Multiple Choice

Which item covers costs incurred by credit unions to fulfill requests?

This item is about identifying which category represents the expenses a credit union incurs to respond to and fulfill requests. The best fit is Compliance Costs, because it specifically denotes the expenses tied to meeting regulatory, supervisory, or customer information requests—such as staff time, systems access, and processing effort required to assemble and provide the information. The other options describe aspects of the process rather than the cost burden. Keep Open Requests refers to the status of requests that haven’t been completed yet; Law Enforcement Requests identifies who is requesting information; Information Sharing concerns the act of sharing data with others. None of these statements inherently captures the costs involved in fulfilling a request, whereas Compliance Costs does. For example, when a regulator asks for records or when a member requests account information, the resources used to gather, review, and deliver those records are compliance costs.
