Madison, WI (June 20, 2012) – CUNA is proud to announce that 171 credit union compliance professionals have earned or recertified their CUNA Credit Union Compliance Expert (CUCE) designation at the CUNA Regulatory Compliance Schools this past April in Orlando, Florida.

CUNA Regulatory Compliance Schools feature annual regulatory updates, general overviews and advanced sessions. The schools provide credit union professionals of all backgrounds and skill levels with a solid understanding of the major regulations affecting credit unions and their regulatory duties. In addition to attending the required sessions at CUNA Regulatory Compliance Schools, all CUNA CUCE certified professionals passed on-site exams that tested their knowledge of the overall compliance environment.

The CUNA CUCE designation was created by CUNA in an effort to help credit union compliance professionals stay up-to-date with the latest compliance regulations and ensure credit unions are operating within the current laws. Due to the ever changing compliance environment, the designation must be renewed every three years.

The CUNA CUCE designation will continue to be offered again this year. The designation can be earned by completing one of the following training options and successfully completing proctored exams for five CUNA Regulatory Training & Certification Program (RegTraC)modules.

CUNA Regulatory Compliance School September 15-21, 2012 in Anaheim, California.
CUNA Regulatory Compliance eSchool September 25 – November 27, 2012.
