About the Event

This webinar dives into the vital functions of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) in maintaining integrity, compliance and fraud prevention within mortgage operations. QA focuses on improving internal processes before loan sale, while QC audits closed loans to identify issues and mitigate risk. Participants will also gain a clear understanding of how structured audits and risk frameworks contribute to fraud detection and resolution.

Experts will also highlight common mortgage fraud schemes, including identity theft, air loans, straw buyers and appraisal fraud. Attendees will learn to spot red flags in loan files, verifications and closing documents that often indicate fraudulent activity. Speakers will also review relevant federal and state legislation, including the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009 (FERA), and underscore the consequences of mortgage fraud.
