§1761d — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

The supervisory committee must have an audit every year. It must give the full audit report to the board of directors and a short summary to members at the next annual meeting. It must do extra audits when needed or when the board orders them, and give those reports to the board. By unanimous vote the committee can suspend any officer or any member of the credit committee or board until the next members’ meeting. That members’ meeting must happen 7 to 14 days after the suspension, and the members will decide what to do. By majority vote the committee can call a special members’ meeting to look into violations of the law, the charter, or bylaws, or any unsafe or unauthorized practice. The board can suspend a supervisory committee member by majority vote. Members will meet 7 to 14 days later to decide if that committee member is removed or returned. The supervisory committee must check members’ passbooks and accounts against the treasurer’s records from time to time and at least once every 2 years. Passbook means any book, account statement, or other record approved by the Board for use by federal credit unions.
