Audit of Federal Housing Administration’s Financial Statements for Fiscal
Years 2014 and 2013
Highlights
What We Audited and Why
The Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576), as amended, requires the Office
of Inspector General (OIG) or an independent auditor, as determined by the OIG to annually
audit the financial statements of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). We contracted with
the independent certified public accounting firm of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP to audit FHA’s
fiscal year 2013 principal financial statements. CliftonLarsonAllen LLP was responsible for its
audit reports and the conclusions expressed on those reports. OIG audited FHA’s fiscal year
2014 principal financial statements, which are comprised of the balance sheets and the related
statements of net cost and changes in net position and the combined statements of budgetary
resources for the year then ended. We conducted these audits in accordance with generally
accepted government auditing standards.
The following is our report on the results of our audits of FHA’s principal financial statements
for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2014 and 2013. Also provided are assessments of
FHA’s internal controls and our findings with respect to FHA’s compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. In addition, we plan to issue a letter to management describing other issues of
concern that came to our attention during the audit.
What We Found
In our opinion, FHA’s fiscal year 2014 and 2013 financial statements were presented fairly, in all
material respects, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for the Federal
government. Our opinion is reported in FHA’s Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Management Report.
Our audit disclosed one material weakness, two significant deficiencies in internal controls, and
one instance of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations.
What We Recommend
Recommendations are after each finding. One open recommendation from a prior year audit is
in the Follow-up on Prior Audits section of this report. We identified the lack of policies and
procedures to accrue $722.2 million in accounts receivables and $217.5 million in liabilities and
a reclassification on the balance sheet in the net amount of $703.2 million.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
Independent Auditor’s Report
Commissioner
Federal Housing Administration
In our audits of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 financial statements of the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA), a component of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), we found
The financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
One material weakness in internal control over financial reporting;
Two significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting; and
One instance of reportable noncompliance with certain provisions of laws and regulations
tested.
The following sections and appendixes discuss in more detail: (1) our conclusions, including a
matter of emphasis related to the potential range of estimate for the Single Family liability for loan
guarantee and changing of the accounting method for sweeping FHA’s receipt account, (2)
management’s discussion and analysis, other required supplementary information, and additional
information included with the financial statements, (3) management’s responsibilities, (4) our
responsibilities, (5) the current status of prior-year findings, (6)schedule of questioned costs and
funds to be put to better use, and (7) management’s response to findings.
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of FHA, which comprise the balance sheets
as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of net cost and changes in net
position, the combined statements of budgetary resources for the years then ended, and the related
notes to the financial statements. The independent certified public accounting firm of
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, under contract with OIG, audited FHA’s fiscal year 2013 principal
financial statements. CliftonLarsonAllen LLP was responsible for its audit report and the
conclusions expressed on that report. OIG audited FHA’s fiscal year 2014 principal financial
statements.
Management’s Responsibilities
FHA management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally accounting principles (GAAP). This includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
3
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Management is also responsible for (1) evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, (2) providing a statement of assurance on the overall effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, including providing reasonable assurance that the broad control objectives of
Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act are met, and (3) ensuring compliance with other
applicable laws and regulations.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
and the previous auditor conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. These standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement. We also conducted our audits in accordance with Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Bulletin No. 14-02, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial
Statements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to FHA’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are also responsible for (1) obtaining a sufficient understanding of internal control over financial
reporting to assess the risk of material misstatements and to design the nature, timing and extent of
audit procedures, (2) testing compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations that have a
direct and material effect on the financial statements and applicable laws for which OMB Bulletin
14-02 requires testing, and (3) applying certain limited procedures with respect to the required
supplementary information and all other accompanying information included with the financial
statements.
We did not evaluate all internal controls relevant to operating objectives as broadly established by
the Federal Managers’ Financial Integrity Act, such as those controls relevant to preparing statistical
reports and ensuring efficient operations. We limited our internal control testing to testing controls
over financial reporting. Because of inherent limitations in internal control, misstatements due to
error or fraud, losses, or noncompliance may still occur and not be detected. We also caution that
projecting our audit results to future periods is subject to risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with controls may deteriorate. In
addition, we caution that our internal control testing may not be sufficient for other purposes.
4
We did not test compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to FHA. We limited our tests of
compliance to certain provisions of laws and regulations that have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements and those required by OMB Bulletin 14-02 that we deemed applicable to
FHA’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. We caution that
noncompliance with laws and regulations may occur and not be detected by these tests and that such
testing may not be sufficient for other purposes.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Federal Housing Administration as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and
its net costs, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the years then ended, in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the financial statements, the loan guarantee liability is an
actuarially determined estimate of the net present value of future claims, future premiums and future
recoveries, from loans insured as of the end of the fiscal year. This estimate is developed using
econometric models that integrate historical loan-level program and economic data with regional
house price appreciation forecasts to develop assumptions about future portfolio performance. This
year’s estimate is the mean value from a series of projections using many economic scenarios and
FHA’s Single Family liability for loan guarantee estimates reported as of September 30, 2014 could
change depending on which economic outcome ultimately prevails. This forecast method helps
project how the estimate will be affected by different economic scenarios but does not address the
risk that the models may not accurately reflect current borrower behavior or contain technical errors.
Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, FHA has elected to change its method of
accounting for sweeping its receipt accounts and changed the timing from October 1 to September
30 in fiscal year 2014. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
U.S GAAP requires that FHA’s management’s discussion and analysis and other required
supplementary information be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Federal Accounting Standards
Advisory Board, which considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the management discussion and analysis and other required
supplementary information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing
standards. These procedures consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing
5
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on this information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Other Information
The Message from the Commissioner and the Schedule of Spending are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements or required supplementary
information. This information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance
on it.
Prior Period Financial Statements Audited by a Predecessor Auditor
FHA’s financial statements as of September 30, 2013, were audited by other auditors whose
report, dated December 9, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The
audit report on those statements also included an emphasis of matter paragraph, which described
the actuarially determined estimate for the loan guarantee liability.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance Based on an
Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing
Standards
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered FHA’s internal
control over financial reporting to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of FHA’s internal control. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of FHA’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of FHA’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected in a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Therefore, material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified three deficiencies in internal control,
6
which are described below. We considered one to be a material weakness and two to be significant
deficiencies.
FHA Did Not Establish Appropriate Receivables for Legal Settlements and Partial Claims Notes
FHA did not record an accrual in its accounts receivables from settled legal claims. Instead, it
accounted for the settlement funds collected on a cash basis. GAAP requires receivables which
represent claims for cash from settled legal claims to be recognized at the point of legal settlement
rather than when the cash was received. FHA had not established or implemented formal policies
and procedures to identify, accrue, record, and report amounts due as a result of the legal settlement
agreements. FHA received and reported a total of $466.4 million in collections for fiscal year 2014.
An additional $722.2 million was anticipated because of four settlement agreements reached during
fiscal year 2014 and a remaining amount due from a 2012 settlement. However, the cash had not
been collected by FHA as of September 30, 2014.
FHA could not provide the promissory notes to support $1.5 billion (gross) of the net loans
receivable balance outstanding reported in its balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. The $1.5
billion represented 57,164 partial claims (subordinated liens) for which payments were made by
FHA to mortgagees on delinquent loans as part of FHA’s loss mitigation efforts to bring these
delinquent loans current. An increase in the number of partial claims filed, a backlog of
unprocessed documents received by the contractor, and the discrepancies between FHA’s policy
and the regulations resulted in an increased number of partial claims for which FHA was unable to
provide documentation and for which it did not demand reimbursement from delinquent
mortgagees. As of September 30, 2014, adjustments were needed to recognize $722.2 million in
uncollected legal settlements and reclassify $703.2 million from loans receivables to accounts
receivables.
Liabilities Were Not Recognized for Unearned Premium Collections or Unpaid Supplemental
Claims
Prior to endorsing and providing insurance of Single Family forward loans, FHA recognized the
premiums collected prior to loan endorsement as earned, and not as deferred revenue. Recognition
of revenue at this point is a departure from GAAP. OIG estimated that FHA did not properly defer
$175.6 million of collected premiums as unearned as of September 30, 2014. This condition
occurred because FHA’s policy is to recognize the cash collection as an inflow in the Single-Family
Liability for Loan Guarantee (LLG) when received. The inclusion of premium collections in the
LLG balance for loans closed but not endorsed causes the balance to be overstated and the annual
re-estimate expense to be understated. As a result, FHA made adjustments to recognize $174.4
million in other deferred revenue for premium collections on unendorsed loans as of September 30,
2014.
In addition, FHA did not have a process to accrue the estimated liability for unpaid Single Family
suspended supplemental claims filed. FHA assumed the liability for supplemental claims was
accounted for under the LLG. Under that assumption, FHA’s accrual process excluded an accrual
for unpaid supplemental claims filed but not processed or approved and understated the liability.
We estimated that FHA’s reported liability in its balance sheet may have been understated by at
least $41.9 million at fiscal year-end because of the lack of accruals for suspended supplemental
7
claims. FHA agreed and recorded an accrual of $56.8 million to reflect the suspended supplemental
claims liability as of September 30, 2014.
Weaknesses Identified in Selected FHA Information Technology Systems
The Single Family Housing Enterprise Data Warehouse contains critical single family business data
from several data sources, mostly from FHA single family automated systems. We found that (1)
access to some of the sensitive personally identifiable information in the data warehouse was not
sufficiently limited to individuals as necessary to perform their duties, (2) reconciliations of data
from some of the source systems that interface with the data warehouse were not sufficiently
performed, (3) passwords for the data warehouse user accounts were also not changed to the
frequency specified by HUD policy, and (4) web server software was not kept up to date.
The FHA subsidiary ledger (subsidiary ledger) is FHA’s official system of record for financial
transactions. We found that some of the controls over the subsidiary ledger user accounts were
inadequate. Specifically, (1) inactive user accounts and temporary accounts were not always
deactivated and removed in a timely manner, (2) HUD’s standardized user IDs were not always
assigned to STAT1 users, and (3) one user was inappropriately granted access to the system
administration account. Not all subsidiary ledger audit tables with the audit configuration features
turned on were included in the subsidiary ledger audit plan. Also, audit data in these tables were not
reviewed and analyzed by FHA officials for unusual user access activities. FHA had not developed
a memorandum of agreement/understanding and interconnection security agreement for the
external interfaces between the subsidiary ledger and U.S. Department of Treasury systems. FHA
officials did not fully implement adequate controls over information within the subsidiary ledger
test environment. User IDs and passwords for the test environment with subsidiary ledger
production data were not encrypted. The implementation status of some security controls was not
accurately reflected in the subsidiary ledger system security documents. In addition, certain
configuration management controls over the subsidiary ledger were inadequately documented.
Report on Compliance
To obtain reasonable assurance that FHA's financial statements are free from material misstatement,
we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws and regulations,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial
statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not
an objective of our audits, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our
tests disclosed one instance of noncompliance, described below, which is required to be reported in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States.
Capital ratio: For the sixth consecutive year, the FHA fund has failed to meet its
legislatively mandated capital ratio requirement. The Cranston-Gonzales National
Affordable Housing Act of 1990 required that FHA’s Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund
1
STAT – is a PeopleSoft account that is used for performing release migrations from one PeopleSoft environment to
another using the Quest STAT configuration management tool.
8
maintain a minimum capital ratio of 2 percent. The capital ratio is defined as the ratio of
capital to unamortized insurance-in-force. The Act requires FHA to conduct an annual
independent actuarial study to, among other things, calculate this ratio. The Housing and
Economic Recovery Act of 2008 requires that the HUD Secretary submit a report
annually to the Congress describing the results of the study, assess the financial status of
the MMI fund, recommend program adjustments, and evaluate the quality control
procedures and accuracy of information used in the process of underwriting loans
guaranteed by the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund. As of the date of our audit, this
report for fiscal year 2014 had not yet been submitted to Congress, but preliminary FHA
data indicated that this ratio remained below the required 2 percent throughout fiscal year
2014.
This report is intended for the information and use of the management of FHA, OMB, the U.S.
Government Accountability Office, and Congress and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, this report is a matter of public
record, and its distribution is not limited. The purpose of the Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and the Report on Compliance sections of this report was solely to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of FHA’s internal control or compliance. These
reports are an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering FHA’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, these reports are
not suitable for any other purpose. In addition to a separate report detailing the internal control
and compliance issues included in this report and providing specific recommendations to FHA
management, we noted other matters involving internal control over financial reporting and
FHA’s operation that we are reporting to FHA management in a separate management letter.

Material Weakness
Finding 1: FHA Did Not Establish Appropriate Receivables for
Legal Settlements and Partial Claims Notes
FHA was awarded seven2 cash settlements totaling $1.2 billion and collected $466.4 million of
those settlements, in fiscal year 2014. Additionally, during fiscal year 2014, as part of its loss
mitigation efforts to bring delinquent loans current, FHA paid $4.4 billion to mortgagees for
partial claims; however, FHA did not receive promissory notes from the mortgagee for $1.5
billion of the claim payments. Mortgagees were required to provide FHA with promissory notes
for the payments made or return the claim payment back to FHA. Due to the non-routine nature
of legal settlements for FHA and the contractor’s backlog for recording promissory notes for
partial claim payments, FHA did not properly recognize their receivables. As a result, as of
September 30, 2014, adjustments were needed to (1) recognize FHA’s anticipated collections of
$722.2 million in settlement fees and (2) reclassify $703.2 million in net loans receivables
related to partial claims paid without the corresponding promissory notes.
Accounts Receivables Were Not Accrued for Settlement Agreements
FHA did not record an accrual in its accounts receivables for settled legal claims. Instead, FHA
accounted for the settlement funds collected on a cash basis. GAAP requires receivables which
represent claims for cash from settled legal claims to be recognized at the point of legal
settlement rather than when cash was received. Federal financial accounting standards require
that a receivable should be recognized when a Federal entity establishes a claim to cash or other
assets against other entities, either based on legal provisions, such as a payment due date, such
as, taxes not received by the date they are due, or goods or services provided. If the exact
amount is unknown, a reasonable estimate should be made.
In March 2012, FHA began receiving cash through the National Servicing Settlement Agreement
from lenders, including the nation’s five largest loan servicers, as a result of increased
monitoring and enforcement actions. In fiscal year 2012, FHA reported over $1.1 billion in
collections related to the settlement agreements. One of the settlements reached in FHA’s favor
in fiscal year 2012 was for $490.9 million. However, FHA only collected $485.4 million, and
the remaining $5.5 million had not been collected or recorded as an account receivable as of
September 30, 2014. No collections were reported for fiscal year 2013. FHA received and
reported a total of $466.4 million in collections for fiscal year 2014. An additional $716.7
million is anticipated from four settlement agreements reached during fiscal year 2014, for which
the cash had not been collected by FHA as of September 30, 2014.
As FHA was not always the only party named and awarded in the settlement agreements, some
of the settlements do not contain FHA’s portion of the total settlement amount. This resulted in
2
A subsequent event was noted for the seventh settlement, which was reached on September 30, 2014, in the
amount of $291 million.
10
FHA not having a reasonable estimate to accrue. Additionally, FHA's accounting division often
did not know of the settlement until just before the collection of the cash. Moreover, as a non-
routine transaction, FHA may not have considered accruing the receivables from settled legal
claims at the point of legal settlement because legal settlements are uncommon for a credit
reform program. Therefore, the policy in place was to record the collection of the cash.
FHA had not established formal policies and procedures to identify, accrue, record, and report
amounts due as a result of the legal settlement agreements. Consequently, when legal cases are
settled and approved by the court near or at the end of the current fiscal year, FHA will not
recognize the asset until the next fiscal year, when the cash is received. As a result, FHA’s
accounts receivable balances may be understated and the asset may be recognized in an incorrect
accounting period.
Single Family Loans Receivable Balances Were Not Supported With Second Mortgage
Notes
FHA could not provide the promissory notes to support $1.5 billion (gross) of the net loans
receivable balance outstanding reported in its Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014.3 The
$1.5 billion represented 57,164 partial claims (subordinated liens) for which payments were
made by FHA to mortgagees on delinquent loans as part of FHA’s loss mitigation efforts to bring
these delinquent loans current. An increase in the number of partial claims filed, a backlog of
unprocessed documents received by the contractor, and the discrepancies between FHA’s policy
and the regulations resulted in an increased number of partial claims for which FHA was unable
to provide documentation and for which they did not demand reimbursement from delinquent
mortgagees.
The borrower eligible for the partial claim loss mitigation option was required to sign a second
promissory note and a second mortgage or deed of trust with HUD as the beneficiary, reflecting
the partial claim terms. The partial claim promissory note contained the borrower’s promise to
repay the amount borrowed and established the existence of the loans receivable recorded by
FHA. The current regulations for partial claims require that the “original credit instrument”
(promissory note) be provided by the lender to HUD no later than 60 days after execution. On a
monthly basis, the contractor maintaining the Single-Family Mortgage Asset Recovery
Technology (SMART) system generates the Missing Documents’ Report (MDR) and sends it to
FHA staff at the National Servicing Center in Oklahoma. The MDR identifies partial claims for
which the promissory note or mortgage have not been provided by the mortgagee to HUD and
for which payment for the partial claim has been made by FHA to the mortgagee.
We reviewed the MDR for September 2014 and determined that 94,179 partial claims were
included in the report with a total claim amount of $2.4 billion. Of the 94,179 partial claims, we
identified 48,181 partial claims with claim amounts of $1.3 billion and 8,983 partial claims with
claim amounts of $216.2 million were missing the promissory note more than 60 days after the

11
loan claims origination date as of September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively,
totaling 57,164 loans and $1.5 billion in claims. 4
FHA experienced an increase in partial claims filed in fiscal years 2013 and 2014. FHA’s
contractor responsible for processing and documenting the receipt of the partial claim promissory
notes and mortgages did not have the capacity to keep up with the increase. This resulted in a
backlog of unopened, unprocessed documents. Because of the backlog, the MDR did not
accurately reflect all documents received because not all of the documents had been entered into
SMART by the contractor.
Another contributing factor was the difference between FHA’s current policy regarding partial
claims and the regulatory requirements. Although the regulations require that the promissory
note be provided to HUD no later than 60 days after execution, and that the second mortgage be
provided to HUD no later than six months following the date of execution, FHA’s policy allowed
mortgagees to deliver both the second note and second mortgage to HUD’s loan servicing
contractor no later than six (6) months from the execution date of the partial claim note and
security instrument.5 The regulations also require the mortgagee to reimburse the amount of the
claim paid, including the incentive, if the original of the note and security instrument are not
provided within the prescribed deadlines. However, prior to July 30, 2013, the effective date of
Mortgagee Letter 2013-19, Partial Claim Documentation and Delivery Requirements, which
established FHA’s current policy of issuing demand letters for the full reimbursement of all
amounts associated with overdue partial claim documents, FHA only enforced reimbursement of
the incentive fee. Following the effective date of Mortgagee Letter 2013-19, FHA made a
determination to cease follow-up procedures and only issue demand letters after the backlog of
partial claims had been properly inventoried and updated in SMART.
According to FHA staff, a new loan servicing contract was awarded in July 2014. The new loan
servicing contractor would be responsible for working through the backlog, updating SMART,
and sending the demand letters for both the claim and incentive fees paid starting in October
2014.
Conclusion
FHA has recognized the need to implement a policy to determine the total amount of settlement
funds due to FHA and to ensure all settlement agreement funds due to FHA are collected in full.
In addition, FHA has contracted with a new loan servicing contractor to accurately record the
status of the promissory notes and second mortgages in SMART for partial claims and to
demand reimbursement from delinquent mortgagees for partial claims and incentive fees
previously paid. The court settlements and demand letters establish a legally enforceable claim
to cash which should be recorded by FHA as an account receivable in accordance with GAAP.
4
OIG used the loan claims origination date because the execution date has to be obtained from the promissory note,
which was unavailable. The Partial Claim Documentation and Delivery Requirements state that mortgagees file the
claims after the execution of the promissory note and mortgage. Therefore, the loan claims origination date should
be subsequent to the execution date.
5
Mortgagee Letter 2000-05: Loss Mitigation Program – Comprehensive Clarification of Policy and Notice of
Procedural Changes, effective January 19, 2000, established the six-month document delivery policy.
12
As of September 30, 2014, adjustments were needed to recognize $722.2 million in uncollected
legal settlements and reclassify $703.2 million from loans receivables to accounts receivables.
Recommendations
We recommend that the FHA Office of the Comptroller
1A. Establish and implement policies and procedures to (a) determine the total amount
of settlement funds due to FHA, based upon the settlement agreements or
addendums (b) ensure all settlement agreement funds due to FHA are collected in
full, and (c) record and account for non-routine transactions related to the accrual
of settlement funds in accordance with GAAP and credit reform accounting.
1B. Follow-up on the collection of the $5.5 million from the fiscal year 2012
settlement agreement and determine whether an accrual for the funds due is
necessary.
1C. Determine the loans receivable with missing notes that are over 60 days old at the
end of fiscal year 2013 and 2014 and reclassify that balance to an appropriate
receivable account at the end of their respective fiscal years.
We recommend that the Director of Single Family Asset Management

1E. Align its current policy on partial claim document delivery with FHA’s regulatory
requirements.
1F. Initiate the billing process for the claims paid, plus incentive, where the lender has
not provided the original of the note and security instrument within the prescribed
deadlines for the $1.5 billion.

Significant Deficiencies
Finding 2: Liabilities Were Not Recognized for Unearned Premium
Collections or Unpaid Supplemental Claims
Prior to endorsing and providing insurance of Single Family forward loans, FHA recognized the
premiums collected prior to loan endorsement as earned, and not as deferred revenue.
Recognition of revenue at this point is a departure from GAAP. This condition occurred because
FHA’s policy is to recognize the cash collection as an inflow in the Single-Family Liability for
Loan Guarantee (LLG) when received. The inclusion of premium collections in the LLG
balance for loans closed but not endorsed causes the balance to be overstated and the annual re-
estimate expense to be understated.
In addition, FHA did not have a process to accrue the estimated liability for unpaid Single
Family suspended supplemental claims filed. FHA assumed the liability for supplemental claims
was accounted for under the LLG. Under that assumption, FHA’s accrual process excluded an
accrual for unpaid supplemental claims filed but not processed or approved and understated the
liability.
Improper Recognition of Premiums Collected Prior to Insurance Coverage
OIG estimated that FHA did not properly defer $175.6 million of collected premiums as
unearned as of September 30, 2014. FHA recognizes a loan guarantee commitment6 and provides
insurance coverage upon its endorsement of the loan and not upon disbursement of the loan.
According to the regulations,7 the mortgage is insured from the date of issuance of a Mortgage
Insurance Certificate, from the date of endorsement of the credit instrument, or from the date of
HUD’s acknowledgement to the mortgagee that the mortgage is insured. A Mortgage Insurance
Certificate is issued upon successful processing of the insurance application and subsequent
endorsement.
One-time or up-front mortgage insurance premiums are required within ten calendar days after
the date of loan closing or the date of disbursement of the mortgage proceeds as a condition of
endorsement. Periodic mortgage insurance premiums are required beginning in the month the
mortgagor is required to make the first monthly mortgage payment. The periodic mortgage
insurance premium is billed and collected on a monthly basis whether a loan is endorsed or not.
Federal GAAP require that premium collections for loan guarantee liabilities subject to the
Federal Credit Reform Act (FCRA) be recognized as a cash inflow to the LLG when the loan is
disbursed. It is assumed that the disbursement takes place after the loan guarantee commitment
6
Loan guarantee commitment means a binding agreement by a Federal agency to make a loan
guarantee when specified conditions are fulfilled by the borrower, the lender, or any other party to the
guarantee agreement.

Code of Federal Regulations: Title 24: Housing and Urban Development PART 203—Single Family Mortgage
Insurance Subpart B—Contract Rights and Obligations §203.257 Creation of the contract
14
is made. For non-credit reform programs, insurance premium fees are exchanged for insurance
coverage and are recognized as revenue when they are realized or earned, or when the insurance
coverage is provided. However, for Single Family Forward loan guarantees subject to FCRA,
FHA recognized premium collections as a cash inflow to the LLG prior to endorsement, prior to
its guarantee of insurance coverage, and prior to earning the collections. The premium fees
collected prior to the insurance coverage were unearned, and FHA should have recorded the
collections for the unendorsed loans as deferred revenue until the loan was endorsed.
When premiums are initially collected, FHA, through an automated process, records the cash
collection as an inflow to the LLG in the current cohort8 year. Once the case is endorsed, the
initial transaction is reversed and the premiums are then recorded in the cohort year in which the
case was endorsed. In most instances, the premiums are received and the loan is endorsed in the
same cohort year. However, due to process timing, many of the loans associated with premiums
received during September are not endorsed until the following fiscal year. Premiums collected
during September for unendorsed cases included in the current cohort year causes the re-estimate
expense to be understated since cash will include premiums for cases not included as part of the
LLG. In the following cohort year, when the cases are endorsed and included in the LLG, the re-
estimate expense is overstated because it also includes the cash collected during September.
Using a data extract of Single Family Forward loans from the Single Family Enterprise Data
Warehouse as of May 28, 2014, we calculated an average of 28 days between the closing date
and the endorsement date for loans that were endorsed as of May 28, 2014. We also calculated
the average monthly premium collection for FHA using data extracts of the upfront premiums
collected during fiscal year 2014. Based on our review, we determined that an average of $175.6
million in upfront premiums per month was collected by FHA in fiscal year 2014. However, at
or close to fiscal year end, the monthly premiums collected are not earned until the following
fiscal year when the associated loans are endorsed.
FHA’s Claims Payable Accrual Process was Incomplete
FHA’s claims payable only included claims approved but not paid as of the end of the fiscal year
and potential claims for single family properties sold for which no claim request had been filed.
Prior to 2005, FHA accrued accounts payable for supplemental claims using the average
supplemental claim amount paid. The General Ledger Division stopped accruing any accounts
payable amount for suspended supplemental claims in 2005 because the assumption was that the
amount of the supplemental claims was accounted for under the Loan Guarantee Liability
balance. However, for supplemental claims associated with conveyance or Accelerated Claims
Disposition claims, once the note or property is sold, any further claim payments are not
accounted for either in the Loan Guarantee Liability balance or the Allowance for Subsidy.
GAAP requires recognition of liability when the future outflow of resources is both probable and
measurable.
FHA relies on a contractor to review supplemental claim requests and prepare them for approval.
According to FHA staff, the funding for the contract has been insufficient to allow FHA to keep
8
Cohort year refers to the fiscal year of obligation for direct loan obligations, or loan guarantee commitments of a
program.
15
up with the increasing volume of supplemental claims. The insufficient funding has led to a
backlog in processing the supplemental claims for approval.
Once the supplemental claims have been imaged and uploaded to the claims system, a contractor
manually reviews each claim for payment. The contractor reviews the documentation from the
original claim paid to ensure that the request for the supplemental claim payment was not already
paid with the original claim payment. Once the contractor completes its review, the results of the
review are forwarded to FHA staff, with a recommendation for payment or denial of the claim.
HUD’s Government Technical Monitor performs a final review of a sample of such claims to
ensure the recommendations are valid.
Based upon the Single Family Claims Monthly Average report for September 2014, OIG noted
that during fiscal year 2014, 34,410 supplemental claims were paid in the amount of $32.6
million. Based on the Suspended Cases Summary report as of September 30, 2014, and other
information provided by FHA staff, we determined the number of suspended Single Family
supplemental claims that would be subject to accrual. Of the 60,133 cases included in the report,
we determined that 54,372 of the cases were for supplemental claims; an additional 5,073
supplemental claims had been received but not imaged. The total number of supplemental
claims filed during fiscal year 2014 was 52,110. The remaining 7,335 were carried over from a
backlog in prior years. Due to the impact of the backlog, which is approximately 1.7 times the
amount of claims paid during the fiscal year, we determined that the recognition of estimated
liability for the unpaid supplemental claims would be appropriate. Using the Single Family
Claims Monthly Average report for September 2014 provided by FHA staff, we identified an
average claim amount per supplemental claim of $947.41 and an estimated liability for the
supplemental claims of at least $41.9 million as of September 2014.
Conclusion
FHA’s current policy is to recognize all premiums as cash inflows to the LLG when they are
received. If the loan is not endorsed until the following fiscal year, the inclusion of the
premiums in the LLG causes the re-estimate expense to be understated. Since FHA does not
endorse the loans when the loans are disbursed, it should record all premiums received as
deferred revenue until the loans are endorsed. Accordingly, FHA should recognize $175.6
million in other deferred revenue for premium collections on unendorsed loans as of September
30, 2014.
Due to the lack of accruals for suspended supplemental claims, we estimated that FHA’s
reported liability in its balance sheet may be understated by at least $41.9 million at fiscal year-
end. FHA agreed that an accrual to reflect the suspended supplemental claims liability at year-
end was necessary and recorded an accrual in the amount of $56.8 million.
Recommendations
We recommend that the FHA Comptroller
2A. Develop and implement a methodology to defer the recognition of all premium
collections prior to endorsement from the Liability for Loan Guarantee.
16
2B. Develop and implement a methodology for estimating the appropriate amount of
liability to accrue from suspended supplemental claims.
2C. Record an adjusting entry to report the appropriate amount of suspended
supplemental claims liability to accrue at year-end based on the methodology
developed in recommendation number 2B.

Finding 3: Weaknesses Identified in Selected FHA Information
Technology Systems
We reviewed the general and application controls over the FHA Single Family Housing
Enterprise Data Warehouse and the FHA subsidiary ledger system as part of the internal control
assessments of FHA’s principal financial statements for fiscal year 2014. We found weaknesses
in the data warehouse and the FHA subsidiary ledger information systems. These conditions
occurred because some application controls were not sufficient. As a result, the appropriate
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information may be negatively impacted.
The information used to provide input to the FHA financial statements could be adversely
affected.
Information System Control Weaknesses Were Identified in the Single Family Data
Warehouse
The data warehouse contains critical single family business data from several data sources,
mostly from FHA single-family automated systems. The data warehouse helps FHA manage its
$1.2 trillion portfolio of single family mortgages. The data warehouse maintains Web pages on
HUD’s Intranet that, as of May 2014, contained data query tools for approximately 400
registered users. The data warehouse was created for HUD personnel to extract financial
information to prepare financial statement line items, and to obtain other financial and non-
financial data. The information in the data warehouse can also be used to assess the potential
impact of a disaster. For example, the data warehouse can be used to identify the number of
FHA loans and servicing lenders affected by the disaster. This capability would allow managers
in Headquarters to make decisions regarding potential moratoriums or other special initiatives.
Further, it would give the HUD Secretary background information from the data warehouse to
advise the President.
We found that access to some of the sensitive personally identifiable information in the data
warehouse was not sufficiently limited to individuals as necessary to perform their duties. This
condition occurred because procedures were not sufficient to determine who required access to
the sensitive information in the system. As a result, some of the sensitive information in the data
warehouse could be vulnerable to unauthorized access and disclosure.
Reconciliations of data from some of the source systems that interface with the data warehouse
were not sufficiently performed. This condition occurred because data from the source systems
to the data warehouse were assumed to be valid and some interfaces transferring information to
the data warehouse did not provide adequate data to reconcile the information processed. As a
result, data may not have been processed accurately because of errors, inconsistencies in data,
system interruptions, or communication failures.
Passwords for the data warehouse user accounts were not changed to the frequency specified by
HUD policy. This condition occurred because the system has a limitation where users cannot
change their own passwords. As a result, the sensitive information in the system could be
vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification.
18
Web server software was not kept up to date. This condition occurred because the former acting
Chief Information Officer granted a waiver to continue using the outdated server software
because of application dependencies. As a result, the data warehouse may have been exposed to
known security vulnerabilities.
Information System Control Weaknesses Were Identified in the FHA Subsidiary Ledger
The FHA subsidiary ledger (subsidiary ledger) is FHA’s official system of record of financial
transactions. It is a commercial-off-the-shelf PeopleSoft accounting package and was certified
by the Financial Systems Integration Office as compliant with Federal government financial
accounting processing. The subsidiary ledger relies on 19 interfaces to translate commercial
accounting transactions to code values consistent with Federal rules and regulations in
accordance with the U.S. Standard General Ledger. FHA financial data feeder systems are on
various hardware and software platforms. The transactions are rolled-up and summarized in the
FHA subsidiary ledger’s Financial Transaction Repository and then interfaced into the FHA
subsidiary ledger’s PeopleSoft General Ledger (GL) module for journal processing. FHA
subsidiary ledger maintains budgetary, proprietary and memorandum U.S. Standard General
Ledger accounts. Currently, the FHA subsidiary ledger GL consists of approximately 200,000
summarized transactions (rows) per reporting period.
We found that some of the controls over the subsidiary ledger user accounts were inadequate.
Specifically, inactive user accounts and temporary accounts were not always deactivated or
removed in a timely manner and HUD’s standardized user IDs were not always assigned to
STAT users. These conditions occurred because FHA did not always follow National Institute
of Standards and Technology and the Department’s account management policies when granting
and monitoring those user accounts. Inadequate access controls diminish the reliability of
computerized data and increase the risk of destruction or inappropriate disclosure of subsidiary
ledger data.
Not all subsidiary ledger audit tables with the audit configuration features turned on were
included in the subsidiary ledger audit plan. Also, audit data of these tables were not reviewed
and analyzed by FHA officials for unusual user access activities. These conditions occurred
because subsidiary ledger audit plans and the tables with audit log turned on have not been
reviewed periodically by FHA officials to ensure audit configurations reflect risk inherent in
current operations. As a result, FHA officials cannot ensure inappropriate user access to all
subsidiary ledger audit tables will be identified in a timely manner.
FHA had not developed a Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding (MOA/U) and
Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA) for the external interfaces between the subsidiary
ledger and Treasury systems because the subsidiary ledger moved back to HUD’s data center in
fiscal year 2013. This condition occurred because FHA did not always comply with the Federal
security requirements to ensure a MOA/U and ISA were developed before connecting FHA
systems to external systems. Without developing the ISA and MOA/U before connecting
systems to external systems, FHA management cannot ensure equipment operates properly and
controls are tested for the planned interconnections.
FHA officials did not fully implement adequate controls over information within the subsidiary
ledger test environment. User IDs and passwords for the test environment with subsidiary ledger
19
production data were not encrypted. This condition occurred because HUD’s password
encryption policy was not enforced and FHA management was not aware that the subsidiary
ledger contains Personally Indentifable Information (PII) data that needed to be protected from
unauthorized individuals. Unauthorized individuals can surreptitiously read and copy the PII
data for malicious purposes or personal gain.
The implementation status of some security controls was not accurately reflected in the
subsidiary ledger system security documents. This condition occurred because implementation
statements for the subsidiary ledger security controls were not closely reviewed for accuracy. As
a result, it increases the risk that subsidiary ledger security controls might not be properly
assessed and consequently, inadequate security controls over the application could be
implemented.
Certain configuration management (CM) controls over the subsidiary ledger were inadequately
documented. These conditions occurred because subsidiary ledger management did not ensure
certain information required by HUD’s CM policy and procedures were included in the
subsidiary ledger CM plan. Without adequate policies, procedures, and techniques, FHA risks
that security features can be inadvertently omitted or that processing irregularities are introduced.
Conclusion
FHA must improve its information security controls over the data warehouse and subsidiary
ledger to fully comply with Federal requirements and its own security policies to prevent an
increased risk of unauthorized disclosure or modification of FHA data.
Recommendations
Recommendations were included in separate OIG audit reports9. Therefore, no
recommendations are reported here.

This work was performed under separate audits of the data warehouse and subsidiary ledger which are reported in
Audit Report Number 2015-DP-0001, Federal Housing Commissioner Single Family Housing Enterprise Data
Warehouse, issued October 21, 2014 and Audit Report 2015-DP-0003, Federal Housing Administration FHA

Scope and Methodology
In accordance with the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576), as amended,
OIG is responsible for the conduct of the annual financial statement audit of FHA. The scope of
this work includes the audit of FHA’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the
related statements of net costs and changes in net position, the combined statements of budgetary
resources for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. We
conducted this audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government audit standards and
OMB Bulletin 14-02, as amended, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to
provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We
believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions
based on our audit objectives.
To fulfill these responsibilities, we
Examined, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
principal financial statements;
Assessed the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by
management;
Evaluated the overall presentation of the principal financial statements;
Obtained an understanding of internal controls over financial reporting, including
safeguarding assets and compliance with laws and regulations, including the execution of
transactions in accordance with budget authority;
Tested and evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls
over significant cycles, classes of transactions, and account balances;
Tested FHA’s compliance with certain provisions of laws and regulations, government
wide policies, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts, and certain other laws and regulations
specified in OMB Bulletin 14-02, including the requirements referred to in FMFIA;
Considered compliance with the process required by FMFIA for evaluating and reporting
on internal controls and accounting systems; and
Performed other procedures we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We considered internal controls over financial reporting by obtaining an understanding of the
design of FHA’s internal controls, determined whether these internal controls had been placed
into operation, assessed control risk, and performed tests of controls to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the principal financial statements. We
also tested compliance with selected provisions of applicable laws, regulations, and government
policies that may materially affect the principal financial statements.
21
Regarding internal controls related to performance measures to be reported in FHA’s Fiscal Year
2014 Annual Management Report, we obtained an understanding of the design of significant
internal controls as described in OMB Bulletin 14-02. We performed limited testing procedures
as required by AU-C Section 730, Required Supplementary Information, and OMB Bulletin 14-
02. Our procedures were not designed to provide assurance on internal controls over reported
performance measures, and, accordingly, we do not provide an opinion on such controls.
We did not evaluate the internal controls relevant to operating objectives as broadly defined by
FMFIA. We limited our internal controls testing to those controls that are material to FHA’s
financial statements. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
misstatements may occur and not be detected. We also caution that projection of any evaluation
of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies
and procedures may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal controls over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the internal controls over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies. We noted one material weakness and two significant deficiencies that
are reportable under AICPA and OMB Bulletin 14-02, as amended.
Under standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, a significant
deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control that is less severe
than a material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal controls, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not
be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
22
Follow-up on Prior Audits
A recommendation from a prior year report on FHA’s financial statements that has not been fully
implemented based on the status reported in the Audit Resolution and Corrective Action
Tracking System (ARCATS) is included below. FHA should continue to track this
recommendation under the prior year’s report number in accordance with departmental
procedures. The open recommendation and the status are shown below.
Federal Housing Administration Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012 Financial Statements Audit,

OIG Evaluation of Auditee Comments
Comment 1 OIG recognizes the influence of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA)
on FHA’s accounting. Additionally, OIG recognizes the need to record on an
accrual basis, consistent with GAAP. As FHA continues to evaluate its processes
surrounding settlements and improve the tracking of settlement funds, OIG will
continue to review those processes for the proper recognition in the financial
statements.
Comment 2 OIG has a responsibility to gather sufficient appropriate evidence in order to
report on the assertions in account balances in FHA’s financial statements.
FHA’s efforts to work through processing the partial claims backlog and aligning
its policy with regulatory requirements should result in FHA being able to
produce the evidence to support the loans receivable balances in its financial
statements.
Comment 3 OIG has reviewed FHA’s actions taken to properly recognize liabilities in its
balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. Based upon our review, the actions
taken resulted in adjustments which adequately recognized FHA’s liabilities for
unearned premiums and unpaid supplemental claims.
Comment 4 OIG accepts the response of concurrence for recommendations identified in both
the report on the Single Family Data Warehouse and the report on the FHA
Subsidiary Ledger. We agree that FHA has initiated actions to resolve the
conditions identified. However, we maintain that collectively the conditions
identified warrant a significant deficiency. A significant deficiency is defined as
a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control that is less severe
than a material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance. OIG identified a combination of deficiencies in the FHA
Subsidiary Ledger and the Single Family Data Warehouse that could adversely
affect the reporting of financial data and merit the attention of management. We
look forward to working with the office on the recommendations to reach a
mutually acceptable corrective action plan.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Entity and Mission
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established under the National Housing Act of 1934 and became
a wholly owned government corporation in 1948 subject to the Government Corporation Control Act (31 U.S.C.
§ 9101 et seq.), as amended. While FHA was established as a separate Federal entity, it was subsequently
merged into the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) when that department was created in
1965. FHA does not maintain a separate staff or facilities; its operations are conducted, along with other Housing
activities, by HUD organizations. FHA is headed by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing/Federal Housing
Commissioner, who reports to the Secretary of HUD. FHA's activities are included in the Housing section of the
HUD budget.
FHA administers a wide range of activities to make mortgage financing more accessible to the home-buying
public and to increase the availability of affordable housing to families and individuals, particularly to the nation's
poor and disadvantaged. FHA insures private lenders against loss on mortgages, which finance Single Family
homes, Multifamily projects, health care facilities, property improvements, manufactured homes, and reverse
mortgages, also referred to as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM). The objectives of the activities
carried out by FHA relate directly to developing affordable housing.
FHA categorizes its insurance programs as Single Family (including Title 1), Multifamily and HECM. Single
Family activities support initial or continued home ownership; Title I activities support manufactured housing and
property improvement. Multifamily activities support high-density housing and medical facilities. HECM
activities support reverse mortgages which allow homeowners 62 years of age or older to convert the equity in
their homes into lump sum or monthly cash payments without having to repay the loan until the loan terminates.
FHA supports its insurance operations through five funds. The Mutual Mortgage Insurance fund (MMI), FHA's
largest fund, provides basic Single Family mortgage insurance and is a mutual insurance fund, whereby
mortgagors, upon non-claim termination of their mortgages, share surplus premiums paid into the MMI fund that
are not required for operating expenses and losses or to build equity. The Cooperative Management Housing
Insurance fund (CMHI), another mutual fund, provides mortgage insurance for management-type cooperatives.
The General Insurance fund (GI), provides a large number of specialized mortgage insurance activities, including
insurance of loans for property improvements, cooperatives, condominiums, housing for the elderly, land
development, group practice medical facilities, nonprofit hospitals, and reverse mortgages. The Special Risk
Insurance fund (SRI) provides mortgage insurance on behalf of mortgagors eligible for interest reduction
payments who otherwise would not be eligible for mortgage insurance. To comply with the FHA Modernization
Act of 2008, activities related to most Single Family programs, including HECM, endorsed in Fiscal Year 2009
and going forward, are in the MMI fund. The Single Family activities in the GI fund from Fiscal Year 2008 and
prior remain in the GI fund. The HOPE for Homeowners (H4H) program began on October 1, 2008 for Fiscal
Year 2009 as a result of The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. This legislation required FHA to
modify existing programs and initiated the H4H program and fund.
For the Loan Guarantee Program at FHA, in both the MMI/CMHI and GI/SRI funds there are Single Family and
Multifamily activities. The H4H fund only contains Single Family activity.
35
The following table illustrates how the primary Single Family program activities for FHA are now distributed
between MMI/CMHI and GI/SRI funds based on the year of endorsement:
Fund Loans Endorsed in Fiscal Years Loans Endorsed in Fiscal Years
2008 and Prior 2009 and Onward
GI 234(c), HECM N/A
MMI 203(b) 203(b), 234(c), HECM
In fiscal year 2010, FHA received appropriations for the Energy Innovation and Transformation Initiative
programs. The Energy Innovation program is intended to catalyze innovations in the residential energy efficiency
sector that have the ability to be replicated and to help create a standardized home energy efficient retrofit market.
The appropriation for the Transformation Initiative is for combating mortgage fraud.
Basis of Accounting
The principal financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America applicable to Federal agencies as promulgated by the Federal Accounting Standards
Advisory Board (FASAB). The recognition and measurement of budgetary resources and their status for
purposes of preparing the Combined Statements of Budgetary Resources (SBR), is based on concepts and
guidance provided by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11, Preparation, Submission, and
Execution of the Budget and the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. The format of the SBR is based on the SF
133, Report on Budget Execution and Budgetary Resources.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying principal financial statements include all Treasury Account Fund Symbols (TAFSs)
designated to FHA, which consist of principal program funds, revolving funds, general funds and a deposit fund.
All inter-fund accounts receivable, accounts payable, transfers in and transfers out within these TAFSs have been
eliminated to prepare the consolidated balance sheets, statements of net cost, and statements of changes in net
position. The SBR is prepared on a combined basis as required by OMB Circular A-136, Financial Reporting
Requirements, Revised.
Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury
Fund balance with U.S. Treasury consists of amounts collected from premiums, interest earned from Treasury,
recoveries and appropriations. The balance is available to fund payments for claims, property and operating
expenses and of amounts collected but unavailable until authorizing legislation is enacted (see Notes 2 and 3).
Investments
FHA investments include investments in U.S. Treasury securities and Multifamily risk sharing debentures.
Under current legislation, FHA invests available MMI/CMHI capital reserve fund resources in excess of its
current needs in non-marketable market-based U.S. Treasury securities. These U.S. Treasury securities may not
be sold on public securities exchanges, but do reflect prices and interest rates of similar marketable U.S. Treasury
securities. Investments are presented at acquisition cost net of the amortized premium or discount. Amortization
of the premium or discount is recognized monthly on investments in U.S. Treasury securities using the interest
method in accordance with the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 1 Accounting
for Selected Assets and Liabilities, paragraph 71.
36
Multifamily Risk Sharing Debentures [Section 542(c)] is a program available to lenders where the lender shares
the risk in a property by issuing debentures for the claim amount paid by FHA on defaulted insured loans.
Credit Reform Accounting
The Federal Credit Reform Act (FCRA) established the use of program, financing, general fund receipt and
capital reserve accounts to separately account for transactions that are not controlled by the Congressional budget
process. It also established the liquidating account for activity relating to any loan guarantees committed and
direct loans obligated before October 1, 1991 (pre-Credit Reform). These accounts are classified as either
Budgetary or Non-Budgetary in the Combined Statements of Budgetary Resources. The Budgetary accounts
include the program, capital reserve and liquidating accounts. The Non-Budgetary accounts consist of the credit
reform financing accounts.
In accordance with the SFFAS No. 2, Accounting for Direct Loans and Loan Guarantees, the program account
receives and obligates appropriations to cover the subsidy cost of a direct loan or loan guarantee and disburses the
subsidy cost to the financing account. The program account also receives appropriations for administrative
expenses. The financing account is a Non-Budgetary account that is used to record all of the cash flows resulting
from Credit Reform direct loans, assigned loans, loan guarantees and related foreclosed property. It includes loan
disbursements, loan repayments and fees, claim payments, recoveries on sold collateral, borrowing from the U.S.
Treasury, interest, negative subsidy and the subsidy cost received from the program account.
FHA has two general fund receipt accounts. FHA’s receipt accounts are general fund receipt accounts and
amounts are not earmarked for the FHA’s credit programs. The first is used for the receipt of amounts paid from
the GI/SRI financing account when there is negative subsidy from the original estimate or a downward reestimate.
They are available for appropriations only in the sense that all general fund receipts are available for
appropriations. Any assets in these accounts are non-entity assets and are offset by intragovernmental liabilities.
At the end of the fiscal year, the fund balance in the general fund receipt account is transferred to the U.S.
Treasury general fund.
The second general fund receipt account is used for the unobligated balance transferred from GI/SRI liquidating
account and loan modifications. Similar to the general fund receipt account used for the GI/SRI negative subsidy
and downward reestimates, the amounts in this account are not earmarked for FHA’s credit programs and are
returned to Treasury at the end of the fiscal year. Any assets in this account are non-entity assets and are offset by
intragovernmental liabilities. Negative subsidy and downward reestimates in the MMI/CMHI fund are transferred
to the Capital Reserve account.
The liquidating account is used to record all cash flows to and from FHA resulting from pre-Credit Reform direct
loans or loan guarantees. Liquidating account collections in any year are available only for obligations incurred
during that year or to repay debt. Unobligated balances remaining in the GI and SRI liquidating funds at year-end
are transferred to the U.S. Treasury’s general fund. Consequently, in the event that resources in the GI/SRI
liquidating account are otherwise insufficient to cover the payments for obligations or commitments, the FCRA
provides that the GI/SRI liquidating account can receive permanent indefinite authority to cover any resource
shortages.
Loans Receivable and Related Foreclosed Property, Net
FHA’s loans receivable include mortgage notes assigned (MNA), also described as Secretary-held notes, purchase
money mortgages (PMM), and notes related to partial claims. Under the requirements of the FCRA, PMM notes
are considered to be direct loans while MNA notes are considered to be defaulted guaranteed loans. The PMM
loans are generated from the sales on credit of FHA’s foreclosed properties to qualified non-profit organizations.
37
The MNA notes are created when FHA pays the lenders for claims on defaulted guaranteed loans and takes
assignment of the defaulted loans for direct collections. In addition, Multifamily and Single Family performing
notes insured pursuant to Section 221(g)(4) of the National Housing Act may be assigned automatically to FHA at
a pre-determined point. Partial claims notes arise when FHA pays a loss mitigation amount to keep a borrower
current on their loan. FHA, in turn, records a loan receivable which takes a second position to the primary
mortgage.
In accordance with the FCRA and SFFAS No. 2, Credit Reform direct loans, defaulted guaranteed loans and
related foreclosed property are reported at the net present value of expected cash flows associated with these
assets, primarily estimated proceeds less selling and maintenance costs. The difference between the cost of these
loans and property and the net present value is called the Allowance for Subsidy. Pre-Credit Reform loans
receivable and related foreclosed property in inventory are recorded at net realizable value which is based on
recovery rates net of any selling expenses (see Note 6).
Loan Guarantee Liability
The net potential future losses related to FHA’s central business of providing mortgage insurance are reflected in
the Loan Guarantee Liability in the consolidated balance sheets. As required by SFFAS No. 2, the Loan
Guarantee Liability includes the Credit Reform related Liabilities for Loan Guarantees (LLG) and the pre-Credit
Reform Loan Loss Reserve (LLR) (see Note 6).
The LLG is calculated as the net present value of anticipated cash outflows and cash inflows. Anticipated cash
outflows include: lender claims arising from borrower defaults, (i.e., claim payments), premium refunds, property
costs to maintain foreclosed properties arising from future defaults and selling costs for the properties.
Anticipated cash inflows include premium receipts, proceeds from asset sales and principal and interest on
Secretary-held notes.
FHA records loss estimates for its Single Family LLR (includes MMI and GI/SRI) to provide for anticipated
losses incurred (e.g., claims on insured mortgages where defaults have taken place but claims have not yet been
filed). Using the net cash flows (cash inflows less cash outflows), FHA computes an estimate based on
conditional claim rates and loss experience data, and adjusts the estimate to incorporate management assumptions
about current economic factors.
FHA records loss estimates for its Multifamily LLR (includes CMHI and GI/SRI) to provide for anticipated
outflows less anticipated inflows. Using the net present value of claims less premiums, fees, and recoveries, FHA
computes an estimate based on conditional claim rates, prepayment rates, and recovery assumptions based on
historical experience.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the principal financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Amounts reported for net loans receivable and related foreclosed property and the Loan Guarantee Liability
represent FHA’s best estimates based on pertinent information available.
To estimate the Allowance for Subsidy associated with loans receivable and related to foreclosed property and the
liability for loan guarantees (LLG), FHA uses cash flow model assumptions associated with loan guarantee cases
subject to the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA), as described in Note 6, to estimate the cash flows
38
associated with future loan performance. To make reasonable projections of future loan performance, FHA
develops assumptions, as described in Note 6, based on historical data, current and forecasted program and
economic assumptions.
Certain programs have higher risks due to increased chances of fraudulent activities perpetrated against FHA.
FHA accounts for these risks through the assumptions used in the liabilities for loan guarantee estimates. FHA
develops the assumptions based on historical performance and management's judgments about future loan
performance.
General Property, Plant and Equipment
FHA does not maintain separate facilities. HUD purchases and maintains all property, plant and equipment used
by FHA, along with other Office of Housing activities.
Current HUD policy concerning SFFAS No. 10, Accounting for Internal Use Software, indicates that HUD will
either own the software or the functionality provided by the software in the case of licensed or leased software.
This includes “commercial off-the-shelf” (COTS) software, contractor-developed software, and internally
developed software. FHA had several procurement actions in place and had incurred expenses for software
development. FHA identified and transferred those expenses to HUD to comply with departmental policy.
Appropriations
FHA receives appropriations for certain operating expenses for its program activities, some of which are
transferred to HUD. Additionally, FHA receives appropriations for GI/SRI positive subsidy, upward reestimates,
and permanent indefinite authority to cover any shortage of resources in the liquidating account.
Full Cost Reporting
SFFAS No. 4, Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards and SFFAS No. 30, Inter-Entity Cost
Implementation: Amending SFFAS 4, Managerial Cost Accounting Standards and Concepts to account for costs
assumed by other Federal organizations on their behalf, require that Federal agencies report the full cost of
program outputs in the financial statements. Full cost reporting includes all direct, indirect, and inter-entity costs.
HUD allocates each responsibility segment’s share of the program costs or resources provided by other Federal
agencies. As a responsibility segment of HUD, FHA’s portion of these costs was $15 million for fiscal year 2014
and $18 million for fiscal year 2013, and was included in FHA’s financial statements as an imputed cost in the
Consolidated Statements of Net Cost, and an imputed financing in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net
Position.
Distributive Shares
As mutual funds, excess revenues in the MMI/CMHI Fund may be distributed to mortgagors at the discretion of
the Secretary of HUD. Such distributions are determined based on the funds' financial positions and their
projected revenues and costs. No distributive share distributions have been declared from the MMI fund since the
enactment of the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) in 1990.
Liabilities Covered by Budgetary Resources
Liabilities of federal agencies are required to be classified as those covered and not covered by budgetary
resources, as defined by OMB Circular A-136, and in accordance with SFFAS No. 1. In the event that available
resources are insufficient to cover liabilities due at a point in time, FHA has authority to borrow monies from the
U.S. Treasury (for post-1991 loan guarantees) or to draw on permanent indefinite appropriations (for pre-1992
39
loan guarantees) to satisfy the liabilities. Thus, all of FHA’s liabilities are considered covered by budgetary
resources.
Statement of Budgetary Resources
The Statement of Budgetary Resources has been prepared as a combined statement and as such, intra-entity
transactions have not been eliminated. Budget authority is the authorization provided by law to enter into
obligations to carry out the guaranteed and direct loan programs and their associated administrative costs, which
would result in immediate or future outlays of federal funds. FHA's budgetary resources include current
budgetary authority (i.e., appropriations and borrowing authority) and unobligated balances brought forward from
multi-year and no-year budget authority received in prior years, and recoveries of prior year obligations.
Budgetary resources also include spending authority from offsetting collections credited to an appropriation or
fund account.
Unobligated balances associated with appropriations that expire at the end of the fiscal year remain available for
obligation adjustments, but not for new obligations, until that account is canceled. When accounts are canceled,
five years after they expire, amounts are not available for obligations or expenditure for any purpose.
FHA funds its programs through borrowings from the U.S. Treasury and debentures issued to the public. These
borrowings and debentures are authorized through a permanent indefinite authority at interest rates set each year
by the U.S. Treasury and the prevailing market rates.
Change in Accounting Principle
In prior years, FHA swept (returned to Treasury) its GI/SRI receipt accounts on October 1st. Effective in fiscal
year 2014, FHA is changing the timing of sweeping its receipt accounts from October 1st to September 30th to be
consistent with the implementation of Treasury’s two new systems, the Governmentwide Treasury Account
Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System (GTAS) and the Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS).
FHA is treating this change as a “Change in Accounting Principle”, prospectively. This change in FY 2014 has
no effect on prior years’ financial statements. FHA believes its numbers are accurate on its FY 2013 financial
statement based on inconsistent guidance regarding receipt accounts. This change impacts the balance sheet line
items Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury and Other Liabilities, and reduces both assets and liabilities but does not
impact FHA’s overall net position.
40
Note 2. Non-entity Assets
Non-entity assets consist of assets that belong to other entities but are included in FHA’s consolidated balance
sheets. To reflect FHA’s net position accurately, these non-entity assets are offset by various liabilities. FHA’s
non-entity assets as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
(Dollars in millions)
FY 2014 FY 2013
Intragovernmental:
Fund Balance with Treasury $ 92 $ 1,671
Investments in U.S. Treasury Securities - 3
Total Intragovernmental 92 1,674
Other Assets 41 47
Total Non-Entity Assets 133 1,721
Total Entity Assets 66,533 69,488
Total Assets $ 66,666 $ 71,209
FHA’s non-entity assets consist of FHA’s U.S. Treasury deposit of negative credit subsidy in the GI/SRI general
fund receipt account and of escrow monies collected by FHA from the borrowers of its loans and for the receipt of
bid deposits on asset sales.
According to the FCRA, FHA transfers GI/SRI negative credit subsidy from new endorsements, downward credit
subsidy re-estimates, loan modifications, and unobligated balances from the liquidating account to the GI/SRI
general fund receipt accounts. Effective FY 2014, fund balances in the GI/SRI general fund receipt accounts are
transferred into the U.S. Treasury’s general fund at the end of the fiscal year.
Other assets consisting of escrow monies collected from FHA borrowers are either deposited at the U.S. Treasury
or minority-owned banks or invested in U.S. Treasury securities. Subsequently, FHA disburses these escrow
monies to pay for property taxes, property insurance or maintenance expenses on behalf of the borrowers.
41
Note 3. Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury
FHA’s fund balance with U.S. Treasury was comprised of the following as of September 30, 2014 and 2013:
(Dollars in millions) FY 2014 FY 2013
Fund Balances:
Revolving Funds $ 48,448 $ 61,084
Appropriated Funds 751 775
Other Funds 1,033 1,622
Total $ 50,232 $ 63,481
Status of Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury:
Unobligated Balance
Available $ 13,579 $ 25,075
Unavailable 33,837 35,233
Obligated Balance Not Yet Disbursed 2,816 3,173
Total $ 50,232 $ 63,481
Revolving Funds
FHA’s revolving funds include the liquidating and financing accounts as required by the FCRA and deposit funds
for the receipt of bid deposit fund asset sales. These funds are created to finance a continuing cycle of business-
like operations in which the fund charges for the sale of products or services. These funds also use the proceeds to
finance spending, usually without requirement of annual appropriations.
Appropriated Funds
FHA’s appropriated funds consist of annual or multi-year program accounts that expire at the end of the time
period specified in the authorizing legislation. For the subsequent five fiscal years after expiration, the resources
are available only to liquidate valid obligations incurred during the unexpired period. Adjustments are allowed to
increase or decrease valid obligations incurred during the unexpired period that were not previously reported. At
the end of the fifth expired year, the annual and multi-year program accounts are cancelled and any remaining
resources are returned to the U.S. Treasury.
Other Funds
FHA’s other funds include the general fund receipt accounts established under the FCRA and the deposit funds
for the receipt of bid deposits for asset sales. As of 9/30, there was $73.9 million of bidder deposits. This is
because FHA conducted an asset sale on 9/30 and the unsuccessful bidders’ deposits were not returned until
October. It is like escrow or earnest money, so FHA felt it was already covered in Notes 2 and 10. Effective FY
2014, FHA sweeps its GI/SRI receipt accounts on September 30 and returns the funds to Treasury. Additionally,
the capital reserve account is included with these funds and is used to retain the MMI/CMHI negative subsidy and
downward credit subsidy reestimates transferred from the financing account. If subsequent upward credit subsidy
reestimates are calculated in the financing account or there is shortage of budgetary resources in the liquidating
account, the capital reserve account will return the retained negative subsidy to the financing account or transfer
the needed funds to the liquidating account, respectively.
Status of Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury
Unobligated Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury represents Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury that has not been
obligated to purchase goods or services either because FHA has not received apportionment authority from OMB
to use the resources (unavailable unobligated balance) or because FHA has not obligated the apportioned
resources (available unobligated balance). Fund Balance with U.S. Treasury that is obligated, but not yet
42
disbursed, consists of resources that have been obligated for goods or services but not yet disbursed either because
the ordered goods or services have not been delivered or because FHA has not yet paid for goods or services
received by the end of the fiscal year.
Note 4. Investments
Investment in U.S. Treasury Securities
As discussed in Note 1, all FHA investments in Treasury securities are in non-marketable securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury. These securities carry market-based interest rates. The market value of these securities is
calculated using the bid amount of similar marketable U.S. Treasury securities as of September 30th. The cost, net
amortized premium/discount, net investment, and market values of FHA’s investments in U.S. Treasury securities
as of September 30, 2014 were as follows:
(Dollars in millions)
Amortized (Premium)

Total $ 6,371 $ 1 $ 6,379 $ 6,379
The cost, net amortized premium/discount, net investment, and market values as of September 30, 2013 were as
follows. FHA had no MMI/CMHI investments in U.S. Treasury securities as of September 30, 2013.

Receivables Related to Credit Program Assets
These receivables include asset sale proceeds receivable and rents receivable from FHA’s foreclosed properties.
Premiums Receivable
These amounts consist of the premiums due to FHA from the mortgagors at the end of the reporting period. The
details of FHA premium structure are discussed in Note 13 – Earned Revenue/Premium Revenue.
Partial Claims Receivable
Partial claims receivable represents partial claims paid by FHA to mortgagees as part of its loss mitigation efforts
to bring delinquent loans current for which FHA does not yet have the promissory note recorded.
Generic Debt Receivable
These amounts are mainly composed of receivables from various sources, the largest of which are Single Family
Partial Claims, Single Family Indemnifications, and Single Family Restitutions.
Settlements Receivable
As of September 30, 2014, FHA received signed consent judgments that were approved by the courts for which
funds have not been received.
Miscellaneous Receivable
Miscellaneous receivables include late charges and penalties receivable on premiums receivable, refunds
receivable from overpayments of claims and distributive shares and other immaterial receivables.
Allowance for Loss
The allowance for loss for these receivables is calculated based on FHA’s historical loss experience and
management’s judgment concerning current economic factors.

Note 6. Direct Loans and Loan Guarantees, Non-Federal Borrowers
Direct Loan and Loan Guarantee Programs Administered by FHA include:
Single Family Mortgages
Multifamily/Healthcare Mortgages
Home Equity Conversion Mortgages
FHA reports its insurance operations in three overall program areas: Single Family Forward mortgages,
Multifamily/Healthcare mortgages, and Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM). FHA operates these
programs primarily through four insurance funds: Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI), General Insurance (GI),
Special Risk Insurance (SRI), and Cooperative Management Housing Insurance (CMHI), with the MMI fund
being the largest. There is a fifth fund, Hope for Homeowners (H4H), which became operational in fiscal year
2009 which contains minimal activity.
FHA encourages homeownership through its Single Family Forward programs (Section 203(b), which is the
largest program, and Section 234) by making loans readily available with its mortgage insurance
programs. These programs insure mortgage lenders against losses from default, enabling those lenders to provide
mortgage financing on favorable terms to homebuyers. Multifamily Housing Programs (Section 213, Section
221(d)(4), Section 207/223(f), and Section223(a)(7)) provide FHA insurance to approved lenders to facilitate the
construction, rehabilitation, repair, refinancing, and purchase of multifamily housing projects such as apartment
rentals, and cooperatives. Healthcare programs (Section 232 and Section 242) enable low cost financing of health
care facility projects and improve access to quality health care by reducing the cost of capital. The HECM
program provides eligible homeowners who are 62 years of age and older access to the equity in their property
with flexible terms.

FHA’s Direct Loans are as a result of purchase money mortgages (PMMs). The Direct loan receivables are
primarily multifamily loans and are in the liquidating fund. In addition, FHA has a small amount of new PMMs that
are administered by Single Family Housing. Due to the small size, there is no subsidy associated with these loans.
FHA’s net direct loans receivable is not the same as the proceeds that would be anticipated from the sale of its
direct loans.

Restrictions on the use/disposal of foreclosed property:
The balance relating to foreclosures as of September 30, 2014 is comprised of only Single Family properties.
There are no Multi-family properties currently in inventory.
The Secretary has the authority under the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C 1710 (g)) to manage or dispose of
eligible HUD-owned property assets in a manner that will provide affordable, safe and sanitary housing to low-
wealth families, preserve and revitalize residential neighborhoods, expand homeownership opportunities,
minimize displacement of tenants residing in rental or cooperative housing, and protect the financial interest of
the Federal government.
Single Family properties may be sold to eligible entities (24 CFR 291.303) through public asset sales. Eligibility
of bidders will be determined by the Secretary and included in the bid package with a notice filed in the Federal
Register. In addition, HUD must ensure that its policies and practices in conducting the single family property
disposition program do not discriminate on the basis of disability (24 CFR 9.155(a)).
57
Credit Reform Valuation Methodology
FHA values its Credit Reform LLG and related receivables from notes and property inventories at the net present
value of their estimated future cash flows.
To apply the present value computations, FHA divides loans into cohorts and “risk” categories. Multifamily and
Health Care cohorts are defined based on the year in which loan guarantee commitments are made. Single Family
mortgages are grouped into cohorts based on loan endorsement dates for the GI/SRI and MMI fund. Within each
cohort year, loans are subdivided into product groupings, which are referred to as risk categories in federal budget
accounting. Each risk category has characteristics that distinguish it from others, including loan performance
patterns, premium structure, and the type and quality of collateral underlying the loan. For activity related to fiscal
years 1992-2008, the MMI Fund has one risk category and, for activity related to fiscal years 2009 and onward,
the MMI Fund has two risk categories. That second category is for HECM loans, which joined the MMI Fund
group of programs in 2009. The single family GI/SRI loans are grouped into four risk categories. There are 15
different multifamily risk categories and six health care categories.
The cash flow estimates that underlie present value calculations are determined using the significant assumptions
detailed below.
Significant Assumptions – FHA developed economic and financial models in order to estimate the present value
of future program cash flows. The models incorporate information on the expected magnitude and timing of each
cash flow. The models rely heavily on the following loan performance assumptions:
Conditional Termination Rates: The estimated probability of an insurance policy claim or non-
claim termination in each year of the loan guarantee’s term, given that a loan survives until the
start of that year.
Claim Amount: The estimated amount of the claim payment relative to the unpaid principal
balance at the time the claim occurs.
Recovery Rates: The estimated percentage of a claim payment or defaulted loan balance that is
recovered through disposition of a mortgage note or underlying property.
Additional information about loan performance assumptions is provided below:
Sources of data: FHA developed assumptions for claim rates, prepayment rates, claim amounts, and recoveries
based on historical data obtained from its internal business systems.
Economic assumptions: Independent forecasts of economic conditions are used in conjunction with loan-level
data to generate Single Family, Multifamily, and Health Care claim and prepayment rates. Sources of forecast
data include IHS Global Insight and Moody’s Analytics. OMB provides other economic assumptions used, such
as interest rates and the discount rates used against the cash flows.
Actuarial Review: An independent actuarial review of the MMI Fund each year produces conditional claim,
prepayment, and loss severity rates that are used as inputs to the Single Family LLG calculation, both for forward
and (post-2008) HECM loans.
Reliance on historical performance: FHA relies on the historical performance of its insured portfolio to generate
behavioral response functions that are applied to economic forecasts to generate future performance patterns for
the outstanding portfolio. Changes in legislation, program requirements, tax treatment, and economic factors all
influence loan performance. FHA assumes that its portfolio will continue to perform consistently with its
58
historical experience, respecting differences due to current loan characteristics and forecasted economic
conditions.
Current legislation and regulatory structure: FHA's future plans allowed under current legislative authority have
been taken into account in formulating assumptions when relevant. In contrast, future changes in legislative
authority may affect the cash flows associated with FHA insurance programs. Such changes cannot be reflected in
LLG calculations because of uncertainty over their nature and outcome.
Discount rates: The disbursement-timing-weighted interest rate on U.S. Treasury securities of maturity
comparable to the guaranteed loans term creates the discount factor used in the present value calculation for
cohorts 1992 to 2000. For the 2001 and future cohorts, the rate on U.S. Treasury securities of maturities
comparable to cash flow timing for the loan guarantee is used in the present value calculation. This latter
methodology is referred to as the basket-of-zeros discounting methodology. OMB provides these rates to all
Federal agencies for use in preparing credit subsidy estimates and requires their use under OMB Circular A-11,
Part 4, and “Instructions on Budget Execution.” The basket-of-zeros discount factors are also disbursement
weighted.
Analysis of Change in the Liability for Loan Guarantees
FHA has estimated and reported on LLG calculations since fiscal year 1992. Over this time, FHA’s reported LLG
values have shown measurable year-to-year variance. That variance is caused by four factors: (1) adding a new
year of insurance commitments each year; (2) an additional year of actual loan performance data used to calibrate
forecasting models, (3) revisions to the methodologies employed to predict future loan performance, and (4)
programmatic/policy changes that affect the characteristics of insured loans or potential credit losses.
Described below are the programs that comprise the majority of FHA’s loan guarantee business. These
descriptions highlight the factors that contributed to changing LLG estimates for FY 2014. Overall, FHA’s
liability decreased from the fiscal year 2013 estimates.
Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) – On net, the MMI Fund LLG decreased from $31,010 million at the end of
fiscal year 2013 to $24,648 million at the end of fiscal year 2014. This decrease is the result of the decreases in
liability in the Forward loans exceeding the smaller increase in liability to HECM. There are two primary factors
at work this year in the forward-loan portfolio and two in the HECM (reverse mortgage) portfolio. The decrease
in liability in Forward loans is mainly due to the inclusion of the 2014 book-of-business which is forecast to add
almost $ 9 billion in negative liability to the MMI fund. The second major factor affecting the portfolio LLG is
the ramping up of the new policy requiring major loan servicers to facilitate Third Party Sale sales at foreclosure
auctions in order to reduce reliance upon costly REO activities. HUD ran a limited pilot program in 2012 and then
began national implementation in 2013 which has increased throughout the 2014 fiscal year. The first factor
affecting the HECM LLG calculation is that there are three new mortality tables used this year which show people
living longer. This causes the termination rates for HECM to be longer and thus increases the liability to the Fund.
The second factor is HECM recoveries as related to conveyance claim costs that were adjusted this year to reflect
increased maintenance and operation cost for projected conveyances. (Note: this increased cost will lower future
expected recoveries hence increase liability).
Premium revenues continue to reflect the impacts of five increases from April 2010 through June 2012. To
address the decline in portfolio value indicated by the 2012 actuarial study and the President’s 2014 Budget, FHA
raised forward-loan insurance premiums again in Fiscal Year 2013.
FHA continues to face delayed claim actions. This is a result from lender’s holding properties after foreclosure
auctions to assure they have good title to transfer to HUD, and because of significant foreclosure process
bottlenecks in so-called judicial States, where court approval is required to schedule foreclosure auctions. Those
59
delays are addressed in the loan performance forecasts. This year, the MMI Fund LLG includes an assumption
that 12,000 additional loans will go to claim in FY 2015, above those otherwise predicted by the forecasting
models. While such adjustments in past years have resulted in over-predictions of near term claims, the
adjustment number this year is much smaller than what was used in past years. In addition, HUD continues to
pursue the clearing of long foreclosure queues through its Distressed Asset Sale Program. That, alone, could
account for the 12,000 loans involved in the adjustment noted here.
GI/SRI Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) - HECM endorsements from fiscal years 1990-2008 remain
in the GI/SRI Fund. The liability for these loans increased from $10,796 million at the end of FY 2013 to $11,034
million at the end of FY 2014. This liability is driven more by long term house price appreciation forecasts than
short term forecasts. Also, for the FY2014 liability estimate, HECM recoveries as related to conveyance claim
costs were adjusted this year to reflect increased maintenance and operation cost for projected conveyances.
(Note: this increased cost will lower future expected recoveries hence increase liability). The HECM loans
remaining in the GI/SRI fund also benefited from slower UPB (Unpaid Principal Balance) growth due to lower
current and future (projected) interest rates for adjustable-rate mortgages. Over 99 percent of the remaining
GI/SRI HECM loans have adjustable interest rates.
GI/SRI Section 223(f) - Section 223(f) of the National Housing Act permits FHA mortgage insurance for the
refinance or acquisition of existing multifamily rental properties consisting of five or more units. Under this
program, FHA may insure up to 85 percent of the lesser of the project’s appraised value or its replacement cost.
Projects insured under the program must be at least three years old. The Section 223(f) program is the largest
multifamily program in the GI/SRI fund with an insurance-in-force of $28 billion. The Section 223(f) liability is
negative, meaning that the present value of expected future premium revenues is greater than the present value of
expected future (net) claim expenses. The 223(f) liability decreased this year by $297 million, from ($766)
million to ($1,063) million, due to lower prepayment and claims expectations as well as increased insurance-in-
force.
GI/SRI Section 221(d)(4) - Section 221(d)(4) of the National Housing Act authorizes FHA mortgage insurance for
the construction or substantial rehabilitation of multifamily rental properties with five or more units. Under this
program, FHA may insure up to 90 percent of the total project cost. This is the second largest multifamily
program in the GI/SRI fund with an insurance-in-force of $11.5 billion. The Section 221(d)(4) liability decreased
by $38 million this year, from ($48) million to ($86) million. This was due to lower claims and prepayments
predicted.
GI/SRI Section 232 Health Care New Construction - The Section 232 NC program provides mortgage insurance
for construction or substantial rehabilitation of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. FHA insures a
maximum of 90 percent of the estimated value of the physical improvements and major movable equipment. The
Section 232 NC program has an insurance-in-force of $3.2 billion. The Section 232 NC liability decreased by
$13.9 million from ($44.6) million in FY 2013 to ($58.5) million in FY 2014 due to a diminished insurance-in-
force and decreased claim and prepayment expectations.
GI/SRI Section 232 Health Care Purchasing or Refinancing - The Section 232 Refinance program provides
mortgage insurance for two purposes: purchasing or refinancing of projects that do not need substantial
rehabilitation, and installation of fire safety equipment for either private, for-profit businesses or non-profit
associations. For existing projects, FHA insures a maximum of 85 percent of the estimated value of the physical
improvements and major movable equipment. The Section 232 Refinance program has an insurance-in-force of
$30 billion. The Section 232 Refinance liability decreased by $116 million from ($537) million in FY 2013 to
($653) million in FY 2014 due to a significant decrease in claims expectations coupled with a large increase in
insurance-in-force.
60
GI/SRI Section 242 Hospitals - The Section 242 Hospitals program provides mortgage insurance for the
construction, substantial rehabilitation, or refinance of hospitals and/or the purchase of major hospital equipment
to either private, for-profit businesses or non-profit associations. FHA insures a maximum of 90 percent of the
estimated replacement cost of the hospital, including the installed equipment. The Section 242 program has an
insurance-in-force of $8.6 billion. The Section 242 liability decreased by $46 million from ($249) million in FY
2013 to ($295) million in FY 2014 due to higher premium revenue caused by decreased prepayment expectations
as well as lower claims expected.
Risks to LLG Calculations
LLG calculations for most major programs now use Monte Carlo simulations and stochastic economic forecasts.
What is booked as an LLG value is the average or arithmetic “mean” value from a series of projections that view
loan portfolio performance under a large variety of possible economic circumstances. The individual economic
scenario forecasts are designed to mimic the types of movements in factors such as home prices, interest rates,
and apartment vacancy rates that have actually occurred in the historical record. By creating a large number of
these scenarios, each independent of the others, one creates a universe of potential outcomes that define the
possible set of LLG values in an uncertain world. Using the mean value across all forecast scenarios is valuable
for providing some consideration for “tail risk.” Tail risk occurs in most loan guarantee portfolios because
potential losses under the worst scenarios are multiples of potential gains under the best scenarios. The inclusion
of tail events in the mean-value calculation creates an addition to LLG, which is the difference between the mean
value from the simulations and the median value. The median is the point at which half of the outcomes are worse
and half are better. By booking a mean value rather than a median, FHA is essentially providing some additional
protection in its loss reserves against adverse outcomes. At the same time, booking an LLG based on a mean
value results in a better than even chance future revisions will be in the downward direction. Comparisons of
mean-value results to indicators of the range of possible outcomes from the Monte Carlo simulations for Single
Family forward and HECM mortgages in the MMI LLG are shown in the table below. The representative
outcomes shown there are for the inter-quartile range (25th and 75th percentiles), and a standard indicator of
“tail”outcomes (95th percentile).
Range of LLG Values Found in Monte Carlo Simulations
(all dollars in millions)
Program Area 25th Percentile Mean 75th Percentile 95th Percentile
MMI Fund
Single-Family Forward $ 10,990 $ 17,201 $ 21,795 $ 39,829
Mortgages
Single Family Reverse $ 806 $ 7,447 $ 13,223 $ 20,261
Mortgages (HECM)
Total $ 11,796 $ 24,648 $ 35,018 $ 60,090
The uncertainty built into Monte Carlo forecasts is only for economic risk, and not for model risk. All LLG values
are fundamentally dependent upon forecasts of insured-loan performance. Those forecasts are developed through
models that apply statistical, economic, financial, or mathematical theories, techniques, and assumptions to create
behavioral-response functions from historical data. All such models involve risk that actual behavior of borrowers
and lenders in the future will differ from the historical patterns embedded in the forecasting models. Model risk
also emanates from the possibility that the computer code used to create the forecasts has errors or omissions
which compromise the integrity and reliability of projections.
61
Each year, HUD works with its contractors to evaluate the forecasting models for reasonableness of results on a
number of dimensions. Model risk is also addressed through a continuous cycle of improvement, whereby lessons
learned from the previous round of annual portfolio valuations—in the independent actuarial studies, LLG
valuations, and President’s Budget—are used as a basis for new research and model development in the current
year. Lastly, because of the critical importance of the FHA single-family programs for national housing policy,
and the uncertainty surrounding the final cost of credit expenses resulting from the recent, severe economic
recession, HUD has contracted for a second independent actuarial study of that portfolio. Such a second opinion
directly addresses potential model risk by seeing if a different modeling approach would produce a reasonably
similar economic value. This year, the results of that examination provide a reasonable assurance that any model
risk in the LLG calculations is within a tolerable range for accepting the primary contractor’s loan performance
projections.
At this point in the economic cycle, with demand for rental units high, and loans refinancing to historically low
interest rates, near term risks to the multifamily LLG calculation appear to be low. However, over the longer term,
risks come from many sources--changes in population growth and household formation, the supply of rental
housing in each market where FHA has a presence, and local employment conditions. Risks also come from
FHA’s policy of insuring loans pre-construction in its 221(d)(4) program, though that is a small share of new
endorsement activity today. To the extent 221(d)(4) projects come into each new cohort, LLG calculations are
subject to risk from their abilities to find viable markets when they do come on-line. New construction loans
approved in 2007 – 2009 have now gone through several annual rounds of rentals to prove market viability. The
combined 2010-2013 cohorts, which are just now starting to come into rent-up, are more than twice as large as
2007-2009, by dollar volume. Valuations of the newer portfolio are dependent upon continued trends in rental
vacancy rates and rental-price growth.
For Healthcare programs (Sections 232 and 242), LLG risk comes principally from health-care reimbursement
rates from Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, the financial health of State and Municipal government entities
also is a source of LLG risk, as many of the FHA-insured projects benefit, in part, from periodic cash infusions
from those entities. Risk also varies as does the quality of business management at each facility, and from the
supply of medical care in each community relative to demand and the abilities of facility management to adapt to
changing technologies and the competitive landscape. These are factors for which it is difficult to predict future
trends.
62
Pre-Credit Reform Valuation Methodology
FHA values its Pre-Credit Reform related notes and properties in inventory at net realizable value, determined on
the basis of net cash flows. To value these items, FHA uses historical claim data, revenues from premiums and
recoveries, and expenses of selling and maintaining property.
MMI Single Family LLR - For the single family portfolio, the remaining insurance-in-force for pre-credit reform
loans is $2.4 billion. The aggregate liability for the remaining pre-credit reform loans in FY 2014 is $7.6 million,
which is a $1.6 million increase from the $6 million estimate in FY 2013.
GI/SRI Multifamily & Healthcare LLR - For the multifamily and healthcare portfolio, the remaining insurance-in-
force for pre-credit reform loans is $555 million. The aggregate liability for the remaining pre-credit reform loans
in FY 2014 is ($1.6) million, which is a $100 thousand increase from the ($1.7) million estimate in FY 2013. The
year-over-year increase in aggregate liability is due to a $291 million decline in insurance-in-force as both
measures move closer to zero.
GI/SRI Section 223(a)(7) - Section 223(a)(7) gives FHA authority to refinance FHA-insured loans. Under this
program, the refinanced principal amount of the mortgage may be the lesser of the original amount of the existing
mortgage or the remaining unpaid principal balance of the loan. Loans insured under any sections of the National
Housing Act may be refinanced under 223(a)(7), including those already under 223(a)(7). The Section 223(a)(7)
program has an insurance-in-force of $19.3 billion. The Section 223(a)(7) liability is negative, meaning that the
present value of expected future premium revenues is greater than the present value of expected future (net) claim
expenses. The 223(a)(7) liability decreased this year by $40 million, from ($600) million to ($640) million,
principally due higher premium revenue expectations resulting from decreased projected prepayment speeds.

Total $ 47 $ 379
Advances to HUD for Working Capital Fund Expenses
The Working Capital Fund was established by HUD to consolidate, at the department level, the acquisition of
certain property and equipment to be used by different organizations within HUD. Advances to HUD for
Working Capital Fund expenses represent the amount of payments made by FHA to reimburse the HUD Working
Capital Fund for its share of the fund’s expenses prior to the receipt of goods or services from this fund.
Escrow Monies Deposited at Minority-Owned Banks
FHA holds in trust escrow monies received from the borrowers of its Multifamily mortgage notes to cover
property repairs and renovations expenses and for the bid deposits on asset sales. These escrow monies are
deposited at the U.S. Treasury (see Note 2), invested in U.S. Treasury securities (see Note 4 - GI/SRI
Investments) or deposited at minority-owned banks.
Deposits in Transit
A deposit in transit is cash that has not been confirmed as being received by the U.S. Treasury. Once the U.S.
Treasury has confirmed that this cash has been received, the cash will be moved from Deposits in Transit to Fund
Balance with U.S. Treasury.

payment to lenders has not taken place at the end of the reporting period. This line item also includes estimated
claims on suspended supplemental claims.
Premium Refunds
Premium refunds payable are refunds of previously collected Single Family premiums that will be returned to the
borrowers resulting from prepayment of the insured mortgages.
Single Family Property Disposition Payable
Single family property disposition payable includes management and marketing contracts and other property
disposition expenses related to foreclosed property.
Miscellaneous Payables
Miscellaneous payables include interest enhancement payables, interest penalty payables for late payment of
claims, generic debt payables and other payables related to various operating areas within FHA.

Classification of Debt:
Intragovernmental Debt $ 27,528 $ 25,940
Total $ 27,528 $ 25,940
Borrowings from U.S. Treasury
In accordance with Credit Reform accounting, FHA borrows from the U.S. Treasury when cash is needed in its
financing accounts. Usually, the need for cash arises when FHA has to transfer the negative credit subsidy
amounts related to new loan disbursements and existing loan modifications from the financing accounts to the
general fund receipt account (for cases in GI/SRI funds) or to the capital reserve account (for cases in MMI/CMHI
funds). In some instances, borrowings are also needed to transfer the credit subsidy related to downward
reestimates from the GI/SRI financing account to the GI/SRI receipt account or when available cash is less than
claim payments due.
During fiscal year 2014, FHA’s U.S. Treasury borrowings carried interest rates ranging from 0.75 percent to 7.59
percent. In fiscal year 2013, they carried interest rates ranged from 1.68 percent to 7.59 percent. The maturity
dates for these borrowings occur from September 2017 – September 2030. Loans may be repaid in whole or in
part without penalty at any time prior to maturity.

Total $ 3,983
With the Public:
Trust and Deposit Liabilities $ 100
Multifamily Notes Unearned Revenue 243
Miscellaneous Liabilities 81
Total $ 424
Receipt Account Liability
The receipt account liability is created from negative credit subsidy from new endorsements, downward credit
subsidy reestimates, loan modifications, and unobligated balances from the liquidating account in the GI/SRI
receipt account. Effective FY 2014, FHA sweeps its GI/SRI receipt accounts on September 30 and returns the
funds to Treasury.
Trust and Deposit Liabilities
Trust and deposit liabilities include mainly escrow monies received by FHA for the borrowers of its mortgage
notes and earnest money received from potential purchasers of the FHA foreclosed properties. The escrow
monies are eventually disbursed to pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance expenses on behalf of the
borrowers. The earnest money becomes part of the sale proceeds or is returned to any unsuccessful bidders.
67
Multifamily Notes Unearned Revenue
Multifamily Notes Unearned Revenue primarily includes the deferred interest revenue on Multifamily notes that
are based on work out agreements with the owners. The workout agreements defer payments from the owners for
a specified time but, the interest due on the notes is still accruing and will also be deferred until payments resume.
Premiums Collected on Unendorsed Cases
Premiums collected on unendorsed cases represent amounts collected by FHA for cases that have not yet been
endorsed. FHA’s policy is to collect upfront premiums prior to endorsing a case.
Miscellaneous Liabilities
Miscellaneous liabilities mainly include unearned premium revenue and may include loss contingencies that are
recognized by FHA for past events that warrant a probable, or likely, future outflow of measurable economic
resources.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
FHA is party in various legal actions and claims brought by or against it. In the opinion of management and
general counsel, the ultimate resolution of these legal actions will not have an effect on FHA’s consolidated
financial statements as of September 30, 2014. There are pending or threatened legal actions where judgment
against FHA is reasonably possible with an estimated potential loss of $24 million or more.
Activity with Ginnie Mae
As of September 30, 2014, the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) held defaulted FHA-
insured mortgage loans. These loans, acquired from defaulted mortgage-backed securities issuers, had the
following balances:
FY 2014 FY 2013
(in Millions) (in Millions)
Mortgages Held for Investment & Foreclosed Property (Pre-Claim) 4,891 5,780
Short Sale Claims Receivable 19 44
“Ginnie Mae” may submit requests for claim payments to FHA for some or all of these loans. Subject to all
existing claim verification controls, FHA would pay such claims to Ginnie Mae, another component of HUD,
upon conveyance of the foreclosed property to FHA. Any liability for such claims, and offsetting recoveries, has
been reflected in the Liability for Loan Guarantees on the accompanying financial statements based on the default
status of the insured loans.

69
Interest Expense
Intragovernmental interest expense includes interest expense on borrowings from the U.S. Treasury in the
financing account. Interest expense is calculated annually for each cohort using the interest rates provided by the
U.S Treasury. Interest expense with the public consists of interest expense on debentures issued to claimants to
settle claim payments and interest expense on the annual credit subsidy reestimates.
Interest Accumulation Expense
Interest accumulation expense is calculated as the difference between interest revenue and interest expense. For
guaranteed loans, the liability for loan guarantees is adjusted with the offset to interest accumulation expense.
Imputed Costs/Imputed Financing
Imputed costs represent FHA’s share of the departmental imputed cost calculated and allocated to FHA by the
HUD CFO office. Federal agencies are required to report imputed costs under SFFAS No. 4, Managerial Cost
Accounting Concepts and Standards, and SFFAS No. 30, Inter-Entity Cost Implementation: Amending SFFAS 4,
Managerial Cost Accounting Standards and Concepts to account for costs assumed by other Federal
organizations on their behalf. The HUD CFO receives its imputed cost data from the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) for pension costs, federal employee health benefits (FEHB) and life insurance costs. It also
receives Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) costs from the Department of Labor (DOL).
Subsequently, using its internally developed allocation basis, HUD CFO allocates the imputed cost data to each of
its reporting offices. The imputed costs reported by FHA in its Statements of Net Cost are equal to the amounts
of imputed financing in its Statements of Changes in Net Position.
Salary and Administrative Expenses
Salary and administrative expenses include FHA’s reimbursement to HUD for FHA personnel costs and FHA’s
payments to third party contractors for administrative contract expenses. Beginning in fiscal year 2010 and going
forward, FHA is only using the MMI annual program fund to record salaries and related expenses other than those
relating to the H4H program.
Re-estimate Expense
Re-estimate expense captures the cost associated with revisions to the liability for loan guarantee. A re-estimate
is calculated annually.
Subsidy Expense
Subsidy expense, positive and negative, consists of credit subsidy expense from new endorsements, and
modifications. Credit subsidy expense is the estimated long-term cost to the U.S. Government of a direct loan or
loan guarantee, calculated on a net present value basis of the estimated future cash flows associated with the direct
loan or loan guarantee.
Bad Debt Expense
Bad debt expense represents the provision for loss recorded for uncollectible amounts related to FHA’s pre-1992
accounts receivable and credit program assets. FHA calculates its bad debt expense based on the estimated
change of these assets’ historical loss experience and FHA management’s judgment concerning current economic
factors.
70
Loan Loss Reserve Expense
Loan loss reserve expense is recorded to account for the change in the balance of the loan loss reserve liabilities
associated with FHA’s pre-1992 loan guarantees. The loan loss reserve is provided for the estimated losses
incurred by FHA to pay claims on its pre-1992 insured mortgages when defaults have taken place but the claims
have not yet been filed with FHA.
Other Expenses
Other expenses with the public include only those associated with the FHA pre-1992 loan guarantees. They
consist of net losses or gains on sales of FHA credit program assets, insurance claim expenses, fee expenses, and
other miscellaneous expenses incurred to carry out FHA operations. Other intragovernmental expenses include
FHA’s share of HUD expenses incurred in the Working Capital Fund and expenses from intra-agency
agreements.

Total With the Public $ 28 $ 2 $ 46 $ 76
Total Earned Revenue $ 1,748 $ 825 $ 108 $ 2,681
Interest Revenue
Intragovernmental interest revenue includes interest revenue from deposits at the U.S. Treasury and investments
in U.S. Treasury securities. FHA’s U.S. Treasury deposits are generated from post-1991 loan guarantees and
direct loans in the financing accounts. FHA’s investments in U.S. Treasury securities consist of investments of
surplus resources in the MMI/CMHI Capital Reserve account and of escrow monies collected from borrowers in
the GI/SRI liquidating accounts.
Interest revenue with the public is generated mainly from FHA’s acquisition of pre-1992 performing MNA notes
as a result of claim payments to lenders for defaulted guaranteed loans. Interest revenue associated with the post-
1991 MNA notes is included in the Allowance for Subsidy (AFS) balance.
72
Gain on Sale of MMI/CMHI Investments
This gain occurred as a result of the sale of investments before maturity in the MMI/CMHI Capital Reserve
account because the sales price of the investments was greater than the book value of the investments at the time
of the sale.
Premium Revenue
According to the FCRA accounting, FHA’s premium revenue includes only premiums associated with the pre-
1992 loan guarantee business. Premiums for post-1991 guarantee loans are included in the balance of the LLG.
The FHA premium structure includes both up-front premiums and annual periodic premiums.
Up-front Premiums
The up-front premium rates vary according to the mortgage type and the year of origination. The FHA up-front
premium rates in fiscal year 2014 were:
Upfront Premium Rates
Single Family:
10/01/2013 - 9/30/2014 1.75%
Multifamily 0.25%, 0.45%, 0.50%, 0.80% or 1.00%
HECM Standard 2.00% (Based on Maximum Claim Amount)
HECM Saver 0.01% (Based on Maximum Claim Amount)
Annual Periodic Premiums
The periodic premium rate is used to calculate monthly or annual premiums. These rates also vary by mortgage
type and program. The FHA annual periodic premium rates in fiscal year 2014 were:
Annual Periodic Premium Rates
Single Family:
10/01/2013 - 9/30/2014 1.20%, 1.25% , 1.45% or 1.50%
10/01/2013 - 9/30/2014 1.30%, 1.35%, 1.50% or 1.55%
Multifamily 0.45%, 0.50%, 0.57% or 0.80%
HECM (Standard and Saver) 1.25%
For Title I, the maximum insurance premium paid for guaranteed cases endorsed in years 1992 through 2001 is
equal to 0.50 percent of the loan amount multiplied by the number of years of the loan term. The annual
insurance premium for a Title I Property Improvement loan is 0.50 percent of the loan amount until the maximum
insurance charge is paid. The annual insurance premium of a Title I Manufactured Housing loan is calculated in
tiers by loan term until the maximum insurance charge is paid. For guaranteed cases endorsed in fiscal year 2013,
the Title I annual insurance premium is 1.00 percent of the loan amount until maturity.
Income from Notes and Property
Income from Notes and Property includes revenue associated with FHA pre-1992 loan guarantees. This income
includes revenue from Notes and Properties held, sold, and gains associated with the sale.
73
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes revenue associated with FHA pre-1992 loan guarantees. FHA’s other revenue consists of
late charges and penalty revenue, fee income, and miscellaneous income generated from FHA operations.
Note 14. Gross Cost and Earned Revenue by Budget Functional Classification
FHA cost and earned revenue reported on the Statements of Net Cost is categorized under the budget functional
classification (BFC) for Mortgage Credit (371). All FHA U.S. Treasury account symbols found under the
department code “86” for Department of Housing and Urban Development appear with the Mortgage Credit BFC.

Transfers In/Out From HUD
FHA does not receive an appropriation for salaries and expense; instead the FHA amounts are appropriated
directly to HUD. In order to recognize these costs in FHA’s Statement of Net Cost, a Transfer In from HUD is
recorded based on amounts computed by HUD. FHA continues to make a non-expenditure Transfer Out to HUD
for Working Capital Fund expenses.
Other Financing Sources
Transfers out to U.S. Treasury consist of negative subsidy from new endorsements, modifications and downward
credit subsidy reestimates in the GI/SRI general fund receipt account.

As required under FCRA, FHA receives appropriations to cover expenses or fund shortages related to its loan
guarantee and direct loan operations.
FHA receives appropriations in the program accounts for administrative and contract expenses. The GI/SRI and
H4H no-year program accounts also receive appropriations for positive credit subsidy and upward reestimates.
Additionally, FHA obtains permanent indefinite appropriations to cover any shortfalls for its GI/SRI pre-1992
loan guarantee operations.
When appropriations are first received, they are reported as unexpended appropriations. As these appropriations
are expended, appropriations used are increased and unexpended appropriations are decreased. Additionally,
unexpended appropriations are decreased when: administrative expenses and working capital funds are
transferred out to HUD; appropriations are rescinded; or other miscellaneous adjustments are required.

Note 21. Reconciliation of Net Cost of Operations to Budget
This note (formerly the Statement of Financing) links the proprietary data to the budgetary data. Most
transactions are recorded in both proprietary and budgetary accounts. However, because different accounting
bases are used for budgetary and proprietary accounting, some transactions may appear in only one set of
accounts. The Reconciliation of Net Cost of Operations to Budget is as follows for the period ended September
