INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONT'D)
To: Members of
St. Vincent and the Grenadines Teachers Co-operative Credit Union Limited
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (cont'd)
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Credit Union's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Credit Union to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

C erta in new , revised and am ended standa rds a nd interpreta tions a re ef fective for a nnual periods
beginning on or after Ja nuary 1 , 20 20 . Unless otherw ise state d, the follow ing standards,
interpreta tions and a m endments to interpreta tions a nd standards becam e ef fective and were
a dopted in the current yea r:
• Definition of a Business (Am endm ents to IF RS 3). The a mendm ents in Definition of a Business
(Am endm ents to IFRS 3 ) are cha nges to Appendix A Defined terms, the application guida nce,
and the i llustrative exam ples of IFRS 3 only. They:
? clarify that to be considered a business, an a cquired s et o f activiti es a nd assets m ust
inc lude, at a m ini mum , a n i nput a nd a substanti ve process that together significa ntly
contribute to the a bility to create outputs;
? narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services
provi ded to custom ers a nd by rem oving the referenc e to a n a bility to reduce costs;
? add gu idance a nd i llustra tive exa mples to help entities assess whether a substa ntive
process has been acquired;
? rem ove the assessment of whether m arket partici pants are ca pa ble of repla cing a ny
mi ssing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs; and
? add an optional concentration test that permits a sim plified a ssessm ent of w hether an
acquired set of a ctivities and assets is not a business.
The am endm ent has no significa nt im pact in the Credit Union’s fina ncia l statements.
• Definition of M aterial (Amendm ents to IAS 1 and IAS 8) . The am endm ents in Definition of
Materi al (Am endm ents to IAS 1 and IAS 8) cla rify the definition of ‘m a teria l’ and alig n the
definition used in the Conceptua l F ra mework a nd the standa rds.
The am endm ent has no significa nt im pact in the Credit Union’s fina ncia l statements.
• Interest Ra te Benchm ark Reform (Amendm ents to IF RS 9 , IAS 39 and IFR S 7). T he
am endmen ts in Interest R ate Benchma rk Ref orm (A mendm ents to IF RS 9 , IAS 3 9 and IF RS 7 )
clarify tha t entities would continue to a pply certain hedge accou nting requirements assum ing
that the interest rate benchm ark on w hich the hedged cash f lows and cash flow s from the
hedging instrument a re based w ill not be a ltered as a result of interest ra te benchm ark
re for m.
The am endm ent has no significa nt im pact in the Credit Union’s fina ncia l statements.
• Classifica ti on of Lia bilities a s C urrent or Non-Current (Am endments to IAS 1 ). T he
am endmen ts aim to prom ote consistency in a pplying the requi rements by helping com panies
determine whether, in the statem ent of financia l position, debt a nd other liab ilities with an
uncerta in settlement date should be classified as current (due or potenti ally due to be
settled w ithin one year) or non-current.
• Property, Pla nt and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use (Am endments to I AS 16 ). T he
am endmen ts prohibit deducting from the cost of a n item of property, plant a nd equi pm ent
any procee ds from selling items pro duced while bringing tha t a sset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be ca pable of operating in the ma nner i ntended by
ma na gem ent. Instead, a n entity recog nises the proceeds from sel ling such items, and the
cost of produci ng those item s, in profit or loss.
The am endm ent has no significa nt im pact in the Credit Union’s fina ncia l statements.

4. New standards, in terpretations and amend ments that became effe ctive du rin g the year
(c ont’d ):
• Annua l Improvem ents to IFRS Sta ndar ds 2018 –202 0. Makes amendments to the following
st an d ard s :
? IFRS 1 – The am endment permits a subsidiary tha t applies pa ragraph D16 (a) of IFR S 1 to
measure cumula ti ve translati on differences using the amounts reported by its parent,
based on the pa rent’s da te of transition to IF RSs.
? IFRS 9 – The a mendm ent clarifies which fees an entity includes when it a pplies the ‘10
per cent’ test in paragraph B3 .3.6 of IFRS 9 in assessing whether to derecognise a
financial liability. An entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the
borrower) and the lender, includi ng fees paid or received by either the entity or the
lender on the other’s behalf.
? IFRS 1 6 – The am endm ent to Illustrative Exa mple 13 accompa nying IFRS 16 removes f rom
the exam ple the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the
lessor i n order to resolve a ny potentia l conf usion rega rding the trea tment of lea se
incentives tha t m ight arise because of how lease incentives are i llustrated in that
ex ample.
IAS 4 1 – The a mendment removes the requirem ent i n paragra ph 22 of IAS 41 for entities to
exclude ta xation cash flow s when measuring the fai r value of a biologica l a sset using a
present value technique.
5. New standards, in terpretations, and amendments not yet effective
C ertain new, revised and amended standards and i nterpretati ons are effective for annua l periods
beginning after Janua ry 1 , 2020 and earlier a pplicati on is perm itted; however, the Credit U nion
has not early a dopted the new standards, interpretations, and a mendm ents in prepari ng these
f inancial statements. The Credit Union ha s assessed the relevanc e of all such new standa rds,
interpretations, a nd a mendments with respect to the Credit Union’s opera tions and has
determined that the following a re likely to have an effect on the fina ncial statements:
• Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 a nd IFRS Practice Statement 2)
• Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8 )
The Credit Uni on is currently assessing the impact of these new accounti ng standards and
a mendments.
6. Summary of significant ac counting policies
a. Cash and c ash e quivalents
Ca sh equivalents include highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and
original maturities of ninety (90 ) days or less a t the da te of purchase. Investments with
maturities between ninety (9 0) days and one year a t the date of purchase are considered
to be short-term investm ent securities. Short-term i nvestment securities consist primarily
of investment grade commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, a nd certificates of
deposit.

The Bank does not ha ve any a ssets held for trading nor does it volunta ri ly classify

iii) Fair value through othe r comprehen sive income
The Bank has a number of strategic investm ents in listed and unlisted entities
which are not accounted for as subsidia ries, associates or jointly controlled
entities. F or those investments, the Bank has made a n irrevocable election to
cla ssify the investments at fair value through other com prehensive incom e rather
tha n through profit or loss as the Bank considers this m ea surem ent to be the
m ost representa tiv e of the business m odel for these assets. T hey a re ca rried a t

and accumula ted in the equity section. Upon disposal a ny balance within
accumula ted other com prehensive incom e reserve is reclassified directly to
retained earnings and is not reclassifi ed to profit or loss.
Dividends are recognised i n prof it or loss, unless the dividend clearly represents a
recovery of part of the cost of the investm ent, in which case the full or partia l
am ount of the divi dend is recorded a ga inst the as sociated investments carrying
am ount.
The Bank ha s debt securities whose objective is achieved by both holding these
securities in order to collect contractual cash flows and having the intention to
sell the debt securi ties before m aturity. T he contractua l terms of the debt
securities give rise to cash flows tha t are solely paym ents of principa l a nd
interest on the principal amount outsta nding. Upon disposal any balance within
fa ir va lue through other comprehensive income reserve is reclassified directly t o
profit or loss.
Purcha ses and sales of financi al assets measured a t fa ir value through other
comprehensive incom e a re recognised on settlement date with any change in fa ir
val ue between tra de date and settlement date being recognised in the
accumula ted other comprehensive incom e reserv e.

(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the exposure that the Credit Union may encounter difficulty in
meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Liquidity risk also arises
when excess funds accumulate resulting in the loss of opportunity to increase
investment returns.
The contractual maturities of assets and liabilities, and the ability of the Credit Union
to meet payment obligations associated with financial liabilities when they fall due
and to replace funds when they are withdrawn, are important factors in assessing
the liquidity of the Credit Union.
Projections and examination of the Credit Union’s asset and liability maturity
structure to facilitate the matching of asset and liability maturity dates as far as
possible and providing for any shortfall or excess cash situations is a fundamental
part of the Credit Union’s liquidity risk management.

The Credit Union holds a diverse portfolio of cash and investments to support payment
obligation. Assets held for managing li quidity comprises cash and balances with banks,
certificates of deposit and government bonds that are readily acceptable. The Credit
Union would also be able to meet unexpected cash flows by selling investment securities
and accessing additional funding.

34. Financial instruments and financial risk management (cont’d)
(c) Market risk
The Credit Union’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and those activities
involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance, and management of some degree of risk or
combination of risks. Taking risk is core to the financial business, and the operational
risks are an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Credit Union’s aim is
therefore to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimize
potential adverse effects on the Credit Union’s performance. The most important
types of risk are credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Material risk includes
currency risk and interest rate risk.
(d) Currency risk
The Credit Union operations are conducted in Eastern Caribbean currency. The Credit
Union takes on exposure to effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency
exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Management believes that
exposure to currency risk is minimal since transactions in foreign currencies are primarily
in United States Dollars (US$) which has been formally pegged at EC$2.70 since July 1976.

The Credit Union is exposed to interest rate risk, which arises when a change in market interest rate affects the current or
future yields of financial assets and financial liabilities. The occurrence of an increase in interest rates on financial lia bilities
may result in financial loss to the Credit Union.
Interest on loans and advances to members and deposits from members is fixed to maturity.

36 Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel corona virus
(“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving
and resulted in many countries instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel and limiting
hours of operations for non-essential offices. Such actions have resulted in disruption in global
supply chains and is adversely impacting a number of industries in which the Credit Union’
stakeholders operate. This situation has presented material uncertainty and risk if the g lobal
response to contain COVID-19 escalates. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Credit Union’s
operational and financial performance wi ll depend on future developments, including the
duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict
considering the rapidly evolving landscape. Nevertheless, the Credit Union could experience
adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which
may be due to negative impacts to occupancy of its p roperties, customers, and investees inability
to fulfill their financial commitments, decrease in values of its investment portfolio, changes in
law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. The Credit
Union is currently unable to reasonably estimate the overall impact of COVID-19 on its business
and financial results.

La Soufrière volcano
The La Soufrière volcano began an effusive eruption on December 27, 2020. On April 9, 2021,
after the Credit Union’s financial reporting date, it started to have continuous explosive
eruptions. Due to the eruptions, services such as electricity and water were severely affected.
Emitted ash and sulfur dioxide gas has also affected businesses and the entire population of St.
Vincent in general. Volcanic ashfall has led to temporary shutdown of business operations, and
has caused physical damage to buildings, equipment, co mputers, machinery, vehicles,
inventory, and supplies. Explosive eruptions over a period of weeks to months can result in
repeated ashfalls that require costly cleanup operations after each event. The Credit Union is
currently unable to reasonably estimate the overall impact of the volcano eruption on its
business and financial results.
Dividends
After reporting date, a total dividend payout of $275,000 was proposed by the Board of Directors,
inclusive of 1% rebate of $77,622. The dividends and rebates have not been recognized as liabilities

During the period 2020, the Credit Union encountered several challenges that impacted the smooth functioning of
its credit administration process. The main challenge was the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic; which resulted
in an increase in delinquency and a shortfall in the expected income from loan products. Moreover, the Credit
Union engaged in the issuing of Moratoria as a response to our social responsibility due to our members. This
resulted in the Credit Union being unable to achieve its projected income. However, for the Credit Union to
remain a going concern, the continued granting of moratoria is not sustainable, and efforts must be made to assist
our members in ways that provide a “win-win” situation for all parties.
Notwithstanding, the Credit Committee was able to convene at least two (2) meetings per month. Periodic site
visits were made to verify information submitted on properties held or offered as collateral for loans.
The Credit Committee collaborated with the Recoveries Unit in collecting data to prepare monthly reports which
were submitted to the Board. These reports were reviewed primarily to determine the value, age, number and
percentage of delinquent loans and to ascertain the effectiveness of the strategies that were implemented to
recover these problem loans.
In accordance with recommendations from the Financial Services Authority, the Credit Committee reviewed the
existing Loans Policy, in order to promote efficiency of loans services prudent.
Analysis of Loan Activities

Delinquency
As at the end of the financial period, the rate of delinquency stood at 7%, compared with 5% in 2019. The
principal loan value for 2020 on delinquent accounts amounted to $6, 224,685.40, with the number of loans being
228. When compared to 2019, the principal value amounted to $4, 494,603.75 while the number of loans was
127. The areas of increased delinquency were: Education, Business and Debt Consolidation. These three (3)
categories represented approximately 35% (16%, 9% & 10% respectively) of the delinquent loans portfolio.
One hundred and twenty eight (128) accounts were with the Bailiff as at the reporting date; with the view of
recovering outstanding amounts. Seventy one (71) of these were transferred in 2020. Eleven (11) mortgaged
properties were placed on the real estate market of which three (3) were sold. Seven (7) vehicles were
repossessed and sold within a turnaround time of less than six (6) weeks.
The Tourism and Hospitality sectors were largely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby scores of
Sailors, Oil Rig employees, Hotel Workers and Taxi Operators would have lost their jobs. Many persons in these
categories had large Mortgages. In other cases many companies downsized, some were forced out of operations,
while some workers had to accept a reduced income from their employers; thereby increasing the delinquency
level.
Every effort was made to assist our members who were unable to honour their monthly loan commitments
because of factors relating to loss of or reduced income. As a result moratoria were granted to these members.
While the granting of loans is the main income generating activity, it exposes the Credit Union to various risks.
Poor asset quality can have adverse effects on the financial health of the institution due to under performance and
large loan loss provisioning. Hence, it is vital that we make every effort to ensure that we keep our rate of
delinquency within the acceptable standard. Again, we take this opportunity to remind our members that having
good credit credentials is essential.
The Credit Committee is committed to working with the Recoveries Unit to reduce and maintain an acceptable
rate of delinquency.
Related Party Loans
As at December 31st, 2020, loans to staff and committee members amounted to $4,474,196.92 in the following
categories:
Education $ 30,548.40
Consumer $ 597,087.94
Mortgage $3,846,560.58
Vehicle $ 167,416.34
Conclusion
The Credit Union has experienced one of its most challenging years having encountered a .528% reduction in the
overall loan portfolio. There was a marginal decrease in the Personal, Vehicle, Education (National Student
Loans) and Debt Consolidation loan categories. Albeit, growth occurred in the Mortgage and Business loan
categories.
As noted, the Credit Union has seen an increase in delinquency and given the uncertainty which characterizes the
present economic environment, it is unsure as to when some form of ‘normalcy’ will resume. The impact of
COVID-19 on the global economy has created an unsystematic shock within the financial sector. Consequently,
it has caused the Credit Union to re-strategize to cope with both the health and fiscal threats. Furthermore, the
provision of Moratoria to members, created the double edged impact of increase in delinquency outside of the
PEARLS Standard and reduced income; thereby diminishing the overall profitability of the Credit Union.

Supervisory and Compliance Committee’s Report
for the year ended December 31, 2020
From L-R: Dixton Findlay, Calvin Herbert, Vilma Ollivierre, Randy Boucher, Tammie Walters
Introduction
The Supervisory and Compliance Committee (SCC) remained unchanged following the election of officers at the
42nd Annual General Meeting held at the Russell’s Auditorium on 1st December 2020. Sisters Vilma Ollivierre
and Tammie Walters were reelected unopposed. The rest of the Committee comprised Bros. Calvin Herbert,
Dixton Findlay and Randy Boucher.
At the first meeting of the Committee held after the AGM, Bro. Calvin Herbert and Sis. Tammie Walters were
both re-elected to serve as Chairperson and Secretary respectively. Sis. Jozell Byron, the Compliance Officer, was
reassigned as our Liaison Officer.
The Committee met every first and third Thursdays of each month to check the records of the Credit Union in its
quest to ascertain whether the policies and procedures are followed and to ensure compliance with requisite
regulations. We also met quarterly with the Board of Directors to discuss issues related to the operations of the
Credit Union.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the latter part of the first quarter 2020 continued to pose a challenge for
the Committee to execute and complete some of its duties. This was because the protocols implemented to
prevent the spread of the virus discouraged as much as possible in-house meetings. This necessitated virtual
meetings, but it did not deter the Committee from accomplishing the mandate for which it was duly elected.

prevent the spread of the virus discouraged as much as possible in-house meetings. This necessitated virtual
meetings, but it did not deter the Committee from accomplishing the mandate for which it was duly elected.
Scope of Work
In accordance with its mandate as outlined by the SVG Cooperative Societies Act No. 12 of 2012 and the Bye
Laws of SVGTCCU, the Supervisory and Compliance Committee’s scope of work for 2020 included;
· Perusal of Board of Directors’ Minutes and other related documents;
· Review of Quarterly reports to the FSA;
· Review of Dormant Accounts;
· Systems check of Board and All Committee members accounts;
· Meeting with the Board;
· Visit to the Barrouallie Branch;
· Visit to Cedars and Brighton Projects.
Operations and Control
The SCC was satisfied that the Credit Union was in compliance with the relevant Acts and Regulations. However,
the Credit Union grappled with slow implementation of some decisions.
Perusal of Board Minutes and Other Relevant Reports and Meetings with the Board
The SCC continued to check these Minutes and Reports to be up to date with the matters that are brought before
the Board and policy decisions that were made. The perusal of these Minutes and Reports constituted the greater
part of our activities because of the mode of our meetings. As mandated by the Cooperatives Societies Act, the
SCC met once per quarter with the Board of Directors to seek answers or to clarify issues pertaining to the opera-
tions of the Credit Union. The SCC commends the Board for their cooperation.
Review of Quarterly Reports to FSA
The SCC checked the quarterly reports submitted by the Credit Union to the FSA periodically to ascertain their
completion, accuracy and timely submission. The SCC was satisfied that the Credit Union was adhering to the
requirements as outlined by the FSA.
Review of Dormant Accounts
Dormant accounts have the potential to allow for fraudulent acts to be committed and go unnoticed. As such, the
SCC ensured that they were checked periodically. We were satisfied that they were free from fraudulent activi-
ties.
Systems Check of All Board and Committee Members
The SCC held the view that persons who volunteered to serve must meet the criteria of an outstanding member of
the Credit Union as stipulated in the regulations. In light of this all volunteers' accounts were checked. Two per-
sons were found to be below the level required. The information was forwarded to the Board and the SCC was
satisfied that they were dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner.

Visit to the Branches
During the last quarter of 2020, the SCC scheduled visits to the Branches, however, due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the Committee only visited the Barrouallie Branch on November 26, 2020. A few issues were
identified and were reported to the Board. These were taken seriously and corrective measures were put in place
to rectify the problems.
Visit to Cedars Development Project and the lands at Brighton
The SCC along with the Marketing Manager and Compliance Officer visited the Cedars Development Project and
the lands at Brighton. Due to the slow sale of lands, the Committee is of the opinion that marketing needs to be
more aggressive. Sale of the lands at Brighton continues to be a challenge owing to the poor condition of the
access road, the cost and exposure to sea blast.
Conclusion
The SCC thanks the Board and Management for its cooperation in the execution of its duties and is looking
forward to a continued good working relationship.
