Moreover, they should show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which describes the scope of the appraisal assignment. The Fed notes 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".
