The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted this self-initiated audit to assess the Central Liquidity Facility (CLF). The objectives of our audit were to determine: (1) whether the NCUA operates the CLF in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, policies, and procedures; and (2) the utilization of the CLF by credit unions covered by the temporary authority granted by the CARES Act.

Results of our audit determined the NCUA operated the CLF in accordance with applicable laws and substantially complied with regulations and its own policies and procedures. We determined the annual stock adjustment done by the CLF was not entirely done in accordance with regulations as the CLF did not receive payments for adjustments to member capital stock subscriptions no later than March 31. However, we determined the financial impact of these payments not being received by March 31 was de minimis. We also determined the CLF was being utilized as evidenced by its growth in members. While we are making no recommendations in our report to management, we are suggesting management determine whether they want to pursue any action to extend the due date beyond March 31st for the annual stock adjustment payments to the CLF.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is commencing the Fiscal Year 2025 AbilityOne Commission Financial Statement Audit. The objective of the audit is to express an opinion on whether the Commission’s financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is issuing this report to show those recommendations from U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) reports that remained open as of December 31, 2024. As of that date, there were 166 open OIG recommendations. SBA provided updates for certain recommendations prior to the date of this report which may still be under review by OIG. The status of each recommendation is subject to change as we independently review SBA’s ongoing implementation.
