Unacceptable Conditions (AO-19)

Certain types of conditions are unacceptable in any assignment because performing an assignment under such conditions violates USPAP. Specifically, an assignment condition is unacceptable when it:

• precludes an appraiser’s impartiality, because such a condition destroys the objectivity and independence required for the development and communication of credible results;

• limits the scope of work to such a degree that the assignment results are not credible, given the intended use of the assignment; or

• limits the content of a report in a way that results in the report being misleading.
