Appraisal reviews "ought to find out whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability of the transaction, and whether the process by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality," as stated by the Federal Reserve. They "must also show whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also states that "some banks add periodic reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for some of their high-risk or higher-value contracts as a control to help in addressing valuation complications."
