Make Your Side Stronger Before The Lenders With Forensic Audit Mortgage

There is a line of people who would strongly oppose to the idea of a mortgage audit. As for few, spending money on the auditor’s report of mortgage is a repelling idea and they might even suggest the same to others. However, what about someone who is on the verge of a foreclosure of his or her mortgage and never consulted legal help before signing the mortgage loan. For someone a naïve at such deals, the forensic audit can be proved a boon.

A Forensic Mortgage Audit is an extensive research and review of all the documentations pertaining to the loan that includes legal documents, transaction details and other attestations related to the real estate loan. A thorough forensic mortgage audit can point out any violations of the law made by the mortgage company, the broker, or any parties involved in the deal.

An experienced Forensic audit team, conducts the audit on all the documents made on the mortgage from the time the loan was applied and also a strict check on any emails, paper-work, faxes sent to you to make sure they were in accordance with the laws at the time the mortgage was signed.


While preparing the paperwork for a loan, a lender must abide by the laws and fulfill the legal requirements. Loan violations come under serious criminal offence and there are stringent laws against it. If any violation of law appears in the auditor’s report, they may be in for a big trouble and may have to face heavy consequences.

The financial institutions understand that a small miss in the legal documents can lead to serious consequences and they may have to pay hefty compensation for such misses, which is not acceptable for them. Thus, if any loophole surfaces, their best interest would be in an out of court settlement to avoid the charges levied on them and the financial setback. These loopholes or amiss are difficult to trace by a nonprofessional, but if scanned with the professional help or a forensic mortgage audit, these are easy to find out.

An auditors report can serve as a powerful tool when negotiating with the lender. If you want the lenders to agree to your terms, you are willing to modify the loan, the repayment structure or modifications in the error of documents, it is best to have an audit report by your side that will encourage your lender to talk to you.

Forensic Audits and Financial Fraud Examiners


Forensic audit is similar to tax audit and carried out with the purpose of investigating whether an individual/ group of individuals or a firm is involved in a financial fraud. Financial scams and frauds can be of various nature including money laundering, false insurance claims, financial statement frauds, embezzlements, mortgage frauds to name a few. The ultimate aim of a forensic audit, like other forensic investigations, is to collect evidence to be used in the court of law.

In the recent past, forced foreclosures have been carried out using illegal or forged or sometimes robo-signed documents. Robo-signing is a term used to describe a document that has been attested without the attesting authority knowing about the content of the document. When this fraud was exposed, the whole of the US came to learn about how people were illegally thrown out of their homes by Banks and other money lenders.

Forensic loan audit aims to scan all the loan documents and search for possible presence of loop-holes that may adversely and illegitimately affect the borrower. This is where Auditors and Forensic Analysts come into the picture. These are the specialists who aim to unearth frauds and scams. Certified Fraud Examiners are trained in the understanding of "hows and whys" of fraudulent transactions and documents. They are skilled in multiple disciplines like complex financial transactions and the associated laws and methodologies. Sometimes the frauds are not deliberate; errors can creep into documents and financial statements that can lead a firm into trouble. It is wise to get such analysis carried out and locate the inconsistencies before they take shape of a problem.

Mortgage Analysis Online : Helping You Help Your Clients

News has been covering the uncovering of frauds more frequently than ever before in the past. You must be wondering if the financial world has gone to the dogs. The truth is that there are always some people in the systems that are looking for a short-cut to gain more money by bypassing the rules.

That is where Auditors and Forensic Analysts come into the picture. They are the good guys unearthing frauds and scams in the business world. Certified Fraud Examiners are professionals trained to gain an understanding of how and why frauds occur. They are experts in multiple disciplines like complex financial transactions and the associated laws and methodologies.

Predatory lending practices have led to a nationwide red alert. As is clear from the term itself, the lender literally hunts down a potential victim and feed on the financial gains at the cost of the borrower. Lenders that practice it, generally entice and even assist an unsuspecting borrower into taking a mortgage that will eventually, say in a year or two, make the latter go bankrupt.

Loan frauds are common in which the lender fabricates as well as conceals important terms of the mortgage. The lender at times verbally quote the borrower a lower rate of interest whereas on paper it might be much higher, many go even further and get blank papers signed by the borrower which they use to fabricate false information later. They can even get the borrower to lie about their earnings on papers which works against the borrower later, inviting higher rate of interests. It can be nothing short of a hellish nightmare for a borrower to watch himself/herself getting trapped in the quicksand of a predatory lending scheme.

Due to such practices, the role of Forensic Analysts is very important. They can help identify if a loan has malevolence hiding somewhere for the borrower. Errors and omissions may not be deliberate but even these are better off being spotted and corrected at the right time.

Mortgage Audit Online: Mortgage Audits for Businesses

Mortgage Securitization is a process in which a lender (generally a bank) pools mortgages and sells them to investors, that is, gets paid for the loans it gave to the borrower and longer runs the risk of running a loss if the borrower fails to pay back. In the past decade most mortgages in the US were securitized. However this did not stop lenders from forcing foreclosures on the properties of borrowers when some of them failed to pay their mortgage. This is illegal, as after securitization, firstly the lender has been paid for the mortgage and secondly the mortgage no longer belongs to the original lender; it now belongs to the investors that bought it.

Securitization Audits are quintessential to know if the borrower's mortgage has been securitized or not. Forced foreclosures on securitized mortgages have led to some people being literally thrown-out on the streets and their houses taken away from them illegally. Needless to say, such occurrences of dishonesty also harm the business of sincere houses.
