The Internal Audit Insight: Fannie Mae MORA & Approval Process Requirements

Apr 4, 2024

Fannie Mae approved lenders and applicants are required to demonstrate their commitment to managing risk effectively. To ensure lenders are meeting these requirements, Fannie Mae performs Mortgage Origination Risk Assessments (MORA). During the MORA process, Fannie Mae examines the most recent risk assessment, including the internal audit plan and the latest independent internal audit over the quality control (QC) function. Meeting Fannie Mae’s internal audit requirements is crucial for sellers/servicers to maintain eligibility and to identify and resolve gaps in compliance quickly.
