Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act require federally insured credit unions to make financial reports to the NCUA. Section 741.6 prescribes the method in which federally insured credit unions must submit this information to NCUA. NCUA Form 5300, Call Report, is used to file quarterly financial and statistical data and NCUA Form 4501A, Credit Union Profile, is used to obtain non-financial data relevant to regulation and supervision such as the names of senior management and volunteer officials, and are reported through NCUAâs online portal, Credit Unions Online.
The financial and statistical information is essential to NCUA in carrying out its responsibility for supervising federal credit unions. The information also enables NCUA to monitor all federally insured credit unions whose share accounts are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

The majority of the call report additions are due to the Financial Accounting Standards Board issuance of accounting standards codifications (ASC). A number of data elements were removed because they were deemed no longer necessary to maintain proper credit union supervision. The revision will not alter the estimated burden hours necessary to complete the forms. The amount of data elements removed compared to those being added have negated the difference in burden. This submission reflects adjustment due to the decline in the number of federally insured credit unions due to industry consolidation from mergers and liquidations. Specifically, the number of federally insured credit unions completing the Call Report and Profile dropped from 5,954 to 5,530 (424).
