Mortgage Bankers & Brokers

Mortgage bankers and brokers must operate within a regulated environment and are often faced with complex accounting issues.

The rules and regulations issued by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and various state banking departments must be monitored on a regular basis to ensure compliance. The degree of complexity and compliance requirements depends on a number of factors including the number of states in which the entity is licensed; the number of branch offices; various net worth requirements; whether the entity is a loan originator only or if loans are also being serviced; or if the entity has a warehouse line of credit. Participation in the FHA mortgage insurance programs also subjects entities to additional financial reporting requirements.
