MaestroQA helps financial institutions ensure compliance with US Financial Regulations, including the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA). Customizable QA scorecards allow organizations to monitor key interaction points, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and adherence to regulations.

What are QA Scorecards?

A QA scorecard, also known as a rubric, is a structured scoring guide used to evaluate agent performance against specific standards. By creating scorecards tailored to US Financial Regulations, businesses can:

  • Ensure compliance with key regulatory requirements.
  • Pinpoint areas where agents may need additional training.
  • Gain a clear understanding of how well their team aligns with company and Financial Regulation standards.

With a properly set up QA scorecard, businesses can turn compliance requirements into actionable insights that improve outcomes for both agents and customers.

With tailored QA scorecards, compliance becomes a driver of both operational excellence and customer trust. Below are examples of how scorecards can be designed to align with US Financial Regulations and help your organization stay audit-ready.
