April 13, 2009: Richard Rydstrom Fighting for Best Practices for the Servicer to Help the Borrower -
Quoted in Tax Analysts Tax Notes (Tax.Org), the preeminent national tax policy and news publication.
-----
"It's a good step in the right direction," said Richard Rydstrom, chair of the Coalition
for Mortgage Industry Solutions. He said, however, that the guidance does not resolve
a potential discrepancy from prior guidance in which the phrases "reasonably
foreseeable default" and "imminent default" seem to be used interchangeably. The
industry needs to be reassured that the safe harbor will apply to the reasonably
foreseeable standard, which is broader, Rydstrom said. "

August 2008: FAS 140 Delayed One Year!

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) postponed the implementation of FAS 140 by one year. FAS 140 would consolidate securitization qualified special-purpose entities (QSPE) - including mortgages, credit card, student and retail auto loans. Losses and valuations would be brought (back) to the balance sheets and potentially adversely impact capital and regulatory requirements, financial ratios, financial covenant performance and dampen credit markets, trigger more write downs, and impede liquidity.
