WORLD
COUNCIL OF CREDIT UNION TOOLKIT SERIES Number 4 PEARLS MONITORING SYSTEM
by: David C. Richardson World Council of Credit Unions
Many different financial ratios and “rules of thumb” have
been promoted for financial institutions worldwide, but few have been
consolidated into an evaluation program that is capable of measuring both
the individual components and the system as a whole. Since 1990, the World
Council of Credit Unions, Inc. has been using a set of financial ratios
known as “PEARLS.” Each letter of the word PEARLS measures
key areas of CU operations: Protection, Effective financial structure,
Asset quality, Rates of return and cost, Liquidity and Signs of growth.
