Appraisal reviews "must conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the collateral valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. They "must also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is even with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the outlook of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve states that "some institutions reinforce periodic reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for a few of their high-liability or high-value contracts as a method to help in detecting valuation disputes."
