Key regulations To ensure that each SACCO Society maintains a level of capital which is adequate to protect or cushion member deposits and creditors against losses resulting from business risks that the SACCO, as a financial institution faces Core capital NOT less than 10% of total assets Core capital Not less than 8% of deposits Institutional Capital NOT less than 8% of total assets The Authority may require higher minimum capital ratios
Capital Adequacy Capital adequacy requirements ensure that each SACCO Society maintains a level of capital adequate to protect or cushion member deposits and creditors against losses resulting from business risks that the SACCO, faces. These risks include credit, investment, legislative, liquidity, interest rate and competitive risks. Thus as a measure of a financial institution s safety and soundness, adequate capital promotes public confidence in the institution.
Capital Adequacy Capital in a Sacco Society is composed of: a) core capital defined by the Sacco Societies Act, 2008 as fully paid up members shares, retained earnings, disclosed reserves, grants and donations all of which are NOT meant to be expended unless on liquidation of the Sacco society. b) Instituitional capital is core capital less the members share capital. Institutional capital is the portion of the core capital that belongs to the SACCO society as an institution such that no one member can individually lay claim on it. Thus, Core Capital = Fully paid up members share capital + statutory reserves + retained earnings + disclosed reserves + grants/donations; and;
Does this example pass the test Total assets 67,500,000 Core capital 5,000,000 Member shares contribution 1,000,000 Institutional capital (statutory, revenue) 4,000,000 Member deposits and liabilities 62,500,000
CAPITAL ADEQUACY Minimum Core Capital The minimum core capital for a SACCO Society shall at all times be Kshs.10 million (ten million shillings). This must be met before a license is issued. A SACCO Society s capital levels will be monitored on a continuous basis by the Authority and may be reviewed from time to time. All Sacco Societies carrying out deposit taking business had four (4) years to build their capital to the regulatory standards (expiry was June 2014). What about new ones?
