Validox - Valuation Audit Compliance That You Can Rely On
The cost of non-compliance has never been greater, and as lending compliance regulations continue to surge and their costs continue to soar, there has never been a greater need for a single source of verifiable valuation and appraiser related compliance that satisfies the demands of regulators.
The CFPB, OCC, NCUA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, Individual state and other regulatory agencies are required to expand their auditing activities to include a large increase in the amount of documented information related to Appraiser Independence and Risk Management. Validox provides the required verified documentation necessary to help comply with CFPB, OCC, NCUA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA audits, as well as the other federal and individual state agencies.
No Lender or AMC can afford to be caught without the proper verified documentation proving compliance.
When AMCs register with State Appraiser Boards the mortgage lender and AMC are certifying that they have audit-proof systems and verified documentation to prove the following:
- Ensure all appraisers produce all reports in compliance with USPAP
- Review appraisers' work with a formal review done by a certified appraiser in the particular state
- Verify Good Standing and use of only valid licensed or certified appraisers
- Provide evidence of Customary and Reasonable fees for appraisers
- Remove an appraiser from a list of appraisers in a method that does not violate appraiser regulations
- Allow appraisers to adequately review an assignment request prior to acceptance
- Ensure that appraisers are Geographically Competent
- Ensure that appraisers are Product-type Competent for every assignment
- Archive all critical documentation for audit purposes, engagement letters & communications
- Compensate appraisers by deadlines established by state specific laws
