CUNA very concerned NCUA is bolstering budget, not reducing expenditures

WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 20, 2014) — Jim Nussle, President and CEO of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) released the following statement after the National Credit Union Administration Board approved the agency’s 2015 budget 2-1:

“The Credit Union National Association remains very concerned that the National Credit Union Administration Board has increased its budget yet again. Rather than reducing expenditures, the Agency has continued to bolster its budget for eight straight years. Based on my own experience in building budgets, I know that monitoring and modernizing resources to maximize funds – which credit unions have been doing – are among the most effective methods for containing costs. NCUA is not following a similar path and that’s a concern for me and credit unions. CUNA will continue pressing the agency to be more efficient with credit unions’ funds.”
