms of the merger. At least 9 members
1033+8 of the new proposed credit union must apply to the Department
1034+9 for permission to organize the new credit union. The same
1035+10 procedure shall be followed as provided for the organization
1036+11 of a new credit union.
1037+12 (3) After approval by the members of the credit union
1038+13 which is to be absorbed by the merger or consolidation, the
1039+14 chairman or president and the secretary of each credit union

1095-6 electronic record as authorized by Section 10.2 of this Act at
1096-7 least 45 but no more than 90 days before the date of the
1097-8 meeting, except as specified in this Act.
1098-9 (1.5) If the Secretary determines the merging credit union
1099-10 is not yet in danger of insolvency but supervisory concerns
1100-11 exist as described in this paragraph (1.5), and upon agreement
1101-12 of the boards of directors of the merging and continuing
1102-13 credit unions as confirmed by a majority vote of the directors
1103-14 present at a meeting of each board at which a quorum is
1104-15 present, the Secretary may permit the merger to become
1105-16 effective without (i) an affirmative vote of the membership of
1106-17 the merging credit union otherwise required by paragraph (1)
1107-18 of Section 63, (ii) adherence to the merging credit union
1108-19 membership meeting notice requirement set forth in subsection
1109-20 (1) of Section 63, or (iii) both. For the avoidance of doubt,
1110-21 if supervisory concerns exist, the Secretary and both credit
1111-22 unions may agree to conduct the merging credit union
1112-23 membership meeting, but on a timeline shorter than that
1113-24 prescribed in subsection (1) of Section 63. Supervisory
1114-25 concerns supporting such a waiver or adjustment of the merging
1115-26 credit union membership notice and voting process include,

1140-15 procedure shall be followed as provided for the organization
1141-16 of a new credit union.
