Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting it Right!
The FFIEC has released the 2019 edition of the “Guide to HMDA Reporting: Getting it Right!” which is available at https://www.ffiec.gov/hmda/. The new edition contains information regarding the amendments made to HMDA by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act and updated HMDA interpretive and procedural rules issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. 2019 is the year to Get it Right! Regulatory Solutions has developed proprietary HMDA scrub software and has the expertise to scrub your HMDA data on a monthly or quarterly basis. Our HMDA scrubs compare your HMDA LAR to source documents. An exception report is issued to enable you to make corrections and a summary of exceptions is provided to assist you in addressing any systemic issues.

HMDA FIG 2019 – New Values for Data Points
Now that you have filed your 2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, it is time to focus on 2019. The CFPB has issued the new Filing Instructions Guide (FIG) for submissions and data collection which can be found on the FFIEC website. The only major change to the new HMDA FIG 2019 is that it now includes the new values for the data points that were exempted under the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act that went into effect in May 2018. The HMDA FIG 2019 can be found here: https://ffiec.cfpb.gov/
While there are no substantial changes as to how you compile and submit your data, it is important to point out that 2019 is the first year that the CFPB will assess penalties under the revised HMDA regulation. If you struggled with compiling and scrubbing last year’s HMDA data, Regulatory Solutions is here to help. Using our proprietary HMDA scrub software, we compare your source documents in the loan file to the data points recorded on the HMDA LAR and provide you with an exception report detailing data points needing correction.
