1.) To Meet the Requirements of the States when applying for/renewing a License.
States hold employers liable for the actions of employees. Without documented policies, the Regulator cannot be sure the employer has established standards of conduct and best practices. 2.) To Answer Operational Concerns of a Regulator. Often lenders do not have sufficient operational, credit policy, or process management support which can result in concerns for examiners. Comprehensive, cohesive policies and procedures are the proper response to this concern 3.) To Meet the Requirements of FNMA (Fannie Mae), FHLMC Freddie Mac, FHA/VA, warehouse lenders and correspondent investors. Written Policies and Procedures are a requirement of the agencies when you apply for status as a seller or servicer 4.) To Remove Legal Liability and Support Errors and Omissions If you do not have written policies and procedures you have no recourse against your employees in the event of any violations. This is critical if you have to discipline an employee or defend yourself in a Legal Action 5.) To Provide an Internal Training Program Mundane, repetitive training is managed uniformly. Handle simple tasks that consume an inordinate amount of management time like training
In any of these areas documenting the process is time consuming. Worse yet, the instruction for procedures and "how to" do something as simple as determine which credit bureau or appraiser to use tends to change from person to person. This can perpetuate misinformation. 7.) Initial Internal Training for Employees. Avoid repetitive process instruction and redundant errors. Policies and procedures manuals give you the opportunity to train a position specific function. They become the foundation for your internal new employee training program. |
