How to Maximize Audit Efficiency with Minimal Resources
If your organization is struggling to keep up with increasing audit demands, it’s likely not due to a single issue. Rather, multiple issues combine to affect efficiency and threaten negative (or even detrimental) consequences.
Unfortunately, credit unions and their auditing teams don’t have the resources to fix every existing problem at one time. It’s key to prioritize changes that have the potential to yield the biggest impact.
Here, the problem lies in identifying the areas with the most potential to improve efficiency with the resources available.
Exponential credit union growth brings a wave of new problems—primarily, audit departments aren’t growing at a proportionate rate to the increase in new responsibilities. There isn’t enough time or staff to meet compliance demands, and credit unions collectively face bigger problems as a result.
Helping credit union audit programs succeed is our mission at Redboard. We’ve developed checklists, worksheets, and more to help auditors increase their bandwidth.
Now, Redboard has teamed up with The Audit Library to save credit union auditors’ time and make their lives easier.

Credit union internal audit programs accomplish a lot with relatively few resources. At Redboard, we want to ensure your audit team has a clear path to success.
For most credit unions, repeat findings are an unfortunate but occasional occurrence. Sometimes, the corrective action you took on non-conforming findings didn’t stick. And sometimes, findings take longer to address, or an item gets missed on a spreadsheet, or an email gets buried in an inbox…
As a credit union auditor, you (and your team) are experienced and dedicated experts. But you rely on other business areas to assist, support, and complete audit tasks.
Each year, the NCUA sends out their list of supervisory priorities for the year. Credit unions preparing for their exams can reference the letter to focus on specific areas.
Making a decision to try something new in your work life can be scary. You’re always looking to make improvements and do things better, but at the same time you don’t want to make a mistake. This goes double for anything audit or compliance related.
