The Federal Reserve says appraisal reviews "must figure out whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the methods by which the collateral valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality." They "must also show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve states that "some financial institutions supplement periodic reviews with post-funding surveys of appraisal quality for some of their high-liability or large-value affairs as a channel to help in discovering valuation complications."
