Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act require federally insured credit unions (FICUs) to make financial reports to the NCUA. Section 741.6 of the NCUA Rules and Regulations requires all FICUs to submit a Call Report (NCUA Form 5300) quarterly. Financial information collected through the Call Report is essential to NCUA supervision of federal credit unions. This information also facilitates NCUA monitoring of other credit unions with share accounts insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).

The March 2022 Call Report reorganizes schedules to increase efficiencies. There are 603 new Call Report account codes and 659 account codes were retired from the 2021 Call Report. A significant portion of the Call Report new accounts relate to changes to the NCUA's regulations part 702 implementing Risk Based Capital. Additional data collection fields were added to align the Loan, Delinquency, and Charge Off schedules, and provide additional Investment details. Other additions and deletions relate to items deemed necessary or no longer necessary to maintain proper credit union supervision. The revisions do not alter the hours necessary to complete the forms. This submission also reflects adjustment due to the decline in the number of federally insured credit unions due to industry consolidation from mergers and liquidations, which has averaged less than one percent per quarter. Specifically, the number of federally insured credit unions completing the Call Report dropped from 5,275 at June 30, 2020 to 5,097 at September 30, 2021 (178).
