Overview
Producing an error-free Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) report has always been demanding, and the rules have changed repeatedly under the CFPB. Mistakes can mean costly rework or fines. This 60-minute HMDA reporting training covers tools and techniques to avoid them.
Drawing on statistics about common errors and a former regulator's experience of which mistakes matter most, you'll learn how regulators view HMDA reports and what concerns them. You'll look at both large-scale mistakes and errors in individual applications.
The session also covers what management and staff can each do to reduce mistakes, including techniques for reducing human error in any operation.
Why attend: HMDA reports can contain many kinds of mistakes, some more common and some more serious than others. A high error rate can lead to rework, fines and lost trust with regulators. Knowing where to focus helps you put effort where it pays off. It suits anyone working in HMDA reporting, including associates, supervisors and managers.
