As stated by the Federal Reserve, appraisal reviews "ought to decide whether the appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the collateral valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality." In addition, they "must announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which sets forth the scope of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve states that "some institutions reinforce typical reviews with post-funding surveys of appraisal quality for a few of their higher-risk or high-value affairs as a method to help in exposing valuation problems."
