Horizon Consulting Incorporated Honored as 2011 Helios Apollo Awards Finalist
March 4, 2011 – Horizon Consulting Incorporated announced that it has been named a finalist for the 2011 Helios Apollo Awards, the premier awards program for recognizing employers in the Washington metropolitan region that invest in employee development initiatives that make an impact. Horizon Consulting Incorporated is one of seven finalists in the Emerging Companies category.
"High volume workflow management" is a phrase Horizon coined to describe the more than 40,000 mortgage insurance applications it processes every month for HUD, the in-depth quality control underwriting reviews it conducts for 7,500 additional loans, and much more. Working in such high volume, where both accuracy and timeliness are critical, could potentially be a stressful, pressure-cooker environment that results in employee burnout and high staff turnover. Yet 30% of Horizon’s employees have been with the company for 10 years or more. Horizon believes this is a testimony to the way it values and treats its staff, and the way they interact with each other. Ultimately, employee retention results in better quality service to the clients.
Horizon Consulting Launches “Back to Basics” Initiative to Combat Mortgage Fraud and Reduce Risk
By Deconstructing Defaulted or Fraudulent Loans, Horizon’s Quality Control Specialists
Can Detect Root Causes of Fraud and Mitigate Risks in New Loan Originations
Lansdowne, VA – August 31, 2010 – Horizon Consulting, a leader in financial support outsourcing services, today announced a “Back to Basics” initiative to advance the cause of risk mitigation and fraud prevention in the mortgage loan industry through intensified quality control.
Statistics show that misrepresentation and fraud continue to escalate in the mortgage industry, despite (or, in part, because of) advances in technology. Automation of mortgage loan underwriting has, in one respect, created a false safety net for loan evaluation and approval. It is also easier than ever to forge documents.
