As regulatory standards tighten and the enforcement environment frosts, data integrity becomes even more of a critical focus for the participants in the mortgage industry. Of particular importance is the need by lending institutions to complete a successful regulatory or compliance audit.

Complete and accurate data can be difficult to maintain and validate. Yet in order to avoid penalties and/or lending limitations, institutions must embrace rigorous protocols for capturing, maintaining and distributing quality data.

Deficient or defective data obviously casts a severe impact on the servicing of individual loans, and may also affect portfolio valuations, MSR sales and servicing transfers.

When pricing a discrete loan with defective or deficient data, it is likely the entire portfolio will be affected and thus undervalued. The impact of just a few data-deficient loans on an entire portfolio is significant and may be evidence of a greater data failure. One bad apple may, in fact, spoil the whole basket.

MDS offers solutions to improve data quality and to implement industry best practices to overcome data deficits and the attendant compliance challenges.

  • Direct servicing data through 600+ point data audit evaluation
