A federation may, with the authorization of the Inspector General, suspend the powers of the board of directors or the board of audit and ethics of a credit union for a maximum period of 30 days and appoint a provisional administrator to exercise the responsibilities of the board temporarily, as soon as the federation has reason to believe(1) that there has been misappropriation or embezzlement;
(2) that there has been a grievous offence or serious lapse in the performance of obligations on the part of an officer of the credit union or on the part of its board of directors;
(3) that control over the property of the credit union is insufficient to adequately protect the rights of its members.
