RESTATEMENT PROJECT
UAT Analyst

Confidential, established in 1938 by the US Congress as a Government Sponsored Enterprise, or GSE. Fannie Mae operates exclusively in the Secondary Mortgage Market, to ensure that money for mortgages are available to home buyers. It does this in two ways: First, by paying cash for mortgages bought from lenders and holding these mortgages in their portfolio. The lenders in turn can use that money to make more mortgages available for more Home buyers. Second, by issuing what is known as Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) in exchange for pools of mortgages from lenders. These MBS provide the lenders with a more liquid asset to hold or sell. Fannie Mae MBS are highly liquid investments and are traded on Wall Street through securities dealers.

Securities Cost Basis Sub-Ledger (SCBSL) was created based on the need for Fannie Mae to have one central location to calculate the results of different accounting events that affect the cost basis of the securities that it purchases, holds and eventually sells during the Restatement Period. Accounting rules are applied at every stage and the final entries are written to General Ledger.
