ACES Quality Management unveils ACES PROTECT® mortgage compliance testing module

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announces the addition of ACES PROTECT, a suite of automated regulatory compliance tests, to its flagship ACES Quality Management & Control® quality control (QC) auditing platform. ACES PROTECT enables lenders to reduce audit time and improve oversight by incorporating automatic compliance testing into their overall QC auditing environment.

"Given the nature of originations right now, calculation errors and other compliance missteps are even more costly," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "ACES PROTECT gives our clients an added layer of compliance protection that is seamless and cost-effective, enabling them to significantly increase audit productivity while still independently validating loan eligibility calculations."

Through ACES PROTECT, ACES users can easily access a suite of compliance checks within the ACES platform, including certification of loan estimate/closing disclosure calculations, high-cost mortgage and high-price mortgage loan testing, TRID fee tolerance, Qualified Mortgage (QM) tests and other critical compliance tests. ACES users can quickly and easily run compliance tests without leaving the system and automate tasks and exceptions for any alerts, significantly increasing audit productivity. ACES PROTECT provides complete visibility into its calculations via detailed loan-level reporting that clearly communicates a loan's compliance status. Users can select and pay for only the tests they need and automate tasks and exceptions for any alerts to control costs while increasing productivity and ensuring compliance.

"ACES PROTECT has allowed us to automate several of our manual fee compliance tests using a fully supported application, giving us greater efficiency, improved accuracy and better reporting," said Anthony DeAngelo, Director of Sourcing and Procurement for USAA's Managed Services department. "With ACES PROTECT, we're able to test using the parameters we set in ACES PROTECT and, if needed, change them on the fly. All of this gives us improved confidence when sharing our results with management, auditors and regulators."

Critical Defect Rate Reaches Report-High in Q3 2022, Per ACES Quality Management Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the third quarter (Q3) of 2022. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Notable findings from the Q3 2022 report include the following:

* The overall critical defect rate increased 20.5% over Q2 2022, ending the quarter at 2.47% - a report high.

* Of the four major underwriting categories (Assets, Credit, Income/Employment and Liabilities), three saw moderate to significant increases in Q2 2022. Income/Employment remained the leading category of defects reported, despite continuing its multi-quarter trend of decline.

* A sub-category analysis of the Assets and Income/Employment categories uncovered troubling defect trends related to eligibility.

* Appraisal defects declined once again, now reflecting a multi-quarter trend.

* Purchase share dominated in Q3 2022, as expected given market conditions, while review share for FHA, USDA and VA loans increased.

* In a reversal of last quarter's findings, FHA defect share saw a moderate increase in Q3 2022, along with a slight defect increase in conventional loans. USDA and VA loan defects improved significantly last quarter.

"The overarching theme for this quarter's report is the effect of sharp declines in loan volume and interest rate volatility on lenders' operations. With purchase originations down nearly 20% quarter-over-quarter and close to 50% year-over-year, lenders are fighting to keep every potential piece of business that comes their way and, perhaps, becoming more aggressive in their borrower qualifications," said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. "Riding the line on eligibility provides little margin for error. Thus, lenders must continue emphasizing loan quality to ensure salability and long-term asset performance."

Findings for the Q3 2022 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

"In our last report, we mentioned employment and loan documentation as areas of concern. As layoffs have continued since Q2 2022, we're seeing the ripple effects of interest rate volatility and changing market conditions surface in other areas of the loan manufacturing process, particularly in eligibility," said ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier. "With ACES, lenders can not only identify these immediate areas of concern but also view their QC findings within a historical context to pinpoint trends and execute immediate corrective actions to protect the integrity of their origination pipeline."

Mortgage QC Industry Trends Reports are available for download, free of charge, at https://www.acesquality.com/resources/reports.

ACES Quality Management Makes Ninth Appearance on HousingWire Tech100 List of Top Mortgage Tech Companies

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, has been selected for the ninth consecutive year by HousingWire magazine for its annual Tech100 awards program. The magazine chose ACES for the continual innovation of its flagship quality control (QC) auditing platform ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

"2022 was a highly volatile year for mortgage lenders. While loan quality is always a moving target, last year's challenges certainly underscored the need to maintain quality and mitigate risk," ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "At ACES, we're committed to making this target obtainable and seamless by delivering QC tools to help lenders maintain the integrity of their origination and servicing portfolios. Even with lenders tightening their budgets in the face of rapidly declining loan volumes, we still increased our client base by 22%, which speaks to the importance lenders place on loan quality."

In 2022, ACES launched a new compliance-driven oversight process via a role-based permission system within ACES CONNECT. The module allows users to self-remediate audit findings, access reporting and trending data, review audit documents and manage corrective action plans in coordination with their organization's risk department. The company also released a new servicing-focused multi-answer managed questionnaire and added and reviewed over 950 articles along with close to 200 calendar items to its free Compliance NewsHub, in addition to producing its quarterly Mortgage QC Industry Trends report.

2022 also saw the successful launch of ACES' inaugural ACES ENGAGE event for mortgage/financial services risk management and QC professionals. During the event, the company announced its new Certified ACES Administrator (CAA) program to enhance users' knowledge base and offer official accreditation for system administrators. ACES ENGAGE will take place again this year at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colo., on May 17-19, 2023.

"As someone who had a front-row seat to watch the housing economy's tech transformation, I am increasingly in awe of the innovation we have seen from the Tech100 winners year after year," HW Media Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. "With new technologies emerging every day, I am proud to be part of this exciting journey that has positioned the industry to be more efficient, more transparent and more accessible than ever before."

HousingWire's TECH100 award seeks to highlight the most innovative technology companies across the housing sector. To view the complete list of winners, visit https://www.housingwire.com/articles/announcing-the-2023-tech100-mortgage-winners/.

Kiosk Industry Self Service News for February 2023

​DENVER, Colo. -- It's President's Day. And the Kiosk Manufacturer Association news centers around dispensing machines/kiosks and in particular legal cannabis and naloxone. Terrapin just deployed some extraordinary robotics for "bagging" and delivering marijuana here in Colorado. See the intro video in the post. Facial recognition, 1100 products, big touchscreen and the users get to watch thru a glass panel. We have a nice video demonstrating that.

In the naloxone news: last year (and year before) there were zero dollars budgeted by state, local and federal agencies for kiosks that dispense naloxone and also fentanyl detection strips. So far in 2023? Almost $500M.

Featured Sponsor this month is Panasonic. We published a case study on Wendy's recent POS upgrade. Along with that we also included drive-thru headsets, drive-thru whitepaper and menu boards. Of note in the Shake Shack news the big phrase over and over is "drive thru." We see where Wendy's teamed up with Doordash & Roku to let users order from their TV [link to story]. We need to get an update on the facial ordering that Wendy's Japan deployed.

ACES Quality Management expands client base by 22% in 2022

DENVER, Colo. -- ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the company had record growth increasing its client base by 22% amidst significant market volatility. The company also made numerous updates to its ACES Quality Management & Control® software and its free Compliance NewsHub resource, in addition to launching its inaugural ACES ENGAGE conference.

"2022 was an extremely challenging year for mortgage and financial services professionals, and with the decline in mortgage originations and other pressing economic factors, it was encouraging to see lenders and financial institutions continuing to invest in loan quality and risk mitigation," ACES CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "Given that the challenges we faced in 2022 are expected to extend into 2023, protecting the integrity and liquidity of the assets mortgage lenders and financial institutions are able to produce in today's market is more critical than ever. At ACES, we strive to support mortgage origination, consumer lending, loan servicing and wealth management and more through our robust quality management and control platform and serve as a resource so that all lenders - not just our clients - can keep loan quality and compliance at the forefront of their operations."

ACES launched a new compliance-driven oversight process for ACES CONNECT users via a role-based permission system. Launched last year, ACES CONNECT provides users with the ability to self-remediate audit findings, access reporting and trending data, review audit documents and manage corrective action plans in coordination with their organization's risk department. In addition, ACES CONNECT allows users to have access to the ACES quality control (QC) reporting to provide easy-to-view analytics for senior management along with any designated third parties. ACES was also among the first to update its reporting library within ACES Quality Management & Control software to align with Fannie Mae's reporting recommendations.

In May 2022, ACES ENGAGE brought the nation's top financial services quality management professionals together to discuss industry trends and best practices. ACES ENGAGE will take place again this May in Colorado Springs.

The organization also continued to make efforts to give back through ACES CARES. Established in 2018, ACES CARES encourages employees to make a positive difference in the community through volunteering, outreach and financial contributions to charities and causes close to their hearts. In 2022, the ACES team donated over 1,181 hours of paid and unpaid volunteer hours. Since the program's inception, ACES Quality Management and its staff have donated a total of $33,750 to 58 organizations. ACES CARES offers a dollar-for-dollar match of employee donations to U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) charitable organizations of their choice, the program also supports employees' wellness and community involvement programs.
