Moreover, they must show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve says that "some banks supplement routine reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for some of their higher-risk or greater-value transactions as a control to assist in detecting valuation problems".
