About FASB and mortgage servicing valuation

FASB has issued numerous changes to the accounting for mortgage servicing.

 

Starting with FASB 140, FASB 156, and FASB 166. And now as part of the Accounting Standards Codification Process, these have been combined and classified as Topic 860 and Presentation section 865000 in the project.

 

There are various, complex rules for accounting for OMS/MSA's (loans sold with servicing rights retained).

 

There are also different methods of accounting for the income generated from mortgage servicing, some of which are clearly more advantageous to servicers.

 

These accounting treatments are mandatory, not optional.
