What is the back row (OC/BC) responsible for on the ops floor?

• A. Make final FMV analytic decision
• B. Provide ultimate FMV authority
• C. All of the above
• D. Guide FMV analysis in a cell

Answer: (C)

The back row on the ops floor handles oversight of FMV work across the team. They guide how FMV analyses are conducted in each cell, setting expectations for data sources, methods, and assumptions so practices stay consistent. They also carry the responsibility to make the final analytic decision, integrating the results from the cell-level work and determining the conclusion when a decision needs synthesis. In addition, they hold ultimate FMV authority, able to finalize policy or override analyses as needed. Because these duties are interconnected, this role covers guiding the analysis, making the final call, and possessing the ultimate authority. Focusing on just one aspect would miss the broader oversight and accountability that the back row provides.
