October 18, 2023 – The IRS recently introduced new requirements that will reduce the threshold for mandatory e-filing of certain information returns and forms. This change will affect many organizations that have historically paper filed. In addition, the threshold will be an aggregate number of forms instead of being based on a specific form type. Filers should review the new regulations and how they might impact your organization.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

thank you for sharing this story, and it is a cautionary tale but does make me wonder if there is any recourse for appraiser’s that are falsely accused? there should be, the appraiser is clearly experiencing some PTSD, and lost a lot of time over the past year, not to mention money. Why? for what? so FNMA can meet some arbitrary quota? a counter suit seems appropriate, especially since the State regulator was ‘surprised’ Fannie kicked the file back to them.

In reply to Jacob Landfair on Facebook. Chase did the same thing to me in 2008 as well. It was a very stressful process, but I was able to see the review performed and talk to the people at Chase and went much smoother than what the OP went through. I fear these buybacks are going to come rolling over the appraisal industry over the next few years. One would speculate that they are pushing this action to further drive appraisers out and rely on AVMs and hybrid/desktop products.

It is truly evil how FNMA has decided to carry out these complaints to destroy peoples lives. I think most of the boards realize what’s going on and are dismissing these complaints but not all. Chase did a similar thing in 2008, more than half of all complaints were from them and the same is likely true of FNMA.
