Abstract: The FCU Act and Bylaws require new and current FCU to prepare and maintain documents, such as organization certificate, charter, notices, meeting minutes, and election results, and notify the NCUA Board of certain changes. FCU's use the information they collect and maintain pursuant to their bylaws in their operations and to provide services to members. NCUA uses the information both to regulate the safety and soundness of FCU and protect the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
