The Importance of Prefunding QC
Fannie Mae Prefunding Quality Control (QC) Audits are comprehensive reviews and assessments conducted on mortgage loan files before they are funded or closed by the lender. These audits are a crucial component of Fannie Mae's loan acquisition process and are designed to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of the loan origination process.
With the NDB Alliance of Firms, our audit services include the following measures:
Data and Document Verification:
Prefunding QC audits involve a meticulous review of the loan application, supporting documentation, and underwriting processes. The goal is to verify that all information provided is accurate and complete, and that it aligns with Fannie Mae's guidelines and industry standards.
​
Regulatory
Compliance:
Auditors examine whether the loan complies with various regulatory requirements, including federal, state, and local laws. This includes assessing compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and other relevant regulations.
Credit Risk
Assessment:
The auditors assess the creditworthiness of the borrower by reviewing credit reports, employment and income documentation, and other factors that impact the borrower's ability to repay the loan.
​
-
Income and Asset Verification: The audit includes a thorough examination of the borrower's income and assets to ensure that they meet the lender's and Fannie Mae's guidelines.
-
Property Valuation: The property securing the loan is evaluated to ensure its value is accurately represented, typically through a review of the appraisal report and property documentation.
-
Underwriting Process Review: Auditors assess the lender's underwriting process to confirm that it adheres to Fannie Mae's guidelines and industry best practices.
-
Risk Mitigation: The audit identifies any discrepancies or issues in the loan file and provides recommendations for corrective actions to mitigate risk and improve loan quality.

Fannie Mae Post-Closing Quality Control (QC) Audits are examinations and reviews of mortgage loan files that take place after the loans have been closed and funded. These audits are an essential part of Fannie Mae's risk management and quality assurance process. The primary objectives of post-closing QC audits are to verify the accuracy of loan documentation, assess compliance with Fannie Mae's guidelines and regulatory requirements, and identify any potential issues or defects in the loan files.
Key Aspects of Fannie Mae Post-Closing QC Audits:
Document
Verification:
Auditors thoroughly examine loan files to ensure that all required documents are present, complete, and accurate. This includes but is not limited to the mortgage note, mortgage deed, title insurance, appraisal report, income verification, and disclosures.
Regulatory
Compliance:
Audits assess whether the loan transaction complies with various regulatory requirements, including federal, state, and local laws. This includes evaluating compliance with consumer protection laws such as the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), and other relevant regulations.
Credit & Underwriting Review:
The auditors review the underwriting process to verify that the loan was underwritten in accordance with Fannie Mae's guidelines and that the credit risk was properly assessed. This includes assessing the borrower's creditworthiness, income verification, and adherence to debt-to-income ratios.
Quality Control
Sampling:
Typically, post-closing QC audits involve a random sampling of closed loans to assess their quality and compliance. This allows for a representative evaluation of the lender's overall loan portfolio.
Fraud
Detection:
Auditors look for signs of potential fraud or misrepresentation in the loan files, such as discrepancies in documentation, inflated appraisals, or irregular income verification.
Corrective Action Recommendations:
If any discrepancies or issues are identified during the audit, recommendations are made for corrective actions to address deficiencies and improve loan quality. Lenders are expected to take appropriate measures to rectify any problems.
Reporting:
The findings of the post-closing QC audit are documented in a report, which is submitted to Fannie Mae. The report includes details of any deficiencies found and the recommended actions to address them.
Fannie Mae Post-Closing QC Audits are a critical part of Fannie Mae's efforts to maintain the quality of the mortgage loans it acquires. These audits help identify and rectify issues, mitigate risk, and ensure that loans are successfully packaged.
