Detailed and Exhaustive
A detailed review of all vendor policies and procedures is followed by on-site key stakeholder interviews, physical security inspection, and account-level testing. Ultimately, you will be armed with a detailed report for all of your vendors.
Customizable
While Harvest’s audit program includes testing of controls related to standard collection rules and mirrors CFPB and regulatory audits, specific and unique contractual requirements between you and your vendors can be integrated.
On-Site or Remote
Harvest’s audit program can be performed on-site or entirely remote, depending on your needs. All remote review work is supported by encrypted SFTP for secure document transmission.
Findings Remediation
Harvest will quarterback the remediation process. All findings require evidence of remediation, which must be cleared for the audit to be formally closed. The final audit report is used in the next audit of the vendor, ensuring repeat findings are not occurring.
