Which term identifies the person described as the attended user in an appraisal assignment context?

• A. Client
• B. Intended user
• C. Public
• D. Attended user

Answer: (D)

In USPAP, different parties connected to an appraisal report are identified by specific terms. The attended user is the person who attends or will attend the appraisal assignment and who will rely on the results during the process or upon receipt of the report. The label used for that individual is exactly attended user, which is why this choice is the best fit for identifying who fits that role.

Other terms describe different relationships: the client is the party who hires the appraiser; the intended user is whoever the appraiser expects to rely on the report; the public is a broad, generic audience. None of these specifically identify the person who attends the assignment or will directly engage with the appraisal process in the way described by the attended user term.
