Which statement about the Scope of Work for the review appraiser is NOT true?

In the context of appraisal reviews, the scope of work for the review appraiser does not need to be the same as that of the appraisal under review. Each appraisal and its review can have different requirements based on the specific needs of the client, the complexity of the appraisal, and other pertinent factors.

The reviewer’s scope of work can differ to appropriately address concerns or provide a comprehensive evaluation of the original appraisal. This flexibility allows the reviewer to enhance their analysis, examine additional factors, or employ different methodologies, addressing any deficiencies or areas of concern in the original appraisal process.

By contrast, the scope of work being less than, greater than, or accurately described—all of which are options stated in other parts—supports the idea that the reviewer has the discretion to modify their approach based on what is warranted for their specific review task. Understanding this allows appraisers and reviewers to focus on the quality and effectiveness of their evaluations rather than adhering to a limited or identical scope, which may not serve the intended purpose of the review.
