The ComplyBI Era Has Arrived

This past weekend marked an exciting milestone for RATA and our clients. With the latest RATA Hosted Services (RHS) release, the first wave of ComplyBI functionality is now available to all RHS clients. This isn't just another software update. It marks the beginning of a new era in compliance analytics. For decades, compliance professionals have relied on static reports, spreadsheets, and manual analysis to understand their data. ComplyBI changes that by transforming compliance information into dynamic, interactive intelligence that helps you identify trends, uncover risk, and gain deeper insight into your institution's compliance performance. Unlike generic business intelligence tools, ComplyBI is RATA's proprietary analytics platform, designed specifically for regulatory compliance.

The
initial release of the validity and quality edits for HMDA 2018 reporting have

edits in the current documentation which can be found here:
https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/hmda/static/for-filers/2018/2018-HMDA-FIG.pdf

Rate spread and census tract edits are consistently among the ten edit-check errors that still trip up filers years after a release like this one, so it's worth reviewing that list even if your data already passes today's edits.

The new fields to be added are for automated underwriting, expanded race and ethnicity as well as general loan and property data points. New Format The submission format for the 2016 data will be unchanged from the last few years. The 2017 submissions will contain the exact same data but they will be wanting to receive it in the new
