Desktop Appraisal Report"},"content":{"rendered":"
After a\u00a0CMEA<\/a>\u00a0performs a machinery & equipment appraisal for your business, he or she will give you an appraisal report that states his or her findings and estimates. You could receive either a summary appraisal report or\u00a0a desktop appraisal report, depending on the arrangements you made with your CMEA.<\/p>\n A summary appraisal report typically requires an on-site inspection, and details discovered during the inspection are included in the report. The report is USPAP<\/a>-compliant and will express value as a single figure for each tangible asset valued. The aggregate will be reported as a single number.<\/p>\n If you choose a desktop appraisal report, you won\u2019t have to incur the cost of an on-site inspection and detailed analysis. Instead, the CMEA will use pictures and equipment descriptions to determine the value.<\/p>\n As long as you appraisal report is conducted by a CMEA, you will know it\u2019s fair, accurate, and defensible.<\/p>\n
