Before he retired from NCUA, Steve Farrar wrote the NCUA regulation on capital. It then sat on the shelf for a few years until it was finalized several years later - essentially the same as Steve drafted it. In this episode learn what he thinks is important and how this regulation works - from the eyes of the author.

In 33 years at NCUA I served as Executive Director, Regional Director, Director of Special Actions, Supervisory Examiner, and Principal Examiner. I began at the ground level as an examiner. I rose to the top. As Executive Director I supervised your Regional Director. I know how NCUA thinks and why they think it. I know the examination process inside and out. I know how to communicate and negotiate with NCUA. I know how to get NCUA to YES instead of NO.
