Model-risk partner for credit scoring in a small-business desk using a new vendor score has to name Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control for this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file.

DECISION Model-risk partner for credit scoring in a small-business desk using a new vendor score must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint after an underwriter chat that used coded language.

Provenance on CRA assessment-area versus lending footprint after an underwriter chat that used coded language is broken; do not pick Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control yet.
