Learning Communities

  • Advisory Councils
  • Committees 

Other Learning Opportunities

  • Regulator Training Courses: These courses are designed to expand the participant’s appraiser regulatory knowledge necessary for administration of a state appraiser and appraisal management company regulatory program in compliance with Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (Title XI of FIRREA), as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd Frank), and the Appraisal Subcommittee’s (ASC) Policy Statements.
  • Case Studies for Investigators Courses: AARO’s Case Studies for Investigators (CSI) series is designed to hone the skills and technical knowledge of the investigators and staff involved in the appraiser regulatory investigation process by providing real world examples that follow the sequential steps from the intake of a complaint/allegation or new license request through the final disposition or adjudication. Participation in the CSI series will expand the participant’s proficiency in investigative techniques and USPAP compliance, including document collection, investigative due diligence, interviews, investigation reports and Standard 3/4 review reports, hearings, testifying, and interactions with witnesses, respondents, complainants, Board members, and administrative staff. New case studies are provided each year to allow for a continued expansion of the investigative expertise of the participants, as well as their familiarity with the Appraisal Subcommittee’s Policy Statement 7.
