Understanding NCUA's Letter on Concentration Risk in Credit Unions

In this episode of Samantha Shares, we review the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)'s Letter to Credit Unions on Concentration Risk. The letter carries a detailed overview of what concentration risk implies and its significance in the management of credit unions. It offers a description of management's fiduciary responsibilities including identifying, managing, monitoring, and controlling concentration risk. The letter further discusses how poorly managed concentration risks in real estate loans have led to significant losses and elevated credit union failures. The episode explores various forms and sources of concentration risks that credit unions should pay attention to, strategies for identifying and measuring those risks, and how to develop a risk management policy. To this end, management is expected to ensure accurate reporting on concentration risks and must be prepared to undertake corrective action when risk limits are breached. The episode ends with an outline of possible steps needed to mitigate identified elevated concentration risks. The episode is sponsored by Credit Union Exam Solutions Incorporated.
