Appraisal reviews "ought to conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the actions by which the collateral valuation is obtained ensures 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 range of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also states that "some banks reinforce routine reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for any of their high-liability or greater-value contracts as a way to assist in revealing valuation complications."
