4 Chartered Accountants' Report of Factual Findings to the Managing Agent of Silverdale Court This report is made to the managing agent for issue with the service charge accounts in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our work has been undertaken to enable us to make this report to the managing agent and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the managing agent for our work or for this report. Basis of report Our work was carried out having regard to TECH 03/11 Residential Service Charge Accounts published jointly by the professional accountancy bodies with ARMA and RICS. In summary, the procedures we carried out with respect to the service charge accounts were: 1. We obtained the service charge accounts and checked whether the figures in the accounts were extracted correctly from the accounting records maintained by the managing agent; 2. We checked, based on a sample, whether entries in the accounting records were supported by receipts, other documentation or evidence that we inspected; 3. We checked whether the balance of the service charge monies for this property shown on page 5 of the service charge accounts agreed or reconciled to the bank statements for the accounts in which the funds are held. Because the above procedures do not constitute either an audit or a review made in accordance with the International Standards of Auditing (UK and Ireland) or International Standards on Review Engagements, we do not express any assurance on the service charge accounts other than in making the factual statements set out below. Had we performed additional procedures or had we performed an audit or review of the financial statements in accordance with International Standards of Auditing (UK and Ireland) or International Standards on Review Engagements, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. Report of factual findings: a. With respect to item 1 we found the figures in the statement of account to have been extracted correctly from the accounting records. b. With respect to item 2 we found that those entries in the accounting records that we checked were supported by receipts, other documentation or evidence that we inspected. 2
