Examples of subjects an underwriting guide may cover include identity theft procedures, denied applications, incomplete applications, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 36-month coverage, borrower claim history, borrower exposure, and so on. The goal is to make sure that the underwriter knows how to handle any situation that they may face in the underwriting business. These guides are very similar to ones for other professions that explain rules, best practices, and how to proceed in various circumstances.
