Aires Download

The AIRES is a computer program developed to assist both Federal and state examiners in performing their credit union examinations. AIRES utilizes advanced computer hardware and software tools, improving the way we use our resources and producing a high-quality examination product.

  • Minimizes routine clerical and administrative duties currently performed by examiners
  • Provides electronic access to information from various sources using modern computer-assisted auditing techniques to review and evaluate credit union data
  • Improves communications with credit union officials
  • Provides a flexible examination system that can easily adapt to our dynamic industry

OK now how does it work?

When your examiners arrive you simply run the AIRES file creation program and download it to a disk. Your examiners then upload the file to their examination program and days worth of work for both you and your examiner are complete in seconds. Saving you the time of gathering and printing hundreds of reports and answering thousands of questions.
