USPAP COURSE OFFERED IN SAN DIEGO OCT. 10-11 A 15-hour USPAP course for personal property appraisers will be held in San Diego, CA on Oct. 10-11, 2009. Sponsored by the ASA San Diego Chapter and taught by AQB certified instructor Bill Novotny.
USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) is the “Gold Standard” of appraisal practice, technique and due diligence. The Appraisal Foundation was created by Congress in 1986 to set appraisal standards for Ethics, Practice & Methodology, and report writing. USPAP is the regulation document that sets forth these standards, and is updated every two years. It is the guideline by which appraisers are judged in most federal, state and legal venues, and the IRS has included it in their “Qualified Appraisal” requirements.
This 15-hour USPAP course presents an overview of the current USPAP 2008-2009 regulations and guidelines, and fulfills the requirements of professional appraisal societies for designation and for USPAP continuing education. All personal property appraisers should take this course. Attorneys, claims experts and individuals who hire or supervise appraisers should take this course also. There is a required exam, and participants will receive a Verification of Completion for their professional Continuing Education credits.
The course is sponsored by the San Diego Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers, and will be taught by Bill Novotny, ISA AM, certified as a national USPAP instructor by the Appraiser Qualifications Board in Washington D.C. In 2002 he was the first personal property appraiser to attain this distinction. Note: This course will be taught from the perspective of personal property appraisers. Real estate appraisers are required to take a separate USPAP course taught from a real estate perspective.
