Moreover, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the range of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed 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".
