On February 13, Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu discussed eliminating appraisal bias in the financial industry at a public hearing held by the Appraisal Subcommittee of the FFIEC. In his remarks, Hsu highlighted the importance of addressing bias in the existing standards for appraisal reports to aid in the OCC’s efforts to expand access to homeownership. Hsu noted that the OCC is taking steps to increase access to homeownership by improving supervisory methods used to identify potential discrimination in lending and housing valuations and encouraging banks to expand affordable housing financing and access to credit.
