What should a Trainee Appraiser do if they suspect they are being given inappropriate tasks?

A Trainee Appraiser who suspects they are being assigned inappropriate tasks should communicate their concerns directly to the Supervisory Appraiser. This action is critical because the Supervisory Appraiser is responsible for overseeing the work of the trainee and ensuring that it adheres to professional and ethical standards.

By addressing the issue with the Supervisory Appraiser, the trainee allows for a proper evaluation of the situation, which can help clarify expectations and responsibilities. It also provides an opportunity for the Supervisory Appraiser to guide the trainee and ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines. This step is crucial in maintaining both professional integrity and personal accountability within the appraisal process.

Involving others, such as fellow appraisers or clients, may not resolve the issue appropriately and could potentially complicate the situation further. The Supervisory Appraiser is specifically positioned to manage such concerns and take corrective action if needed.
