Call Report Software Now a Thing of the Past.

In September 2009, the NCUA will require that the quarterly Report of Officials and 5300 Call Report information be submitted on their new web-based system as opposed to using the quarterly software. NCUA is hosting several webcasts to provide you with information related to the switch. The first webcast will be Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 1:00 PM EDT. To register, go to http://event.on24.com/r.htm?e=153687&s=1&k=D7CCC63C961E35B7BD87B6ED7DF01A01

The NCUA has also put out a FAQ document that should answer most of your questions. Here's the link http://www.ncua.gov/DataServices/Data/5300/09July/OnlineFAQ.pdf.

If you are the person responsible for preparing the "Call Report" or 5300 data, we just want to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work. It's a Herculean effort each quarter, and chances are, no one at your credit union appreciates what you go through. Today, we salute you, Call Report Preparer. Sure, there is great danger of paper cuts. Ink on your hand? You bravely soldier right through. Lunch? Maybe after you calculate net charge-offs. You are the REAL Real (Wo)Men of Genius. We crack a can of sugar-free, decaffeinated iced tea to you, the Call Report Preparer.
