Check out the
FREE VIDEO of USPAP Changes
for 2012-2013

For many appraisers, a video presentation will be the least painful way to learn about the forthcoming USPAP regulations.

The Appraisal Foundation has announced the release of a free video on its website entitled "A Preview of Changes to the 2012-13 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)". It is ready now.

The video is just 23 minutes in length, and features an interview with the 2011 Chair and Vice Chair of the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB), J. Carl Schultz, Jr. and Barry Shea, respectively. A PowerPoint presentation is available for simultaneous viewing as well.

USPAP changes discussed in this video include:

1) Revisions to DEFINITIONS of “Client,” “Extraordinary Assumptions,” and “Hypothetical Condition,” as well as a new definition of “Exposure Time”;

2) Creation of a new RECORD KEEPING RULE and related edits to the Conduct Section of the ETHICS RULE;

3) Revisions to Advisory Opinion 21, USPAP Compliance; and,

4) Revisions to STANDARDS 7 & 8: PERSONAL PROPERTY APPRAISAL, DEVELOPMENT & REPORTING.

A Mock Administrative Hearing and an audio webinar on Fair Value Measures are also available online from the AF's eLibrary.The Appraisal Foundation has plans to expand its eLibrary later this year with a videotaped session on Green Buildings and their Valuation, coming in late 2011.
