Smart Loan Audit

A Second Set of Eyes. A Smarter Approach to Lending.

LSCI’s Smart Loan Audit provides an independent review of your lending decisions designed to identify risk, strengthen loan development, and uncover opportunities to make more well-supported loans.

Our Audit Team takes a holistic approach, evaluating the member’s overall financial picture rather than focusing on a single ratio, credit score, or lending factor. We aren’t looking for reasons to criticize a decision. Instead, we look for information that may have been missed, risk that could have been further developed, and mitigating factors or alternatives that may have helped a loan work.

A SMART LOAN AUDIT WILL:

  • Ensure loan decisions align with credit union policy
  • Validate proper documentation requirements within loan files
  • Evaluate the quality and consistency of underwriting
  • Identify opportunities for loan growth and cross-selling
  • Uncover recurring trends across branches, lenders, underwriters, and loan types
  • Identify training and development opportunities
  • Review risk factors associated with collections and charge-offs
  • Learn from past decisions to strengthen future lending

Customized to Your Credit Union

Every credit union is different, which is why our audits can be customized around the areas that matter most to your organization.

In addition to traditional loan audits, LSCI can provide focused reviews of:

Declined Loans | Auto & Recreational Lending | Unsecured Lending | Debt Consolidation | Collections | Charge-Offs

Collection and charge-off reviews can be especially valuable in identifying common trends and risk factors in loans that later experienced repayment challenges or losses.

The Audit Doesn’t End with the Report

The real value comes from putting the findings to work.

Following the audit, our team meets with your lenders and underwriters to review the results, discuss actual loan scenarios, answer questions, and provide practical guidance using your credit union’s own loans.

The goal is not simply to identify what happened. It is to help your team understand why it happened, what may have been done differently, and how that knowledge can strengthen future decisions.

Identify Risk Without Losing Sight of Opportunity

Our goal is to provide your credit union with an independent second set of eyes—helping you identify risk, uncover lending opportunities, strengthen member relationships, and continue developing confident, consistent lenders and underwriters.

PRICING

LSCI’s Smart Loan Audit is priced per loan, allowing credit unions of all sizes to participate. The scope and size of the audit can be customized to accommodate your credit union’s specific needs, priorities, and budget.
