Recorded: February 16, 2021
Presented by: Ms. Anetria Cohen, VP and Senior Consultant, Forvis Mazars​

A two-hour webinar to review the origination of a mortgage loan. Everything from application to closing!

Originating a mortgage loan is perhaps one of the most difficult processes among all lending products from a compliance standpoint, particularly with all of the changes due to the 2008 financial crisis and the resulting Dodd-Frank Act. Lenders must comply with a number of provisions under different regulations, which can be confusing and overwhelming.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of federal lending compliance requirements, presented from the time of application to closing, and will differentiate between those rules that require us to provide disclosures and those that require certain analysis. The webinars will provide a refresher for those who are familiar to lending compliance, and an excellent introduction for those new to lending area.
