Revised USPAP Reporting Options for 2014

Along with updated UAD guidelines and additional UCDP checks for new fields slated to go into effect in January, there will also be some changes to USPAP’s reporting options in the new year.

Beginning January 1st, the 2014 USPAP guidelines will reduce the number of reporting options from three:

  • Self-Contained Report
  • Summary Appraisal Report
  • Restricted Use Appraisal Report

To two:

  • Appraisal Report
  • Restricted Appraisal Report

The Appraisal Report replaces the previous Self-Contained and Summary reports while The Restricted Appraisal Report replaces the previous Restricted Use Appraisal Report.

How do we accommodate the changes in TOTAL and WinTOTAL?

Anywhere the previous three appraisal types were referenced is being updated. A number of forms have been updated to reflect this and will now appear in the Table of Contents with the prefix [USPAP 2014].

The list of updated forms includes:

  • The USPAP ID forms:

  • All of the GP series forms

  • Restricted use appraisal
  • Updates to the Summary Phrase list

TOTAL and WinTOTAL will be updated with these new reporting options before the end of December.
