departments that review various activities that have occurred throughout the year.""

Mortgage servicers must annually report prior-year account information to mortgagors to meet regulations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other government agencies, as well as to meet internal reporting requirements.

LPS says its year-end processing enables clients to comply with these business-critical requirements by compiling loan information, generating exception and balancing reports, and creating annual statements for mortgagors.

""For more than 45 years, we have had a reputation for always completing year-end processing and having the system available on the first business day of the new year,"" said Dan Scheuble, co-chief operating officer of LPS and president of its mortgage processing services division.

Scheuble added, ""Our superior processing technology and expert 24-hour support are the foundation of this long-term track record of success and demonstrate why clients continue to rely on LPS in an industry facing unprecedented change.""

Approximately 50 percent of all U.S. mortgages by dollar volume are serviced using LPS' Mortgage Servicing Package (MSP), the company said.
