CREDIT UNION BOARD TRAINING

Credit Union Board Training

Practical training to strengthen governance, oversight and Board effectiveness.

WDA provides dedicated Board training designed specifically for Irish Credit Unions. Our practical one-day programme helps Directors and Board Oversight Committee members strengthen their understanding of governance, risk, compliance and the key responsibilities involved in overseeing a modern Credit Union.

Credit Union Board of Directors Training Day

We have designed a detailed one day Board Training programme. It has been designed in response to the recent PRISM Expectations Report and informed by 25 years of experience in the sector.

We currently provide Statutory Audit, Internal Audit, Risk, Compliance, Data Projections, Strategic Planning and Board Training Services so we have practical hands on experience in all the key risk areas of the business
