A note about this compliance training—This year, the Utah Credit Union Association has separated the compliance school into seven separate days of training, each in a different month of the year. After all, one day of training is much easier to endure than three in a row. Plus, with seven days of training the material is more comprehensive. Also note that our compliance school will count as continuing education for CUCE re-certification.
In April, our training will cover General Operations including:
Section 2: General Operations Regulations
During this session of Compliance School we will cover laws and regulations that govern credit union operations.
