The CSBS and AARMR accreditation team seeks to strengthen state mortgage departments and to demonstrate the high quality of state banking departments to the general public, the federal banking agencies, Congress, and other state banking departments.
The accreditation process begins with the completion of an extensive self-evaluation questionnaire on all department operations: administration and finance, personnel, training, examination, supervision, and legislative powers. Next, an external review team comprised of veteran state and federal regulators performs an on-site review and presents its findings to an audit team and to the Performance Standards Committee, the members of which vote on the reports of the review team and the audit team.
To request more information about the Mortgage Accreditation Program please contact Matt Comber, CSBS Director of Accreditation at mcomber@csbs.org or (202) 296-5750.
