AllRegs and The Prieston Group to Host Free Webinar: "Repurchase Risk and the Importance of MOSA®"

Feb. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Eagan, Minn. (February 8, 2012). AllRegs and The Prieston Group (TPG) will host a free one-hour webinar to demonstrate the power of the patented Mortgage Operational Safety Assessment®, or MOSA®¹ methodology. Industry experts Arthur Prieston, Chair of TPG, and Clifford V. Rossi, PhD will discuss how effectively an institution’s mortgage operations can be evaluated using the MOSA™ risk assessment methodology and process. MOSA® assigns a score between 0 and 800, with higher scores indicating lower risk. In a recent study reviewing 400,000 loans, higher MOSA® scores have been proven to be effective indicators in reducing overall mortgage repurchase risk².

"Lenders, community banks, warehouse banks and investors will all benefit from MOSA®," said Dan Thoms, executive vice president for AllRegs. "The MOSA® score gives you real insight into just how capable a mortgage lending institution’s operations are based on assessment results. Further, the accompanying report identifies ways to improve your company’s score."

"You can substantially lower your repurchase risk using the MOSA® methodology and products," says Arthur Prieston of the Prieston Group. "After attending this session, our guests will have a better understanding of the added due diligence MOSA delivers. It goes far beyond the current, conventional risk scoring methods."

AllRegs has become the exclusive distributor of MOSA® and its related products. The MOSA® process evaluates 11 different key aspects of mortgage operations and origination, including: Operational Controls, Company Background, Warehouse Lines, Geographic Mix, Product Mix, Repurchase History, Quality Control Plan, Operational Checklists, Broker Management, Correspondent Management and Appraiser Management.

To better understand how MOSA® can impact your business, join AllRegs and TPG for a free webinar on Thursday, February 23, 2012, 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM EST. Space is limited. Click here to register.
