CU Audit - via consultative reviews and reports - provides an objective, 2nd line of defense evaluation to Arch senior leadership as to the quality of the business units' and delegated authority partners' underwriting decisions in the management of their portfolios along with validating adherence to guidelines and authority levels, suggesting change where necessary and enhancing underwriting processes and controls.
