Under the USPAP 2024 SCOPE OF WORK RULE, which statement correctly describes determining the scope of work during an appraisal assignment?
Correct Answer
A) Determine the work needed for credible results and revisit it as facts emerge
Scope determination is an ongoing process. The scope must include the research and analyses needed for credible assignment results, and new information or conditions can require reconsideration. It must meet both the expectations of parties regularly using similar assignments and the relevant peer-action benchmark. The report must adequately disclose the work performed. Do not turn useful intake planning into an invented requirement that the full scope be irrevocably resolved before accepting, or confuse that issue with separate competency obligations.
