What is the USPAP certification statement in an appraisal report and what does it affirm?

The certification statement is the signed statement in the appraisal report in which the appraiser affirms that the assignment complies with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Under USPAP, it is the appraiser, not a report form, that complies with the standards. The statement must name anyone who provided significant real property appraisal assistance and summarize that assistance, and it affirms that the appraiser acted independently and impartially without a predetermined value.
