Our Supervisory Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors, to provide the membership with an independent appraisal of the safety and soundness of Meridian Trust Federal Credit Union, and ensure that management adheres to established policies and conducts business in the members’ best interest. The Committee does so in compliance with the Federal Credit Union Act, the rules and regulations of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and Meridian Trust’s bylaws.

The Supervisory Committee audits the credit union’s records and works closely with Certified Public Accountants to conduct an annual audit of the credit union, to detect errors, and guard against fraud.
