Outline the monitoring/audit process that you have implemented to ensure compliance. You should include the following: How you will monitor/audit compliance. Who will undertake the monitoring/audit process. What tools you will use. How or where you will record the outcomes. (150 words) Student response to Task 3: Question 8 A random loan should be selected from each broker to ensure they are meeting their legal obligations. There are several areas which can be audited, such as best interest duty, loan being not unsuitable and responsible lending. There should be sufficient data in the clients file to establish this. An officer from the quality and safety department trained in auditing would be a good choice to conduct the audit. It is important that an impartial individual conducts the audit to ensure fairness for all brokers. To ensure the comparisons are equal, a checklist or auditing plan should be followed. This ensures all brokers receive the same treatment as they are audited on the same items. The outcomes should be recorded in a format in which makes each assessable item identifiable. For example, for a smaller firm an excel spreadsheet may suffice, and subsequent years may be added as separate tabs. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

(c) Dear Manager, Regarding the Q3 results, I have noted that I have dropped below the target results in two goals, namely the prospecting calls and application accuracy. The prospecting calls have dropped from exceeding the target (103%) to falling below (94%). Additionally, the application accuracy has dropped from exceeding the target in Q2 (101%) to just falling short in Q3 (98%). I am disappointed in myself for not meeting my targets. Can you please provide feedback on how I can improve my performance to ensure that I meet your targets? I have already changed my workflow to ensure a second check is completed before submitting the documents to increase the accuracy. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Your Broker Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 6: Question 7 Improving your own work performance requires both self-assessment and seeking feedback from others. (a) Describe how you monitor and update your own performance against your scorecard. (b) To improve your own personal performance, how should you approach the feedback you receive from others? (c) When reviewing your performance against your colleagues/workgroup, describe the different methods you can use to analyse and interpret feedback from others. (d) When communicating with people from different cultures, identify what barriers you need to overcome to ensure you meet your personal responsibilities? (200 words) Student response to Task 6: Question 7 (a) An easy way to monitor and update your own performance would be to create and regularly update an excel spreadsheet. Utilising this, you can track your own performance against goals and performance indicators. Some companies have software which do this automatically. (b) you should receive the feedback positively and welcomingly; someone is utilising their time to help you improve. Take it on board and change your work processes, or alternatively, update your goals to incorporate the feedback. (c) The ranking team members on performance indictors can be used to assist when adding weight to feedback from others. For example, if you are the lowest ranked in a certain criterion, and the highest ranked offers you suggestions, the weight of the feedback would likely be high as this person excels in this area, having achieved the highest rank in the company. A professional development plan is another method analyse feedback from others. This document may highlight any weaknesses on which the supervisor/manager wishes you to improve on, and how to achieve this. For example, through an external course. These are valuable methods in analysing and interpreting feedback from others, which can then be fed back into your goals. Document classification: Confidential Page 32 of 124

(d) There can be multiple barriers when communicating with people from different cultures. This can be overcome with the correct attitude, training, and awareness. It is important to portray yourself as respectful to avoid any misunderstandings. Training assists in understanding different cultures, such as cultural dress codes or dietary taboos. It is important to speak clearly and limit colloquialisms when conducting cross cultural communication. However, it is imperative that you do not come across as patronising.

Your PDP must include the following, namely: the two (2) KPIs from your scorecard for which you are behind as at Q3. a goal for each of those KPIs to ensure you will achieve them by Q4. the steps/actions you will take to achieve the goals. two (2) professional development areas that you would like to improve two (2) formal training or continuous professional development activities that relate to the industry (refer to industry associations for ideas). the minimum amount of CPD points you would need to maintain if you were a Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) member holding ‘loan writer’ status ( link available in the Toolbox ). (b) Once you have completed your personal development plan, who will you seek feedback from on the plan? (150 words) Student response to Task 6: Question 8 (a) Professional Development Plan Development Area: As of Q3, Prospecting Calls and Application Accuracy were beneath the company threshold and require improvement. Goal: 26 or more prospecting calls and to increase application accuracy so that it is above 95% in Q4. Actions: Manage time more effectively and allocate time for checking applications and prospecting calls. In addition, upskilling where possible. This benefits in two ways, as it adds towards the CPD requirements whilst upskilling and becoming a more efficient employee. Two areas to improve in are managing time effectively and communication, with both internal and external stakeholders. Two MFAA Courses under Personal Development to be completed include Time Management and Communication Skills. The time management would be useful to allow more time for checking applications to achieve the required accuracy and allowing time for prospecting calls. MFAA Members holding loan-writing status are required to maintain a minimum of 30 CPD hours each year. (b) I would week feedback from my manager or supervisor on the professional development plan. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Student response to Task 6: Question 9 (a) Loan Administration Officer Development Area: More timely communication with clients regarding milestones and improved conflict resolution in response to client complaints. Goals: To communicate in an effective and timely manner with clients. Ideally, any milestones regarding the loan should be communicated within 24 hours as per the company policy. Clients should feel confident their complaints are taken seriously and will be acted upon. Actions : To meet this goal, prioritisation is imperative. A course on time management and communication would be useful in order to achieve the first goal. As dealing with complaints can be tough, courses such as conflict resolution and emotional intelligence can assist in improvement in these areas and achieving the goals. (b) New Mortgage Broker Development Area : Adherence to company policy and meet annual CPD points Goals: To improve adherence with company policy and procedures and to meet or exceed company and MFAA CPD requirements. Actions: Supervisor will allocate time to read through the company manuals to enable a stricter adherence to company policy and procedures. This results in a longer-term productivity gain. Complete the MFAA Time Management course to improve efficiency, this assists with achieving both goals. To support the goals, the company can block out time in each broker’s calendar to meet the CPD requirements. This could lead to an organisational change to improve the process for onboarding new brokers in the future. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Task 7 — Customer service Customer service is integral to the success of any organisation and regardless of industry, customers are placed at the core of everything businesses do. Therefore, being clear on your organisation’s customer service standards is critical to ensure that the service you and your team provide is in line with its culture and expectations. Organisations establish customer service systems to ensure there is a consistently high standard of service for customers from end to end, across all departments, involving all team members, and at every touchpoint their customers have with their organisation. It is important that the customer service system is continually monitored and reviewed to ensure that the system remains effective. For the following questions, reflect on your current or past organisation or conduct research to explain how businesses approach gathering, monitoring and acting on feedback from internal and external customers. Then answer the following questions. Task 7: Question 1 List and explain three (3) processes that a business can use to gather feedback from its clients? (30 words) Student response to Task 7: Question 1 Three ways of gathering feedback are customer surveys, face-to-face conversations, and monitoring social media.

Social media allow the creation or sharing of user content. Thoughts and opinions can be disseminated globally within seconds and the response can be monitored.

(b) Provide two (2) suggestions for ensuring that team members are accountable for the customer service standards in the workplace. (75 words) Student response to Task 7: Question 3 (a) Send out a survey for the clients to complete, with targeted questions regarding customer satisfaction and response times.

This drives the buyer thinking, agendas, and influences the buying process. Execute purchase involves another three steps in the buying (intervention, selection and commitment) and selling (solution crafting, solution presentation and win). In this stage, sellers are brought in here by buyers who are late to the game. Finally, drive results has one step in the buying (implementation) and selling (account development) process.

Task 10: Question 1 (a) Identify and make a comprehensive list (minimum of ten (10) internal and external networks). This can include networking groups and/or associations. List people by their role rather than their names – if you are not currently working, you can list the networks you would have in a mortgage broker role.

Social Media Can target a large group of people simultaneously. This could be used to broadcast a special deal by one of the banks on your lending panel for home loan refinancing. 2. Phone call This could be used to check in with certain clients to offer a service, such as a check of their current loans and see if they would be better off with refinancing 3. Text messaging A text message is an informal way to maintain relationships. However, it should be used once rapport has been established as you don’t want to come across too familiar before a connection is established. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Task 18: Question 7 After considering the client's financial position, what loan amount would you recommend, and why? (30 words) Student response to Task 18: Question 7 As the client has requested certainty of payments, I would recommend a fixed interest rate or split complete home loan package.

Task 18: Question 10 Most lenders stress test home loan repayments by adding a 3.0% buffer to the interest rate to make sure the borrower can afford the repayments over the medium term. If interest rates increased by 3.0%, what would Philip and Jennifer’s loan repayments be, and do you think they would be able to cope with the extra repayment amount? (50 words) Student response to Task 18: Question 10 An increase in interest rates of 3.0% would result in monthly payments being $2,961.13, however they have opted for a fixed interest rate product which would mean the interest rate increase would not be passed onto them during the fixed term. However, for the purpose of the exercise they would still be able to cope with the extra repayment. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

The means the same interest rate would be payable for the term of the fixed interest rate period.

Task 19 — Presenting borrowing options and potential benefits Task 19: Question 1 Although Philip and Jennifer (Case Study 1) are looking to borrow at approximately 90% LVR, what other options may be available to them that would avoid the cost of LMI? Provide at least three (3) options. (100 words) Student response to Task 19: Question 1 The clients may have a family member provide a guarantee for their loan. This allows the lender to use some of the equity in a family member’s property to provide backup security should the borrower fail to repay their debt. As a mortgage broker, we could investigate lenders which will lend at a higher LVR without LMI due to the client’s professions. Finally, as the loan is for a home in Victoria, the clients can utilise the current Victorian Homebuyer Fund shared equity scheme. All the above are options which would avoid having the cost of LMI capitalised into their loan, saving the client’s $5080 upfront, plus the interest over the course of the loan. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 19: Question 2 Describe the First Home Owner’s Grant or home buyer assistance scheme benefits and stamp duty concessions that are available in the state where Philip and Jennifer are purchasing their home. Are Philip and Jennifer eligible for any assistance? Explain why or why not? (100 words) Student response to Task 19: Question 2 Victoria has several initiatives to assist first home buyers in the state. These include the Victorian Homebuyer Fund shared equity scheme, Stamp duty removal or reduction and first homeowner grants. The clients are eligible for the first two schemes; however, they do not qualify for the first homeowners grant of $10,000 because they are not purchasing a new apartment. The Victorian Homebuyer Fund shared equity scheme means the government will contribute up to 25% of the purchase price in exchange for an equivalent share in the property. This means no LMI. Stamp duty would be reduced by 50% under the stamp duty reduction scheme. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Document classification: Confidential Page 82 of 124

Task 19: Question 3 Philip and Jennifer have called to discuss an issue in relation to the product option you have proposed. They are wondering whether it would be better to fix the interest rate on their loan after having received several conflicting viewpoints from family and friends. (a) Explain the process you would use to research and identify the various product options available to address the issue raised and still meet the needs of Philip and Jennifer. (b) Explain to Philip and Jennifer two (2) advantages and two (2) disadvantages of fixing a loan over different fixed rate terms. (150 words) Student response to Task 19: Question 3 (a) Research all loan types through the aggregator and present them to the clients. The clients have requested certainty with their repayments which lends to a fixed rate loan. Research into the bond market could also assist with the decision whether to fix or not due the futures market indication. (b) Fixing a loan over the short-term compared to the long-term years has multiple advantages and disadvantages. For example, a fixed rate loan over one year, may provide a lower interest rate for the clients as the lender has more certainty of where the interest rate will be in one year instead of 5 years’ time. Additionally, if interest rates are anticipated to increase in the short term and then decrease, a 1-year fixed loan would serve the clients well, locking in the interest rate for the short-term increase, then giving them the option for another fixed term or change to variable if the interest rates are decreasing. The disadvantage of choosing a shorter fixed term loan is that if interest rates increase more than expected, after one year the client will have to lock in a higher rate or go with a variable loan, which would be at a higher rate than if a 5-year loan was selected. Another disadvantage of a shorter-term loan is lack of certainty regarding repayments. A long-term fixed loan provides certainty to repayments for the fixed period which allows for accurate budgeting. A shorter-term loan does not provide this and after the short period is up, the client is exposed to interest rate increases. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 19: Question 4 What other option/s can you suggest if Philip and Jennifer remain uncertain about whether to fix the rate on their loan?

Student response to Task 19: Question 4 Another option for the clients would be a split loan. This means having a portion of the loan with a fixed interest rate and the remainder on a variable interest rate. This is a good mix and protects the clients against interest rate rises by having a portion fixed, but also allows them to capitalise on any interest rate decreases on the variable portion. A split loan is a good compromise or hedge against interest rate movements. The negative of a split loans mean that any interest rate decreases are not fully captured as fixed interest rate portion remains the same. Additionally, with an interest rate decrease, the repayments on the variable portion will also increase. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

(a) What process would you follow during your discussion with the clients to ensure you have a good assessment of their needs? (50 words) Student response to Task 19: Question 5(a) Show the clients that a single income would not be enough to service the loan comfortably, and in order to protect their home, they should consider taking out an appropriate mortgage protection insurance policy. This would ensure they can continue to meet the repayments should one of the clients be unable to work. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Task 20 – Supporting the client to settlement Although a broker does not participate in the settlement process, they still need to remain in touch with all of the stakeholders until the loan settles. Task 20: Question 1 Why it is important for the broker to remain informed of developments in the lending process despite not being actively involved at every stage? (100 words) Student response to Task 20: Question 1 It is important that the broker is across all developments so they can try and predict any issues that may arise and plan appropriately. For example, if the broker is not informed of any pre settlement conditions, they cannot assist. The broker may work closely with numerous other companies and have relationships which mean they can call in last minute favours e.g., from a pest or building inspector. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 20: Question 2 The application form and related documents have now been signed and forwarded to the lender for approval. Philip and Jennifer have agreed that you will keep their solicitor informed of progress if/when the loan is approved. (a) To improve your service delivery standards and ensure you are communicating effectively with Philip and Jennifer for the remainder of your interactions with them, you thought this was an appropriate time to review your client service standards. Refer to the ‘Example of an organisation’s policies and procedures’ document in the Toolbox under the section ‘client service standards’. What evidence would you consider in your review of the service delivery standards? (b) Considering organisational policy and procedure, how would you document the improvements and to whom in your organisation might you submit your review of the standards? (100 words) Student response to Task 20: Question 2 (a) Evidence to consider would be the timelines to reply or action emails and the notification of loan decisions. These are areas where an audit can easily determine where standards are being met or where improvement is required. For example, notification of a loan decision within 12 hours of receipt exceeds the standard of 24 hours. However, if the notification is sent 55 hours after receipt, then the service standard has not been met and it would be prudent to investigate the reasons why, to ensure it doesn’t occur again and client service standards are maintained. (b) Any improvements should be documented via email or as per company guidelines. The review should be sent to your manager for review. Some may include their team for transparency and to stimulate further review and discussions. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Document classification: Confidential Page 86 of 124

Task 22 ― Preparing a preliminary assessment Preparing a preliminary assessment is required under the NCCP Act. In this task, you are required to prepare a preliminary assessment for Case study 2: Mary Azacca. Task 22: Question 1 Before preparing the preliminary assessment, under best interest duty, you need to assess if there is a benefit to the customer by switching loans. To determine if there is a benefit for the client you need to go to the MoneySmart website. Using the mortgage switching calculator, you need to: (a) provide the result using the calculator (b) explain if the customer will benefit from switching lenders. The MoneySmart link can be located in the Toolbox. (50 words) Student response to Task 22: Question 1 (a) Assuming $10/month fee on current loan and $300 application fee on new loan with no monthly fee and that with the additional repayments, the current loan is paid off in 20 years, not the 23 remaining, the calculator shows Mary will be $36,002 better off by switching loans. If Mary switches loans and continues with the same repayments, she will save $52,887 and pay the mortgage off in 18 years. (b) The customer will benefit from switching lenders, as detailed above, by switching lenders and continuing with the same repayment amount, the customer will pay the loan off sooner and save over $50,000. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 22: Question 2 Will Mary be required to pay LMI? Explain why or why not. (20 words) Student response to Task 22: Question 2 No, Mary will not pay LMI as the LVR is less than 80% Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Task 22: Question 7 You are required to present your analysis and recommendations to your client. On this occasion you will make your presentation in an email. You will gather some of the information from your preliminary assessment and you will also need to include the following information. Provide a brief summary of your understanding of the clients’ needs (this could be an outline summary of their proposed loan structure). Provide a brief summary of the clients’ current financial position (use information from the case study). Give an explanation of the product options evaluated that meet their needs (you should have researched at least three (3) lenders as part of the preliminary assessment) and details of the loan features. Use the internet or, if working in the industry, internal software to do this. Explain the option you recommend and the reasons for the recommendation — including the loan amount, term and repayments. Explain how the recommended product meets the clients’ needs (refer to the case study) Invite questions from the client and respond in a follow-up email accordingly. Seek agreement from the client to proceed with the product recommendation. (200 words) Student response to Task 22: Question 7 Hi Mary, Thanks for completing the fact-finding document. To summarise, you are looking to refinance your existing home loan of $330,000 You would prefer a 20-year term, with premium home loan features, including a redraw facility and offset account, with card access. You’d like ability to make additional payments from time to time without penalty and would prefer to make repayments fortnightly. You currently have a $1533 surplus each month, own three vehicles and have an $935,000 asset/liability surplus. From that data I have determine that these three products meet your requirements: ME Bank, loans.com.au and Yard. ME Bank has free redraws, no account keeping fees, and lets you pay off your loan as early as you like. ME Bank also has a refinancing offer of $2,500 cash back, which you qualify for. Loans.com.au also meets your requirements, however the monthly repayment is $1 more per month and the discounted interest rate is only for two years. Loans.com.au also meets your requirements, however the monthly repayment is $17 more per month compared to ME Bank. My recommendation is to proceed with ME Bank. It meets your requirements listed above, is the cheapest, and has the cashback offer. The following details apply: 20-year loan of $330,000 Current Variable rate of 4.49%p.a. Monthly repayment at current interest rate is $2110, giving you a $123 saving per month compared to your current loan. Please advise if you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them. Otherwise, if you are happy, could you please reply that you consent to continuing with refinancing through ME Bank? Regards, Your Broker Document classification: Confidential Page 98 of 124

Task 22: Question 8 Mary has responded to your email asking some questions. To: Broker 1 Broker1 @CCF&MB.com.au From: mary.azacca@gmail.com Re: Recommendation Dear broker, Thank you for providing your recommendation for the home loan product for my refinance application. I have some questions I am hoping you can answer for me: 1. I want to open a bank account to make sure there is somewhere for any disbursement of surplus funds from the refinance settlement and also for my periodical payments to be debited from. What options do I have to apply to open a bank account? 2. What ID will I need to provide to open a new bank account? I look forward to receiving your reply. Thank you. Mary Azacca Send a reply email to Mary to answer her questions. (100 words) Hint/Tip: You will need to conduct your own research to answer this question. Refer to the Toolbox for a suggested website. Student response to Task 22: Question 8 FWD: To: Mary Azacca mary.azacca@gmail.com From: broker1@CCF&MB.com.au re: Recommendation Hi Mary, There are many bank accounts to choose from, personally I’d go with a high interest bank account so you can have your money working for you when not in use. For example, Ubank currently has one of the better interest rates going around with minimal conditions at 3.85% commencing 1 Dec 2022. You can view the details here: https://www.ubank.com.au/banking/savings-account Ubank is owned by NAB and is backed by the government for the $250,000 deposit guarantee. To open an account, you’ll need an Australian mobile number and at least 1 of the following types of Australian issued ID: a driver licence, passport, Medicare card, or birth certificate Regards, Your Broker Document classification: Confidential Page 100 of 124

Dear Ravi and Alice, To summarise your position, you owe $450,000 on your current property (valued at $1,300,000) and would like to borrow approximately $715,000 to purchase an investment property, of which you have already paid a $66,000 deposit, which you’d like to return to your offset account. You’d like an interest only, 25 year loan with the first five years as interest only. This gives you a total loan of $1,165,000 for the investment property and your current home. During the interest only part of the loan, your repayments would be $2,800 per month. You also have $37,500 in savings which you’d like to keep. I’ve utilised an online calculator to ensure that the repayments can be met, and it is good news. Please see below for a copy of the calculator that has been used to make the assessment: The above calculator shows that the loan is viable, even with a 3% increase in the interest rate on your investment loan. Two loan options that I have prepared for you are: NAB Basic Variable and ANZ Basic Variable   NAB (option 1) ANZ (option 2) Loan Amount $715,000 $715,000 Loan Term 25 years 25 years Interest Only 5 years 5 years Interest 4.70% 4.70% Application fee $0 $0 Annual fee $398 $0 Repayments $2,800/month $2,800/month The major difference between NAB and ANZ is the annual fee, which ANZ has waived for you. I recommend taking out the ANZ loan. ANZ has agreed to match the interest rate with your current lender, Penrith Mutual. This means you will continue paying $1,800 per month for your current home loan. This meets your requirements of a 25-year loan, with the first five years as interest only. For clarity, we’ll refinance and use the equity in your current home to avoid paying LMI. Document classification: Confidential Page 114 of 124

Task 24: Question 3 Ravi has responded to your email asking some questions. To: Broker 1 Broker1 @CCF&MB.com.au From: ravi.patel @jayzar.com .au Re: Recommendation Dear broker, Thank you for providing your recommendation for the home loan product for our refinance application. I have some questions I am hoping you can answer for us: 1. Can you please explain our rights for obtaining a written assessment. 2. Do you have to provide us with a comparison rate with your home loan product recommendations, and can you please explain the difference between the interest rate and the comparison rate? 3. We would like to negotiate the application fee or the interest rate for the product you’ve recommended. Can you please advise how much you can negotiate for either the interest rate or the application fee on our behalf? Thank you and regards, Ravi Patel Send a reply email to Ravi to respond to those questions. (100 words) Student response to Task 24: Question 3 FWD : To: Ravi Patel ravi@jayzar.com.au From: broker1@CCF&MB.com.au Re: Recommendation Hi Ravi, Thanks for your email. 1. According to the NCCP Act you are entitled to request a free copy of the written assessment stating that your loan is not unsuitable. You are entitled to this document within seven years of the date of the quote. 2. Under the NCCP Act requires providers of consumer credit to provide a comparison rate when advertising their interest rate. The comparison rate is a more wholistic summary as it takes into additional fees and charges, where are the interest rate is purely the interest paid on the loan. I recommend you refer to the comparison rate when comparing products. 3. As each application is different it is hard to say, however from previous clients, we have managed to get a reduction of interest around 0.1-0.2% or the application fees waived. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions. Regards. Your Broker Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Document classification: Confidential Page 116 of 124

Task 26 ― Preparing the loan for settlement Although a broker does not participate in the settlement process, they still need to remain in touch with all the stakeholders until the loan settles. Before the loan can settle the borrower needs to adhere to pre-settlement conditions. Task 26: Question 1 In the pre-settlement phase, there are items that need to be checked and satisfied. For each one, explain why it is required (i.e. what is the importance of each of item): (a) building insurance (b) independent legal advice. (40 words) Student response to Task 26: Question 1 (a) building insurance is required as is the loan is taken out against that asset. If that asset was to be insured, the mortgagor would owe more than the asset is valued. (b) Independent solicitors confirm in writing that the mortgagee understands the risks and dangers of the loan. Assessor feedback Resubmission required? No Task 26: Question 2 Explain the settlement process to the client, include the personnel who are involved at each step. (100 words) Student response to Task 26: Question 2 Settlement occurs when the purchaser pays the balance of the purchase price (plus or minus adjustments) to the vendor and takes possession of the title documents. The settlement usually occurs at a place nominated by vendor, or vendor’s lender if there is an outgoing mortgagee. Representatives of the purchaser, vendor and lenders (incoming and outgoing) are usually present at settlement. It is at this time that moneys are exchanged in return for the necessary title documents. These documents will differ depending on the title particulars of the property. Where there is an existing mortgage on the property, it will be discharged, and a representative of the mortgagee will also be present to collect moneys owing and to hand over relevant documents. Before the settlement is finalised, all parties must be completely satisfied that all documentation is complete and properly executed. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?

Task 26: Question 3 Explain a minimum of four (4) examples of issues that can occur which may delay or prevent a settlement. (80 words) Student response to Task 26: Question 3 Settlement may be delayed due to the pre-settlement conditions not being met. One being building insurance, if the insurance is not taken out then settlement would be delayed until an appropriate policy had been taken out. Any discrepancies on the certificate of currency would also result in a delayed settlement. For example, the lenders name being left off the certificate of currency or the property being under insured. A delayed statement of adjustment would also delay the settlement, as it cannot occur until it has been approved by the vendor. Assessor feedback Resubmission required?
