What actions are required by the Bank when it is discovered that a borrower paid property tax (or insurance) directly and the bank has also paid from escrow? Is there a requirement to issue a refund immediately upon discovery or can we wait for our annual analysis to determine the overage? Any direction to regulation would be helpful!

There is no requirement to do anything until the next annual analysis. At that time, you'll obviously have a surplus. Alternatively, you could issue a short-year statement and refund the surplus now. Then you could issue another short-year statement at the time of their original anniversary.
