Selden Fox Credentials
to Match Your Demands
The professionals at Selden Fox
have made a conscious effort to learn about credit unions. We've
taken the time to understand your products, services, regulations
and entire industry. We support and are active in the credit
union movement. And, we continuously strive to expand our
knowledge of areas affecting credit unions.
Over the last 25 years, we've
worked with more than 50 credit unions throughout Illinois, ranging
in size from $7 million to $550 million in assets.
From an accounting standpoint,
Selden Fox's Credit Union Services Group has conducted hundreds
of credit union audits, both external and internal. We have evaluated
internal controls for numerous institutions and provided advice
on regulatory matters, accounting matters, and a myriad of other
financial matters. We have designed or evaluated credit union
accounting or procedural systems and conducted due diligence
for credit union clients considering mergers and acquisitions.
But, our work hasn't stopped
at the accounting function. Committed to facilitating the success
of each credit union as a whole, we have also provided counsel
on industry risks, management issues, and employee concerns.
We have developed and delivered specialized training programs
for credit union boards and supervisory committees and assisted
with strategic planning. We interpret regulations, support management's
efforts to bring credit unions into compliance and have even
influenced changes to regulations.
Finally, there is one critical
factor that gives Selden Fox unique - and exclusive - insight
into the credit union industry; our work as the accounting firm
of the Illinois Credit Union League and its subsidiary, ICUL
Service Corporation, the ICUL Foundation and Credit Union Political
Action Committee (CUPAC).
Selden Fox understands that the
relationship between our firm as external auditors, Credit Union
management, and your Supervisory Committee is of the utmost importance.
A proper and well functioning financial services entity exists
when these three groups form a support system for responsible
financial disclosure and active participatory oversight. We encourage
open, regular, frank, and confidential dialogue so the Supervisory
Committee and management are in a position to utilize the knowledge
of the external auditors in assessing controls, management, internal
audit needs, and the impact of each on the quality and reliability
of the financial statements and financial reporting process.
