2026 AICPA Conference on Credit Unions

A broad range of developments affecting credit unions, including supervision, accounting, capital, technology, and operations, were major topics of discussion at the 2026 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Conference on Credit Unions.

Economic conditions provided important context for many of the discussions throughout the conference, which also covered a variety of other industry hot topics such as:

• How credit unions are adapting their balance sheets, operations, and risk management practices to current conditions
• Digital assets less as a speculative investment category and more as part of the developing infrastructure for payments, settlement, custody, and collateral
• AI, both as a stand-alone topic and as part of broader conversations about operations, controls, and the member experience

Our professionals cover the hot topics and key takeaways in this briefing.
