Appraisal reviews "have to conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the method by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality," as stated by the Federal Reserve. They "should also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is even with the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve states that "some institutions add routine reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for a few of their higher-risk or high-value dealings as a control to aid in detecting valuation problems."
