Significant appraisal assistance from a person who does not sign the report must be treated how?
Correct Answer
D) Disclosed, with the assistance summarized
Why this is correct: When a person who does not sign the report provides significant appraisal assistance, USPAS requires the signing appraiser to disclose that assistance in the certification and summarize its nature. This maintains transparency about who performed the work. Why the other choices are wrong: Charged as a separate line on the invoice is a billing matter, not a report disclosure requirement. Reported to the state licensing board is not required unless misconduct is involved. Kept confidential from the client entirely violates disclosure rules. Exam tip: Significant assistance must be disclosed and summarized in the certification.
