Audience This program is a must for anyone involved in a bank's appraisal/evaluation function, whether they are actively ordering/managing/reviewing appraisals, performing/ordering evaluations, or engaged in real estate lending risk management. Appraisal Dept. members, evaluators, compliance officers, risk managers, and underwriters must know the rules and guidance. Lenders may want to attend so they, too, can understand the appraisal function and learn what product is needed, what level of review is required, and what examiners are looking for when they review the appraisal and evaluation function.
