CU directors like growth. Who doesn’t? But growth isn’t easy or simple. Credit unions that reach for growth without planning for it may end up putting themselves in a difficult position – with eroding capital and visits from angry examiners. If you want to grow, you need to know what impact that growth will have on your CU’s balance sheet and capital levels. The good news is, there are key ratios CUs can use as management tools to make sure they grow safely.
In this session, Andy and David will delve into advanced financial management strategies tied to a handful of ratios that CUs can and should use to manage growth and financial health.
You’ll get:
- An analysis of the economy and the industry’s place within it
- An explanation of several key ratios CUs can use as management tools
- Further discussion on ALM, interest rate risk and liquidity risk
If you have a basic knowledge of financial management and you’d like to expand your understanding of CU finances and strategy, this is the session for you.

Think about ALM, electronic banking, data security, a rush of new regulations, stress testing and business lending. The financial services industry is getting more complicated all the time. Are traditional strategic planning methods enough to deal with all of this? No, says Rochdale’s Tony Ferris. Credit unions constantly manage a shifting universe of black holes and evolving sets of assumptions, Tony says. They need a strategic planning process that is more open, flexible and responsive to risk than traditional methodologies can offer. A revised, risk-centric approach to strategic planning can help your credit union leverage new opportunities and better mitigate risk at the same time.
