We audited loanDepot.com to evaluate its quality control (QC) program for originating and underwriting Single Family Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured loans. We selected loanDepot for review based on its loan volume and delinquency rate and because its rate of self-reporting loans to HUD when it identified fraud, material misrepresentations, and other material findings that it could not mitigate was below average for more than a 5-year period. We found that loanDepot’s QC program for originating and underwriting FHA-insured loans was not sufficient.
