CVA Documentation Review & Data Validation 5

Question 1

An applicant claims a name change after marriage. Which combination of documents best supports this during a verification review?

Accepted Answer

Marriage certificate plus a current government-issued ID reflecting the new name

Answer

A marriage certificate establishes the legal basis for the name change, while a current ID confirms the new name is officially adopted.

Question 2

A data validation process flags records where the ZIP code does not match the listed city and state. This is an example of what type of check?

Accepted Answer

Lookup/cross-reference check

Answer

Cross-referencing a ZIP code against a city-state lookup table is a lookup/cross-reference check that validates geographic consistency.

Question 3

During a document review, an agent identifies a white-out correction on a submitted bank statement. What is the appropriate response?

Accepted Answer

Flag the document as potentially altered and request a certified or electronically issued statement

Answer

White-out on a financial document is a red flag for alteration, and the agent should request an unaltered, authenticated version.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a 'completeness check' in a data validation workflow?

Accepted Answer

To ensure all mandatory fields contain a non-null, non-empty value

Answer

A completeness check ensures no required fields are missing or empty, which is foundational before deeper validation steps.

Question 5

When a CVA receives a foreign-language document for verification, the first step should be to:

Accepted Answer

Obtain a certified translation from a qualified translator before validating content

Answer

Certified translations ensure accuracy and legal defensibility; automated tools may introduce errors that compromise verification integrity.
