9 QUALIFICATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS 1. During the course of the subject inspection no attempt was made to ascertain whether any Managing Agent has complied with the detailed accounting requirements of the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 or whether the prescribed accounting and prescribed financial statement requirements are being complied with by the Association. As these requirements are particularly complex, an additional inspection by a specially trained Inspector would be necessary before we could report on these matters. 2. The information contained in this Report was extracted from the books and records of the Association and, so far as was possible, from conversations with officers of the Association. Special procedures were followed to minimise the possibility of records not being made available for inspection and this information has, where possible, also been checked with information obtained from previous inspections. However, your attention is directed to the possibility that all of the records of the Association may not have been made available for inspection, or alternatively, that the records may not have contained all of the information of interest to a Purchaser or Mortgagee. 3. This report format was designed by Purchasers Strata Inspections Pty. Ltd. for use by it exclusively and it owns the copyright.
