Appraisal Policy Update

Appraisal Policy Update - 07/05/06

Bankpolicies.com is proud to announce the immediate availability of our revised Appraisal Policy Template product.

The revision to this product is in response to the FDIC's Financial Institution Letter 53-2006 issued on June 23, 2006 entitled "Revisions to the Universal Standards of Professional Appraisal." The statement alerts financial institutions that the Appraisal Standards Board has issued the 2006 version of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

The Appraisal Standards Board has adopted certain important revisions to USPAP, effective July 1, 2006, including a new Scope of Work Rule that sets standards for the determination and documentation of scope of research and analyses in appraisal assignments.
