Comment: A signed certification is an integral part of the appraisal report. An appraiser who signs any part of the appraisal report, including a letter of transmittal, must also sign this certification.

In an assignment that includes only assignment results developed by the business and/or intangible asset appraiser(s), any appraiser(s) who signs a certification accepts full responsibility for all elements of the certification, for the assignment results, and for the contents of the appraisal report.  In an assignment that includes real property or personal property assignment results not developed by the business and/or intangible asset appraiser(s), any business and/or intangible asset appraiser(s) who signs a certification accepts full responsibility for the business and/or intangible asset elements of the certification, for the business and/or intangible asset assignment results, and for the business and/or intangible asset contents of the appraisal report.

When a signing appraiser(s) has relied on work done by appraisers and others who do not sign the certification, the signing appraiser is responsible for the decision to rely on their work. The signing appraiser(s) is required to have a reasonable basis for believing that those individuals performing the work are competent.  The signing appraiser(s) also must have no reason to doubt that the work of those individuals is credible.(note121)

The names of individuals providing significant business and/or intangible asset appraisal assistance who do not sign a certification must be stated in the certification. It is not required that the description of their assistance be contained in the certification but disclosure of their assistance is required in accordance with SR 10-2(a) or (b)(vii), as applicable.(note122)
