On October 3, 2008, the ASB issued its First Exposure Draft of proposed changes to the 2010-11 edition of USPAP, which consisted of proposed edits relating to:
Definition of Signature
Definition of Jurisdictional Exception and the JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTION RULE
The ETHICS RULE
The COMPETENCY RULE
STANDARD 3, Appraisal Review, Development and Reporting

Don't believe everything you think ;)

This looks like a potential problem to me:

43
If known prior to accepting agreeing to perform an assignment, and/or if discovered at any time during the assignment, an appraiser must disclose to the client, and in the subsequent report certification:


The problem is, it is a MUST. However, the comment refers to a 'may disclose except when confidentiality prohibits it' situation. The problem I see with it, as worded is that it would require you to disclose past services within 6 months. However, if you had promised the prior client you would not disclose, that puts you in conflict. Turning down the assignment would be the only other option. I don't believe I agree with the ASB logic in proposing this rule.

That's been changed to THREE YEARS...jeez. I have appraised some properties 4 times in 3 years....I have one that I appraise annually for an estate. How stupid is that?
If you ever suggested that the "Vero Possemus" campaign signs had something to do with possums, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.
