Appraisal reviews "ought to determine whether the appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the processes by which the collateral valuation is collected ensures independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. Moreover, they "must signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve states that "some institutions augment routine reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a number of their high-risk or larger-value contracts as a control to assist in exposing valuation issues."
