CARLSBAD, Calif., May 5, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — To meet lenders’ growing demand for compliance assistance, leading mortgage compliance services provider The Compliance Group, Inc. (TCG) announced it offers a comprehensive suite of audit and monthly outsourced compliance services, encompassing both federal and state-level audits as well as a host of other compliance-related reviews and content development.
“While compliance ‘providers’ seem to be popping up left and right, TCG has been in the compliance business for more than 14 years, and these kinds of services have long been the cornerstone of our business,” said Annemaria Allen, CEO/president of The Compliance Group. “Furthermore, the depth of experience of our staff is among the most extensive in the industry and is what we believe to be our differentiator in the market.”
TCG’s outsourced compliance services are designed for lenders seeking ongoing support in meeting their internal and external compliance demands. Based on each client’s unique needs, TCG operates as an extension of the lender, executing the agreed-upon compliance program and providing monthly support, updates and feedback. TCG also provides lenders with access to its staff of qualified compliance experts to address various compliance questions.
In addition, these services are also offered a la carte, allowing lenders to build the outsourced compliance program that fits their needs and budget. TCG can support, but is not limited to the following compliance activities:
* State and/or federal audits;
* Disclosure reviews;
* Written policy and procedures for a wide range of regulations, including:
– Anti-Money Laundering (AML);
– Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA);
– Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB);
– Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA);
– Truth in Lending Act (TILA);
– Customer Complaints; and
– Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA);
* Testing against existing policy and procedures;
* Compliance file reviews;
* Due diligence;
* Fair Lending reviews;
* Advertising reviews; and
* CFPB, FHA and GSE audit preparedness.
In regards to specific external audits, TCG bases part of its core review upon audit recommendations provided by Fannie Mae – which, according to Allen, are by far one of the most comprehensive. TCG also reviews all departments within the lender’s origination and servicing operations to determine if any deficiencies exist and examines the following areas of compliance regulations for areas of risk:
* Regulation Z;
* Regulation X;
* Regulation B;
* Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)/Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA);
* Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices (UDAAP);
* Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act;
* Appraiser Independence Requirements (AIR); and
* HMDA, with specific interest on how data is captured.
“Often, lenders are resource shy and need to perform these kinds of audits to meet various investor and regulatory requirements. Other times, lenders simply need to focus on critical areas and demonstrate that the audit process is occurring,” Allen added. “Regardless, TCG provides a thorough review of all the nuances of a lender’s operations to identify existing best practices and provide actionable items for improvement.”
TCG will be in attendance at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Legal Issues and Regulatory Compliance Conference in San Diego May 4 – 7.
