USDA HB-1-3555, Chapter 4, § 4.10 — Prevent Mortgage Fraud
Lenders are accountable for the contents of a loan file, including: x The sources of and authenticity of all qualifying documentation; and x Representation made on the loan application, such as occupancy, employment income, assets, equity contribution, etc. Lenders must ensure they have adequate quality control procedures in place to help detect and effectively prevent mortgage fraud. Sound pre-funding quality control practices and rigorous post-funding quality control programs are examples to safeguard against fraud. The quality control procedures should address updating company policies and procedures when fraud is discovered. When a lender becomes aware of mortgage fraud, they must report the findings surrounding the discovery to the Quality Assurance and Lender Oversight Division at [email protected]. The following information should be included: x Provide the name, email address, and telephone number of the company point of contact of the case reported; x Indicate if the fraud involves origination or servicing of the loan; x Indicate the originating lender (underwriting lender) and/or servicing lender, as applicable. Include the lender’s federal tax identification number and the lender loan number; x Agency borrower identification; x Property street, city, state, and zip code; x A detailed description of findings; and Guidance documents lack the force and effect of law, unless expressly authorized by statute or incorporated into a contract. USDA may not cite, use, or rely on any guidance that is not available through their guidance portal, except to establish historical facts x Identify the mortgage broker, loan officer, appraiser, closing agent, real estate agents, etc., as applicable. Refer to Chapter 1 of this Handbook for more information regarding falsely submitted information, fraud, and unauthorized assistance.
Operationalizing USDA SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook HB-1-3555 ¶4.10 — Prevent Mortgage Fraud
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.
