What CU Audit & Compliance Group does

CU Audit & Compliance Group (CUAG) is a privately-held B2B professional services firm that provides audit, compliance, and management consulting services exclusively to credit unions, with no disclosed parent company, outside investors, or institutional backing. The firm operates a three-tier service architecture covering Audit Solutions (Supervisory Committee Audits, Member Account Verification, Interim/Internal Audits, Cash Counts, ACH Audits, BSA Security Reviews, SAFE Act Audits, Website Compliance Reviews, OFAC Assessments, ALM Reviews, Fair Lending Reviews, TRID Reviews, Fraud Audits, and Change of Management Reviews), Compliance Solutions (full regulatory program development), and Management Consulting Solutions (fraud investigations, Supervisory Committee training, reconciliation, and tax preparation). Its Supervisory Committee Audit product is positioned to meet NCUA section 715.7 requirements and is marketed at approximately 50% of the cost of a full Opinion Audit for credit unions under $500 million in assets, making the firm a focused alternative for small-to-mid-sized institutions.

The firm serves as the official audit partner for the Credit Union Leagues of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia, with regional offices in Birmingham, AL (headquarters), Tallahassee, FL, and Duluth, GA, plus P.O. Box locations in Kentucky and Michigan. It employs a team of certified professionals including CPAs, Certified Fraud Examiners, Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Specialists, and a Certified Credit Union Cooperator. The audit team maintains direct relationships with federal and state regulators, which the firm positions as a credibility and timeliness advantage when delivering insight to supervisory committees.

CUAG generates revenue through professional services fees under multi-year engagement contracts, with quote-based pricing that varies by service type and credit union asset size. Distribution is primarily direct sales to credit union supervisory committees and management, with top-of-funnel referral flow generated through its Credit Union League partnerships. The firm reports year-to-date revenue nearing $1M as of Q4 2025, with 40 new clients added and expansion into four new states during the year.
