Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Credit Union’s management, employing techniques based on policies and guidelines regulated by the Co-operative Societies Act. The Credit Union’s approach to managing capital did not change during the period. Regulatory capital requirement Under governing legislation which became effective March 31, 2008, the Credit Union is required to transfer from net surplus for the year an amount equivalent to the greater of 25% of net surplus or 0.5% of total assets until the capital to total assets ratio equals 10%.
