  CUSO - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CUSO, founded 6 June 1961 as Canadian University Students Overseas, is a Canadian non-profit organization that aids in the development of third-world countries.
CUSO was founded as a university-based organization recruiting recently graduated students for volunteer service around the world.
With CUSO's steadily decreasing emphasis on volunteerism -- it has for long been semi-facetiously described as politically correcting itself out of existence -- other organizations such as Voluntary Service Overseas have commensurately involved itself in recruiting volunteers in Canada and eleswhere.

 CUSO
CUSO (formerly Canadian University Services Overseas), is a nongovernment international development organization best known for placing skilled Canadians in 2-year postings to provide technical assistance in emerging nations.
Instead, CUSO is filling requests for tradespeople, agriculturalists, foresters, fisheries workers, and those skilled in small business, co-operatives and community development as well as the more traditional fields of health and education.
CUSO also administers overseas projects for other international development organizations and has been active in helping to establish local nongovernment organizations - NGOs - in developing countries which can eventually manage their own affairs without external assistance.

 This page is intended to give a bit more information cooperants
CUSO attempts or continues to ensure that placements are integrated, meaning that they advance both the objectives of the CUSO regional programme in which it is made, and the partner group with whom it is made and, further, that they are connected as early as possible to the Canada programme.
While CUSO makes every effort to ensure that the content of the placement description is as accurate as possible, candidates and cooperant should be aware that some changes may occur between the time the placement is posted and the time of the cooperant’s arrival.
CUSO therefore requires a written agreement to signed between CUSO, the partner organisation(s) and the cooperant, naming the shared placement objectives, respective responsibilities and local terms and conditions.

 CUSO Marketing Services Under 12 C.F.R. §712.5(b)(8) -- 98-0524a
The agreement provides that the CUSO will maintain a real estate broker's license by having the individual who is the licensed broker for the brokerage company also serve as an officer of the CUSO.
The proposed CUSO regulation specifically called for comment on the removal of real estate brokerage services as a permissible CUSO activity because the "NCUA has been troubled by cases involving conflicts and the appearance of conflicts between real estate brokerage CUSOs and the credit unions such CUSOs serve." 62 Fed.Reg.
The CUSO regulation provides that investments in CUSOs in existence prior to April 1, 1998, must conform with the regulation by April 1, 2001 "unless the Board grants prior approval to continue such investment for a stated period." 12 C.F.R. §712.9(a).

 Credit Union Service Organization ("CUSO") Issues
The preamble to the CUSO regulation explains that CUSOs are authorized to engage in loan processing, servicing, and sales activities to enable them to "provide a full range of support services for mortgage loans and for other loans originated by the credit union." 51 Fed.Reg.
If, however, the CUSO is strictly using an automated credit scoring system approved by the FCU, we have determined that a third party may use such a system to qualify credit union loans.
If a large part of a CUSO's activities are intentionally directed at parties other than credit unions or their members, such activities would be outside the scope of permissible CUSO services or activities.

Even a CUSO that is wholly owned by one credit union must determine whether the CUSO is named on the credit union's policies or if the CUSO needs its own insurance.
Business liability coverage enables the CUSO to cover its negligence for the loss of the building to the building owner, the property damage to the other tenants' contents, damage to any adjacent structures, and bodily injury to any third party hurt in the fire.

 CUNA News Now: NCUA proposes rule affecting CUSO financial audits
NCUA's current rule states that prior to investing in or lending to a CUSO, a federal credit union must obtain a written commitment from the CUSO that the CUSO will secure an annual opinion audit of its financial statements from a CPA in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Although NCUA does not directly regulate CUSOs, it has full access to CUSO financial information due to its oversight of the parent federal credit union.
While GAAP would also allow a credit union that is the majority owner of a CUSO to procure a consolidated audit, NCUA is limiting the proposed amendment to wholly owned CUSOs.

 The CUSO Evolution ContinuesÂ…
Not content to "hurry up and wait" while the Securities and Exchange Commission delays releasing final guidelines for investment CUSOs, some CUSO officials are looking beyond that and facing up to other strategic issues that remain unresolved.
Using an IT CUSO for a credit union's data processing solution is a good fit because the CUSO "aligns with the CU's needs, understands the marketplace, the members and the philosophy," said Karnes.
And Karnes asserts that there is a strategic advantage to using the cooperative structure of CUs and CUSOs to target and meet CU DP goals: it can mean being first to market with the latest technological capability, and that can bring improved member service.
