REVIEW + NEXT STEP

Estimated time: 3–5 minutes

Before you review

Make sure you completed the Starter Practice Activity first.

SAMPLE ITEMS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED

Here are sample items that could be flagged from the Starter Practice Activity. Your answers may be different, and that’s okay.

DOB mismatch
What I noticed: Application shows 02/14/1994, but the ID sample shows 02/04/1994.
Why it may matter: DOB must match borrower identification and file records.
What I would ask the team to confirm: Please confirm the correct DOB and update the application if needed.

Address mismatch or incomplete address
What I noticed: Application shows 123 Main St, but the ID and bank statement show Apt 2.
Why it may matter: The full current address may need to match supporting documents.
What I would ask the team to confirm: Please confirm whether Apt 2 should be included in the current address.

Employer start date mismatch
What I noticed: Application shows 06/2024, but the paystub note shows 05/2024.
Why it may matter: Employment details should be consistent across the file.
What I would ask the team to confirm: Please confirm the correct start date.

⚠️ Other possible flags may include marital status blank, income mismatch, name format difference, or missing prior address. Your answer does not need to match exactly. The goal is to practice noticing possible issues and asking the team to confirm.
