About the Seminar
This course addresses topics that were not included in the older version such as International Standards, diversity, and Regulation No. 5. The examples and case studies address real-life, up-to-date matters such as mortgage fraud and advocacy. The course contains relevant and much-needed information for members.
The content emphasizes
- which standards apply to Appraisal Institute members and when they apply
- the key principles of the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute
- how to identify and avoid behavior that violates the Code of Professional Ethics
- the correct way for Associate and Designated Members to use the Appraisal Institute's designations, emblems, and logo
- how the Appraisal Institute's enforcement process works and what it means to an individual member
- the importance of diversity as business strategy
- business practices that are unacceptable in a customer service industry such as appraisal practice and ways to avoid unacceptable practices
