ALLL Review
Our lending consultants will perform an independent assessment of both the methodology and documentation of the financial institution's Adequacy of Loan and Lease Loss (ALLL) process as required by the regulatory agencies' policy statement on ALLL Documentation and Methodology Guidance. We will also validate your ALLL methodology and determine if it conforms to generally accepted accounting practices and financial supervisory guidance. Return to Top
Appraisal Review
The third-party appraisal review is designed to help you comply with independent appraisal and evaluation guidelines and regulations. This review provides the bank with an objective assessment of selected appraisals, gauge usefulness of the appraisal document as a basis for determining collateral coverage, identify any documentation and procedural concerns or areas in which improvements could be made, and ensure that the selected appraisals adhere to the bank’s policies. Reviews can be tailored to the needs of your bank. The third-party appraisal review offers banks a practical alternative when time and personnel constraints might otherwise occur when ensuring adherence to the regulations and guidelines.

Due Diligence Review of Loans/Portfolio
Our lending consultants can conduct a due diligence review of individual loans and portfolios of loans considered for purchase by your bank. This review will be conducted in order to determine the underwriting quality, the level of regulatory compliance, and the adequacy of file documentation. This review can assess quality from a secondary market viewpoint or can be tailored to determine underwriting risks set by your bank. Return to Top
Fair Lending Review
The Fair Lending review offers a fair lending assessment of your bank's lending function. This review is modeled after the fair lending examination procedures issued by the regulatory agencies. It includes, at a minimum, a loan policy review and comparison of questionnaires completed by your loan officers pertaining to their underwriting practices, and a comparative file analysis. Once completed, this review may be kept confidential from your regulatory agency if you comply with all the requirements of Regulation B, or may be shared at your discretion. Return to Top
Lending Department Analysis
The lending department analysis is a detailed study of your bank's lending department. It includes a detailed review of your bank's credit processes, a review of appraisal policy and practices, ALLL policy and documentation levels, collateral valuation and inspection techniques, utilization of the bank's MIS system, adequate staffing levels, sufficiency of workflows, responsibilities, etc. The assessment process includes a review of the institution's credit risk management processes and systems to identify, measure, control, monitor, and report credit risk as outlined by the supervisory guidelines. The study will be tailored to the needs of your bank and compared with institutions of similar size. The objective of the study is to maximize departmental efficiency while controlling costs.
