Effective 2015-09-14 · publisher's stamp for this provision

b. Loan Sample Risk Assessment (09/14/2015) i. Definition A Loan Sample Risk Assessment is a method of evaluating loans selected for QC on the basis of the severity of the violations found during QC reviews. ii. Standard Mortgagees must establish a Loan Sample Risk Assessment methodology. At a minimum, the methodology must include the categories of risk described below. The Mortgagee must compare one month’s QC sample to previous QC samples in order to conduct trend analysis. iii. Risk Categories (A) Low Risk No issues or minor variances were identified with the origination, underwriting, or servicing of the Mortgage. (B) Moderate Risk The records contained unresolved questions or missing documentation. Issues were identified pertaining to processing, documentation, or decisions made during Loan Administration, but none were material. Failure to resolve these issues created a moderate risk to the Mortgagee and to FHA. (C) Material Risk The issues identified during the review contained Material Findings which represent an unacceptable level of risk. iv. Required Documentation The Mortgagee must document the methodology used to establish the loan sample risk assessment system and conduct trend analysis.

Operationalizing FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part V

This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.

To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
