Book

Credit unions have an important role in Irish society. Their offices are a common feature in cities, towns, and villages throughout Ireland. A credit union is a not-for-profit financial co-operative, owned and controlled by its members. Each credit union is independent, with its own board of directors, which has overall responsibility for running the organisation. A unique feature is the voluntary ethos: the governance of credit unions is largely in the hands of members who give their time voluntarily. As part of the financial services sector, credit unions in the Republic of Ireland are subject to special legislation (principally the Credit Union Act 1997, as amended) and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Good governance is the cornerstone on which all successful organisations are built. It is important that the volunteers who hold governance roles in credit unions, on the board of directors and various committees, have the knowledge and confidence to comply with relevant legislation and regulation, while striving to achieve and apply best practice. This book is primarily written for these volunteers. It sets out the legal and regulatory requirements for each key role and committee, as well as best practice and relevant guidance. Each role and committee is described in terms of the part it plays in the overall governance of the credit union, and how it interacts with other roles. Each chapter is self-contained, providing information and suggestions regarding best practice to equip volunteers to perform their roles to a high standard.

This book is aimed primarily at the many volunteers on the boards of credit unions and/or other credit union committees. Staff in credit unions, particularly those in management roles, will also find it useful, as will members of credit unions with an interest in their governance. The emphasis throughout the book is on practical application, with extensive use of checklists and templates.
