EX-99.10 12 f09597exv99w10.txt EXHIBIT 99.10 EXHIBIT 99.10 [PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LOGO] PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP 125 High Street Boston, MA 02110-1707 Telephone (617) 530 5000 Facsimile (617) 530 5001 www.pwc.com REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of GMAC Mortgage Corporation: We have examined management's assertion about GMAC Mortgage Corporation and its subsidiaries' (the "Company") compliance with the minimum servicing standards ("standards") identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the accompanying management assertion (see Exhibit I). Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the entity's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for out opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the standards. Our examination identified certain instances of non compliance with USAP as it relates to Section I - Custodial Bank Accounts. Specifically, there were bank accounts over the course of several months where the Company was not in full compliance with USAP requirements as it related to the preparation of custodial bank reconciliations within 45 calendar days of cutoff as well as the resolution of reconciling items within 90 calendar days of original identification. The Company remediated the issues related to the preparation of custodial bank accounts reconciliations within 45 calendar days as of December 31, 2004. These instances of non compliance as well as management's remediation status are more fully described in management's assertion, which is set forth in Exhibit 1. In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned standards except for the instances of non compliance related to Section I - Custodial Bank Accounts, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP March 18, 2005 (2) GMAC MORTGAGE EXHIBIT 1 MANAGEMENT'S ASSERTION CONCERNING COMPLIANCE WITH USAP MINIMUM SERVICING STANDARDS March 18, 2005 As of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, GMAC Mortgage Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have complied in all material respects with the minimum servicing standards (the "Standards") set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") except as follows: Section I - Custodial Bank Accounts requires that reconciliations be prepared on a monthly basis for all custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts. These reconciliations shall be prepared within forty-five (45) calendar days after the cutoff date and reconciling items resolved within ninety (90) calendar days of their original identification. Subsequent to the Company's servicing platform conversion that took place in January of 2004, and as a result of temporary reporting challenges resulting from this conversion, there were bank accounts over the course of several months where the Company was not in full compliance with USAP requirements as it related to the preparation of custodial bank reconciliations within 45 calendar days of cutoff as well as the resolution of reconciling items within 90 calendar days of original identification. The Company remediated the issues related to the preparation of custodial bank accounts reconciliations within 45 calendar days as of December 31, 2004. The Company has subsequently, in 2005, remediated the resolution of reconciling items within 90 calendar days of original identification. As of and for this same period, the Company had in effect fidelity bond and errors and omissions policies in the amounts of $300,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively.
