In communicating an appraisal report, each Appraiser must ensure the following:

• That the information analysis utilized in the Appraisal Report was appropriate
• That significant errors of omission or commission were not committed individually or collectively
• That services were not rendered in a careless or negligent manner
• That a credible, supportable Appraisal Report was communicated

To become a designated Appraiser with The Appraisal Institute of Canada, Appraisers must fulfill rigorous education and experience requirements (see Become a CRA or AACI at www.aicanada.ca) and all active members of the Appraisal Institute of Canada must take continuing education courses in order to remain a member. In addition, Appraisers must abide by a strict industry code of ethics and comply with national standards of practice for Real Estate Appraisal – the rules for developing an Appraisal and reporting its results are insured by enforcement of the Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
