The ASB has released their April 2007 Q & A. Appraisers who specialize in providing courtroom testimony will find these questions useful, especially as they pertain to record keeping for both oral and written appraisal reports.
- Does the expectation to have a transcript or a summary apply only in assignments when an appraiser provides an oral report?
- Is a transcript of an oral report or testimony required for the workfile when an appraiser testifies about an appraisal assignment?
- Does the expectation to have a transcript or summary of testimony apply if the appraiser has a written appraisal report and testifies only to the information contained in that report?
- If an appraiser prepares a written appraisal report, is the workfile required to contain a separate signed certification for any testimony the appraiser provided in support of that report?
- Must the workfile contain a transcript or summary of an appraiser’s testimony for the entire proceeding, or only for that portion that contains the appraiser’s testimony?
