The Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators (AARMR) recently issued a press release on behalf of their member state regulator agencies. This press release encourages the mortgage industry to adopt and integrate the Lending Examination Format (LEF) data standard with mortgage loan origination software in order to provide a simplified data transfer process during electronic regulatory exams. By having cleanly mapped data, the quality of loan reviews and examination processes would be enhanced, according to the regulators. Moving forward, state regulators are planning to assist vendors that incorporate LEF data export abilities into their individual systems.
