If an MLO suspects fraud, they have an obligation to report it to the company’s compliance officer or appropriate supervisor for investigation. Ignoring, failing to report, or handling it informally is not acceptable.
“If an MLO suspects fraud, the MLO must report it to their company's compliance officer or other responsible person as required by company policy and law.”
