Appraisal reviews "have to figure out whether the appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the processes by which the collateral valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality," as stated by the Federal Reserve. In addition, they "should signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which sets forth the scope of the appraisal assignment."
