Responsibility of the accountant (v) We shall compile the annual accounts based on the accounting records maintained and the information and explanations given to us.

Our work as the compiler of the annual accounts will not be an audit of the accounts in accordance with Auditing Standards. Consequently, our work will not provide any assurance that the accounting records or the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud, other irregularities or error. We will report, with any variations that we consider may be necessary, that in accordance with your instructions we have the prepared the accounts from the accounting records of the business and from the information and explanations given to us. We have a professional duty to compile accounts which conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Where we identify that the accounts do not conform to accepted accounting principles, or if the accounting policies adopted are not immediately apparent, we will report this to you. As part of our normal procedures we may request you to provide written confirmation of any information of explanations given to us orally during the course of our work. Your responsibility

If appropriate, we will initiate repayment claims when tax has been overpaid. We will deal with H.M. Revenue & Customs regarding any amendments required to your return.
