They "must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also states that "some financial institutions reinforce regular reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for some of their high-liability or high-value dealings as a means to help in identifying valuation problems."
