The practitioner must first be familiar with the mandatory requirements as well as the commentary and guidance contained in those Standards before attempting to use these Frameworks. Failure to do so may result in their inappropriate use and completion, and failure to comply with the mandatory requirements of Red Book.  \nThis suite of documents is aimed at the sole practitioner and small firm only. The chief aim is to facilitate compliance with the requirement for mandatory minimum content of terms of engagement (Red Book VPS 1) and report (Red Book VPS 3.2) . Frameworks are provided for taking valuation instructions, creating terms of engagement and reports and associated covering letters.  \nAll written valuations are subject to PS 1 and PS 2 of Red Book. The valuer must also establish whether or not the valuation being carried out is subject to VPS 1 – VPS 5 of Red Book and must comply with those Standards as well as any other relevant mandatory section of Red Book. These frameworks do not tell the valuer what to say which remains at the valuer ’s professional and commercial discretion. The frameworks do, however, offer some guidance for their completion which must be read and applied along with the guidance already set out in the relevant sections of Red Book.  \nThe valuer should be aware that all valuations are commissioned for a particular purpose and each purpose brings into play its own regulatory requirements. The valuer must therefore familiarise themselves with all Valuation Practice Guidance – Applications and Global Valuation Standards covered by Red Book and comply accordingly.  \nThe terms of engagement and report templates frameworks are parallel documents. Terms of engagement are primarily a memorandum of what has been agreed between the valuer and client for the avoidance of doubt and confusion. Red Book requires that much of the agreement set out in the terms of engagement is repeated in the report and the valuer will see that many of the headings in terms of engagement are repeated in the report.  \nValuation instruction form  \nThe valuer should begin with the valuation instruction form which has been designed to enable the valuer to obtain from the client all the information necessary in order to carry out the valuation instruction.  \nTerms of Engagement  \nThe terms of engagement template framework has all the headings required for compliance with VPS 1 and should be completed based upon the information in the valuation instruction form.  \nThe section of the terms of engagement framework dealing with assumptions and extent of investigations follows the guidance to be found in VPS 4.7 and VPGA 8 of Red Book. The valuer must read and apply VPS 4.7 and take into consideration VPGA 8 .  \n[scsi. ie](scsi. ie)  \nJune 2019  \nThe vast majority of valuations are carried out based upon limited inspections and investigations, in other words with limited due diligence. This means that valuer is not in possession of the full facts about the property and therefore has to make assumptions. The limits in due diligence must be agreed with the client, clearly stated in then terms of engagement and covered by an agreed and reasonable assumption. It is recommended that the limits in the inspections and investigations and the consequent assumptions are stated together in the same section of the terms of engagement.  \nReport  \nThe report template framework is set out to follow the list of minimum required content in VPS 3.2. This list closely follows the list in VPS 1 for terms of engagement underlining the point that terms of engagement are a memorandum of the agreed facts upon which the report is to be based.
