The FDIC has selected a sample of loans to be validated for our CRA PE. For our PPP loans they want us to provide a copy of the application form. We do not have this in the documentation we retained for our own validation.

Has this been a common request for others? I am aware that examiners are looking for fraud, but all they want is the note and the PPP application, so I'm not understanding how this would identify fraud.

For anyone that has been through an exam, what was your experience?

I would be very surprised if the FDIC examiners conducting your CRA data validation are looking for fraud. Probably just looking for a source to validate one of the data points in the analysis.

If you tell them which documents have the fraud I am sure they would be happy to look at those too.
