Federal law on appraisal activities with the latest amendments. Legislative framework of the Russian Federation Law of July 29, 1998 135 fz

Federal Law No. 172-FZ "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" signed by the President of Russia, despite numerous appeals from the appraisal community to Vladimir Putin with a request to reject the signing of the bill. The document introduces significant changes to Law N 135-FZ "On Valuation Activities in the Russian Federation".

Changes made to the law on valuation activities:

• a mandatory qualification exam was introduced;
• the mandatory examination of SROs of assessment reports was cancelled;
• introduced the responsibility of the customer for providing data on the object of assessment;
• the powers of the Council for Appraisal Activities under the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia have been changed.

The adoption of the law was commented by Irina Vishnevskaya, General DirectorBerkshire Advisory Group, uh Expert of the Working Body for Methodological Support and Expertise under the Council for Appraisal Activities of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, expert of the Working Body for the Protection of the Rights and Legitimate Interests of Appraisers and the SROO of the Council for Appraisal Activities of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation:

“This is a law that the President of the Russian Federation has already signed, and in order to implement it, everyone will have to start working in a new way. A new era in the industry has begun. Reboot".

Mandatory qualifying exam. For all

The draft law establishes a mandatory qualification exam for all appraisers. An appraiser who has a higher education and/or has undergone professional retraining in the field of assessment is allowed to take the exam. Exam frequency - every three years. After successfully passing the test, the appraiser will be able to work only in the areas indicated in the qualification certificate.

Oleinikov Vladimir, Partner, Head of the Financial Consulting Department of the SRG Group of Companies comments on the changes:

“In accordance with the new law, an appraiser can carry out appraisal activities only in the areas indicated in his qualification certificate. Thus, several areas will be singled out in the valuation activity - valuation of movable property, valuation of real estate, business valuation, etc. Previously, for example, an equipment appraiser who had never appraised a business could sign a shareholding appraisal report without possessing the required level of competence. With the introduction of a certification measure in areas, the appraiser will first have to confirm his expert level in the valuation of property of a certain type, after which he will be entitled to sign valuation reports.”

You can retake the exam no earlier than 90 days later. While the appraiser does not have a qualification certificate, he cannot become a member of the SROO, carry out appraisal activities and draw up appraisal reports.

“The mandatory examination means that the state has taken measures to clean up the market, as a result of which the number of appraisers in the country is expected to be reduced from 20,000 to about 4,000. Passing the exam will turn into a months-long “scourge”, similar to how auditors pass exams,” comments Irina Vishnevskaya.

A qualification certificate is issued by a body authorized to conduct a qualification exam, provided that the applicant has passed the exam, and also has at least three years of work experience (experience) in the field of assessment. Moreover, at least a year of them - in the position of assistant appraiser or appraiser.

Oleinikov Vladimir assesses the introduction of requirements for the experience of an appraiser positively:

“The introduction of this measure is absolutely justified and is an indicator of an increase in the status of the profession. Previously, a university graduate who received a diploma of appraisal education and did not have a year of practice in appraisal activities could receive membership in the SRO and the status of an appraiser. Nothing prevented such an appraiser from signing reports on the valuation of the most complex property with a market value of over several billion rubles.

Which body will conduct the exam, how qualifications will be assessed and in what areas - is not indicated in the Federal Law. It should be noted that the lack of indication of specific areas creates the preconditions for the division of the profession into narrow specializations. Professionals practicing the valuation of several types of property will obviously be forced to either take exams in all areas, or narrow the field of their professional activity. The adoption of this draft law will inevitably lead to an increase in the financial burden on appraisers.

“This is unlikely to lead to an increase in the cost of services,” notes Irina Vishnevskaya, “rather it means the limit of the market: firms of 1-2 people that exist as “showcases” on the Internet will unite. Consolidation will also affect companies with a name. Most likely, in the next Expert RA rating we will see completely different players in the appraisal market.”

The introduction of a mandatory qualification exam for appraisers was supported by Olga Kosets, President of the International Public Organization for the Support and Protection of Small and Medium Business "Business People", a Moscow municipal deputy:

“I believe that the state, as an interested party, has the right to make clear demands on the people who carry out the assessment. A mandatory exam will not only determine the level of qualification, but also stimulate the acquisition of an appropriate level of knowledge. The resistance and indignation of the expert community in this case is incomprehensible to me. If only because unscrupulous market participants, like a fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey, damage the image of appraisers in general. Although I share the concern of some specialists who believe that it will be possible to pass a qualification certificate “for money”.

Recall that the issues of determining the level of competence and professionalism of appraisers have recently been actively discussed within the framework of the Council for Professional Qualifications of the Financial Market, which operates in order to fulfill the instructions of the President of Russia to create a system for independent assessment of qualifications. The professional standard "Specialist in appraisal activities" has been developed. At the moment, the professional standard is being tested, as well as the development of assessment tools by centers for assessing qualifications.

Independent assessment of qualifications will be regulated by a special Federal Law "On Independent Assessment of Qualifications" (Draft Federal Law No. 1029618-6). Part 3 of Article 1 of the bill states:

Such a wording contradicts the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, expressed in the decision of June 29, 2004 No. 13-P and establishing that the norms of the law that is specifically designed to regulate the relevant relations are recognized as priority. In addition, this provision of the draft law allows the priority of other normative legal acts of the Russian Federation over the law, which does not correspond to the constitutional principle of the supremacy of federal laws.

It is still difficult to say in what form the two systems for assessing the qualifications of appraisers will coexist: mandatory (provided for by the new version of 135-FZ) and voluntary (within the framework of an independent assessment of qualifications).

Cancellation of the mandatory examination of SROs of evaluation reports

The decision to cancel the mandatory examination of SROs looks inconsistent: over the past few years, changes have been introduced that are aimed specifically at strengthening the responsibility of experts when conducting examinations of assessment reports.

2011-2013 - requirements for the level of knowledge of experts were developed and approved, a unified qualification exam was introduced to confirm their professionalism;

2014. - the responsibility of experts for possible losses to consumers has been increased to 5,000,000 rubles;

2015. - the subject of expertise has been changed: the expert's duty has become to check the valuation report not only for its compliance with the requirements of the law, but also in terms of confirming the market value of the valuation object.

Irina Vishnevskaya believes that the abolition of mandatory expertise will inevitably lead to a decrease in the quality of evaluation reports:

“Because of the abolition of the mandatory examination of appraisal SROs, I expect a deterioration in the quality of services, due to the now lack of control of appraisers, especially regional ones, where the quality of expertise has previously lagged significantly behind the standards of market leaders - large Moscow and St. Petersburg companies. As a result, we will see an increase in the number of complaints from consumers of services and disciplinary sanctions imposed, especially in connection with the tightening of requirements under the disciplinary code of the SROO.
Given the massive privatization plan for 2016, a new threat is emerging. SRO expertise, which was previously mandatory, is no longer required, and as a result, the pressure of the state customer on appraisers, which has always been significant, but was limited to the argument that SROs will not miss the report, will disappear. Also, the self-regulation system, in addition to control functions, ensured the exchange of knowledge and training of appraisers. Now it won't."

Olga Kosets, on the contrary, is confident in the usefulness of abolishing the mandatory examination:

“My opinion is that the SRO institution has not taken root in our country today, its creation is premature. We are not ready to unite in professional communities for the sake of achieving state goals. Most often, SROs are an additional layer, as a result of which entrepreneurs incur additional costs. Mandatory examination, although it is free, has clear signs of corruption, so its abolition will be a positive factor.”

The state has long expressed dissatisfaction with the work of SRO experts, but systematically solved this problem, increasing the responsibility of experts. Now there is no mandatory examination at all. Who needed it? It is really difficult to ignore the fact that Irina Vishnevskaya pointed out: the abolition of the mandatory examination coincided with the upcoming large-scale privatization of state property.

Responsibility of the customer for providing data on the object of assessment

The draft law also contains positive changes, in particular, introduces the responsibility of the customer for providing data on the object of assessment. Previously, the appraiser and the self-regulatory organization that performed the examination were responsible for the objectivity of the assessment. However, the objectivity of the assessment, no doubt, is significantly affected by the completeness and reliability of the initial information, which in some cases was very problematic to learn from the customer.

“Any transaction involves the responsibility of two parties - the customer and the contractor, this particular point is now enshrined in law. Previously, all responsibility for the objectivity of the assessment was assigned to the appraiser and the SRO, which performed the examination of the report. To create a transparent procedure for transactions with property, especially when it comes to state and municipal property, the initial data for the assessment received from the customer is a necessary item,” notes Olga Kosets.

The changes regarding customer liability are undoubtedly positive. Alina Tukhvatullina, a lawyer at FreshDoc.ru Document Constructor, believes that this norm cannot be called absolutely new:

“Amendments to the law on appraisal activities mainly affect the issues of appraisers' liability. But something is also provided for the customer of the assessment, a separate article in the law (15.2) will finally be devoted to him. The rights and obligations of the customer are discussed; highlighted, for example, the obligation of the customer to provide the appraiser with all the necessary information and documentation. Now the appraiser will be able to directly appeal to the obligation of the customer to contribute in every possible way to the assessment. Most likely, this norm cannot be called absolutely new, it is a question of clarifying the duties that existed before. After all, even now appraisers send a request to the customer to provide information on the object of appraisal, referring to Article 14 of the law on appraisal activities. But if now the provision of access to information that is a commercial secret depends on the goodwill of the customer, then the new law establishes the direct obligation of the customer to give access to documents that store a trade secret. Now, in practice, our clients prescribe access to trade secrets in an agreement on the provision of valuation services or in a separate confidentiality agreement.”

According to Irina Vishnevskaya, the changes relating to the responsibility of the customer are unlikely to be fully applied:

“As for attempts to lay responsibility on the customer, I do not believe in the efficiency of this mechanism. If this is advertised as a way to relieve assessors of their responsibility for having to double-check facts and data, we will continue to do so.”

Powers of the Council for Appraisal Activities under the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia

The authority to review draft regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation in the field of appraisal activity and to submit recommendations for their approval is excluded from the powers of the Council for Appraisal Activities under the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

“The Council for Appraisal Activities under the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia is now an optional body,” explains Irina Vishnevskaya. “While further actions are not clear, the SROO will probably attempt to preserve it and legitimize the materials that are being developed there.”

The valuation community fears that such changes may lead to a transition from self-regulation of valuation activities (adoption of regulations taking into account the position of both the professional valuation community and the opinion of consumers of valuation services) to state regulation of this area.

Most of the provisions of the Law come into force on July 01, 2017. However, the document contains a reservation: for members of the SROO (for persons who are members as of 01/01/2017):

• the rule that “an appraiser can carry out appraisal activities in the areas specified in the qualification certificate” will be applied from April 01, 2018;
• the rule establishing a mandatory condition for membership in the SROO, in addition to the current requirements, namely the “availability of a qualification certificate”, has been applied since April 01, 2018.

On June 10, NP SRO "REDD" will hold a free open webinar on changes to the 135-FZ "On valuation activities in the Russian Federation".

Evaluators are interested in what will be the procedure, the conditions for passing the qualifying exam. Amendments to the law on valuation activities will come into effect in stages, that is, first one block of amendments, then another, so I recommend that you study this law well in order to be prepared for subsequent changes and not miss anything.

To begin with, we have amended Article 4 135 of the federal law, which speaks of the subject of appraisal activities: from July 1, 2017, an appraiser can carry out appraisal activities in accordance with the direction that will be indicated in his qualification certificate.

Article 4. Subjects of appraisal activities Subjects of appraisal activities are individuals who are members of one of the self-regulatory organizations of appraisers and who have insured their liability in in accordance with the requirements of this Federal Law (hereinafter referred to as appraisers). An appraiser may carry out appraisal activities independently, engaging in private practice, as well as on the basis of an employment contract between an appraiser and a legal entity that meets the conditions established by Article 15.1 of this Federal Law.

Article 4 shall be supplemented with part three as follows: “The appraiser can carry out appraisal activities in the areas specified in the qualification certificate» (effective from 01.07.17) For persons who are members of the SROO as of 01.01.17, this part comes into force from 01.04.2018

Article 21 details what a qualification certificate is and what are the conditions for obtaining it:

Article 21. Professional training of appraisers Professional appraisal training is carried out by public or private educational institutions specially created for this purpose, or on the basis of faculties (departments, departments) of public or private educational institutions that have the right to provide such training in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation	Article 21 shall be stated in the following wording: Professional training of appraisers is carried out by educational organizations of higher education under the programs of magistracy, professional retraining, advanced training"

The difference from the previous edition is that now the professional training of appraisers will be carried out by educational institutions of higher education under the master's degree programs for professional development of advanced training. This means that undergraduate education, which was previously allowed for assessors, is no longer allowed as of June 2, 2016. Individuals who complete the 4-year undergraduate appraiser's professional appraisal course should take care to upgrade their qualifications and undergo retraining. This condition is necessary both for passing the qualification exam and for becoming a member of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers.

Article 21.1. Unified qualifying exam A member of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers may be included in the expert council of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers only if he passes a unified qualification exam in accordance with the requirements for the level of knowledge required by the federal appraisal standard for an expert of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers. Requirements for the level of knowledge of an expert of a self-regulatory organization of appraisers are established by the federal appraisal standard. The Unified Qualification Examination is conducted by educational organizations of higher education registered in the Russian Federation and accredited by the authorized federal body exercising the functions of supervising the activities of self-regulatory organizations of appraisers. The list of examination questions for conducting a unified qualification exam, the procedure and conditions for accreditation of educational institutions of higher education that conduct a unified qualification exam, the procedure for conducting and passing a unified qualification exam, including the procedure for filing and considering appeals, are approved by the authorized federal body that performs functions according to the normative legal regulation of valuation activities. For taking the unified qualification exam, the applicant may be charged a fee, the amount and procedure for charging which are established by educational institutions of higher education that conduct the unified qualification exam. The maximum amount of the fee charged from the applicant for taking the unified qualification exam is established by the authorized federal body exercising the functions of normative legal regulation of valuation activities.

Article 21.1 shall be stated in the following wording: The qualification exam in the field of appraisal activities (hereinafter referred to as the qualification exam) is conducted by the body authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the body authorized to conduct the qualification exam) in order to confirm the level of qualification. The list of examination questions for the qualification examination is formed by the body authorized to conduct the qualification examination. The procedure for compiling a list of examination questions, conducting and passing a qualification exam, which includes, among other things, the procedure for an applicant to participate in a qualification exam, the procedure for determining the results of a qualification exam, the procedure for filing and considering appeals, is approved by the authorized federal body that performs the functions of legal regulation of valuation activities . An applicant may be charged a fee for taking a qualification exam, the amount and procedure for collecting which are established by the body authorized to conduct the qualification exam. The maximum amount of the fee charged from the applicant for taking the qualification exam is established by the authorized federal body exercising the functions of legal regulation of valuation activities. An applicant who has received higher education and (or) professional retraining in the field of valuation is allowed to the qualification exam. The applicant is allowed to retake the qualifying exam no earlier than in ninety days.

With regard to the unified qualification exam, the legislator outlined in general terms how this will be carried out. At the moment, it is safe to divide the procedure for conducting the exam into two conditional blocks.

First block concerns directly admission to the qualification exam: here the requirements will be education, which should be higher or professional retraining in the field of valuation.

Second block these are the conditions for issuing a qualification certificate, here there will be requirements for work experience

It is difficult to imagine how this rule will be implemented for young professionals in practice, because there is no experience of passing exams. The answer to this question will be updated in this article as relevant information becomes available.

The qualification exam is conducted by an authorized body of the Government of the Russian Federation. This body authorized to conduct the exam is charged with the functions of developing a list of examination questions, charging fees for passing the exam, the procedure for conducting a qualifying exam, the procedure for filing an appeal against the applicant's participation and the procedure for determining the results. Today, this is the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, presumably this ministry, and will establish the basic rules for which the exam will be taken, as well as the form of the qualification certificate, the number of these forms, the directions that will be indicated in the qualification certificate.

If the attempt fails, the assessor will only be able to retake the exam after 90 days. You need to take this fact into account, since for members of the SROO who are on the register, the requirement to have a qualification certificate comes into effect from April 1, 2018. That is, from July 1, 2017, when the need to pass the exam and have a qualification certificate comes into force, until April 1, 2018, appraisers will have to pass the exam and submit a copy of the qualification certificate to the self-regulatory organization of which they are a member. In the event of an unsuccessful attempt to pass the exam, the evaluators get no more than three attempts, and only if they retake the same day.

The legislator prescribed in the new version of the law the refusal to issue a qualification certificate in the event that the education of a person does not meet the necessary conditions, or his experience does not correspond to the experience that is presented to him. And this can be found out after the evaluator has passed the exam. To avoid such unpleasant consequences, you will need to have the length of service confirmed by the necessary entries in the work book, as required by law. Employment contracts either part-time or at the main place of work can also be supporting documents. The qualification certificate is issued for a period of 3 years, and after 3 years the appraiser must take the exam again.

Article 14. Rights of the appraiser The appraiser has the right: apply independently methods for assessing the object of assessment in accordance with the assessment standards; require from the customer when carrying out mandatory assessment of the object of assessment ensuring access in full to the documentation necessary for the implementation of this assessment; receive clarifications and additional information necessary for the implementation of this assessment; request in writing or orally from third parties the information necessary for the assessment of the object of assessment, with the exception of information that is a state or commercial secret; if the refusal to provide the specified information significantly affects the reliability of the assessment of the object of assessment, the appraiser indicates this in the report; involve, as necessary, on a contractual basis, other appraisers or other specialists to participate in the assessment of the object of assessment; refuse to assess the object of assessment in cases where the customer violated the terms of the contract, did not provide the necessary information about the appraisal object or did not provide the working conditions corresponding to the contract; demand reimbursement of expenses associated with the evaluation of the appraisal object, and monetary remuneration for the appraisal of the appraisal object as determined by the court, arbitration court or arbitration court.

Article 14 shall be supplemented with the following paragraph: "voluntarily suspend the right to carry out valuation activities upon a personal application sent to the self-regulatory organization of appraisers, in the manner established by the internal documents of the self-regulatory organization of appraisers"

Article 14, which speaks of the rights of the appraiser, includes the right of the appraiser to voluntarily suspend his appraisal activities. Based on the meaning of the law, the suspension of the right to carry out appraisal activities is not equal to the suspension of the right to membership of a self-regulatory organization, with all the ensuing consequences. That is, appraisers continue to remain in the register, the contribution to the compensation fund is retained for them, simply due to some life circumstances, they may temporarily not carry out appraisal activities, which they declare in their SROO. But at the same time, they continue to pay membership fees, since they do not cease to be members of the self-regulatory organization of appraisers, and bear all the duties and rights that members of a self-regulatory organization have.

Pay attention to Article 24, a new provision has been introduced here that if an appraiser wants to voluntarily terminate membership in a self-regulatory organization of appraisers by writing a statement about this, then he will be able to terminate this membership. If he does not have a complaint that he received before he wrote the application, there is no procedure for disciplinary proceedings against him and if he does not have a debt in paying membership fees to a self-regulatory organization. And if earlier it was a practice that many self-regulatory organizations used by prescribing the conditions for suspension of membership in their regulations, now it is legally enshrined and has a mandatory norm.

A clarifying amendment was made to Article 15.1 - legal entities that carry out valuation activities are now called valuation companies.

The legislation governing valuation activities in the Russian Federation consists of this Federal Law, federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation adopted in accordance with it, laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as international treaties of the Russian Federation.

The constituent entities of the Russian Federation regulate valuation activities in the manner prescribed by this Federal Law. If an international treaty of the Russian Federation establishes other rules than those provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of valuation activities, the rules of the international treaty of the Russian Federation shall apply.

This Federal Law defines the legal basis for the regulation of valuation activities in relation to objects of valuation owned by the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation or municipalities, individuals and legal entities, for the purposes of making transactions with objects of valuation.

For the purposes of this Federal Law, appraisal activity is understood as the activity of subjects of appraisal activity aimed at establishing a market or other value in relation to objects of appraisal.

For the purposes of this Federal Law, the market value of an appraisal object means the most probable price at which this appraisal object can be alienated on the open market under competitive conditions, when the parties to the transaction act reasonably, having all the necessary information, and the value of the transaction price does not affect any or extraordinary circumstances, that is, when:
