All too often the public does not know who to trust when it comes
to a machinery and equipment appraisal. After all, the public may
rely on book value, an invoice, guess, or a depreciation schedule
to determine value. A vast majority of the public are unsuspecting
as to what the equipment is really worth. The public may not
realize that the above methods to determine a value is not only
inaccurate but may be filled with the risk of liability. For those
reasons, an equiupment appraisal delivered by an ECA or EECA
is intended to preserve the public trust backed by stellar ethical
and reporting of a defensible and substanted estimate of value.
There is no assignment that is too large or too small in any industry for an ECA or EECA who has vast experience, knowledge and skill.

IEV and its Members uphold and promote the ethical obligations and reporting requirements of Standards 7 and 8 relating to personal property appraisers. Each appraisal assignment and subsequent Appraisal Report generated by an ECA and EECA meets and exceeds Standards 7 and 8 of USPAP.

to value and levels of trade for each item that is appraised documenting data obtained to deliver a defensible estimate of value that is substantiated and will hold up under scrutiny.
