HUD Audit Checklist

This HUD audit checklist helps auditors evaluate FHA approved lenders for compliance with HUD requirements. It covers general audit requirements, financial statements prepared under GAAP, reporting under GAAS and GAGAS, internal control over financial reporting and program compliance, and the compliance report with tested areas. It outlines schedules of findings and questioned costs, corrective action planning, and guidance for electronic submission of audited financial statements and compliance data to HUD within required timelines. The checklist also addresses lender recertification, adjusted net worth, liquidity, loan origination and servicing, escrow accounts, eligible fees, kickbacks, and required quality control plans, providing a structured approach to consistent, efficient audits.
