Appraisal reviews "have to conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the collateral valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality," the Federal Reserve says. They "must also show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve states that "some banks add typical reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for any of their high-risk or higher-value contracts as a method to help in uncovering valuation disputes."
