We determined that examiners did not adequately identify the Transaction Risks and address
the red flags that were present at Taupa, nor did they perform additional procedures related to
those risks. We believe red flags, such as excessive amounts of cash on deposit, the
discovery of an unaccounted for bag of coins, an overdrawn employee account for an
extended period, an overdrawn line of credit at the corporate credit union, and an evasive
CEO, warranted expanded examination procedures. We also believe that had examiners
expanded procedures to address these risks, and required the Board of Directors to maintain
the appropriate oversight of the records and activities of the Credit Union, the loss to the
NCUSIF could have been mitigated.
