The five federal banking regulatory agencies — Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Office of Thrift Supervision and National Credit Union Administration — jointly released updates in December to the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines. The updates expand upon the 1994 document, which sets forth guidelines for appraisal independence, complete and accurate reporting of property and market conditions and selecting competent individuals to perform valuation services.
Guidance Designed For:
- Independent appraisers
- Appraisal professionals from large and small firms
- Appraisal management company (AMC) professionals
- Mortgage lenders
- Loan originators
|
The new guidelines provide clarification of the agencies’ appraisal regulations and supervisory guidance to institutions and examiners about appraisal and evaluation programs. The guidelines — and their appendices — update and replace existing guidance documents to reflect developments concerning appraisals and evaluations, changes in standards, and advancements in collateral valuation methods.
No matter your place in the real estate valuation or mortgage lending community, the new guidelines will redefine the standards your daily operations are held to. Join us for 90 minutes of expert live instruction on the new guidelines governing your business.
New Interagency Guidelines for Appraisals will:
- Examine how the guidelines reaffirm appraisal independence and clarify the types of communications that could be coercion or undue influence — plus provide examples of actions that would compromise independence;
- See how the guidelines promote appraisal quality and provide guidance on reporting to reflect revisions to USPAP;
- Address transactions that require evaluations;
- Clarify expectations for an appropriate depth of appraisal reviews, the educational and training qualifications for reviewers, the resolution of valuation deficiencies and documentation standards; and
- Take an in-depth look at the new Monitoring Collateral Value section and an institution’s responsibility to make a referral and file a suspicious activity report (SAR).
